Chapter Nine, The Chicken Rib Monster
Meanwhile, the surrounding boulders innocently became targets for the evil eye, each suffering egg-sized craters. Although these creatures were unable to launch effective attacks, their firepower was still considerable, perhaps precisely because of this, they qualified as low-level magical beasts
Under the command of Yang Ling, two hundred horned bee beasts launched a probing attack, forming a triangular assault formation as they swooped in, attacking the sluggish evil eyes with the ferocity of fighter jets
What made Yang Ling even more at ease was that the evil eyes across from him either relied on their overwhelming numbers or suffered from a severe lack of intelligence. Some were desperately attacking, while others stood by and watched; in fact, many had even scattered to forage, picking up pieces of dark fire crystals to swallow.
As the angle bee beast launched its sharp attack, the evil eye leader hurriedly gathered firepower to retaliate. Unfortunately, due to its slow movements, it often lost sight of the target before even getting a chance to aim.
"Hehe, Sophia, to be honest, these ideas were all revealed to me by the goddess of nature!" After sending the hornet beast and the evil eye to the other space of the witch tower, Yang Ling mysteriously smiled and said, "Let’s go, my beautiful fairy, if we don’t hurry back, these tender Roland flowers will be dried out by the sun!"
After the numerous evil eyes combined to form a fiery net, their power was indeed extraordinary. Although the rays emitted remained chaotic and disordered, a few horned bee beasts were occasionally unfortunate enough to be struck by stray bullets
After smiling mysteriously, Yang Ling neither admitted nor denied it. The Witch Tower is the secret upon which he relies for survival, and he certainly does not wish for it to be known by everyone one day. At the same time, there are many aspects of the Witch Tower that remain unclear to him, making it difficult for him to explain even if he wanted to.
"Yang Ling, how did you come up with such a strange yet effective method?" Seeing Yang Ling drenched in sweat, Sophia instinctively took out her handkerchief, ready to help him wipe his forehead. But in the blink of an eye, she felt a bit embarrassed.
Under Sofia's explanation, Yang Ling quickly learned how to use this spatial ring; with just a thought, he could swiftly put things in or take them out.
After instructing Sophia to hide behind a large rock, Yang Ling advanced rather than retreating. While biting into the tip of his right index finger, he quickly charged towards the Evil Eye. At the same time, he commanded the entire army of Horned Wasps to mobilize. Under his command, the Horned Wasps attacked the non-vital areas of the Evil Eye, ensuring that they did not lose their lives while incapacitating their ability to move and attack.
Purchasing a large quantity of iron ore with numerous crystal cores is something that others find hard to imagine, yet Yang Ling shows no hesitation, appearing as if he is a wealthy noble who spends money like water; however, when busy, he can forgo meals entirely or casually eat some ordinary food to stave off hunger, displaying no trace of noble extravagance
Seeing Yang Ling call her "the beautiful fairy Sofia," her pretty face turned red. After casting a quick glance at Yang Ling with her sparkling big eyes, she hurriedly left. While feeling shy, there was also a hint of sweetness in her heart
As the book "Sophia, Be Careful!" depicted the abnormal behavior of the hornet beast, Yang Ling realized the situation was dire and quickly embraced the panicked Sophia; he carefully observed the surrounding movements, remaining steadfast in the face of uncertainty.
With astonishing speed, Yang Ling dodged the repeated attacks of the evil eye while holding Sofia. Soon, upon seeing the numerous craters densely packed on the giant rock, a thought struck him, and he came up with an idea
"Mental Magic?" After snatching the thick spellbook from Yang Ling's hands, Sophia was taken aback, "Yang Ling, the identity of this skeleton in its past life is definitely not simple!"
Under Yang Ling's command, merely two hundred horned beasts disrupted the attack formation of the Evil Eyes. It was only after the Evil Eye leader urgently concentrated the firepower of all the Evil Eyes that the situation began to improve
Watching the Evil Eyes being swiftly tamed by Yang Ling, Sophia was left dumbfounded. No matter how she thought about it, she could not have imagined such a terrifying summoning magic. Without expending any magical power and without reciting any incantations, just a single drop of blood summoned over two thousand Evil Eyes. Truly, it is worthy of the legendary ancient summoner
Introduction to Mental Magic, Lion Eagle Combat Qi, Research on Mithril Ore... Yang Ling casually pulled out a few volumes of thread-bound ancient books, each of which startled the elf Sophia.
After swirling around like a gust of wind, Yang Ling soon succeeded in taming the vast majority of the Evil Eyes; upon subsequent statistics, it was found that over 2,000 Evil Eyes had been tamed, a number comparable to that of the Hornet Beasts. As a cost, all of the more than 200 blood beads accumulated over these days were completely consumed.
