My Pet Beast is Super Fearsome
Chapter 427 - Chapter 427 Chapter 426 You Finished Him Off

Chapter 427: Chapter 426: You Finished Him Off Chapter 427: Chapter 426: You Finished Him Off A palm mixed with ice stones, carrying along a fierce gale, struck down heavily.

The Fire Phoenix Pheasant seized the opportunity, its eyes swirling with firelight, and spat out a burst of explosive flames.

Boom!

The rolling firelight exploded at the joint of that arm.

The arm that was under attack paused slightly, and the Fire Phoenix Pheasant took the chance to fly through the gap and soar into the sky.

“Snap!”

Dragging its tail feathers, the Fire Phoenix Pheasant sketched a semicircle.

Flapping its wings, it looked down from its commanding height at the arm below.

Zhao Li’s expression was solemn, and after the smoke had cleared, he saw that there was not a single mark left at the joint of the arm.

Facing what was clearly a higher-order mutant creature, he felt a surge of powerlessness.

Soldiers and ordinary Combat Training Masters were different; in combat, they focused more on team coordination.

Forces like the Fire Feather Army, their main function was to perform carpet bombing during wartime.

However, during routine missions, it was the mutual restraint between teammates, harassment, sneak attacks, and main assaults that were the primary tactics.

Moreover, the military’s pet beasts were uniformly trained, and except for some special units that were necessary, basically, each military pet beast was like a carbon copy to prevent some individuals with prominent personalities from acting heroically on their own.

Overall, this model had its pros and cons, but at the moment, Zhao Li felt very tired.

In order to delay his teammates’ retreat as long as possible without their cooperation, he could only command from a first-person perspective.

This required a strong sense of the big picture and a high level of coordination with one’s pet beast.

The Fire Phoenix Pheasant’s means of attack were limited and its physical and endurance attributes were not outstanding. Frequent attacking and dodging in a short period of time had exhausted a lot of its energy.

“Hold on a bit longer.”

Zhao Li smoothed the Fire Phoenix Pheasant’s disheveled Fire Feathers, his gaze locked tightly on the arm that stretched out from underground.

Crack!

The arm spread its five fingers and scraped the ground, as if something was preparing to crawl out from beneath.

The ground cracked and fissured under the immense force, emitting dense sounds of splitting.

Zhao Li quickly scanned the area, searching for a relatively fragile structure, “Use the Blast Bomb there!”

“Snap!”

The Fire Phoenix Pheasant opened its beak, its slender neck feathers flaring out.

Boom!

A fireball the size of a soccer ball exploded at the fault line, and large sections of the ground collapsed instantly. The arm, too, was thwarted of support and crashed into the rocks on the other side.

“Weng!”

A low roar came from underground, and the owner of the arm seemed to have been angered, wildly grabbing the shattered rocks and hurling them towards the Fire Phoenix Pheasant in mid-air.

In an instant, countless black lines with whooshing sounds covered the sky, assaulting them from all directions.

Zhao Li’s heart tightened.

“Quick, dodge…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Zhao Li felt a massive jolt to his helmet. A sharp stone penetrated the visor, missing his eye by a whisker.

Zhao Li’s Adam’s apple bobbed as he broke out in a cold sweat.

“Snap–”

Before he could remove the stone, the Fire Phoenix Pheasant beneath him let out a wail. Its wings burst forth with a blinding spray of blood, and it fell spinning and tumbling like a kite with a broken string.

Thud!

Zhao Li, holding the Fire Phoenix Pheasant, crashed heavily onto the ground, the intense pain in his eyes bringing him back from his daze.

One drop.

Two drops.

Bright red liquid surged from the stone lodged in the visor, dripping onto the pure white snow, blooming like plum blossoms.

Some of it froze on the stone before it could drip, turning into icicles.

A gust of wind swept over.

