Chapter 57 - The Overlord of the Skies, Nicholas · Xiao Jiu!

Frost mammoths, Supreme third-class fierce beasts.

They weren’t of a high class, even two classes lower than the thunder colossus from before, which meant that they were much weaker in all six dimensions.

That being said, their combat strength was about two stars higher than the thunder colossus, reaching seven-stars level two.

“These beasts that live in groups can totally beat up the thunder colossus, right?” Wang Ye looked at the group of frost mammoths lying on the ground with their backs to each other.

Their five-meter-tall bodies made them look like monsters on land. Even if Ultraman appeared, he would probably be beaten to death by them in a group fight.

That was because the beasts that lived in groups most probably had unique group skills.

Group skills were different from normal skills. They were skills that had greater power and stronger effects the more numbers there were in the group.

“The frost mammoths’ group skill should be War Roar, right? When they discover an enemy, they release a roar that only the frost mammoths can understand, and the various statuses of these guys will increase as if they have been injected with stimulants. Not only that, the effects of the group skill can be stacked. The effect of a single frost mammoth’s War Roar is very weak, but if a group of frost mammoths were to stack their War Roars together, even a level 3 pet would have to kneel. The crimson flame phoenix is unreasonable. Is the third stage already so difficult?” Wang Ye pondered.

The frost mammoths had rough skin and thick flesh. They were slightly inferior to the thunder colossus, but their agility was not weak. If they ran, their speed was quite fast.

With Xiao Jiu’s small body, if it wasn’t wearing the Feather Coat and was hit, it would probably be a goner.

If they tried to force their way through, with Xiao Jiu’s strength, the risks were there, but they could manage.

“We have to first restrain them and kill them in one strike,” Wang Ye pondered for a few seconds and took out the white python from the spatial sphere, “Come, little one. It’s time for you to make your move.”

“Huji?” The white python shrank back.

“Do you see those big guys in front? They are resting now,” Wang Ye said, “First, spit out some Shadowless Lines on the ground in front of you in a crisscross pattern, forming a circle of traps.”

The white python had been doing simulations for the past few months too.

Although it had only done it a few times, it improved greatly every time, especially so for Shadowless Line.

As a noble space-type skill, even though it was only a beginner skill, its effects were very strong.

[Shadowless Line (proficient): A beginner space-type skill. Creates shadowless lines that can cut through space. It can cut the opponent without being noticed, and can also silently control the enemy.]

Unique space-type skills like this were very difficult to train.

The white python had only run a handful of simulations and had at most a few months of practice, so its skill was only in the Proficient realm. Fortunately, it was not far from the great success realm.

The white python understood. It obediently began to create Shadowless Lines and scattered them before itself.

Xiao Jiu, on the other hand, used Sky-dance and began stacking buffs on itself.

After emptying the white python’s spiritual energy, Wang Ye placed it back into the spatial sphere.

“Have you used Feather Coat? Is Feather Cut ready? Have you adjusted your breathing? What’s the matter? If you’re not in a good condition, how are you going to fight?” Wang Ye went through the whole process with Xiao Jiu one by one.

After half a minute, Wang Ye patted Xiao Jiu’s wings and said, “Go! Let them see the power of the future overlord of the sky, Nicholas · Nine Heavens Brilliant Sparrow · Divine Phoenix Heavenly Beast · Xiao Jiu!”

“Chirp!” Xiao Jiu raised its wings and took off.

Whoosh!

It turned into a ray of light and rushed out!

“Roar!!!”

Almost the instant Xiao Jiu charged out, the eyes of the frost mammoths that were lying comfortably immediately turned red.

Their killing intent surged!

Their ancient roars sounded like a horn call to charge.

The dozens of frost mammoths let out a series of roars, locking onto Xiao Jiu almost immediately. Then, like a knight charging forward, they charged towards the green sparrow.

Xiao Jiu didn’t choose to clash head-on with them at the first moment.

Instead, it turned around and flew away.

It couldn’t be helped. This was the strategy its Beastmaster had given it.

It disapproved of the strategy very much, though.

At a moment like this, it should just go forward and face the opponents head-on!

Seeing the little bird turn around and fly away, the frost mammoths’ roars became even more savage.

They immediately chased after the bird, then rushed into the Shadowless Lines created by the white python.

In almost an instant, the dozen or so frost mammoths fell one after another as if they were tents on fire.

“In position! It’s time to attack!” Wang Ye exhaled. The white python was finally able to be of some use.

Seeing this, Xiao Jiu’s breathing was deep as it exhaled a huge amount of air and dived down, directly using Feather Cut!

In an instant, its wings were like two light blades that were exceptionally dazzling!

“Woohoo, the profoundness effect has been triggered!” Wang Ye’s eyes lit up.

With a twist of its body, Xiao Jiu started to spin crazily, making the two light blade-like wings to be like two spiral light beams. It was unbelievably fast as it slashed down!

Feather Cut Breathing, First Form, Blood Rage Combo!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Xiao Jiu instantly turned into two light blades that spun crazily and instantly pierced through more than the dozen frost mammoths that were struggling on the ground!

The frost armor on their bodies instantly shattered. Their skin, which was as thick as a wall, was cut open like tofu!

Boom!

Even a huge gully that was dozens of meters long was cut into the ground!

“As expected of the profoundness effect of a peak mastery realm skill. It’s so cool and powerful!” Wang Ye nodded repeatedly as he watched.

Once the profoundness was unleashed, the controlled frost mammoths were instantly killed!

Who could be a match for Xiao Jiu now?

Xiao Jiu’s entire body was currently burning with a faint layer of scarlet red air current.

That was the special effect caused by the Blood Rage Combo.

The profoundness effect would cause the pet to lose HP.

In that instant just now, Xiao Jiu had consecutively slashed out at least five Feather Cuts while spinning just now. The power of the skill was thus multiplied, the more consecutive times, the greater the power!

However, not only did this move consume mana, but it also consumed HP.

Without the energy-saving effect of Sky Breath while using this move, Xiao Jiu would probably only be able to slash out less than three times, and the power wouldn’t be so strong.

It was a combination attack of Sky Breath, Sky-dance, Hurricane God Wings, and Feather Cut with its profoundness effect.

This set of skills could be considered the highest level of combat strength Xiao Jiu could currently reach.

When its profoundness effect was triggered, Feather Cut was even more powerful than the great success realm Skyful of Feathers.

That being said, being a soul-type skill, Skyful of Feathers was more flexible.

It was just that these frost mammoths had very strong defense and spiritual resistance, so Skyful of Feathers wasn’t very useful.

Unless it had a piercing-type profoundness effect or was used to attack the strange gods, then its effects would be significant.

As the dozen frost mammoths fell one after another, their bodies began to shatter.

But this time, something seemed to have been dropped.

Some tusks had appeared on the ground.

“Materials have been dropped?” Wang Ye walked over, “Good, at least the crimson flame phoenix is quite conscientious… I can understand that the thunder colossus didn’t drop anything since it was only one beast. But now that we’ve killed so many fierce beasts in one go, it wouldn’t make sense if they didn’t drop anything.”

“These mammoth tusks are tainted with strange energy. Hmm, after purification, these are rare intermediate ice-type materials that can be used to evolve or forge equipment. Each one is worth around 100,000. Now, I’ve got 10 pieces,” Wang Ye put them away, feeling quite satisfied.

He had earned around a million with this.

“The crimson flame phoenix is indeed very reasonable. Let’s go and see what the fourth stage is like. There are only five stages in total, right? Once we clear all five stages, we should be able to meet the crimson flame phoenix’s soul fire.”
