Chapter 420: Chapter 416: Escape from Death
Howl Howl!
(The Fire Giant is catching up!)
“Damn, where did this come from all of a sudden!”
Bai Qi, seeing this, couldn’t help but curse softly, ready to run, but he saw the Snow Doll bouncing into the cave.
Hmm hmm~
After entering the cave, the Snow Doll suddenly popped its head out and waved at Bai Qi.
“Are you calling me in?”
Bai Qi was taken aback, looking at the Fire Giant getting closer and closer, he didn’t care about anything else and followed the Snow Doll into the cave.
Seeing this, the other five pets also followed one after another. By the time the Fire Giant arrived, all five pets had entered the cave.
Roar!
Seeing Bai Qi escape right under his eyes again, the Fire Giant became more and more angry, and punched towards the cave.
“Damn, we’ve really trapped ourselves this time!”
Seeing this, Bai Qi felt a chill in his heart. He was about to pull Delta to teleport away when suddenly a blue light lit up in the cave. Bai Qi then saw a blue array emerge from the bottom of the cave, quickly stacking up and sealing off the entrance to the cave.
Boom!
The Fire Giant’s heavy fist hit the blue array, sparking a flurry of sparks. The cave shook violently, with debris falling from Bai Qi’s head.
Nevertheless, the attack of the Fire Giant had been blocked.
“Should be safe now, right?”
Seeing this, Bai Qi quietly breathed a sigh of relief and then began to examine the situation in the cave.
The cave was not large, you could see the end at a glance, and it was full of frost. It was a world apart from the Fire Element World outside.
“This kind of place shouldn’t exist in the Fire Element World, unless it connects to the Water Element World?”
Bai Qi thought for a moment and then focused his attention on the blue array in the middle of the cave.
Because it had to resist the attack of the Fire Giant, the blue array was constantly flickering. Bai Qi couldn’t see the exact look of the array at all and instead shivered from the cold seeping out of the array.
Hmm hmm?
Seeing Bai Qi like this, the Snow Doll seemed somewhat confused. It tilted its head and looked at Bai Qi a few times, then ran into a snow pit and lay down.
“Who would have thought, this little guy is pretty brave.”
Bai Qi looked at the Fire Giant who was still attacking and then at the Snow Doll which seemed to be ready to sleep. He couldn’t help but laugh.
A creature that would cry at the slightest increase in noise, showed no signs of fear towards the giant creature outside. He really didn’t know what to make of it.
“Maybe this is the confidence of a Mythical Species?”
Thinking of the information he had picked up on the Snow Doll earlier, Bai Qi had the same idea again. He walked over to the Snow Doll and began to examine it with interest.
From the energy aura, this Snow Doll’s growth level should be at least three, but whether it was a Mid-Level King or a Mythical Species, it would be quite worthwhile to form a contract with.
The key point is that this creature does not seem like a normal Elemental Creature.
“Hmph, able to make the progress of the Diamond Egg increase by twenty percent in one go, it would be a pity to miss out.”
Bai Qi rubbed his chin and quickly made up his mind. He wondered how to trick the Snow Doll into becoming his pet when suddenly it quieted down outside the cave.
“Did it give up?”
Bai Qi was surprised and prepared to go check the situation when Schuck suddenly deployed the Mechanical Lord to block the entrance of the cave, while Alpha instantly stood in front of Bai Qi, opening up the Death Force Field.
Rumble…
Accompanied by a loud noise, a fiery fist broke through the blockade of the blue array and heavily hit the wall constructed by the Mechanical Lord. The Etherium Liquid Gold, which was originally capable of bearing near-legendary power, was shattered by the heavy fist in an instant.
After breaking through the Etherium wall, the momentum of the fiery giant fist did not weaken at all, and it mercilessly hit the Death Force Field.
Unlike the Etherium wall, the Death Force Field did not shatter directly. However, cracks appeared all over Alpha’s body at the center of the field, ready to completely shatter at the slightest touch.
“Damn it, just what level of creature is this!”
Bai Qi’s eyes narrowed as Gamma and others opened their fields to help. At the same time, he began to look for an escape route.
Howl Howl!
(I’ve found the exit!)
At this moment, Beta barked wildly at the blue array in the cave. As Bai Qi fixed his eyes on it, he found that underneath the blue array was indeed an Element Gate.
“As expected, this place is a junction with other Element Worlds.”
Bai Qi’s eyes lit up, and he immediately ran to the Element Gate to inject his Spirit Power. The array that had been forcibly broken by the Fire Giant was reopened, and the Element Gate slowly opened.
“Minions, let’s get out of here quickly!”
Seeing that the Element Gate was successfully opened, Bai Qi immediately called on the other pets to leave. The few pets were not muddled either. While resisting the Fire Giant’s fist, they moved towards the Element Gate.
Hmm hmm?
Upon seeing the others preparing to leave, the Snow Doll seemed to wake from a dream, unsteadily making its way to the Element Gate as if wishing to enter too.
