Chapter 693
(Unedited)
…
A black being, standing around three ters tall with two bull-like horns on its head, is blocking the path of four people. The dark vibe it gives is making the four people in front of it feel like shaking in fear. Its glowing red eyes can make one feel all the hair on their skin stand on end. And the foul breath coming from its snout that looks like that of a bull filled the air with a strange atmosphere. Like so kind of poison that corrupts everything around it.
It is a giant black Minotaur.
Shin Jiao could not determine the level of the Minotaur, but he knew that it is very strong and very powerful.
As it breathes, a thin line of gray smoke would appear from its nostrils.
"This is going to be a hard fight…" Fushang Xu said as he took a stance with his long sword in hand.
Vlad and Vitina also did the sa, while Shin Jiao also took out his two handguns. However, an idea is being formulated in his mind on how to fight the shadow being in front of them.
"Let's test the waters first…" he thought.
Although he has an idea, it would take so ti to finish. So he has to make sure the three could prevent that thing from attacking him before acting on the plan he has in mind.
"Hehe… Humans at last… it's been a year since I last had my human al. Your immortal bodies are perfect nourishnt for . Your pure energy is making drool. Keke…" the bull-like, shadow being said with a chuckle.
Hearing the words of the shadow being, the four young people look at each other and frowns. They knew that they would be facing a hard fight today.
Without warning, the black Minotaur suddenly rushes towards the four humans while two black hand axes, suddenly appear on its hands.
Shin Jiao could feel that those two hand axes contain the ability of the shadow being, the ability to siphon essences. He knew this because of the rune embedded on the ax. Shin Jiao has discovered that this shadow being has already reached the 2nd level in essence siphon skill, the rune casting.
As the creature ca closer, the group suddenly fans out.
Then simultaneously launches their attacks.
Shin Jiao noticed that he was the target of the Minotaur. Its red glowing eyes are focused on his direction.
"It determined that I am the weakest, so it will try and take down first." Shin Jiao thought as he did not waste ti and tried to run away.
However, it seems that the Minotaur is also fast as it soon caught up with Shin Jiao's speed.
Suddenly, it brandishes two axes and Shin Jiao could feel the Dao laws in the air as they are being disturbed by the power of those two axes.
"Damn it! This guy is a lord… From its power, it's a level 80 plus shadow being." Shin Jiao imdiately thought as a surprised look on his face appears.
Then he could feel beads of sweat forming on his forehead followed by a tingling feeling on his scalp. If he is hit by the energy on those two axes, then he might die. Hence he is feeling a little bit afraid now.
Seeing the fear in the human's eyes, the shadow being feel elated and did not bother with defending himself with those attacks from the other humans. They are just like tickling him anyway.
Shin Jiao did not hesitate and quickly dodges while also shooting at the shadow being.
The two attacked each other three tis. Shin Jiao was quick to dodge while the Shadow Being showed its strong defense. The three exchanges are enough to gauge the large chasm in comparing their strength. The black Minotaur is truly strong and powerful. Though Shin Jiao has no visible wound, his energy is already in turmoil as he was affected by the aftermath of those weird skills that the black Minotaur uses.
The three are also in awe of the exchange between the two. They did not expect that Shin Jiao, who was deed to the weakest of them, would be able to stand against the enemy.
"Guys, hold him for a minute… I have a plan…" Shin Jiao shouted to the three who were still in a daze.
The three imdiately rush to block the beast while Shin Jiao jumps back with a bit of a distance. Then judging that the distance is far enough he secretly takes out a small lump of black ore from this ring.
His three companions began attacking the black Minotaur who is now in a rage.
"I kill the lot of you and eat you till I'm satisfied!" shouted the Minotaur as it brandishes its axes and began sending dark energy blades towards its opponent.
anwhile, three did no slack and dare not face those black energy blades. They knew of the danger it possesses and that their shield would just be consud by such power.
Shin Jiao on the other hand has already crafted three bullets. He didn't know if it would be effective, but he has no other way to defeat the Shadow Being but to rely on the sa skill as it uses, the Essence Syphon skill.
