Chapter 243: Chapter 123: Overlord, Centipede-tailed Giant Rock Demon
....Translator: 549690339
Spotting that Ye Wansheng had been dragged away, Yang Ling thought that her opportunity to escape had presented itself. Using the last of her Soul Power, she added a wind barrier effect to herself, intending to leap to the higher ground and escape.
However, Yang Ling was perhaps too naive. Ye Qingzi might not allow her own brother to engage in acts that would humiliate women, but that didn’t mean she would let her enemies go easily.
Just as Yang Ling took flight, roots immediately sprang up from beneath her feet, rapidly entrapping her legs. She found herself being dragged directly to Qingzi and her group, much like Ye Wansheng had been.
“Having a younger sister is so troublesome. Otherwise, with us four men… and these two women…” Ye Wansheng grumbled, rubbing his rear end as he stood up. He was about to continue complaining but instantly shut his mouth when he felt roots sprout beneath his feet again.
With awkward smiles on their faces, Chu Xing and Chu Ning cast glances at Ye
Qingzi, showing no approval for Ye Wansheng’s lascivious behavior. For one, Chu Xing and Chu Ning wouldn’t engage in such acts with women. Secondly, they thought it better to maintain a gentlemen’s demeanor in front of such a stunning beauty as Ye Qingzi, so as not to arouse her disgust.
The ground beneath Yang Ling scraped her roughly as she was dragged over a hundred meters. Her hair and clothing were left in disarray. Gone was her previous noble and arrogant display; she now resembled a pitiful young girl rather than the pampered daughter of the Yang Clan.
“Alright, we won’t ravish you then, but you’d better hand over all your valuables… or else…” Ye Wansheng stroked his chin, wearing a suggestive grin.
Faced with no other option, Yang Ling hurriedly handed over her Space Ring.
Yang Qing, standing to the side, also handed over her Space Ring without the slightest hesitation.
Chu Mu was well-acquainted with such doings. Already in his possession were the Space Rings of Yang Dan and Yang Xue, the two whom he had killed, and he had even inventoried their contents.
“So, what do we do with these two girls? Do we ravish them before we kill them… or do we do it the other way around?” Ye Wansheng looked at the three Chu brothers.
“Do as you wish.” Chu Mu didn’t particularly care about what Ye Wansheng wanted to do. He responded indifferently, his gaze directed towards the high ground as though he sensed something.
Chu Xing and Chu Ning sported puzzled expressions. Ye Wansheng’s crude remark was unpalatable considering their younger sister was present.
“Chu Xing, Chu Ning, from what I can see you are both upright men and wouldn’t do such a thing. But it seems our Brother Chu Chen here might have an interest in it…hehe…” Ye Wansheng grinned luridly.
“Humph, to think everyone is like you!” Ye Qingzi sneered, her beautiful eyes glinting with a cold light. She wouldn’t hesitate to deal with the two women impolitely if they stepped out of line.
“Brother Chu Chen, I must say, you truly are a good actor. You’ve even deceived my sister. From the moment I first saw you, I knew we were brothers in arms, both knowledgeable and well-practiced in such dealings…” He glanced at Chu Mu, who was standing with his back turned towards him.
Chu Mu chose to ignore Ye Wansheng’s words, his gaze fixed on the dark night enveloping the high ground.
“Brother Chu Chen?” Ye Wansheng walked up to Chu Mu, puzzled by his strange behavior.
Ye Wansheng had a rationale for considering Chu Mu a like-minded companion. Many of Chu Mu’s behaviors indicated someone accustomed to killing, and out of the four Soul Pet Masters, the two who ended up dead were killed by Chu Mu. That’s why Ye Wansheng concluded that Chu Mu was far from an ordinary young man; he was more likely someone like himself, incessantly engaged in warfare and theft, seizing the limited resources available.
“Have you guys heard anything?” Chu Mu, staring at the darkness draped over the highlands, asked slowly.
“Sounds, are there any?” Ye Qingzi raised her head in response, her gaze focused on the spot Chu Mu was staring at.
“Thump–Thump–Thump-
Suddenly, a few deep, resonating thuds echoed within Ye Qingzi’s mind; these sounds felt incredibly heavy.
“Thump!! Thump!! Thump!!!!”
Gradually, they all started to feel the ground shaking and the vibrations becoming more pronounced.
The ground in the highlands started trembling; the repeated shaking caused a number of unstable rocks to fall.
All five of them had already noticed the strange trembling; their eyes were all fixed on the highland.
Suddenly, a terrifying large creature emerged from the dark night. Its giant stone-like feet stomped onto the edge of the highland. Immediately, the highland sank a bit and beneath it, the rocks began to fracture noticeably!
“Roar-
A pair of emerald-like green eyes glanced down at Chu Mu and the others from the high ground. The serpent-headed creature opened its blood-filled mouth and let out a loud roar!!
“It’s the overlord guarding the Sixth-level Cold Pool!” Chu Mu’s heart jumped as he stared at the Eight-Rank Third-Stage, Commander Level, Centipede-tailed Giant Rock Demon.
This lowland wasn’t too far from the Sixth-level Cold Pool, so this battle had undoubtedly disturbed the Commander-level Soul Pet of the Eight-Rank!
