Chapter 1405: Chapter 679: Banner Commanding Mountain Boy!

Fang Mu could distinctly feel the Elemental Energy consumed by the Thunder Roaring King Tiger and the Boiling Flame Scale Tiger rapidly replenishing.

Shi Chengfeng’s summoned Ghost System Beast was using a very powerful energy recovery method, which was terribly bad news for Fang Mu.

There was a certain disparity between Fang Mu and Shi Chengfeng both in terms of Beast Master star level and the rank of their Guardian Beasts.

Fang Mu used the Fusion Tyrant as a target to absorb attacks, specifically to drain the energy of Shi Chengfeng’s two tiger-type familiars.

A war of attrition was extremely disadvantageous for Fang Mu, but he did not stop Shi Chengfeng.

Firstly because Fang Mu did not have a particularly good way to stop Shi Chengfeng, and secondly because Fang Mu wanted Shi Chengfeng to keep the pressure on him.

Fang Mu used the innate divine ability of Fool’s Shadow [Eye of Omniscience] to investigate the Ghost System Beast summoned by Shi Chengfeng.

[Beast Name]: Flag Command Mountain Child

[Beast Species]: Ghost Child Family/Large Ghost Child Species

[Beast Level]: Diamond (8/10)

[Beast Element]: Ghost System

[Beast Potential]: Diamond

[Beast Quality]: Epic

Skills:

[Contain Mountain]: In an environment containing Earth Element Energy, it can merge with the environment; when attacked, it can shift its form within the environment and absorb Earth Element Energy from it.

[Forbidden Banner]: Activates the repulsive property of Earth Element Energy against other elemental energies, expelling all elemental energies other than Earth within the spatial range.

[Supplement Banner]: Gathers Earth Element Energy into other living beings, changing the elemental nature of Earth, allowing the targeted subject to transform other elements through Earth Element.

[Double Banner]: Splits the banner, enhancing the effect of the skill emanated by simultaneously waving two banners.

[Reversing Banner]: Concentrates Earth Element Energy within the body of an enemy target, causing a significant loss of energy within the enemy, the energy lost by the enemy re-enters a designated allied target when the banner reverses.

Exclusive Traits:

[Mocking Banner Command]: Applies a taunt-effect flag command to allied units, making enemies targeted by the flag command more likely to interrupt their abilities due to the taunt effect.

[Crystal Soil Blessing]: Forms a layer of hardened crystal on the specified target’s body, immobilizing targets within the crystal, allowing them to hide in their surroundings using the skill Contain Mountain.

Upon investigation, Fang Mu internally remarked that Shi Chengfeng’s Flag Command Mountain Child was virtually a nemesis to all spell-casting Guardian Beasts outside of the Earth System.

It also placed extreme restrictions on physical-type Guardian Beasts.

The skill [Forbidden Banner] prevented non-Earth elemental Guardian Beasts from even utilizing Elemental Energy in the environment.

Although [Forbidden Banner] also targets other Guardian Beasts contracted by Shi Chengfeng, the skill [Supplement Banner] perfectly resolved the energy supply issue.

It allowed Earth Element to directly transform into other element types inside the targeted body.

Fortunately, Dead Qi, not being part of Elemental Energy, was unaffected by [Forbidden Banner] and continued to spread across the field.

Meanwhile, as Fang Mu investigated Shi Chengfeng’s Ghost System Beast, he also checked on Shi Chengfeng’s Destiny Guardian Beast.

Shi Chengfeng’s Destiny Guardian Beast, named Illusory Shadow Beast, could mimic specific Guardian Beasts.

This mimicry could apply not only to its own beasts but also to enemy beasts.

Every confirmation of a mimic target had a cooldown period, limiting the Illusory Shadow Beast to mimic only one unit in each battle.

Illusory Shadow Beast’s choice for mimicry was Shi Chengfeng’s own Main Battle Mystic Beast, the Thunder Roaring King Tiger.

Indeed, the Thunder Roaring King Tiger was the strongest Guardian Beast on the field, making it the best choice for the Illusory Shadow Beast.

The more the Illusory Shadow Beast knew about the Guardian Beast it transformed into, the better it could mimic the abilities.

However, the rank of the unit mimicked by the Illusory Shadow Beast was equivalent to the Illusory Shadow Beast itself, causing the Thunder Roaring King Tiger created by the Illusory Shadow Beast to be two minor ranks lower than the original.

Shi Chengfeng had deployed the Ghost System Beast to the battlefield and also summoned his Destiny Guardian Beast.

Apart from not having used mysterious patterns yet, Shi Chengfeng had practically revealed all his cards.

Observers under twenty in the spectator stands without exception felt an immense pressure.

Shi Chengfeng, with his cards shown, appeared to them as an insurmountable chasm.

On Fang Mu’s side, Nine Coffin Sacrifice Father continued to absorb Dead Qi from the field, and its nine coffin spirits had reached a four-stage transformation, with the coffin lids moving from slightly ajar to half-open.

These Nine Black Coffins continuously expelled large amounts of Corpse Qi, and the aroma of decay from the field had reached a significant concentration.

Being inherently resistant to corpse energy, plus the Thunder Roaring King Tiger’s skill [Destructive Blood Thunder] had the effect of clearing curses and negative energy from the body.

This meant that the Thunder Roaring King Tiger and Shi Chengfeng’s Destiny Guardian Beast were not greatly affected by the Corpse Qi and aroma.

However, the scales of the Boiling Flame Scale Tiger had begun to fall off under the corrosion of Corpse Qi, causing the flesh to blur.
