Chapter 475: Chapter 349: Disturbing the Demon Palace – Lu Shan’s Departure
A ray of green light flickered in the storm area. The Blood Tree suddenly phantomed from the ground. Immediately afterwards, the ground was turned into a hollow layer completely entwined by tree roots. These roots, which were green mixed with lineage of blood, shot out of the ground in an instant, binding the Ancient Wind Spirit that was able to hover, and then forcefully yanked the Ancient Wind Spirit underground.
The Tenth Rank storm elf hovering similarly. When the trap suddenly appeared, it showed a 1-second bafflement, then reacted quickly. Immediately, it began to chant a spell, intending to use the power of the gale to shred these roots into pieces!
This Storm Spirit was already in the trap, how could the Demon Tree Warriors possibly give it the chance to release its skills? Quickly, the Demon Tree Warriors immobilised this Tenth Rank Storm Sprite, pulling it together with the Ancient Wind Spirit below the ground, twenty meters deep!
“Huh!!! Huh!!!!!”
The Ancient Wind Sprite realising it had been schemed against, issued a piercing call for help, intending to summon its companions.
The surrounding Tenth Rank Storm Elves were all guardians of this Ancient Wind Sprite. The existence of the Ancient Wind Sprite was what truly maintained these storm areas and propped up this huge Wind Elf race. After the Ancient Wind Spirit called for help, another ten Storm Sprites’ eyes immediately turned furious. They drifted toward the location of the trap one by one, beginning to chant in clusters around them!
“Mo Ye, deal with the Tenth Rank Storm Spirit. Let the Demon Tree Warrior lead the way, Ghost Dome King, block the passage, don’t let those wind-type skills roll over!” In one breath, Chu Mu issued commands to his three soul pets.
Underneath the ground, with the landscape advantage being lost, the Tenth Rank Storm Spirit’s combat power surely dropped two to three-tenths, and any wind skill’s power, obstructed by the thick rocks, was less than half of the original, under these circumstances, Mo Ye handling a Tenth Rank Storm Sprites alone was absolutely not a problem.
Mo Ye’s attack power had always been strong, and with the aid of the Ghost Dome King, Mo Ye himself wouldn’t be obstructed by these layers of rock at all, able to exhibit one hundred percent of his power.
The defense power of wind soul pets was inherently not very strong. When they can’t send their opponents far away, that’s the time they aren’t far from death.
“Crown Flame Claw!” The sharp claw blade scraped past the body of the Tenth Rank Storm Sprite. Two different types of flames infiltrated the body of the Storm Sprite at the same time, beginning to burn the sprite’s body.
The Tenth Rank Storm Sprite let out an angry cry. The black Chaos Wind on its body rapidly spun, with the storm sprite’s spell, it transformed into a manic spread of energy that grounded the surrounding rock layers into pieces, attempting to destroy the entire rocky layer into fragments!
Mo Ye was also very clever. As soon as the Storm Sprite released its skills, it decisively retreated backwards, protected by the Ghost Dome King, it retreated into the depths of the layers of rock, only when the power of the Storm Sprite’s skills weakened did it fiercely dart out from the rock layers, launching another attack onto the Storm Spirit.
Mo Ye had already reached the Eighth Rank Third Stage, its combat power was enough to match a Ninth Rank Commander, the Storm Sprite’s defense power was inherently fragile, where could it possibly bear Mo Ye’s repeated attacks!
Soon, under Mo Ye’s blade-like claws, this wailing Storm Sprite slowly disintegrated within the rocky ground, turning into a ball of meaningless chaotic wind, the wind soul’s core completely left its body, falling onto the ground.
Mo Ye, understanding people well, knew about Chu Mu’s lack of funds, also, the soul core of this Tenth Rank Wind Sprite wasn’t cheap either. With a roll of its tail, the soul core was collected.
“Mo Ye, let’s go!” Chu Mu said to Mo Ye.
Behind Mo Ye, there were nine more Tenth Rank Storm Sprites, after these nine Storm Sprites had completely gathered, their skills were still extremely abnormal, enough to blow open the entire ground surface with their gale. Naturally, Chu Mu also realised this and therefore didn’t let Mo Ye stick around for the battle.
The Ghost Dome King was behind, being the manipulator of the Rock Type, its intermediate Dark Crystal Rock played a crucial role at this time. The attacks of the nine Tenth Rank Storm Sprite’s skills were almost all kept at bay by the Ghost Dome King manipulating the rock layers.
The rock layers moved constantly under the control of the Ghost Dome King, firmly separating Chu Mu and the Tenth Rank Storm Sprites.
However, the destructive power of the Tenth Rank Storm Sprite’s skills was indeed astonishing. Even in these twenty-meter deep layers of rock, it was still blown open by the strong storm. This large area had almost all turned into a hollow layer. If the power was a bit stronger, perhaps the entire earth surface would have collapsed.
Chu Mu’s goal was very clear. As long as he could obtain this Ancient Wind Sprite, he would decisively flee, absolutely not wasting too much combat power on these several Tenth Rank Storm Sprites. After all, there was a long battle waiting after this bounty.
