The tortoise's turtle shell was extremely hard, but it couldn't withstand the golden bird's sharp claws. In a moment, it was torn to pieces. Then, the golden bird tore its flesh apart in midair, killing it in the blink of an eye.
It's too ferocious. I actually fought it before. I'm really lucky I didn't die. Zhou Wen was secretly alarmed. Back then, he wasn't as strong as he was now.
Of course, that time couldn't be considered a real battle. The golden bird's target wasn't him; otherwise, Zhou Wen wouldn't have escaped so easily.
After the tortoise was killed by the golden bird, the white elephant finally crawled out of the river. Its wounds were also rapidly healing.
The white elephant's strength was originally above the tortoise's, but it had been thrown by the monk-robed skeleton. It had lost all its defenses, allowing the tortoise to take advantage of its weakness.
After the golden bird tore the tortoise apart, it had no intention of touching the white elephant. With a flap of its wings, it shot into the clouds like a bolt of golden lightning, disappearing behind the mountaintop.
After the white elephant's wounds healed, it charged at the monk-robed skeleton in the temple again. Its Holy Light surged crazily, but it could only barely walk close to the monk-robed skeleton.
As it was already heavily injured, it didn't even have the ability to walk in front of the monk-robed skeleton to attack it.
After persisting for a long time, the white elephant's strength slowly dissipated as it resisted the golden light. Finally, it couldn't withstand the impact of the golden light. As though it had been struck by a torrent, its massive body rolled down Dragon Gate Grotto and fell into the river, causing a huge wave.
"That monk-robed skeleton is too powerful," Li Xuan exclaimed.
"Did you see that the monk-robed skeleton seems to be holding something in one hand?" Zhou Wen had been observing the monk-robed skeleton the entire time.
He had previously thrown the white elephant out with one hand, but his other hand hadn't moved at all. It had always been blocked by the monk robe.
Zhou Wen saw that there seemed to be an abnormal protrusion there. Unfortunately, Truth Listener's ability was affected by the golden light, preventing him from hearing the situation around the monk-robed skeleton. Otherwise, he could know if there was anything in its hand.
Li Xuan used his Life Soul's Insect Eyes to look, but he only saw something. He couldn't tell what it was.
Could the white elephant be risking its life for the item in its hand? Li Xuan guessed.
"I'm not sure yet. Let's wait and see." Zhou Wen saw the huge white elephant crawl out again and pant by the river. However, it refused to give up. After resting for a while, it charged at the monk-robed skeleton in the temple for the third time.
Li Xuan said to Zhou Wen, "If the white elephant falls again, its stamina will definitely be weaker. I wonder if we can take advantage of it?"
I'm just afraid that the golden bird is in cahoots with the white elephant. You saw the outcome of that tortoise. If you're not afraid of death, feel free to give it a try. Zhou Wen definitely wouldn't give it a try.
He couldn't even test it with his pets. After all, it wasn't easy for him to obtain his Mythical pets. Every one of them had blood and tears. His heart ached for any one of them.
"That's true. That golden bird is too terrifying. It's probably an existence that can fight Primordial Sword Immortal and Tyrant Behemoth. From its abilities, it seems to focus on speed and offensive strength. Could it be the legendary Golden-Winged Roc?" Li Xuan guessed.
"It's very possible." Zhou Wen also felt that the golden bird resembled the legendary Golden-Winged Roc.
As the two of them spoke, the white elephant rushed into the temple again and walked towards the monk-robed skeleton step by step.
This time, the white elephant was different from before. Its pair of tusks lit up like two bright lamps that resisted the golden light. It made it much easier than the previous two times as it charged at the monk-robed skeleton.
However, Zhou Wen realized that the white elephant's tusks were constantly being burned. Its strength seemed to be paid at the cost of burning the tusks.
Finally, the white elephant charged in front of the monk-robed skeleton under the glow produced by the burning tusks. It lowered its head and slammed the burning tusks at the monk-robed skeleton.
Before the tusks arrived, the force produced by the tusks' impact blew at the monk robes.
Zhou Wen had been paying attention to the monk-robed skeleton. As the monk robes fluttered in the wind, he saw the skeleton hand on its leg bone appear.
In that hand was a golden crystal the size of an egg. It was slightly oval in shape.
The moment the crystal was revealed, it immediately emitted a golden light, illuminating the entire mountain temple. Nothing could be seen.
Even with Zhou Wen and Li Xuan's eyesight, they couldn't see anything.
After a while, the golden light converged. When everyone saw the scene inside the mountain temple again, they widened their eyes in horror.
The white elephant was still in front of the monk-robed skeleton. This time, it hadn't been thrown down, but the white elephant's flesh and organs had completely vanished. All that was left was a skeleton standing in front of the monk-robed skeleton. It still maintained a posture of lowering its head to slam into it. That was the last scene Zhou Wen and company saw.
A gust of wind blew past, and the huge skeleton suddenly scattered like flour. It landed on the ground and covered the mountain temple.
Everyone felt a chill run down their backs as they broke out into a cold sweat.
It was noon, but all of them felt cold all over.
"What was that bead just now?" Li Xuan stared at the monk-robed skeleton in the mountain temple. The monk robes landed again, concealing the bead. Now, nothing could be seen.
"I don't know, but there's a Companion Egg on the ground," Zhou Wen said as he pointed at the mountain temple.
In the bone powder that covered the ground, there was a white Companion Egg. It was half the height of a person, clearly left behind after the white elephant's death.
A white elephant Companion Egg is good stuff, but who would dare enter to take it now? Although Li Xuan's self-healing ability was very strong, he wasn't arrogant enough to believe that he could withstand such a terrifying golden light.
Zhou Wen's heart stirred. Although the white elephant wasn't considered a top Mythical creature, it was still a Mythical creature.
I wonder if I can send an Epic Companion Beast in to get the white elephant's Companion Egg out? Just as Zhou Wen had this thought, someone had already done so.
Among the Epic experts sent by Luoyang's local wealthy families to participate in the battle, an Epic expert summoned an Epic immortal crane and flew into the mountain temple, hoping to get the Companion Egg out.
However, just as the immortal crane flew into the mountain temple, its body came into contact with the golden light emitted by the monk-robed skeleton. It was immediately reduced to ashes and doomed.
Everyone was alarmed. Only then did they realize that not everyone could enter the mountain temple. The white elephant could walk against the golden light in the mountain temple, but it didn't mean that they could.
Thankfully, I didn't go. Li Xuan broke out into a cold sweat. He really wanted to rush into the temple to get the white elephant Companion Egg.
