Beast Taming Era: I Became Groudon

Chapter 84: Funny People Born in the Insect Family
"Grador is so powerful, Xiaojuan."

"If I meet him, I'm afraid I won't be his match." Bingli, who was standing at the door of the waiting room, said as she looked at the dense pillar of molten lava. The opponent's attack was very restraining to her blowing snow and her illusion. This kind of field bombing skill was not something she could resist at all.

"I understand, but Groudon used such a large-scale attack, he must not have much energy left in his body. Maybe when we meet him, his energy has not recovered yet. Maybe we have the strength to fight." Hearing this, Bai Xiaojuan replied. She also understood that this move of Groudon was very effective in restraining Xiaoli's skills.

But with such a large-scale attack and explosion, it is impossible for Groudon to have much energy left.

Maybe when they meet Groudon, they will be able to win?

"It depends on whether the next game can be finished quickly. As long as the next game is finished quickly, we will have a chance of winning."

Upon hearing this, Bingli replied.

"Black Tengu, do you think you can withstand this move?" Fan Lingling asked Black Tengu, such a powerful field bombardment.

This should be Groudon’s trump card.

"I don't need to fight him head-on or resist. My advantage lies in the air. As long as he can't hit me, no matter how many cards he has or how much damage he has, he can't beat me." Hearing this, Black Tengu looked at the battle stage and said, "The reason why this wild ape was defeated so quickly is that he had to stand on the ground. No matter where he ran, he couldn't resist Groudon's attack unless he jumped out of the competition venue."

This kind of indiscriminate large-scale attack damage is indeed not something he can withstand, but as long as he flies high enough, this kind of attack will be ineffective to him.

He has seen through Groudon and knows that he is no match for him.

Even if the opponent's skills are very powerful, as long as you can't hit him, Groudon will be the loser.

"Now please welcome Fan Lingling and Zhang Wei to the stage. The fourth round will begin soon."

After Xu Tingting and Zhong Cong left the field, the referee came on and cleaned up all the lava columns, then shouted loudly.

"Black Tengu, it's time for us to go on stage and end the battle as soon as possible." Fan Lingling said after hearing this.

"Yeah." Black Tengu nodded and walked towards the fighting stage.

"Grawoman, you are awesome. You actually defeated senior Zhou Jia." Xu Tingting said excitedly after returning to the waiting room, but still felt like she was dreaming.

She and Groudon actually defeated Zhou Jia, the strongest senior in the dormitory. This is simply unimaginable.

"That's nothing. I haven't really started yet." Hearing this, Zhong Cong waved his paw and said, "Just be responsible for winning. I said I would help you win the championship in the grade competition, and you will win it."

"Be more confident next time and don't be so scared. The other side is not that powerful."

"Yes, I will. Groudon." Xu Tingting nodded in response when she heard that.

"Okay, you should take a rest too. The battle with this Black Tengu should be over soon. I will have to go on the field again in the next match. I need to recover my energy a little to prepare for the next battle." Zhong Cong looked at the fighting stage and lay down.

This Black Tengu is quite powerful. The beast on the opposite side will probably lose within two rounds. He has to recover his energy while there is still one game left, so as to avoid losing due to lack of energy.

"Okay, Groudon, you take a rest first." Xu Tingting replied after hearing this, and then walked to the door of the waiting room to keep watch for Zhong Cong.

"Big storm." Black Tengu didn't say much when he came on the field. He flew into the sky and flapped his wings. The fierce wind blew the soldier ants standing on the battle stage to the point of being shaky. They might fly out of the competition venue at any time.

"The soldier ants use burrowing to avoid the strong wind." Zhang Wei gave the order. Fighting against the sky-type Black Tengu was not his strong point, but he could still delay time without any problem.

As long as he hides underground, this Black Tengu will have no chance of hitting his beast, and the opponent is still flying in the sky. Flying like this will definitely consume his physical strength. As long as it continues to drag on, he will definitely win.

Upon hearing this, the soldier ant immediately dug a hole in the ground and crawled into it.

Black Tengu, who saw this scene, was not surprised. He flapped his wings around the cave entrance, and a rotating tornado appeared. The powerful suction force directly sucked out the soldier ants hiding underground.

Looking at the soldier ants being sucked into the tornado, Black Tengu flew towards the soldier ants. However, what Black Tengu did not expect was that the soldier ants, which seemed to be flying with the tornado, actually had the ability to fight back.