The speed at which the Demon Tree Warrior’s roots excavated the ground was still very fast. The Ghost Dome King’s defensive rear guard could just manage to keep up with the speed at which the Tenth Rank Storm Sprites broke open the rock layers.
Gradually, Chu Mu could clearly feel the sound of the rock layers shattering behind him becoming weaker and weaker, to the point where, at the end, he could only hear the sounds of the ground shaking.
“Young Master, we’ve got some distance from them. We can go to the surface. Otherwise, who knows how long it’ll take to get out of this storm area,” Li Elder opened his mouth to say.
However, Chu Mu shook his head and said, “These Tenth Rank Storm Sprites are very wise. I believe they must not be so foolish as to keep chasing under the ground. Perhaps, on the earth’s surface, a large group of storm sprites are already waiting for us.”
Previous lessons from Mo Ye had made Chu Mu realize that one should never measure the intelligence of Soul Pets by human standards. Many Soul Pets were incredibly cunning and difficult to deal with, especially these Tenth Rank Storm Spirit who had been living in this storm zone for who knows how many years!
In fact, just as Chu Mu had guessed, on the ground, almost all the Wind Spirits and Storm Elves were following the restless movement of the ground. One could say that they had surrounded the entire area, making it difficult for anyone or anything to pass. If Chu Mu dared to reveal even the slightest part of himself from underground, these angry guardians would undoubtedly punish him, the evil human, with their most powerful ninth-level wind skills.
“Hoo Hoo”
There were at least thirty of the Tenth Rank Wind Spirit, along with about twelve of the Tenth Rank Storm Spirits, including the previous nine. Although the number of Soul Pets wasn’t many, each one of them was extremely formidable, and when together, they would bring about devastating power.
Chu Mu was patient indeed. Chu Mu had already endured a whole day in the twenty-meter underground before he made his move when the Ancient Wind Spirit walked into the trap of the Demon Tree Warrior.
This time, having taken away the Ancient Wind Spirit, Chu Mu was again extremely patient. He just stayed underground, moving at an extremely slow speed, a little farther away from the storm zone. Until he entered a safe place, he absolutely would not go to the surface.
To be on the safe side, Chu Mu even had the Demon Tree Warrior’s roots continue to dig deeper to prevent the Soul Pets of the Wind Spirit Clan from concentrating their power to overturn the entire ground surface.
The situation Chu Mu was worried about did not occur. Wind power could indeed overturn several layers of the surface when sweeping through, but it was almost impossible to penetrate into the rock layer thirty meters below.
“Have you noticed anything?” Officer Lu asked, his face extremely gloomy.
On the vast wasteland, Officer Lu and his three Soul Pet Masters were fighting their respective enemies alongside their four Soul Pets.
This time, the team headed by Officer Lu was hunting a relatively ancient Different Race Soul Pet. The Soul Crystal of this Soul Pet was most suitable for Officer Lu’s Blue Nightmare Demon.
Officer Lu’s Blue Nightmare Demon was already an Intermediate Monarch. Even when faced with a White Nightmare Demon, this powerful Blue Nightmare Demon may not lose.
This hunting of Tenth Rank Different Race commander was aimed at triggering the metamorphosis of his Eighth Rank Ninth Stage Blue Nightmare Demon into the Ninth Rank.
The World Decree was around the corner. Although Officer Lu’s current strength seldom had competitors, he didn’t limit his ambition to merely the second-tier. To become stronger, he consistently challenged his limits, so he could stand out in The World Decree.
The hunting of the Tenth Rank Different Race Commander was a key step in increasing his strength. Officer Lu was aware of the strength of this Soul Pet, so he had been extremely careful in this plan all the time.
Yesterday, Officer Lu noticed something unusual in the northern storm zone. Out of caution, he specifically cancelled yesterday’s hunting plan to wait for a day quietly. After confirming that there was no abnormality in the north, he took action.
However, just as the battle turned in his favor and he was about to get the Inner Organ Crystal of the Tenth Rank Different Race Soul Pet, something unusual happened!
“Sir… There’s a very huge wind energy from the north coming toward us, what should we do?” A member of the Demon Palace said, his brows furrowed.
“Hmm, it seems someone is deliberately plotting against us!” Officer Lu snorted coldly.
Officer Lu had previously noticed something wrong with the abnormalities in the northern storm region, and he had waited an extra day for this reason. It was not easy for everything to quiet down, but the opponent appeared again just when he was about to obtain the innards of the different race creature. It was blatantly stirring up trouble!
“Such audacity to interfere with the affairs of Officer Lu from Nightmare Demon Palace!” The Soul Pet Master with the birthmark on his face glared viciously around, trying to find the culprit who came to snatch the treasure!
Officer Lu also watched the movements in the north with a cold smile. However, when he noticed that the wind energy in the north was becoming increasingly dense and was getting closer, his face began to change!
Predicting trouble was one thing, but Officer Lu had never thought that it would be the Tenth Rank Wind Spirits and Storm Spirits from the entire storm zone that were gradually approaching. The strength they could bring together would be terrifying!! (To be continued. If you like this novel, you are welcome to vote for a recommendation, and monthly ticket on Boxnovel (boxnovel.com).
