105: Chapter 105 Slaying the Blood-Refined Monster, Blood Raining Down His Head

Golden Scale Bubble Fish: "Glub?"

It spat out another Bubble, a colorless one this time. It wobbled and landed on the Blood Refining Monster's eyelid, popping with a "pop" sound.

Nothing happened.

The monster seemed to feel provoked. With a roar, it lunged its claws at the Golden Scale Bubble Fish, but the fish flicked its tail and dodged.

Its speed was actually no slower than the Green Wind Leopard's.

This scene stunned the four powerhouses on the city wall and shocked the members of the three groups who had looked down on the Golden Scale Bubble Fish, thinking it was just an ornamental fish.

"My god! Is this really that ditzy fish?"

"It's clearly only black iron Level 3."

"Either there's a bug in the world, or we've gone crazy. A black iron Level 3 beast actually has such incredible speed!"

"Crazy, everyone's gone crazy... hahaha..."

The city wall was buzzing with voices.

However, an even more astonishing scene was yet to come.

After dodging the sharp claws, the Golden Scale Bubble Fish spat out Bubbles again. Bubbles shimmering with a dark light drifted and landed on the Blood Refining Monster's chest.

Crack, crack, crack, crack...

Amidst a series of crisp sounds, dense fragments peeled off the Blood Refining Monster's chest, revealing dark red flesh.

The monster was furious, and its remaining mace handle smashed toward the Golden Scale Bubble Fish.

Bang!

A rocky tail swatted away the mace handle. The Di Yuan Python retracted its tail, and the Green Wind Leopard spat out a large area of Wind Blades, viciously slashing at the Blood Refining Monster's chest.

Pfft—

The monster's chest was torn open, and blood sprayed. The immense pain caused the monster to let out a roar, but in the next second, a large cluster of fire meteors crashed onto its chest.

Boom—

This strike directly dented its chest. The monster fell backward. As soon as it hit the ground, the demonic silk that the Seven-Star Demon Spider had been weaving for a long time immediately tightened, binding the monster firmly.

Having vented its emotions, the Bubble Fish returned to its dazed state. With a flick of its tail, it didn't even look at the battle situation and leisurely swam back to the city wall.

It didn't look for the Doll Girl or the others, but went straight to Zhang Erniu, spitting colorless Bubbles.

Zhang Erniu didn't dare to delay and hurried those around her to hand over their demon cores. Before long, another mountain of demon cores was piled up. Although the quality wasn't as good as gold demon cores, they made up for it in quantity.

Watching the Bubble Fish happily absorbing them with its dazed look, no one dared to look down on it even slightly anymore.

"As expected of a Breeding Master. Even a seemingly unremarkable beast has such terrifying destructive power," the Earth Group Leader said sheepishly.

Liu Zhanxing didn't speak, but the excitement in his heart grew stronger. The Golden Scale Bubble Fish's performance made him even more certain that the Breeder named Li Yu was truly a great talent!

Zhang Erniu looked at the Golden Scale Bubble Fish, the image of it spitting Bubbles and shattering scales flashing through her mind, and she wiped the sweat from her forehead.

What does it mean to play a pig to eat a tiger?

This was it.

That was close; luckily she didn't make it angry, otherwise even Da Long wouldn't be able to save her.

Suddenly, the Green Wind Group Leader said hesitantly, "Do you think that Breeding Master guessed that we wouldn't be able to handle this Blood Refining Monster?"

Several people looked over.

The Green Wind Group Leader continued, "Maybe he saw that we were no match for it, so he sent his beast to assist us in battle. Those demon cores might be the fee for this beast's intervention."

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhang Erniu and the others were all stunned.

The Earth Group Leader said, "Impossible. He's just a Breeder who doesn't understand combat. How could he have predicted the battle situation?"

"No! It's possible!" Liu Zhanxing shook his head, his face full of awe. "Otherwise, why would this fish come to the city wall? Isn't that just adding to the chaos?"

The Green Wind Group Leader looked at Zhang Erniu: "What do you think? You're the only one here who has met that Breeding Master."

"I think..."

Zhang Erniu frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly clapped her hands: "It's very likely! Such a powerful beast must consume a lot for each attack, so it needs to absorb a large number of demon cores. No wonder Li Yu told me to give all the demon cores to the Bubble Fish after reaching the city wall!"

"So that's it!"

"How miraculous! Truly an extraordinary man."

Just like that, the three powerhouses who hadn't even met Li Yu yet, through their own imagination and speculation, successfully envisioned Li Yu as a mastermind pulling strings from behind the scenes.

