How Am I Still Alive?-Chapter 207 - 189: Pinky Swear

"Can we beat it?" Even without looking back, Lu Ping’an could sense the dangerous aura below. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"A perfect template for a young Lizard Dragon species, there’s no way we can beat it." Although he didn’t understand what the big cat meant by "perfect template," the message was clear.

Being reckless could cost you everything, including your life.

Lu Ping’an wasn’t asking her for nonsense; the wall-sized body and BOSS-level aura were clearly beyond his 2-tier capabilities.

Dragging it to the human defenses? Well, what they had done before could be explained afterward, at least giving some plausible excuses. But bringing this thing now would be tantamount to intentional murder.

"Is there a way?" Lu Ping’an felt helpless, the "scenery" he had designed earlier did not quite match this creature’s attributes and would probably have no effect.

"There are two, but both will bring endless troubles. Don’t tell me you haven’t thought of them." Big Cat also understood, she knew Lu Ping’an must have some ideas.

"...Brother Guan, help me make a call to Xia Qin. Tell her that a ferocious beast is chasing us and we need a ’Bird Cage’..." Since they couldn’t defeat it, they naturally needed to call for reinforcements.

Haibolon’s metal Bird Cage, a Rule-level Taboo item, was a perfect match for these powerful but low-intelligence creatures.

But its main function was to separate the battlefield so that the battle of giant beasts would not affect too many innocents.

"Senior brother?" Lu Ping’an raised his head and asked when he did not get a response from Guan Xinxian.

He saw Guan Xinxian looking back, his rage-filled eyes were locked onto the Fishman upper body on one of the dragon heads.

It seemed to be Jia Yi, but only half of its skull and shoulder remained. The fusion of flesh and spirit body was still in progress, and the rest seemed to have merged into the Three-Headed Dragon.

"It’s ’Taboo. Flesh Fusion (Human-Beast)’, the ultimate Abnormal Ability of a fifth-tier Beast Tamer, which can only be used once in a lifetime. It can thoroughly fuse with a contracted beast...ha, Jia Yi is really willing to do this." Big Cat immediately recognized the ability and even felt a bit familiar with it.

It was somewhat similar to Meow’s "Spirit Fusion", but Meow’s ability was reversible and controllable, while this ability provided by the Evil Gods-related Beast Tamers was a one-time deal, often used when the Beast Tamer’s life was near its end or had been driven into a dead-end.

After the fusion, would you still be you with your memories and personality? It’s hard to say.

In fact, Jia Yi was really out of options.

"The Filthy One Saldarazi", was enraged the moment it crossed over.

Both the world and the forced teleportation made it furious. Even more outrageous was that as soon as it arrived, it felt the hidden "Beast Tamer Contract" within the Door to Otherworld.

So, it rebelled on the spot, directly swallowing the tiny summoner whole... If it weren’t for Jia Yi’s quick reaction, he would have been completely digested.

This is the most likely outcome for summoners who follow the Otherworldly, Sacrifice, and Beast Tamer paths.

Seeking stronger beasts despite insufficient power, even with the most perfect contracts, backlash would still only be a matter of time.

Jia Yi could mess around in the past because he and the summoned had the same boss, who had to give face, and the negotiation object had some basic intelligence... But now, a nearly irrational beast wouldn’t understand what face meant. Naturally, it would swallow the weaker party using a fragile leash to bind it.

Considering the power gap between Jia Yi and the Filthy One, even if the fusion is successful, Jia Yi would most likely be left with only an attached thought-circuit and spell-casting unit.

"Damn it..." Guan Xinxian’s face was ashen. Having gathered much information on Beast Tamers, he understood the situation better than Lu Ping’an.

What angered him was not the inability to take revenge personally, although that was a bit regretful. As long as Jia Yi died and died miserably, he could accept it.

"... Is merging completely with the Immortality Species another kind of eternal life? Will we never be able to kill it again?" Guan Xinxian couldn’t accept this outcome.

If it wasn’t for Lu Ping’an still in his hands, he might have rushed forward, driven by rage, and tried to destroy the Brain in the process of fusion.

Now, the situation was getting worse.

The Filthy One was not fast, maybe because of its fish-like, six-limbed skin structure or because it was adjusting to the rules of this world.

Otherworldly beings, upon arrival in this world, would be forcefully suppressed.

Once ashore, the skin surrounding it was like bright purple flames, the high temperature generated by evaporating and even igniting its body fluid directly distorted the surrounding air. Judging by the twisted, deformed, and charred skin in some areas, it was clearly uncomfortable with this environment.

But expecting it to die on the spot was just wishful thinking.

Lu Ping’an even tried throwing several "hand grenades"... Uh, the beast didn’t seem to notice them.

Lu Ping’an was still thinking. Unlike Big Cat, who only had two ideas, he had four plans at his disposal. However, each plan had risks and rewards that were just as enormous.

The most reliable plan was to stall the beast and wait for the Bird Cage to arrive, but that would mean having a Captain-level member of their team risk their lives... Lu Ping’an instinctively felt that compared to the recently born "TV Tower Giant," the creature behind them was far more terrifying. Its battle instincts and talent were outrageous and the chances of losing to the Bird Cage were too high.
