Chapter 243 - 243 Let’s Unite
Jierna’s strength was formidable, and she was currently in the Tyrant Body state, which gave Song Jian a great headache.
The damage from the Eye Kill was high, but Jierna was surprisingly able to withstand the damage, step by step charging towards Song Jian. Her frenzied battle state took even Song Jian aback – he hadn’t expected this girl to be a battle maniac!
Five seconds passed, and a hint of fatigue flashed in Song Jian’s eyes. Jierna was now just three or four meters away from him and could reach him with just a sprint.
Sword Silk!
Song Jian swung his sword at Jierna, the sword and the battle-axe viciously collided, and a small piece of metal chipped off from the sword. A faint crack appeared on the surface of the Guardian’s Sword, spreading downward from the chipped area.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh-
Three strands of silver Sword Silk appeared out of nowhere from Song Jian’s body surface and stabbed towards Jierna’s body. One of them pierced Jierna’s arm, one pierced her neck, and another entered her abdomen.
Usually, it could cause close to four hundred points of damage, but for Jierna, who was in the Tyrant Body state, it only caused slightly more than two hundred and eighty points of damage.
“Die!” Jierna swung her battle-axe towards Song Jian. Intense breaking wind sound suddenly resounded, as unsettling as ghost wails and wolf howls, giving one a headache.
The strong winds met his face, cutting a few minor wounds on Song Jian’s cheeks. Fresh blood stained his entire cheeks in a flash.
Buzz-
A light shield appeared on Song Jian’s body surface as he gritted his teeth and stabbed at Jierna with his sword. He completely gave up on defense, acting as if he was fighting for his life.
A cruel smile appeared on Jierna’s face, her battle-axe didn’t slow, and a jade necklace around her neck flash with a pale blue light.
Bang!
The battle-axe cleaved on the light shield, Song Jian’s sword also cleaved on a pale blue water screen. This strike, neither of them had inflicted damage on the other.
“You dare to fight for your life against me? You are not qualified!” Jierna’s eyes were fixed on Song Jian, her tongue licking the blood at the corner of her mouth, and she sneered.
Roar-
Behind him, two Red-tailed Beasts finally broke free from the Blood Zombie’s “Human Pyramid.” Shaking their heads and tails, they immediately flung several blood zombies hanging on their bodies.
Slap-
A Blood Zombie was thrown away by a Red-tailed Beast, happened to fly past another Red-tailed Beast, the Red-tailed Beast twisted its head like a lightning, biting the Blood Zombie in its mouth. With a hard bite, it immediately crushed the Blood Zombie into a puddle of pus and blood, exploding in mid-air.
In an instant, the two Red-tailed Beasts were like tigers entering sheepfold, sweeping the remaining dozen of Blood Zombies. Jierna looked back at Song Jian with a wild smile on her face: “The trash creatures you summoned are almost wiped out. Once my two Red-tailed Beasts finish off your trash, I’d like to see what you can do to fight me!”
“Jierna, you’ve gone too far! The Goblin Clan won’t let you go!” Canaan, hiding in the distance with a face full of rage, screamed.
“I should be scared of your short clan?” Jierna showed a disdainful expression on her face, completely ignoring Canaan’s threat.
Song Jian took out two potions from his pocket, threw one at the two Red-tailed Beasts, and the other at Jierna.
Pat-
Jierna swung her battle axe toward the sky, causing the potion vial to explode in the air. A cloud of green powder enveloped Jierna, but was blocked by the golden light around her body—the Weakness Potion had no effect on Jierna in her Tyrant Body State.
“Is that the only trick you know?” Jierna gave Song Jian a contemptuous smile and swung her axe toward him.
Song Jian backed off hastily, knowing he was no match for Jierna in her current state.
Just then, Song Jian felt two gusts of wind from behind him. He abruptly lowered his body, and two Red-tailed Beasts leapt over him.
Grrr-
The Red-tailed Beasts hit the ground, turned their bodies around, leaned slightly forward, and bared their fangs at Song Jian, growling lowly at him.
“H-Human, we are no match for that crazy woman, we should run away!” Canaan said tremblingly from afar.
Although Canaan had no attack power, his defense was formidable, and he had several Acceleration Skills. He had explored more than half of the maze here, so if they fled, Jierna wouldn’t be able to catch up with him.
Song Jian glanced at Jierna in her Tyrant Body State, and then at the two Red-tailed Beasts in front of her. He gestured with his left hand, and a summoning matrix appeared in the air.
A Black Dragon hatchling appeared within the matrix. After taking a glance at Song Jian, it turned its head towards the two Red-tailed Beasts and let out a roar.
The Black Dragon hatchling had now leveled up to level seven. Although it was still three levels lower than the Red-tailed Beasts, it totally overshadowed them in terms of attributes and skills. Most importantly, a faint Dragon Might emerged from it.
The two Red-tailed Beasts’ tails were originally waving arrogantly in the air like two burning flames, but the moment the Black Dragon hatchling roared at them, the two flames instantly went out, and the Red-tailed Beasts tucked their tails tightly, bent their bodies, and let out mournful cries, their eyes filled with terror.
They didn’t have the courage to attack the Black Dragon hatchling due to the suppression of bloodline levels between creatures.
Seeing the Black Dragon hatchling, then looking at the two Red-Tailed Beasts crouching at her feet, Jierna furrowed her brows, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
“Human, are you interested in joining hands?” Jierna looked at Song Jian.
“Join hands?” Song Jian raised an eyebrow and asked, “Together, go to Kantelu Ruins and find the Prayer Altar?”
“How about we team up to take down the green-skinned dwarf?” Jierna licked her lips, glanced at Canaan with a smirk, and said.
Canaan looked at Song Jian with a frightened expression and slowly backed away.
“We… we have a contract!” Canaan stared at Song Jian and said in a low voice.
Hearing Jierna’s proposition, Song Jian instantly frowned and tightened his grip on his longsword. Originally he had summoned the Black Dragon hatchling to hold back the two Red-tailed Beasts. He never expected that the two Beasts would lose their fighting spirit upon seeing the Black Dragon hatchling—they probably wouldn’t even dare to fight back if Song Jian were to take them down now.
With the threat of the Red-tailed Beasts gone, Song Jian’s situation shifted from being outnumbered to having the upper hand. The change in the attacking and defending state was unfavorable to Jierna, which might be why she suggested joining forces.
Seeing Song Jian’s reaction, Jierna raised an eyebrow and chuckled. “I was just joking with you, human! How about we team up and look for Kantelu Ruins together? This time, I’ll allow you to use the Prayer Altar once. But once you’ve used it, I’m taking the whole Altar away!”
With that, Jierna voluntarily deactivated her Tyrant Body State and walked toward Song Jian.
