Chapter 257: Battle with Yun Shu (Parts Combined, Vote for Monthly Ticket)
Hearing the words translated by the Deep Sea Singer through the tides of the mind, Lin Su was slightly astonished.
Wasn't this the first time he had met this strange beast in front of him?
Was it really so hasty?
"You want to challenge us?" Lin Su couldn't help but ask for confirmation.
"Woo!" (I want to challenge your pet beast!)
Yun Shu swayed his tail, and a mist transformed into an arrow, pointing towards Ghost.
This time, even without the translation by the Deep Sea Singer, Lin Su understood the other party's intention.
To compete with Ghost?
He was aware of the collision of the Emperor Force Fields just now.
It seemed that it was because of this that the other party wanted to battle with Ghost.
Although Lin Su, as a Beast Tamer, could make decisions on behalf of Ghost, he always respected Ghost's own wishes.
At the moment, he simply scanned the opponent's normal energy value, found it close to Ghost's, and then gave Ghost the right to decide.
"Chirp! (⊙ᗜ⊙)" (Then let's fight!)
Ghost agreed briskly, as it was merely a peer in rank.
In its view, the Swallowing Cloud Whale in front of it wasn't even as threatening as the Big Brother had been to it.
While Yun Shu was issuing the challenge, the following Sea Night Demon had already started to disperse the other strange beasts around with sagacity, clearing an area for them.
As a result, Lin Su, who had been planning to find a Battle Arena, silently closed his mouth.
The style of clearing a space directly was a bit overbearing. He wondered which oceanic power's second-generation the Swallowing Cloud Whale in front of him belonged to.
With the stage set and neither Yun Shu nor Ghost having any issues, the fight naturally would not be delayed.
Both beasts moved away from each other, and at the moment the Sea Night Demon, acting as the referee, shouted three times and stabbed the fishbone-made trident heavily into the ground, they moved at the same time.
"Ghost, first probe the opponent's strength; don't be in a hurry to make a move," Lin Su stood in the back, hinting to Ghost through Telepathy.
Since the other party specified they wanted to challenge Ghost by name, he naturally did not plan to join in with Guardian Beast Co-operation. Ghost rarely encountered an opponent with a similar normal energy value, so it was a good opportunity to practice.
While reminding, Lin Su turned his head to look at Tang Cui on the side, "Researcher Tang, how much do you know about the abilities and skills of the Swallowing Cloud Whale?"
"The Swallowing Cloud Whale is a pure water-type pet beast. It is very difficult for a single-attribute creature to reach the high emperor rank at the beginning," Tang Cui quickly replied, "It has many skills, but there's a common point among them: they turn into cloud or mist states."
"Although it's a water attribute, most of the Swallowing Cloud Whale's skills are cloud and mist types, integrating perception, interference, and attack into one."
Lin Su nodded slightly.
He didn't plan to tell these pieces of information to Ghost yet.
Both beasts were currently unaware of each other's situation. If he informed Ghost, it would become aware of the opponent's attack style prematurely, thus losing the opportunity for tempering.
While Lin Su was whispering with Tang Cui, the battle between Ghost and Yun Shu had begun in the Arena.
The very first moment it took action, Ghost instinctively released the black box.
Although it had not fully grasped the rules of the dark, Ghost had been exposed to them. Therefore, the black box it released was a few shades darker than before.
This darkness provided not only a more suitable environment for its own spellcasting but also impaired the opponent's vision to some extent.
However, the next instant, Ghost found that the advantage brought by the black box had completely disappeared.
A gust of wind raged, centered on Yun Shu, sweeping out in all directions, covering the whole area with the mist that was originally swirling around it in an instant.
The surroundings did darken, but they were also shrouded in a layer of mist.
This layer of mist made it impossible for Ghost to see clearly around.
Swallowing Cloud Whale's Talent Skills, Mist Veil!
Ghost's black box met a worthy opponent!
On the other side, a cunning light flashed in Yun Shu's eyes.
It seemed that the opposing pet beast wanted to blanket the surroundings in darkness to obscure its vision.
Please~ It's a creature that lives in the deep sea.
The deep sea is inherently devoid of light.
Any strange beast living there either has dark powers to see clearly around or has powerful perceptual abilities.
And their Swallowing Cloud Whale race is even the cream of the crop!
Yun Shu simply closed his eyes.
Everything within the surrounding area was presented in its mind more clearly than with eyes open.
As if every place where there was fog was its own eye!
In the thick mist where one couldn't see their hand before them, Ghost's figure was so distinct!
Swallowing Cloud Whale's Talent Skills, Fog Sense!
Found you!
The Swallowing Cloud Whale suddenly opened its eyes, eyes flickering with fierce fighting spirit.
With several swishes of its tail, it shot toward Ghost like a white shuttle, its speed not a bit slower than swimming in the water.
Ghost was unaware that the opponent had already determined its location through perceptual abilities.
But it had rich combat experience.
After determining that it could not see clearly around, Ghost instantly turned into a flash of black light, merging into the surrounding darkness.
Shadow Concealment!
This skill grew more freeform at IV rank, slipping into the shadows silently and tracelessly.
The moment after Ghost's figure disappeared, the surrounding mist was violently torn apart by a tail swipe. Amid the rumbling blue halo, a thunderous blast erupted.
Yun Shu looked around cautiously, his eyes growing more solemn.
This guy, could merge into the shadows?
Under the influence of Fog Sense, it had clearly captured Ghost's movement in that instant.