After finishing the third bullet, Shin Jiao shifted his eyes on the battle. However, he suddenly feels a dangerous premonition in his mind and quickly dodges.
Boom!
A thick cloud of dust covered the place where he was before and a two ters wide crater could be seen on the ground.
"You are really fast… but… you're the last mber of your group that is still able to fight. Hehe…" a hoarse voice said with a chuckle.
Shin Jiao's eyes squinted are he has noticed that he didn't actually need a translator in his mind to understand the shadow being's language. It seems that he could actually understand what it says.
But he has no ti to think about it deeply as the opponent is already closing in on him.
He did not hesitate and quickly loaded the three bullets on a revolver that suddenly appear in his hand. Shin Jiao only has three chances to try and defeat the raging bull in front of him.
As he dodges the almost endless attack from the Minotaur, Shin Jiao is looking for a chance or an opening to fire his handgun.
Suddenly, a spear flew towards the back of the Minotaur which the beast did not notice. Shin Jiao who saw it, looks at Vlad who is leaning on a rock wall with blood all over his body. But a smile appears on his face, as forcefully lifted his weak hand and showed a thumbs-up at Shin Jiao.
The distraction was the greatest opportunity that was given to him, so he did not waste it and takes the shot.
Bang!
The recoil was more powerful than he expected. It seems that the rune on the bullet has increased the power and penetrative ability of the projectile.
Shin Jiao saw the bullet tearing the skin on the Minotaur's stomach as it enters it. But it did not go out of its body. This made Shin Jiao feels a bit helpless because he knew that the bullet is not that powerful yet to destroy a lord level skin thoroughly.
However, this is also what he is expected to happen. When the bullet ca in contact with the dark essence of the Minotaur, it imdiately acted and began to suck in the essence of the shadow being.
"Roar! What! What is this?! What have you done to ?" shouted the Minotaur as it suddenly feels its body weak and disabled.
Shin Jiao on the other hand knew that he succeeded. He did not waste more ti and directly takes out four pills. His body was not spared from any wounds caused by the Minotaur's attacks, so he needs to heal his wounds first.
Then he gave his three companions so healing pills too.
When the three began healing they all look at the immobilized Shadow Being.
"Should we run?" Vlad asked with concern in his eyes.
He knew that their weapons are useless against the tough skin of the Minotaur, so their only option is to escape.
"Yes, I think we should escape as far as possible…" Vitina said while still holding her waist as the wound in there did not close yet.
"I agree, let's go…" Fushang agreed as he too knew that they are unable to deal with the enemy at this ti.
"Alright, you guys can leave first I need to make sure that my experint is a success…" Shin Jiao said as he observes the trembling beast.
The three showed astonishnt on their faces. They now discovered that the young man with them is a bit weird and a bit crazy. Who would think of experinting at these dangerous tis?
Suddenly a strong fluctuation began to appear on the shadow being's body. And this made Shin Jiao frown. The three also noticed this and they too showed fear in their eyes.
The fluctuation of universe energy is so strong that if it exploded, they knew that they would not be able to survive it.
But before they could say anything they saw Shin Jiao suddenly walking towards the already unconscious shadow being.
"What are you doing? Let's run now!" shouted Vitina in anxiousness.
"Opportunity cos to those who seek it. And this is an opportunity work pursuing." Shin Jiao said with a grin.
"If you want to be stronger, help …" He added with a grin.
Although the three feel a bit weird they subconsciously approach the Minotaur. They did not know what kinds of the move will Shin Jiao do, but from his words, they seem to feel that it would be of great help to them.
Then suddenly, when they are around 1 ter from the seemingly unconscious Minotaur, it abruptly extended its hand and tried to grab Shin Jiao. However, before it could even touch a hair on his head, Shin Jiao suddenly ducks and extended his palm towards the bullet hole on its stomach.
When he muttered a skill the Minotaur's eyes suddenly went wide in disbelief.
