Chapter 19: Chapter 19: Tearing Apart the Hundred-Eyed Palm
Translator: 549690339
Chu Mu really wanted to find an opportunity to kill Zhou Shengmo, after all, an ambush had a greater chance of success than a formal duel, but there had never been an opportunity. And now there were two other people beside him, so Chu Mu couldn’t act rashly.
The voices of the three people grew fainter and fainter, and their figures gradually disappeared into the forest. Chu Mu watched them leave before revealing himself from behind the tree. After contemplating for a moment, he continued towards the location of the Jade Dew Mushroom.
In order to maintain his combat power, Chu Mu deliberately avoided encountering any Soul Pets on the way. Following the marks he had left behind, he found the Jade Dew Mushroom hidden under a dozen or so lush trees and the Hundred-Eyed Palm next to it about half an hour later.
The leaves of the Hundred-Eyed Palm were large and thick, like layers of plantain leaves combined, with many eye-like patterns on them, lifelike.
“The leaves of the Hundred-Eyed Palm should have a Second-Level Skin Layer, and the skin layer of the leaves must be very hard. Your main attack should be on its roots.” Chu Mu warned Little MO Xie.
Smart Little MO Xie nodded, its silver eyes staring at the Hundred-Eyed Palm with hundreds of eyes.
For the past two months, Chu Mu had been feeding MO Ye Beast Attribute Soul Cores, and now Little MO Ye’s claws had become even sharper.
“Begin the battle!” Little MO Xie’s movements were still very agile, climbing twenty-meter-high trees with ease. It ran to the end of a branch, stepped on it, and dashed through the green leaves.
“Whoosh!” The sharp claws suddenly stretched out from its flesh pads, and a few leaves were immediately cut in half!
With a flash of cold light, MO Xie quickly fell, its claws ready to strike, agilely bypassing the large leaves of the Hundred-Eyed Palm and slashing directly at the roots!
Tearing Claw! MO Xie’s Tearing Claw had grown more proficient, and its movements were smooth, rapid, and neat!
The Hundred-Eyed Palm immediately lowered its leaves like a shield, blocking MO Xie’s attack and protecting its vulnerable roots!
“Swoosh!” The Tearing Claw tore through the leaves of the Hundred-Eyed Palm, and deep marks quickly appeared on the shield-like leaves, extending from the center to the edge, as thick sap flowed from the wound!
This 8th stage Hundred-Eyed Palm had already developed three shield-like leaves. After MO Xie had injured one of them, it swiftly twisted its roots, spiraling like a propeller, turning the three leaves into sharp blades, slicing through the air!
“Three-Petal Blade, MO Xie, maintain a distance of five meters!” Chu Mu immediately issued a command.
MO Xie landed lightly, and with a quick jump, it agilely leaped twice, instantly jumping five meters away. In mid-air, its body turned, and after landing, its claws slid across the ground for some distance, its skull half-hidden, its pair of silver pupils calmly fixed on the Hundred-Eyed Palm.
“Whirling! ”
With the twisting of the roots of the Hundred-Eyed Palm, the Three-Petal Blade stirred, its leaves as sharp as blades, spinning rapidly, stirring up chaotic airflow, and the surrounding branches, trunks, and weeds were flying all around!
As the roots of the Hundred-Eyed Palm twisted, the range of the Three-Petal Blade’s stirring extended to four meters outside, and within these four meters, even a tree fell under the power of this attack!
The Hundred-Eyed Palm’s Three-Petal Blade lasted for a while, and as its stems and leaves swayed, the skill gradually slowed down. “Take advantage of it now!” Chu Mu had a good grasp of the timing, issuing a command the moment the Three-Petal Blade ended its attack.
MO Xie received the command, swiftly darting out, lightning-fast, and its sharp claws stretched out suddenly, taking a bizarre lightning trajectory, releasing another Tearing Claw!
“Swoosh-swoosh!” Left and right crossed, MO Xie’s double claws very accurately attacked the roots of the Hundred-Eyed Palm, and the roots immediately appeared noticeably fractured!
“Be careful of its Hundred Eyes Poison Needle!” Chu Mu glanced at the semi-broken eyes pattern of the Hundred -Eyed Palm and quickly reminded him.
Sure enough, when the Hundred-Eyed Palm was about to collapse, the eyes on the three shield-like leaves suddenly opened, and a series of black needle-like objects appeared rapidly!
Hundreds of Poison Needles from the Hundred-Eyed Palm locked onto MO Xie, with the Poison Needles from the first leaf shooting out first, densely packed and deadly sharp!
“Plop-plop-plop-plop!”
MO Xie leaped backward, and in an instant, all the Poison Needles were nailed to the spot where it had just stood, peppering the ground with holes!
The second leaf suddenly sprayed another volley. Little MO Xie grabbed onto the tree trunk with its claws and swiftly climbed up. The series of Poison Needles shot upwards, almost nailing itself to MO Xie’s beautiful tail, row after row, neat and tidy!
“Creak! ”
This tree was very fragile and finally fell after being pierced by Poison Needles, emitting a crisp sound.
The third leaf had the most Poison Needles, and the area within ten meters was now empty, leaving MO Xie completely exposed under the attack range of the Hundred-Eyed Palm.
“Plop-plop-plop-plop-plop -plop-plop!”
Hundreds of Poison Needles swept past, like torrential rain, furiously striking!
“Moon Shadow.”
MO Xie appeared to stand still, but a faint shadow appeared around its exquisite body…
All of the Poison Needles pierced through MO Xie’s faint shadow, passing through like it was mist, without any hindrance, flying towards the distant bushes!
Moon Shadow was Moonlight Fox’s dodge skill, which could be cast even without moonlight, only that the effect would be somewhat diminished.
Of course, if mastered well, even without moonlight, Moon Shadow could still easily dodge many powerful and piercing attacks.
Little MO Xie had mastered Moon Shadow when it was at the first stage, and by now, it had reached the late-stage level of this skill. Even without moonlight, dodging an attack of this level was not a problem.
“Good, finish it off!” Chu Mu’s smile emerged.
Little MO Xie’s figure gradually became real again. Its body crouched down, darting out quickly. Without using any skills, its sharp claws swept directly across the leaves of the Hundred-Eyed Palm!
The body of the Hundred-Eyed Palm was already bent, and MO Xie swept its claws, completely separating the rootstalks and leaves and sending them flying!
The most vulnerable part of the Hundred-Eyed Palm was its leaves, and Little MO Xie’s final blow easily tore them apart. With its support gone, the Hundred-Eyed Palm finally fell and gradually lost its signs of life…
Chu Mu jumped down from the tree, gazing at the corpse of the Hundred-Eyed
Palm, stroking MO Xie’s fur, and smilingly said, “Go and extract its Soul Core..”
