Chapter 223 Mosquito Beast

The Spirit Ape Devil Head transformed into a phantom shadow and lunged forward. The Yao Beast flapped its wings, immediately doubling its speed, and instantly shook off the Spirit Ape Devil Head.

Wang Lin watched clearly from behind. He patted his Storage Pouch, and a Bronze Ancient Mirror immediately appeared in his hand. After sacrificing it, he changed his Hand Seals, and a blue light flashed on the mirror, suddenly shooting out and shining upon the distant Yao Beast.

The Yao Beast’s entire body immediately paused, but soon, a trace of gray qi spread out from within its body. When the blue light shining on it touched the gray qi, it instantly petrified.

Xu Ligou was horrified deep down, thinking that this thing was indeed powerful. Luckily, he hadn’t gone up earlier. Taking advantage of Wang Lin not paying attention to him, he quickly retreated quietly, resolving that unless Wang Lin forcefully commanded him, he would absolutely not go up and look for trouble.

Wang Lin's eyes flashed, and his interest in this Yao Beast grew stronger. He changed his Hand Seal, and his right hand struck a spiritual light onto the Bronze Ancient Mirror. The mirror immediately flipped over, its back facing the direction the Yao Beast was fleeing, flashing with bursts of blue light. Immediately afterward, a creature exactly identical to the Yao Beast quickly appeared on the back of the mirror. Within a few breaths, the emerging creature let out several sharp cries and actually rushed out from inside the mirror.

As soon as this creature appeared, it grew larger against the wind, becoming almost identical to the fleeing Yao Beast. If they were placed together, it would be truly difficult to distinguish the genuine from the fake.

The sharp cry of this creature attracted the Yao Beast's attention. Its rapidly fleeing body immediately slowed down. After turning around and glancing at the creature formed by the Ancient Mirror, its massive mouthpart instantly turned red. Instead of running away, it quickly flew back, rushing forward while letting out sharp cries.

Soon, the two beasts began fighting each other. As bursts of gray qi spread out, both beasts were avoiding each other, and at the same time, their massive mouthparts constantly tried to pierce into the opponent's body.

Wang Lin stood not far away, carefully observing this Yao Beast's fighting style. Clearly, the gray qi was a certain Divine Ability of this beast, and besides that, the mouthpart was its Sharp Weapon.

After pondering for a moment, Wang Lin's mind stirred. He swept his right hand across the Bronze Ancient Mirror, and the creature illusory by the Ancient Mirror immediately slowed down. The Yao Beast seized the opportunity, instantly flashed its body, and its sharp mouthpart immediately pierced deep into the creature's body. Then, it fiercely sucked, and the creature immediately let out a wail, transforming into a blue light and dissipating completely.

The Yao Beast was clearly stunned, but soon it roared several times, turned its body, and stared fiercely at Wang Lin. Its long mouthpart turned red again, but after hesitating, it did not attack and turned to flee once more.

Wang Lin’s eyes flickered, and he shouted: “You evil creature, do you think you can escape!” Saying this, he waved his right hand, and an object immediately appeared in his hand. This object was a small banner, completely jet black, with bursts of killing intent spreading out from the flag cloth. It was exactly the Restriction Banner possessing a single-attribute Restriction. This item was Wang Lin’s most powerful Magic Treasure at the moment. Even he dared not refine it to the Minor Achievement Realm of ninety-nine sets of Restrictions. Otherwise, once the number of Restrictions reached ninety-nine, it would immediately draw down the Heavenly Tribulation. Without the obstruction of the Cultivation Devil Sea fog, this banner would very likely turn into nothingness under that Heavenly Tribulation.

Therefore, he only refined this Restriction Banner to the ninety-eighth set of Restrictions and then stopped.

The Yao Beast was already sentient. Seeing the black flag appear, fear appeared in its eyes. It frantically flapped its wings, accelerating its speed even further, almost turning into a flash of lightning as it sped away.

Wang Lin’s eyes were calm. Holding the Restriction Banner in his right hand, he suddenly waved it. Immediately, the banner cloth moved without wind, and a Restriction Qi instantly flashed out from within, descending with a roar like a shooting star streaking across the sky.

In the blink of an eye, it caught up to the Yao Beast. The fear in the beast’s eyes had already turned into panic. gray qi continuously scattered from its body, but this gray qi was truly insignificant against the attack of the Restriction Banner. Without any delay, the Restriction Qi landed on the beast's body.

The beast’s body immediately trembled and fell from mid-air. Wang Lin grabbed it across the distance, and it landed in his hand.

Wang Lin had already carefully controlled the power of the Restriction Banner, only using twenty percent of its strength, but he still underestimated the power of the single-attribute Restriction. Just twenty percent was enough to severely injure a Yao Beast equivalent to a Core Formation Late Stage Cultivator.

This Yao Beast lay prone in Wang Lin's hand, injured in multiple places, bleeding purple blood. Even its mouthpart had fine cracks, and its eyes were dim, clearly on the verge of death.

Wang Lin looked calm. He bit the tip of his right index finger, flicked a drop of fresh blood onto the beast's eyes, and then patted his Storage Pouch, taking out several Cloud Heaven Sect Medicinal Pills and feeding them to the beast.

After the Yao Beast consumed the Medicinal Pills, its body shuddered, immediately flashing with bursts of gray light. Slowly, its body wounds quickly healed, and the fine cracks on its mouthpart gradually disappeared. Before long, it returned to normal. Flapping its wings, it flew up from Wang Lin's hand, circled Wang Lin a few times, and let out helpless roars.

Wang Lin patted his Storage Pouch and threw out an Inner Core. The beast’s eyes immediately lit up, and its massive mouthpart suddenly moved, stabbing the Inner Core at extreme speed. The Inner Core rapidly shrank visibly to the naked eye, finally disappearing completely.

The beast's body wriggled, and it clearly swelled up quite a bit.

Wang Lin rubbed his chin, stared at the beast for a moment, and suddenly took out a Storage Pouch, taking out the Inner Cores inside one by one and continuously throwing them to the beast.

The Yao Beast's gaze immediately became somewhat frantic. Every time it absorbed an Inner Core, its body would grow larger by a circle. Especially when consuming a Medium Grade Spirit Beast Inner Core, the beast's body continuously swelled up by more than double.

After continuously consuming dozens of Inner Cores, the beast's body had become the size of an ordinary calf. Consequently, the subtle fuzz on its blue-black body became clearly visible, and its huge wings were over ten feet long, stirring up strong gusts of wind when flapped.

Especially the mouthpart, which tapered from the base, gave off an extremely eerie feeling. Even Wang Lin, at first glance, couldn't help but feel a little creeped out.

Wang Lin was certain that he had never encountered such a Yao Beast along the way.

When this creature was small, the gray qi it emitted was clearly its main means of attack, but now that it had grown larger, Wang Lin felt that the sharp mouthpart was the beast's true weapon.

The corner of Wang Lin's mouth twitched. He leaped up and stood on the beast's back, transmitting a Divine Thought. The beast suddenly flapped its wings, transforming into a thunderclap and disappearing instantly at extreme speed.

Wang Lin could feel the strong wind buffeting his face. Clearly, after the beast consumed the Inner Cores and grew larger, its speed also drastically increased.

Wang Lin had previously been quite envious of Qiu Siping's Boat for transportation. Although he had the hurricane formed by small beasts taken from the Ancient God Land, its speed was not very fast and could not compare to that Boat. But now, with this rather ferocious-looking Yao Beast mount, its speed already surpassed Qiu Siping's Boat, and was even comparable to Wang Lin's own flight.