The vast and the book's angle bee beast, along with the excellent training methods, easily summoned a large number of evil eyes, perfectly balancing their advantages and disadvantages in the blink of an eye. For Yang Ling, the more Sofia felt she understood, the more she realized how much she did not know
The ring was filled with various items, including a variety of minerals, several boxes full of crystal coins, and a large pile of books. For a moment, Yang Ling was dazzled by the sight.
Upon coming into contact with Yang Ling's blood, the evil eyes shone with a brilliant silver light, revealing mysterious runes that caused a transformation similar to that of the horned bee beast. At the same time, Yang Ling felt warm currents flowing into his body, and a multitude of chaotic memories flooded his mind
Watching Yang Ling, who was busy and sweating profusely, Sofia gradually shifted from surprise to admiration
Soon, with a rustling sound, a group of peculiar creatures emerged from behind the rubble. Their heads were as large as a basin, yet their bodies were only as thick as a water jug, with a long, slender tentacle on each side, and a single eye the size of a bowl on their foreheads
Yang Ling, is this... is this the ancient summoning magic?
So it is the Evil Eye! Leaning against Yang Ling, Sophia let out a slight sigh of relief. This is a low-level magical beast that lives in groups and can launch ray attacks. Although its speed is not fast, one must still be cautious!
After a brief rest, Yang Ling regained his composure and commanded the Evil Eye to arrange its troops. The firepower of the Evil Eye was not weak; although the interval between shots was too long, it was possible to achieve a certain degree of compensation by adopting corresponding measures
The peculiar summoning magic of www.hetushu.com possesses a vast number of magical beasts. Yang Ling appears to be a powerful ancient summoner from legend; however, he does not understand what magical elements are, does not comprehend what a spatial ring is, and even seems unaware of the preciousness of magical beast crystal cores
Yang Ling worked tirelessly, dripping a drop of fresh blood onto each injured Evil Eye. Taking advantage of Sofia's inattention, he occasionally pulled out a blood bead condensed from the essence of magical beasts from his bosom and swallowed it, quickly replenishing the essence and magical power consumed in taming the Evil Eyes
Soon, Yang Ling understood what it meant to be slow in action. The malevolent eyes across from him remained silent as they launched attacks, shooting out light projectiles the size of chopsticks, which left craters on the stone wall upon impact. Although the power was considerable, the speed and accuracy were truly lacking; each shot required half a day's energy to accumulate, and both of them easily dodged every attack.
Despite the many uncertainties, Sofia found herself preferring to be with Yang Ling out of curiosity. With Yang Ling, her life was filled with sunshine and laughter; seeing the carefree Yang Ling often made her heart inexplicably race.
Recalling the ancient flintlock guns of the 18th century, Yang Ling thought of the famous three-line infantry formation of Napoleon in France. The command was to arrange the soldiers into three lines: the front line lay prone on the ground, the second line crouched, and the third line stood upright, with the three lines firing in rotation. This way, a continuous barrage of firepower could be formed, and with the terrifying numbers of the soldiers, the attacking power was instantly incomparable.
Diving down like a bullet, the black horn of the horned beast pierced through the eye of the evil eye, followed closely by the glinting fangs that viciously tore at it, creating a deep hole visible to the bone in the vital areas such as the eye or forehead of the evil eye. The attacked evil eye let out a loud scream, often struggling a few times before collapsing weakly.
Under the command of Yangling, the horned bee beasts fully utilized their high-speed mobility, retreating after a single battle. At times, they scattered to easily evade the light attacks from the Evil Eye; at other times, they formed teams to collectively assault the bewildered Evil Eye, dispersing and regrouping. Their combat power far exceeded that of ordinary wild horned bee beasts, leaving Sophia astonished.
Through the memory of the evil eye, Yang Ling learned that deep within the valley there are many unfathomable caves, which hide countless monsters. It is said that a dungeon is sealed underground, where monsters roam freely. Currently, his witchcraft power is nearly depleted, leaving him with the desire but lacking the strength, so he can only wait for a suitable opportunity to explore again
Sofia was taken aback, but Yang Ling remained unfazed. Just as he was about to take a closer look at the items inside the ring, suddenly, the leading horned bee beast let out a loud howl and charged forward with a swarm of horned bee beasts like a gust of wind
What of it being not simple? One comes into this world with nothing and leaves with nothing; after death, one still turns into a pile of yellow earth!
Even after consuming a large amount of blood beads for nourishment, Yang Ling still appeared pale and was nearly exhausted from continuously dripping blood to tame so many Evil Eyes. Fortunately, after taking the Life Spring Water, his shamanic power significantly increased, and the Evil Eyes had been injured by the Hornet Beast, allowing him to tame them without expending too much shamanic power; otherwise, he would have likely collapsed long ago.
