Chapter 38: First Fight
Their fight was fierce, even though it was an elephant, it was also very agile. Its trunk acts like a tail and strikes like claws.
Those young people didn't even dare to approach, they only dared to attack from afar.
At first their fight was evenly matched, but over time, the elephant began to have the upper hand.
'They should be able to escape, but why didn't they choose to flee? Even if the elephant chases them, they can still conserve their energy until they reach a safe place.'
Luo Tian felt curious, he finally flew towards them.
He was no longer hiding himself either.
After arriving about ten meters away from them, he made a z-movement with two of his fingers.
Eight stars in a z line then appeared in the sky. Each of them shot a light straight at the elephant.
Whoosh... Whoosh... Whoosh...
With the speed of their light, they hit the elephant in an instant and pierced through its body until blood spurted out.
The elephant screamed in pain as it lifted its head up. It looked at Luo Tian who was flying in the air with bulging eyes.
Xiu...
Suddenly its trunk lengthened, it moved swiftly towards him.
"What's with this elephant?"
He initially thought it was going to fall, but apparently it was still able to unleash a counterattack.
He quickly flew upwards, due to his haste, his body swayed slightly so that his flight seemed awkward.
In the end, the only excess of star power was the star formation. Using that power to fight head-on was really awkward.
He was unable to release power from his body and even when he flew, he had to control that power to control his body, it was different from cultivators who controlled their bodies directly.
Fortunately his realm was one level above that of the elephant, otherwise the situation would definitely be bad.
He looked at the elephant and found the wounds on its body starting to heal, its aura still as fierce as before.
The people who were fighting with the elephant were shocked by his appearance, the middle-aged man then shouted, "There's no point in hurting its body, you have to destroy its red core, it's on the forehead."
He looked at the middle-aged man with a furrowed brow.
Such a thing does exist, but not in the beasts that are still in the golden body realm.
'This foreign enemy does have extremely terrifying abilities, no wonder six out of ten realms have been destroyed.'
Although no one ever spoke of it, there is no doubt that it was done by them.
Luo Tian started to think about how to attack the elephant, even though it couldn't catch up with him because it couldn't fly yet, but it kept an eye on him.
"Guys, please distract the elephant, I'll attack it one more time," he said to the people.
They nodded and started attacking the elephant once more.
He, on the other hand, was flying higher.
About two hundred meters in the air, he flew around to form a star in an area of one hundred meters while the fingers of both hands moved like someone playing the flute.
No one knew what he was doing, even the elephant was getting confused.
"I hope this will work," he said in a low voice.
The formation he was forming now was a single point attack formation, it was simple but extremely lethal if it hit the target properly.
He was ready to attack, he was just waiting for the right moment.
Given his realm being one level above, it would be too embarrassing if he failed again.
Whoosh...
He then flew downwards with the aim of diverting the elephant's gaze from the sky.
"Now!" He said with killing intent.
A spear condensed from light appeared in the center of the star area he formed.
Whoosh....
The spear shot out as fast as light as soon as it appeared.
It pierced through space thus shortening the distance, it only took the blink of an eye for it to arrive in front of the elephant's forehead.
Xiu...
It went straight through the elephant's forehead, a sound like breaking glass resounded from inside the elephant's head as a blood-red light radiated from it.
Thud...
The elephant's body fell instantly, causing the ground to shake.
"Phew..." He sighed in relief.
In his heart he said, 'One hundred thousand years without feeling the harshness of the cultivation world, I am really like rusty iron.'
His fight this time couldn't be considered bad, after all, he didn't know that the elephant had the ability to regenerate. However, he couldn't deny that he fought so awkwardly.
He flew up to the elephant, the four people were also there.
But to his surprise, as he approached them, he found them taking an alert posture.
They looked ready to swing their weapons at him.
'What's wrong with these people?'
He scratched his neck.
The middle-aged man took one step forward, without letting go of his weapon, he said, "Young master, who are you? Where are you from?"
He narrowed his eyes as he asked.
'They look like people who have many enemies, or are they fugitives?'
Luo Tian had read many books on the attitudes of people in the cultivation world, so he could make some guesses.
"Emm," he cleared his throat before replying, "I'm Luo Tian."
"Luo Tian? Who?"
They are confused.
"Well, my identity doesn't matter, you guys can't possibly know. But rest assured that I won't do anything that would threaten you." He spoke in a friendly tone.
However, they still did not lower their guard.
'Well, looks like they really are fugitives.'
He could make Yingyue get a good impression, there was no doubt about her aura and temperament, but they were not affected at all.
He looked at them one by one once more, especially the three young people.
After observing them for a while, he felt that they had different temperaments even though they were only wearing ordinary clothes. Their appearance wasn't bad either, they still looked good even with their unkempt looking condition.
'Looks like they're from a noble family.'
He looked around, he was a bit confused at first but soon his eyes brightened.
"By the way, why didn't you guys run away earlier?" he asked.
His question this time made their expressions become doubtful, they looked like they were contemplating the right answer.
He realized one more thing as he looked around, he really couldn't find any footprints whether it was to the west, east, north, or south. Then where did they come from? Silver body and golden body like them were still unable to fly. Of course, cultivators like them could still travel without leaving a trace as long as they did so carefully.
One discovery will lead to another discovery.
He quickly guessed their reason.
They probably don't want to be chased by the elephant so they can't go on a journey without leaving a trail.
Even though they might be weaker than the elephant, that didn't mean they couldn't kill him at all.
He no longer tried to ask, he then used star power to envelop their bodies. After that, he flew their bodies regardless of their dumbfounded expressions.
He needed to help them first if he wanted them to answer his questions.
