"Are you sure that demonic beast is nearby?" Zhu Yao nudged the man who was as sturdy as a mountain.
"Why would I lie to you!?" Zhonggu Lu glared at her. "There's poisonous gas swirling in front, so there's definitely something poisonous inside. Who else could it be other than that magical beast? "
"But we've been squatting here for three hours, and we still haven't seen that magical beast come out. Should we go in and take a look? "
"No." Zhonggu Lu immediately shook his head.
"Why?" At least it was better than growing grass here.
"I heard that the poison is extremely powerful. If you happen to be discovered, it's fine if you get hurt, but if a beautiful woman like me gets hurt, will you take responsibility?"
"…" She felt that she had been mentally contaminated. You're already like a flower, what's there to be beautiful about!
"Sigh, you should know that a handsome man like me always has a lot of worries. You don't understand. "
"…" Please swallow back the words' Peerless Magnificence '! She really wanted to know where his confidence came from.
"There's movement!" His expression changed, and he pointed at the fog in front of him. "It's coming!"
Zhu Yao instantly stuffed back her three views. After taking a closer look, as expected, a pitch-black figure had appeared within the dense fog formed by layers of poisonous gas. She could even faintly hear the sound of heavy breathing. The poisonous mist seemed to have thickened.
After a while, the shadow grew larger and larger, and a strong rotting smell wafted over. The shadow also became clearer and clearer until a rough outline could be seen.
The corner of Zhu Yao's lips twitched. "This … Is this the cow-like demonic beast that Captain Nangong drew?" Just how in the world did he draw a two-legged creature into a four-legged one?
"It should be." Zhonggu Lu nodded, and then corrected him. "Although it's a little different from the painting, it still bears some resemblance to that pig."
How is it similar? Zhu Yao pointed at the demonic beast which was currently breathing out poisonous gas. "How does that two-legged creature look like a pig?"
"Their figures are so similar. Dongfang girl, your eyesight is bad."
You're the one with bad eyesight. Your whole family has bad eyesight.
"There are hands and feet over there. It's clearly …"
"It's a dog!" A cold affirmation came from behind.
"Master, why are you here?" Zhu Yao was startled. He was not in the same team as Squad Captain Nangong. Did he go to the other side to scout out the terrain?
"I was worried about you." Yu Yan casually pulled his disciple into his arms. There was not the slightest hint of guilt on his face for acting without authorization. What if his disciple courted death again without watching? He glanced at the black figure in front of him. "It's a dog!"
"…"
"What's with your eyes?" Zhonggu Lu rolled his eyes. "It's obviously a pig."
"No, it's the dog."
"Definitely a pig."
"Isn't that supposed to be a sheep?" Another voice chimed in.
Yue Ying … The corner of Zhu Yao's lips twitched. Why was he here as well? What happened to splitting up?
Zhonggu Lu: "You guys believe me. It's a pig. "
Yu Yan: "A dog."
| Yue Ying: "Sheep …"
Zhu Yao: "…" She was the only one who was concerned. Was student Nangong currently alone?
Roar ~ ~ ~
A loud roar interrupted their argument. A huge cloud of poisonous gas sprayed towards the place where the four of them were hiding.
"F * ck. We've been discovered. "Zhonggu Lu's expression changed as he retreated in a flash." Retreat! "
Yu Yan hugged his own disciple, and stood together with Yue Ying. At the same time, they retreated several dozen meters. When they looked at the place where they were hiding earlier, the bushes had already begun to wither and turn yellow. They were dyed with layers of black, and there were no longer any signs of life.
And that poisonous gas. It was beginning to spread towards them at an extremely fast speed. That terrifying roar grew even louder.
"Let's go!" Zhonggu Lu loudly shouted. "To the Purifying Pool."
The moment his voice fell, a black object broke through the mist and flew towards him.
"Careful!" Zhu Yao reminded. Zhonggu Lu summoned a defensive barrier in time, but it was completely useless. That black object directly passed through the barrier. Fortunately, he was nimble and dodged to the side. The moment that black object brushed past him, it crashed onto the ground with a loud boom. A large crater was instantly formed, and it continued to expand, corroding everything in the surroundings. The rotten stench in the air grew thicker. Zhu Yao was dumbfounded as well. This was basically a biological weapon, right?
Zhonggu Lu's body was brushed by it as well. In an instant, his mystic robe began to melt. He hurriedly took it off to prevent it from melting as well.
What a powerful corrosive power. It was able to create such a large hole in an instant. It was no wonder Squad Captain Nangong said that they would die if they touched it. If even their corpses and bones were to melt, wouldn't they die?
Poisonous gas began to emit from the surroundings of the large crater as well. They had no choice but to circle around it. The roar of that demonic beast once again resounded from behind. In an instant, that black poisonous gas from earlier came crashing down towards them like rain.
