My Pet Beast is Super Fearsome
Chapter 620 - 619: Golden Pond Flood Dragon, Moon Howling Dog, Fire Phoenix Pheasant

Chapter 620: Chapter 619: Golden Pond Flood Dragon, Moon Howling Dog, Fire Phoenix Pheasant

Above the shadow on the rooftop, thin dark clouds churned and gathered under the cold moonlight, where the slender body of the dragon shimmered in and out of visibility, its golden scales gleaming. The dragon head of the Golden Pond Flood Dragon hung down from the clouds, with mist swirling around its mouth and nostrils.

Dripdrop!

In the ruins of the collapsed building, the spread of the fire sea ceased under the drizzle, revealing the charred walls and cracked roads beneath it.

Raindrops gathered on the armor of the Iron-eating Demon Beast, trickling down its shell.

It looked at the two figures above it and took a few steps backward, a struggle evident in its purple-red eyes, as it lowered its head and issued continuous growls from its throat.

Suddenly, it paused mid-step and turned its head to look at the flames beneath its feet, which were slowly weakening.

Boom!

The next moment, the feeble flames surged several meters high, wildly rolling about.

"Crack!"

Accompanied by a loud, clear cry, those flames shot up into the sky and converged into the shape of a firebird, with a tail of flames more than ten meters long trailing behind it like feathers. After circling above the Iron-eating Demon Beast, the firebird landed on a nearby tall building and, folding its wings, calmly watched the Iron-eating Demon Beast.

"The Moon Howling Dog, it’s the Moon Howling Dog and the Golden Pond Flood Dragon!"

"And there’s the Fire Phoenix, I love the Fire Phoenix the most!"

"I’m a fan of General Li Tianwen. With the Golden Pond Flood Dragon here, I wonder if General Li is around."

"Four of the nation’s Guardian Beasts and the Duke’s fire dragon, what kind of divine scene is this today!"

"To be fair, even though the fire dragon is strong, it still falls short compared to the Guardian Beasts."

"If you want to start a fight, go to a dung pit, thanks."

When the three Guardian Beasts appeared on the screen, the atmosphere in the live stream reached a climax. Everyone knows that the twelve Guardian Beasts are renowned; however, they are not easily seen because of their special status, and they seldom make public appearances in front of the masses.

Even creatures of special significance to Daxia like the Golden Pond Flood Dragon and the Iron-eating Giant Panda usually only make brief appearances at certain special celebrations, such as the recent national cup opening ceremony, which invited the Iron-eating Giant Panda.

This time, with four Guardian Beasts gathered—even though Qiuqiu seemed to have run into some trouble—it was enough to excite the onlookers to no end.

Watching the three Guardian Beasts surrounding the Iron-eating Demon Beast, Shao Zifeng finally felt his hanging heart settle down.

Not far away, the thorny vines dissipated, and severed limbs fell from the sky. Shao Zifeng’s vision blurred for a moment as a slender figure in a black evening gown, holding a small folding fan, appeared by his side.

Lingling, holding on to Shao Zifeng’s arm with one hand, sat sideways on Qiuqiu’s back and leaned close to his ear, her breath fragrant as she whispered, "Duke sir, did you miss Lingling~"

Shao Zifeng shrank his neck: "Stop teasing~"

Lingling covered her face with the folding fan and chuckled lightly: "Hee hee, even a shy Duke is quite enticing~"

Shao Zifeng said nothing, his gaze filled with distress as he looked at Qiuqiu’s cracked Scale Armor. He gently patted its neck: "Qiuqiu, let’s go and get some healing for you."

"Huff"

Qiuqiu exhaled a small flame from its mouth, its eyes flickering continually with fire, seemingly quite resentful of the Iron-eating Demon Beast.

Shao Zifeng’s tone grew firmer: "Qiuqiu!"

Seeing his anger, Qiuqiu immediately wilted, turning its head to look at Shao Zifeng with pleasing eyes. Then its pupils suddenly constricted, and its expression instantly turned cold.

