The King of Beast Trainers

98  Chapter 74: The Cricket's Revenge_3

```

"Wakawakawaka."

"Wakawaka."

It kept calling out, voicing its worries.

"[Wakakaka, such terrifying mandibles, if they bit me, I would surely die instantly.]"

The King of Sudden Death looked at Lu Ran pleadingly for help.

"What's it saying?" Across from him, Yang Xishuai, seeing that Lu Ran's Pet Beast was so talkative, asked curiously.

Such things could only be understood by the Pet Beast's Beast Trainer, unless, in the future, the King of Sudden Death mastered an ability akin to Mental Electricity Sensing, capable of communicating directly with the other side.

"Are you sure you want to know? 'Such terrifying mandibles, if they bit me, I would surely die instantly'..." Lu Ran imitated with precision.

"Damn." Even though it was a comment that showed weakness, Yang Xishuai always felt that Lu Ran and his lizard were sarcastically ribbing them, mocking them in an underhanded manner.

"Heh, don't be so smug just yet. You'll see how formidable it is in a moment!"

"Attack!" With that command, Yang Xishuai waved his hand grandly and his Golden Cricket Warrior swooped in like an air battle general, aiming straight for the King of Sudden Death.

Seeing this, Lu Ran didn't give any particular command, deciding to let the King of Sudden Death play its part.

The King of Sudden Death was shocked and intended to invoke its Thunder Armor for protection, but due to the size of the arena and Yang Xishuai's dishonorable tactics of attacking without warning, the King of Sudden Death couldn't construct its armor in time and was struck by the enemy.

"Crack!" The Cricket Warrior's Golden Attribute Energy Coverage, like a spear made of metal, struck the King of Sudden Death.

Just as the King of Sudden Death was about to wail in agony, a sharp "Squeee—" sounded, and the Golden Cricket's appendage above seemed to smash against something exceedingly hard; instead, it was the one in excruciating pain.

"Hiss—" The rebounding force repelled the Golden Cricket, causing it to retreat with a tingling scalp and a groggy head, leaving the King of Sudden Death taken aback.

Yang Xishuai's eyes were wide as well.

"Good grief, it didn't even break the defense?" Observing this, the surrounding onlookers also began to comment, saying, "That lizard has such strong defensive power."

"The opposition's Golden Attribute Energy was on the antennae for the attack, which could easily slice through rocks, yet it couldn't even pierce the lizard's natural hide."

"The friend of the Five Poison Sect's Saintess is indeed a formidable Beast Trainer."

"Impossible!" Yang Xishuai, unable to accept the various comments he was hearing, continued, "Bite it!"

At this moment, the King of Sudden Death finally came to its senses, and traces of electricity began to flow on its body. Alas, it was only basic coverage; still unable to conjure its armor, the Cricket Warrior attacked ferociously once again, scaring the flustered King of Sudden Death out of its wits.

In an instant, upon contact with King of Sudden Death, now covered entirely in Thunder Attribute Energy, the Cricket Warrior's body numbed, black smoke billowed, and it convulsed to the ground.

At this time, the King of Sudden Death, looking at the Cricket Warrior that had fallen beside it, was stunned once again.

What? How did this happen, their attack was so fast.

It hadn't managed to fully deploy its Thunder Armor and had merely started covering itself with Thunder Attribute Energy. How did the other side just... just collapse?

The King of Sudden Death, looking at the fallen Cricket Warrior next to it, fell into contemplation, unsure whether to continue constructing its Thunder Spike Armor.

"Waka. (I haven't even fully activated my Defense Skill, why did you collapse?)"

The King of Sudden Death was immensely shocked; thinking the Cricket Warrior was formidable, but was that all? It couldn't even breach its basic defense!

"Looks like it's over." Lu Ran said, "It's just a mild paralysis, no big deal. Take it to rest for a bit and it'll be fine, I am leaving now."

The battle came to a simple end, and Fang Lan couldn't help but reflect, "Its defensive power is so strong."

"In that regard, it does have a Talent. When it first awakened, its scales had a defensive power comparable to several levels higher wild boars covered in Rock Energy. And now...," Lu Ran said with a smile, continuing to walk away with Fang Lan. King of Sudden Death hesitated for a moment, then promptly followed.

The King of Sudden Death, now having leveled up several times and having feasted on a multitude of Heart of the Insect provided by Mr. Husky to increase the hardness of its scales, had a scale defensive power that was incomprehensibly powerful.

If it were to deploy its Thunder Spike Armor, Lu Ran estimated that even if it stood still and didn't counterattack, it could reflect damage and defeat a horde of wild level 10 creatures.

Of course, Lu Ran also saw its flaws; its response was still somewhat slow, and it couldn't have its armor up in a flash. This was the disadvantage of not mastering the Energy Flow Technique, as well as a result of its prior unchanging stance of maintaining the Thunder Spike Armor without repeatedly activating and deactivating it. It seemed Mr. Husky would have to keep punching it without letting the King of Sudden Death anticipate the strikes beforehand.

At this moment, the King of Sudden Death too was reflecting—it might be best not to deactivate its Thunder Spike Armor... if danger struck, it wouldn't have time to don it! Perhaps even while sleeping, it should wear a thick layer of armor just in case!

Lu Ran and Fang Lan, however, had already left.

But Yang Xishuai stood rooted to the spot, completely stunned.

His Cricket Warrior... couldn't even break through the opponent's defense!!! And just got electrocuted by the backlash!!!

How could this be!!!

Feeling the pointing fingers and murmurs of the surrounding bystanders, Yang Xishuai's vision darkened, how could Lu Ran be so strong!!
