Chapter 22
: Subduing Jiang Yuyao, a Genius of the First Rank!
"Splash!"
The ferocious water dragon slowly dissipated.
It left behind a mess.
The once tall and upright withered tree warriors were all torn to pieces, and the bloodthorn vines were broken into countless pieces. Looking around, only the steel tree guards stood alone in place.
It didn't die.
The Xuanjia Shield Turtle is not an offensive pet. It can easily kill ordinary monsters, but it is still a little short of killing it with nearly 20,000 HP, even though it had already dealt several thousand damage in the previous attack.
However, as the saying goes, some trees may still be alive, but they are actually dead.
The once majestic and sturdy branches of the Steel Tree Guardian have been torn to shreds by the water hose, leaving it now completely bare, with only a broken trunk remaining.
"Oh dear, we weren't wiped out completely, Ironclad, your damage was a bit lacking."
From behind, Su Lin spoke with a smile.
If it were a Lava Blood Python, upon hearing these words, it would be filled with shame and indignation, and would activate a frenzied battle mode.
The Xuanjia Shield Turtle simply shook its head, pretending not to hear.
It could pretend it didn't hear, but Jiang Yuyao and the others couldn't.
Su Lin's words completely broke their defenses!
"This damage...is still a bit lacking? Then what am I? Useless?"
Zhang Long muttered to himself, so shocked that he no longer knew what the world was like.
Jiang Yuyao bit her lower lip, gripped her staff tightly, and didn't know what to say.
Wang Hai silently hugged his shield. "So be it," he thought. "I'm a shield warrior, I'm not good at this anyway."
The one who suffered the most was naturally Jiang Feng.
"What the hell..."
He gripped his staff tightly, his face flushed, wishing he could disappear into a crack in the ground!
As an S-rank fire mage, his greatest pride is naturally his ferocious damage output.
But now, his strongest area of expertise has been completely overwhelmed by a defensive beast pet?
The shame, frustration, and sorrow he felt drove him to the brink of madness!
"Beautiful Jiang, what are you all standing there for?"
Just then, Su Lin turned his head and glanced at the group:
"Can't you see the elite monster is still alive? Are you really planning to make me solo it all by myself without offering any help?"
"ah?!"
Jiang Yuyao and the others then realized what had happened, and their faces showed shame.
Heaven have mercy, it's not that we don't want to help, we're just too terrified!
"Stop standing there like idiots, let's kill the monster first."
Coming to her senses, Jiang Yuyao gave a sharp shout and led the way forward.
Zhang Long and Wang Hai quickly followed.
Jiang Feng was left alone, unsure whether to go up or not, and stood there awkwardly, holding his staff.
However, nobody was paying attention to him at the moment.
"Bang bang bang!"
As Jiang Yuyao and her two companions unleashed their attacks on the Steel Tree Guardian.
An indescribable shock and embarrassment once again filled their faces!
"Holy crap! How can its defense be so high!"
"Why did I inflict so little damage on it?"
When Zhang Long's sword fell, it could only leave a deep wound on the Steel Tree Guardian!
The damage dealt was a paltry little over a hundred!
This made him break out in a cold sweat. He had just seen the Xuanjia Shield Turtle almost kill him with a single skill, and he had thought that this elite monster had high health and low defense.
But now it seems that the Xuanjia Shield Turtle's damage is simply too high!
In an instant, the shock in the three people's hearts intensified.
At the same time, they were even more surprised and doubtful. How could a C-rank beast pet be so terrifyingly strong?
Is it really of order C?
But if not, how did Su Lin, an E-rank Beast Tamer, manage to successfully form a contract?!
mysterious!
Incredibly mysterious!
At that moment, almost simultaneously, the image of the mysterious beast tamer who killed the wild boar king three days ago popped into their minds.
Could he really be Su Lin?
But that doesn't make sense either.
Most importantly, that person's pet is clearly a fire-type creature, while the Xuanjia Shield Turtle is a completely different water-type creature!
As for whether Su Lin has two such powerful beast pets...
impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
Such a mysterious, strange, and heaven-defying beast pet is something ordinary people would never see in their entire lives. Even if Su Lin had City Lord Lin standing behind him, it would be impossible for him to get a second one!
"Aww!"
The steel tree guard was already at its last gasp, and under the combined attack of Jiang Yuyao and the other two, it quickly died on the spot.
"As expected of an elite monster, one of them is equivalent to ten regular monsters. I've only just leveled up to level 11, and my experience bar is almost full again!"
Su Lin nodded in satisfaction.
Beside them, Jiang Yuyao and the other two looked somewhat bewildered.
A level 22 elite monster and twelve smaller monsters were wiped out just like that?
From beginning to end, they did almost nothing, except for shooting at targets for a few minutes at the end.
Is it really that simple?
of course not!
Honestly, if it were them facing these monsters, it would be a tough battle, and there would likely be casualties!
I can be so relaxed now, all because of one person.
Su Lin!
"Su, I apologize for our previous attitude. I admit that your pet is indeed stronger than mine."
Jiang Yuyao walked over with a complicated expression and solemnly bowed to Su Lin.
The strong will always earn the respect of others.
The performance of the Xuanjia Shield Turtle just now has completely impressed Jiang Yuyao, the proud daughter of the SS-rank profession!
"Brother Su, I'm impressed, truly impressed. Your beast pet is awesome!"
Wang Hai also walked over and bowed solemnly.
"We were blind to your greatness. As expected of Lord Lin's adopted son and General Su's descendant, you are truly remarkable!"
Zhang Long also walked over awkwardly and bowed in apology without hesitation.
The three of them were so direct that they caught Su Lin completely off guard.
He's the kind of person who responds better to gentleness than force. He'll treat people with the utmost respect. He was initially annoyed and wanted to vent, but he didn't expect them to back down so quickly.
Oh well, I'm not a petty person anyway.
He waved his hand.
Su Lin smiled:
"Alright, you didn't do anything to me before, so there's no need to apologize. Besides, I didn't mean anything by it; I was just proving I wasn't bragging. So, do you believe me now?"
"..."
The three looked embarrassed.
The "bragging" Su Lin mentioned clearly referred to the fact that all of them combined were no match for the Xuanjia Shield Turtle.
They were genuinely unconvinced before, even thinking Su Lin was taking advantage of them and going too far, but now it seems...
"I'm not bragging, your pet beast is simply amazing."
Embarrassing as it was, Wang Hai still gave a thumbs up.
"It's impressive, but..."
Zhang Long hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't help but say:
"Brother Su, if I may ask, what's the situation with your pet? I remember it being a C-rank Xuan Shui Shield Turtle, it shouldn't be that terrifying, right?"
"Regarding this question..."
Su Lin had no intention of hiding anything:
"All I can say is that it is indeed a Mystic Water Shield Turtle. As for why it's so strong... it's probably because its bloodline is relatively pure and perfect, right?"
"Pure bloodline?"
Zhang Long was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized:
"That's for sure! I knew the first time I saw your pet, I knew it was different from ordinary shield turtles!"
"Look at this tortoise shell, so shiny and glossy! These legs, so strong and powerful! This tail, so short and sturdy! This tortoise... cough cough, in short, it's a truly magnificent tortoise!"
