CHAPTER 331 THE THREE-TAILED AQUATIC LIZARD

Suddenly, a wild spirit-manipulated beast slowly rose from the vortex. It looked like a giant lizard with

three tails. Its whole body was covered with a thick film like a bizarre water gloss, which could function

as a natural disguise. Its three tails swung in the air haphazardly. The spirit-manipulated beast was like

a chameleon, its color changed and adapted to blend with its environment.

"A Three-tailed Aquatic Lizard!" Rocky exclaimed excitedly when he saw the spirit-manipulated beast.

His eyes sparkled with eagerness and curiosity.

As stated by the Beast Encyclopedia, the Three-tailed Aquatic Lizard was a special spirit-manipulated

beast, similar to the Dark Heaven Insect. What differentiated it from the Dark Heaven Insect was that

the Three-tailed Aquatic Lizard could not lay eggs. In its stead, it produced the Water Essence Pill as it

absorbed the spiritual power continually since it lived under water.

The quality and power of the Water Essence Pill were heavily associated with the level of the beast.

The highest grade for the beast was four stars. And a four-star beast could produce the highest-level

Water Essence Pill. Although the beast in front of him was only a three-star one, he could tell that the

power of the pill inside the body was much stronger than that of a medium-grade Dark Heaven Egg.

And the Three-tailed Aquatic Lizard was just as rare as the Dark Heaven Insect due to its innate hiding

ability. If they did not want to show themselves, even the master of the Supernal Stage could not find

any traces of them. It was often said that even if the beast stood right in front of the master, he would

still be unable to sense it. That was definitely not an exaggeration.

"It looks like it's only at the lower third grade of three stars, but it has amazing strength equal to the

spirit manipulator of the preliminary level of the Heavenly Stage." Rocky analyzed the beast quickly. His

mind scrutinized each feature as he decided how he could defeat it.

"Let's get started!" Rocky firmly commanded Uriah and Rubygon.

Since Uriah and Rubygon had cooperated with each other plenty of times in the past, they already

knew each other's fighting style well. They separated immediately after they received the order from

Rocky. Meanwhile, the Rainbow Glow Unicorn suddenly headed to Rocky instead of the enemy and

took all of the magical saliva in his hand. When it finished that, the Rainbow Glow Unicorn seemed to

glow in satisfaction and disappeared.

"What a yellow-bellied but gluttonous kid." Rocky shrugged but he really could not do anything about

the beast. In fact, that was not first time that the Rainbow Glow Unicorn did that. It behaved like a

rascal when the Rainbow Glow Unicorn started getting along with him. Rocky was kind of annoyed by

the Unicorn but he had not come up with a solution to that problem yet.

That wasn't his priority. His priority at that moment was to kill that beast. He needed to attain that Water

Essence Pill which was more precious and more powerful than a Dark Heaven Egg.

Rocky was confident because he had prepared himself well. He seized the bottle of the magical saliva

he had and hurried backwards. The Three-tailed Aquatic Lizard was successfully lured by the magical

saliva and followed Rocky. But when they had come close to the shore, the beast stopped with its eyes

still fixed on Rocky.

When he noticed that, Rocky stayed where he was and gestured for Uriah and Rubygon subtly.

Obediently, Uriah and Rubygon rushed towards the beast, their fangs bared in a snarl.

However, the Three-tailed Aquatic Lizard was not even surprised by the attack of the two beasts. It

calmly swung its giant head and two water bombs flew out towards Uriah and Rubygon. The bombs

looked powerful and reached a length of two meters.

Bang! Bang! holds text © rights.

The bombs exploded in front of the two beasts. Uriah and Rubygon were knocked back due to its

tremendous impact.

"It's a pretty tough nut to crack, huh?" Rocky frowned at the whole situation. After a short deliberation,

he took out the Frozen Wind Dagger and whistled for Rubygon. At once, Rubygon advanced towards

the beast again.

The beast reacted quickly and was able to dodge Rubygon. It threw two more water bombs to Rubygon

in retaliation. Rubygon dodged the water bombs effortlessly. They missed their target and flew off past

Rubygon.

At the same time, Uriah's whole body was covered by a red armor that looked like a burnt iron sheet.

Moreover, Uriah's body was on fire, the air heated up around it. The fire extended from Uriah's sides

like a pair of fiery wings. These wings started beating hard, and Uriah took off towards the beast.

The beast sensed the danger from the other side. It intended to send out another water bomb towards

Uriah and Rocky but the two were quick to act.

Rocky threw the Frozen Wind Dagger to the beast and watched as it blew up like an ice flame with

thick spiritual power. To Rocky's surprise, even before the blow reached its body, the beast had been

enveloped in a shining light and water film.

The blow collided with the film with a loud bang. It created several ripples on the film before it got quiet

again.

Then the beast sent out three water bombs at the same time to Rocky. It was so fast that Rocky didn't

have enough time to escape and was trapped in a sticky situation.

Rocky's heart dropped but he kept moving. He activated the Nebula Cloud Transformation that could

resist several water bombs all at once. The problem was that the Nebula Cloud Transformation only

canceled out two of them.

Another bomb was about to reach Rocky in under a minute, one that could not be canceled out by the

Nebula Cloud Transformation. Just in time, a fire ball cut in and hit it.

Rocky quickly stepped back and let out a relieved breath. He had broken into cold sweat, droplets of

sweat gathered on his forehead and nape. He would have gotten badly injured if not for Uriah's timely

assist.

Rocky knew he needed to break through that water film to get that pill. Unfortunately, the film was so

strong that even the Frozen Wind Dagger enhanced spiritual power could not penetrate into it.

"Uriah, have a try." Rocky ordered Uriah after he recovered from the last attack. He was more cautious

now and he needed more data before he could strategize properly. He made his spiritual beast hit that

water film. If his beast could not succeed, then it was impossible to get the pill.

Uriah activated all of its power and the flames around it burned brighter. Powered up, Uriah rushed

towards the Three-tailed Aquatic Lizard. The beast did not stop either. It sent out several high-speed

compressed water bombs to Uriah. Through the gap between those attacks, Uriah dived down and got

closer to the beast. It struck hard against the water film. Steam sizzled out from where Uriah had dug

its claws.

At first, the steam gave Rocky hope. But when he noticed that all Uriah's fire power accomplished was

that it made the beast steam, he realized he was in big trouble.

Despite the fact that the Three-tailed Aquatic Lizard was only at the third grade of three stars, it

seemed that it was more powerful than any other beast with the same level. Nothing Uriah did seemed

to have an effect on the beast and he was at a loss.

Rocky ordered Uriah and Rubygon and they attacked continuously. This way, the beast was sufficiently

distracted as he tried to think of a plan.

Rocky rattled his mind for everything he knew about the beast.

"If we can't break down its shield even for a short time, we at least need to block its attack. It seemed

that water bomb was its only way of attacking. If we can block the water bomb, there is no other choice

for it but to give up," Rocky muttered to himself.

He once again consulted the Beast Encyclopedia in his mind for the information about the beast.

According to the book, there was a special organ that enabled the beast to compress water into a

bomb. And obviously, the source of the water was not its own body but the pool. If he could just

separate the beast from the water, he could stop it from producing bombs. Yeah, that was a good plan.

Now to the hard part, how was he supposed to do that?
