Chapter 111: : Its Name is Celeste, Komodo Dragon

Chapter 111: Its Name is Celeste, Komodo Dragon

“Over there, about twenty-six Goldenback Bullwolves!”

Three minutes later, the Goldenback Bullwolf pack was exterminated .

…

“A group of Goldenhorn Ants are four kilometers away from here . There are about thirty-three of them!”

Five minutes later, the Goldenhorn Ants were exterminated .

…

“A huge number of Bloodthirster Red Ants are six kilometers away . Those things look appetizing!”

Six minutes later, the colony of Bloodthirster Red Ants was wiped out .

…

Mob hunting mode started as Ling Jiu brought two girls deep into the wilderness to target Class-Six Direbeasts .

It took the team an average of fifteen minutes to kill a group of Class-Six Direbeasts . In a day, they killed ten groups of these Direbeasts, over three hundred of them .

It stunned Yang Ling-er and Ai Yuhe . They did not know that Class-Six Direbeasts could be killed this way .

Being small fries in Ling Jiu’s team, they got no chance to kill Direbeasts themselves . Even if they had, they could not outdo Ling Jiu .

Ling Jiu’s action was so quick that he killed Class-Six Direbeasts as if he were chopping vegetables .

Quantity?

What was that?

With the ability to teleport himself instantly, the more Class-Six Direbeasts available out there, the more brutal and efficient his killing would be .

The two girls finally figured out why Ling Jiu always got the top spot, and his score was always one million points more than the one behind him .

At Ling Jiu’s speed, leading by over one million points was a piece a cake .

Previously, when Ling Jiu said he just was taking it easy, they believed him . They knew he was not trying to show off, but it was just the way he was .

That night, the three of them had their hearty dinner together on the airship . Ai Yuhe was the chef while the Ling siblings helped . Five dishes—two meat dishes and three veggies—and a soup were a perfect match for the fragrant rice .

“How many arcana do you have, really, Ling Jiu?”

Over the dinner, Ai Yuhe finally asked the question that had been baffling her for a long time .

“You have shown Metal and Fire Manipulations, and Teleportation abilities in the battle earlier today . Coupled with Gravity Arcana, Earth Manipulation, and Tungsten Form, you have six arcanas . Why do you have so many arcana?”

“If you really want to get to the bottom of things, I am going to leave you out of this!” Ling Jiu glanced at her . “Aren’t you not happy with the current arrangement—making light work of things and getting a handsome share of the harvest?”

“You…”

Ai Yuhe was upset, really wanting to stand up and bang the table and walk out to show that she had backbone . But she back downed at the thought of the top three positions that were already at her fingertips .

Yang Ling-er was laughing her head off on one side .

“See, Ling-er, you brother is bullying me . You just sit by and watch?” Ai Yuhe pouted .

“Err…”

MEOW…

Just then, there was a cat meowing . The two girls stopped talking abruptly . As they turned their eyes towards the sound, they saw a Celestial Magical Cat .

“T-This is—”

The two girls got to their feet abruptly, face pale . “Gosh! A Celestial Magical Cat! It’s a Celestial Magical Cat!”

“Damn it! How could a Direbeast as terrifying as the Celestial Magical Cat appear here?”

“Fret not!”

Ling Jiu tried to calm them down with a smile . He then got up and walked towards the Celestial Magical Cat .

“Don’t go over there, Ling Jiu!”

“Come back, Ling Jiu!”

The two girls called out anxiously .

“It is all right . ”

Ling Jiu gave them a smile, walked up to the Celestial Magical Cat, and patted it on the furry head under their watchful eyes .

The Celestial Magical Cat seemed to enjoy his pampering as it licked his hand affectionately .

“What is going on here?”

The jaws of the two girls almost dropped to the floor . Was this really a Celestial Magical Cat, not a domestic one?

“This is my cat . ”

Ling Jiu grinned as he tore open a pack of nutritional dried meat . Once he put the nutritional dried meat in the bowl that he had specially prepared for the Celestial Magical Cat, it started gobbling up the things .

