BXBX NOVEL Chapter 59 - Bathing in Lightning?
Chapter 59: Bathing in Lightning?
Watching Kula as she headed towards the direction of the Thunder Tree, Mike did not stay behind for long.
He started to head towards the direction of the Thunder Tree as well.
In this area, all things were obtained by those who were capable and were never owned by anyone else.
If one had to say who owned it, it could only be said to belong to the Wind and Thunder Battle Eagle. After all, this the Wind and Thunder Trial Field was nourished by its soul.
More importantly, the Wind-Cloud Sparrow that was hovering in the sky was communicating with itself through the Soul Seal in its body, expressing its desire for the heavenly Thunder Fruit.
Mike naturally would not give up on his pursuit of it.
Soon, this ancient, dark blue tree appeared before everyone’s eyes.
In everyone’s eyes, this tree was not something ordinary.
In fact, to certain Beastmasters, it meant something even worse.
This was because this dark blue Heavenly Thunder Tree was only useful to Thunder-type Pet Beasts, especially the matured heavenly Thunder Fruit on the tree. It contained the might of Heavenly Lightning.
Ordinary Beasts could only observe from afar, unable to get close to it.
If they managed to get close, the aura of the Thunder element that emitted from this tree would become denser and denser. The more it absorbed, the more it would accumulate in any living creature’s body. If this continued, it would be like a ticking time bomb.
This was also the reason why there weren’t many living beings here.
However, Mike didn’t think that this tree would not have any Fierce Beasts guarding it.
The more rare and precious a treasure was, the greater the probability that it would have a strong Fierce Beast guarding it.
Moreover, after so many years, no humans were entering the Wind and Thunder Arena at all.
In other words, there were only Fierce Beasts fighting each other here.
One could only imagine how powerful the Fierce Beasts that remained here would be.
“Humph! Do you still dare to follow us here? Do you still intend on plotting against the Heavenly Thunder Fruits? Those Heavenly Thunder Fruits are mine. I saw them first!”
Sensing that Mike and the others were rushing in her direction, Kula’s footsteps increased in speed, and she immediately summoned her pet beast, the Viridescent Thunder Snake.
This Viridescent Thunder Snake was 5-Star Rare Grade. It was 8 meters long and as thick as the mouth of a bowl.
Its entire body flickered with a green luster, making anyone who saw it shudder!
“Viridescent Thunder Snake, hurry up and rush over. Don’t give them a chance. Pick all the fruits on the tree for me. Don’t give them any chance.”
Kula hurriedly communicated with her Pet Beast and instructed it to pick all the Thunder Fruits on the tree.
However, in her haste, she did not notice a small bump that had appeared from under the desert ground.
The bump grew slightly and then suddenly stopped, as if it was waiting for something.
Naturally, Mike witnessed the whole thing.
Feeling the desert ground in the distance, Mike’s heart trembled.
There was danger ahead!
From his perception, the Fierce Beast that was underground was probably at the peak of Warrior-Level, which meant that it was already half a step away from Hero-Level.
Sensing this, he immediately stopped in his tracks, ready to shout at Kula who was still moving ahead.
However, she had increased her pace and had already entered the Fierce Beast’s attack range.
In other words, it was already too late to do anything now.
At the same time, under Kula’s instructions, the Viridescent Thunder Snake at her side also began to move.
Hiss Hiss Hiss!
When it saw the trees in front of it, it quickly realized that the fruit tree in front of it could give it a powerful upgrade.
The Viridescent Thunder Snake made a sound of excitement and immediately arched its body before rushing forward. Like a bolt of lightning, it quickly attacked the Thunder Tree.
When Mike saw this, he shook his head slightly.
Kula’s combat experience was basically zero, and she did not have any battlefield awareness.
She did not know much about her pet.
From his battle performance just now, it could be seen that her cooperation with her pet was only through intuition.
Very quickly, under the gaze of Mike, Lilian, and Clark, the bulge on the ground suddenly exploded.
A poisonous thorn impaled the Viridescent Thunder Snake to the Thunder Tree, rendering it unable to move at all.
This sudden change stunned everyone, especially Kula, whose eyes were wide open as if they were about to fall out.
Oh my god.
What… What was going on?
How did my Pet Beast… get attacked?
Kula stood rooted to the ground, not knowing what to do. Or rather, she didn’t know what to do at this moment.
As she felt the Viridescent Snake’s life force on the Thunder Tree gradually decrease, Kula became more and more flustered.
She had been completely unaware that there was something underground that could defeat the Viridescent Snake with a single strike.
“Viridescent Snake, pull yourself together. Quickly, get rid of the needles on your body.”
There was nothing she could do. She could only say useless things.
Mike shook his head. If she had chosen to help her companion from the first moment, he might still have been able to save the Viridescent Thunder Snake.
However, judging from the current situation, the Viridescent Thunder Snake no longer had any chance of survival.
That was because the luster on its body had become increasingly darker, and its body hardened as well.
Sensing that her pet was dead, Kula’s face turned pale, and she sat down unsteadily on the ground.
However, this scene made Mike suspicious.
Generally speaking, when a Beastmaster’s pet was sacrificed, the owner of the pet wouldn’t necessarily die. However, they would still suffer a significant backlash, or at the very least, a serious injury.
Of course, there would be exceptions. If the original owner’s body was in a strong condition, she would be able to withstand the backlash.
However, right now, Kula’s physique wasn’t strong, and she did not have much combat instinct. How could she have withstood the backlash?
Could it be that… she had two Pet Beasts like him?
However, before Mike could think any further, a sound came from beside him, interrupting his train of thought.
“Kula, come back quickly. It’s dangerous over there!” Clark hurriedly said to Kula.
Although Clark did not know exactly what had just happened, she could tell something was not right from the instant death of Kula’s Viridescent Thunder Snake.
This place was full of danger. If she went any further, Kula would probably face a death crisis.
After all, she and Kula had first met in a small team.
There had initially been seven people in this small team, but unfortunately, only both of them were left.
One could only imagine how difficult the test this time would be for them.
“Don’t pretend anymore. It’s impossible for you to get the Thunder Fruit!”
“There are thirteen Thunder Fruits on the tree. We can totally help each other and distribute them according to our contribution of work later,” Lilian said.
“Hehe, that’s the way it should be, but it’s impossible this time!”
After Kula said that, Lilian fell into a daze.
What was going on?
Could it be that she didn’t know that she was in danger?
However, Lilian soon stopped thinking about it.
Suddenly, a change occurred.
Crackling sounds came from Kula’s body, and her whole body started to flash with electrical arcs that were visible to the naked eye!
She was in the midst of lightning!
Everyone was stunned by the sight.
