"The Spirit beast that consumed the Bloodline Fruit will only have five minutes to transform. I hope Red will succeed!" During his escape, Blaze Regret thought to himself. He could only leave Red's fate to chance.
The most critical issue now was how to shake off the pursuing wild Spirit beasts.
After Red was recalled by Blaze Regret, the Paradise Bird, Frost Centipede, and Earth Rhino all became extremely enraged. United by a common enemy, they all chased after Blaze Regret.
Once out of the quicksand area, the Earth Rhino, with its heavy steps, charged headfirst towards Blaze Regret.
Not far away, the slender body of the Frost Centipede landed on the ground. Its dozen blade like legs moved quickly, slithering like a snake. Due to its insufficiently sturdy wings, its flying speed was slower than its crawling speed.
Chirp—
In the sky, the Paradise Bird let out a resonant cry, flapping its enormous snow white wings. Like an arrow released from a bowstring, it quickly closed the distance between itself and Blaze Regret.
In terms of speed, the Paradise Bird was the fastest, followed by the Frost Centipede, while the cumbersome Earth Rhino naturally lagged behind.
However, due to its higher rank, the Earth Rhino was not much slower than the Thunder Zebras, still able to keep a close chase and not be quickly shaken off.
As the Paradise Bird rapidly closed the distance with Blaze Regret, it was about to enter its long range attack range.
"All Thunder Zebras, Volt Charge!" Like Thunder Strike, Volt Charge was a skill the Thunder Zebras excelled at.
Both were acceleration skills, but unlike the Wind Skill, Volt Charge only lasted a few seconds and could deal damage to enemies.
On the ground, the five Thunder Zebras moved in unison, golden currents quickly enveloping their bodies. This negated wind resistance and rapidly increased their burst speed.
Due to the contract, these currents did not harm Blaze Regret and the Drill Rat, causing at most a tingly sensation.
In the next moment, the speed of the five Thunder Zebras clearly ramped up, and they quickly charged towards the valley entrance.
In a few seconds, the currents on the five Thunder Zebras' bodies dissipated. The duration of Volt Charge was limited, but within that time, they had almost reached the valley entrance.
Since the valley entrance was narrow, under Blaze Regret's command, the five Thunder Zebras lined up in single file, charging towards the entrance one after another.
In the sky, the Paradise Bird seized the opportunity to close the distance and immediately launched a long range attack.
The Paradise Bird's body glowed brightly, a blinding light converging to form a giant flaming sword about ten feet long, slashing diagonally down towards Blaze Regret.
"Drill Rat, Earth Wave!" Blaze Regret, always wary of the Paradise Bird, reacted immediately after its attack.
On the back of another Thunder Zebra, the Drill Rat clutched the mane while opening its mouth. Countless earth colored light spots gathered, transforming into a torrent of earth element energy, which collided with the flaming sword in the blink of an eye.
Unfortunately, even though the Drill Rat gave its all, the energy torrent was still suppressed by the light sword, which continued to slash downward.
Unlike the Drill Rat, which just a early mid tier warrior grade Spirit beast, the Paradise Bird surpassed it in both rank and species. Suppressing the Drill Rat was an easy task for the Paradise Bird.
However, thanks to the resistance from the Earth Wave, the speed at which the flaming giant sword descended was significantly reduced. The Thunder Zebras, always moving at high speed, eventually caused the flaming giant sword to miss and strike the ground hard.
Boom—
With a resounding noise, dirt flew in all directions, leaving a several meter long crack in the ground. At this moment, the five Thunder Zebras began passing through the valley entrance.
"Follow my command, jump!" When they first entered the valley, Blaze Regret had set up some traps.
Under Blaze Regret's direction, the five Thunder Zebras began to jump at the same spot. After running a few meters, they jumped again, repeating the process.
Soon, the five Thunder Zebras had rushed out of the valley entrance.
During this process, the Drill Rat continuously used long range skills, not giving the Paradise Bird a chance to launch another attack.
However, once they left the valley entrance, the Paradise Bird caught up once more. This time, Blaze Regret decided not to flee but to fight while retreating.
Even though the Paradise Bird was stronger, it couldn't gain an advantage against the combined efforts of the Drill Rat, and the five Thunder Zebras. In fact, it ended up in a somewhat embarrassing situation.
Yet, under the Paradise Bird's persistent harassment, Blaze Regret's escape speed was noticeably affected. Soon, the Frost Centipede also reached the valley entrance.
Bang—
The Frost Centipede continued forward and inevitably stepped into a trap, tumbling into a several meter deep pit.
Before the Frost Centipede could climb out, the Earth Rhino, following closely behind, failed to stop in time and also fell heavily into the pit.
The Frost Centipede felt an impending darkness. Seeing the Earth Rhino, it instinctively tried to dodge, but the trap was small, and there wasn't enough room for the massive Earth Rhino.
Bang—
Accompanied by a dull thud, the Frost Centipede was crushed to the ground by the Earth Rhino. It felt pain in every part of its body. Angrily and instinctively, it lifted its head and bit the Earth Rhino's rear, injecting venom in the process.
Suddenly stung by the Frost Centipede, the Earth Rhino was infuriated. It immediately stood up on its hind legs, with a dense, earthy yellow energy emanating from its forelimbs, and stomped down forcefully.
Boom—
