142: Chapter 142 This is the Rumbling Earth

Facing a six-star Pet Beast, Zhao Linchuan felt uncertain.

Out of a sense of responsibility as adult Beast Tamers and members of a professional Beast Taming Group, neither Zhao Linchuan nor Wang Long would allow Yue Yun to come to harm, even though Zhao Linchuan had known Yue Yun for less than ten minutes.

"Such a powerful enemy, it truly is exciting!"

Zhao Linchuan stared wide-eyed, slowly clenching his fists.

The Dark Gold Battle Bear sensed Zhao Linchuan's emotions; the molten golden flames of Battle Intent in its right eye burned fiercely, its tall form swayed slightly, and a muffled sound like a thunderclap rumbled from within its body.

Its talent, [Wound Pact], was activated, shrouding its body in a dark red, ferocious light and emitting a surging, powerful Battle Intent.

The aura of the Dark Gold Battle Bear surged suddenly; like a torch lit in the dead of night, it could not be ignored, instantly capturing the attention of the Earth Vein Giant Dragon.

The Dark Gold Battle Bear stood tall, fearlessly meeting the gaze of the Earth Vein Giant Dragon with eyes that flickered with different expressions, causing a hint of solemnity to flash in the creature's cyan-gray Dragon pupils.

Battle Scars were branded deep into the Soul of the Dark Gold Battle Bear, transformed from the wounds it had endured; each scar would slightly increase the Dark Gold Battle Bear's attack power and defense.

When the Dark Gold Battle Bear actively tore open its Battle Scars during combat, it would instantly enter the "War Embers" state, significantly boosting all its attributes to settle all scores.

Now, it was time!

The Dark Gold Battle Bear instantly destroyed its accumulated Battle Scars; the molten golden flames of Battle Intent in its right eye continued to burn fiercely, while the steady chill in its left eye suddenly vanished, replaced by the madness of settling the sins of war.

"Roar!"

The Dark Gold Battle Bear roared in anger, gripping its dark, heavy giant axe with both hands, and charged toward the Earth Vein Giant Dragon with a stride like a war drum.

The crackling sound of electric arcs exploded continuously.

The cyan-white light blades of the Wind-Thunder Tiger continuously spewed lightning; originally a physical entity, it transformed into an elemental form amidst the surging wind and thunder, shooting out like a cyan-white arrow skimming the ground.

Swoosh!

Just as the Earth Vein Giant Dragon was about to move, an energy beam that had been gathering power for a long time pierced through the air, hitting it and causing its body to freeze for a moment.

The elemental form of the Wind-Thunder Tiger arrived before it, moving at high speed across the body of the Earth Vein Giant Dragon with momentum that was difficult to track, while simultaneously attacking it incessantly.

To the Earth Vein Giant Dragon, these attacks didn't even count as scratching an itch, yet this outrageous speed was truly hateful.

It did not notice that although the Wind-Thunder Tiger's harmless attacks could not produce any effect, they were leaving behind streaks of lightning.

The Dark Gold Battle Bear seized the opportunity to close in, dark red blood-light gathering in its dark, heavy giant axe, and with a mighty swing, it brought the axe down toward the Earth Vein Giant Dragon.

The dark red blood-light seemed to surge with infinite power.

The Earth Vein Giant Dragon immediately felt the threat; the crystallized scales on its body bloomed with light, constructing a huge Crystal Rock Wall in front of it, solidly blocking the attack of the Dark Gold Battle Bear.

Skill: Crystal Rock Wall!

The Earth Vein Giant Dragon's cyan-gray Dragon pupils were now locked firmly onto the Dark Gold Battle Bear, anger and wariness intertwined in their depths.

It raised its massive Dragon claw, clenching it into a fist, and the surging, majestic rock elements transformed into a Dragon-shaped phantom, emitting an aura of destruction, like a mountain crashing forward.

Skill: Crushing Mountain Dragon Fist!

This punch was delivered straight toward the Dark Gold Battle Bear, its terrifying might capable of easily snapping large trees with the wind it whipped up.

The thick fur of the Dark Gold Battle Bear was blown back, but there was no fear in its eyes, which were a mix of anger and Battle Intent; it used its bracers and the dark, heavy giant axe to block in front of it, where dark red blood-light wove together to form a shield.

Boom!

A dull collision sound rang out.

