Chapter 241: Chapter 210 Master Devourer_1

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Facing the projectiles suddenly fired from the bushes, he hurriedly dodged.

Yet, to their utter surprise, these projectiles could change their direction in mid-air and pursued them.

“It’s a monster beast!”

A shout came from the man with the purple face.

This man didn’t hesitate and launched an attack on these orbs.

Since they had already discovered that he, Xu Mu, cultivated thundering skills, he no longer hid and released a volley of thunderous attacks on these incoming projectiles.

He didn’t know what these projectiles were or how advanced these monster beasts could be, but he did know that their shells were extremely hard.

He had to unleash three thunder attacks to kill them.

“Their defensive power is too strong, we should retreat first!”

Without waiting for others to respond, Xu Mu suddenly sped up and escaped.

The others too, without a word, followed him. They ran for hundreds of miles before finally escaping the onslaught of these strange projectiles.

Unexpectedly, amidst the chaotic situation, the man with the purple face actually managed to catch a projectile.

He released a golden thunderbolt from his hand, killing the projectile in his grip-

In the end, the projectile disintegrated, revealing a body that resembled a rat.

Xu Mu thought the creature resembled a pangolin but was clearly more formidable than the pangolins from his previous life.

However, what concerned him more was the fact that the man with the purple face also cultivated thundering skills.

“Although this monster beast is not of a high grade, its attack power is not weak. It’s a pity that it’s been eroded by the evil spirit; otherwise, it would be good to catch a few and raise them,” said the man with the purple face, showing a hint of regret after storing the beast’s carcass into his storage bag.

At this moment, Xu Mu said, “There are too many monster beasts here, all of which are brutal and menacing. Let’s walk on the ground instead, it’s slightly safer.”

“Coward!” scoffed the woman with the blue face.

The others looked at him with contempt.

“We have wasted too much time. If we continue to delay, it may hinder the senior’s important matter,” said the man with the purple face.

Xu Mu shrugged and chose to conform.

As for the puppet-like cats on his shoulder, they lay motionless, as though they were asleep.

On the following journey, they inevitably encountered several waves of monster beasts’ attacks, which they luckily managed to avoid.

By the time they were close to their destination, they descended from the sky and cautiously approached.

After passing through a dense forest, an open space appeared in front of them. An ancient tree with lush branches and leaves stood quietly in the center.

The moment they saw the tree, their eyes immediately revealed a hint of fear.

Not only were its leaves black as ink, but they were also constantly emitting a strong Yin Sha Qi.

It seemed that the entire space’s Yin evil spirit emanated from there.

However, what made them more fearful was that a woman sat cross-legged under the tree. She wore blood-stained white armor, her hair neatly tied behind her head, her eyes closed, completely motionless.

Next to her, a large bronze halberd two meters long was quietly inserted into the ground. Covered with weathered traces, it seemed to have experienced a long period of time.

“Seniors, are you mistaken? This person looks exactly like the senior!”

Xu Mu touched the puppet cat on his shoulder and said in astonishment.

The others were also waiting for the puppet cat’s answer.

Unfortunately, not long after they met and set off, these cats were like they were in a deep sleep, motionless.

In response to Xu Mu’s inquiry this time, they still had no reaction.

“Fellow daoists, what should we do now?”

Seeing that the puppet cats didn’t respond, Xu Mu looked at the people around him.

The situation in front of them was indeed strange. The woman who had meticulously gathered them together with great effort turned out to be their final target.

“Could the two women be twin sisters? They started fighting over something, and the senior is not in a convenient position to intervene, so she asked us to do it!” suggested the woman with the blue face.

Others thought her reasoning made some sense.

“So what do we do now? Do we act immediately, or wait a while?” the woman with the blue face continued.

“Now that things have reached this point, is there still a way to retreat?”

The woman with the red face suddenly spoke up, releasing her divine sword without hesitation, and attacked the woman in the white armor.

The others hadn’t expected him to act so decisively and instinctively deployed their magical treasures for defense.

Xu Mu, on the other hand, performed a defensive spell.

Clang!

To everyone’s utter astonishment, the red-faced woman’s flying sword hit the white-armored woman as if it had struck against a ten-thousand-year-old piece of black iron, and was actually knocked flying away.

The attacked white-armored woman remained unharmed, but the attacking red-faced woman’s energy surged throughout her body, as if she had sustained internal injuries.

Everyone was so shocked that for a moment they were lost for words.

“Could this woman also be a puppet?” Xu Mu asked.

This brightened everyone’s eyes, and they all thought it was very possible.

This guess was more credible than the one suggested by the blue-faced woman.

“No matter what she is, we just need to destroy her. Don’t forget our situation!”

The red-armored woman lifted a corner of her mask and said after taking a pill to heal her injuries.

Considering their own situation, everyone had no choice but to listen to the red-faced woman and together they launched an attack on the white-armored woman.

However, this time everyone was smart and didn’t release their Lifebound magical treasures to perform all-out spells.

Despite their all-out attacks, they exhausted all their means but still couldn’t hurt her at all.

“What material is this puppet made of? It’s too durable!” The blue-faced woman complained.

The light in Xu Mu’s eyes flickered, and just as he was about to investigate, he suddenly felt a heat in his chest.

It’s here!

With a shift in his thoughts, Xu Mu realized that he couldn’t escape it after all.

The next moment, the symbols on his chest appeared and quickly spread throughout his body. At the same time, he also lost control over his body.

Not only him, but the others also experienced the same thing.

“I knew it!”

“Damn it! That woman definitely had malicious intentions!”

None of them were fools; they had probably already guessed this when that woman had planted the symbols on them.

At this time, the puppet cats on their shoulders finally woke up.

“What exactly is going on?” The purple-faced fat man asked coldly.

For the first time, his voice was no longer calm.

The puppet cats ignored him. They all jumped to the ground, merged with each other, then gradually inflated and transformed into a half-human, half-cat figure.

“Senior, what exactly is going on?”

At this moment, the others also couldn’t help but ask.

Regrettably, the cat woman still didn’t pay any attention to them. Her eyes were fixed on a figure sitting cross-legged in the distance. She squeezed the Finger Jue in her hand and chanted an ancient, obscure spell.

The cat woman shone all over, slowly flew into the air, and made a series of symbols merge into the bronze halberd.

At the same moment, the six individuals started performing a specific spell unconsciously, and their internal spiritual power began to consume rapidly.

In only a few breaths, Xu Mu felt that a tenth of his spiritual power had been consumed.

The next moment, the entire space began to shake violently.

Rumble!

Six beams of light were projected from afar and landed on the cat woman. With this energy’s assistance, the cat woman’s aura began to increase rapidly. In the blink of an eye, she went from the Foundation Establishment Stage to a level that terrified them.

Even a fool could tell that they were being used as some kind of sacrifices.

The cat woman’s aura grew stronger and stronger. The bronze halberd inserted upside down on the ground began to shake slightly as if it was about to fly up.

At the same time, due to the mysterious spell, the spiritual power inside the six of them had been consumed by more than half. However, the symbols that controlled them showed no signs of stopping. They were still ruthlessly squeezing out the spiritual power in their bodies.

Hum!

The bronze halberd on the ground shook more and more violently. Just as it was about to fly, the white-armored woman, who had been sitting with her eyes closed all this time, suddenly stretched out her hand and grabbed it. She then slowly opened her eyes.

Her eyes were pitch-black without a hint of white, empty as if they were two bottomless abysses.

“A mere clone dares to try to devour its master!”

The white-armored woman’s voice was calm, but it sounded like a divine decree. The space that had been shaking violently seemed to show signs of calming down.
