Chapter 369: Chapter 245 Demon Tree, Fighting Ten with One (Part 1)

Translator: 549690339

Lightning streaked like flood dragons through the dense curtain of rain, casting an eerie pallor over the city.

The torrential rain washed over the streets, filled with floodwater. Within a hundred-meter radius, household belongings could be seen floating into courtyards and gathering chaotically in the dead corners of the streets.

Ye Qingzi’s Water Moon had a significant mastery of water control. In just ten short minutes, the water had risen to the knees of the Night Thunder Dream Beast. Most likely, the sewers below were already filled with water as well.

Suddenly, the Night Thunder Dream Beast let out a cry, its eyes tightly focused on the other well entrances as if sensing something.

“Qingzi, be careful, something is coming out,” Chu Mu warned Ye Qingzi.

Ye Qingzi nodded and slowly began to chant a spell to summon her strongest Battle Court Black Beast to her side while having the Purple Robe Dream Beast lay a Black Night Dream realm around her.

Chu Mu also started chanting a spell to summon his Ice-Feathered Spirit and Demon Tree Warrior to his side.

As the Ice-Feathered Spirit appeared, the cold ice around it began to spread rapidly, freezing the surrounding water into ice crystals. If it were not for Chu Mu stopping the spread of the invisible ice cold aura from the Ice-Feathered Spirit…

The Demon Tree Warrior was not resentful of the water, standing with both feet in it, its roots reaching deep into the ground to sense the approach of other creatures through the vibrations on the ground.

“Pupu!!! Pupu pupu!!!!!”

They’ve appeared!

Several well entrances around them burst open, sending splashes of water shooting up to ten meters high. Water columns formed around Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi, causing the falling rainwater to be deflected!

Raindrops fell more impetuously, and Chu Mu wiped the water from his face, using his soul sense to lock onto the four creatures that had emerged from the underground passages.

The Night Thunder Dream Beast let out another cry, alerting Chu Mu to the presence of something wriggling behind him.

Chu Mu turned around and spotted six unusual ripples in the floodwaters, as if something was rapidly approaching!

“About ten are coming at me, Qingzi, how many do you have?” Chu Mu quickly assessed the number of beasts attacking him.

“It looks like fifteen.” Ye Qingzi’s Purple Robe Dream Beast was already at the Seventh-rank 5th Stage, so its sensing ability was not much weaker than the Night Thunder Dream Beast’s.

“These creatures are about as strong as a Seventh Rank Demon Spirit Commander and have high aggressiveness. They’re not easy to deal with. I’ll have my Ice-Feathered Spirit help you.”

“Alright, you be careful too.”

As the spell was cast, the quick-reacting Ice-Feathered Spirit had already locked onto the other seven Li City Evil Creatures hiding in the floodwaters, which were streaking towards Ye Qingzi’s Soul Pets. The Ice-Feathered Spirit’s skills were released beside Ye Qingzi.

Ice Crystal Seal!

Cold air overflowed, and the Ice-Feathered Spirit frantically infused its ice crystals into the floodwaters. The originally flowing water began to slow down due to the invasion of cold air, gradually freezing from the outer layer to the deeper layers!

The ice seal spread in a fan shape from Ye Qingzi’s position towards the seven hidden Li City Evil Creatures. These six Li City Evil Creatures seemed to feel the powerful ice energy and abruptly leaped out of the water!

Li City Evil Creatures all possessed the ability to hide themselves and did not easily reveal their forms even during battle. Due to the cover of rainwater, their silhouettes could only be vaguely seen through the curtain of rain.

Small and sharp skulls, long and thin bodies, short and well-developed hind limbs, and long and slender forelimbs – the moment the lightning flashed across the night sky, Chu Mu saw these creatures had no hair, only a smooth layer of skin with very few wrinkles. Oddly enough, there was a layer of liquid secretion on top of this skin, forming a unique keratin layer that allowed them to hide their bodies in the darkness.

“Protect her,” Chu Mu saw that most of the Li City Evil Creatures were lunging towards Ye Qingzi, so he decisively sent the Ice-Feathered Spirit to Ye Qingzi’s side to protect her.

“Demon Tree, I’ll leave these to you,” Chu Mu glanced at the ten Li City Evil Creatures swiftly approaching him and spoke to the Demon Tree Warrior.

The Demon Tree Warrior had just completed its Strengthening and was eager to exhibit its prowess. Its eighty Advanced Demon Wood roots had already been buried underground, and the water-filled streets did not hinder its battle at all. As the six Li City Evil Creatures attempting to attack from below the water drew closer, the Advanced Demon Wood roots suddenly launched an attack!

“Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!”

Eighty densely-packed Advanced Demon Wood roots pierced through the air, forcing the six Li City Evil Creatures to leap out of the water!

“Boom”

An awe-inspiring bolt of lightning struck down from the curtain of rain, casting pale light on the frightening claws of the evil creatures, highlighting their long arms and the extremely sharp poisoned claws!

“Demon Wood Spear!”

As the Demon Tree Warrior swung its arm, six sharp demon wood spears, akin to long spears, appeared in front of it. Under the Demon Tree Warrior’s control, the spears shot towards the six Li City Evil Creatures in mid-air!

