Chapter 447 — The Time Element System
The Beast-Taming Craftsman · Page 3 of 9
"This is..." Donghuang natives like Bai Xi and Gao Xuan, who had watched the National Tournament, were no strangers to Ginseng Baby's behavior.
But it was precisely because they were no strangers to it that they were so shocked and bewildered.
Shi Jin—was he pulling aggro again?
Why!!
Pulling aggro at the National Tournament was one thing—those were all low-tier monsters at transcendent and commander rank, and with Eleven's intimidation, Shi Jin's team could handle them easily.
But now, there were six totems here, and dozens of top-tier overlords!
Was Shi Jin crazy, or was Ginseng Baby crazy?
Even with that earlier strike from the Azure Dragon, taking on so many enemies at once wouldn't be easy, would it?
What was more, at the moment Ginseng Baby was the only one who could fight.
At this moment, forget Totem Nation and the various divine beasts—even Donghuang's own people, apart from a tiny handful in the know, had no idea what Shi Jin was doing.
"Has he gone mad?"
Rein, the other hunters, the Tyrant Dragon King, the Black Dragon Sovereign, and the Origin Tree God had been hoping the hunters would find Shi Jin soon; seeing Shi Jin's Ginseng Baby suddenly lure the enemies on its own, they could not help but be greatly shocked.
"There."
Right now, following Ginseng Baby's transformation, dozens of Starry Void Insects within the trial barrier all turned blazing gazes in one direction.
That included five powerful totem-rank Starry Void Insects—though the Boar God had rated them as mere foot soldiers among the Void Insects, with the display of power from the overlord-rank Starry Void Insect just now as a benchmark, no one dared underestimate this brood.
Even whether the Rubber Divine Tree could handle one alone was a question the outside spectators had grave doubts about.
Yet at this moment, this horde of monsters—including the Rubber Divine Tree and the whole group of Totem Nation contestants—all turned their gazes toward the direction Ginseng Baby had transformed.
All of them had been drawn by the waves it released.
"No—!" Ryan, the Rubber Divine Tree, was especially alarmed. At the sight, it sped toward the Ginseng Baby's position, terrified the creature would be eaten by those Starry Void Insects.
And after releasing a wave of fragrance that spread across the entire trial realm, becoming the fountainhead of all hunger, the Ginseng Baby quickly returned to its normal size, burrowed into the earth with Earth Escape, and waited for the bulk of its enemies to gather.
This bizarre scene made many of the factions present look grave.
For now, all they could deduce was that the Ginseng Baby probably meant to lure a great host of enemies into chaotic melee and reap the spoils of the fisherman.
As for any other explanation, no one could work one out.
"Trying to win by tactics, is it?" Even the divine beasts reached the same conclusion.
Not a soul entertained the notion that the Ginseng Baby meant to slaughter every enemy on its own.
"Aba aba—this is bad, this is bad."
At this moment, seeing the vast swarms of Starry Void Insects, so many totems and overlords converging on the spot, the Prophetic Owl was the most panicked of all.
It had the feeling that Shi Tan's tactic—luring the enemy and steering them into killing one another—might just fail!!!
Because it resembled its prophecy far too closely: the Ginseng Baby would be hunted by a pack of totems and overlords, and then devoured by a totem!!!
If its prophecy was accurate, then Shi Jin and the others were in danger!!!
No—this could not be allowed to play out. It would all go wrong!!!
"What's the matter with you?" the Gem Cat asked, seeing its old friend's pale pupils quivering.
"No, this tactic is too dangerous—it'll be eaten, it'll be eaten," the owl said tensely.
Gem Cat: "Eh, it's precisely because it'll be eaten that it's safe!"
Owl: ?
