Chapter 137 A Dire Battle In The Plains [Part 1]
"Bite me here, Tiona," Thirteen ordered as he pointed to his left shoulder.
The Black Snake shook her head, defying her Master's order for the first time.
"Don't worry, it's going to be fine," Thirteen replied. "Last night, I asked to collect your venom, right? I brewed a special potion that will help increase my resistance to poison. I won't die from a single bite... probably."
Tiona hissed angrily at the seven-year-old before flicking her forked tongue at her Master's nose as if telling him that there was no way she would do such a thing.
"Okay, how about this—just limit your poison to one drop only," Thirteen raised a single finger as if trying to compromise with the angry little Snake.
Tiona once again shook her head before slithering inside Thirteen's clothes no longer wanting to continue the conversation.
Thirteen sighed because his Beast Companion refused to cooperate.
He was serious when he said that he was trying to build his resistance against poison. With the most venomous Snake beside him, how could he not be tempted to court death when he was certain that he wouldn't die?
Although he might experience extreme pain when the Domini Mortis' poison spread inside his body, he was confident that the potion he had made, which included Tiona's venom as an ingredient, would help neutralize the effect of the poison.
Unfortunately for the seven-year-old, the Black Snake refused to cooperate. On the contrary, this made Jasmine and Ariel sigh in relief. Updated from novelbIn.(c)om
Unlike the other Tigerkins, the two of them didn't hold any grudge or animosity against the seven-year-old.
In fact, they were even thankful that the one who bought them was Cristopher.
If they had been bought by other people, especially those who had a unique taste for Beastkins, the two of them might have suffered fates worse than death.
Both of them knew how much Cristopher respected and admired the seven-year-old, so they knew that the chubby boy would be heartbroken if anything happened to him.
They had already seen how sad and depressed Cristopher was when the two Ogres that he bought had died at the paws of the Purple-Furred Honey Badger.
They didn't want to see him suffer again.
Suddenly, Giga Chad, who was currently serving as Thirteen's cushion, raised his head and gave a low screech.
"Cristopher, stop the wagon and summon Brutus and Bruno!" Thirteen ordered before moving to the rear of the wagon.
He then made several hand signals to the other wagons, telling them to prepare for battle and get into the formation they had agreed on beforehand.
Adira, who was reading a book inside her carriage, smiled faintly and nodded her head in approval.
She had already sensed that there were six Rank 3 Monsters approaching them from behind, but she didn't do anything to warn Zion's group about it.
The first one was the otherworldly smell that was enough to drive Monsters crazy due to how smelly it was.
The second effect, which the Chad Skunk could freely control, was a special irritant that was similar to pepper spray.
Once it hit its target, it would cause irritation and inflammation.
If the stink spray happened to hit the target's face, it was very possible to cause a boiling sensation, severe discomfort, and temporary blindness to the eyes.
Giga Chad had deliberately reduced the effect of his stink spray when he used it to neutralize Percival and the other Tigerkin, who dared to annoy his Master.
In short, both of them only got the nerfed version of the Chad Skunk's main arsenal.
Even Thirteen wasn't cruel enough to make the two Tigerkins suffer a traumatic experience that they would carry for the rest of their lives.
Unfortunately for the Dire Wolves, Giga Chad didn't hold back and gave them the full version of his stink spray, making them all writhe and yelp in pain.
"Charge!" Thirteen ordered.
Immediately, O1, O2, and the Six Trolls charged at the disoriented Dire Wolves, who had completely lost their sense of sight and smell.
Thirteen then nocked an arrow on his bow and fired to his right side, using Vassago to guide his arrows.
Since the wagons were blocking the three Dire Wolves' line of sight, they didn't know that they had already been targeted by the seven-year-old, who had already mastered the Martial Skill Cheap Shot Savant.
He didn't hesitate to use the arrows that were coated by Tiona's poison because he didn't dare underestimate the strength of Rank 3 Monsters.
These arrows were made from Orihalcon, making them stronger than the rest of the arrows in his arsenal.
The Three Dire Wolves only heard the rustling of wind before finding three arrows impaling their bodies.
Tiona's poison was extremely potent. However, their opponents were Rank 3 Monsters, so it would take a while before the poison took full effect.
"Brutus, Bruno, to the right!" Thirteen ordered. "Taiga, get ready to intercept! Focus on only one target! Cristopher, behind me!"
"T7, T8, assist Brutus!"
"T9, T10, Assist Bruno! Everyone, brace!"
As soon as Thirteen finished his orders, three Dire Wolves jumped over their wagons with their jaws opened wide.
What met them were three arrows flying straight toward their heads, which Thirteen had released the moment they appeared in his line of sight.
