As soon as Lin Heng and Qi Qi reached the top of the mountain, the ordinary thorns around them were already activated.

These iron rods and thorns with sharp thorns are very scary, as hard as iron, and the sharp thorns are also poisonous, which will cause severe pain and cause the wound to bleed.

"Ouch! (｀⌒′メ)"

Seventeen showed a look of disdain, only to hear a tinkling sound, silver rays of light flashed, and all the iron bars and thorns within three meters fell to the ground.

A hatchet also appeared in Lin Heng's hand, but he didn't even need to use it. Seventeen opened his way and he walked over casually.

"Is this the perfect level of tearing claw? It feels like thorns like this can't do anything to them."

"Yes, no wonder he is called a monster newcomer, but he still has some strength."

Someone nodded.

"What's wrong with this? What's really powerful is the thorn demon itself."

"That's right, you will soon understand how powerful the Thorn Demon is!"

The beastmasters who were watching below had all paused the fight and stepped back to watch the battle.

No matter whether Lin Heng loses or wins, they can gain valuable experience.

A drone also appeared in the sky, which apparently captured the scene and is currently broadcasting it.

The broadcaster located in the base camp outside the assessment area suddenly said: "I have a beast master who challenges the leader-level monster."

"Very good, broadcast it here!"

Zheng Qiankun, president of the Beast Masters Association, said.

Sitting with him were several big shots, including Liu Fei, the president of the Liushan District Breeders Association, and Chang Qingshan, the curator of the Vajra Martial Arts Hall.

Soon, Lin Heng and Shi Qi's figures appeared on the big screen, and information about him was also extracted and displayed.

"Well, an eighth-level servant-level sword-tailed marten dares to challenge the commander-level thorn demon. You are very brave."

Liu Fei, president of the Breeders Association, was the first to comment.

"I know this guy, he is really talented and bold.

Although this sword-tailed ferret has been soaked in the spiritual spring and its potential has reached the limit of low-grade, it is still a bit uncertain and depends on strategy and operation."

Zheng Qiankun said that his knowledge of Lin Heng and Sword-tailed Diao Qi came from the reports of Xiao Bai and Jiang Xue, and he did not know his current strength.

"I'm not very optimistic about it. If other beast masters still have a chance, the Thorn Demon's recovery is too strong, and he will definitely not be able to defeat it."

The director of the Vajra Martial Arts Hall shook his head and said, although the gold element restrained the wood element, the gap was too big, and they were dealing with a guy who was extremely good at recovery.

On the Thorny Mountain, as they continued to advance, they were less than fifty meters away from the Thorny Demon.

The body of the Thorn Demon is huge, more than thirty meters long, with dozens or hundreds of vine branches.

As Shi Qi stepped closer, this guy finally got angry.

It directly activated the growth skill. Not only did its own vines suddenly grow longer, but it also controlled the surrounding iron rods and thorns to grow wildly.

Almost instantly, they surrounded Shiqi from all directions, like hundreds of slithering poisonous snakes, which was terrifying to watch.

"Seventeen, gather your strength and continue tearing apart the claws!"

Facing such attacks, Lin Heng's tone was as calm as water and he spoke slowly.

But the movements of his hands did not stop, because the thorns around him were also growing, and he had to keep cutting them down.

"Ouch!!"

Shi Qi roared angrily, and waves of white gold spiritual power entered his body.

After gathering Qi, it pounced to the left, actively faced the thorns and vines that came up, and kept using its tearing claws to cut with its sharp edges.

After cutting the left side, the right side comes again. After cutting the right side, there are still front and back parts.

Although some of the metal spiritual power attached to the Seventeenth Cut has the effect of hindering growth, it can be said to have no effect under the more powerful growth skills.

Seventeen wanted to move forward and destroy the roots of the Thorn Demon, but his opponent didn't give him a chance.

Although the thorn demon is a plant monster, its IQ is not low. It pulls and pulls everywhere, giving Shi Qi no chance to move forward at all.

"Ouch! Ouch!"

Seventeen roared in pain. It was injured by the thorns, and the poison entered its body, causing severe pain.

While constantly cutting and getting closer, he looked back at Lin Heng, expressing that he wanted to use the sword tail to deal with the thorn demon remotely.