When he got close, it sprayed a mouthful of formic acid at his face, then flapped its small wings behind it and flew up, biting his neck and injecting poison.

After being bitten, Black Tengu used his iron wings to slap the soldier ants away, and then a strong wind blew the soldier ants out of the field.

"What! Why can this soldier ant fly?" Fan Lingling's face changed when she saw this scene. Ordinary soldier ants cannot fly.

What's going on with this soldier ant? Could it be...

"If I'm not mistaken, this soldier ant will soon become the soldier king of ants." Xu Jian said thoughtfully as he looked at the soldier ant that fell outside the field.

Although he knew little about insect-type beast tamers, he was deeply impressed by the Soldier Ants.

Because it is the strangest Beastmaster among all the Insect-type Beastmasters, other Beastmasters should become stronger and stronger during this period when they are about to become King-level Beastmasters.

But the soldier ants are indeed an exception. Their strength will actually regress. Only after becoming a king-level beastmaster will their strength be restored to what it should be at the king level.

If this soldier ant had not grown wings, it would not have been defeated so quickly.

"That's right. The soldier ants will only grow wings when they become soldier king ants."

Jiang Xiaoyun, who was standing by, nodded and replied, his eyes fixed on the Black Tengu slowly falling from the sky.

"Black Tengu, are you okay?" Seeing Black Tengu falling, Fan Lingling hurried over and asked.

I'm a little worried about whether Black Tengu can continue to fight.

"I'm fine, I was just careless." Hearing this, Black Tengu waved his wings to tell Fan Lingling not to worry, then staggered away.

After Fan Lingling and Black Tengu left the fighting stage, the fifth battle began...

More than ten minutes later, as both sides fell off the field, Luo Yongquan, who was standing on the stage, won the final victory.

"The second round of competition has officially ended. The next five students will draw a lottery to decide their opponents. One lucky student among you will directly skip this round and enter the final battle for the championship and runner-up, while the other four will compete for the last two spots." The referee said after walking onto the stage, holding up the microphone.

Xu Tingting and others started drawing lots.

"What number did you draw?" After taking out a small ball from the box, Xu Tingting looked at Fan Lingling and Bai Xiaojuan nervously, fearing that she would face them.

"I'm number one." Bai Xiaojuan said, raising the ball in her hand.

"My ball doesn't have any numbers. It seems I'm lucky. I can enter the finals directly." Fan Lingling on the side said.

"I'm number four, so I shouldn't match you." After hearing the two people's answers, Xu Tingting couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"That's great. We should meet in the final championship match."

Bai Xiaojuan said with a smile after hearing this.

"Yes, the top three in the grade competition are all from our dormitory. It's quite interesting." Fan Lingling said with a smile.

"Students, please give me the ball. I will arrange your opponents here." The referee saw that the three were talking without giving him the ball, so he spoke to the three.

After hearing this, the three people hurriedly handed the ball in their hands to the referee. After the referee took it, he pasted the names of the players on the blackboard and said:
"The first match will be between Bai Xiaojuan and Luo Yongquan."

"The second match will be between Xu Tingting and Li Changrong."

"As for Fan Lingling, she skipped this match and went straight to the championship and runner-up competition."

"The first match is about to begin. Students Bai Xiaojuan and Luo Yongquan, please stay. The rest of you, please return to the waiting room."

"Okay, teacher."

The three people who heard it nodded and left the fighting stage, leaving only Bai Xiaojuan and Luo Yongquan.

With that, the referee's match begins.

Both sides commanded their beasts to start fighting.

"Gurado is here, it will be your turn soon." After returning, Xu Tingting looked at the fierce battle on the stage and shook Zhong Cong and said.

"So fast? How long has it been?" Hearing this, Zhong Cong opened his eyes in a daze, and heard the sound of Bingli's victory.

He shook his head, got up from the ground and asked, "Who is my opponent in this match?"

"Sand Scorpion, your opponent is the Sand Scorpion. Groudon." Xu Tingting replied after hearing this.

"Sand Scorpion? That little scorpion?" Zhong Cong nodded and said, "Okay, let's go up. That little scorpion is not that powerful. It is much easier to deal with than the gorilla."

"Yeah." Hearing this, Xu Tingting nodded, and the man and the beast came to the fighting stage.

"Arong, the earth dragon is coming." Looking at Zhong Cong walking towards him, the Sand Scorpion said nervously.

He had seen the large-scale bombing skills released by the opponent and did not have much confidence in dealing with this move.

