As usual, Xiao Mei and Xie Xie were responsible for detecting the presence of the Storm Rocs using the Spirit Bees and golden baby scorpions. Huan Huan and Zhizhi were in charge of protecting them. Meanwhile, Xiao Lan was tasked with summoning snowflakes to freeze the surrounding air, making it difficult for the Storm Rocs to move. Feng Huang and Tian Tian combined their powers, water and lightning respectively, so that their explosive synergy caused the Storm Rocs struck by them to scream in pain.
Meanwhile, Hong Zuan’s red thunder lightning combined with his venomous fangs made for a deadly assault against the Storm Rocs. Each strike was like a guaranteed hit; one attack, one injured.
Bing Xue had initially joined the battle but later retreated. These Storm Rocs were enough for Hong Zuan and the others to handle. Instead, he focused his gaze on Shenlian Yingyue’s slender figure, who was deeply immersed in trying out a new skill.
Xiao Nian was the most relaxed among them. As the king of slimes, she simply had to control the slimes to attack the Storm Rocs while she stood beside Shenlian Yingyue.
The slimes’ abilities had many versatile functions. They could act as acidic secretions, capable of melting flesh, armor, and even metal on contact. They could use digestive engulfment, partially or fully engulfing prey, drowning and dissolving them slowly. There were also toxic splatters that sprayed corrosive slime over a wide area.
Most importantly, after Xiao Nian’s evolution, she had acquired the ability to summon slimes in three elemental forms: Electric Slimes, which delivered paralyzing shocks; Frozen Slimes, which froze prey on contact; and Explosive Slimes, which detonated with a corrosive burst.
As Xiao Nian’s master, Shenlian Yingyue naturally had access to some of her abilities. Since they had formed a soul contract, she could use the skills of her own beast companions.
Until now, Shenlian Yingyue had never used the skills of her companions. But today, she decided to give it a try.
She chose Xiao Nian’s slime skill. With a flick of her finger, two Frozen Slimes were summoned. They shot forward like icy bullets and froze two Storm Rocs in less than the blink of an eye.
"Wow, Master, you’re more powerful than me when using my skill!" The scene left Xiao Nian wide-eyed with admiration.
"You flatter me, Xiao Nian," Shenlian Yingyue replied with a helpless smile. The others may not have known, but she was well aware, although her overall strength surpassed that of her companions, beasts, their skills in specific areas were on another level altogether.
She glanced at everyone around her, and her lips twitched involuntarily. It was undeniable; each of them possessed extraordinary strength and unique abilities, showcasing a variety of powers that pushed the Storm Rocs into an increasingly desperate situation.
If she hadn’t ordered them to refrain from killing, these Storm Rocs would have been long dead by now.
Ten minutes later, the one hundred Storm Rocs collapsed, nearly breathless. They had clearly surrendered. In truth, they could have called upon reinforcements from their clan to retaliate, but after witnessing the unmatched abilities of Shenlian Yingyue’s group, they quickly abandoned the idea of revenge.
Forget it. These people hadn’t killed their comrades or kin. They were powerful, yes, but not arrogant. And how many in the world would spare their enemies when given the chance?
