Chapter 116: Fighting The me King Hippopotamus!


    Hahaha you fucking retards! You didnt even think of how the hell you were going to fight this stupid thing! Hu Taoughed at them without restraint, embarrassing and annoying them at the same time.


    Get behind me! Bing yelled as he brought his shield forward.


    Lei Zhi and Ying hurried behind him. Lei already unhooked his fishing hook from the hippos thick hide. The bloody mark left by Leis hook sent the animal into a rage. It spit a bubble ofva towards the group which Bing hoped his shield would be able to deal with. Bing used the Art of Deflection in his shield art manual to handle theva bubble instead of trying to block it head on like he was thinking of doing earlier. He did this in case his shield wouldnt be enough to handle the dangerously hot temperatures of the qi attack along with if he couldnt handle the temperatures either. If his shield got coated inva, it would almost be the same as him holdingva in his hands! The shield strap was attached to his arm as well, you know!


    The bubble ofva was harmlessly deflected away from their group and everyones mind started racing to figure out how to fight this thing while its submerged inva.


    Can you fish it over here? Ying asked.


    I can try. Lei responded as he sent his fishing hook in a long arc towards the me Hippo King.


    The 1ststage Qi Consolidation beast nimbly swam out of the way of his hook, remembering that it was that thing that forcefully dragged it to the surface. Lei never tried fishing for something that wanted to avoid his rod. Seeing the huge creature dodge his hook inspired the fisherman pride dwelling within him. He had to capture this creature with his fishing pole or he wouldnt be satisfied!


    Lei Zhi removed himself from under Bings protection and added a curve to his throw this time around. The sharp metal hook swung through the air towards the hippo who decided to sink down below the surface of the magmake. With a skilled shake of his wrist, Leis hook change directions and headed straight down into theva for the me king. Ying could be seen crouched over theva pool attempting to used her body martial art, Physique of the Inferno, to strengthen her body. Physique of the Inferno allowed Ying to bring foreign fire qi into her body to strengthen it. By strengthening her body with thisva, she should be able to withstand it. Or at least thats what she was thinking should happen.


    Son of a! Yings shrill scream after burning the hell out of her hand was overpowered by the sound of the me King Hippos roar.


    Lei Zhi managed to hook it in the behind and was now dragging it onto the rockynd. Everyone quickly moved out of the way of the behemoth so that they didnt get crushed by its enormous weight and size. Hu Tao stared at his allies battle while hanging upside down on the caves wall. Ever since Jing gave him that gift in the Treasured ins, hes been able to do this along with a couple of other unexinable things. Something like this could be exined with a special bloodline but you couldnt gift people bloodlines. As far as Hu Tao knew anyway. You were born with it or you just didnt have one.


    Watch out Hu Tao! Bing warned.


    Hu Tao unconsciously swayed his head out of the way of the soaring hippopotamus. Itnded with a heavy crash onto the rocky caverns and Bing and Ying moved in together to deal a blow to the momentarily incapacitated spirit beast. Ying rose her de overhead and swung down with a mighty swing, splitting the air as Hao Gang came down. Bing leapt into the air with his shield and aimed to crash straight on top of the mammals head with his heavy weight and powerful physique. Both of their attacksnded but only one did any significant damage.


    Yingsgreatswordshed a deep gash into the side of the beast. One could even see its insides from the wound but just this single sh wasnt enough to take out the me king who erupted in magnificent mes after being wounded by Ying. Bing was blown away by the force of the fire while Ying contested with her mystic mes, the Frost mes. Lei Zhi hooked Bings shirt before he could take a dip in thevake for himself, saving the round boy from a terrible agonizing slow and painful death.


    Thanks Lei... Sweat dripped from all of his pores.


    Dont forget its a Qi Consolidation beast. It can project its qi at a range at that realm. He warned.


    Yeah, no kidding... Bing had no way of hurting this beast at his current stage.