"No, you can gather your energy again and use the tearing claw.

This is your best chance to understand the Realm Rending Claw. The pain and overwhelming attacks will make you explode.

If you are angry, you can focus your power on your claws and condense the claw light to kill it. Not only will you no longer have to endure pain, but you will also have a lot of money to buy food!

Don't be afraid, just attack as much as you want, I feel your pain!"

As Lin Heng said this, he chopped down the thorns around him with a twisted expression.

His hands and arms had long been pricked by thorns, and the pain caused his back molars to break.

But he didn't retreat, he just chopped down the thorns faster.

Because he came up with this method, he couldn't let his partner Shi Qi suffer alone while he stood in the distance talking and laughing.

"Ouch!!!"

Seventeen roared angrily, gathered his energy again, and fought even more crazily!

However, the thorn vines grew closer and closer, and the thorn demon took root in the earth, and its power was endless.

"I just said don't overestimate your capabilities. Forget it if you pretend to be cool, you can't even think of it now!"

Xiao Kang on the mountainside shook his head and said that he felt that Lin Heng would have to ask for help soon.

He was so overestimated that he didn't even dare to directly challenge the thorn monster. How dare he.

"How come this guy hasn't improved at all for so long?"

Wang Zhou seemed a little confused, feeling that Lin Heng's strength was no different from before.

"Lin Heng is in a terrible situation now. He will probably be the first to be eliminated!"

"Oh, people can't be arrogant! No matter how powerful the tearing claw is, there will always be a time when the physical strength is exhausted."

"The only thing I admire is that he went in himself and endured the severe pain and poison of the thorns without screaming."

The beast masters at the foot of the mountain also talked to each other, with different emotions, but generally felt that Lin Heng was a bit too arrogant and would be eliminated.

Even the three people in front of the screen in the base camp were a little uninterested.

"I thought I saw an outstanding junior, but he can only be described as courageous, not excellent.

It’s unrealistic to rely on the thorn demon’s training to break through the tearing claw to the level of transformation. He thinks that breaking through in battle is as simple as that.”

Liu Fei, president of the Breeders Association, shook his head, feeling that Lin Heng was taking things for granted.

As an intermediate breeder, he was naturally not as ignorant as those at the scene. He understood what Lin Heng was doing, so he was even less optimistic.

Transformation is too difficult. Even with low-level skills, it takes decades of continuous practice to reach the transformation state.

"I admire this kid very much. He is a ruthless person who endures pain with the beast. Even if he fails, I am willing to provide him with some help."

Chang Qingshan, director of the Vajra Martial Arts Hall, nodded, although he was not optimistic about Lin Heng either.

But there are very few juniors who admire his behavior, dare to make such an attempt, and share the joys and sorrows with the beast.

Even Zheng Qiankun sighed and said: "Yes, young people now regard beast control as a cool thing, and they always hide behind it.

Unlike us back then, when we were fighting in the wilderness with the beasts, even if Lin Heng failed, he still had great courage."

Obviously he was not optimistic about Lin Heng either, but he was moved by this courage and decided that even if Lin Heng failed, he would also help.

This kind of firm will is often more valuable and more difficult than talent.

Time passed by, and soon someone else challenged the leader-level monster, and the main character was switched on the big screen.

Zheng Qiankun and the others arranged for the rescue, but they no longer paid much attention.

Even at the foot of Thorny Mountain, many people left one after another because rescue had already arrived, waiting for Lin Heng to press the emergency rescue button.

Half an hour had passed by now. Seventeen's physical strength was gradually exhausted, and there were more and more blood stains on his body.

The same was true for Lin Heng. His whole body was covered with wounds. The severe pain had broken his teeth and he had already become numb.

"Isn't it still possible? It seems that the transformation state is not easy to break through."

Lin Heng shook his head, a little helpless. Although he could use the skill fruit, he still wanted to try it.

If you make a breakthrough on your own, it is very important for Shi Qi's character development.

A breakthrough in battle will make its will become indestructible, which no amount of skill fruits can bring.

And if you don't have a firm will, no matter how many skills you try, your strength may not be what you want.

But now it's impossible, so I have to give up.

He raised his head, looked at Seventeen and said with a smile: "It's okay, we have worked hard. Let's gather our energy again and use the sword tail!"
