《The Adventure of Holy Beast Bai Xiaoli》C37. Thump a Rune Beast to Death
Advertisement
Proofread by Claire.KK
With a howl of rage, the shadows of the black runes which originally surround the explosive-fire-rhinoceros are shooting in all directions like sickles which are going to reap the lives. The speed of the runes shadows is really high; several hunters are instantly penetrated and seriously dead.
Like a fiery mad boa, the black rune shadows twist in the air and strangle many hunters in an instant.
Just with one encounter, dozens of dead corpse are scattered on the ground. But not even a single of them remains intact but has already been cut into pieces by the shadows and fall to the ground. A powerful bloody smell pervaded the air. The hunters who get away with it are all breathing deeply with their heart still fluttering with fear.
Someone shouts unwillingly, “Watch on it. I have already contacted the masters in Tianjing City. They will rush over quickly. We can absolutely not let this rune beast escape!”
Long Lan and Rovel have never seen such a bloody scene in their life. Long Lan directly turns away to vomit. With a pale face and his lips pressing together, Rovel is obviously fighting back his discomfort.
His brows knitted, Cang Yan has a very solemn expression.
Joyce has been standing straight. However, as he is overwhelmed by the stinky smell of blood and the exploded internal organs, his stomach suddenly turns upside down. With a pale face, Joyce turns back to run, “I can’t help it, and let me vomit for a moment.”
By contrast, Bai Xiaoli is still sitting on the ground with his legs crossed imperturbably, like watching a drama. Faced with such a scene, he has no discomfort at all.
Looking with contempt at the human beings running away, the explosive-fire-rhinoceros has its blood-red eyes focus again on the little figure at a short distance.
“Howl—!”
Giving a roar, the explosive-fire-rhinoceros finally rushes toward the devil who has grabbed its debris of rune, and it’s determined to grab the debris of rune back.
Rising up from the ground suddenly, Bai Xiaoli rushes toward the explosive-fire-rhinoceros while laughing, “Little rhino, why are you still so irritable? Your Lord Bai is full. Today I have strength to beat you.”
While the narrowly escaped hunters are looking for ways to detain this rune beast, they see a little figure rushing toward the rune beast.
They’re all stupefied.
“Who’s that? Even all of us fight together, we‘re still no match for this rune beast. He actually rushes forward alone. He’s looking for death!”
“We don’t need to stop him from looking for death. He can exactly buy time for us to wait the masters from Tianjing City.”
“This is a good idea, use his life to hold this rune beast. We can’t let it go!”
Cang Yan already replaces the long sword with two guns holding tightly in his hands, his lips pressed into a line. He didn’t rush forward rashly. He knows clearly that the defensive power of the rune beast is very high, it’s absolutely impossible to break it with his actual strength. If he rashly rushes forward, he will not only fail to help Xiaoli, but will also drag him.

If Xiaoli dies, he will die together. If Xiaoli can handle it while he overestimates his own strength and rushes forward to cause himself killed instead, that is really to harm Bai Xiaoli. What he needs to do now is protecting Bai Xiaoli from the sneak attack of the hunters. He must guard the back for Bai Xiaoli.
Bai Xiaoli dashes all the way to face up the explosive-fire-rhinoceros which is rushing over. Before they’re about to crash into each other, his feet thrusting to the ground and then jumps up high. He steps in the air and bounds zigzag up. Seeing this scene, all people have their mouth wide open. They can’t believe that this guy actually goes up into the sky?
After reaching a certain altitude, Bai Xiaoli thumps toward the head of the explosive-fire-rhinoceros!
Like a bull which knocks its opponent by its horns, a huge single rune bursts out of its head. This rune is visional. If one looks carefully, all the shadows of the rune surrounding the whole body of the explosive-fire-rhinoceros is actually transformed from this kind of rune. But the shape of this rune can’t be seen clearly. Now, the explosive-fire-rhinoceros directly release this huge rune to resist the attack from Bai Xiaoli.
It seems that the fists like suet jade punch easily on the shadow of the rune, but actually they weigh a ton.
With a loud sound “Boom”, the ground on which the explosive-fire-rhinoceros is standing falls apart. The enormous body of the explosive-fire-rhinoceros directly gets stuck in the mud!
Bai Xiaoli does a back flip and lands steadily. After sliding backward a few meters, he stops.
The hanging heart of Cang Yan finally calms down after this blow. He knows now, Bai Xiaoli has the strength to confront this rune beast.
The hunters who are waiting to see this guy to be killed by the rune beast, all are shocked to have their jaw hitting the ground and their eyes dropped out of sockets.
Roaring and crumbling out of the mud, the explosive-fire-rhinoceros has the shadows of rune whoosh toward like thousands of poisonous snakes
Bai Xiaoli dashes forward. When the shadows of rune are going to penetrate his body, Bai Xiaoli jumps slightly and stands directly on them. Following the long road paved with shadows of rune, Bai Xiaoli runs to raid the explosive-fire-rhinoceros!
All the people watching: “…”
Above the shadow of rune can stand people? Are you kidding me?!
