I’ve Activated The Hidden Path of Beast Evolution - Chapter 221
221 Blue-Striped Leopards
Before they crossed the bridge, they realized that a large group of Blue-Striped Leopards had gathered behind them. There were about thirty to fifty of them. So many Rank-7 Blue-Striped Leopards were undoubtedly a huge disaster for the Hunter Group. One was enough for them to deal with. Now that there were thirty to fifty of them, how could there be so many Rank-7 monsters?!
Xiao Xiao was so bitter that he could not say anything. He could only remind everyone to be on guard.
“Everyone, be on guard. Cross the bridge first!”
Just as they finished speaking, everyone who was about to cross the bridge turned around and saw a group of Blue-Striped Leopards gathered at the entrance of the cave. Everyone in the Hunter Group was dumbfounded and frightened. Why was this happening? There were more than a hundred of them!
Everyone could only swallow their saliva and look at Ye Fan in unison. At this moment, Ye Fan, who felt that something was wrong, reacted. The Blue-Striped Leopard was a gregarious animal, the last roar of the Blue-Striped Leopard that was killed just now was probably to call for help, to call for its companions.
“We were careless. The Blue-Striped Leopard is a monster that lives in groups. It’s impossible for it to be alone. Therefore, this group of Blue-Striped Leopards was called over by the Blue-Striped Leopard just now.”
“There must be a Leopard King among this group of Blue-Striped Leopards. It looks the same as the other Blue-Striped Leopards, but the Leopard King is at the early-stage of Rank-8. It’s much stronger than ordinary Blue-Striped Leopards. Let’s find it and kill it first. Without the command of the king, the other Blue-Striped Leopards will be easy to deal with.”
After hearing Ye Fan’s analysis, everyone’s expressions became even more desperate. What should they do now? How could they be a match for a group of Blue-Striped Leopards? Even if their numbers doubled, they would not be able to leave safely.
Moreover, the Blue-Striped Leopards all looked the same. Who knew which one was Rank-8? Not only were there so many Rank-7s, but there was also a Rank-8. There was no way out!!
“Everyone, don’t panic. Don’t panic!” Xiao Xiao’s pale and weak words were slightly desperate at this moment.
Ye Fan summoned the Firmament King, Anissa, the Flower Sprite, and the Inferno Tyrant without hesitation.
It was already difficult to clear so many Blue-Striped Leopards. If they wanted to cross the bridge, they would probably have to deal with one side first.
“Let’s split up into two groups. You guys hold back the ones behind, I’ll deal with the Blue-Striped Leopard at the entrance first, we still have a chance to rush out.” Ye Fan said indifferently.
Unlike the others, Ye Fan’s expression and tone had always been calm, but it was also because of this that people felt more at ease.
“Alright, Xiao Wu, Zhang Xiong, you guys are in charge of covering up and not letting the Blue-Striped Leopards affect Ye Fan. The rest, kill them with me!”
“Yes, Captain!”
“Alright, Captain!”
Ye Fan first let the Firmament King fly up to find the Leopard King, then let the Inferno Tyrant go forward to fight and deal with the Blue-Striped Leopards in front of him. While protecting them, Anissa also aimed at the Blue-Striped Leopards to provide support in time.
The Flower Sprite, Rose, used its skills to reduce the damage of the Blue-Striped Leopards and increase the effect of its teammates’ skills. Xiao Xiao was impressed by Ye Fan’s proficiency. He didn’t expect him to have such an outstanding support-type pet that had advanced to Rank-7. Rank-7 support-type pets couldn’t be underestimated. Because support-type pets were very difficult to evolve and didn’t have any attack power, the upgrade was especially slow. How did he do it?
“Inferno Tyrant, use your domain to burn!” Ye Fan said.
The Inferno Tyrant hesitated for a second before quickly using its domain to directly burn the leopards in a large area. The wind blades of the leopards quickly blew the flames to the other side. They did not expect this Blue-Striped Leopard to have intelligence. Although it was not high, it was useful in battle. While Ye Fan was shocked, he found that the bridge was shaking violently. Although the bridge was made of iron chains and stone slabs and was different from the wooden planks from before, the Inferno Tyrant’s flames could burn everything. If the bridge burned, they would fall down. There was no lake below, but a quagmire.
No wonder the Inferno Tyrant hesitated just now. Ye Fan had no choice but to reconsider. He turned around and summoned the Seven Luminaries Beast to turn the quagmire into soil and flat ground. The Seven Luminaries Beast’s earth element power could do it in an instant, and the quagmire under the bridge instantly became flat ground. The Inferno Tyrant did not have to worry about anything else, and Xiao Wu’s phoenix could also be used.
The two pets used fire attacks almost at the same time to stop the Blue-Striped Leopard from approaching. Anissa continuously absorbed blood from the battlefield. After forming a blood ball, she shot it out. The blood ball hit a Blue-Striped Leopard like a tracking bullet. Where it hit, a hole directly opened, and blood kept flowing out.
At this time, more than half of the Blue-Striped Leopards had been killed. Finally, Ye Fan discovered that the leopards were all standing in front of an extremely ferocious leopard. This leopard looked at Ye Fan fiercely and finally attacked. A powerful air current and whirlwind moved over, as long as it touched his body, he would be minced into meat paste.
Ye Fan took a few steps back and let the Firmament King use the wind blade to directly split the tornado into two. The leopard king appeared, and after Ye Fan confirmed his target, the Firmament King stopped attacking the other Blue-Striped Leopards and pounced at the leopard king, waving its sharp claws and fighting it.
The Blue-Striped Leopard King’s level was higher than the Firmament King, but the Firmament King was not at a disadvantage at all. Every attack could perfectly hit the other party, but the Firmament King’s defense was much stronger than the Blue-Striped Leopard King’s.
On the other side, Xiao Xiao, who was in a bitter battle, planned to ask Ye Fan for help. Unexpectedly, Ye Fan had already found the Leopard King and the Leopard King was on par with Ye Fan’s pets. Anissa and the Inferno Tyrant fought more than thirty Blue-Striped Leopards as if they were chopping cabbages. The Flower Sprite sitting on Ye Fan’s shoulder only moved its fingers to increase the friends’ strength and weaken the Blue-Striped Leopards. The weakened Blue-Striped Leopards supported the battle as they retreated. It was completely one-sided by Ye Fan.
Ye Fan stood there calmly, directing the Firmament King to deal with the leopard king, as if he was playing chess, he did not feel any danger.
Xiao Xiao was dumbfounded, but the battle on his side was not optimistic. Several pets in the team were injured, and the Blue-Striped Leopard had barely been killed. He felt that it was about to reach his limit. If he could not hold on any longer, Ye Fan’s side would definitely be affected. In terms of pressure, Ye Fan had one more leopard king than them. How could they fall so quickly?
“Xiao Wu, let the phoenix attack the Blue-Striped Leopard at the back. Zhang Xiong, guard the line of defense and don’t let the Blue-Striped Leopard reach Ye Fan.”
“Yes!” The two of them agreed almost at the same time.
The bridge was not wide, only the width of five or six people. Therefore, when Ye Fan handed his back to them, they had to guard it well. Moreover, the five of them from the Hunter Group were in charge of the back. If Ye Fan dealt with the Blue-Striped Leopards alone, wouldn’t it be embarrassing if the Hunter Group couldn’t defend its line?
Xiao Xiao let the Frost Tyrannosaurus continue to attack. The Frost Tyrannosaurus and the Phoenix Bird cooperated very well, but the Blue-Striped Leopard’s attack was also very fast. They could only hold on bitterly, hoping that Ye Fan could quickly deal with the Leopard King.
