Chapter 797 - Encountering the Divine Guardian Squad
Ao Niu mooed loudly as it advanced at an increased speed, and the red floating content drew closer and closer.
An Lin could finally discern what the buildings looked like. All of them consisted of a crimson pillar with a crimson semi-sphere on top, appearing a lot like mushrooms.
At the very center of the floating continent, there was a huge mushroom that gave off a dazzling red light.
The rays of light and the floating continent blended seamlessly together, making it appear as if it was a red star in the distance.
“Look, An Lin, there are life forms there!” Xu Xiaolan pointed to five shadowy figures under the floating continent.
An Lin detected their auras to find that they were pretty powerful.
At the very least, they were more powerful than Ao Niu.
It looked like they weren’t the only ones interested in the blood star. There were also powerful beings from the beast tribes that would come here to explore.
Those five black spots in the far distance seemed to have seen An Lin’s group as well, and they charged toward them at a speed even faster than Ao Niu’s.
An Lin managed to catch a clear glimpse of them this time. The five figures were, respectively, a frog enshrouded in black, poisonous mist; a black, rocky lizard dragon; a monster that looked like a giant, squirming rice ball; a giraffe-neck tiger with golden flames all over its body, and a huge dog covered in sharp, blue spikes.
“None of them can be ridden,” Xu Xiaolan complained.
Ao Niu’s heart constricted upon hearing this.
However, it also managed to see what the five figures looked like, and its expression shifted drastically as it fled in the opposite direction!
An Lin and Xu Xiaolan were dumbstruck.
“Where are you going?” An Lin inquired with displeasure.
“That is the Divine Guardian Squad under the command of the Divine Bat Emperor! All of them are among the most powerful Soul Formation Stage beings within the beast tribes! Nothing good is going to happen if we get caught by them here!” Ao Niu elaborated in a panicked voice as it ran.
An Lin abruptly tugged on Ao Niu’s horns, and the whole cow almost capsized.
“Moo…!” Ao Niu mooed loudly as its momentum was stopped cold.
“They’re the most powerful Soul Formation Stage beasts? Are they more powerful than me?” An Lin asked.
Ao Niu: “…”
After failing to escape, Ao Niu trembled uncontrollably as it stared at those five beasts converging toward them. It could even see the excited, yet malicious smiles on their faces.
Soon, the Divine Guardian Squad appeared before An Lin’s group.
The giant dog with blue spikes all over its body spoke in an extremely sharp voice, “Woof woof! You were right to not run away. Otherwise, you would have to bear the wrath of the emperor!”
“Ribbit! If you cooperate with us in our experiments, we can spare your life,” the frog enshrouded in poisonous mist said with a smug expression.
The giraffe-neck lion narrowed its eyes at An Lin and Xu Xiaolan before speaking in a cold voice, “Oh? Those two are humans? I had thought that they would be minotaurs or centaurs.”
“Haha, humans managed to make it into this place? Great! We can eat them after the experiment! I haven’t had Soul Formation Stage human flesh for a long time!” The black lizard dragon flapped its wings joyfully, but it didn’t dare to flap them too hard in case it flew into the air.
At this moment, the huge rice-ball monster came to the forefront of their group. “Stop wasting time. It’s just two pieces of Soul Formation Intermediate Stage trash. Complete the mission first and do whatever you like to them afterward.”
The other four beasts immediately ceased bickering as the poison mist frog and the black lizard dragon walked forward. It was clear that only two of them were going to attack.
To them, two beasts were more than enough to take care of two humans at Soul Formation Intermediate Stage and one cow at the Soul Formation Pinnacle Stage!
The frog offered some words of caution, “Ribbit! Be careful of that cow.”
A sinister grin appeared on the lizard dragon’s face. “Hehe, it looks like they’re paralyzed from fear. They didn’t even run after seeing us.”
“Ribbit! I’ll capture those two humans, then I’ll come and help you!” the frog said.
“Hey… You said something about an experiment; what kind of experiment is this?” An Lin asked with a curious expression.
“Weak trash doesn’t have the right to ask questions! You’re all going to be my food anyway! Ribbit!” the frog yelled before jumping toward An Lin and Xu Xiaolan.
The black lizard dragon also flew toward Ao Niu.
The auras of these two beasts instantly exploded forth, sending gale-force winds sweeping forth in all directions. They were indeed the most powerful among all the Soul Formation Stage beasts An Lin had ever seen.
The poison mist frog pounced toward An Lin at an alarming speed, and its tongue shot forth like a bolt of black lightning in an attempt to wrap around An Lin’s body.
An Lin’s eyes turned snowy white as Wings of Wind spread on his back and streams of white wind revolved around his Evil-Slaying Sword.
Divine Inspection Technique, Wings of Wind, Wind Spirit Technique!
All three spell techniques were unleashed at once.
The poison mist frog’s tongue swept toward An Lin at a terrifying speed, only to find that An Lin had completely disappeared.
“Ribbit?” The frog suddenly felt like its tongue was a little bit cold.
Splat!
Blood splattered through the air, and its long tongue was severed as it let loose an anguished wail!
Not only that, but the poison mist around its body was also parted by a golden light.
A massive golden fist imbued with the power of the earth crashed down onto its body like a mountain!
Boom!
The frog was bashed into the ground and its organs were shattered as the ground within a radius of over a kilometer caved in to create a massive crater.
At the same time, the black lizard dragon flying toward Ao Niu was greeted by the sight of two blue lightning sword projections flying toward it at an unavoidable speed.
Its huge dragon wings were then sliced off.
The lizard dragon was reduced to a lizard, and it stared in shock and horror at the woman in the jade dress descending upon it. In the next instant, the Dragon Sparrow Sword flashing with scorching flames and explosive lightning hung over its head.
“Gasp…” All the beasts present stared at the scenes unfolding before their eyes with dumbstruck expressions.
Even though Ao Niu was mentally prepared, its eyes were still wide with shock.
It knew An Lin and Xu Xiaolan were extremely powerful, but it was still a massive shock that they were able to insta-kill two members of the Divine Guardian Squad.
“The-these are Soul Formation Intermediate Stage humans?” The giraffe-necked lion was shocked.
“Such terrifying power… I don’t think even the Gluten Lord can…” The huge dog turned to look at the rice-ball monster with astonishment in its eyes.
The rice-ball monster didn’t say anything. However, its yellow eyes were fixed firmly on An Lin.
An Lin stepped down on the frog, which was on the brink of death. “You’re right. Weak trash does not have the right to ask questions. So can I ask them now?”
“F*ck you! Give me a quick death if you’re gonna kill me! If I speak another word, then I’m your grandson! Ribbit!” the frog roared with rage.
“You’ve got guts.” An Lin raised his Evil-Slaying Sword.
“Grandpa!” The frog instantly yielded.
An Lin: “…”
Xu Xiaolan: “…”
All the beasts: “…”
