In the vast azure sky, the white dragon had already noticed the new black dot appearing on the roof of the Shelter.
It also heard the roar, but the creature on the ground prevented it from disengaging.
If it returned to the Shelter, thereâs no telling if this creature would be drawn to its masterâs side!
"Gaa wu!" Bai dove down swiftly and soon found the behemothâs weakness, at the central part of its massive back, once again spewing out extremely cold mist that instantly slowed down the centipede-like multi-legged creature.
Dragging its sharp claws and blades on its hind legs, it sliced deeply into the creatureâs thick skin once again like before.
Though this was effective, it was only just "effective."
The creature didnât care about such pain, and with a simple roll, it was covered in a layer of red soil and fragments of Mad Poison Herb, and the eerie liquid was blended with the soil and plant mixture, becoming almost invisible shortly thereafter.
Bai began to grow anxious.
It wanted its master to see that after several evolutions and this molting, it had grown strong enough to single-handedly defeat and kill this giant creature from the Secret Realm!
However, this desire to prove itself made it increasingly restless inside.
It even forgot the fact that it had hardly rested all day, leaving it with little stamina.
Its wings flapped fiercely as it soared upwards again, only to find its master nearing from the direction of the Shelter.
It became more anxious, as this creature was not something its master could handle, and it...
"Bai! Fly back quickly! Donât be reckless, do you hear me?" Lin Yue shouted, and suddenly Bai noticed a blazing Flaming Arrow being shot over!
The Flaming Arrow plunged downward, landing just a few meters away from the head of the giant centipede!
"Gaa wu!" Bai quickly flew towards its master, meanwhile noticing that the giant centipede was also heading in the same direction towards him!
Flapping its wings furiously, the powerful wind pressure quickly allowed it to outpace the centipede monster that lagged behind in speed, gently landing in front of its master before hoisting him onto its back and soaring back to the sky!
"What were you thinking, trying to handle it on your own?" Lin Yue patted Bai, knowing that had he not returned in time, he might have seen Bai, already exhausted, killed by this creature from the Ancient Secret Realm Gate!
"Gaa wu..." Bai knew its master was worried about it, feeling a pang of guilt and regret.
"Faced with such a creature, just use what itâs most afraid of, Bai, we donât have to attack it head-on," Lin Yue observed that the centipede monster seemed unfazed by fire.
The Crossbow Carriage Burning Arrow he just fired was meant to attract the creatureâs attention, he certainly aimed well, but it was truly difficult to aim accurately, as the monster was incredibly fast.
Though not as swift as Bai, dodging the crossbow carriageâs attack was no problem for it.
Moreover, after passing through the flames, its body didnât ignite furiously like other creatures in the Secret Realm.
This creature, like the giant Tentacle Monster, was not afraid of fire.
Itâs a tough situation.
Initially, Lin Yue planned to use a gasoline tactic like disposing of the Ox-Carrier Serpent Dragon, but it looked like heâd need to change his strategy.
At this moment, just as Lin Yue was contemplating how to tackle this giant centipede, the monster suddenly grasped the ground with its strong hind leg joints, while its upper body rose abruptly toward the sky!
Bai had been attentive to the monsterâs actions, and with this abrupt move, Bai immediately reacted by veering swiftly in the air, ascending to an even higher altitude!
"Sss aa aa aa..." The centipede monster suddenly spewed a green steam-infused mist into the sky!
This mist reached a height of dozens of meters!
Bai circled around to avoid the attack, evading the mistâs impact and splash, unharmed.
Observant Lin Yue noticed that after the mist hit the ground, it quickly caused flowers and plants to wither, almost turning them into a pool of black mud.
Wow, itâs highly toxic, and... clichĂ©.
Typically when such things spew poison, it absolutely results in such similar scenes, overly clichéd.
Still, for it to be able to stand upright, Lin Yue didnât expect that.
But it sparked some inspiration for Lin Yue.
"Bai, letâs employ a tactic." Lin Yue instructed Bai to fly further toward the direction of the Ancient Secret Realm Gate, landing afterward to quickly let Bai eat something to replenish its stamina.
This monster must definitely be eliminated, and even though it doesnât offer a treasure chest reward, leaving it unchecked would harm Lin Yue.
After all, the monster was right beside his Shelter.
Additionally, Lin Yue needed to deal with it quickly to rush back to the Underground Ruins to retrieve Xiao Meng and the others.
"Sss aa aa aa!!" The giant centipede let out an extremely unpleasant scream and charged again.
As it did, Lin Yue strung several lamb ribs with iron wire for Bai to carry them and soar back into the sky!
Tactics require brains, not brawn.
Bai followed Lin Yueâs command, circling around the giant centipede. The centipede shortly stood its body upright again, its abdomen swelling into a big ball!
"Now! Throw it in!" Lin Yue instructed Bai to throw the string of lamb chops into its mouth!
Only at this moment did the nimble giant centipede have a brief pause in its upright state.
The meat ribs precisely fell into its mouth as Bai heeded Lin Yueâs command and landed again, unlike before, now holding a bucket of gas with the lid open in its arms.
The taste of delicious grilled lamb ribs lulled the giant centipede, seemingly without any cognition, causing it to stand upright, opening its giant mouth toward the circling Bai.
"Drop it!" In Lin Yueâs hand was now a blazing Armor-Piercing Arrow, a more formidable weapon crafted by entwining gasoline-soaked ropes around an Armor-Piercing Arrow.
The gas bucket was eagerly swallowed by the giant centipede, and Lin Yueâs Armor-Piercing Burning Arrow followed suit!
The Armor-Piercing Burning Arrow rushed into the creatureâs mouth right behind the gas bucket, followed by a violent explosion!
Pieces of meat and slime flew explosively across the Desert surroundings, and the giant centipedeâs body collapsed heavily!
Done!
No matter how tough the shell is, the inside remains what it is.
If both inside and outside were as tough as this shell, then it indeed couldnât be dealt with.
Of course, if that were the case, it wouldnât be any living being.
[You have slain the giant creature - Poison Celestial Dragon!]
Hmm?
Just as Bai landed, Lin Yue suddenly heard a system notification sound.
What have we killed?
Poison Celestial Dragon?
Wasnât that thing... wasnât it supposed to come from inside the Secret Realm?
[You have obtained a Platinum Treasure Chest!]
As Lin Yue wondered, another even more shocking information came!
