Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 1417
Chapters 1417 and 1412: Ten Million Volts (Combined)
With a deafening crash, the Bonefire Monkey blasted a massive crater into the ground.
The ground trembled, and dozens of astonishing cracks rapidly spread outwards from its point of impact. ”
Bonefire Monkey used Body Slam to accelerate its descent! It dodged Thunder Dragon’s attack!” On the commentary stage, Nefertis rapidly reported the situation.
“At the same time, the electric net also exploded,” Auror added.
On the field, the explosive force from the collision with the ground caused the electric net surrounding Bonefire Monkey to vanish instantly.
“Bone…”
Bonefire Monkey, wielding its bone club, its eyes sharp, slowly rose from the ground.
However, at that moment, black thunderclouds suddenly appeared in the sky, yellow arcs of electricity constantly crackling within them.
Thunderbolt twisted its body and flew swiftly towards the thunderclouds.
Thunderstorm… Feng Fu looked at the scene high in the sky, her expression grave, and issued the command:
“Defend.”
To be honest, when collecting information on Qiao Sang, there was information about Thunder Reverse Dragon, but at that time Thunder Reverse Dragon was only a high-level pet, so she didn’t pay much attention to it. Now it seems that the newly evolved Thunder Dragon has many high-level skills, such as the Million Volts just now and the current Thunderstorm, and its proficiency seems quite high.
And the initial Electric Net, the form it displayed was clearly an electric discharge, but it could skillfully transform it into an electric net unexpectedly. Whether it’s an electric discharge or an electric net, proficiency must be at its peak to be able to do this.
Feng Fu focused her mind, becoming vigilant, not daring to be careless.
Although Thunder Dragon has only just evolved, through the brief exchange just now, she understood that Thunder Dragon could not be simply regarded as a pet at the early stage of General level.
Some pets, although only at the early stage of General level, can defeat pets at the late stage of General level with the command of a professional beast tamer, and with their own skill proficiency and characteristics.
After all, a general-level pet isn’t considered a high-level pet, and this can easily compensate for the difference.
There have been examples of this before.
Josang is an abnormal being who cannot be measured by common sense, and the Thunder Dragon she bred naturally cannot be measured by common sense either. She absolutely cannot be careless.
This is her only chance to win a point!
“Hard Bone!”
The Hard Bone Fire Monkey roared to the sky, and the next second, the skeletal armor covering its body suddenly burst into scorching flames.
With the support of the flames, the skeleton extended and expanded, forming an even more perfect fire skeleton armor that covered its entire body.
“The Hard Bone Fire Monkey has unleashed Fire Bone Armor!” Aurore shouted from the commentary booth.
In the audience, those who bet on Josang to win 6-0 all had long faces.
Firebone Armor, a high-level fire-type defensive skill, is also a racial skill of the Bonefire Monkey. It allows the monkey to fuse with flames, transforming its skeleton into firebone armor for defense… Qiao Sang recalled that the Bonefire Monkey’s Firebone Armor had already reached the advanced level… Information about it flashed through Qiao Sang’s mind, and he thought that this commotion indicated the monkey was about to launch a fierce attack.
Sure enough, in a flash, the Bonefire Monkey bent its knees, its muscles bulging, and then, like a rocket launch, it rapidly shot upwards.
“Boom boom boom!”
One after another, bolts of yellow lightning crashed down from the thunderclouds, but the Bonefire Monkey, controlling its muscles, moved through the air, constantly dodging the lightning bolts.
“Seal!” Qiao Sang commanded.
Within the thunderclouds, countless arcs of electricity suddenly surged from Tingbao’s body, converging into a single bolt that struck the exact spot the Bonefire Monkey was about to move. The Bonefire
Monkey controlled its muscles, forcefully reversing its original direction of movement.
But just then, with a deafening “bang,” a bolt of lightning struck straight down from the sky, landing precisely on the Bonefire Monkey.
The Bonefire Monkey plummeted to the ground like a streak of fire.
“Bang!”
Another deafening crash.
The ground cracked.
The Bonefire Monkey knelt on one knee, its bone club embedded in the ground. Its fiery bone armor had only a small crack, completely invisible in the burning flames.
“The lightning successfully struck the Bonefire Monkey!” announced Nefertis on the commentary stage.
So, Thunder Dragon had gained the upper hand…? The spectators who had been groaning earlier brightened up, feeling a renewed sense of hope.
Aside from Feng Fu’s fans and those who had bet on Qiao Sang to win 6-0, the rest of the audience watched with a sense of relief. In their view, the outcome of this match wouldn’t affect the final victory.