The strength of the Blood Refining Monster was beyond doubt, but anyone could see that this fellow wasn't very bright.

After its chest scales were shattered by the Golden Scale Bubble Fish and it was wounded by the Green Wind Leopard and other beasts, it was completely driven by rage, chasing and smashing at the nearest Green Wind Leopard.

The Green Wind Leopard didn't fight head-on either, using its speed to circle the monster, while the Di Yuan Python occasionally formed rock pillars and mud pits to delay the monster.

The Seven-Star Demon Spider provided restraint, slowing the monster down even further.

The Green Wind Leopard would throw a Wind Blade or a few wind cannons every now and then while being chased, kiting the Blood Refining Monster like a kite.

In the air, the Sky-Shattering Fire Dragon had no scruples, raining down meteors. Sometimes they missed, but a single hit was worth a hundred Wind Blades.

After a few minutes of bombardment.

Finally, as a fire meteor sharpened by a Wind Blade fell at an angle, it pierced right through the Blood Refining Monster.

The monster let out an unwilling wail and its body crashed down.

The dense swarm of demon beasts in the distance, having lost their leader, immediately scattered like birds and beasts, fleeing toward the forest and mountains, gradually disappearing.

A brief silence fell over the city wall, followed by an explosion of thunderous cheers in the next second.

"Whoa! We won just like that? Bubble, you're so amazing!" The Doll Girl jumped up and down, looking at the Golden Scale Bubble Fish in shock.

The others who had fed the Golden Scale Bubble Fish also wore expressions of pride, as if sharing in the glory.

Regardless, the one who broke the stalemate was the Golden Scale Bubble Fish they had fed. It wasn't too much for them, as temporary caretakers, to feel a sense of participation in this performance.

"Finally dead. Damn, its health bar was thick!" Zhang Erniu cursed.

"If that Bubble Fish hadn't broken its scales, the city wall might have been in danger," Liu Zhanxing remarked with emotion.

The Green Wind and Earth Group Leaders also nodded.

No matter what, the four of them working together, plus the Bubble Fish's defense-breaking Bubbles, had successfully killed a powerful Blood Refining Monster.

This battle was glorious enough!

Several people looked at the Golden Scale Bubble Fish with strange glints in their eyes.

"Wait, something's not right!" the Green Wind Group Leader suddenly said.

The others looked away and followed the Green Wind Group Leader's gaze, only to see the Blood Refining Monster's body beginning to swell, with lumps bulging out one by one, thousands of them, densely packed.

This eerie scene made people's hair stand on end and their spines chill. Some people with trypophobia screamed and collapsed, fainting on the spot.

Gurgle, gurgle...

The sound of bubbling liquid emerged from within the Blood Refining Monster.

Liu Zhanxing and several group leaders looked at each other, their eyes filled with wariness.

They gave the order, and the beasts retreated. Then Liu Zhanxing ordered a squad of soldiers to aim their guns at the lumps on the Blood Refining Monster.

Bang, bang, bang...

A volley of bullets flew past and landed on the Bubbles, but with several "clangs," the bullets couldn't break the lumps.

"Let me try," Zhang Erniu said.

The Green Wind Group Leader shook his head: "Let me do it. Da Long's attack range is too wide, and if some flammable gas has mutated inside this monster, a huge explosion might swallow us all."

Zhang Erniu had no choice but to give up.

The Green Wind Group Leader ordered the Green Wind Leopard to go. The Green Wind Leopard also realized this dead fellow was a bit eerie. From two hundred meters away, it condensed a crescent-like blade.

Swish—

The crescent blade slashed through, piercing a lump and sinking into the monster's body.

But nothing happened. Not even a trace of pus flowed out; everything was quiet.

Just as Zhang Erniu and the others breathed a sigh of relief and the Green Wind Leopard also lowered its guard, suddenly, the Blood Refining Monster exploded with a "boom."

Countless streaks of blood-red soared into the sky, turning into a rain of blood that came pitter-pattering down.

Everyone and every beast was drenched.

Some screamed, some were terrified, and some cursed, but more people sniffed the bloody scent on themselves, looked at each other, and said, "That's it?"

Confirming that the blood rain was not a threat, everyone stopped caring and began to clean up the battlefield and clear the corpses.

The Golden Scale Bubble Fish crawled out from under the Doll Girl's skirt, avoided the touch of others stained with blood, and sneezed.

It looked at the blood-stained ground, a flash of disgust appearing in its eyes.
