Chapter 374: Chapter 250: Eliminating the Evil Creature (Part 1)

Although Chu Mu wanted to learn more about the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon’s situation, he knew that all the experts in Li City were watching it closely. Even if he knew the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon was here, he couldn’t make any moves and could only quietly observe. For now, he had to deal with the cruel Soul Pet Master who had an eye on the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon.

One day, after City official Li Gu adopted Ye Qingzi’s method, he deliberately went to the Soul Pet Palace to buy some cheap soul pets to throw in the West Street in order to confirm whether those creatures were still lurking there.

Late at night, the soul pets exiled to West Street let out screams and were quickly devoured by the hungry creatures.

On the third day, the city guards had silently brought their soul pets into the underground tunnels of the West Street District, blocking all the passages that might release fluids with the thick layers of rock-type soul pets.

The heavy rain had persisted for several days, and on the third day the rainfall had slightly decreased. However, this didn’t affect the city guard’s water attack plan as they had already hired many Soul Pet Masters who controlled water-type and water race soul pets.

The gray sky was a bit low, the drizzle washing the ancient city, filling it with a damp smell…

After several days of rain, the city was somewhat cleaner, and the water flowing into the sewers was not as murky as before. The sewage and waste accumulated in the sewers were also washed away.

There was no light in the sewer, and the complex structure of the city’s sewers made them like a damp and dark underground labyrinth, especially if it weren’t for the well entrances.

Of course, while the dark and underground passages were the dirtiest places for people, this unique environment was a paradise for gluttonous insect monsters.

If it weren’t for the rain, they could even hide in the city forever—with food above their heads and nests below.

As Chu Mu understood, the gluttonous insect monsters were servant beasts. Their lives depended on a mother’s energy to sustain, and once separated from the mother for too long, they would turn to a pile of black ash.

They lived in groups, hunting together, and it was rare to see a single gluttonous insect monster wandering around.

At this time, these gluttonous insect monsters were gathered in a horizontal passage, using their bodily fluids as comfortable bedding.

“I never want to deal with these things again in my life, they’re so disgusting I want to vomit,” said a thirty-year-old Soul Pet Master in the sewer with a disgusted look.

“I don’t either, who knows if they would eat us if they were hungry?” said a fat Soul Pet Master nearby.

However, the fat Soul Pet Master didn’t show any disgusting appearance, but instead casually ate a piece of dried meat while standing in the shit-filled sewer.

“If they were to eat, they would probably eat you first, your meat is all greasy,” the man said with a grin.

“Sir really has guts. If it weren’t for the fact that all those guys had their attention on the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon, I’m afraid the livestock raised by Sir would have been swept away by the experts in Li City,” said the fat Soul Pet Master.

“You don’t understand, Sir often does these things. Not to mention Li City, even in other Boundary Cities…” The man suddenly realized he shouldn’t say too much, paused, and immediately changed the topic: “Sir said we just need to watch them here for two days, right?”

“Yes, maybe he has found something already,” the fat Soul Pet Master replied.

The fat Soul Pet Master found that the disgusting secretion from the gluttonous insect monsters was increasing, gradually affecting his appetite, so he moved to the side.

“Whoosh~~ Whoosh~” The accumulated water soaked the fat Soul Pet Master’s shoes, emitting a slight sound of water with his steps.

“It’s strange, why did the water level rise again? Did the rain get heavier?” The fat Soul Pet Master complained as he moved to a dry spot.

“It might be, the smell seems to be getting worse. Nevermind, as long as we watch these things for two days, we can get on with our own matters.”

At noon, in the Central City West Street District, nearly two hundred elemental water-type soul pets and different water race soul pets from the Demon Beast World were stationed at the locations of the sewer entrances, waiting for the order to be issued.

Finally, a brilliant flame rose into the sky, reaching a height of several hundred meters before suddenly exploding amidst the rain curtain, instantly releasing dazzling light that dyed all the raindrops red…

“Begin!”

The Aerial Guard Team Leader, riding on a winged soul pet, called out loudly to the Soul Pet Masters below.

A series of clear and beautiful spell chants floated in the sky above the West Street District, as beautiful water-blue halos slowly covered the water-type soul pets in the street…

The blue water-type halo spread like a ripple through the streets, even reaching other parts of the Central City. Over two hundred soul pets gradually gathered most of the Central City’s rainwater to West Street, becoming like a lake suspended above West Street.