This was a prediction of where the lightning would strike during a thunderstorm. The Fire Monkey used its own lightning attack to block the direction it was originally moving in, deliberately leading it towards the direction the lightning would strike… Feng Fu’s mind raced, and she immediately understood the intention behind Qiao Sang’s earlier command. After only a moment’s thought, she changed her original strategy and said,
“Fire Bone.”
The Fire Monkey stood up again, and without a word, its arm muscles tensed. At the same time, the bone club in its hand quickly ignited with flames and was thrown upwards with force. The
burning bone club spun upwards, directly towards Ting Bao in the thundercloud.
Ting Bao twisted its body, easily dodging the bone club’s attack.
The bone club spun downwards, and the Fire Monkey, while moving at high speed to dodge the downward lightning, accurately caught the flying bone club.
“Fire Bone didn’t hit Thunder Dragon,” said Auror on the commentary platform.
“Thunder Dragon can fly and move in the air, launching long-range attacks,” Nefertis analyzed. “While Bonefire Monkey can also launch long-range attacks, it doesn’t yet have ultra-long-range attacks, so it’s at a disadvantage.”
“Sidong.”
“Sidong.”
Sidong Flower called out twice, indicating that Bonefire Monkey was only temporarily at a disadvantage. Thunder Dragon is at the early stage of the General level, with limited energy, and cannot continuously unleash its lightning weather. Moreover, the lightning generated in lightning weather is not dense enough and won’t track attacks. As long as Bonefire Monkey stays on the ground instead of moving in the air, dodging these lightning bolts is still quite easy.
Nefertis, hearing the translation in her earpiece, laughed, “It seems Sidong Flower is more optimistic about Bonefire Monkey now.”
“Sidong.”
Sidong Flower, watching the majestic figure constantly weaving through the lightning, immediately retorted.
How could you think that? Of course, it still favors Thunder Dragon more.
Nefertis smiled slightly, “Then it seems I misunderstood.”
Suddenly, Auror looked at the sky, narrowed her eyes, and asked, “Is Thunder Dragon absorbing lightning?”
Upon hearing this, everyone and their pets immediately turned their gazes to the sky.
There, within the thunderclouds, the Thunder Dragon flew towards the direction where the lightning had appeared, opened its mouth, and swallowed it whole.
This was… Everyone was stunned for a moment, then realized something, their eyes lighting up.
Swallowing lightning!
“Thunder Dragon is indeed absorbing lightning.” On the commentary stage, Nefertis exclaimed, “It seems it has the Lightning Absorb ability.”
“Sidong.”
Sidonghua gave an “I understand” look and called out, indicating that Thunder Dragon’s use of Thunder Weather wasn’t for attack, but to absorb lightning to enhance its own attack.
Thunderbolt’s energy and explosive power are not as good as Infernape’s, but it has its trump card, 10 Million Volts. With the enhancement of the Lightning Absorb ability, whether Infernape uses Firebone Armor for defense or relies on other moves to attack, Thunderbolt can directly penetrate it and hit Infernape’s body… Qiao Sang thought to herself.
Feng Fu also saw this scene. Her heart sank, but then she thought of Infernape’s Firebone Armor and relaxed slightly.
Others were unaware, and no one paid attention to the Bonefire Monkey. During this time, the Bonefire Monkey’s Firebone Armor had actually reached its peak. Even if Thunder Dragon enhanced it with a high-level attack skill of the same proficiency, it could only shatter the Firebone Armor at most. Moreover, energy enhanced by absorbing lightning had a time limit.
In a flash of thought, a thick bolt of lightning struck straight down from the sky.
This lightning was precisely aimed at the Bonefire Monkey’s location; it was clearly not lightning generated by the storm, but rather a lightning attack launched by Thunder Dragon itself.
It seems the enhancement is complete… Feng Fu quickly responded:
“Strong Defense.”
The Bonefire Monkey, like a streak of fire, easily dodged the precisely struck lightning. At the same time, the flames burning on its Firebone Armor suddenly spread out, and the cracks previously created by the lightning healed rapidly under the visible flames.
Just then, the storm dissipated, and Tingbao twisted its body and flew straight down.
The Bonefire Monkey glanced upwards, then abruptly bent its knees, tensed its muscles, and brandished its flaming bone club, transforming into a streak of fire as it charged straight towards Tingbao’s location.
Tingbao’s speed didn’t diminish, and simultaneously, a thick bolt of lightning gathered around him, striking downwards.
The Bonefire Monkey, equally undeterred, forcefully swung its fiery bone club upwards.
“Bang!”
A deafening roar erupted as the power of the lightning and the fireball collided and exploded.
Tingbao and the Bonefire Monkey plunged into the scattering shockwave.
“Bang!”
Another deafening roar followed, an even more violent shockwave carrying flames and lightning, scattering outwards.
