Chapter 328: Chapter 211: Druid Qin Shou, Dragon Cat Monster (Two in One)
Qin Shou’s eyes widened in shock for a moment, then he cursed out loud.
"Damn it, can this ever end?"
With a thought, the Tai Chi Diagram appeared at his waist, and golden armor enveloped his entire body.
"Hiss!!"
The elegant Space Gate swung open, the Aurora Sword slipping into Qin Shou’s grip. He held it with both hands as torrential Star Power surged into the blade, igniting over a thousand Earth Core Energy Crystals embedded within.
"Boom!!"
In an instant, brilliant golden sword light burst forth like fiery radiance, forming a blazing golden beam that shot straight up to the heavens, piercing through the dense black clouds above.
"Screee...!"
The golden beam tore through the black clouds, its burning energy leaving thousands upon thousands of bloodsucking bats screaming wretchedly as they disintegrated into ash.
The energy ripple scattered nearby swarms of bats, sending them plummeting to the ground like rain.
Despite the devastation, the ink-black clouds remained thick, without a single trace of sunlight seeping through.
The golden beam blasted into the heart of the black clouds, seemingly swallowed whole, leaving no ripples or reaction.
Seeing this, Qin Shou’s expression twisted slightly.
"What the hell is this thing?"
He muttered angrily as the Aurora Sword quivered in his hands, forming a golden shield that reduced the encroaching bat swarm to a grotesque pulp.
"Roar..."
The Space Gate opened wide, shaking with a dragon’s roar as the Emperor Battle Dragon charged out, its tail whipping fiercely and knocking down swarms of bloodsucking bats to the ground.
Qin Shou flipped himself onto the Emperor Battle Dragon’s back, tilting the Aurora Sword toward the earth below.
"Go!"
"Roar..."
The Emperor Battle Dragon roared fiercely, its flight mechanisms exploding in dazzling light. Speed increasing, it dove sharply toward the ground.
With so many bats swarming in the air, if he couldn’t fly, then he would head underground.
"Screee...!"
Seemingly enraged by their "prey" escaping, the dark mass of bats shrieked violently. Their sharp, maddening cries formed waves of sound, as countless bats’ sonic attacks converged, rolling across the black clouds to engulf mountains below.
"Buzz..."
Though the Emperor Battle Dragon’s speed was impressive, it couldn’t match the spread of the sonic energy waves.
Just as they were about to reach the ground, the wave swept over, brushing against the Emperor Armor and the Emperor Battle Dragon.
In an instant, the Emperor Armor’s glow dimmed, and the Emperor Battle Dragon’s speed plummeted. Its roar grew faint, tinged with weakness.
Noticing the anomaly, Qin Shou’s expression darkened further.
The high-altitude black clouds could block signals, and the bats’ sonic energy could disable mechanical operations.
This meant he couldn’t call for help; most of his beast companions weren’t with him, and his armor was now useless.
Being a Summoner really sucked.
"Screee...!"
Meanwhile, waves of bloodsucking bats transformed into an eerie black cloud, rapidly approaching. Qin Shou hurriedly swapped out his armor with the Emperor Rider Armor, bracing for the bat storm.
Moments later, an endless swarm of bats enveloped him completely.
"Boom!!"
At the next moment, a ferocious explosion of Flame Energy erupted within the black cloud, forming a fiery dome several hundred meters in diameter that incinerated thousands upon thousands of bloodsucking bats.
Nuclear Explosion Kick!
Wearing black armor trimmed in gold, Qin Shou shot out like a bullet. Behind him, the fiery dome detonated, unleashing a violent shockwave. The burst of energy fueled Qin Shou’s acceleration, allowing him to crash-land onto the ground.
Before Qin Shou could summon Groot, the ground trembled violently as if a colossal entity was about to erupt.
Without any hesitation, Qin Shou leapt into the air, dodging a grotesque claw bursting out from beneath the surface.
"Awooo!!"
The earth shook intensely, dirt spraying dozens of meters into the sky as a fifty-meter-tall giant rat emerged, howling upward.
Its haunting red eyes glowed ominously, and its massive, furry tail swished effortlessly, whipping up ferocious sandstorms.
"What a monstrous chinchilla!"
Hovering mid-air, Qin Shou stared at the enormous chinchilla-like monster, his eyelids twitching involuntarily.
Nightmare Level Chinchilla!
"Awooo..."
The colossal chinchilla locked its glowing red eyes onto Qin Shou, intensifying their eerie luminescence. Its enormous body moved with unnatural agility far surpassing other creatures of its grade, as its round figure rolled swiftly forward, crushing giant stones in its path. Then, with explosive momentum, it launched itself into the air, hurtling toward Qin Shou.
From its gaping maw, Qin Shou could clearly see that the usual adorable teeth of a chinchilla had morphed into sharp, carnivorous fangs.
A single bite would spell certain doom.
Heart racing in terror, Qin Shou activated his instant acceleration, dodging the chinchilla’s ferocious pounce with a flying kick.
"Screee...!"
Mid-air, the bloodsucking bats unleashed yet another sonic wave. His armor’s speed abruptly slowed, and the giant chinchilla swung its furry tail, slicing through the air and slamming Qin Shou hard into the sky.
The impact sent Qin Shou spiraling upward, a large mouthful of blood spewing from his lips as he soared.
He vowed in his heart: Never again would he think chinchillas were cute...
As this absurd thought flashed through his mind, Qin Shou experienced a fleeting moment of tranquility before his body began to plummet freely.
"Boom..."
His battle armor’s energy thrusters fired abruptly, barely halting his descent as the Space Gate cracked open slightly, revealing the top of the Pyramid.
Think you’re the only ones who know how to suppress?
"Big Big Wolf, fire the electromagnetic pulse!"
"Got it, my dear master."
"Buzz..."
Golden energy surged toward the heavens, piercing into the black clouds, then detonated outward in an explosion of golden light particles that rained down to the earth.
"Screee...!"
An infinite swarm of bloodsucking bats was engulfed by the Golden Light, letting out panicked screams. Their waves of sonic energy gradually dissipated before vanishing entirely into the Void.
Watching this unfold, Qin Shou’s cheek twitched. If he’d known better, he wouldn’t have hesitated in the first place.
If he’d launched the electromagnetic pulse earlier, he could’ve avoided all this trouble.
Damn these fantasy novels for misleading him!
He roared internally.
"Cough, cough..."
Suddenly, piercing pain erupted from his chest, blood surging uncontrollably. Qin Shou spat another mouthful of blood, his face turning ghostly pale.
His inner organs were nearly shattered.
Hurriedly pulling out the Reynard Transformation Card, Qin Shou felt his injuries rapidly mending.
However, Reynard couldn’t fly, and icy winds blasted against his face as the endless swarm of bats closed in.