"Hurry and dodge!" Zhonggu Lu loudly reminded. The four of them did not have the time to run either. They had no choice but to fly while dodging those raindrop-like poisonous gas. It was as though a meteor shower had fallen on the ground, as craters appeared one after another. The poisonous gas in the craters increased, and in just an instant, a large poisonous mist was formed.
They had no choice but to stop. "What do we do? We can't get out! "
The demonic beast at the back had caught up to them as well. A gigantic figure stepped out from the poisonous mist. It had a sturdy figure, a pair of horns on its head, and four dog-like claws. Two of them were raised, while the other two were on the ground. There were even two long fangs by the side of its mouth. Its entire body was purple in color, and black liquid would occasionally flow out from its body. The stench was overwhelming, and it looked extremely disgusting.
This demonic beast was neither cow, sheep, pig, nor dog. If it were to put its front hooves down, it would actually look exactly the same as the creature that Squad Captain Nangong had drawn.
Everyone: "…" So it wasn't that student Nangong's drawing wasn't realistic, it was that this demonic beast looked too abstract.
The surrounding poisonous gas was growing thicker. Since they couldn't get out, they had no choice but to fight!
Zhonggu Lu made a hand seal with his two hands and instantly summoned over a hundred vines, which he sent towards the demonic beast. Zhu Yao immediately materialized countless icicles as well, and they shot towards that demonic beast at the same time. That odd-looking demonic beast did not even try to dodge. It simply widened its bloody mouth and let out an extremely ear-piercing roar.
The vines that were still green earlier instantly withered and turned into ashes, while the icicles that filled the sky instantly turned into water as well. Being tainted by the poisonous gas, they turned into poisonous rain and fell down. Yu Yan immediately cast an art to summon a fire dragon, and the sky filled with fiery light charged into the skies. The fiery light that filled the sky soared into the sky, burning the poisonous rain dry in time.
Initially, they thought that there wouldn't be any problems, but their physics teacher told them that when water encounters fire, it will turn into … water vapor! And in front of this poisonous demonic beast, it was even more unfortunate, as it turned into water vapor.
That's right, the poisonous mist had grown thicker.
The area that the four of them could move in grew smaller and smaller. In just a few moments, they were only left with a circumference of a few meters. They were no longer in the poisonous mist. That demonic beast, however, suddenly opened its mouth wide, and black light flashed within. It looked as though it was about to spit something out. Without even thinking, they knew that it was definitely the poisonous liquid that had smashed the ground earlier.
What should they do? Ice, fire, and wood elemental attacks were all useless. This demonic beast's magic defense was simply too high.
Yu Yan's expression sank. With a twist of his hand, he summoned his Life Origin Lightning Sword.
"Master …" Zhu Yao's heart clenched. If he were to use lightning-type arts, their identities would be exposed.
"No worries." Yu Yan stroked her head. There was no other way now. At the very most, it would just be a little troublesome in the future. Just as he was about to cast an art and attack, a hurricane suddenly swept over from the sky, instantly dispersing the poisonous gas surrounding them. Student Nangong, who was "left" behind, was currently standing in the middle of the hurricane. He came to save them. As expected, he's a good teammate that moved China!
"Hurry and leave!" He only managed to say a single sentence, and the surrounding poisonous gas had already begun to gather.
The four of them immediately chased after him with their quickest speed. While using wind-type arts to disperse the poisonous mist, they madly flew in the direction of the Purifying Pool. Behind them, the furious roars of that demonic beast could be heard. They did not dare to stop, as they flew straight towards the Purifying Pool. Initially, they thought that the demonic beast would not chase after them, but with a few swooshing sounds, the black poisonous liquid that filled the sky instantly sprayed towards the five-man squad.
The moment the poisonous liquid landed on the ground, the few of them flew to the side of the Purifying Pool. With a few rumbling sounds, the ground was once again filled with holes, and poisonous gas was being emitted from them. Strangely, within a radius of a dozen meters around the Purifying Pool, the poisonous gas had instantly dispersed.
However, the poisonous gas outside the Purifying Pool was growing thicker, and not even a moment later, the figure of that demonic beast appeared. However, it did not approach them, and simply paced back and forth several dozen meters away.
"What's going on?" Zhu Yao pointed to that demonic beast, and looked towards student Nangong. "Didn't you say that it wouldn't follow us?"
"I don't know either." Nangong had a confused look as well. "The last time we were here, indeed, the demonic beast had returned the moment we arrived at this pool. No matter how we lured it, it never came over. Today … it's probably in a good mood. "
"…" This reason was a little too nonsensical, wasn't it!?
"It just so happens that the Purifying Pool is here. Let's take this opportunity to take it down." Squad Captain Nangong's eyes shone as he said. "This is a heaven-sent opportunity."
