Chapter 323: The Guardian Monsters (1)
The Pathfinder Monsters from before were like kittens when compared to the Guardian Monsters; they were in a league of their own.
There weren't as many Guardian Monsters, numbering half that of the Pathfinder Monsters. Every single Guardian Monster differed in appearance, but there was one thing they held in common: regardless of their size, every inch of their body oozed with an intimidating level of power.
They were like experts in wuxia stories who'd gone into seclusion. At first glance, there was nothing out of the ordinary about them; you could even say that they looked foolish. But, in spite of that, they had an incomparable air of intimidation about them.
Shen Jingbin noticed that some of the female players from White Cloud Temple had already lost their wits and were s.h.i.+vering with fear. That being said, this was a very normal reaction for a person when they were faced with someone whose strength was far beyond theirs.
There were quite a few players from Jade Sea Pavilion near Shen Jingbin, and they subconsciously drew closer to her when they laid eyes upon the Guardian Monsters.
"We don't have much time, let's finish this as quickly as possible."
Shen Jingbin led the charge by attacking first. When Mascot noticed the change in its owner's emotions, it raised its head and issued a deafening roar. Even with the ocean's waters reducing the impact, the roar was still just as powerful, leaving everyone's ears ringing in the aftermath.
Mascot leapt forward like a lightning bolt and pounced onto the closest Guardian Monster. At the same time, the Black Tortoise poked its head and legs out of its sh.e.l.l and raised its little head. It opened its mouth and spat out five mustard coloured bubbles. The bubbles slowly drifted away and enveloped Shen Jingbin and her Four Divine Beasts. The winged serpents on the Black Tortoise's back also swelled in size before it shot into the air. They turned their gaze to Mascot's target and flew straight towards the Guardian Monster's throat like an arrow shot from a bow. The Vermillion Bird also acted and rose to the sky. It issued a piercing shriek that everyone could clearly hear, and the next moment, its entire body was shrouded in brightly coloured flames. The fact that the Vermillion Bird could give rise to such intense flames in the ocean was a testament to its prowess. It flapped its enormous wings, and blazing fireb.a.l.l.s began to fall from them like raindrops, smas.h.i.+ng into the monsters beneath it and causing them to howl with pain. Not wanting to lose out, the Azure Dragon circled around itself and rose into the sky, its long beard fluttering about in the air while the other three Divine Beasts acted. As it did so, the body of water behind the Guardian Monsters began to surge. The Azure Dragon opened its mouth and shot out a faint cyan coloured Divine Beast. Almost as if it could see, the construct floated over to where the mob of monsters were and gradually dispersed once it was above them. When the particles descended, the monsters wearing armor found that their armor had instantly melted away, and all sorts of unpleasant roaring started up once again.
