Chapter 144: Chapter 116: Great Righteousness, Hunting Flood Dragons, Saliva [Five-in-One Mega Chapter]_5
Their preparation was exceedingly thorough; they followed Xia Hong’s orders to the letter without exception, except for the unexpected early awakening of Teng Jiao.
It was likely more than just a little early!
It silently wound its body around the three large trees they were climbing, without them detecting the slightest movement.
This Teng Jiao awoke much earlier than I anticipated.
When did it wake... When did Teng Jiao wake up...
Xia Hong had no time to consider this question now. The moment he drew the giant axe and charged forward, he realized this hunt was likely far more challenging than expected.
Roar...
Crack... Crack... Crack... Crack...
Indeed, as he had anticipated, Teng Jiao let out a roar, and its thirty-meter-long body suddenly exerted immense power, with the sounds of four trees breaking one after another.
The three trees where the seven of them were perched, along with the one Teng Jiao was coiling around, four trees in total, each over six meters in diameter, snapped directly.
The meticulously prepared six people, including Xia Hong, who knew in advance, saw their efforts go to waste.
As the trees collapsed, Xia Hong halted his charge, retracted the giant axe, grabbed onto the tree trunk, and leapt away in the direction of the fall.
Xia Chuan, Luo Yuan, and Yuan Cheng also fell from the trees; although the Black Arrows of Zhao Long and his brothers were launched, their footing was unsteady, significantly compromising their accuracy, falling far short of hitting Teng Jiao’s eyes.
Bang... Bang...
"Scatter, find your own opportunities!"
The four trees crashed in batches, with two loud crashes, and after dodging, Xia Hong shouted to the other six people and charged straight at Teng Jiao, who also landed on the ground.
Whoosh...
The giant axe shook the air, emitting a whooshing sound that made Teng Jiao’s pupils contract slightly, seemingly able to sense the immense power within Xia Hong. Teng Jiao’s ferocity was also gradually being stimulated, its immense body twisting and turning rapidly, quickly freeing itself from the collapsing trees.
Teng Jiao’s abdomen contracted, its upper body rose from the ground, and with an angry roar, its massive tail whipped up a gale as it swept horizontally towards Xia Hong.
Whoosh... Whoosh... Whoosh...
Several sharp arrows sped in from the flanks, precisely from the now-recovered Zhao Long and his brothers. They launched arrows continuously, releasing more than a dozen shots in three or four breaths, all targeting Teng Jiao’s eyes.
At the same time, on the other side, Xia Chuan stood atop a broken tree trunk, his hand deftly maneuvering the White Thread as he darted left and right around Teng Jiao’s body;
Luo Yuan and Yuan Cheng preferred a direct assault, with both wielding large knives from left to right, charging towards the base of Teng Jiao’s upright form.
Amidst dealing with so many attacks, Teng Jiao’s sweeping strike towards Xia Hong was no longer as formidable as before, and needing to evade arrows and shift its body, Teng Jiao even showed signs of withdrawing its tail.
"Did I permit you to withdraw it?"
Xia Hong, ready to withstand with the giant axe, fixed his gaze. Having been pursued by the Rodent swarm earlier, he was already aware of Teng Jiao’s strength, and he didn’t consider this sweep much of a threat; instead, he wanted to use Teng Jiao’s power for a strike of his own.
To his surprise, Teng Jiao was forced back by the other six.
Caught off guard, Xia Hong was not going to let it go, nor could he stand by while Teng Jiao escaped the six others’ attacks so easily.
The double-edged giant axe cut a fierce wind in the air as Xia Hong charged forward, seemingly gaining some momentum from the axe, his body reaching peak speed, catching up with Teng Jiao’s withdrawing giant tail instantly.
As he neared Teng Jiao’s body, Xia Hong spun with the axe, raising it high and striking down from above.
Wham...
This powerful axe swing, nearly containing the limit of his bodily strength, emitted a fierce whistle, the cold gleam from the double-edged blade strikingly visible in the night.
Shi...
The giant axe, inevitably, cleaved into Teng Jiao’s tail, which hadn’t yet withdrawn.
Green blood spurted several meters high, and Xia Hong could clearly feel that the bones in Teng Jiao’s tail had no resistance against the giant axe, directly fracturing.
This one axe actually cleaved straight through Teng Jiao’s body, with seven or eight meters of tail severed, leaving a deep mark on the ground.
"Double-edged blade, with a radius of seventy-five centimeters each; your bulk may be large, but in the face of this giant axe, it’s still not enough!"
Taking a deep breath, Xia Hong looked at the severed Teng Jiao with a hint of coldness in his eyes; this giant axe wasn’t just aimed at Teng Jiao.
It could be said it was tailor-made for massive prey.
Roar...
The sound of the injured Teng Jiao now carried a trace of alarm, no longer as aggressive as before.
Clearly, it hadn’t expected Xia Hong’s power to be so formidable.
Following Xia Hong’s strike, Teng Jiao was met with even more precise and intense attacks from the other six people.
With Black Arrows whizzing by, Zhao Long and his brothers nearly emptied the Arrow Quiver on their backs in one go. Although Teng Jiao struggled desperately to retreat, barely avoiding the arrows, many still hit its forehead and body.
The large knives of Luo Yuan and Yuan Cheng were already shearing Teng Jiao’s body, and as Teng Jiao’s body flipped over, they constantly shifted positions to inflict maximum harm with their knives.
Having exhausted their arrows, Zhao Long and his brothers also drew their knives and joined the fray, pushing back Teng Jiao, who was already overwhelmed, into a constant retreat.
