Chapter 139: Hippopotamus Affinity?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lin Yuan knew that it was inevitable for people to get injured and sacrificed in the battle to defend Millstone Town and fight against the insect tide. However, he could only allocate the other healing-type spirit qi professionals to the rear while he healed the front line.

As such, he could ensure the survival of those healing-type spirit qi professionals that could not defend themselves—only by ensuring their survival could the people receive more healing.

Given his capabilities, Lin Yuan was confident that he could do a good job healing the front line. Actually, this was because his Jasmine Lily was a Fantasy Breed. Otherwise, he would not dare to be so bold.

Even if there would be sacrifices in the battle, Lin Yuan would also do his best to maintain the sacrifices at the minimum within his ability.

The insect tide was a breath away, and all the feys had taken their positions, ready to meet their enemies.

Lin Yuan finally got to know why even though Tan Ran loved cute feline feys, Zhang Xiaobai had said that the former was not fated with cute feys in this lifetime.

Two of Tan Ran’s five-meter-long and three-meter-tall huge feys stood there. One was a Gold Lava Hippopotamus, while the other was a Silver Gluttony Hippopotamus.

When Lin Yuan looked at Tan Ran, who had natural curls, a cute face, and smooth skin, a guess arose in his heart.

Is Tan Ran’s affinity for feys more inclined toward hippopotamus feys?

This was simply a discrepancy in cuteness!

When Zhang Xiaobai saw that the insect tide had rushed to less than 100 meters before him and would reach him in a few seconds, he and his Bloody Leech immediately stood in the very front.

Accompanied by a flash of sword light, Zhang Xiaobai cut his wrist, causing fresh blood to drop on the Bloody Leech right away. He then yelled, “Little Red, use Oily Plasma.”

The Bloody Leech’s body quickly secreted a layer of lustrous dark-red plasma, which was as sticky as oil.

Oily Plasma was actually an ability to defend against damage caused by sharp weapons and heavy blows.

Before the sharp weapons could cut the Bloody Leech, the Oily Plasma would slide away the sharp blades. And when there was a heavy blow, this layer of Oily Plasma could also serve as a cushioning role.

It was just that he now used this Oily Plasma as a tool to attract the alien insects.

The actual world was no game. Defense-type spirit qi professionals did not have taunting abilities, which only existed in games. Nonetheless, the Oily Plasma ability was just like a taunting ability to the alien insects.

The Oily Plasma emitted a thick stench of blood with a mixture of oil and blood that stimulated the alien insects nearby when diffused into the night sky.

The alien insects that smelled this stench of oil and blood rapidly rushed toward the Bloody Leech right away.

Zhang Xiaobai had taken advantage of the alien insects’ weakness. When the bloody smell attracted the alien insects, they crashed into the Gale Shield around the Bloody Leech.

A dozen layers of Gale Shields had covered the Bloody Leech’s body. The gale circulated rapidly on this Gale Shield’s surface and stirred the gradeless alien insects into smithereens.

Although many alien insects approached wave after wave, these dozen Gale Shield layers did not suffer any damage. Instead, they ran out of energy and dissipated when the Gale Shield turned the alien insects into smithereens.

Many low-grade alien insect corpses on both sides of the Gale Shield built up half of the fortification on this side.

The alien insect corpses on both sides were three meters high, with only a gap between where the Bloody Leech stood.

Upon seeing that the fortification on this side almost built up, Zhang Xiaobai immediately led the Bloody Leech to retreat. Then, he moved to another side of the battlefield to help build the fortification and fight against the insect swarm’s fierce attacks.

Zhang Xiaobai handed over the fortifications to the spirit qi professionals led by Millstone Town’s Guild Alliance’s branch president to guard.

On the other side, Tan Ran’s Gold Lava Hippopotamus used its Gold ability, Melting Mantle.

The land in front of the Gold Lava Hippopotamus suddenly churned, and the black land slowly turned red. It emitted a scorching heat and crimson blaze.

The land within this range turned into slow-flowing lava that melted and cremated many alien insects.

At the side, the Gluttony Hippopotamus bit those alien insects that stepped on their companions’ corpses to come over and chewed and swallowed them.

The alien insects’ blood contained strong acidic toxicity, which was nothing to the Gluttony Hippopotamus.

When Lin Yuan looked at the Gluttony Hippopotamus’ data information, he realized that its exclusive skill was interesting.

[Fey Name]: Gluttony Hippopotamus

[Fey Species]: Hippopotamidae/Hairless Horse

[Fey Grade]: Silver (7/10)

[Fey Type]: Water

[Fey Quality]: Flawless

Abilities:

[Tooth Stab]: Continuous stab with its five-inch-long sharp teeth.

[Hunger Eating]: The Gluttony Hippopotamuses are always hungry and will always crush and rapidly eat the target.

[Fasting Bomb]: The Gluttony Hippopotamuses stop eating and spew out all the accumulated energy, causing an explosion of energy.

Exclusive Skill:

[Harmful Food Purification]: The Gluttony Hippopotamuses will purify all the toxic and harmful components out of its body with the special jaw glands.

The Gluttony Hippopotamus was executing its exclusive skill and filtering out the acidic toxicity from the alien insects’ blood before it spat it out to the insect swarm. The purified acid sprayed on the alien insects’ hard shells and caused their bodies to corrode and soften.

In the process of running, the alien insects with softened shells were cut into pieces by their companions’ shells at the side, leaving their corpses with no bones left.

Xin Ying quickly hunted and killed the nearby alien insects with grades.

Regardless of Class 1 alien insects that were equivalent to Bronze feys or Class 2 alien insects that were equivalent to Silver feys, Xin Ying leaped up, and her sharp claws soon killed these alien insects.

The dead Class 1 and Class 2 alien insects were left in the swarm of mostly Normal alien insects, which immediately caused turmoil. Those low-grade alien insects madly snatched the high-grade alien insect flesh, and it was for this reason that the advance of the insect swarm was greatly reduced.

Lin Yuan’s Spirit-Gather Goldfish was still incessantly replenishing Lu Pinru’s spiritual power, while Lu Pinru was still producing the Firm Armor Silk Clothing.

Chimey was guarding by Lin Yuan’s side as the latter was standing behind Tan Ran. It would kill those alien insects that crossed Tan Ran’s line of defense with its Sound Thrust.

At that moment, Lin Yuan summoned his Jasmine Lily.
