Chapter 824: Tim Versus Emeraldine Legion – I
The Senior Emeraldine Monkey couldn’t help but feel stunned by this. While the six junior Emeraldine monkeys that were sent flying were newly promoted, their cultivation base wasn’t that far from him, being only one minor realm below.
Thus if the Weasel could send those junior Emeraldine monkeys flying like this, he could very well do the same with him.
~WHOOSH~
The six Emeraldine monkeys kept flying through the air and had already traveled over half a kilometer away.
“Won’t be good for them if they don’t stop…” Lin Wu muttered and waved his tail.
~SHUA~
In the next moment, the six junior Emeraldine disappeared and a string of runes appeared close to Lin Wu, near the observation area of the arena. Since the beasts didn’t really ‘sit’ normally, there was no ‘seating’ area.
Instead of that, there were several wide decks set up in a staggered formation all around the arena, with multiple gaps in between so that bigger beasts could simply stand on ground there or movement was allowed.
The string of runes formed into a teleportation formation and from it the six junior Emeraldine monkeys appeared.
~thud~ thud~ thud~
Six bodies dropped onto the wooden deck, making it creak slightly. Thankfully the wood was tough, or the momentum of the six monkeys would have probably broken it with ease.
“UGH!”
“My ribs!”
“My back!
The six monkeys cried in pain as visible bruises appeared on their bodies.
“Oh shut up, don’t be like kids. He didn’t do any permanent damage.” Lin Wu chided.
“M-master?!” the Emeraldine monkeys hadn’t even realized that they had been brought here by Lin Wu.
They had thought that they had been sent flying too far and had now collapsed on the ground. But surprisingly they were next to Lin Wu.
“Did… master save us?” One of them understood.
“Yes. Now just shut up and watch the fight. Maybe you’ll get to learn something. Your injuries will heal soon enough. You guys aren’t just any normal beasts.” Lin Wu replied.
‘We will heal soon?’ the Emeraldine monkeys were confused.
But just as Lin Mu had said, their injuries started to visibly heal and the bruises became lighter than before.
“The pain… it’s gone!” One of the Emeraldine monkeys said.
Enhanced healing was another benefit of the Emeraldine Legion bloodline. This was something that was partially inherited from Lin Wu as being a worm gave one not just faster healing but also regeneration.
Unfortunately, only the healing part was apparent in the other beasts, and regeneration was exclusive to Lin Wu. Though he didn’t know if this was a compatibility issue or a concentration issue.
The Emeraldine Legion bloodline enhanced while merging with the original bloodline of the beast after all. It didn’t fully became pure. This was also the reason why it could be used by nearly any beast till now and even usable in humans.
And since it enhanced and transformed the original bloodline, it could also pass on a part of the original skills.
‘Perhaps I should find another beast with faster healing and regeneration. Maybe another worm or a salamander.’ Lin Wu thought of beasts that had these abilities naturally. While it might not be as strong as Lin Wu’s own, them being there alone was more than enough to be improved considerably.
Ten seconds had passed since the six junior Emeraldine monkeys had been sent flying and now rescued. In this time, Tim had weaved around all the beasts and made it hard for them to lock onto him.
“Seems like we might have to restrain him first.” The Twin Lights Liger King spoke.
“Anyone proficient in that?” the Slim Arm Ape King asked.
Among all the servant beasts, there were plenty that had abilities and skills that were meant for direct offense or great defense. But there didn’t seem to be anyone that was made for controlling an area or restraining someone or something.
~Sigh~
“I’ll do it.” The Emeraldine Sky Light Monk Ape said after seeing that none of his fellow beasts could keep up.
“You restrain it and we’ll being our assault.” The Twin Lights Liger King stated.
“Very well.” The Emeraldine Sky Light Monk ape agreed. “But you need to buy me a little time for it.” The others nodded in response to this and got ready.
~BANG~ BANG~ BANG~
The Split Thorn Horn Beetle King moved his large body and came to block one side of the Emeraldine Sky Light Monk ape. And just as he did that, several attacks rained down on his tough shell.
~CREAK~
While his shell managed to sustain the attacks, dents and cracks could already be seen on it.
“That was a close call!” The mole beast said in shock.
He had seen the trailing image of the weasel hitting the Split Thorn Horn beetle king.
“QUICK! DEFEND THE OTHER SIDE!” The Slim Arm Ape King ordered.
“ON IT!” the Emeraldine Horn Beetle scuttled across the ground and blocked the other side of the Monk Ape.
While her size had not reached her ancestors yet, the Emeraldine Horn Beetle had certainly increased greatly from before. Not to mention, with the Emeraldine legion bloodline, her defenses were even better than her ancestors.
~CRACK~
But that didn’t mean it could hold back against Tim’s obsidian claws.
“ARGH!” The Emeraldine Horn beetle cried in pain, feeling the weasel’s claws dig through her shell and cutting her inner chitin.
Dark green fluid leaked out of the wound, looking rather strange. This was nothing but her blood and was differently colored than normal beasts. Unlike most beasts, insect beasts could have several different kinds of blood colors, and were not restricted to just red.
“Not so easily!” The Demon Spine ape jumped up and raised his fists, bringing them upon Tim.
~KREEE~
Tim let out a threating cry and met the attack head on.
~DENG~
It felt like a metal gong had been rung, as the Demon Spine Ape’s first banged against Tim.
But surprisingly, the one being pushed back was none other than the Demon Spine ape!