"I saw it. Don't panic." Hearing this, Li Changrong said, "Let's try to fight him first and see if he can recover his energy."

"As soon as he regains his energy, I will admit defeat immediately."

He had finally come to this point, and he would never be willing to surrender without giving it a try.

"Then remember to tell me earlier." The Sand Scorpion reminded.

A Rong, don't wait until he is hit by his first skill before you say anything, otherwise he will fly around like a gorilla.

"Of course." Li Changrong nodded and said.

"The competition has now officially begun, and both sides can prepare for the fight." After looking at Li Changrong and Xu Tingting, the referee jumped off the fighting stage first.

"rustle"

"rustle"

As soon as the referee jumped down, the Sand Scorpion began to move. He moved to the left and to the right at the same time, as if he was not a scorpion but a water snake.

This scene immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.

"The Sand Scorpion moved first as soon as the battle started, but his steps were a little strange. Could this be some secret trick of the Sand Scorpion?" The host said while holding the microphone, his mind constantly recalling what skills the Sand Scorpion had related to this.

But nothing was found.

"What is this little scorpion doing?" Not only the audience was puzzled, but Zhong Cong was also puzzled by the strange way the sand scorpion moved.

I couldn't help but become cautious and alert, fearing that the other party would play some dirty tricks.

"Sand Scorpion, use sandstorm." Seeing that Zhong Cong did not attack first, Li Changrong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and issued an order.

It seems that the plan they had discussed earlier was still useful. As long as they kept moving and did not stay in one place, the earth dragon would not be able to attack them. Once the opponent used a large-scale bombing skill like the one in the previous game, they would surrender immediately.

"rustle"

Upon hearing this, the Sand Scorpion spewed out a tornado filled with sand while moving.

Suddenly, sand and rocks flew all over the field.

The khaki color of the Sand Scorpion blends in with the sand in the sky, achieving a stealth effect.

But before the sandstorm tornado lasted for a few seconds, Zhong Cong opened his mouth and breathed out fire, and the waves of fire in the sky immediately engulfed the sandstorm tornado.

Suddenly, white particles began to appear in the rotating sandstorm tornado. All the sand turned into distorted glass after being baked by the high temperature.

The sand scorpion, which had been sneaking around Zhong Cong, suddenly revealed its true form.

Seeing the sand around it turning into glass, the entire Sand Scorpion was dumbfounded.

Looking at Zhong Cong's gaze again, the Sand Scorpion immediately took a few steps back.

He looked like a kid who was caught doing something bad.

"The Sand Scorpion used the sandstorm as cover to sneak up to Groudon, but unfortunately after the Big Fire Breath burned all the sand into glass."

"His plan has also failed. So what will Sandy Sandy Scorpio do next?"

When the host saw the Sand Scorpion like this, he couldn't help but laugh and said.

"Is this sand scorpion serious about taking a few steps back?"

"I don't know, but this sand scorpion is really funny. I can see how embarrassed he was just now even from where I'm sitting."

"Yeah, I didn't expect the Sand Scorpion to be such a funny beast. I thought he was very ferocious."

The audience found it very amusing to see the Sand Scorpion take a few steps back.

"Why are you leaving? Now that you're here, come and sit for a while." Looking at the retreating sand scorpion, Zhong Cong stomped his feet, and a huge column of molten lava blocked the sand scorpion's retreat.

This guy is quite good at climbing. He sneaked up to his side. Does he want to hit him with his stinger?

"rustle"

"rustle"

The Sand Scorpion, whose retreat was blocked by the lava column, moved sideways to the side like a crab.

"You are a scorpion, okay? Why are you trying to imitate a crab?" Zhong Cong was speechless after seeing this scene. It was really enough for a scorpion to walk sideways.

Forget it, since this guy doesn't want to stay.

Then he would just give this guy a deluxe explosive meal. He was not in the mood to wonder why this sand scorpion was moving around so strangely.

Before they stepped on the blazing light, a loud shout came over them: "Stop fighting, we admit defeat."

"(⊙o⊙) What?" Zhong Cong was stunned when he heard this, and saw the Sand Scorpion "swoosh" running to Li Changrong, fearing that if it ran too late, it would never be able to get through.

"Student Li Changrong chooses to surrender. The winner of this match is student Xu Tingting and her Groudon." Looking at the Sand Scorpion hiding behind Li Changrong, the referee said with twitching eyelids.

What on earth is this sand scorpion afraid of? Why is it hiding behind the beastmaster? What else can happen if he surrenders?
