Chapter 918
Ferocious Monsters
But it was too late. The vampire beast was already engaged in a fierce battle with Yan Xiaojiu and the others. If the vampire beast were summoned back at this time, it would be very disadvantageous for it.
Master Xie could only stand aside anxiously watching the battle, praying in his heart that the vampire beast would win in the end.
After fighting the legendary vampire beast for several rounds, Yan Xiaojiu and his brothers discovered that the most dangerous part of the vampire beast was its mouthparts, and the other parts of its body did not pose much of a threat to them, who were highly skilled in martial arts.
Having understood this, Yan Xiaojiu and his brothers tried their best to avoid its mouthparts and launched powerful attacks on the sides and rear of the vampire beast's body. Because the vampire beast's combat power was astonishing, the dozens of brothers fought against it for a full half hour, and the brothers also exhausted a lot of their strength.
Although the vampire beast looked exhausted after the long battle, its fighting power showed no signs of diminishing.
The vampire beast, like a vicious wolf, continued its ferocious attack on Yan Shouyi and the others. After a long period of maneuvering, the giant mosquito had not yet sucked the blood of a single person and was indeed very hungry. Therefore, although its entire body was exhausted, its fighting power was even more intense, just like a vicious wolf.
However, this giant mosquito was also clever. Master Xie originally intended for it to deal with Yan Xiaojiu, but after such a long period of maneuvering, it still hadn't been able to get close to Yan Xiaojiu. It could clearly sense that Yan Xiaojiu was stronger than the others, and if it continued to focus on just him, it might starve to death.
So, the giant mosquito that had just been focused on Yan Xiaojiu suddenly turned around and pounced on one of the soldiers. This unexpected move caught everyone off guard.
The giant mosquito had already plunged its proboscis into the soldier's body, and soon the soldier was drained of his life essence by the giant mosquito and collapsed to the ground.
Seeing the bloodless soldiers fall to the ground, Yan Xiaojiu and his group felt even more furious towards the vampire beast. The exhausted soldiers grabbed their swords and slashed wildly at the vampire beast.
Having just sucked the blood essence, the giant mosquito was now even more energetic. Seeing the soldiers rushing towards it, the giant mosquito nimbly dodged while using its several extremely long legs to engage in a fierce battle with Yan Xiaojiu and his soldiers.
The battle between the two sides became even more intense this time. The giant mosquito, full of fighting power, had already sucked the blood of several soldiers dry. Although the giant mosquito had a good "harvest", Yan Xiaojiu and his group were not to be trifled with. In the short time they had gone, they had cut off the giant mosquito's two hind legs and wings.
The giant mosquito's movement was greatly restricted due to its injuries, which greatly benefited Yan Xiaojiu and his group. Its already weakened fighting power allowed them to strike while the iron was hot, quickly severing all of the mosquito's legs.
With only its body remaining, the giant mosquito moved extremely slowly and was no match for Yan Xiaojiu and her team. Through the combined efforts of the soldiers, they finally wiped it out. After such a long battle with the giant mosquito, Yan Xiaojiu and her soldiers, including Yan Xiaojiu, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Master Xie, who was watching from the sidelines, was in a different situation. He was heartbroken to see the vampire beasts he had painstakingly subdued being beaten to death by Yan Xiaojiu and the others. Although he had some skills and abilities, these vampire beasts were his greatest asset!
If all the vampire beasts are dead, how can I quickly find the next powerful beast to rely on?
The eagle he had previously tamed was one he had spent a long time and effort training. After the eagle died, he was able to quickly tame these vampire beasts by chance.
The reason why the time in between was so short was all due to coincidence. It's normal for it to happen once or twice, but there aren't that many coincidences. If all the vampire beasts he had subdued died this time, it would be difficult to find a powerful beast like the vampire beast to protect him in a short period of time.
Master Xie felt the situation was getting more and more serious. However, his team had already been wiped out by Yan Xiaojiu's group, and now he only had a dozen or so brothers from his stronghold left to protect him. It would be easy for Yan Xiaojiu's group to wipe him out.
Realizing the dire situation, Master Xie quickly directed the soldiers around him to protect him while running down the mountain towards the location of the giant mosquitoes, since the giant mosquitoes were his greatest asset.
In the critical moment, Master Xie issued a unique command to the several vampire beasts fighting Yan Shouyi and the others below. Upon hearing Master Xie's command, the giant mosquitoes understood that their master was summoning them, so they quickly broke away from the battle and began to climb upwards on their legs while flapping their wings, which sped up their pace.
In our real lives, mosquitoes can fly easily in the air. However, the giant mosquitoes in the bonsai world are magnified many times over. Although their wings have become larger, they are not enough to support their bulky bodies. Fluttering their wings can only increase their walking speed or allow them to glide a short distance, but they cannot fly easily in the air.
Only a few giant mosquitoes with injured legs moved more slowly, crawling upwards while continuing to fight against the pursuing team guarding the area.
Before long, Master Xie reunited with the several giant mosquitoes he had subdued. After reuniting with the giant mosquitoes, Master Xie's whole body was as if he were wearing very strong armor. Even when Yan Shouyi's team and Yan Xiaojiu's team attacked Master Xie from both sides, Master Xie was no longer as panicked as before, but instead felt much more at ease.
The two sides had been fighting for a long time. Yan Shouyi saw that Master Xie had very few soldiers left, with only a few giant mosquitoes protecting him.
It wasn't that Yan Shouyi underestimated these giant mosquitoes; on the contrary, he felt they were incredibly powerful, the most ferocious magical beasts he had ever seen. Now, Master Xie's soldiers were few in number, and Yan Shouyi worried that if Master Xie could subdue such ferocious beasts, he might have some hidden plans. If he left with these harmful bloodsucking beasts, many people would suffer! (End of Chapter)
