Chapter 889: Beasts Pets
From his hidden vantage point, Max was slightly taken aback. He narrowed his eyes, staring intently at the three Void Soul Tower members. ’They’re only at the seventh level of the Legend Rank, yet they dare to face a three-headed black dragon at its peak?’ he thought. ’They must have some hidden trump card or technique... otherwise, this is nothing short of suicide.’
While these thoughts ran through his mind, the three Void Soul Tower members had already closed the distance, stopping within ten feet of the pool’s edge. The atmosphere instantly shifted.
The massive three-headed black dragon raised all three of its heads in unison, its eyes burning with cold, predatory malice. The deep rumble of its throats echoed like rolling thunder as it opened its bloody maws, displaying rows of sharp, jet-black fangs dripping with venom. Each exhale released a dense cloud of poisonous gas that lingered ominously above the surface of the pool, twisting and writhing in the air like serpents.
The temperature around them plummeted, an icy chill spreading through the clearing as an invisible pressure descended over the area. The ground trembled faintly, and even the air felt heavier, as if warning all who dared approach that they were stepping into the domain of death itself.
But despite the terrifying presence of the three-headed black dragon and the icy chill filling the air, Nell and her two companions remained remarkably calm, showing no signs of fear or hesitation. Instead, their expressions were composed, almost confident, as if they had already prepared for this exact moment.
The yellow-faced young man was the first to act. With a sharp motion, he slapped the spirit beast bag hanging from his waist, and instantly, a blur of green light shot out, coiling and twisting as it soared into the air. In a matter of seconds, the shadow expanded dramatically, transforming into a giant python covered in emerald scales.
But this was no ordinary python—its head was shaped like that of a bird, with a sharp beak and keen predatory eyes, and sprouting from its back was a pair of fleshy green wings that flapped slowly but powerfully, keeping it suspended in the air.
"Falcon snake?" The name slipped from Arnold’s lips in surprise, his eyes widening slightly. Even Max, who had been silently observing from the shadows, narrowed his eyes in astonishment. None of them had expected the seemingly ordinary yellow-faced expert to possess such a rare and strange beast.
The falcon snake, though not on the same level as the three-headed black dragon, was still a formidable existence among monster beasts, its aerial mobility combined with its serpent-like ferocity making it an apex predator in its own right. Judging from its aura, this particular falcon snake had already reached the 8th level of the Legend Rank, a clear sign of its terrifying power.
Before anyone could recover from their surprise, the long-faced young man acted next. He reached to his waist and untied a black cloth bag, loosening the rope in one swift pull. A deep, rumbling sound immediately followed, like distant thunder rolling across a stormy sky. In the next moment, a flash of electric blue light burst out of the bag, and with a loud bang, the earth trembled beneath their feet.
From within the bag leapt a massive frog, its body easily ten feet long and thick with powerful muscle. Its skin glistened like polished sapphire, and its wide, uneven back constantly emitted arcs of blue lightning that crackled violently with each movement. Its bulbous blue eyes glowed faintly, locking onto the three-headed black dragon with primal aggression.
"Thunder frog?" Arnold said instantly, his sharp eyes recognizing the creature without hesitation.
The Thunder Frog was a rare and highly dangerous monster, one that was born with an innate affinity for lightning, making its offensive abilities brutally destructive. Its roar alone carried a sharp, electrical edge, and from the overwhelming energy pouring off it, this Thunder Frog was also at the 8th level of the Legend Rank—matching the falcon snake in sheer power.