“Little one, want to come with me?”
Gazing at the giant fire fist drawing closer, Bai Qi didn’t think twice about his invitation to the Snow Doll, and the Snow Doll seemed to hold Bai Qi in good regard too as it nodded agreeably and headed for the Element Gate.
Bang!
However, to Bai Qi’s surprise, the Snow Doll crashed head-first into the Element Gate as if the open gateway was merely an illusion.
“Damn, it opens but it’s not letting us through, do they want to kill me?!”
Upon seeing this, Bai Qi cursed aloud. He was just about to lead his five pets in a do-or-die battle with the fire giant, when Schuck took a leap of faith and entered the gate leaving Bai Qi flabbergasted.
“There’s no problem? Then why can’t you enter?”
Bai Qi glanced questioningly at the Snow Doll, but the Snow Doll looked completely lost, clearly failing to understand why it couldn’t pass through.
Gurgle, Gurgle!
(Boss, I can’t hold on much longer!)
At this instant, Alpha sent a warning to Bai Qi, with Gamma and Worm Grass likewise faced with peril.
It was clearly a flame giant, but the disparity between this one and the Fire Tyrant was vast. If it hadn’t been for that magic array, they would have doubted their ability to withstand even the first onslaught.
Bai Qi nodded his head, looked at the Snow Doll that was unable to pass through the Element Gate no matter how hard it tried, and activated the Rune Mark on the back of his hand.
“Don’t resist, I’m getting you out of here!”
Upon hearing Bai Qi’s words, the Snow Doll paused, instinctively wanting to resist the confinement of the two Rune Marks. However, upon seeing the encroaching flame giant, it eventually gave up its resistance.
The contract process went smoothly. The Snow Doll appeared in Bai Qi’s Beast Control Space very quickly. Bai Qi could also feel an odd power entering his soul.
This was the feedback given after he initiated a contract with the Snow Doll.
However, Bai Qi didn’t have time to sense what transformations the Snow Doll was undergoing. He promptly slipped through the Element Gate.
After Bai Qi’s departure, Gamma instantly enlarged its body, shielding Alpha and Delta in the process. Gamma also ejected its main body, clinging it onto Alpha, and together, they plunged into the Element Gate.
Seeing Bai Qi and the others escape right under its nose once again, the flame giant was infuriated. Just as it was about to forcibly shatter the Element Gate, Gamma’s abandoned body voluntarily charged at the flame giant, self-detonating before the giant could retaliate.
This explosion caused a terrifying wave of impact, yet it only made the flame giant hesitate for a moment.
However, that brief moment was enough for the Element Gate to fully close, not even trembling slightly under the direct strike from the flame giant.
After all, the portal that linked to the Elemental World wouldn’t be so easy to shatter.
…
On an icy lake.
Three canine heads suddenly popped out of the water. Subsequently, a crystal skeleton clutching a young man emerged, followed by a flurry of some pets.
“Phew~ I thought we were going to freeze to death in the lake.”
Bai Qi jumped off Alpha’s back onto the ground. He quickly embraced Worm Grass into his arms, who conscientiously released a gentle warmth to dispel the chill emanating from Bai Qi.
Woo-woo?
(We made it out, didn’t we?)
Schuck surveyed their surrounding environment with residual fear, heaving a sigh of relief once he confirmed that they were not in the Fire Element World.
“We should be okay now or else we would have probably already kicked the bucket.”
Recalling the formidable force exhibited by the flame giant, a wave of fear washed over Bai Qi. Subsequently, he started checking on the status of the five pets.
Schuck, who was the first to detect the assault of the flame giant was surprisingly really smart. After creating an Etherium Wall, he quickly severed their link and thus, he suffered minimal damage.
However, Alpha, who had bravely formed the second line of defense, bore a severe brunt of the flame giant’s attack. His entire skeletal structure was shattered. Bai Qi suspected that just a little bit more exertion, and Alpha could have turned to dust.
“Good thing you were there, Alpha.”
Lightly patting Alpha’s body, Bai Qi placed Alpha within the Beast Control Space and instantly encapsulated it with a Diamond Egg.
With the Diamond Egg, Bai Qi was confident that unless it was a fatal injury, Alpha could return to his peak state – there was even a chance of Alpha improving.
After all, Alpha completed a lot of similar training at the early stages.
After checking on Alpha, Bai Qi started examining the conditions of the other pets.
Fortunately, due to Alpha, they didn’t suffer much damage, but they were all a bit fatigued.
“Though the process was quite thrilling, at least we managed to survive.”
A smile appeared on Bai Qi’s face as he began checking out their surroundings.
“Hmm? This place looks familiar. Are we not in the Water Element World?”
“After detection, we actually seem to be at Taize Lake, and the place from where we just escaped seems to be the location where we discovered the Cowskin Snake.”
Schuck, who had perceived the anomaly, projected a map in front of Bai Qi. To their surprise, their location coordinates placed them right in the middle of Taize Lake.
“We were teleported directly back to Taize Lake?”
