Boom!
Crash~
At the same time, a hundred meters away from Naib's location, a bloody battle is currently unfolding.
There, in the disheveled land, three land beasts and one flying beast can be seen eyeing a silver root in the deep trench below, encircling it and trying to get it while eliminating the competitors around them.
It could be said that, although the silver root is only a small segment — fragmented and in the worst state — the star force it contained is humongous, even causing the atmosphere to seemingly bend under its presence, a testament to its bizarreness.
Moreover, other than the 4 beasts and the lonely root amidst the chaos, in the dark surroundings, a number of corpses, dismembered limbs, and desolation left behind by countless skills from numbers of beasts can be silently discerned — showing that the clash between the beasts has already been ongoing for some time — giving a deep sensation of dread to anyone who looked at them.
Bang!
Huhu-haha!
Crackle~
Soon, amidst the probing of the four…
One of the four beasts present around, with an appearance and build highly similar to a monkey, has finally lost its patience as it suddenly pounded its chest with its fists.
Standing tall with a height of two meters and a fur coated with blood, the monkey suddenly punched the earth beneath it, causing earth spikes to abruptly materialize beneath the two land beasts in the short distance, planning to impale their physique with its sharpness.
Unfortunately, already experiencing the same pattern for a couple of minutes, the two land beasts, an earth centipede and a green frog with bumps akin to a tumor growing on its back, casually evaded the incoming attack, causing the earth spikes to miss their target.
Growl!
However, despite missing its target, the monkey didn't seem disappointed; instead, it kept pounding the earth beneath it with intensity, creating a quake that spread throughout the short distance as earth spikes kept popping around, trying to pierce the body of the two beasts.
Flap! Swish~
At the same time, high in the sky, while the three beasts were busy dealing with each other, the brown hawk with a wingspan of two meters suddenly released a weak light that enveloped its being, making its body slightly translucent before directly diving down toward the direction of the silver root, planning to take it amidst the chaos before fleeing.
Swish!
Silence~
...
However...
Unexpectedly, seemingly predicting this, the eyes of the three beasts suddenly glinted with piercing light. All at once, they simultaneously stop attacking each other as they abruptly shift their attention toward the direction of the translucent figure of the hawk!
Then, without further ado, under the sensation of forbidding that the hawk is currently feeling, the three land beasts instantaneously release their unique skills.
As if they have a tacit understanding of each other, the skills they release cover up the hawk's escape route!
Pierce!
Screechhh!!!
...
"This, I'm late.'
While the battle is currently ongoing, not far away from where the chaos is unfolding, the thin silhouette of Naib can be seen hiding in the remains of the tree nearby, eyes squinting as he tries to discern what is unfolding in the distance.
Fortunately, with the moonlight above and the silver glow that the unknown item in the deep trench was giving, he could at least barely see what was going on, making his eyes glint in both excitement and fear.
"A 5-meter-long earth centipede, an unknown beast, and a Mud Forest frog— they all should be in the awakening realm. Sigh, I surely have no chance to get that opportunity.'
Remembering the difference between a mortal beast and an awakening realm beast, Naib can only shake his head bitterly.
While the two realms are still within the scope of mortality, the awakening realm allowed a beast to awaken their basic intelligence, hence, allowing them to make choices instead of blindly following their instinct like those in the mortal realm.
Basically making them much more dreadful to face off!
Although their intelligence couldn't compare to a human, their hunting efficiency upon breaking into this realm became more terrifying!
...
Sigh.
"Even though I might not be able to get that opportunity, watching them fight should benefit me somehow. Moreover, if they all die, I might even have a chance to take that item!
"Of course, that happening should be nil; if they knew that they have no chance, they would likely choose to preserve their life rather than fighting a hopeless situation.'
Sighing weakly, Naib silently activated the potential seeing eyes only to furrow his brow in the next second. It's not because he saw something troublesome; instead, the potential seeing eyes failed to give any information regarding the four beasts!
Ding!
[ The distance is quite far; can't give clear information. ]
"Is this the weakness of this talent? However, thinking of it, it should be possible considering that my realm is too low; its ability to discern information should increase with my realm."
Not caring too much about the talent bestowed by the system, Naib focuses his attention on the unfolding fight in the distance.
...
Boom!
Screechhh!!!
Going back to earlier, the brown hawk, upon seeing that evading is futile, immediately utilizes one of its skills, causing its wings to harden, being coated by an earthly aura before covering its body with its wings!
Tear...
Unfortunately, due to the sudden changes of the event, the hawk only managed to crudely and halfly utilize the skill, causing the skills of the three land beasts to penetrate its rough defense, severely injuring its body in the process, to the point of almost ripping its wings.
Screeechhhh!!!
Not caring about the agonizing cry of the hawk, the Mud Forest Frog, which is the nearest to the latter, immediately flings its toxic tongue, attempting to bind the other party before killing it with its poison.
Slick~
In an instant, its saliva splashed nearby, corroding the desolate earth it bumped into as a fume of dark-green smoke inevitably rose through the atmosphere, before its tongue finally hit the wounds of the hawk, akin to a whip, further deepening the cry of the latter.
Kekeke.
Seeing this, the monkey, with a smirk hanging on the corner of its lips, immediately pounded its fist toward the ground, causing two earth spears to timely rise beneath the feet of the Mud Forest Frog and the screeching hawk in the distance.
