"…White Knight….Black Panda... WHAT?" Yang Ling looked at the side and suddenly saw dust rifling up in the distance. Unfortunately, she was in no position to get too distracted with the opponent in front of her being one of the strongest Demon Rat she had fought up till now.
The Demon Rat in front of her did not waste any breath. Instead, he let his fists do the talking. Yang Ling somehow managed to block it with her Tiger s.h.i.+eld Claw Attachments, but it seemed its durability had almost reached its limit.
Right now, the Tiger Princess could only hope that she did not mishear the Panda word since there could only be one cultivator Yang Ling knew that would appear here and spew that animal name out.
Seeing that the Tiger Princess was in a major pinch, he quickly opened his mouth, and a mixture of black and white Maqi flew out, annihilating the Demon Rats that were waiting for the chance to pounce on her.
Jin did not realise how stupidly strong his Panda Yawning had become ever since he had unlocked the Maqi in him. With such a high amount of devastation caused by one Yawning beam, the Demon Rats had directed their animosity towards the new challenger. Suddenly, a new variant of Demon Rats appeared with two Steam Tech shoulder cannons on their shoulders as they were ordered to aim towards Jin.
The dungeon supplier reacted by sending his other Black Sludge Pandas right in front of him in order to counter against the cannon projectiles. With each volley of fire, the Steam Tech Cannons roared at such a volume even Xiong Da and gang were wondering what was happening at the other battlefield.
It was then the Black Sludge Pandas performed as instructed. Each one of them jumped to counter the flying projectiles. With Jin"s Pandaromic Eyes and his enhanced manipulation of Maqi, he was able to move the Black Sludge Pandas to the predicted path of the projectiles, and they swallowed the sh.e.l.ls into their sludge bodies.
"Have a taste of your own medicine." Jin smiled as he fiddled with his fingers in the air and commanded his Black Sludge Pandas to return the metal sh.e.l.ls back to the Demon Rats. (With, of course, some additional surprise.)
When the sh.e.l.ls were in the Black Sludge Pandas, Jin rotated them viciously within their bodies via Maqi. He believed that when the sh.e.l.ls were spewed out, they would be flying back at around twice or thrice the speed they were fired at from the Demon Rat"s cannons.
True enough, some of the sh.e.l.ls flew too fast and too high that they ended up missing the Demon Rats" army and hit somewhere further down the gra.s.slands.
Luckily the rest of the sh.e.l.ls were more or less a direct hit (Considering the number of rats gathered), killing multiple Demon Rats including those who had the Shoulder Cannons on. Jin also noticed that when the Litoride powered sh.e.l.ls exploded against those Steam Tech equipment, it caused a chain explosion to happen.
"So…Litoride against Litoride explodes even harder?" Jin asked himself and Peppers suddenly stood behind him and observed the explosion.
"Looks like it! Maybe we can conduct some experiment back in the labs with all the Steam Tech we"ve collected!" Peppers suggested, but when Jin turned his head, she had disappeared into thin air.
.
"I thought she wanted to see more of the explosions rather than the synergy of the litoride." Jin spoke to himself, which made Peppers openly complain in the System channel.
"Well, duh! Those explosions don"t even reach a 0.05 score on my Explosion scale of perfect 10." Peppers replied and told Jin to prepare something more beautiful for her to watch.
"How about no?" Jin countered as he saw that his attacks had been sufficient for Yang Ling to fall back.
"You are no fun at all! I miss the old Jin. He loved lots of explosions." Peppers commented.
"What old Jin?! I am still the same!" The Panda charged towards the Demon Rat Brawler and bit into his arm, tearing it off his body while Jin waved awkwardly at Yang Ling.
"Pfft! You"ll see what you get if you ignore me further!" Peppers pouted in the background while Jin apologised for his tardiness.
"These black bears are your squadmates?" Yang Ling scoffed at the colour of the bear even though it was obviously shaped like a Panda. Meanwhile, the brawler was screaming considering his arm was bitten off by a weird large black bear.
Yet, Yang Ling didn"t show any mercy and stabbed him through the guts with her Tiger s.h.i.+eld Claw attachment as she sent some chi and mana, causing the Claw to vibrate violently and cut the brawler into multiple pieces.
"I certainly had enough of killing Demon Rats for today." Yang Ling sounded exhausted as they saw the Demon Rats coming through the smoke of the attacks which Jin returned to them. They did not care about their dead and instead moved forward, wanting to kill the humans right in front of them no matter what.
"You sure? It doesn"t seem like they had enough of us." Jin joked as he raised his hand out from his Black Sludge Panda Mount. Yang Ling did not hesitate to grab it and climbed on the Panda. The moment Yang Ling was behind him, her fatigue caused her to not waste any time in putting her head onto his back and clasped her hands over his torso.
Jin did not expect that but kept mum about it for now as he commanded his Pandas to move towards Xiong Da and Luo Bo. The rest of Yang Ling"s Squad also retreated on top of the other Black Sludge Pandas as they ran towards the Pandawans.
When Luo Bo saw Boss Jin coming towards her, she felt as if that more or less signified that they are approaching the end of the challenge. "In that case, just one last shot to go all out." Luo Bo thought. She quickly unplugged the cap of a chi regeneration potion and gulped it down in two mouthfuls before throwing it towards an incoming Demon Rat to slow it down.
"s.h.i.+eld! Protect me! Staff, further enhance my chi output! Wand, do as much distraction as you can!" Luo Bo shouted at her squadmates. The rabbit cultivator hadn"t put in much coming up with their names and referred to them by the weapons they were using.
The squadmate with two s.h.i.+elds equipped slammed down in front of Luo Bo as if to protect her from ranged attacks while he went bare fist against the Demon Rats that came near her. The double staff squadmate, on the other hand, slammed both of his staff down and started to gather the surrounding magic and turn it into chi for Luo Bo to use.
Oh and the dual wand squad member? She was shooting her magic arrows like a gunman on drugs. (Whether they hit or not was another matter.) In fact, Luo Bo loved the craziness in the wand wielding squad member as she helped to distract the rats from their incoming doom.
Luo Bo"s new advanced weapon technique.