He studied the terrain for a moment, and said. "Though this poisonous gas is powerful, it can still be dispersed by wind-type mystic arts. Adding that we all have divine physiques, even if we are stuck with the poisonous gas, it shouldn't be a problem for us to last a few minutes inside. Furthermore, this pool water can instantly disperse the poisonous gas. We can use wind-type mystic arts as a shield, and take turns to lure the demonic beast out, while taking turns to come in and dispel the poison. As long as we aren't injured by the poisonous gas, it isn't impossible to slowly defeat this demonic beast. What do you guys think? "
Was this the meaning of switching tanks? It was indeed a good idea. Everyone pondered for a moment, before nodding their heads.
"Then it's decided." Squad Captain Nangong looked at the demonic beast that was still pacing back and forth outside. Casting a wind shield mystic art, his entire body was instantly enveloped by spiral-like winds, and he was the first to charge out.
Just as she was about to cast an art, a wind shield had already wrapped around her body. Turning around, she glanced at a certain someone who had just put down his hand. "Master?"
"Don't stray too far from your master." He instructed, and then, he had already flown up.
Zhu Yao instantly felt warmth in her heart. Who said that "warmth" was useless?
Though Squad Captain Nangong's battle plan was perfect, it could not withstand the boss' thick skin and thick flesh. Furthermore, the various mystic arts they had used earlier, were completely ineffective against this demonic beast. Hence, though the five of them were not injured, they did not gain any advantage either.
Squad Captain Nangong seemed to be very proficient in wind-type mystic arts, but he could only disperse the fog. When the wind blades landed on the opponent's body, a bunch of 'misses' floated up, and they did not possess any killing power. Furthermore, it wasn't convenient for her and her master to directly use lightning-type mystic arts either. Fortunately, her master's sword arts were top-notch as well. Summoning spiritual swords that filled the sky, he was able to firmly lock down the demonic beast's movements. Furthermore, the biting cold sword aura was also the only thing that could cut through the opponent. He became the party's main attacker.
Zhu Yao knew all five types of mystic arts, but other than lightning, she was most familiar with water and ice. Back then, when she was teaching little radish, she had deeply researched them. However, this demonic beast was not afraid at all. When the icicles landed on its body, not even a scratch was left behind, and 'misses' constantly floated up above its head.
Zhonggu Lu was even more unlucky. His wood mystic arts had basically withered before they could even take form, leaving behind a pile of rotten grass. Yue Ying was still able to help out a little, as he restrained the demonic beast from the left and right with his master. He retracted all of the devillic energy in his body, and simply used mystic arts to attack like the others. Zhu Yao did not know what he was thinking, and did not want to bother about it either, allowing him to do as he pleased.
"You guys hold on, I'll catch my breath." Zhonggu Lu turned around and returned to the Purifying Pool to detoxify his poison. His face was ashen, and as he walked, he said. "This demonic beast, seriously. It seems like it was born to be my nemesis. It instantly extinguished the life force of my wood mystic arts."
Life force? Zhu Yao was startled for a moment, as something flashed past her mind. Raising her head, she carefully looked at that demonic beast. Ever since she entered the tower, every living being would have their names and levels above their heads. It was as though she had switched to an online game's perspective. She had asked her master before, and she seemed to be the only one who could see this. Zhu Yao had always thought that it was a cheat given to her by Realmspirit. Naturally, this demonic beast was no exception. A few words floated above its head as well: Early-stage demonic beast (Poison). However, its name was red.
As for Zhonggu Lu and Squad Captain Nangong, the words above their heads were: Unknown Deity (Level 1). After they introduced themselves, the words above their heads turned into their own names, and the words changed from yellow to blue.
In the beginning, Zhu Yao did not pay too much attention to these words. Now that she thought about it, these names were really the same as the settings in online games. Red names indicated that they were hostile targets, just like the demonic beasts right now. Yellow names indicated that they would passively attack their targets, and only after attacking them would they turn into red names and retaliate. Just like that heaven-defying rabbit on the plains back then, it only managed to chase after them after she poked it. Initially, it did not take the initiative to bite her. And the reason why Zhonggu Lu and Nangong Cheng's names were blue, was because they had formed a party with her! Only the names of teammates in the same party would be shown in blue.
If that was the case, the brackets behind the names should be showing their levels and attributes.
This demonic beast belonged to the poison attribute. According to the rules of online games, poison was the attribute that could deprive life force. Hence, the three attributes of water, wood, and fire were completely useless against it. It was very normal for her icicles to miss when they struck it.
If she wanted to deal with it, then she could only …
Zhu Yao immediately flew towards the party captain. She had to report the strategy to him. "Captain …" Eh? What was the party captain's name again? "Nangong … Huang?"
"I'm called Nangong Cheng!" Flips table! The hell is Nangong Huang?
"Aiya! Whatever, in any case, they're pretty much the same. "
"…" How were Cheng and Huang similar? Even their colors were different, alright?
