I Can Hear the Inner Voices of Pet Beasts - Chapter 20
Xiao Yi said in shock, “What?! A single mistake would cause the entire group to be unable to continue the challenge. Isn’t that too much of a pity?”
Ling Xuewei said, “That’s right. Originally, with the strength of their group, they could at least challenge one or two levels higher.”
Xiao Yi immediately said, “Then we have to protect Ye Fei well! He is the absolute main force of our group!”
As he said that, he stuffed the healing potion he had allocated into Ye Fei’s hands and said, “I don’t need so much. Keep some more. Your pet must not be injured and eliminated!”
Ye Fei saw that Ling Xuewei and Qing Kui seemed to want to follow suit, so he quickly refused.
“I’ll give it to you guys. You guys can keep it. I have enough here. Besides, you guys have to protect your pets well.”
“Let’s try not to eliminate any of them. Let’s fight to the highest level together!”
Xiao Yi immediately echoed, “Yes! Let’s fight to the highest level together!”
The four-man team began the challenge with high morale.
The first level of the cell was densely covered with fiery-red ants!
The walls, the ground, and even the ceiling were covered in them!
The thick layer turned the entire cell into a fiery-red color!
Seeing this scene, Ling Xuewei immediately screamed!
The scarlet flame ants were alarmed by Ling Xuewei’s cry and instantly swarmed toward the four of them like a tide!
“Root entanglement!”
Ye Fei quickly summoned the nine-leaf sword grass and used its ability.
The black roots instantly spread out in all directions with Ye Fei as the center.
However, there were too many scarlet flame ants!
Ye Fei alone could not control the entire ant colony!
“Ling Xuewei! Quickly release the skill!”
Ye Fei roared loudly. Ling Xuewei was shocked back to her senses and hurriedly released her pet, Xiao Wei, to help Ye Fei control the ant colony.
The nine-leaf sword grass and the rose complemented each other, and more than half of the densely packed scarlet flame ant colony was controlled.
However, there were still quite a number of ants that escaped the net.
The nine-leafed sword grass’s entanglement ability had already reached its limit, and Ling Xuewei’s rose was also at the end of its tether.
The rest could only be forcefully killed!
“Lunar Direwolf! Lightning Claw Attack!”
On Ye Fei’s command, the Lunar Direwolf immediately charged into the ant colony. Its sharp claws waved rapidly, and large patches of scarlet flame ants were torn into pieces.
Qing Kui was also unwilling to fall behind. She released her little white tiger to fight side by side with the Lunar Direwolf.
With a wolf and a tiger blocking in front, none of the scarlet flame ants that were not controlled were able to get close to Ye Fei and the others!
Xiao Yi also released his pet crystal scorpion and gently patted its tail. “Go!”
The Crystal Scorpion also entered the ant colony. It used the poisonous needles on the tip of its tail to stab continuously, killing the surrounding scarlet flame ants one by one.
Although the scarlet flame ants were only the lowest level 1-star black iron pet beasts, their single-target damage was extremely low. They were practically unable to cause any damage to Ye Fei and the others pets.
However, their numbers were really too large. Ye Fei and the others did not have any area-of-effect damage skills, so they could only use single-target attacks to deal damage. It was really very tiring to fight.
“If only I had an area-of-effect damaging ability…”
Xiao Yi looked at his giant crystal scorpion poking the red flame ants one by one, and his heart was really anxious.
How could Ye Fei not wish for an area-of-effect ability?
Otherwise, if he kept using single-target skills, how long would he have to grind it out?
At this moment, the long-awaited system notification sounded once again —
[ Beep, activating skill ‘clear out the red flame ants’. ]
[ Mission Requirement: Kill 1,000 red flame ants using the nine-leaf sword grass. ]
[ Mission Reward: Area-of-effect damaging ability ‘Blade Dance’. ]
[ Skill Description: Blade Dance, area-of-effect damage ability (upgradable). Shoot all of your own leaves out, making them rotate at a high speed within a certain range to achieve the effect of a boomerang. The damage range increases with the level. ]
When Ye Fei heard about the quest reward, he was instantly delighted.
This was really like someone giving you a pillow when you’re sleepy, you’ll get what you need!
The system prompted: [ Do you want to accept the quest immediately? ]
If he didn’t accept it then, when would he accept it?
Ye Fei decisively used his mind to answer, “Accept it immediately!”
Following that, a line of words immediately appeared in Ye Fei’s mind —
“Mission progress 0/1000.”
Ye Fei decisively poured an entire bottle of healing potion into the nine-leaf sword grass, and then another bottle of strength potion.
When the medicinal effect was almost fully absorbed, he decisively ordered the nine-leaf sword grass to remove a small part of its root system to free up energy to attack.
“Black Blade!”
With Ye Fei’s command, the leaves around nine-leaf sword grass immediately turned from green to black, and the originally soft leaves became sharper and tougher than steel.
“Swish, swish, swish…”
The black leaves flew up and down, so fast that they even left afterimages.
The surrounding crimson flame ants were all cut into pieces.
Ye Fei looked at the constantly increasing progress of the quest in his mind, and he was very satisfied.
The effect of the healing potion and the strength potion stacked together was astonishing!
Whether it was the damage or endurance, they had all increased by a large margin compared to before!
Ye Fei did not hold back and gave the rest of the strength potion to Qing Kui and the others.
“Give it to the pet. This will greatly increase their combat power!”
Qing Kui and the others did not waste any time. They took the potion and immediately gave it to the pet.
The pet of the three of them had also been greatly enhanced. The speed at which they could destroy the red flame ants had increased by a huge margin.
“30/1000.”
“100/1000.”
“600/1000.”
..
“999/1000.”
“1000/1000.”
[ Beep, mission completed. ]
[ Reward: Nine-leaf sword grass has been upgraded to 2-star silver. Area-of-effect damage skill, blade dance has been unlocked. ]
“Finally, an area-of-effect damage skill!”
Ye Fei could not wait to order, “Nine-leafed blade grass! Blade dance!”
Nine-leaf blade grass swayed, and all of its leaves slightly retracted, as if it was charging up its power.
In the next second, all of its leaves popped out!
Like sharp blades, they spun rapidly and flew in the air.
Once they touched an obstacle, they would immediately shoot out randomly in another direction, cutting all the way!
Although nine-leaf blade grass did not have many leaves at the moment, due to its extremely sharp leaves and the fact that it could continuously change its direction and launch multiple times, its effect was quite astonishing!
What made Ye Fei even more delighted was that this characteristic of randomly changing the attack route could also be added with a disruption effect!
In other words, no matter what kind of battle they were facing in the future, this skill could have a place to play.
Even if they were facing a single enemy, this skill could also be used as a distraction skill, distracting and distracting the enemy’s attention, forcing the enemy to be distracted in the battle to guard against those random flying leaves.
This was equivalent to directly weakening the enemy’s combat strength!
It doesn’t matter if it was a single target or a group of enemies, it could be used. Such a skill could simply be called perfect!