    A 6thstage Qi Gatherer attempting to take on a 1ststage Qi Consolidator in any form would be seen as insane! Bing didnt understand why Ying thought they would be able to take on this spirit beast with their pitiful strength. A 6thstage, 7thstage, and an 8thstage Qi Gather going against someone in a higher realm would only be subjecting themselves to death. She must have had a n, right?


    It was at this point that Bing felt like curling up into a ball and rocking back and forth. It was Ying he was talking about. Of course, she didnt have some n for if they couldnt take down this hippo. The thought of failure must have never across her mind. He shouldve been smarter than to leave the nning of this task all to Ying. Just trusting her blindly like that was going to get them killed eventually.


    Lets calm down for a second Bing... That injury Ying gave it looks pretty bad. If she could do that a couple more times, theres a chance that it could die. As long as I protect her, we should be able to slowly kill this thing. Bing pped his cheeks hard, causing them to jiggle. It was do or die time.


    Yings Frost mes didnt do as well as she thought theyd do against the me kings fire. It was taking most of her qi just to resist being blown away just like Bing. The remaining portion was used to try and freeze the hippos huge body to no avail. It was better than her in both qi quantity and strength.


    While this situation was bad for her, it was also great for her at the same time! Ying stopped trying to cover the spirit beast in her Frost mes and instead attempted to try and channel her auxiliary art. Her entire goal for epting this task was to try and understand the nature of fire better. What better way of understanding fire was there than to directly taste the mes of the me KingHippopotamus?!


    Your fire is mine! Ying yelled proudly.


    The bright red aura covering every inch of her bodypped, slurped, and tasted the mesing towards her. If there was some secret inside these mes or in the way that they were used, then Ying was definitely going to find out! Her skin heated up and started to burn from the contact with the me Kings fire but she didnt stop her auxiliary art. She saw Bing about toe towards her but stopped him with a wave of her hand and a re.


    Just wait a couple more seconds! The mes started to consume her as she devoured the knowledge hidden within the mes.


    Sorry about this Ying! Bing used Swift Devil and grabbed Ying before all of her was burnt to a crisp.


    The two of them traveled across the other side of the cavern and managed to avoid being burned alive. A tuft of Bings blue hair caught fire but the damage to Yings body was more important than that little me. It looked like whatever she was doing distracted her from the pain her body was going through because she still hasnt processed the burns going up and down her body. Ah, she just looked down and realized the extent of her injuries.


    Bings ears were momentarily blown out from Yings scream of realization. With his face scrunched up in pain, he fed Ying an excellent grade recovery pill as she was screaming. This stopped her screaming for a moment and then Bing looked into her eyes. She looked back and he only had one thing to tell her.


    Please heal up before I die, alright? Me and Lei cant kill this thing without you. Ill try my best to distract it and stay alive but you have to kill it. Bing was too distracted to see the blush on Yings face. This isnt the first time he had to stall a spirit beast after Ying was injured from it.


    Heid her down before she could say anything and headed straight towards the me King Hippopotamus. Leaving her unable to protest orin about anything. Ying wanted to tell him that she was fine and could still fight but after feeling the injuries to her body, she''d only get in the way. The recovery pills numbed the pain quite a bit but it wasnt enough to allow her to get back into the fight.


    Damn you suck ass Princess. Hu Tao suddenly dropped down next to her.


    She groaned loudly before telling him to go away as loud as possible.


    You onlynded one blow on the fat shit before almost dying. Thats kind of fucking sad, dont you think? He continued despite her protests.


    If it was me outthere,I wouldve kicked its ass before it even knew what was happening. Hell, in theva or out of theva. It would only be able to die against me. Even if I restrained my qi to the 8thstage like you. He didnt let up, forcing Ying into concentrating all her power into recovering so that she could get away from Hu Tao who only wanted to rile her up and mock her.


    I wish the worst for you... She cursed.