"Yo~" Lingling provocatively looked at Qiuqiu: "The ugly lizard got hurt!"

This little witch not only sat on its back, taking up its space, but dared to insult it; Qiuqiu’s breathing became rapid, and its expression gradually twisted.

Smack!

Shao Zifeng tapped Lingling’s head: "Behave yourself."

Qiuqiu immediately showed a schadenfreude expression, making strange noises as if laughing.

Lingling, seeing its expression, curled the corners of her mouth slightly and said pitifully while leaning on Shao Zifeng, "Wuwu, as long as the Duke is happy, you can punish Lingling however you want~"

"Ga." Qiuqiu was instantly petrified.

It.

Qiu·Little Green Tea·Qiu, when had it ever suffered such an indignity!

Ignoring the petty fights between the two little fellows, Shao Zifeng’s attention remained on those national pillar beasts. They seemed to be negotiating now, with the ferocity on the Iron-eating Demon Beast dissipating quite a bit, indicating that a fight wouldn’t break out anytime soon.

"Qiuqiu, let’s go."

This time Qiuqiu did not hesitate, its wings fluttered vigorously as it flew towards the building where the little deer was.

"Wu~"

Before they got close, they heard a joyous whale song.

Sensing Shao Zifeng’s presence, JingJing became agitated, constantly swinging its large tail in attempts to break free from the little deer’s restraint.

The little deer had no choice but to loosen the vines restraining it, and JingJing, shaking its tail, quickly swam up to greet them.

Upon seeing JingJing, Qiuqiu’s eyes lit up. Its body rapidly shrank, and Shao Zifeng only felt lighter as he rapidly fell.

Lingling was startled and just as she wanted to grab Shao Zifeng, she stopped, revealing a slight smile at the corners of her mouth.

Whoosh—

A gust of wind roared past, and Shao Zifeng, holding Qiuqiu, landed on the soft body of JingJing.

Shao Zifeng’s heart thudded, he sent a reproachful glance Qiuqiu’s way, then placed his hand on JingJing’s back, calming the little one’s anxious mood.

Once JingJing felt Shao Zifeng’s soothing, the little one gradually calmed down, emitting soft chirps as if to reproach him for abandoning it.

"Yingying~"

Qiuqiu crawled out from Shao Zifeng’s embrace, fluttered its little wings, and flew in front of JingJing, with wisps of flame emitting from its body.

JingJing quickly recognized Qiuqiu, holding it on top of its head, joyfully flying about. Its wide, white veil-like fins gently brushed over them, their mood extremely cheerful.

Directing JingJing to fly back to the rooftop, Shao Zifeng looked at the little deer and softly said, "You’ve worked hard."

"You~"

The little deer gently shook its head and pressed its forehead against his, then turned its head to look at Qiuqiu.

A bright green luster flowed in its eyes, and a healing light enveloped Qiuqiu. The playful Qiuqiu trembled, then collapsed on JingJing’s back, muttering something and appearing utterly worn out.

Lingling stretched out a finger to poke Qiuqiu’s soft belly, a naughty smile revealing itself on her face.

Boom!

Just then, a flash of lightning tore through the night sky, followed by the sudden sound of thunder, and then an angry dragon’s roar.

Unlike the depth and majesty in Qiuqiu’s voice or Yaya’s short and imperious tone, the Golden Pond Flood Dragon’s cry was long and ethereal, like a chorus of countless beasts.

Shao Zifeng didn’t bother to check on Chen Yixin and the others; he hurriedly looked up only to see flurries of electricity and thunder within the thin clouds. The Golden Pond Flood Dragon’s eyes were sharp, its slender body gracefully weaving in and out of the clouds, looking very angry.

"Roar!"

The response wasn’t from the Iron-eating Demon Beast but a dragon covered in black mucus.

Shao Zifeng’s pupils contracted. Li Fangyan’s dragon had come out again, and with its appearance, the Iron-eating Demon Beast’s ferocity was once again provoked, its purplish-red eyes filled with a violent rage as it let out roars at the Golden Pond Flood Dragon.