Seeing Bai Xiaoli has this kind of means, the explosive-fire-rhinoceros withdraws the shadows of rune and wants to strangle Bai Xiaoli.
His body as light as a butterfly, Bai Xiaoli shuttles through several shadows of rune and let them running after him. When Bai Xiaoli finally rounds out of the encirclement of the shadows of rune, all people suddenly find out that the pieces of rune shadows which are like killing sickles are finally tied in a taut knot!

Until the taut knot is formed, the explosive-fire-rhinoceros suddenly realizes the intention of Bai Xiaoli. He wants to withdraw the shadows, but fails. Before the explosive-fire-rhinoceros runs away, Bai Xiaoli grabs hold of the shadows of rune which is knotted. Pulling hard, Bai Xiaoli actually pulls the explosive-fire-rhinoceros out from the other side of the shadows and throws it onto the ground with a “Bang”, and then Bai Xiaoli continues to pull and throw.
So the “Bang” goes on and on. The earth is shaking. Pieces of thigh-width cracks spread in all directions.
All people are watching this scene with a numb face. This scene is simply funny, just like a kid pulling a huge ragdoll and throwing it to the ground for fun.
But this is not a ragdoll, but a real rune beast! The contrast of their volumes is so cute! Where the hell is this monster coming from; why it has such terrible power?!
Bai Xiaoli had planned to throw the little rhino to death like this, so he can pull it home for eating meat. But he feels empty in the hand. The knotted rune shadows are directly broken into power powder, these powder converges into a small cloud of black fog and goes directly into the mouth and nose of Bai Xiaoli.
Bai Xiaoli is frightened. Not feeling any discomfort, so he just lets it go for the time being.
Losing his rune shadow, the explosive-fire-rhinoceros yells at the sky irritably. The debris of rune is already taken away, and now even the last remaining rune power is also looted. If not risking its life in revenge, the explosive-fire-rhinoceros won’t be worth its name!
Bai Xiaoli jumps backward, and the explosive-fire-rhinoceros has his head knocked on the ground. Taking the advantage of this opportunity, Bai Xiaoli jumps over its big head and thumps it fist by fist, just like a kid who is beating the mud for fun.
The little fists look like light, but the explosive-fire-rhinoceros fellow has an entirely different feeling. Shaking its head madly, it wants to throw Bai Xiaoli off. Bai Xiaoli drags its single horn and stands steadily, and just doesn’t want to come down.
The explosive-fire-rhinoceros bumps around anxiously. Its constant screaming shocks and hurts eardrums. Without the defense of rune shadows, the rhino is no match for Bai Xiaoli. After struggling, the explosive-fire-rhinoceros falls down with a “Boom”. Four legs pointing up, it’s indeed dead.
All the people: “…”
One rune beast is just thum…thumped to death like … like this by this guy?!
Oh my god, where the hell is this monster coming from?!
Kicking the explosive-fire-rhinoceros and finding it’s really dead, Bai Xiaoli pulls its one leg and throws it into the air. Like a champion of weightlifting, two arms over his head and holding the fallen explosive-fire-rhinoceros, Bai Xiaoli runs toward Cang Yan and other members. Bai Xiaoli is like a little ant who’s carrying the food which is countless times bigger than himself and running wildly. It’s very funny.
“I catch it, I catch it. We can go back to eat meat!” Bai Xiaoli is very happy and shouts while running.
Cang Yan is already shocked, giddy and dazzled at all of this. Finally, he recognizes clearly the real strength of his soul beast.
“Stop! Put down the rune beast!” Seeing the little monster is going to carry the rune beast away, the astonished hunters become restless.
What they want is exactly the rune beast. When the rune beast was alive, they were afraid of its strength and didn’t dare to fight with it. Now that the rune beast is already dead, what are they still afraid of? It must be grabbed over.
Although they don’t understand that how the rune shadows have suddenly disappeared at last. Since this is a rune beast, the debris of rune is absolutely still inside it.
How can they know that the debris of rune no longer exists in the body of the explosive-fire-rhinoceros? Otherwise, it will not be killed so easily. None of them has ever encountered a real rune beast, so they can’t tell the difference at all. They only know the characteristics of rune beasts. Besides, this explosive-fire-rhinoceros really used to be a rune beast.
Seeing those hunters want to loot this rune beast, Cang Yan lifts up the two guns.
Joyce and Long Lan no longer vomit and both take up their weapons. Rovel is empty-handed, but all his muscles are tight and becomes ready to fight.
Facing the rune beast, they’re no match and also has some fear. But now, the opponents are the hunters who want to grab from Bai Xiaoli, which is utterly intolerable!
Obviously, those hunters don’t plan to let Bai Xiaoli leave. Cang Yan and other members still have a distance away from Bai Xiaoli and can’t reach him in time at all. Bai Xiaoli is already surrounded by those hunters.
Looking around at the hunters, Bai Xiaoli snorts coldly and says: “If I put it down as what you have said, shall Lord Bai lose face?”
Even the hunters are not in the same team, but they have the same purpose at this moment. That is to snatch the rune beast back.
“Kid, leave the rune beast if you don’t want to die. We can let you go.” Carry the Prey and Run.
