Chapter 840: Chapter 844: The Fourth Trial 17
But these four Long Tooth Beasts still had their Spider Legs intact, and unlike the previous two that had their legs chopped off, they couldn’t just stand by and let themselves be slaughtered.
So when the Long Tooth Beasts sensed that sharp weapons were coming towards their eyes, they directly swatted them away with their Spider Legs.
However, due to the large number of silver needles and their close proximity, a few still managed to get through towards their eyes.
"Hiss hiss—"
The two Long Tooth Beasts that were hit in the eyes twisted furiously, hissing in anger.
The intense pain caused them to enter a frenzied state instantly, with their deadly Spider Legs raised high, they launched indiscriminate attacks on Gaiyin and his companions.
"Vines, bind!"
Xi’en stood a little farther away, releasing many Vine tendrils from the palm of his hand that rapidly entwined around the rampaging Long Tooth Beasts.
The continuous loss of Primordial Power from within his body made his complexion grow paler, with large beads of sweat rolling down his forehead.
But even though Xi’en was giving it his all, his vines were as fragile as blades of grass in front of the rampaging Long Tooth Beasts, snapping at the slightest pull.
"It’s no use, I can’t stop it!"
Xi’en panted, somewhat out of strength.
In the first battle, he had exhausted himself the most and hadn’t recovered, and now he was forcefully using his Superpower, causing all the meridians in his body to ache faintly.
To the Long Tooth Beasts, Xi’en’s actions were nothing but provocation.
Consequently, one of them abandoned its attack on the front-facing Gaiyin and turned to crawl towards Xi’en, who appeared to pose less of a threat.
Gaiyin’s face darkened, and he shouted loudly, "Get out of the way quickly!"
Xi’en also noticed the Long Tooth Beast coming at him, making his already pale face turn even paler.
He could hear the whooshing sound of the deadly weapon by his ear, the sharp and ice-cold Spider Legs stabbing straight towards him.
He suppressed his wildly beating heart, gathering all his strength in his legs, and in the second before the Spider Legs stabbed down, he leaped away.
"Pfft—"
The sound of flesh tearing apart.
Xi’en clutched his left shoulder, which had been sliced open with a long gash, and cried out in pain, blood gurgling out incessantly through his fingers.
He had dodged one leg of the Long Tooth Beast, but closely following it were the second, third, and fourth legs. A moment of inattentiveness resulted in his injuries.
Luckily, Gaiyin arrived in time to entangle and struggle with it, allowing Xi’en to escape.
His steps unsteady, he walked toward a corner, the severe pain causing sweat to pour from his forehead and darkness to flicker before his eyes.
Eventually, Xi’en staggered and collapsed on the ground, motionless.
The blood quickly soaked the area red. Stirred by the scent of blood, the Long Tooth Beasts became increasingly excited, as if growing more valiant with the battle.
Su Tang, hidden within the protective shield, was also extremely anxious. She glanced at the few who were fiercely fighting, then at Xi’en, who had fallen not too far from her.
She hesitated for a moment before turning to look at Qiu Mo.
Yet she didn’t know how to start talking.
Qiu Mo patted Su Tang’s shoulder and said, "Tangtang, let’s quickly bring Xi’en back, and we need to stop the bleeding fast. Otherwise, if he keeps bleeding like this, he will soon be meeting the Beast God."
Su Tang nodded, put away the protective shield, and the two swiftly ran towards Xi’en.
Xi’en’s injuries were quite serious, and judging by the flow of blood, he might have suffered damage to a major artery.
Fortunately, the blood that flowed was bright red, not looking poisoned.
Su Tang didn’t dare move him carelessly and could only proceed to stop the bleeding on the spot.
"Momo, it’s dangerous here. Go wait to the side for me. Once I’ve stemmed his bleeding, I’ll call you over," she said.
