Chapter 383 - False Alarm

“Looks like these mud monkeys are not stupid.”

Jerry realized this in an instant.

Previously, the mud monkeys hadn’t displayed their superior intelligence. They were only slightly stronger than the strange fish.

But now, Jerry understood that it was because the mud monkeys hadn’t started to think.

And now, the intelligence of these mud monkeys was obviously one of the top creatures in the Ghost Swamp.

After suffering from the sword qi attack, they had already learned to be smart and knew that the losses from a frontal attack were huge.

So, they began to use long-range attrition.

And when they discovered that the long-range firepower of the Sky Dynasty’s people was not enough, they also became even more determined to go on the long-range attack path.

They even learned to recycle the mud and make new mud balls.

All these signs showed that the mud monkeys were not easy to deal with.

But there was one thing that Jerry could not understand.

That was, at the beginning, the mud monkeys did not show much interest in the existence of the Sword of Victory.

At first, Jerry thought that the brains of the mud monkeys did not understand what the sword was.

But, for some reason, the mud monkeys suddenly started to surround the Sword of Victory.

Moreover, the most incredible thing was that these mud monkeys used their own bodies to block it.

It was as if they were not afraid of death.

This sudden mobilization and execution made Jerry faintly feel that perhaps there was a commander among these mud monkeys.

Otherwise, this sudden gap could not be explained.

He did not know if killing the commander would be useful.

Jerry thought as he held the pearl with one hand and activated his divine power with the other.

His idea was to use an attack to help the Sword of Victory escape from the encirclement.

Even if it would waste a portion of his divine power, he had to do so.

Although the Sword of Victory was not the strongest among them…

But in the ghost swamp, against these poisonous strange fish, a sword that could fly by itself was definitely the most suitable weapon.

However, just as Jerry was about to do so, he suddenly felt a pat on his back.

This gave him a huge shock!

He had never felt anyone walking behind him.

Moreover, ever since he opened the barrier of the pearl, nothing could come in from the outside.

Then who was the person who patted his back?

There was actually someone who could deceive his spiritual sense and stand behind him.

Jerry turned his head instantly.

Behind him were his subordinates who were circulating their divine power to help maintain the protective barrier.

There wasn’t anyone standing behind him.

This made Jerry feel a little terrified.

As he had turned his head instantly, and how fast could the other party be, to actually be able to move in such a short period of time?

A bead of sweat slid across his forehead. This was the first time in his life that he broke out in cold sweat.

At this moment, he felt a pat on his back again.

“Who is it?”

Jerry turned his head around again, but still did not see anyone.

At the same time, Jerry circulated more divine power in his hands.

The enemy before him might be ridiculously powerful.

After all, this was the Endless Tower. Many unknown terrifying creatures lived here.

Apollo circulated his divine power throughout his body, washing every inch of his body to recover his divine power.

At the same time, he also noticed His Majesty’s strange behavior.

This was the first time Apollo had seen His Majesty being so nervous in his life.

At the same time, Jerry once again felt a pat on his back.

Jerry decided that if it happened again, he would throw a divine power fluctuation behind him without saying a word. He was determined to kill the guy who patted on his back.

However, at this moment, Jerry saw Apollo’s frightened expression.

Jerry thought that Apollo might have seen something, so he quickly asked Apollo.

“Apollo, what did you see just now?”

Apollo raised his trembling finger, “There… there, there is a ghost!”

“There is a ghost?”

When Jerry heard this, he was also confused.

The word “ghost” was coined by a bunch of boring people on earth to experience the adrenaline rush.

Jerry did not believe in ghosts.

Moreover, when he walked on the path of the god-king, even if there was a ghost, it would not come to him. Therefore, Jerry had not come into contact with this concept for a long time, so he was also confused at this moment.

“It… it can move!”

Although Apollo was the son of the Sun, he was inexplicably afraid of the existence of ghosts and gods. At this moment, his facial features were distorted, and he was frightened.

“What is moving?”

Only then did Jerry realize that he and Apollo were not talking about the same thing.

What Jerry had encountered should be an extremely agile thing that could move in the blink of an eye when people turned their heads.

But Apollo was surprised that it could move.

At this moment, Jerry turned his head again.

Only then did he notice that there was something moving behind him.

At that time, there was a stick-like object wrapped in cloth.

It was nothing else.

It was Ares’s spear.

After finding this spear in the forest, Jerry had brought it back. On the way, he had conveniently wrapped it up and put it behind his back.

But now, the spear suddenly seemed to have a life of its own, shaking from time to time.

Only then did Jerry know that this was a false alarm. No one had gone around to his back.

It had always been the spear which patted on him.

He did not expect that his reputation for a lifetime was ruined by a spear today.

Jerry was speechless at the thought of this. He took the spear from his back and unwrapped it, to find out what the spear was trying to do.

However, the moment Jerry’s hand touched the spear, he felt as though an electric current was flowing through his entire body.

Jerry had experienced the same feeling when his consciousness was connected to the Sword of Victory.

This meant that, firstly, like the Sword of Victory, the spear possessed self-awareness.

Secondly, the spear had also acknowledged Jerry as its owner.

“So you’ve always had consciousness.”

Jay muttered to the spear.

“However, Ares is a battle maniac. He prefers to hold a spear in his hand and personally stab his enemies to death, so he has never shown it.”

“But this is the spear of Ares, why can I use it, too?”

At this moment, Jerry couldn’t be more familiar with the feeling, it was obviously the feeling when his consciousness was connected.

In other words, this spear could do all the functions of the Sword of Victory.

Could it be that…

Ares had already died?

The earth was still warm. This was the temperature left behind when he was seeking the wind. Jerry held the spear in his hand, and the remaining wind in the barrier blew past.

He had too many things to say.
