Chapter 788: Recruiting the Twin Sabre Leopard Lord
The Mirror Image Secret Map had a blue theme. Therefore, the red wave was very obvious within the secret map. It was like a fire dragon as it dived toward them.
When the Twin Sabre Leopard Lord saw what was happening, it could only stare with its eyes wide open in terror. Its four limbs kept on scratching the glass surface.
Unfortunately, the glass floor was very slippery, and it could not stand at all.
When it noticed that it simply could not stand, it slowly slid away using its four limbs as if they were a boat’s oars.
“Wait, that’s not a wave! It’s a monster!” When the wave had almost reached them, he was instantly stunned when he got a better look at it.
Red Elemental: Heaven Realm One Star
Combat Rating: 10,873
Inner Chi: 2,532
The Red Elemental was a soft-bodied monster similar to an octopus. However, it had no tentacles and depended fully on its sticky body to move. As they moved together in the hundreds, that made them look like an ocean tide.
At this time, his attention fell on the Twin Sabre Leopard Lord. He burst out laughing then said, “Are you stupid? Didn’t you already form an Earth Soul? Use your Earth Soul to push you, you stupid leopard!”
“Roar! Despicable human, how dare you laugh at me! Come down if you dare, I’ll eat you up!” The Twin Sabre Leopard Lord that was moving like a turtle roared at Jiang Feng angrily.
“Come up if you dare!” Jiang Feng flapped his wings as he laughed at the Twin Sabre Leopard Lord while floating in mid-air.
“Come down If you dare!”
“Stupid leopard, if you keep on arguing with me you’re going to die a horrible death. Start crawling away, yes?”
…
The Twin Sabre Leopard Lord was feeling very annoyed. He did not expect that Jiang Feng could grow a pair of wings.
But he gave it a thought and realized that Jiang Feng’s suggestion was reasonable.
While he could not stand, he could control the Earth Soul to push him and escape.
Looking at the horde of Red Elemental getting closer, he quickly called the Earth Soul and had it go behind it and push it ahead.
With the Earth Soul pushing it away, the Twin Sabre Leopard Lord was sliding away extremely quickly. However, so was the speed of its use of its Inner Chi.
If it continued on, in less than ten minutes, it would spend all the Inner Chi within its body. And then Jiang Feng’s opportunity would present itself.
The Twin Sabre Leopard Lord without any Inner Chi could only fight using its flesh. The damage that it could deal was perhaps even lower than the damage being dealt by the Earth Realm elites. At that time, he would have the power to kill the Twin Sabre Leopard Lord.
The Red Elementals could not fly, so Jiang Feng was simply flying on top of the Twin Sabre Leopard Lord at ease while scanning his surroundings.
“I wonder what kind of Secret Treasure is in this Secret Map?”
He came in alone, so he did not have the right to fight for the Treasure.
Originally, he wanted to ask Sus and the others to come in here. However, he gave it some thought.
He would be dragging them to their deaths if he were to ask them to come.
Since he could not leave the Secret Map, he had the time to fully explore this place. Not to mention that he could survive better when he was alone.
Wingshape also had a time limit. So when he saw that the Twin Sabre Leopard Lord was heading toward a mountain peak, he then waited at the peak for the Twin Sabre Leopard Lord.
By the time it got up to the mountain peak, it would have expended most of its Inner Chi.
“Hm? Someone’s here already?” As soon as he reached the mountain peak, he suddenly noticed that many new players had appeared close to the Red Elementals.
Many players were in this batch. There were about two hundred Freelancers and six Squadrons.
The moment they warped in, they all slipped on the ground. It was hilarious.
When he saw that, he quickly flew behind the mountain peak, dismissed his Wingshape, and put on his Invisibility Cloak.
All the players were at Heaven Realm One Star and above. They were all much more powerful than him, so naturally, he could not let them discover him, or that would be the end of him.
The Freelancers and the Squadrons were quickly attacked by the Red Elementals.
Perhaps they had anticipated being attacked by the monsters, so the players and Squadrons did not get rattled at all. Instead, they jumped up and landed on the Red Elementals to avoid slipping and began attacking the Red Elementals.
At this time, the Twin Sabre Leopard Lord had finally reached the mountain peak.
It had almost spent all of its Inner Chi. It then took back its Earth Soul, and then looked at the large group of players down below as it lay down to recover its Inner Chi.
With the players distracting the monsters, all the Red Elementals that were chasing after it had turned around and were attacking them instead, stopping their pursuit. Only then did it manage to find the time to recover its Inner Chi.
However, it was somewhat feeling hopeless. Originally, it wanted to kill Jiang Feng. It did not expect to fall into this Secret Map together with Jiang Feng. It meant that it would not be able to leave for a while, and it might possibly get killed by other players in this place.
Just when it was cursing Jiang Feng, it suddenly noticed something and quickly turned its head around to take a look.
As soon as it turned around, it felt a sharp pain coming from its head.
“Roar! You despicable human! How dare you ambush me! I will eat you!” The angry Twin Sabre Leopard Lord yelped out in pain before turning around and slamming at the empty spot behind him.
As it only had very little Inner Chi left, all it could do was to fight Jiang Feng with its raw strength.
However, not only did it miss Jiang Feng, it was stabbed in the abdomen again.
‘Run!’
That was the first thought that crossed its mind.
His opponent still had plenty of Inner Chi, while it had already used up everything. It could not continue the battle as it might end up dying in the hands of a lowly human. It still wanted to have some dignity at least.
But it had only moved a bit when its body slid down from the other side of the mountain.
It momentarily forgot that this was the Mirror Image Secret Map. Everything it was stepping on was like glass brushed with a layer of oil. It could not move freely at all.
As it was sliding down, it saw a Black Pill suddenly appear and enter its wound. Next, the Black Pill began to continuously destroy its body from within.
“Roar…!” It let out painful roars because of the attack.
When Jiang Feng saw that the Twin Sabre Leopard Lord’s HP had almost been depleted, it then jumped on its back and said coldly, “Surrender, or die!”
He initially wanted to kill the Twin Sabre Leopard Lord. But when he remembered that all the players that had reached the Secret Map were very powerful, he gave up on the thought of killing it.
While he could gain some power from killing the Twin Sabre Leopard Lord, it was not as valuable as gaining a Heaven Realm Three Stars boss as a follower.
The enemies within the Secret Map were quite powerful too, and he was the weakest among them. If the Twin Sabre Leopard Lord was willing to surrender to him, he would not be forced into a corner when he encounters players or monsters.
“Roar… I… I surrender.”
The Twin Sabre Leopard Lord originally wanted to refuse. But when he realized that he was going to end up dead in Jiang Feng’s hands, he decided to surrender in the end. At least it would still be alive.
No matter if it were humans or highly intelligent monsters, they all had a powerful will to live.
“How can I trust you?” Jiang Feng asked the Twin Sabre Leopard Lord.
He was in the Great World of Tianji and not the Divine Dominion after all. The monsters within Divine Dominion would not betray him after they had sworn their loyalty. But this place was different in the end, that was why he was being more careful.
“In the name of the God of Beasts, I swear that I will forever be loyal to you. If I ever betray you, then let my Earth Soul shatter into pieces. This is the most powerful oath of the Wilder Beast race. Once we have taken this oath, we can never become a traitor or our Earth Soul will be immediately shattered,” the Twin Sabre Leopard Lord said.
“Good!” Jiang Feng nodded with a smile.
He did not know if the Twin Sabre Leopard Lord’s oath was binding or not, but he needed to make him stay no matter what. He could test its loyalty later.
