YM778.TV Chapter 419 - 413: Troops Divide into Two Routes
As the setting sun gradually went down, Grau’s face seemed anxious as he looked at the distant mountains and asked worriedly.
“Junior Brother, this Dominant Elephant hasn’t budged for two days and nights. Should we keep waiting?”
By now, a full week had passed since their last battle, and even the poison Grau had left in the Vein Dominating Elephant had been largely cleared.
“Senior Brother, let’s wait one more day. If there’s still no movement, then we’ll think of another way.” A seriousness flashed in David Jones’s eyes.
He only had one month of leave from school and couldn’t waste too much time. Their opponents were more cautious than David Jones had expected. Perhaps fearing being tracked, the Vein Dominating Elephant had been deliberately leaving traces of chaos the first few days and had then stayed motionless. Perhaps it was nourishing its recovery by devouring Earth Energy.
“Eh, it’s burrowing into the earth and accelerating its escape!”
Grau’s eyes lit up as he noticed that his target, marked by the poison he had left, was rapidly fleeing far away at a terrifying speed.
“Very well, it can’t hold itself back anymore. Keep our distance and follow it.” David Jones couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.
It seemed that his idea was not wrong. If during the previous battle, Grau had seriously injured or even defeated the Vein Dominating Elephant with an absolute display of strength, out of fear, the Dominant Elephant would definitely not have simply returned to its lair.
It would more likely choose a Dragon Vein terrain with abundant Earth Energy to hide and recover from its injuries in order to avoid any risks for a year or even longer than that.
At the moment David Jones’s words fell, the impatient Grau spread his wings, transformed into a streak of light, and rushed to the sky at an incredible speed. “Don’t worry, everyone will get a share of the Ten Thousand Years Evergreen Stone Milk!” Seeing Rainbow staring at him intently, David Jones rubbed the restless Ice Fox in his arms and confidently said.
To his surprise, Rainbow quickly swelled and expanded, pushing away the Six-tailed Ice Fox and fully occupying David Jones’s embrace with its long body. “Yi!”
Facing Rainbow’s provocation, the Six-tailed Ice Fox nonchalantly closed its eyes.
“Here we go again!11
Seeing Rainbow trying to compete for attention, David Jones’s face showed a bitter smile.
Due to the overlapping attributes and the fact that it was not a Dragon-type, he had no intention to contract the Six-tailed Ice Fox for now.
Unless the Six-tailed Ice Fox had the terrifying potential to evolve into an eight or even nine-tailed creature, but the chances were too slim.
Above the clouds, colorful mist filled the air, spreading out and blending in with the Earth Energy created by the Dragon Vein, forming a breathtaking scene.
Perhaps because the Vein Dominating Elephant had taken over, there were not many Beasts living in these majestic mountains with abundant Arcane Energy, and the roars that David Jones had heard over the past few days had vanished.
In a narrow valley with a flowing river resembling a swimming dragon carrying a large amount of condensed Energy and Arcane fog, a huge shadow of a Giant Dragon quietly descended from the sky.
According to the Beast Trainer Catalogue, there is a chance of finding Evergreen Stalactites in deep Dragon Vein terrain, where the land is formed by Earth Energy and Dragon Vein. This should be the place!” An excited glint appeared in David Jones’s eyes.
“Grau Senior Brother, Ten Thousand Years Evergreen Stone Milk can only be stored in containers made of top-grade Wood-type Arcane Crystals, otherwise, once the stalactites leave the Evergreen Stone and come into contact with other messy energies, they will lose most of their medicinal effects.”
Grau scratched his head, “So that means, the Vein Dominating Elephant can’t take the Evergreen Stalactites?”
“But to prevent the Vein Dominating Elephant from destroying the Evergreen Stalactites before its death, we’d better split up. Senior Brother, you will be responsible for distracting and restraining the Vein Dominating Elephant, while I will sneak into the depths of this valley to take the Stalactites.”
At these words, a trace of hesitation appeared on Grau’s face.
“Won’t this be too dangerous? The Vein Dominating Elephant can sense the
Earth, and you’ll definitely be discovered, junior brother!”
Senior brother, rest assured. With Lolo here, I have foolproof methods.” David Jones replied with a slight smile.
Grau hesitated for a moment but, seeing David’s confident eyes, he finally patted David on the shoulder.
“Be careful. If the Evergreen Stalactites are gone, then they’re gone.” After saying this, Grau’s eyes narrowed as he watched David’s receding figure. A terrifying Dragon Domination erupted from his body without restraint, shaking the entire space.
“Moo!”
With a roar, the earth cracked open, and the Vein Dominating Elephant, with its white fur restored, and still at its apex of power, revealed its eyes, staring deadlocked at the Grau Giant Dragon hovering in the sky above, revealing a hint of fear in its gaze.
Although it had narrowly won in a 1V3 battle last time, the elephant always felt an indistinct unease when facing Grau.
“Is it because of Dragon Domination?”
The Dominant Elephant cast an imperceptible glance at the canyon behind it and unleashed a torrent of rock-type energy from within.
At this point, only the winner would get everything!
David, sensing the horrifying atmosphere erupting around him, decisively crushed the Communication stone. With a barely perceptible spatial fluctuation, the long-missing Lolo suddenly plunged into his arms.
“Help us hide our presence.”
“Snore.”‘( v )/(No problem.)
Lolo clapped its tiny hands, and an invisible spatial force enveloped David and all his pets, including Rainbow.
“Let’s go. The Evergreen Stalactites usually dwell deep in the Earth’s veins, tens of thousands of meters below the surface.”
Sensing the terrifying aftermath of the battle around them and the large, shattered rocks and debris, Lolo clapped her hands together. David and Rainbow seemed to have gained Earth Escape powers, swiftly diving into the earth like diving underwater.
It might have been a minute, or it might have been half an hour. When David passed through the dark surface, an array of beautiful stalactite formations appeared before him, and there were even some massive bones next to a few large stalactites, making people’s hair stand on end.
This Vein Dominating Elephant isn’t easy to deal with, either. It not only killed the original owner of the Evergreen Stalactites but even devoured its flesh and blood.”
Without the need to activate the Illusion-Piercing Eye, David could tell from the vivid features and aura of the bones before him that their owner was a Class VII Gold-Rock Type Overlord Exotic Beast, the Phantom Crocodile.
“Lolo, can you sense the location of the stalactites?”
As David surveyed the surrounding strange rocks and the treacherous terrain with no place to go, his brows furrowed.
“Chirp.” (?>-j<) (I’ll give it a try.)
Lolo opened her right palm, and a drop of green liquid appeared in it. As a refreshing fragrance emerged, the liquid slowly moved towards the northwest. “Snore!”(/ v ) (It’s in that direction!)
Lolo exclaimed, pointing at the exposed black mountain body.
Seeing this, David hurriedly stepped forward and punched the rock with his fist.
“It’s not a hollow rock, so there’s no secret passage. We need to use Earth Escape skills to get in.”
It seemed that, in order to prevent the Ten Thousand Years Evergreen Stone Milk from being exposed, the Vein Dominating Elephant had blocked all nearby entrances by moving the mountain.
