Cotton, being Dou Yanlan’s first Beast Tamer creature and trained specifically for auxiliary combat, was able to suppress the Tyrant Sea Snake using its own attributes, even crossing so many levels.
However, this situation affirmed Dou Yanlan’s hypothesis as correct!
The Tyrant Sea Snake was never meant to be an attacker!
Qi Chen didn’t understand all this, but he didn’t underestimate the Snowstorm Spirit Elephant either—after all, even as a tank, it was a Legendary-level tank, not something they could look down upon.
Yet, how to combat the Snowstorm Spirit Elephant without using Mythical Transformation is indeed a problem because of its exaggerated growth in health points, previous methods were ineffective.
Even if real damage could be dealt, the difference in level was there, and if the damage value wasn’t significant, what was the point?
Not considering any peculiar moves, Ah Mu lacked the means to take out the Snowstorm Spirit Elephant in one blow, or in other words, even if replacing him with War Qi Chen, he would find facing the Snowstorm Spirit Elephant troublesome, despite having a Legendary-level Beast Tamer.
There’s no way around it, an opponent with thick skin, especially one wielding weather, isn’t easy to deal with.
"Yanlan wouldn’t ask me to do the impossible, so surely I have a way to deal with the Snowstorm Spirit Elephant. What could it be?"
Staring at the approaching giant elephant, Qi Chen murmured under his breath. The Hao Chun Bird perched atop the Amu Tree Crown was ready to strike, and although due to its racial traits, it couldn’t provide defense for Ah Mu, Ah Mu wasn’t short of defensive means.
"Wait, could it be that the Spirit Beast from the Qi Realm doesn’t have its original attributes...?"
Watching the Snowstorm Spirit Elephant stir up a blizzard, Qi Chen’s heart skipped a beat, and if that were the case...
"They don’t plan on using Mythical Transformation, seems they’re saving it for the last moment."
Veronia chuckled lightly, glancing at Feng Yuan and rolling her eyes. Feng Yuan replied irritably,
"So what?"
"Aren’t you curious how they’re planning to deal with the Snowstorm Spirit Elephant? Even if the Tyrant Sea Snake is held up by Cotton, Cotton can’t indefinitely restrain a Legendary-level Tyrant Sea Snake."
"Come on, don’t tell me you can’t see the issue with that Tyrant Sea Snake; although normally it’s an attacker, that one..."
Gazing at the Tyrant Sea Snake continuously sparring with Cotton, Feng Yuan squinted slightly and said,
"Its alignment is consistent with Cotton’s; otherwise, the fight wouldn’t be going this way. In this situation, what do you think the Snowstorm Spirit Elephant’s alignment would be? If we were to bet, Ah Mu might not be incapable of heavily injuring the Snowstorm Spirit Elephant, if it knew that type of ultimate move."
Feng Yuan didn’t know what ultimate moves Ah Mu currently mastered since it wasn’t his Beast Tamer creature, he couldn’t always pay attention. Although theoretically, Ah Mu would surely learn that type of ultimate move, it wasn’t yet time to patch up deficiencies.
Both Ah Mu and Qi Chen were still rapidly ascending in strength, and during this period, enhancing direct power was paramount, and learning a variety of ultimate moves might not be feasible.
After all, it’s not Xiao Ji, capable of reaching growth limits automatically at each stage, otherwise Xiao Ji wouldn’t have had so much time to learn various and sundry ultimate moves.
Even so, Xiao Ji’s control over ultimate moves still gives Feng Yuan a headache compared to the mastery of ultimate moves; Xiao Ji’s control is often limited to usage, but the control once unleashed, is beyond its grasp.
Apparently sensing that Feng Yuan was thinking poorly of it, Xiao Ji suddenly lifted its head to look at Feng Yuan, but seeing nothing apparent on his face, Xiao Ji suspiciously glanced around.
"You’re immediately settling that the Snowstorm Spirit Elephant would change its direction like that?"
Veronia chuckled and said, making a face, while Feng Yuan couldn’t be bothered to argue with her, at this point under Qi Chen’s orders, Ah Mu began to react.
Emerald balls of light floated beside it, enhancing the power and effect of the Wrath of the Forest Spirit with the strength from Forest Domain, while the Hao Chun Bird reinforced the Wrath of the Forest Spirit with its own ultimate moves.
"It seems, it hasn’t learned that type of ultimate move,"
Seeing Ah Mu’s approach, Veronia remarked surprised, yet Feng Yuan remained silent, uncertain whether this was true because Qi Chen’s battle intuition wouldn’t lead him to make such a choice.