“Whoooosh! Whoooosh! Whoooosh!”

The claws of the Li City evil creatures were incredibly sharp, cutting straight through the Demon Tree Warrior’s demonic wooden cones in one strike!

After they touched the ground, these creatures swiftly rushed past the Demon Tree Warrior!

“Whoooosh!” Six distinct claw marks appeared in a flash on the Demon Tree Warrior’s body, incredibly fast and impossible to dodge!

Chu Mu, too, was taken aback, continuously using his soul sense to lock onto these fast-moving creatures so as to command the Demon Tree Warrior’s attacks.

Fortunately, the Demon Tree Warrior’s defense had reached the Seventh Level Final Phase, and the six strikes from these creatures hadn’t reached the Eighth Level, unable to inflict real damage on the Demon Tree Warrior. Despite receiving several consecutive attacks, the Demon Tree Warrior’s combat power wasn’t greatly affected.

The Demon Tree Warrior quickly transitioned its advanced demonic wood from piercing to entangling state. Transforming into green snakes, they splashed through the pooled water, chasing after the swiftly moving Li City evil creatures!

“Lock onto the three in front!” Chu Mu commanded.

With eighty Demon Wood roots, the eighty green earth snakes completely locked onto three targets. Even with the swift speed of the Li City evil creatures, they would struggle to escape such an array of entanglements.

The heavy rain created the most beneficial conditions for Chu Mu’s battle. Within the curtain of rain, he could easily track the movements of these Li City evil creatures. As the eighty roots continuously emerged from the ground around the Demon Tree Warrior, the three Li City evil creatures attempting to escape were quickly caught and entangled by the Advanced Demon Wood.

“Ssssssssssss!”

These Li City evil creatures seemed to understand teamwork, as another three of them rushed towards their captured companions, frantically tearing at the Advanced Demonic Wood roots of the Demon Tree Warrior to free them.

Meanwhile, four more creatures stomped through the pooled water, charging towards the Demon Tree Warrior, using a Heavenly Splitting Claw imbued with extreme toxicity!

“Whoooosh! Whoooosh!”

Four poisonous claws tore through the curtain of rain, shredding the Demon Tree Warrior’s body into pieces. As these four Li City evil creatures landed and turned around, they saw the Demon Tree Warrior reduced to a pile of waste wood.

“Sssssssshsss!” The cruel laughter echoed, like a triumphant snicker after killing, as the four Li City evil creatures revealed their bloodthirsty and hideous faces. Their eyes watched Chu Mu’s next Soul Pet, intending to continue their slaughter…

Feeling the gaze of these creatures, Chu Mu sneered.

In the eyes of these four creatures, the Demon Tree Warrior was already dead. However, in Chu Mu’s eyes, the Demon Tree Warrior remained unscathed because these four creatures had fallen into the Dream Trap set up by his Dark Night Pet Night Thunder Dream Beast!

“Piercing Branch!”

“Whooosh!”

Two long arms shot out, striking two of the Li City evil creatures trapped in the Dream Trap with great precision!

“Pfft! Pfft!”

Fresh blood sprayed from the chests of the two Li City evil creatures, mixing with the rainwater. As they released painful screams, they frantically slashed at the two Piercing Branches embedded in their bodies with their claws.

Life Siphon!!

Visible tremors ran down the Demon Tree Warrior’s Piercing Branches as a tremendous amount of life energy began pouring into the Demon Tree Warrior’s body!

With both Li City evil creatures being drained simultaneously, the Demon Tree Warrior’s rate of recovery jumped to 20% per second. The wounds it had previously sustained were instantly healed!

In contrast, the two Li City evil creatures were unable to sever the Demon Tree Warrior’s Advanced Demon Wood Piercing Branches in a short time, rapidly losing their life force. Their initially slender bodies became even more gaunt and emaciated!

“Ye, Dark Thunder!”

At Chu Mu’s command, arcs of electricity flickered between the unique Dream Horns of the Night Thunder Dream Beast!

In the midst of the thunderstorm, the Night Thunder Dream Beast’s thunder attributes increased by 30-40%, and the power of their thunder skills rose proportionally!

“Roar!”

With a long cry, the Night Thunder Dream Beast manipulated the thunderclouds, forcefully changing the direction of a lightning strike towards the two Li City evil creatures being drained of their life force!

Having already lost almost half of their lives, the two evil creatures were unable to dodge the terrifying lightning strike. They were directly turned into blackened pulp amid the lightning and the curtain of rain!

“Ssssssssssss!”

The two remaining Li City evil creatures witnessed their companions being killed and grew extremely furious!

They had already pounced in front of the Demon Tree Warrior while it was still draining their companion’s life force. Taking advantage of the moment, they turned their claws into two rapidly swirling sharp blades, furiously slicing the Demon Tree Warrior’s body.

The cold light intertwined, and the high-frequency attacks all landed on the Demon Tree Warrior’s Demon Wood Armor, creating distinct wounds in the armor.

However, the Demon Tree Warrior didn’t dodge, opting instead to release the advanced Demon Wood on its body, binding the two remaining Li City evil creatures tightly! (To be continued.
