81: Thick-armored Giant Pig

A golden-yellow fish with a spindle-shaped body and a long, sharp spike on its head had driven its spike deep into the body of the Golden-tailed Strange-fragrant Bear.

Even from a distance, Zhang Daobai couldn't help but instinctively clench his buttocks at the sight of where it had been pierced.

"Roar!"

Feeling the intense pain, the Golden-tailed Strange-fragrant Bear instinctively tensed its muscles, but every contraction only increased the agony within.

The bear hurriedly turned around, wanting to swat away the Golden Swordfish, but its bulky body and short limbs couldn't reach it at all.

By now, the Golden Swordfish was also starting to panic; it wanted to thrash its body to break free from the Golden-tailed Strange-fragrant Bear's body.

But as soon as it moved, the bear's internal muscles clamped down on its bone spike, making it impossible to escape.

Watching this scene of two Rank 3 Yao Beasts 'locked in a loving embrace,' Zhang Daobai immediately lost any desire to spar.

Instead, he found a thick branch to sit on and quietly watched the battle between these two Rank 3 Yao Beasts.

Unable to hit it or shake it off, the Golden-tailed Strange-fragrant Bear raged impotently for a while before finally thinking of a good solution.

With a forceful push of its legs, it leaped upward and then dropped down bottom-first, intending to crush the Golden Swordfish with its weight.

Even if it didn't crush it to death, it should at least be able to shake it off!

The Golden Swordfish also sensed the bear's intention, and a golden light flared from its body.

Then, with a forceful flick of its tail, it didn't try to break free this time, but rather aimed to go even deeper!

A cloud of dust billowed up, and when it finally settled, only the Golden-tailed Strange-fragrant Bear remained in Zhang Daobai's sight.

As for where the Golden Swordfish had gone, Zhang Daobai already knew the answer as he looked at the pool of blood and the bear's eyes, which remained open in death.

Seeing this messy scene, Zhang Daobai immediately released Youying from the spirit taming space.

As soon as it emerged, Youying woke up from its slumber: "Is something wrong?"

After stretching lazily, Youying looked up and asked Zhang Daobai.

"There are two Rank 3 Yao Beast corpses over there. Do you want to eat them?" Zhang Daobai asked, looking toward the Golden-tailed Strange-fragrant Bear's body.

Although the corpses of the Golden-tailed Strange-fragrant Bear and the Golden Swordfish were worth quite a few Spirit Stones, Zhang Daobai didn't really want to handle them given how they died, so he decided to make use of the waste.

Hearing this, Youying turned to look and immediately showed a look of excitement, its figure vanishing from Zhang Daobai's arms in an instant.

In the next second, the Golden-tailed Strange-fragrant Bear's corpse in the distance was swallowed by a black curtain, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

"Not bad!"

Youying returned to Zhang Daobai's arms instantly and licked its paws with satisfaction; the entire process took no more than three breaths.

"Now it's time for you to work. Find me an Early Stage or Middle Stage Rank 3 Yao Beast."

Zhang Daobai patted Youying's head and ordered.

Youying nodded upon hearing this and then vanished again in an instant.

After a short while, Youying reappeared, opened its mouth, and spat out a Middle Stage Rank 3 Thick-armored Giant-strength Pig.

"You brought it back directly?"

Zhang Daobai looked at Youying in surprise.

"Mm."

Youying sat on the branch next to Zhang Daobai and nodded very calmly.

"...Good job," Zhang Daobai praised after a moment of silence.

It seems I still underestimated it.

Zhang Daobai thought to himself before jumping down.

"Oink oink!"

The Thick-armored Giant-strength Pig brought over by Youying was stunned for a moment, but it soon sensed Zhang Daobai's aura.

Its eyes immediately turned red as it faced Zhang Daobai and let out an angry low growl.

It believed that its sudden arrival here must have something to do with Zhang Daobai.

Seeing Zhang Daobai jump down voluntarily, the Thick-armored Giant-strength Pig charged at him like a small mountain.

Although the Thick-armored Giant-strength Pig was massive, its speed was not slow at all, looking like a hundred-ton truck hurtling toward him.

Zhang Daobai didn't dare to take its impact head-on, so his figure blurred, and he landed directly on the pig's back.

"Golden Sword Evil-Breaking Slash!"

Zhang Daobai slashed down at the Thick-armored Giant-strength Pig's back with all his might without hesitation.

But when the tip of the sword touched the pig's back, Zhang Daobai immediately felt a powerful resistance.

Even though Zhang Daobai used his full strength, he only left an insignificant scratch on the Thick-armored Giant-strength Pig's back.

At this moment, Zhang Daobai finally understood what Lin Luoxue felt when she faced that Body Refining brute.

That feeling of helplessness when you can't break through a defense was truly frustrating.

"Roar!"

Feeling the stinging pain on its back, the Thick-armored Giant-strength Pig suddenly slammed its head into a giant tree.

With a loud crack, the giant tree snapped and fell toward the pig.

But the Thick-armored Giant-strength Pig didn't run away; instead, it turned to look at Zhang Daobai.

The dense, tangled branches of the giant tree covered Zhang Daobai like a massive net.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Thick-armored Giant-strength Pig raised its front legs and stomped hard on the ground.

The immense force kicked up a large amount of soil and rocks, and immediately after, an earthy-yellow light enveloped the rocks, giving them a metallic sheen.

Swish swish swish!

Under the control of the Thick-armored Giant-strength Pig, these rocks shot toward Zhang Daobai like cannonballs.

"Void Stealth!"

Zhang Daobai's eyes flashed, and his figure vanished from mid-air, entering the Void Realm.

In the next second, Zhang Daobai reappeared at the side of the Thick-armored Giant-strength Pig and slashed at it with his sword.

Unlike before, the defense the Thick-armored Giant-strength Pig was so proud of was sliced open instantly like paper under Zhang Daobai's sword.

Blood and organs spilled from the massive wound in its abdomen, and the Thick-armored Giant-strength Pig let out a painful wail.

But its emotions were soon overtaken by rage; it only wanted to do one thing now, and that was to kill Zhang Daobai.

However, the next scene immediately shattered its delusions.

Zhang Daobai was like a ghost wandering through the Void Realm, flashing rapidly around it.

Every time Zhang Daobai appeared, he would leave a deep, bone-deep wound on its body before instantly vanishing again.

In less than three seconds, over a dozen gruesome wounds appeared on the Thick-armored Giant-strength Pig's body.

A large amount of blood drained away along with its strength, and though it wanted to fight Zhang Daobai to the death, it found it couldn't even touch the corner of his clothes.

"Eat it."

Zhang Daobai looked at the Thick-armored Giant-strength Pig, which was already breathing more out than in, and then turned to speak to Youying.

Soon, under the Thick-armored Giant-strength Pig's unwilling gaze, a dark shadow quickly swallowed it up.
