68: Chapter 68 Beast King Joins Forces
Only those fierce beasts with insufficient strength were affected, their souls instantly impacted by the Soul-Devouring Tiger King's roar, causing them to fall into a coma one after another.
The slightly stronger fierce beasts soon woke up, while the Beast Kings relied on their own strength to block the attack.
Seeing the Soul-Devouring Tiger King trying to escape, Tang Mo also manipulated the Corrosive Poison Barrier to catch up.
The Soul-Devouring Tiger King was suddenly anxious and exerted all its strength to launch an attack on the Great-Horned Bull King.
There was no other way; among all the beast herds, only this Great-Horned Bull King's strength was relatively weaker and easier to break through. The Soul-Devouring Tiger King had set its sights on this point, which is why it launched an all-out attack on the Great-Horned Bull King.
"Moo~!"
Seeing itself being underestimated, the Great-Horned Bull King was instantly enraged, its eyes turning blood-red.
A surge of dark red blood energy gushed out from within the Great-Horned Bull King's body.
The Great-Horned Bull King's size increased accordingly, and the pair of massive horns on its head became even larger, with streaks of dark gold patterns appearing particularly eerie.
The Soul-Devouring Tiger King flashed, appearing directly in front of the Great-Horned Bull King, and swiped its sharp tiger claws at its head.
The Great-Horned Bull King was not to be outdone and immediately used its huge horns to counterattack.
The Soul-Devouring Tiger King's figure flashed again, arriving directly behind the Great-Horned Bull King, and launched another claw attack.
The Great-Horned Bull King seemed to have anticipated that the Soul-Devouring Tiger King would launch a sneak attack; it swung its bull head, and its massive horns once again blocked the Soul-Devouring Tiger King's attack.
The two Beast Kings went back and forth, fighting evenly, and for a while, neither could do anything to the other.
Tang Mo manipulated the Corrosive Poison Barrier to move toward the beast herd while casting the skill Poison Rain upon them.
The black rain fell silently into the jungle like a ghost.
The beast herd's attention had long been drawn by the battle between the Soul-Devouring Tiger King and the Great-Horned Bull King, and they did not notice at all that today's rain was any different from usual.
The rainwater seeped into the bodies of some fierce beasts through the corners of their mouths and eyes, and fierce beasts in the herd began to fall one after another.
The other Beast Kings only thought it was caused by the Soul-Devouring Tiger King's previous attack, so they all turned their spears toward the Tiger King and launched their attacks.
The Soul-Devouring Tiger King could originally cope with the entanglement with the Great-Horned Bull King, but when five or six Beast Kings attacked together, it instantly could not hold on and could only barely support itself.
By this time, Tang Mo had already manipulated the Corrosive Poison Barrier over.
As soon as they came into contact with the Corrosive Poison Barrier, the fierce beasts in the herd let out heart-wrenching wails.
【Killed Level 41 Great-Horned Bull, EXP + 6011, Poison Damage + 2, Stamina + 1, EXP + 0.1】
【Obtained Bronze-grade Horn Amulet, Spirit + 100, Active Skill: Bull Guardian, Equipping Requirement: Level 40.】
【Killed Level 47 Diamond Ape, EXP + 6841, Poison Damage + 2, Stamina + 1, EXP + 0.1】
【Obtained Ape Bone * 2】
...
Large numbers of fierce beasts fell within the Corrosive Poison Barrier, and those Beast Kings finally realized something was wrong, hurriedly signaling their remaining subordinates to stay away from the Poison Barrier.
This eerie Poison Barrier before them seemed to be even more troublesome than the Soul-Devouring Tiger King.
Several Beast Kings exchanged glances, then quickly formed a united front and began to launch attacks against the Corrosive Poison Barrier.
Seeing this, the Soul-Devouring Tiger King also dispelled the thought of escaping; the combined efforts of the several Beast Kings made it regain its confidence.
Having been chased for so long and even forced into its ultimate state, the Soul-Devouring Tiger King felt extremely aggrieved and was the first to launch another attack on the Poison Barrier.
"Soul Tiger Pounce!"