At that moment, Shao Zifeng saw a figure standing between them; the Moon Howling Dog stood suspended in the air, its elegant fur moving without any wind, as if it still hadn’t given up on persuading the Iron-eating Demon Beast.

On the other hand, the Fire Phoenix Pheasant seemed very calm and took a glance at them, continuing to preen its feathers with its beak, exhibiting an indifferent demeanor.

In Shao Zifeng’s peripheral vision, rotating specks of light unfolded into a light blue screen.

[Description]: One of the twelve national guardian beasts of the Great Xia, ’Fire Phoenix’, the favorite of fire element, a top-tier fire attribute mutant creature. It is said that as long as the flames of the world do not extinguish, it will never die.

The favorite of the fire element?

The Moon Howling Dog was one thing; Shao Zifeng didn’t have a beast to match it. But if he remembered correctly, wasn’t Qiuqiu also rated as the favorite of the fire element?

However, glancing at Qiuqiu sprawling lethargically on top of Lingling’s head like a salted fish, then looking at the Fire Phoenix’s attributes, Shao Zifeng fell silent.

To be fair, based solely on the stats, Qiuqiu, the ’favorite of the fire element,’ seemed more like an adopted child. The Fire Phoenix’s Bath Fire was akin to a bug-like existence.

No, it seemed he hadn’t checked Qiuqiu’s stats after its evolution.

Just as he was about to check Qiuqiu’s new attributes, the Fire Phoenix, which had been calm up until now, seemed to lose its patience. Its body burst into vigorous flames as it spread its wings and pounced on the Iron-eating Demon Beast like lightning.

Facing the Fire Phoenix’s sudden assault, the Iron-eating Demon Beast showed no fear. It raised its heavy claws and slammed the ground, causing countless gigantic pieces of concrete to slowly levitate from the collapsed building ruins around it. Without exception, these pieces were intermixed with steel rebars, which then blanketed the sky and smashed towards the Fire Phoenix.

Seeing the Fire Phoenix engage, the Golden Pond Flood Dragon and the Moon Howling Dog no longer hesitated. They attacked the dragon in midair together, and the night sky was instantly painted with various colors of elemental energy.

The dragon was no match for the Golden Pond Flood Dragon and the Moon Howling Dog; it wasn’t long before the Moon Howling Dog pressed it to the ground with its claws, while the Golden Pond Flood Dragon turned its head to join the other battle front.

With the Golden Pond Flood Dragon’s involvement, the Iron-eating Demon Beast gradually fell at a disadvantage against the two flying beasts, yet the Fire Phoenix and the Golden Pond Flood Dragon seemed to have some reservations, refraining from using widespread skills. Even so, victory was just a matter of time.

Everything seemed to be progressing in a good direction.

In the eastern outskirts of Imperial City, Fire King Li He stood on a rooftop, watching the battle in the city center from afar, with a comically large Fire Phoenix Pheasant standing behind him.

"Snap!"

At that moment, the Fire Phoenix Pheasant lowered its head and pecked at his collar with its beak. Li He turned his attention back and gently patted the head of the Fire Phoenix Pheasant with a smile, "Old buddy, what’s the matter?"

The Fire Phoenix Pheasant nuzzled his hand and motioned for him to look at the alley below.

Li He was startled and followed its gaze. In the corner, the shadowy figures of several monsters could be seen frozen in place, their limbs set as if in mid-run, their ferocious faces wrinkled together in pain as their bodies trembled violently.

Li He’s gaze turned cold, and flames surged over his fist, but as he was about to take action, the monsters collapsed one after the other, their keratin layers quickly becoming loose, devoid of life.

He slowly lowered his right hand and frowned at the bodies of the monsters, an ominous premonition forming in his heart.

At the same time, this phenomenon occurred in every corner of Imperial City.

Enforcers engaged in battle and civilian Combat Training Masters discovered that the lively monsters suddenly fell to the ground, lifeless, as if something had abruptly drained all their life force.

The night deepened, and the sky enveloping Imperial City seemed to grow even more profound.
