Global Catastrophe: I Begin to Evolve from an Ancient Tree-Chapter 354: I Really Can’t Hold On Anymore!

Chapter 354: Chapter 354: I Really Can’t Hold On Anymore!

"Hall Master, how confident are you in this move?"

An elder asked in a low voice.

Shen Xue, with a confident expression, replied solemnly, "At least eighty percent sure!"

Eighty percent sure.

That was already quite a stable assurance.

After all, they were dealing with a seventh-tier Fierce Beast, and everyone present was only a sixth-tier cultivator. Being eighty percent sure of slaying a seventh-tier Fierce Beast was more than enough to give it a go.

Therefore.

When Shen Xue finished speaking, no one else raised any objections.

Soon.

Contribution transaction.

Shen Xue directly exchanged for a seventh-tier low-grade Forbidden Spell.

Wind God’s Roar!

A seventh-tier low-grade Forbidden Spell.

At the moment of exchanging for the Forbidden Spell, a mass of information surged into Shen Xue’s mind, causing her to instinctively close her eyes and begin to slowly digest the spell’s information.

Seeing this, the others did not disturb Shen Xue’s comprehension of the Forbidden Spell, but instead began inscribing Magic Inscriptions, preparing to trap the seventh-tier Fierce Beast.

Trapping a seventh-tier Fierce Beast wasn’t a simple matter either.

At this time.

Tao Feng’s message appeared once again on the Divine Kingdom team’s board.

"That Fierce Beast is really hot on my tail, I don’t think I can shake it off. My only option is to go back to the Dimension Gate. Where are you all now?"

The message was sent for quite some time without any reply.

After a while.

Subtitles appeared.

Upon seeing the message, Tao Feng froze instinctively, almost forgetting that a seventh-tier Fierce Beast was chasing him, nearly getting caught.

"You guys are insane for trying to surround and kill a seventh-tier Fierce Beast!"

The first thought Tao Feng had when he saw the message was that they were crazy.

Seventh-tier Fierce Beast!

And the beast behind him was definitely not just a mere seventh-tier low-grade.

To want to encircle and kill such a beast, at least a seventh-tier powerhouse would be needed to lead the team.

Attempting to slay a beast suspected of being a seventh-tier mid-grade with only a group of sixth-tier powerhouses was simply a fantasy.

However.

After Tao Feng sent out his message, there was no extra response; the consistent message was to stall the beast as much as possible and wait for the Snow Mountain Holy Hall’s deployment.

To this.

Although Tao Feng was somewhat skeptical, he had no choice but to grumble and hold on.

Seventh-tier mid-grade Fierce Beast.

If the Snow Mountain Holy Hall could really slay this beast, sacrificing its carcass would yield at least a billion contribution points.

This was an exceedingly generous reward.

Moreover.

The entire body of a seventh-tier Fierce Beast is a treasure.

Even if not sacrificed, its blood and flesh essence are rare commodities.

Thinking of this, Tao Feng gritted his teeth, directly exchanging for Elixir to recover his spiritual power from the Divine Kingdom chat, and swallowed it in one gulp, quickly restoring much of his previously depleted spiritual power.

For a Mage, internal spiritual power is important, but so is spiritual power.

Overusing techniques can deplete spiritual power, significantly reducing casting effectiveness and increasing the chances of spell failure.

In order to survive against a seventh-tier Fierce Beast, Tao Feng spared no use of his techniques, casting any speed-enhancing technique upon himself one after another, thus preserving his life till now.

Otherwise.

Tao Feng would have been run down by the seventh-tier Fierce Beast long ago.

Recovery of spiritual power.

Improving Tao Feng’s mental state considerably.

Amid his haste, he glanced back, just in time to see that terrifying mountain-like figure relentlessly pursuing him.

It was a Demon Ape.

Crushing the earth with its feet, scaling mountains was mere child’s play.

Each step the Demon Ape took could cover a hundred-mile distance, reaching an incredible speed.

Its scarlet eyes were fixed on Tao Feng ahead, filled with a savage, ravenous desire.

"I’ll fight you today! You want to devour me; I happen to want to taste a seventh-tier Fierce Beast. Chase me if you wish, and let’s see who will win in the end!"

The beast behind clearly wouldn’t rest until he was devoured, even causing someone like Tao Feng to curse in anger.

In that case, he’d simply fight it out.

Having been chased by a beast to this point, Tao Feng was unwilling to swallow his pride.

Immediately.

Tao Feng cast a technique on himself, increasing his speed once more, leading the seventh-tier Demon Ape in circles, neither heading elsewhere nor towards the Dimension Gate, simply circling in place.

The logic was simple.

This world wasn’t fully explored. Who could guarantee that other areas didn’t harbor seventh-tier Fierce Beasts?

Yet beasts have their own territories. The seventh-tier Demon Ape dwelling here likely meant this was its territory, making the presence of other seventh-tier beasts less likely.

As long as Tao Feng held off the Demon Ape on its own territory, the safety factor would increase significantly.

However—

The cost of doing so was also evident.

To circle in the Demon Ape’s territory, one had to maintain a speed three times faster than usual, or else the maneuvering space would shrink, and they’d likely be caught.

Sustaining this speed required constant recovery of spiritual and spiritual power losses.

Normally, those could be restored through rest.

But during battle, contribution points were needed for a swift recovery.

Even with a decent amount of contribution points, Tao Feng found the pace of consumption taxing over time.

...

Soon.

Half a day passed.

Tao Feng had lost track of how long he’d been running circles in the Demon Ape’s territory, and all his remaining contributions were completely exhausted.

At this moment.

He felt a rush of urgency.

"How about now, can you do it, I’m truly at my limit!"

After sending the message.

The elders at the Dimension Gate exchanged looks in the Snow Mountain Holy Hall.

"It seems Tao Feng is really at his limit!"

"Being chased by a seventh-tier Fierce Beast this long is no small feat, but continuing to delay might cause real problems."

"But the Hall Master has yet to awaken, it seems we’ll have to abandon this world—"

Someone glanced at Shen Xue, who was still comprehending the Forbidden Spell, and remarked helplessly.

They didn’t blame Tao Feng for holding out.

After all, dragging the seventh-tier Fierce Beast this long was a significant effort itself.

Switching places, others might’ve perished under the beast’s maw much sooner.

But given all the preparations to slay the seventh-tier Fierce Beast, not implementing a single plan was discouraging.

At that moment.

Shen Xue stirred slightly, opening her previously shut eyes, and spoke in a cool voice.

"I’ve mastered the seventh-tier low-grade Forbidden Spell. Tao Feng can lead the beast over now!"

Upon hearing this.

All the elders in the Snow Mountain Holy Hall rejoiced, immediately informing Tao Feng, who had no hesitation, ended his circling, and led the relentless seventh-tier Fierce Beast towards the Dimension Gate.
