Beast Taming: Sharing Pets' Abilities-Chapter 317 - 316: The Terrifying Petrification Divine Technique!
The Stone Demon Crocodile carried its prey to another Stone Demon Crocodile, laying it down.
The other Stone Demon Crocodile then opened its mouth and tore into the prey’s flesh piece by piece, feasting voraciously.
Suddenly,
a silver light like lightning sliced through the sky, swiftly piercing through a Stone Demon Crocodile.
Pfft!
This silver light was extremely sharp, effortlessly penetrating the head of the Stone Demon Crocodile.
Its head bore a large hole, and though the Stone Demon Crocodile was quite large, with strength nearly reaching the Golden Core, it released a few strange wails before slowly floating on the water’s surface, motionless, lifeless.
However, at this moment, no one paid attention to this Stone Demon Crocodile’s corpse. The other Stone Demon Crocodiles, alarmed by the noise, frantically howled, searching for the perpetrator, which was the silver light.
Roar——!!!
Even the leading Stone Demon Dragon Crocodile let out a thunderous roar that echoed for miles, causing many Demon Beasts and Fierce Beasts to tremble with fear.
As for the other Stone Demon Crocodiles, they seemed to be stimulated by some kind, investigating the surroundings.
At this moment, streaks of cyan light exploded from the back of another Stone Demon Crocodile’s head.
By rights, the Stone Demon Crocodile is an Earth Demon Beast, known for its defense, and this one’s head was particularly hard.
But under the cyan light, the hard skull of the Stone Demon Crocodile seemed to turn to tofu, pierced through by the slender cyan rays of light.
A closer look revealed these cyan lights to be slender sword-like cyan Sword Qi!
And this cyan Sword Qi was extremely sharp, clearly emanating from a gracefully dancing cyan butterfly.
Correct, this cyan butterfly was the Cyan Shadow Sword Butterfly!
After slaying the Stone Demon Crocodile, the Cyan Shadow Sword Butterfly fluttered away, its small body moving like a shimmering silhouette into the distance.
Seeing this, the nearby Stone Demon Crocodiles grew even more frenzied, infuriated, and charged forward, howling.
Some Stone Demon Crocodiles even unleashed their Innate Divine Techniques.
Swish, swish, swish! Swish, swish, swish!
Clumps of muddy water in the lake, under the Demon Qi of the Stone Demon Crocodiles, hardened into earthen spikes, rapidly dried and became sharp, hurtling towards the Cyan Shadow Sword Butterfly.
But what is the Cyan Shadow Sword Butterfly?
It is the descendant of the ancient exotic insect, the Cyan Jade Sword Butterfly!
If it were so easy to kill, would it still be considered the descendant of an ancient exotic insect?!
The Cyan Shadow Sword Butterfly merely evaded a few times, easily dodging these attacks, as if it were dancing on a knife’s edge, gracefully weaving through danger, then flying into the distance.
On the other side, the silver light that had just pierced another Stone Demon Crocodile also revealed its form, a gleaming silver-backed centipede, nearly three feet long, darting and flipping in the air like an odd-shaped Flying Sword.
This silver centipede was clearly Gu Yuan’s Spirit Pet, the Silver-backed Centipede!
After revealing itself, the Silver-backed Centipede, like the Cyan Shadow Sword Butterfly, quickly dashed into the distance.
The other Stone Demon Crocodiles were one thing, but the Stone Demon Dragon Crocodile, being the most intelligent, was the most enraged.
It let out another roar, then decisively opened its mouth, spewing out a cloud of earthy yellow mist.
This mist rapidly spread, turning water, vegetation, and even Stone Demon Crocodiles into hard stone wherever it passed.
Facing such a divine technique attack, the Silver-backed Centipede was also terrified, its body flashing as it sped, narrowly avoiding the earthy yellow mist.
Not far away, Gu Yuan, hidden in the shadows, slightly changed color.
This was clearly the Petrification Divine Technique of the Stone Demon Dragon Crocodile. However, the power of an ordinary Petrification Divine Technique could not possibly reach such an extent.
If only the vegetation and the Stone Demon Crocodile, such demons, were petrified, it wouldn’t matter, but what did Gu Yuan see?
He clearly saw, in the path of the earthy yellow mist, the water itself coagulated and solidified into hard stone, which was far more dreadful.
The water turning into stone means a transformation from Water Element to Earth Element, a fundamental change.
As far as Gu Yuan knew, such a technique surpassed Top-Grade Divine Techniques and could probably only be achieved by a Prototype of Great Divine Techniques.
If the Silver-backed Centipede had been a bit slower in its escape, it might have really ended here.
Although the Silver-backed Centipede is formidable, encountering such a terrifying divine technique would spell disaster, even for the Cyan Shadow Sword Butterfly-level exotic insects, it is no exception.
However, at this moment, both the Cyan Shadow Sword Butterfly and the Silver-backed Centipede have completed their tasks, and now, it’s his turn to act.
In a flash, Gu Yuan flew towards the area of the Purple-Cyan Twin Lotus, cloaked in a faint sheen of water, concealing his form entirely without a trace.
The commotion caused by the Cyan Shadow Sword Butterfly and the Silver-backed Centipede was well-calculated. By now, the other Stone Demon Crocodiles, including the leading Stone Demon Dragon Crocodile, had been drawn a substantial distance away by the two little ones.
This also meant a notable distance from the area of the Purple-Cyan Twin Lotus.
Even the young Stone Demon Crocodiles were scared into diving deep underwater by the commotion before.
So now, the timing for Gu Yuan to act was just right! And his position was well-chosen, as he was already not far from the Purple-Cyan Twin Lotus. By employing his fastest Sword Escape, Gu Yuan reached above the Purple-Cyan Twin Lotus in just a breath.
Without hesitation, Gu Yuan raised his hand with a wave, emitting transparent Sword Qi Threads that flew out, wrapping around the Purple-Cyan Twin Lotus and cutting them from the base, while a stream of water enveloped them entirely to prevent damage.
With a beckoning of his hand, the Purple-Cyan Twin Lotus were collected into Gu Yuan’s Storage Pouch.
But at this moment, his appearance had already caught the attention of the Stone Demon Crocodiles, who were outraged upon seeing Gu Yuan make a move on the Purple-Cyan Twin Lotus.
The Stone Demon Dragon Crocodile, in particular, lunged madly forward, its massive body nearly twenty feet in length charging, carrying its terrifying aura, creating an intimidating momentum!
Clearly, the Stone Demon Dragon Crocodile was wary of the Purple-Cyan Twin Lotus, hence did not deploy its Petrification Divine Techniques again like before, for fear of destroying the precious treasure.
After all, the Purple-Cyan Twin Lotus is very important to the Stone Demon Crocodiles.
To this, Gu Yuan turned and transformed into an Escape Light, fleeing without hesitation, his speed rivaling that of the Silver-backed Centipede moments ago.
However, for the Stone Demon Dragon Crocodile, which was nearly Demon King level, could Gu Yuan’s speed, fast as it was, truly escape its pursuit?
The gap between them was simply too vast, more than an entire Great Realm!
The Stone Demon Dragon Crocodile swiftly closed the distance between them, while the golden yellow rays glowed seamlessly from the unicorn horn on its head. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
The rays quickly converged, a yellow light forming at the tip of the horn, shooting out!