Two figures were ejected from the shockwave, one flying upwards, the other downwards.
The figure flying downwards raised its hand, catching the bone club that was spinning towards it. The next second, the bone club burst into fierce flames once more.
As the Bonefire Monkey plummeted, its eyes darted upwards, forcefully hurling the fireball club towards the direction Tingbao had been flying.
“Bang!”
This time, the bone club struck precisely, and Tingbao couldn’t dodge.
The shockwave, carrying flames, momentarily obscured its body.
Just before crashing to the ground, the Bone Fire Monkey performed a backflip, landing steadily.
It raised its hand to the side, but the expected bone club didn’t spin and fly towards it.
The Bone Fire Monkey frowned, looking up to see that in the sky, Thunder Dragon had somehow regained its footing, its tail coiled around its bone club!
“Bone…”
The Bone Fire Monkey’s frown deepened.
Tingbao stared at it, then its tail emitted a rich, silvery-white light, suddenly tightening.
With a “crack,” cracks appeared on the bone club, shattering it.
“Bone!”
The Bone Fire Monkey’s eyes instantly turned bloodshot, its muscles tensed, and it transformed into a streak of fire once more, charging straight towards Tingbao’s location.
How could this be? It had clearly struck Thunder Dragon twice with Fire Bone, yet it seemed barely injured, and there was no burn effect. While dragon-type pets generally have higher defense than other types, Thunder Dragon was an offensive dragon-type, not a defensive one. How could it have only suffered so little damage after being attacked twice by Hardbone Fire Monkey with Fire Bone… Could Thunder Dragon possess some defensive ability…? Seeing Hardbone Fire Monkey charging upwards, Feng Fu quickly gathered his thoughts and issued the command:
“Flame Close Combat.”
In the stands, the crowd stirred as they watched Thunder Dragon shatter Hardbone Fire Monkey’s bone club.
Those who had bet on Qiao Sang’s 6-0 victory, in particular, had their eyes light up, feeling a glimmer of hope for victory.
However, the next second, that hope was shattered.
Hardbone Fire Monkey, leaping upwards using its muscular strength, its muscles taut and bulging terrifyingly, quickly reached the same height as Ting Bao, like a streak of fire.
Before Tingbao could move, a fist burning with flames blasted through the air, raining down like a dense storm of fire! Tingbao
endured the attacks, gritting its teeth to suppress a scream. Simultaneously, a thick arc of electricity shot out from its body, striking directly at the Bone Fire Monkey.
The lightning missed, and the Bone Fire Monkey used its muscle strength to shift, dodging the lightning’s force. Its flaming fist struck again, giving Tingbao no chance to move.
But just then, the lightning that had previously missed suddenly split into dozens of beams, rapidly weaving together and attacking the Bone Fire Monkey.
Caught off guard, the Bone Fire Monkey
was completely enveloped by the electric net. “
They used the electric net again…” Feng Fu watched the scene high in the sky, remaining relatively calm.
To be honest, this was within her expectations. The Bone Fire Monkey risked being trapped by the electric net if it got close, but its greatest strength was close combat. To defeat Lei Xiaolong, she had to attack in close quarters.
With its strength and energy, the Bonefire Monkey could easily tear apart the electric net trapping it, as long as it wasn’t afraid of injury.
“Entangle,” Feng Fu said.
Just as it was about to fall, the Bonefire Monkey tensed its muscles. Ignoring the electric net surrounding it, it twisted upwards and actually sat on Tingbao’s back!
“Bonefire Monkey is sitting on Thunder Dragon!” Aurore exclaimed from the commentary booth.
“Si Dong,”
Si Donghua exclaimed, indicating that Thunder Dragon’s strength was truly impressive; even with such a heavy creature on its back, it didn’t fall to the ground.
“Bonefire!”
Just as the host and guests were commentating, the Bonefire Monkey raised its hand and placed it on the electric net in front of it. The moment it touched it, it showed a pained expression, but it didn’t let go. The Bonefire Monkey
‘s arm muscles suddenly expanded, ignoring the lightning power in its hand, and forcefully tore the electric net apart!
Really, I thought it would take more effort, but unexpectedly, the opponent just stopped moving… Qiao Sang quickly said:
“Please don’t…”
Tingbao had already intended this, so instead of struggling to shake off the Hardbone Fire Monkey when it mounted, it rapidly circulated its energy.
“Tingting!”
The instant its Beastmaster uttered the words, a thick, terrifying bolt of lightning suddenly blasted out from its back!
“Hardbone!!!”
The lightning flashed, dazzlingly bright, and in the blinding light, the Hardbone Fire Monkey’s massive figure was blasted directly into the sky. (End of Chapter)
