Beast Taming: the More the Better

Chapter 981 - 410: Crown Wolf Emperor vs. Green Demon Wolf Spirit! Insights Amid Battle! _3

And the real killing move was those Thorn Demons, swaying in a dance of Death!

Mutated Ancient Life Tree skill: ’Death Overdraft’!

[Death Overdraft: the extreme of Life and Death, overdraws all Life Force of the corresponding creature to gain a certain Death Attribute effect, and at the same time raises its Energy Realm by one to three Realms! Thirty seconds later, the target dies.]

This skill, on the surface, doesn’t look that impressive.

After all, if it’s only used on cannon-fodder Pet Beasts, it’s not very meaningful.

But with the Crown Wolf Emperor’s ’Sprouts and Seeds’ around, it could summon an unimaginable number of Thorn Demons.

Plus ’Jungle Carnival’, this combo of Skills from two different Pet Beasts might even be more terrifying than Chen Zhan’s Super-Rank Skill ’Wind Domain’.

The pitch-black Thorn Demons lashed their thorns, turning into tentacles of Death.

The Death Element is the most terrifying Attribute of all, maybe even with no "one of"; compared to the Poison Type, Death’s instant-kill effect can slaughter even Undead Type and Elemental Type Pet Beasts!

And now, under the summons of Jungle Carnival, a hundred meters away, the Crown Wolf Emperor dancing gracefully in ’casting’, one Thorn seed after another turned into swaying Thorn Demons.

After a mere three seconds of growth, under that Life Ancient Tree’s Death Overdraft, these Thorn Demons became like the strongest Death weapons rolling off an assembly line!

They launched wave after wave of suicidal charges at the opponent.

If it weren’t for Su Ping’s Paperman being too big a threat...

With Qin Xiaoxue’s kind of positional-warfare Ability, almost no one would be able to break through her; instead, they’d only be broken by her!

Su Ping, with a charge like this, your Paperman has to make a move now, right?

Qin Xiaoxue looked at Su Ping in the distance, a glint flashing in her eyes.

She was the only contestant who knew that Su Ping’s Paperman didn’t need to stand there stupidly Charging Power; it could fire at any time.

However, to Qin Xiaoxue’s surprise, Su Ping seemed to have sensed her intent. He smiled slightly, then waved his hand and did something she never expected!

One of the three Green Demon Wolf Spirits charged straight toward the rapidly approaching Death Thorn army, pouncing without hesitation!

’Planning to sacrifice a clone to block? As if it were that easy?!’

Yet the moment that thought appeared, even with Qin Xiaoxue’s composure, she froze for a second.

The Death Thorn Demon combo she relied on, those terrifying Death-tentacle thorns, passed through the Green Demon Wolf Spirit’s body without causing the slightest effect!

Instead, on the Green Demon Wolf Spirit’s claw, blazing like Flame, a cyan light flashed, and the dozen or so Death Thorn Demons that had gathered there were directly melted into a pool of pus under that irresistible Poison!

The Death Element is invalid?

How is that possible?!

Not only Qin Xiaoxue, but even the people on the commentator’s platform gasped:

"The always-effective Death Thorn combo got broken for the first time by a frontal assault from the opponent! It can actually ignore the Death Element’s Trait attacks?"

"How was this Wolf Pet even trained?"

The strength of the Green Demon Body came from the Wood Element Poison Type derivative Legendary Resources, the Biyao Chunshen’s Ability.

The most crucial passive effect among them was ignoring the vast majority of instant-death Abilities.

Bearing Traits from Legendary Resources of the Wood Element Life System, it naturally had absolute suppression over Death Element Abilities.

Before Qin Xiaoxue could react—

Another message came through in Woodhead’s Soul Contract.

At the same time, four figures instantly doubled back; the figures that had originally been pinned down turned and charged toward Qin Xiaoxue.

Wood Clone!

They’d actually been controlled by the opponent?

This...

Fortunately, once they drew close again to the Crown Wolf Emperor’s side, Woodhead regained control over the four clones. But inside its body, the constantly struggling Poison made control extremely difficult.

Even with the Domination Halo, it was still like this.

It even made maintaining Jungle Carnival noticeably harder!

’Woodhead, retract the Wood Clone!’

Qin Xiaoxue could only frown and give the order.

The four Wood Clones vanished as expected. After all, this clone Ability belonged to the Crown Wolf Emperor itself; even if the Poison of the Green Demon could forcibly control all Wood Element creatures, there was still a bottom line.

However, this had obviously played right into Su Ping’s trap!

The terrifying toxicity of the Poison of the Green Demon, linked between clone and body, instantly flowed back from the Wood Clones into Tree Crown Wolf King Woodhead’s body.

The originally bluish-green fur now showed purple vein-like lines crawling across its body like blood vessels.

Woodhead’s heartbeat grew more and more labored in that instant.

Fooled, poisoned!

Qin Xiaoxue’s frown tightened even more.

She knew that if this went on, never mind waiting for the Paperman Qianyi to act—

It was uncertain whether Woodhead could even hold out until that Time.

So, should she use one of her trump cards?

But even if she did...

Qin Xiaoxue looked at Qianyi, whose body was glowing brighter and brighter, and let out a helpless sigh.

Forget it.

She knew that if her Xian’er took action and used that Super-Rank Skill, it could indeed turn the tide right now.

But it wouldn’t mean much!

Because Su Ping’s Paperman still hadn’t acted.

Even if she forced it to act now, the final outcome wouldn’t change. Better to, at this moment, save both sides from exposing their trump cards, let herself safely enter the top five, and make Su Ping’s top-three spot even more solid!

Yet just as Qin Xiaoxue was about to raise her hand and admit defeat, a wolf howl filled with unwillingness suddenly rang out!

It didn’t come from Xiao Qing, but from Woodhead in front of her.

"Awoo!"

The howl was crisp and clear.

In Woodhead’s almost entirely purple eyes, there was nothing but unwillingness!

Then, countless saplings and vines under its feet, countless Thorn Demons, suddenly burst open.

At the same time, a radiance blossomed from its body!

This is... comprehending a Skill?

Woodhead can still comprehend Skills? Qin Xiaoxue was stunned.

The next second, she hurriedly used the Soul Contract, extending her Perception toward this little guy’s newly appeared Skill!

At the same time, Su Ping’s Spirit Vision Eye also locked onto Woodhead at this moment, his brows slowly furrowing.

This was clearly the other Skill that had appeared back when the Crown Wolf Emperor completed its Evolution in the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas, the one that hadn’t manifested on the Crown Wolf Emperor until now:

’Super·Thorn Garden’
