As long as it was struck by the Sect Leader Ball and met the capture conditions, it would definitely directly sign a contract with the user and become a contracted beast.
Simple and convenient!
If martial artists of the Xingyun Continent wanted to subdue even the lowest-level fierce beast, they had to go through tedious procedures—at fastest several hours, at slowest several days.
Reiterating once again.
I, Jun Changxiao, am not cheating!
The Purple Lightning Young Tiger was much more magnificent than the Scarlet Flame Wolf King.
After the successful capture, Sect Leader Jun immediately began fantasizing about riding the tiger galloping across boundless grasslands while singing “You are the wind, I am the sand.”
“Roar—”
An angry roar pulled Jun Changxiao back to reality.
He looked up in shock to see a massive creature gradually piling itself up.
“Whoosh! Whoosh!”
Stones scattered all around suddenly flew up, circling the gradually rising big fellow and gradually merging into it.
Finally, a fierce beast over twenty meters tall, entirely constructed of stone, appeared before Jun Changxiao, forcing him to crane his neck to look up.
The previous Fire Dragon Beast would be a whole head shorter standing before this guy!
The stone fierce beast had human-like features, with a head also piled from stones, revealing two lights resembling eyes.
The corner of Jun Changxiao’s mouth twitched: “Is this a fierce beast or a monster!”
It wasn’t a monster, just a beast.
And a rather rare stone-element fierce beast at that, named Stone Man, with strength at High Fifth Rank.
Don’t let the trashy name fool you—its combat power was solid.
Even the Fire Dragon Beast didn’t dare provoke it, because it simply couldn’t win!
“Roar!”
After the Stone Man appeared, it opened its large mouth formed of stone and once again emitted a roar resembling that of a fierce beast.
Deafening to the ears, shocking to the spirit!
Jun Changxiao furrowed his brow: “Little tiger, quickly get in…”
His voice cut off abruptly.
Because the Purple Lightning Young Tiger had already disappeared, and the taiji pattern on the Sect Leader Ball dimmed.
Damn it!
This little guy sure ran fast!
“Swish!”
Jun Changxiao grabbed the Sect Leader Ball and turned to flee outside.
From the heavy aura emanating from the big fellow, he had already determined that it was definitely no weaker than the Fire Dragon Beast!
Not just not weaker—even stronger!
Stone-element and lightning-element were both quite rare attributes on the Xingyun Continent, far superior to fire-element, earth-element, and the like.
Take this Stone Man for example.
With its entire body constructed of stone, if it punched your chest with its little fists, you’d definitely be instantly pounded into a puddle of meat paste.
Stone-element not only had strong attack power but also strong defense power—absolutely balanced in offense and defense!
The Fire Dragon Beast’s flames couldn’t do anything to the Stone Man and would definitely be beaten to a pulp, beaten until it questioned its existence.
With Jun Changxiao’s current strength, he definitely couldn’t defeat this kind of existence either, so fleeing was the wisest choice!
“Rumble rumble!”
However, just as he started running, the stone walls on both sides ahead suddenly trembled violently, then rapidly closed together, sealing off the exit!
“Damn it!”
Jun Changxiao’s mental circuits were extremely sharp. The instant the exit was sealed, he took long strides and ran up the stone wall.
“Rumble rumble!”
The closing stone walls continuously rose, in the blink of an eye protruding twenty to thirty meters!
Although Jun Changxiao had Ghost Shadow Steps and could leap five or six meters without problem, he ultimately couldn’t fly. After climbing more than ten meters, with no footholds left, he couldn’t go any higher!
What was deadly was this.
The originally uneven stone wall suddenly became smooth!
Sect Leader Jun’s feet slipped, instantly turning him into a skateboard boy, sliding down from above and sliding right to the Stone Man’s feet.
The air suddenly solidified.
Pulling the view to a distance, Jun Changxiao stood at the Stone Man’s feet.
Actually, his height of five feet nine wasn’t too bad—he could reach the guy’s ankle area, so he didn’t look too short.