The tall form of the Dark Gold Battle Bear stood within the semi-circular shield woven from dark red blood-light, while the ground beneath its feet cracked in a spiderweb pattern.

Standing in the half-meter collapsed, shattered earth, the Dark Gold Battle Bear let out an angry low growl, hot air puffing from its nostrils.

The semi-circular shield that had withstood the Crushing Mountain Dragon Fist contracted, injecting the energy transferred from the Crushing Mountain Dragon Fist into the dark, heavy giant axe, causing the entire axe to be stained with dark red blood-light like fresh blood.

Skill: Vengeful Parry!

Carrying a portion of the Crushing Mountain Dragon Fist's energy, the intense aura of the Dark Gold Battle Bear suddenly surged, and a terrifying Killing Intent filled the air.

Skill: Rending Slash!

The accumulated Killing Intent was poured into the dark, heavy giant axe, its knotted muscles bulging instantly, and with a mighty swing of the axe, it unleashed a powerful slash carrying a vast amount of dark red blood-light.

With the two combined, the damage increased abruptly.

The Crystal Rock Wall constructed by the Earth Vein Giant Dragon was torn apart as if it were rotten wood, and the powerful slash reached the eyes of the Earth Vein Giant Dragon, landing precisely on its chest.

The already shattered chest armor suffered another heavy blow, and unable to bear the load, it burst open, with blood and fragments of scales splashing out simultaneously, tracing graceful arcs in the air.

Following closely behind was a powerful seismic wave.

With a loud boom, the powerful seismic wave completely destroyed the surrounding environment; rocks and trees were all reduced to debris, leaving only the ruined earth and the Dark Gold Battle Bear facing the seismic wave head-on.

The body of the Dark Gold Battle Bear suffered under the pressure, scarlet, scalding hot beast blood flowing from its mouth and nose, while its legs and the dark, heavy giant axe were embedded into the earth, leaving clear trenches behind.

"Roar!"

The Dark Gold Battle Bear immediately let out a roar.

It swung its dark, heavy giant axe with itself as the center, launching a devastating whirlwind of death, sweeping across all enemies in a large area around it with lethal force.

The Earth Vein Giant Dragon blocked in front of itself with its thick, sturdy Dragon claws, and the uneven axe blade slashed straight onto the Dragon claw, embedding deeply into the flesh.

"Awoo!"

The Earth Vein Giant Dragon wailed in pain, followed immediately by another seismic wave of considerable power, which finally knocked the Dark Gold Battle Bear back.

Having caused consecutive damage to the Earth Vein Giant Dragon, Zhao Linchuan's expression was not as happy as one might imagine; it remained extremely serious.

"The Earth Vein Giant Dragon has been completely enraged; be careful!"

Besides the Gravity Domain, there were the three skills already seen: Rock Spike, Crystal Rock Wall, and Crushing Mountain Dragon Fist.

The Earth Vein Giant Dragon should still have at least two more skills.

Given the six-star strength of the Earth Vein Giant Dragon, even if the remaining two unknown skills were of average power, they could easily defeat the injured Dark Gold Battle Bear.

"We must be on guard!"

Zhao Linchuan sighed in a low voice.

At this moment, Wang Long revealed a faint smile and patted Zhao Linchuan on the shoulder: "Recall your Dark Gold Battle Bear!"

Zhao Linchuan was stunned at first, then nodded.

The injured Dark Gold Battle Bear retreated rapidly, and before the Earth Vein Giant Dragon could pursue, the lightning streaks covering its body detonated in an instant, the terrifying power of thunder suddenly tearing apart its thick scales.

The massive body of the Earth Vein Giant Dragon swayed precariously.

The earth let out a low-frequency hum, as if venting the Earth Vein Giant Dragon's anger and dissatisfaction, detonating a seismic wave like an enraged Dragon.

Bang!

An immeasurable force was released, instantly tearing the shattered earth apart once more; the intact ground was thrust upward by surging rock elements, and in an instant, dust filled the air.

Xu Qingfang and Mo Yu, who were following Chu Handeng to retreat, turned back abruptly; upon seeing the scene before him, Mo Yu was instantly dumbfounded.

"Is this Earth Rumble?"

His tone was filled with awe, and his legs went weak.

He had thought that Earth Rumble's counterattack was inferior to Earth Scale, but he hadn't expected it to be a destruction of everything around it with itself as the center, even capable of altering the terrain.