Zhao Li struggled to lift his head, looking at the palm that was coming down toward him, a palm mixed with stones and still smeared with a large patch of blood. He knew that blood had been left by Kai.

Clutching the Fire Phoenix Pheasant tightly, Zhao Li closed his eyes.

“Fire Phoenix Pheasant, blow them up for me!”

A familiar voice came through, making Zhao Li think he was dreaming.

He opened his eyes and through the cracked visor, he saw the overcast sky as a series of Blast Bombs streaked like meteors, continuously exploding into fireballs on that palm.

“Boom!!”

This level of attack was limited in damage, but it was effective in preventing the descending palm.

Amidst the roaring sounds, several all-terrain off-road vehicles kicked up a plume of snow and came to a halt.

Through the disordered footsteps, several strong hands grabbed Zhao Li and pulled him out.

Zhao Li lay on his back, allowing his teammates to drag him away.

He stared blankly at the exploding palm above his head, the brilliant flare of light flickering, casting the surroundings in a red hue.

Ice chips and stones splattered down, striking his visor with a cracking sound.

The team, in a clumsy hurry, placed him on a cargo sled and used the all-terrain vehicle to pull him a significant distance away.

“Vice-captain! Vice-captain, are you alright!”

Tong Hao saw the stone embedded in Zhao Li’s visor, and his heart skipped a beat.

The blood on the stone had long since frozen, resembling a dark red crystal, giving off a sinister glow in the light of the explosions.

Bang!

Zhao Li suddenly kicked his foot into Tong Hao’s chest.

Tong Hao stumbled back several steps, falling to the ground with his rear end hitting first.

“Tong Hao, you son of a bitch! I cough…cough cough.”

Amidst the hurried gasps, Zhao Li struggled to his feet, fresh red blood spilling from his visor again, causing him to tremble all over with pain.

“Vice-captain!”

Bang!

Just as Tong Hao tried to step forward to help him, Zhao Li kicked him down to the ground again.

Picking up a stone from the ground, Zhao Li pointed unsteadily at Tong Hao and rebuked harshly, “Son of a bitch, openly defying military orders, I… I’ll execute you.”

“Vice-captain, calm down, it’s not Hao Zi’s fault.”

“Yeah, vice-captain, it wasn’t Hao Zi who wanted to come back.”

“Vice-captain… sigh, Professor Chen, please say something.”

“Hao Zi, look how angry you’ve made the vice-captain, you should apologize.”

Seeing this commotion, the others immediately became anxious, awkwardly hugging Zhao Li and trying to calm him down.

“I didn’t do anything wrong.”

Tong Hao was stubborn too, sticking his neck out and refusing to bow his head like a fighting rooster.

Under the dark clouds, six Fire Phoenix Pheasants cooperated with each other, weaving in and out to confuse and attack the enemy.

Amidst the sounds of explosions and flashes of fire, the unknown mutant creatures let out roars of fury, the battle incredibly intense.

Chen Yixin’s pupils reflected the flames as she turned her head and said helplessly to the group huddled together, “Stop arguing, it really isn’t Tong Hao’s fault this time.”

“Professor, don’t plead for him, I’ll execute him myself.”

Zhao Li became even more energized upon hearing this, and while saying so, his hand trembling with a stone in his grip, shook as if he had Parkinson’s and just couldn’t bring himself to throw it.

“Oh,” Chen Yixin glanced at him, arms folded, adopting an indifferent tone akin to watching a play, “Then go ahead and execute him.”

Everyone exchanged looks, and the atmosphere suddenly turned awkward.

Zhao Li’s hand trembled for a long time, unsure whether to throw the stone or not.

Chen Yixin didn’t leave him in awkwardness for too long. She leaned against the all-terrain vehicle, looking off into the distance with a very calm voice, “While we still have some time, if you have anything you want to say to your families, you better say it quick…”

“What do you mean?”

Zhao Li’s hand trembled, and the stone fell to the ground unintentionally.
