Chapter 213: Chapter 213 Despair
A massive boulder, accompanied by a deep sonic boom, shot forth from the distance. Struck by it, the Rock Horned Python skidded several feet, its enormous body leaving a deep trail in the ground.
Seeing this, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros herd became excited and quickly turned around, bowing their heads in respect, awaiting the arrival of their leader.
"Clang!"
Crushing several rocks underfoot, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros leader landed heavily, its immense weight causing the ground to tremble. Its gaze swept over the blood stained ground, and its expression gradually turned savage.
"Go!" Mon Dark, mounted on the Rock Horned Python, didn\'t hesitate, spitting out the word softly.
With a fierce lash of its tail, the Rock Horned Python surged forward with a thunderous roar. Behind it, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros leader let out a furious bellow and began its ground shaking pursuit.
"Rock Scale Rain!"
Seeing the crimson eyes of the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros, Mon Dark smiled faintly. The Rock Horned Python beneath him raised layer upon layer of scales, which then shot out like a torrential downpour, covering the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros.
Swinging its fists continuously, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros shattered the rock scales one by one, glaring fixedly at Mon Dark on the Rock Horned Python. It would not rest until he was torn apart.
"Quite a persistent creature. But that\'s what makes it worthy of forming a spirit pact," Mon Dark chuckled, his gaze towards the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros filled with fervor.
"Roar!"
With an enraged roar, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros clenched its fists and pounded the ground, sending a wide crack with an invisible shockwave straight towards the Rock Horned Python.
"It\'s about time," Mon Dark whispered softly.
"Clang!"
Suddenly, the charging Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros\'s expression changed as the ground beneath it collapsed with a loud bang, plunging it into a deep pit.
Standing at the edge of the pit, looking down at the furiously roaring Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros, Mon Dark\'s lips curled into a sinister smile.
The Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros slightly raised its head, looking at Mon Dark with a cold sneer on his face. In its eyes, there was an unmistakable killing intent. Clenching its fists tightly, it forcefully pounded the soil of the pit, trying to create a tunnel to escape back to the surface.
"It\'s useless," Mon Dark said with a faint smile, shaking his head. He slightly opened his palm, and the soil at the edge of the pit suddenly splashed up, revealing clusters of palm sized, bright red flowers. A faint fragrance enveloped the pit.
Smelling the fragrance, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros in the pit suddenly narrowed its eyes. Its right fist, carrying immense power, pounded the surrounding mud walls fiercely. With a loud thud, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros\' body involuntarily took a few steps back.
Letting out a hiss, the Rock Horned Python\'s tail, which had dug into the soil, slowly lifted, bringing up some moist winter mud. At the moment the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros fell into the deep pit, it used its spiritual skills to make the surrounding soil harder than rock. Although it couldn\'t withstand many blows from the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros, it could hold up for a while.
"These flowers are called Spirit Devouring Flowers. I doubt you don\'t recognize them. Wherever they grow, the spiritual energy depletes quickly. Without your spiritual power, how much strength can you still muster?"
Mon Dark twisted his palm, and the bright Spirit Devouring Flowers immediately emitted a deep red light. The spiritual energy in the air thinned at an alarming rate. In the pit, the silver sheen on the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros\' hard armor gradually dimmed.
"Roar!"
With an angry roar, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros clenched its five fingers into a fist and struck the mud wall fiercely. However, the punch that had previously made the wall tremble now only produced a dull thud, and then all was silent.
Above the pit, Mon Dark\'s lips curved into a faint smile. On his chest was pinned a dark blue petal, which blocked the light from the Spirit Devouring Flowers.
"Now, are you willing to form a spirit pact with me?"
Half a moment later, Mon Dark looked down at the extremely weakened Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros, smiling as he extended his palm. A faint gray spiritual light swirled around his hand, and he gently pressed it towards the position of the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros.
"Roar!"
An angry roar echoed as the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros waved its hand, shattering the descending faint gray light into countless light spots.
"Unwilling, are you? Very well."
Mon Dark turned around, stepping lightly on the back of the Rock Horned Python. He said softly, "Such a fine treasure as the Glowing Stone Ash shouldn\'t be wasted. Today, you must advance to the fifth rank."
The Rock Horned Python slightly nodded its menacing head. With a slam of its tail on the ground, it swiftly darted away, its twisted body crushing the rocks beneath it into powder.
The Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros struggled to lift its eyelids. With a heavy thud, its body collapsed, and everything went black.
"Bang!"
With a sudden sweep of its thick tail, a mist of blood exploded over the rocky ground. Excitement gleamed in the Rock Horned Python\'s eyes as it devoured the silver horns one by one.
Piercing wails echoed ceaselessly above the rocky terrain. The mid tier, fourth rank Imperial grade Rock Horned Python, confronting a group of warrior grade Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceroses, was like a wolf among sheep, leaving blood mists in its wake.
Seeing the increasingly formidable horn on the Rock Horned Python\'s head, Mon Dark\'s face revealed a satisfied yet bloodthirsty smile.
"Swish!"
Crimson blood flowed on the ground, forming what seemed like a river of blood, with one stream flowing directly into the pit.
