560 Blocking the Way
At this moment, Li Qinghe suddenly paused. With a solemn expression, she said,
“Heavy ominous rain, there are ferocious beasts ahead.”
Lu Yuan realized that Li Qinghe’s dark clone seemed to have discovered the python on the branch.
Upon hearing Li Qinghe’s words, Si Tingyu paused. Her expression turned serious, and a deep dragon’s roar rang out from her body. Golden red scales appeared on her body, and her aura became much stronger.
At this moment, the python on the branch in the distance suddenly opened its mouth. A ball of green light condensed in its mouth and shot towards Lu Yuan and the others.
Sensing the energy contained within the green ball of light, Si Tingyu frowned slightly. The spear in her hand vibrated, and a golden-red shield covered in scales appeared in front of her.
The green ball of light exploded on the shield with a loud bang. The aftershock wreaked havoc, and the green light shot into the trees at the side, corroding them.
Just as the giant python moved, Shuangyue and Li Qinghe moved at the same time.
Shuangyue waved her staff slightly, and in the next moment, strong vines suddenly appeared on the branch where the python was. All the vines bound the python immediately, and the python could not move for a moment.
At the same time, Li Qinghe disappeared from her spot. In the next moment, she appeared in front of the branch where the python was. The space around her tore apart, and pitch-black sword lights appeared, enveloping the python.
Lu Yuan could feel spatial fluctuations from the sword light. He knew about Li Qinghe’s combat skill.
It was called Shadow Instant Space Slash.
It was a combat skill that combined the Shadow and Space Elements. It could be said to be very precious.
Li Qinghe had already inscribed this combat skill when she was a Battle King.
Faced with such a powerful attack, the python hissed, and the tentacles around its body trembled even more violently. Because it could not move, it condensed a green light barrier around its body, trying to block the attack.
However, the spatial strength of the Shadow Instant Space Slash was not weak. After all, this was a combat skill that possessed spatial power.
Soon, the light shield was torn apart. Then, sword lights flashed and tore the python into pieces.
Li Qinghe and the other two had great teamwork. Although they were all Battle Monarchs, they weren’t weak. All of them had Imperial combat skills engraved on them. If the three of them worked together, they might be able to fight an ordinary Battle Emperor.
It was just an Emperor-level mutated beast. To the three of them, it was an easy target to kill.
Lu Yuan knew quite a bit about Li Qinghe and Si Tingyu’s strength. Although Lu Yuan was not very clear about Shuangyue strength, since she could team up with Li Qinghe and Si Tingyu, she definitely would not be bad. Therefore, Lu Yuan was not surprised by the trio’s performance.
After the mutated beast died, Lu Yuan absorbed a wisp of unknown aura. The amount of unknown aura was not much, even less than the amount of B-grade mutated beasts before.
However, Lu Yuan was a little happy.
After all, there were probably many mutated ferocious beasts like this in the upper levels of the Origin Source Grounds. The unknown aura of the future had been settled.
Black mist seeped out of the dead python’s body. Then, its flesh and blood corroded, turning into ashes and disappearing.
The python did not drop any treasures.
Lu Yuan had heard from Li Qinghe and the other two that mutated ferocious beasts would not drop treasures, so he did not pay much attention to it.
However, mutated beasts had merit points. Lu Yuan and the other three signed a contract and the merit points were divided equally. He also received 20 merit points.
This merit information appeared directly in Lu Yuan’s mind. It was a little similar to the battle rune space. As long as he willed it, he could feel it directly.
Lu Yuan looked at the 20 merit points and was a little surprised. ”
“Such a powerful Emperor-level mutated beast, but it only has so few merit points?”
Si Tingyu chuckled.
“An ordinary king-level mutated beast only has 1 to 10 merit points, while an emperor-level mutated beast has about 10 to 100 merit points. Of course, there are also some mutated beasts that are especially powerful and have special bloodlines. These mutated beasts have higher merit points.”
Lu Yuan nodded slightly.
He smiled and continued. “Teacher, the three of you are so strong. This Emperor-tier mutated beast was so easily dealt with by you. I didn’t even need to do anything.”
“We’ve been in the Land of Origin for quite some time.” Shuangyue raised her eyebrows and smiled. “If we can’t even kill these mutated beasts, then we’ve wasted our time in the Land of Origin.”
“Shuangyue is right.”
Li Qinghe nodded slightly and said with a smile, “When we encounter stronger ferocious beasts, we’ll need you to take action.”
Si Tingyu glanced at the ashes on the ground and said, “Let’s continue forward.”
The group continued to move forward. At this time, Lu Yuan controlled the shadow clone and made the Shadow Sacred Domain that enveloped the two-headed people in the distance slowly dissipate.
As the Shadow Realm dissipated, the group of Two-headed Warriors found that their perception had returned. Everyone’s two heads still had a trace of confusion.
The two two-headed Battle Emperor immediately looked at their own team. When they realized that no one was missing, they immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
One of the heads of the Battle Emperor looked around and bowed at the same time.
“Thank you for sparing our lives.”
The others also came back to their senses. With a trace of respect on their faces, they hurriedly bowed and saluted,
