Chapter 82 - Flying Demonwolves, Killing in Silence
In this world, there were many types of Ocular Arcana: Laser Vision, Telescopic Vision, X-ray Vision and so on.
There was a variety of them, more than what people could think of.
But Shi Gang's Ocular Arcana were still a shocker to Ling Jiu. Shi Gang could release a black flame wherever he focused on. Was this not Amaterasu—Shines from Heaven?
"Watch out, guys! There is a Class-Five Direbeast up ahead!" While Ling Jiu was still in shock, Shi Gang, who was staring at the Direbeast radar screen, suddenly called out.
Ling Jiu took a look and saw a Direbeast eating something on the ground. This Direbeast's body was over ten meters long, covered in quills,. It looked neither like a wild boar nor a rodent.
It was a Class-5 Direbeast: Steelquill Porcupine.
It was feasting on an over-five-meter-long silver kangaroo, which was still alive, screaming in pain as the Steelquill Porcupine gnawed its body.
This was an ordinary sight to the four of them. Nature was a cruel place, where animals eating their prey alive was not uncommon. It was nothing to be surprised about.
The only thing they could do was to kill this Steelquill Porcupine and gave the kangaroo a quick one.
"Who is first?"
"Follow what we have agreed before; we will take turns with Class-Five Direbeasts and join hands when it is a Class-Six. So leave this one to me!"
Ling Jiu lunged out of the airship.
The Steelquill Porcupine suddenly turned around, staring dead at Ling Jiu with its menacing eyes. Its quills stood on ends as it growled.
"The Beckoning!"
Ling Jiu grabbed with his hand in the air.
Since he could use gravity to bounce off objects, he could also use it to pull objects toward him. The only difference was the directions of the gravity force.
Changing the gravity force's direction was a piece of cake for Ling Jiu.
Boom!
The Steelquill Porcupine floated into the air involuntarily. This freaked it out. The steel quills were shot out from its body toward Ling Jiu.
"Rock Giant!"
Ling Jiu had turned into an osmium giant in the matter of a breath.
The densely packed steel quills hit Ling Jiu with loud muffled sounds. But they did no actual harm to him.
"Eightfold Rolling Thunder!"
Ling Jiu clenched his right fist and struck out a punch in a flash. The blow penetrated the Steelquill Porcupine's skull and killed it instantly.
The Steelquill Porcupine dropped to the ground and became breathless after struggling for a few times. Ling Jiu kept the body and returned to his normal form before coming back to the three of them.
"You are damn awesome, Ling Jiu!"
Shi Gang's eyes flashed with light. "You just killed a Class-Five Steelquill Porcupine with a punch. That's brutal!"
"It is all right."
"Let's move on."
The reddish-brown snake, with its pair of eyes, stared at the four of them.
"Class-Five Australian Taipan Snake!" Ai Yuhe whispered. "Who is next?"
"Let me try. Cover me!" Shi Gang was eager to try.
"Be careful!"
"No worries!"
Shi Gang took a deep breath, took off his sunglasses, and stared.
The next moment, a black flame violently burned on the Australian Taipan's head.
The Direbeast shrieked in pain, wriggling and twitching as it rolled on the ground, fl.i.c.k.i.n.g its tail around.
As the tail whacked the rocks, the rocks shattered, and as the tail hit the bushes, the bushes broke in half. The Australian Taipan Snake was in great pain.
Sadly, the harder it struggled, the more intense the black flame burned. The Australian Taipan Snake's head was burnt into ashes in just a few moments.
As the black flame continued to spread to Direbeast's body, Shi Gang glared again and the black flame magically disappeared.
The headless Australian Taipan Snake was still wriggling on the ground. But everyone knew that without the head, death was the only outcome. Its fate was irreversible.
"That's a badass flame!"
"Terrific!"
Ling Jiu and others were stunned, wondering if they were to encounter this flame of Shi Gang, how they could deal with it.
"It's done!"
Shi Gang kept the Australian Taipan Snake's body and walked up to the other three with a smile.
"Didn't you just kill a Class-Five Direbeast? Why did you look so scared of them just now?" Ling Jiu teased.
"My flame can indeed kill Class-Five Direbeasts. But it needs time to do that, during which the Direbeast could find enough time to attack me. I can't deal with a frenzied Class-Five Direbeast."
"You have a point."
The four of them moved on. Half an hour later, they came across a group of about 50 Class-5 Direbeasts, the Australian Flying Demonwolves.
They were about 15 meters long, saffron. The most bizarre thing was, they all grew a pair of yellowish wings on both sides of their ribs. The wings could spread as wide as 20 meters.
The Australian Flying Demonwolve was a rare wolf-type of Direbeast that could fly.
"Shall we join hands this time?" Ling Jiu said with a smile.
"Sure!"
There was no objection from the other three. There were enough Flying Demonwolves to go around for them.
Ling Jiu led the way and lunged out, using his Eightfold Gravity to immobilize 12 of the Flying Demonwolves.
"Eightfold Rolling Thunder!"
Ling Jiu leaped forward, his body fading into a bolt of lightning as he shuffled among the 12 Flying Demonwolves, killing them with 12 punches.
Meanwhile, the rest of the Flying Demonwolves were immobilized on the spot as Ai Yuhe performed a Dimensional Arcana.
Next, it was Yang Ling-er's turn. At first, it seemed like she did not make any move. But somehow immediately a Flying Demonwolf, followed by the rest, suddenly dropped dead to the ground.
"Killing over twenty Flying Demonwolves in silence; what Yang Ling-er has done?" Ling Jiu got chills.
Killing in silence; this was an extremely terrifying ability that was impossible to defend against.
