Chapter 31

Bright red blood sprayed everywhere. Amid the crimson spray, a foul stench spread through the air, nauseating anyone who smelled it. Provoked by the scent of blood, the bear-shaped magical beast grew exceptionally frenzied, its enormous pupils flooded with scarlet.

The bear-shaped magical beast was incredibly powerful. Its speed and strength were both terrifying, making it exceptionally difficult for Xiao Ming to kill it.

"Damn it, this thing's defense is incredibly strong, and its strength can't be judged by common sense. If this keeps up, it'll wear me to death sooner or later."

Xiao Ming looked at the bear-shaped magical beast, which he had battered into a sorry state, yet whose aura had not weakened in the slightest. Anxiety showed on his face.

"Damn it, what should I do? What am I supposed to do now? This damned thing is far too strong. If I don't find a way to deal with it soon, then once those two wolf-shaped magical beasts return, I'll definitely die without a burial place."

Xiao Ming muttered to himself, then fixed his gaze on the bear-shaped magical beast before him. He knew that if he wanted to escape its grasp now, he could only rely on the Gungnir in his hand.

With that thought, Xiao Yan hurriedly took out Gungnir and gripped it tightly.

"Since that's the case, I'll fight you first."

Xiao Ming let out a cold shout in his heart, and the Gungnir in his hand instantly turned into a silver-white streak of sharp light.

Whoosh!!!

As Xiao Ming attacked the bear-shaped magical beast with Gungnir in hand, he simultaneously used his teleportation technique. His entire body vanished from where he stood.

With a teleport, Xiao Ming arrived beside the bear-shaped magical beast in the blink of an eye.

After appearing beside it, the corner of Xiao Ming's lips curled slightly. "It seems I can only use all my strength if I want to contend with you."

"Hmph!!"

Hearing Xiao Ming's words, the bear-shaped magical beast let out a deafening roar. It then leaped fiercely toward where Xiao Ming stood and smashed a massive fist down at him.

"What terrifying strength."

Seeing this, Xiao Ming hurriedly used teleportation to evade the blow.

Though Xiao Ming avoided the fist, the tremendous shockwave still sent him flying. He smashed through several rocks along the way before crashing heavily onto the ground, making the earth tremble violently.

"Cough, cough..."

A string of coughs rang out as Xiao Ming struggled to climb up from the ground, his face showing signs of pallor.

"What immense strength. If I hadn't dodged quickly, I really would have been in grave danger this time."

Looking at the bear-shaped magical beast before him, Xiao Ming drew a sharp breath, a trace of horror flashing through his eyes.

After all, he had only been able to contend with it just now by relying on sheer willpower.

"Since you want to fight me, then I can only accompany you to the end!"

Xiao Ming sneered at the gigantic bear-shaped magical beast before him, gripping Gungnir's shaft.

Swish, swish, swish!!!

After gripping the spear shaft, Xiao Ming poured all of his Dou Qi into it. Then a dazzling blaze erupted from his body, and the searing flames instantly enveloped him.

The flames were incredibly hot. Wrapped within them, Xiao Ming could clearly feel the scorching heat radiating from his own body.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!

The blazing flames burned Xiao Ming's body. Under the searing heat, his clothes continued to burn, while black smoke rose endlessly from his body.

Yet Xiao Ming paid it no mind. Instead, he continued to drive Gungnir, intending to finish off the bear-shaped magical beast as quickly as possible, because its strength was simply too terrifying.

"Roar!!!"

Just as Xiao Ming continued controlling Gungnir to launch his assault, a piercing roar suddenly erupted from the bear-shaped magical beast's throat. The soundwaves spread in an instant, making Xiao Ming feel as though his chest were churning violently.

This sudden development on Xiao Ming's side also drew the attention of the surrounding magical beasts. At once, vicious glints flashed in their eyes.

"Roar!!!"

Deep roars echoed continuously through the valley, sounding exceptionally horrifying.

After roaring, those magical beasts directly surrounded Xiao Ming within the valley.

Faced with the blockade of these magical beasts, Xiao Ming fell into danger in an instant. Their numbers were simply too great. Even though Xiao Ming possessed combat strength infinitely close to the Dou Spirit level, having to deal with the bear-shaped magical beast under the watchful eyes of all these magical beasts left him constrained at every turn. He had no chance of victory at all.

The instant the magical beasts surrounded Xiao Ming, the bear-shaped magical beast also let out an angry roar. Its body then shot toward Xiao Ming like a cannonball.

"Get lost!!!"

Seeing this, Xiao Ming shouted, directly aiming the Gungnir in his hand at the bear-shaped magical beast.

Whoosh!!!

Driven by Xiao Ming, Gungnir shot forth at once. It traced a graceful arc through the air before landing directly on the bear-shaped magical beast's head.

"Pfft!"

Under the astonished gazes of the magical beasts all over the mountain, the bear-shaped magical beast's forehead was pierced straight through. Blood immediately burst forth and splattered across the ground. The instant it fell, a nauseatingly foul stench spread through the air.

"Roar... roar..."

The surrounding magical beasts were all stunned by the sight on the ground. They had never expected the bear-shaped magical beast to be killed in a single blow, without even having time to let out a scream. It left them utterly bewildered.

"What tremendous power. This is strength capable of rivaling a Dou Spirit."

Feeling Gungnir's power, Xiao Ming was secretly shocked. A deep excitement then rose in his eyes.

"It seems this trip has truly been worthwhile."

Xiao Ming could not help muttering to himself, a trace of delight flashing through his eyes. He could sense that the bear-shaped magical beast's body contained immensely powerful energy.

"Hahaha, this is a good thing indeed!"

After searching for a while, Xiao Ming could not help throwing back his head and laughing wildly.

That was because Xiao Ming had dug out a beast core brimming with immense power from within the bear-shaped magical beast's body.
