Chapter 289: Defeated Reid and Heavily Injured Locke

Compared to Locke’s cooperation with the Swamp Hydra, Reid and the Raging Flame Lion were clearly one step behind.

Reid was not as lucky as Stevenson. His Raging Flame Lion was originally taken by force.

The Raging Flame Lion saw Reid kill its master with its own eyes and used coercion to force it to sign the contract.

Although Reid treated the Raging Flame Lion very well over the years, there was always a gap between them.

It was like a bandit who suddenly appeared on the road, killed all your family members, and kidnapped you to the mountain.

Then, he took you in as his foster son and took care of you.

No matter how good he was to you, could the son really forget the hatred of killing his father?

Moreover, Reid’s kindness to the Raging Flame Lion was mostly superficial.

For example, he fed the best food and wore the most gorgeous saddle, but he never thought about what the Raging Flame Lion really wanted.

As the diet was too good, the Raging Flame Lion often had digestive problems.

He really wanted to tell Reid that compared to fat cows, it preferred to chew on dry horse bones.

However, he could not say it.

He would rather die of hunger and disease because of the wrong diet than submit to Reid.

Once it submitted, it would be a betrayal to the original owner.

The Raging Flame Lion always remembered the joy and attachment in its heart when it first opened its eyes and saw its owner when it was born from a Battle Beast’s egg.

At the beginning of the Swamp Hydra’s evolution, it was just an ordinary snake by the side of the road.

It did not even have the aptitude of a tier 1 Battle Beast. It was just a Battle Beast at the bottom of the food chain.

It was Locke who discovered it, saved it, and helped him heal his injuries.

Through the system’s hidden evolution route, it evolved into a twin-headed snake. It successfully mastered poison and spatial magic, becoming a powerful Battle Beast.

Although later on, as Locke’s strength gradually increased, there were other Battle Beasts.

However, the position of the twin-headed snake had never wavered.

When Hathaway was in danger, Locke did not hesitate to summon the twin-headed snake. He sacrificed fire, wind elves, and blood sacrifices, allowing it to evolve into a powerful Swamp Hydra.

It even had the potential to reach the 8th rank.

Although the Swamp Hydra was now powerful, in its heart, it was still the little gray snake by the roadside.

It was still the little snake that would shrink back into the grass and shiver in fear at the slightest movement.

Only by being by Locke’s side and sensing Locke’s aura could it walk out of the nightmare of the past and become the fearless and invincible Swamp Hydra.

When Reid and Locke’s battle opportunity appeared, the Raging Flame Lion appeared and the Swamp Hydra chose to make a prompt decision.

Locke chose to meet Reid head-on. The sword pressure and the lion mane shattered at the same time.

Reid was after all a tier 5 Beastmaster and Locke only had 30% of his strength. Although he blocked the javelin, his internal organs were broken by the huge rebound force, and large mouthfuls of blood mixed with broken organs sprayed out.

The broken sword pressure and lion mane shot out in all directions like sharp arrows.

The Raging Flame Lion flapped its wings and retreated while protecting itself.

The Swamp Hydra rushed forward without caring about its own safety. It wrapped its two long necks around Locke to protect him.

Seven heads rushed forward with divine breath in their mouths and rushed to the Raging Flame Lion’s side.

Divine breath was released close to the lion’s face.

Rumble!

A violent explosion was heard.

The Swamp Hydra gave up on its own defense. It hurt 800 enemies and lost 1,000 of its own.

The Raging Flame Lion chose to defend. Although it was sent flying over 100 meters away, its injuries were not serious.

However, Reid was different.

He had just thrown the javelin with all his strength and his body was in a stiff state, unable to defend.

The Swamp Hydra grabbed the fleeting opportunity and used a mutually destructive fighting style to repel the Raging Flame Lion.

As a result, it was heavily injured.

Exchanging injuries with the Raging Flame Lion was actually not an advantage. After all, the Raging Flame Lion’s tier 5 Battle Beast’s strength was there for all to see.

However, what if he exchanged injuries with Reid?

Although Reid was a tier 5 Beastmaster, he was still a human.

With a human’s physique, he exchanged injuries with a Battle Beast. Anyone with a normal brain would know the end result.

In that instant, the Raging Flame Lion had also chosen to fight head-on.

Even if he had to fight back the Swamp Hydra at the risk of being heavily injured, even if he only bought a breath of time, Reid would still be able to avoid the attack center in time.

It was the difference of an instant choice that determined the difference between heaven and earth.

Out of the nine heads of the Swamp Hydra, seven were heavily injured and almost died.

The remaining two heads were also riddled with injuries.

On the other hand, Locke was fine because the Swamp Hydra had helped him in time.

Reid took a look at the Raging Flame Lion and could no longer suppress it.

The blood in his mouth was spat out as if it was free.

His body was like a kite with a broken string, falling straight down.

The Raging Flame Lion was stunned for a moment, but it still retracted its wings and chased after him.

The Swamp Hydra was just about to continue chasing after him when Locke stopped it.

Urgh!

Locke spat out a large amount of black blood clots and his entire body fell to the ground.

After taking Reid’s attack head-on, Locke’s injuries were far more serious than it looked.

After all, it was a tier 4 against a tier 5 and he could not use his full strength.

Being able to achieve such a result was already because Locke’s physique was superior to others.

“Go!”

Locke used all his strength to protect the Swamp Hydra’s neck, preventing himself from falling.

He had just relied on a mouthful of blood courage to hold on and once he lost his breath, he could not even stand properly.

The Swamp Hydra was also heavily injured.

Although it had a strong recovery ability, it was not immortal yet.

Up until now, it had been bitten and pounced by the Raging Flame Lion countless times. The wounds on its body seemed to have healed automatically, but in fact, it was already riddled with holes.

After that attack, almost nine of its heads were seriously injured.

At this time, any Beastmaster with a little bit of strength could easily end its life.

The Swamp Hydra carefully lifted Locke up and put him on its back to rest.

Then, it controlled the wind power to descend toward the Tanggula Mountain behind Cloud City.

Tanggula Mountain was the periphery of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, a forbidden area for humans.

Although Battle Beasts were not strong, ordinary humans did not dare to set foot in it.

After gliding in the air for a while, the Swamp Hydra landed steadily.

After confirming that the surroundings were safe, it spat out Hathaway. It did not return to the beast space to recuperate, but instead swam its huge body out to hunt.

“Locke, wake up. How are you?”

Hathaway looked at the heavily injured and unconscious Locke with tears in her eyes. Her tears were like beads that had broken lines, and she could not stop them.

The wounds on Locke’s body were densely packed, like fish scales covering his entire body.

This was because his body had been torn apart by the huge rebound force.

This kind of injury was from the inside to the outside.

It was different from knife wounds and sword wounds. There was no way to sew it up.

Hathaway cried as she took out the healing powder.

The expensive medicine poured onto Locke’s body generously. However, it was ruthlessly washed away by the blood that kept seeping out. It could not be stopped no matter what.