“Hehe.”
Jun Changxiao raised his head with a dry smile: “Brother Stone, our meeting is fate.”
After withdrawing the energy controlling the stone wall’s changes, the Stone Man directly lifted its big foot, then carrying the power of “fate,” viciously stomped down.
“Whoosh whoosh!”
Wild wind howled, emanating a heavy aura!
This stomp was infused with strength absolutely exceeding 600,000 catties, scaring Sect Leader Jun into darting away with Ghost Shadow Steps.
“Boom!”
The big foot landed—the earth shook and mountains trembled!
“Huff huff!”
Having dodged, Jun Changxiao’s breathing was rapid, cold sweat seeping from his forehead and back, thinking to himself: “This big guy is too strong!”
“Whoosh—”
Just at this moment, the Stone Man turned around and swung its little fist sweeping over viciously, its power as always tremendously forceful!
Each strike was like wielding a small mountain in attack—it would be strange if the power wasn’t explosive.
Swish! Swish!
Jun Changxiao didn’t dare fight it head-on. Using Ghost Shadow Steps, he circled to the other side: “Brother Stone, our meeting is fate—why don’t we sit down and talk about life and ideals!”
“Whoosh!”
The fist carrying the power of life and ideals swept over viciously again, forcing him to continue fleeing.
The Stone Man’s advantage was balanced offense and defense, even able to manipulate surrounding stones to seal the exit, but its weakness was also obvious—slow speed!
Jun Changxiao didn’t dare fight head-on, but relying on Ghost Shadow Steps, he could still narrowly avoid danger.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The Stone Man continuously raised its fists to strike, while Sect Leader Jun transformed into an agile monkey, constantly darting around the gourd-shaped passage.
…
“The sect leader must be under attack inside!”
At the tunnel entrance outside, feeling the tremors coming from the ground, Li Qingyang and the others furrowed their brows tightly.
Ye Xingchen looked at the stone wall protruding dozens of meters out of nowhere and speculated: “Inside there should be an extremely powerful stone-element fierce beast that manipulated the mountain stones to seal the interior.”
“What?”
Li Qingyang and Xiao Zuoji’s faces changed drastically.
Stone-element fierce beasts were rare species—with the sect leader trapped inside, there would definitely be danger.
“Junior Brother Su!”
Li Qingyang pointed upward: “Can you climb up!”
“I’ll try!”
Su Xiaomo retreated dozens of meters, then executed Ghost Shadow Steps in a hundred-meter sprint, but when he reached the area with no footholds, he couldn’t go up.
At least he was clever. When his body was about to fall down, he brought out the Cold Edge Sword and fiercely stabbed toward the stone wall.
“Clang!”
The stone was incredibly tough—the sword was bounced out.
Holy crap!
This hard?
“Aiya! Aiya!”
Su Xiaomo had no time to think more. His entire person immediately slid staggeringly down against the stone wall.
…
Boom! Boom!
In the sealed gourd-shaped passage, Jun Changxiao was still exhaustingly fleeing, his facial expression absolutely spectacular.
Although relying on speed he could narrowly avoid danger, if you constantly walk by the river, how can your shoes not get wet? If he was accidentally struck, there would definitely be danger!
“Big guy!”
After dodging another strike of several hundred thousand catties, Jun Changxiao steadied himself and said angrily: “Don’t refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!”
“Whoosh!”
The heavy big foot boomed down, forcing him to explosively retreat backward.
“Ding! Side quest triggered!”
What?
You’re giving me a quest at this time!
Having dodged the big foot’s attack, Jun Changxiao hurriedly pulled up the data panel. On the side quest appeared four words: “Timed Mission.”
Timed mission?
This was the first time seeing this.
Could it be asking me to complete an objective within a certain time limit?
Jun Changxiao clicked on the timed mission, which displayed a more detailed explanation. The content read—Please persist for 5 hours in the sealed valley [Countdown: 4 hours 59 minutes 58 seconds].
Damn it.
This mission is a total scam!