A soul tiger similar in size to itself roared out and charged straight toward the Poison Barrier.
"Moo~!"
The Great-Horned Bull King let out a sharp bellow, and then two dark red shockwaves shot out from its horns, firing toward the Poison Barrier.
Subsequently, the Diamond Ape King lifted a boulder the size of a small hill and threw it at the Poison Barrier.
The Gale Wolf King and the Four-Tailed Fox King also revealed their skills, launching a fierce assault on the Poison Barrier.
However, the Poison Barrier covered a huge area, and the Beast Kings' spells could not lock onto Tang Mo's position at all. Moreover, they didn't even know that there was a human eyeing them covetously inside this unknown thing.
Through the perception of the Corrosive Poison Barrier, Tang Mo easily dodged the Beast Kings' attacks.
The Great-Horned Bull King lowered its head, its front hooves pawing the ground incessantly, and then it charged directly into the Poison Barrier.
The Gale Wolf King, the Diamond Ape King, and the Four-Tailed Fox King on the side also joined the fray and rushed in.
The Soul-Devouring Tiger King on the side was stunned; it knew how powerful this thing in front of it was—its own underlings couldn't even survive for two seconds inside before dying.
Should it advance and retreat together with them?
While the Soul-Devouring Tiger King was still hesitating, the roars of the other Beast Kings had already come from within the Corrosive Poison Barrier.
It was pain, and even more so, anger.
The Soul-Devouring Tiger King stopped its steps, having wanted to go in with them. This thing was indeed powerful!
Inside the Corrosive Poison Barrier, as soon as the several Beast Kings entered, wounds were corroded onto the surface of their bodies.
The Poison Rain in the sky mixed with the Poison Barrier and began to invade their bodies, and the layers of poison quickly stacked up.
Under the enhancement of the Highly Toxic Domain, the Beast Kings' HP was dropping rapidly.
But they were, after all, awakened-bloodline fierce beasts, and the Beast Kings were all between level 50 and 60, with stamina values much higher than the Soul-Devouring Tiger King's.
The Great-Horned Bull King was the representative of a tank, with a stamina value as high as over 700,000.
Tang Mo's current poison damage had reached over 60,000 per second. Under the enhancement of the Highly Toxic Domain, the damage per second was around 180,000 to 190,000—of course, this was only in the case of one layer of poison.
Once the layers of poison increased, even that Great-Horned Bull King began to struggle to hold on.
At this time, those Beast Kings' underlings outside had almost all fallen, and even the Soul-Devouring Tiger King noticed that its own HP was dropping rapidly in a strange way.
No matter how hard these fierce beasts racked their brains, they would never understand that this rainwater, which seemed no different from usual, would cost them their lives.
The Soul-Devouring Tiger King observed its surroundings in terror, seeing that it hadn't even entered inside, so why was its HP starting to drop wildly?
Beastly instinct made it feel danger, and the Soul-Devouring Tiger King turned and ran wildly, regardless of everything else.
Inside the Poison Barrier, the several Beast Kings finally discovered Tang Mo's figure.
The several Beast Kings immediately understood that everything was caused by the human in front of them.
The Corrosive Poison Barrier had already corroded their fur away, but even so, the Beast Kings still endured the injuries on their bodies and launched attacks at Tang Mo.
Because time was too tight, he didn't have time to cast Probe to scout the Beast Kings' true strength. Tang Mo did not dare to take their skills head-on and could only rely on his flexible footwork to dodge the Beast Kings' attacks.
However, Tang Mo did not forget to counterattack; with a wave of his hand, dozens of Venomous Arrows shot toward the several Beast Kings.
Although its bull hide had been corroded away, the Great-Horned Bull King still did not dodge or evade. It was confident that even without its hide, these human skills could not harm it.
But soon it was severely slapped in the face by reality.
After evolving, the Venomous Arrows already possessed powerful piercing ability; the Great-Horned Bull King's body was easily pierced, leaving a row of bloody holes.
The Diamond Ape King and the Four-Tailed Fox King also could not escape the fate of being pierced, while the Gale Wolf King relied on its flexible speed to dodge Tang Mo's Piercing Poison Arrow.