After that, Ling Jiu came back to his seat and continued his meal .

“W—what is going on, Ling Jiu?”

Ai Yuhe’s face still looked pale . “Why is a Celestial Magical Cat ranked seventy-second on the Direbeast list so close to you? What have you done?”

“It finds me handsome, I guess . ”

She was momentarily speechless to Ling Jiu’s reply .

The arrival of the Celestial Magical Cat frightened the two girls . Even when they saw it cozy up to Ling Jiu, it still terrified them . They felt uneasy during the entire dinner time . They went back to the room as soon as they finished their meal . Not for one second did they want to stay .

Ling Jiu cleaned up the dining table, took a shower, and then lay on the bed . The Celestial Magical Cat jumped over and got up next to Ling Jiu .

“Stay here, Celeste . I need your help tomorrow . ”

Ling Jiu rubbed the furry head of the Celestial Magical Cat with a smile .

MEOW…

The cat nodded its head like an obedient child .

Ling Jiu smiled, pleased with its response .

Class-Seven Direbeasts were highly intelligent . But Class-Eight Direbeasts were even smarter . They were no less intelligent than humans . It was said that Class-Nine Direbeasts could talk like humans did .

So Ling Jiu was not surprised that the Celestial Magical Cat could understand his words .

Ling Jiu named the cat Celeste—its last name was Ling .

Early the next morning, after three of them had breakfast, they set off at once . Today, Ling Jiu was not looking for Class-Six Direbeasts . He was scanning for the Class-Seven Direbeasts .

“Why are you looking for Class-Seven Direbeasts, Ling Jiu?” Ai Yuhe asked in surprise .

“I am bored with killing Class-Six Direbeasts . Let’s try Class-Seven today!”

Ling Jiu stared at the radar screen nonchalantly .

“C-C-Class-Seven Direbeasts? You are kidding, right?”

Ai Yuhe was trembling . “That is the lord of all Direbeasts . Are you sure we can kill them? What if we get ourselves killed?”

“That’s why I hire a super bodyguard!”

Ling Jiu smiled, pointing at Celeste lying on the bed . “There is nothing to be afraid of with his protection . ”

Looking at the Celestial Magical Cat, Ai Yuhe gulped . ‘Why would you let another Direbeast to protect us while we hunt Class-Seven Direbeasts? You must be kidding me!’

“It just so happens that there is a Class-Seven Direbeast up ahead! Let’s try it . ”

Ling Jiu woke up the sleeping Celestial Magical Cat . “Get up, Celeste!”

MEOW…

The Celestial Magical Cat was not so happy when Ling Jiu woke it up from its dream . But when Ling Jiu caressed its head, its grumpiness went away .

“Let’s go . ”

A lake appeared below . The water was turbid, and under an enormous tree near to the lake lay a hideous behemoth .

The behemoth was over 60 meters long, as large as a bus . Its body was covered with dark brown bumps . Its head was big, with fangs in its mouth and foul-smelling mucus dripping down its teeth .

It was Komodo Dragon, a Class-Seven Direbeast .

Whether in Eastern or Western culture, dragons are synonymous with power and terror . So any beast that can be called a dragon is absolutely terrifying!

Komodo Dragon, a Class-Seven Direbeast unique to Australia .

The Direbeast lord that claimed to have ‘absolute defense’, ‘absolute power’ and ‘absolute venom’ was undoubtedly very terrifying in the world of Class-Seven Direbeasts .

“I will go in the front while you two lie in waiting . You know the drill . ”

Ling Jiu issued a combat command, “Celeste, you can just hide and stand by . Unless I am in danger, you don’t need to intervene . Do you understand?”

“Understood!”

MEOW

“Take this, Ling’er . ”

Ling Jiu handed a pinch of purple, almost transparent flames to Ling’er . “You can control the five elements, but you don’t have a weapon . Use this first!”

“Thanks, brother!”

“I am going now!”