The Snowstorm Spirit Elephant gave a long howl, accelerating suddenly, and the blizzard rapidly condensed into a protective barrier around it like spinning blades, forcing Ah Mu to unleash the Wrath of the Forest Spirit before the Snowstorm Spirit Elephant could approach.
The howling blizzard fiercely sliced everything around, its intense destructive force even shattered the Forest Domain, however, unlike common domain-enhanced ultimate moves where the amplification vanishes once in the Crystal Domain, the Wrath of the Forest Spirit unexpectedly grew larger at this time.
The emerald orb converged into an ancient gigantic Tree Man hammering the Snowstorm Spirit Elephant, and the terrifying impact not only slammed into the barrier raised by Xing Bo, but also prompted Cotton and the Tyrant Sea Snake’s battle to pause.
With the dust settling, Ah Mu’s condition was not great; the shock produced from both ultimate moves colliding made Ah Mu look quite ragged, with most of the crown’s branches broken and falling, even the Hao Chun Bird’s feathers were ruffled.
However, the Snowstorm Spirit Elephant was in similar condition, its fur showing noticeable damage, though compared to Ah Mu, the Snowstorm Spirit Elephant appeared less disheveled.
"Head-on collision, even if the collapse of the Forest Domain further enhances the Wrath of the Forest Spirit’s effect, Ah Mu might not outlast the Snowstorm Spirit Elephant,"
Watching the Hao Chun Bird unfold the Forest Domain and Ah Mu start a rapid recovery using ultimate moves, Feng Yuan muttered puzzled, even though Ah Mu could recover, how many times could it employ such an attack strategy?
Ah Mu indeed had abundant internal energy, but after all, it’s just a Good Level Beast Tamer creature, it couldn’t possibly surpass the internal energy total of a Legendary-level Beast Tamer.
Healing Moves can restore injuries but not replenish consumed energy; after all, even Divine Beasts rely on special rules to achieve near-infinite energy for combat.
In a battle of attrition, Feng Yuan isn’t optimistic about Ah Mu’s chances, even Xiao Ji couldn’t perform a battle of attrition across such a vast range unless utilizing the special strength of Divine Beasts.
Feng Yuan believes Qi Chen undoubtedly realized this point; so, what is he trying to do?
Perhaps due to the injuries sustained while clashing with Ah Mu, the Snowstorm Spirit Elephant was visibly enraged, incessantly howling, and the surrounding blizzard grew more concentrated, appearing as if it was a moving snow wall from afar.
Clenching his fists, Qi Chen was tense, wondering if this would work based on his command, prompting Ah Mu and the Hao Chun Bird to take action again.
This time, it was still Wrath of the Forest Spirit, and observing this made Feng Yuan furrow his brows since the Snowstorm Spirit Elephant clearly went berserk, using Wrath of the Forest Spirit at this moment seemed futile.
Summoning The Black Scythe, Feng Yuan prepared for Qi Chen’s defeat, despite the possibility, it wasn’t deemed particularly high.
Accordingly, Feng Yuan did not rush to intervene, opting to wait for the outcome of this clash.
The snow wall quickly pressed towards Ah Mu, the Forest Domain predictably shattered again, yet this time the Wrath of the Forest Spirit failed to fend off the terrifying snow wall.
The level disparity was excessively large, causing them to use desperate measures; Ah Mu couldn’t prevent the opponent’s attack.
The blizzard intensified once more, bearing an irresistible might of oppression towards Ah Mu, yet Feng Yuan noticed a transparent barrier rapidly flickered into existence and disappeared before being engulfed by the snow wall.
Qi Chen was overly anxious since he didn’t know whether this plan would succeed but this was the best response he could devise.
The white light pierced through the thick blizzard wall, accompanied by the Snowstorm Spirit Elephant’s wailing, the overwhelming blizzard abruptly began to disperse; witnessing this, Qi Chen realized his palms were drenched in sweat.
Although the Snowstorm Spirit Elephant was probably finished, it was uncertain if Ah Mu and the others were unharmed.
Looking at the severely damaged Ah Mu and the Hao Chun Bird, Qi Chen sighed in relief, for at this moment the Forest Domain was reconstituted, bathing Ah Mu and the Hao Chun Bird in emerald light, swiftly mending their wounds.
Dou Yanlan seeing this paused in thought before commanding Cotton to continue restraining the Tyrant Sea Snake, as although the Snowstorm Spirit Elephant was resolved, dealing with the Tyrant Sea Snake wasn’t possible.
Given the backlash from this attack, Ah Mu temporarily lost its fighting capability.
