Beast Taming: Slaughter Atlas

Lei Yao and the Golden Armored Bull slowly released their skills, each holding two Star Power Pills in their mouths. Whenever they sensed a depletion of Star Power, they replenished it immediately. With no shortage of Elixir Pills, wasting a few wasn't an issue.

The Three-headed Flame Python continuously spewed flames to fend off the attacks from the two beasts.

At first, it didn't pay much attention to these attacks. Each time an attack came, it easily deflected them.

Gradually, the frequency of the attacks from the ape and the bull increased, causing its Star Power consumption to rise significantly.

When it realized things were not so simple, it had already consumed forty percent of its Star Power and began losing patience.

After blocking each attack, it let out an angry hiss.

As the hissing grew louder, the fury of the Three-headed Flame Python became uncontrollable.

The three snakeheads lowered to the ground, its massive body exerting a slight force, and it emerged from the pit.

Only then did Chu Chen see the full appearance of the Three-headed Flame Python.

Its body was about seven to eight meters long, with the thickest part of its body over a meter in diameter, about a third larger than the Forest Giant Python.

This size was overwhelmingly oppressive. Chu Chen and Mu Chengxue couldn't help but take a few steps back, and the fear hidden within their hearts was drawn out.

Chu Chen took a deep breath, suppressing the fear that had just emerged within him.

He nudged Mu Chengxue and said solemnly, "Don't just stand there, follow through with the plan."

Hearing this, Mu Chengxue snapped back to reality. She dared not delay, promptly directing the Golden Armored Bull to run to the side.

The Three-headed Flame Python fixated on the Golden Armored Bull, twisted its body, and pursued it.

Seeing this, Chu Chen quickly instructed Lei Yao to attack.

The Three-headed Flame Python quickly halted, spewing flames from its snake mouth to block the Thunder Blade, then continued to pursue the Golden Armored Bull.

"Lei Yao, go pick the Star-Raising Fruit."

Hearing this, Lei Yao immediately ran towards the Star-Raising Fruit Tree.

Seeing this, the Three-headed Flame Python had to stop again, twisting its body to charge at Lei Yao.

Seeing this, Lei Yao immediately retreated.

"Mu Chengxue, take action."

The Golden Armored Bull let out a low roar, and a golden beam shot towards the Three-headed Flame Python.

The Three-headed Flame Python had to fend off the Golden Armored Bull's attack once more.

Under Chu Chen's command, the two coordinated seamlessly, leaving the Three-headed Flame Python spinning in circles, further depleting its Star Power.

Sometimes, after blocking an attack, the Three-headed Flame Python would immediately switch its attack target.

Chu Chen would adjust based on the situation.

Soon, the Three-headed Flame Python had consumed seventy to eighty percent of its Star Power, and its anger had reached its peak.

When Chu Chen and the others employed the tug-of-war tactic again, the Three-headed Flame Python no longer pursued the two beasts.

Seeing this, Chu Chen frowned. Just as he was puzzled about the opponent's intention.

The Three-headed Flame Python suddenly let out a roar, quickly attracting the surrounding Fire Element to converge upon it.

Realizing things were amiss, Chu Chen shouted, "Run, it's about to unleash its ultimate move."

Upon hearing this, Mu Chengxue's heart skipped a beat. Not daring to delay, she quickly commanded the Golden Armored Bull to flee into the distance.

Although Lei Yao wasn't adept at running, its burst speed was impressive, and in just one breath, it had darted several meters away.

At that moment, the Three-headed Flame Python's three snake mouths suddenly spewed three massive pillars of fire, each about a meter thick.

Two of these fire pillars shot towards Chu Chen, while another was aimed at Mu Chengxue.

This left Chu Chen speechless; could it be that even Star Beasts have learned to show tenderness?

He didn't have time to think any further and immediately used his Soul Skill "Barrier," positioning it behind the Thunder Ape while he clung tightly to Lei Yao's back.

At that moment, Lei Yao's surface was quickly covered with a layer of armor woven from thunder, enveloping Chu Chen within it.

"Boom"

A loud explosion echoed not far behind Lei Yao.

An immensely powerful blast of air spread out in all directions.

Lei Yao bore the brunt, with the Soul Skill "Barrier" shattering in just half a breath.

Chu Chen felt an incredibly scorching airflow brush over his head, while Lei Yao was directly flung away.

The Thunder Armor emitted a "creak" sound before eventually shattering under the onslaught of the blast.

Fortunately, the blast lasted only a few breaths before gradually subsiding.

At that moment, Lei Yao was lying on the ground, face down in the blackened earth, its fur curled and emanating a slight charred smell, appearing extremely pathetic.

Chu Chen wasn't much better off, his face blackened, and his once neat hair now curled, resembling an aboriginal from the African Savanna.

A gentle breeze blew past, sending a chill down his back. Raising his hand to touch his back, he found his clothes were missing.

He quickly stood up, and the clothes on his chest slid off in the process.

Seeing this, Chu Chen couldn't help but give a wry smile, then tore off the tattered sleeves from his arms and pulled out a set of clean clothes from the Space Necklace to change into.

At that moment, Mu Chengxue also got up. Her appearance was equally peculiar, sporting a blackened face similar to Chu Chen's, with her straight hair turned into small waves. Although her clothes were somewhat tattered, they were largely intact without any embarrassing exposures, making her look like a little beggar from afar.

Though the two people and their beasts appeared extremely disheveled, they were unharmed, which was a blessing.

After ensuring Mu Chengxue was fine, Chu Chen began assessing the surroundings. The once-dense weeds had vanished, leaving only blackened soil.

The culprit wasn't doing well either. Having just used its strongest ultimate move, it had drained the remaining twenty to thirty percent of its Star Power, breathing heavily as if its body had been hollowed out.

Finally, Chu Chen set his gaze on the Star-Raising Fruit Tree. Seeing it unharmed, he breathed a sigh of relief.

As Chu Chen observed the Three-headed Flame Python, it also noticed him.

Upon seeing the two still alive, the Three-headed Flame Python let out an enraged hiss, but it didn't attack. Instead, it fixed its gaze on the Star-Raising Fruit.

Seeing this, Chu Chen realized they were in trouble. With its Star Power depleted and seeing the two unharmed, the Three-headed Flame Python knew the battle was inevitable. To quickly restore its Star Power, the Star-Raising Fruit, rich in Star Power, was an opportunity it wouldn't miss.

"Lei Yao, stop it quickly," Chu Chen shouted anxiously.

At the moment Chu Chen's voice fell, Lei Yao charged out, with the Thunder Blade forming mid-run.

At that time, one head of the Three-headed Flame Python was already at the Star-Raising Fruit Tree, opening its massive snake mouth to engulf the three Star-Raising Fruits.

"Boom"

A flash of thunder sliced directly onto the snakehead.

Swayed by the force of the slashing strike, the snakehead bit into thin air, while the scales on its neck were all shattered. Dense electric currents danced across its body, rendering the Three-headed Flame Python momentarily paralyzed.

The thunder attribute's paralyzing effect took its toll; without the protection of Star Power, the Three-headed Flame Python couldn't resist the elemental damage.

At this moment, a golden beam shot directly at the injured neck of the Three-headed Flame Python. Without the protection of its scales, its flesh was extremely fragile, causing the enormous snakehead to be severed.
