Bab 33: Winner Takes All
Editor: Atlas Studios
"Ow!"
The eight-headed giant python swept its gaze across the vast scorched earth around them, turning everything within a radius of several kilometers into white land!
However, it still could not sense the dragon blood ink stone that hid the hope of advancing its bloodline!
It raised its remaining two snake heads and roared!
It was unwilling to accept this!
However, no matter how unwilling the eight-headed python was, it was already at the end of its rope.
At this moment, it could already sense its life force slowly dissipating along the huge wound.
It would probably leave this world soon.
At this moment, mocking voices sounded not far away. It was the poisoned man and the one-armed man, slowly approaching with the Sun Chasing Cloud Leopard in its strongest state.
"Hehehe, even a beast like you will have such a day! I advise you to save your strength before you die!"
The poisoned man approached the eight-headed python with a sinister expression. When he thought about how he had been beaten up so badly by this python and almost died here, the monstrous anger in his heart surged.
"Captain, let's stop talking nonsense with this beast. Hurry up and kill it. The poison in your body will be easily resolved!" The one-armed man's eyes flashed with fanaticism.
Thinking about how he could return to the association with that precious treasure and the remains of the level 40 platinum-level beast after finishing this job, he might be able to completely say goodbye to his life of licking blood on the tip of a knife!
He did not have to worry about the rest of his life anymore. A bright future was waving at him!
"Okay! Let's do it!"
The poisoned man's expression was also filled with excitement and fanaticism. He licked the corner of his mouth and thought to himself, When the poison is completely cleaned up, the useless beast beside me will also be exhausted to death by the side effects of the potion.
If he waited until then to attack in secret, would all the credit belong to him alone…
Just as he was calculating in his heart, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest!
He reached out to touch his chest, where blood was already flowing. Three sharp claws followed his spine and pierced through his chest!
The poisoned man looked at the one-armed man beside him in disbelief. After spitting out the blood in his mouth, he asked the last question of his life.
"You… you! Don't you know that you've forgotten? According to… the association's rules, if the captain of the crusade team dies in action… you'll have to die with me… Why… cough cough cough!"
Before he could finish his last sentence, the blood flowing upstream from his chest blocked his windpipe and he could not say another word.
The one-armed man's expression was almost crazy! An indescribable smile appeared on his lips as he raised his left foot and stomped down!
He heard a crisp sound.
Then, red and white colors melded together and stained the one-armed man's pants.
He rubbed the sole of his shoe in disdain. His crazy eyes finally landed on the eyeball that was still rolling in the mud. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly as he said in a mocking tone, "Captain, Captain, you're still too simple-minded…
"A complete dragon bloodline is already a stepping stone for me. Why can't I choose the forces in the former Northern Territory?! You're really a good dog of the association. Even in your death, you still think of the association… Hehe!"
The one-armed man laughed loudly and said, "That's true. As long as your master throws a few bones, you have to wag your tail in gratitude! Don't blame me for being too ruthless!
"As you always say—
"Winner takes all!"
In order to achieve this scene, the one-armed man had not only paid the price of an arm to make his captain let down his guard.
The only advantage of the Sun Chasing Cloud Leopard was its outstanding endurance. Other than that, its combat strength was really not presentable.
As a result, he was not the first to attack the team. He was mainly in charge of the evacuation after the battle.
This allowed his subdued beast to stay until the end, becoming the most important bargaining chip in the balance of victory and defeat!
Then, as long as he gave the order, the full-powered Sun Chasing Cloud Leopard could easily kill the eight-headed dying python.
Will I be the ultimate winner…?
The eight-headed python fell to the ground weakly. Its lantern-like eyes still lost their usual vigor as they looked blankly at the distant mountain range.
With the platinum-level bloodline talent, it naturally understood the treacherous and dirty things between humans.
It was arrogant and disdained to watch such tricks.
It struggled to move its head so that it could see the valley from which it had come.
It wanted to put this painting of nature that it had been looking at for more than a hundred years into its eyes until the last moment of its life.
That valley used to be its home.
Right then, it could vaguely see a figure rushing over at an extremely fast speed.
Coincidentally, it was Bell.
Bell's face was filled with anxiety, afraid that he had made a mistake in the final battle. He was determined to obtain Lord Python's poison gland.
At this moment, he could not care less about hiding his strength. He put away the concealment talisman and surrounded himself with the wind element, maximizing his movement speed!
"This little guy… feels so familiar…?"
The moment Bell put away the concealment talisman, the eight-headed python could sense him again.
Under normal circumstances, the perception of exotic beasts far exceeded that of beast tamers, unless the beast tamer carried props and equipment with perception.
Otherwise, the difference between the two was equivalent to the difference between a telescope and a human eye.
More importantly, this perception ability would be further strengthened as the level of the exotic beast's bloodline increased. It might even be open to new abilities.
The eight-headed python had such an ability. Not only could they sense the strength of the other party, but they could also detect the strength of the other party's bloodline and talent.
And when it used this ability on human beast tamers, the other party's Beast Taming Talent would be seen by it.
"This little thing's beast taming talent is actually S-rank!!!"
Lord Python's eyes widened as it stared fixedly at Bell!
From its perspective, the one-armed man, who was still talking crazily, was covered in a faint white light.
This meant that his beast taming talent had only just reached D-rank.
The poisoned man, who was already lying on the ground, was a bright yellow color, corresponding to a Grade B talent level.
In the eyes of the eight-headed python, Bell's figure was colorful and intertwined!
This meant that Bell had the talent to resonate with various dimensions!
Converted into the beast taming talent that humans knew, it was the top S-rank talent!
The higher the beast taming talent, the stronger the connection with the beast's soul, and the stronger the beast taming bloodline that the beast taming space in his body could bear!
In fact, the beasts that every beast tamer could sign a contract with had a limit to their bloodline, and it varied according to the strength of their beast taming talent.
This also meant that the colorful little fellow not far away was one of the few beast tamers among humans who could bear it!
He signed a beast taming contract with that little fellow.
It still had hope of survival!
