This was Ye Zhongming's first time fighting while riding the earth yellow pill.
To be honest, he felt a bit uncomfortable.
It was only because of the Stable Beast Saddle that he wanted to see what kind of power this brand new combat style could unleash.
After all, in two lifetimes, Ye Zhongming had never tried to fight mounted.
He didn't know much about the mountain spike beast; he had heard of it in his past life but had never seen one in person. He had seen pictures and remembered the records related to this monster, only knowing that it was an exceptionally powerful earth-type beast.
Compared to the mutated life forms native to Earth, monsters of the same level were generally stronger, and some treasure guardian beasts even possessed abilities that could surpass their level.
Therefore, evolvers usually avoided provoking these non-Earth species, as the cost-to-benefit ratio was very low.
However, Ye Zhongming didn't share this mindset. Whenever monsters were discovered around Ying City, he had to eradicate them. He was well aware of the terrifying evolution speed of these non-Earth creatures and their immense destructive power. If they were allowed to evolve unchecked, it wouldn't be long before the surrounding survivors would suffer.
Just look at Yangos; at that time in Ying City, he had evolved to a level that surpassed many Rat Kings and Corpse Kings under him.
Naturally, while the monsters were formidable, their value was indeed greater than that of mutated animals. Every part of their bodies was made of extremely high-quality materials, the flesh contained more energy, and some even produced various 'treasures' that could grant survivors special abilities.
But in the current situation, Ye Zhongming was not willing to encounter such creatures.
Even though he had absolute confidence in his team, he feared unexpected events. After all, the dangers posed by tens of thousands of zombies and over two thousand mutated spiders were not easy to assess. If there were particularly powerful and strange individuals among them, it could easily change the outcome of the battle.
Yet he also knew he couldn't spare any hands; there were too few people brought along, and he could only deal with the two monsters in front of him in this way.
As the sound of sharp arrows echoed, he knew it was Zhao Xingmei's attack, alongside the explosions of some magic crystal weapons. His team had started their assault, and he lightly patted the partially healed short fur on the neck of the golden dog beneath him as the earth yellow pill dashed forward.
Cloud Summit advocated an aggressive style, which Ye Zhongming had instilled; the current situation compelled him to attack.
Thus began the first cooperative battle between the battle beast and its master.
The mountain spike beast resembled a bear, but any type of bear on Earth appeared exceptionally small compared to this monster. Standing over five meters tall, it was enough to intimidate any earthly creature.
Seeing the approaching humans who were barely over half its height, the two mountain spike beasts roared and lowered their bodies, charging forward with their four legs without showing any sign of weakness.
The ground shook with their charge.
The earth yellow pill was faster and more graceful, while the mountain spike beasts were imposing and fierce.
At a distance of several dozen meters, their attacks commenced.
First was Ye Zhongming, who aimed his firearm at the wall and fired two shots, six bullets flying out in quick succession; this was the three flower essence blood bullet combined with muzzle space folding!
The mountain spike beasts launched their attacks simultaneously. Beneath the earth yellow pill, massive rock spikes suddenly shot out from the ground at high speed. Even with the agility of the earth yellow pill, it had to dodge left and right, but still got grazed by one, directly breaching its defenses and leaving a gash from which blood seeped.
The three flower essence blood bullets also struck the mountain spike beast, but the effect left Ye Zhongming stunned.