The Centipede-tailed Giant Rock Demon, encased in black-brown rock-armor from head to toe, was a ten-meter long, snake-headed, Centipede-tailed, rock-armored giant!
The angry roar still echoed through the night sky, the Centipede-tailed Giant Rock Demon’s massive green eyes completely locked onto the five of them. With a leap, the Centipede-tailed Giant Rock Demon jumped straight down from a high place. Its centipede-like tail hit the rocky ground like a terrifying chain, instantly turning the rocky ground into dust!
“Night, Death Light!” Chu Mu immediately gave the command to the Night Thunder Dream Beast.
A dark light brewed from the mouth of the Night Thunder Dream Beast, which quickly turned into a light wave and suddenly sprayed out, exploding over the body of the Centipede-tailed Giant Rock Demon!
“Bang!”
The Death Light hit the chest of the Centipede-tailed Giant Rock Demon, but the power of a level 7 Death Light didn’t leave any traces on this soul pet with its powerful defense.
“Everyone retreat, disperse!” Chu Mu immediately jumped onto the back of the Night Thunder Dream Beast, glanced at the other four people, saw that they had all jumped onto their own mounts and were backing away, and immediately ordered the Ice-Feathered Spirit to use its skills!
A series of Ice Walls rose rapidly, reaching a height of twenty meters almost instantly, standing in front of the Centipede-tailed Giant Rock Demon, obstructing its path!
“Bang—Bang—–
However, the fragile Ice Walls couldn’t obstruct it, and the powerful body easily shattered them!
“Root Network!”
“Root Network!”
Chu Mu’s Demon Tree Warrior and Pan Wood Spirit almost simultaneously cast the same skill, the two Root Networks were one in front of the other. The Demon Tree Warrior’s demonic tree roots wove into a huge Root Network, enveloping the Centipede-tailed Giant Rock Demon.
Next, the Pan Wood Spirit’s cyan roots quickly turned into a twenty-meter-diameter Root Network!
The Centipede-tailed Giant Rock Demon slightly lowered its body, but when it suddenly spread its arms, both the Demon Tree Warrior’s demonic tree roots and the Pan Wood Spirit’s cyan roots were directly exploded!
“Roar!!!!!!” After breaking free from the Root Network, the Centipede-tailed Giant Rock Demon suddenly accelerated, its body radiating a startling black light. Its entire body turned into a giant rolling rock, and it terrifyingly rolled towards the five of them!
The diameter of the rolling rock reached thirty meters. The five of Chu Mu had already commanded their soul pets to retreat. Yang Ling and Yang Qing no longer had soul pets. When the five scattered, no one cared about them. They were so frightened that they sat on the ground, their eyes full of terror as they watched the giant rock roll towards them!
“Creak———
The two didn’t even have time to scream. Even putting up a weak Ice Armor defense wouldn’t help, they couldn’t resist the attack of this 8th Rank
Commander. As the rolling rock passed, both women’s bodies exploded!
The sight of two living people being squashed was terrifying, it made Chu Xing and Chu Ning shudder, for a moment they didn’t know how to get their soul pets to deal with this terrifying soul pet combining defense and strength.
“Keep a distance from it, if you have ice attribute soul pets and earth attribute soul pets, summon them immediately to limit its speed.” Faced with the appearance of a powerful soul pet, Ye Wansheng didn’t dare to be casual anymore, and immediately spoke to the others.
As he spoke, Ye Wansheng put away his insect-type Soul Pet, Sword Sting, and summoned a snow-white special soul pet.
The nameless soul pet was clearly an ice element one, and upon being summoned, it immediately initiated the ice delay skill!
Xuan Crystal Ice Crystals slowly emerged, and with a long roar from the snow-white soul pet, they immediately turned into a gust of cold wind that swept towards the Centipede-tailed Giant Rock Demon.
The chilling effect of the Xuan Crystal Ice Crystals was much stronger than ordinary ice crystals. After the frostbite spread, the legs of the
Centipede-tailed Giant Rock Demon immediately showed some hard-frost!
The frostbite frost and frozen ice are different. After the frozen ice is shattered, it no longer has any effect on the body, but the frostbite frost will seep into the soul pet’s skin, flesh, and bones, causing their speed to drop rapidly.
Ye Wansheng’s weird soul pet’s frostbite frost was very effective, the terrifying Centipede-tailed Giant Rock Demon’s speed immediately slowed down a lot, and its jumping ability was no longer that terrifying!
“Good.” Chu Mu praised Ye Wansheng, and immediately instructed the
Ice-Feathered Spirit to use the Ice Hindrance skill to stack up this delay effect.
The Ice Hindrance skill is much lower level than the frostbite frost skill, and the Ice-Feathered Spirit’s control over the ice element didn’t seem to be as strong as that of Ye Wansheng’s special ice attribute soul pet.
Chu Xing and Chu Ning both withdrew their close combat soul pets. Except for the fastest soul pets they were riding, they all summoned their elemental soul pets to launch long range attacks on this soul pet whose close combat ability was extreme.
Chu Xing summoned the Level 6 Rank 1 – Warrior Level – Rock Meteor Spirit, and Chu Ning summoned the Seventh Rank Eighth Stage – Servant Level – Ice Sprite. The rank and stage of these two soul pets were not high, they couldn’t truly hurt this 8th Rank Commander, but they could still play a certain restricting role.