In about ten minutes, the entire West Street’s upper twenty meters space was filled with a large expanse of accumulated water, as if held by an invisible container in mid-air.

Ye Qingzi believed that if they were to flood the sewer, they couldn’t just let the water level rise slowly. That would only give the monsters an opportunity to take advantage. After all, with the strength of those ferocious creatures, breaking the walls of the sewer would not be a problem if they focused their power. Only by suddenly rushing water into the sewer and causing a torrent that sweeps them into disarray, giving them no chance to break the passage, would it be possible to catch them all in one fell swoop.

“Release!!”

Finally, when there was enough water, the power-type Soul Pets let out frenzied howls, and their large claws blasted open the narrow sewer well!

Rainwater in the sky had already formed a whole lake, and when the water-type soul pets used their psychic control, the accumulated rainwater in the sky-lake immediately turned into several stream paths of waterfall, pouring crazily into the opened underground gap.

“Rumble rumble rumble rumble rumble”

The sound of water was like thunder, pouring into the sewer and turning into countless ferocious beasts, wildly slamming the walls of the sewer, galloping through the sewer passage.

Water has the weakest attribute in all systems, but once it gains momentum, it’s the most terrifying force. Everything can be engulfed, everything can be destroyed!!

A vast amount of water poured in, and within a short minute, the huge space of the sewer was filled with the surging liquid. The rumbling sound made the entire underground world tremble.

“Did you hear anything?” The fat Soul Pet Master had a heightened sense of alert and quickly noticed something unusual happening in the sewer.

“It sounds like thunder. Maybe a thunderstorm struck above our heads?” The thirty-something Soul Pet Master didn’t pay much attention to it.

“Hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss”

At this moment, the Gluttonous Insect monsters that were sleeping in their own secreted fluids gradually opened their eyes.

Almost an entire passage in the sewer was covered by these one-layer-skinned creatures, and they were extremely densely packed. These creatures all had strong perceptions, and even though they were just sound asleep like a pile of corpses, they all woke up as soon as there was noise. Their eyes, glowing green in the darkness, surveyed their surroundings…

“Hiss hiss hiss hiss”

In the center of the passage, an enormous creature, occupying almost the entire space, raised its huge skull and lazily took big strides, intending to head outside.

This monster was clearly the leader of this group, and the smaller Gluttonous Insect monsters purposely made way for it.

“Rumble rumble rumble rumble rumble”

The noise grew louder and the underground passage began to shake noticeably. Some dust and debris were already falling from above.

Suddenly, this massive leader seemed to realize something, showing an extremely horrifying and distorted expression on its disgusting face.

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!!!!!”

Finally, water splashed at the corner of the passage. Following, a flood-like current surged toward the underground passage. In a mere second, it appeared right in front of the leader!

The creature’s face instantly turned panicked, and without a care for the Gluttonous Insect monsters hiding in their nests, it bolted away with its powerful limbs, madly racing towards the other side!

“Water… water…” The fat Soul Pet Master was also filled with horror. Before he could finish speaking, the splash of water fell on his body. In the next instant, he was knocked down by the torrent, without a chance to summon his Soul Pet.

Another Soul Pet Master realized even later. He didn’t even manage to chant a spell before he was completely swallowed by the flood, his body rolling endlessly in the raging waters.

Soon, the majestic torrent began to invade the nests of the Gluttonous Insect monsters. The hundreds of Gluttonous Insect monsters didn’t have time to escape. Both ends of the passage were already occupied by the terrifying flood that resembled a blue earth dragon, and the liquid began to seep into their nests.

“Hiss hiss hiss hiss”

The monsters immediately let out an extremely panicked scream, their bodies continuously secreting some semi-solid substance, blocking both sides of the passageway, preventing the flood from infiltrating.

The water seeped in very quickly, and within a few seconds, it had dampened half of the area. At this point, the frantic monsters had finally completed blocking off both sides, stopping the water from flooding the entire place.

“Rumble rumble rumble rumble”

The sound of water rolling on both sides continued. When they found that the water had been completely controlled and was no longer seeping into their nests, the hundreds of Gluttonous Insect monsters let out a hiss of relief, as if they were grateful to have narrowly escaped death.

Servant Beasts usually have lower intelligence than normal Soul Pets, so they didn’t even realize that even if they stopped the water from seeping in, they were already trapped in this extremely narrow passage.
