Chapter 375: Chapter 251: Eliminating the Evil Creature (Part 2)
Translator: 549690339
The water kept filling up, and because several drainages on West Street had been blocked, the speed of water pouring in was much faster than the water being drained. Soon, the entire sewer system in this area was submerged, leaving no space for air.
As the entire sewer was filled with fluid, the water level at the nest of the Gluttonous Insect monsters gradually rose to two-thirds.
This tunnel was not very long to begin with, and there were hundreds of Gluttonous Insect monsters gathered in it. With only two-thirds of the space left, these creatures were almost entirely hanging upside down on the upper walls. A few even used their long arms to grab their companions, their bodies already submerged in water.
“Plop”
One Gluttonous Insect monster lost its grip on a companion and accidentally slipped into the water, making a panic-stricken cry. It splashed the water with its limbs, causing water to spray all over.
The Gluttonous Insect monsters realized that the supply of air was gradually decreasing. When they saw their companion slowly sinking into the water, they all watched it struggle from the surface with indifferent expressions. None of them extended a helping hand, even though three Gluttonous Insect monsters could have easily saved it by lowering their tails a bit.
Gluttonous Insect monsters were not completely afraid of water. If they had enough strength, they could still swim in water, but they couldn’t breathe like water-type soul pets.
The splashing continued for a while, and the Gluttonous Insect monster that fell into the water gradually lost its strength and began to sink slowly…
Not long after submerging in the water, the Gluttonous Insect monster floated back to the surface. However, this time its limbs were facing upward, and its body showed signs of blackening like charcoal burning.
“Plop”
As the oxygen supply for these Gluttonous Insect monsters was getting shorter and shorter, some of the weaker monsters became very weak due to lack of oxygen and fell into the water from the upper wall.
They still struggled in the water, while their companions watched them with cold indifference. It wasn’t long before this group of weaker Gluttonous Insect monsters drowned and floated to the surface.
“Hiss hiss hiss hiss”
“Hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss si ”
No matter how low the intelligence of these Gluttonous Insect monsters, they could sense they were facing imminent death. These Gluttonous Insect monsters began to communicate, as if planning to escape from here.
The water level continued to rise, and soon nearly the entire tunnel was submerged. About fifty Gluttonous Insect monsters drowned, and the remaining ones were dizzy and disoriented, making panicked screams.
Finally, these creatures decided to flee. They knew that if they stayed here, death was certain.
“Whooosh”
All of the Gluttonous Insect monsters jumped into the water, using their recent knowledge of the sewer to select the closest well opening. They planned to try to swim there through their short underwater ability.
A total of seventy Gluttonous Insect monsters were left, swimming frantically towards the well opening with their limbs using the fastest speed.
The distance was not long, but not short either. For Gluttonous Insect monsters with stronger vitality, it was not a problem to swim there. However, those with slightly weaker vitality were bound to suffocate in the water.
Of the seventy Gluttonous Insect monsters swimming, at least thirty of them sank into the water midway, their bodies slowly turning with the slight current.
The remaining thirty-five Gluttonous Insect monsters, who could self-strengthen, finally reached the nearest well opening, but it was blocked by a thick layer of ice.
“Bang!!!”
“Bang!!!!!!!!!”
In order to survive, the Gluttonous Insect monsters began to slam against the thick ice layer frantically. Their strength was clearly weakened by the water, and they struggled to break the ice that they could have easily shattered before, only managing to leave a few cracks on it.
At every well opening on West Street, there were City Guards watching. Soon, three of them felt something hitting the ice layer.
As they chanted spells, the City Guards decisively sent a signal to the Aerial Guards, informing them of the situation.
“Team Leader, there’s something happening at the Cold Continuation Alley on West Street!”
The Aerial Guards were overlooking the entire area from the sky. As soon as the signal was sent, they immediately reported their positions to the team leaders. Soon enough, the team leaders issued orders to their teams, directing half of their forces towards the well opening at Cold Continuation Alley.
“Hahaha, this move indeed works, and has driven them out. Now all we have to do is clean up the remaining ones.” Sky City Official Li Gu laughed heartily.
Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi were standing on Dongqing’s Cliff Feather Bird, looking down at the majority of City Guards who were already heading towards Cold Continuation Alley with their soul pets.
“Sir Li, let those guarding the wellmouth not be transferred. Let them continue to guard their posts.” Chu Mu noticed that Li Gu was almost calling everyone there and reminded him.
“Right, that would be safer.” Li Gu nodded, issued the command for those guarding the wellmouths to stay in position.
Despite the hindrance of water, the Gluttonous Insect monsters had the strength of Seventh Rank Commander Level, and using their fellow monsters’ bodies as a foothold, they cast attack skills in the water, breaking an opening in the ten meters thick ice layer.
After opening the gap, the water level did not rise. The monsters soon became even more frenzied, penetrating the ten-meter-thick ice layer bit by bit, finally jumping out from the underground tunnel.
“Hiss hiss si hiss hiss si”
After the remaining thirty-five Gluttonous Insect monsters jumped out of the ice layer, they greedily breathed in air. If they stayed underground for another minute, they would have suffocated to death.
However, what could these monsters do even if they escaped from the underground tunnel? At least three hundred soul pets were surrounding them, watching them intently as they emerged one after another.
“Kill these bastards and avenge our brothers!” The City Guard Captain was furious as he saw the Gluttonous Insect monsters and shouted.
Spells were chanted, and at least two hundred of the three hundred City Guard Soul Pets were Elemental soul pets. When the spells were cast, various colored lights flashed dazzlingly!
Violent winds, blizzards, rocky mountains, flames, giant waves…
Various elemental skills were cast, and the thunderous sound shook the entire West Street district, causing surrounding buildings to shake violently!
Looking down from the sky, Chu Mu could see various energies exploding below, and the blast wave even reached a hundred meters in the sky, causing some shaking to the Cliff Feather Bird carrying the three of them.
The thirty-five Gluttonous Insect monsters, whose figures could be seen in the rain, were soon engulfed by those skills, their flesh and blood flying in the energy!
Soon, the twenty Gluttonous Insect monsters that jumped out were destroyed in the terrifying skills, with corpses everywhere, mixed with rainwater.
The remaining fifteen Gluttonous Insect monsters didn’t dare to jump out of the wellmouth, and they panicked and swam back into the water…
However, within a minute, they still turned into corpses, sinking slowly. They just died in a different way.
It took just a few minutes to kill the monsters, and then, a similar flame signal rose at Ancient Tung Lane.
“There’s another group. Young Master Chu’s consideration is really comprehensive,” Li Gu sighed, focusing on the flame in Ancient Tung Lane.
The Gluttonous Insect monsters had the ability to become invisible as long as there was no sunlight. If they jumped out of the wellmouths, they could definitely escape through their invisibility ability. Chu Mu also considered this point and asked Li Gu to have his subordinates guard each wellmouth.
“Whoosh!!!”
Suddenly, two more red flames exploded in the sky, in a direction across Ancient Tung Lane.
The smile on Li Gu’s face disappeared quickly, and he frowned, “Why are there so many?”
“Sir Li, let your subordinates go there. Leave the monsters in Ancient Tung Lane to the three of us,” Chu Mu said.
“You all be careful. If there are too many, send me a signal immediately, and I’ll be there as fast as I can,” City officer Li Gu nodded.
Chu Mu remembered that when he first encountered them, more than a hundred City Guards and several hundred Soul Pet Masters were killed without any information. The number of Gluttonous Insect monsters might be more than just hundreds.
Moreover, Chu Mu remembered that he couldn’t outrun the dozen or so Gluttonous Insect monsters when he was chased back then. He believed that these monsters’ speed couldn’t possibly reach the realm of the Night Thunder Dream Beast in Dark Night Chasing Moon. The only explanation was that they had nests in various parts of West Street with different Gluttonous Insect monsters chasing him.
The fact that flames were rising in several areas of the West Street confirmed that the Gluttonous Insect monsters had multiple nests. Naturally, Chu Mu couldn’t allow these monsters, which posed a huge threat to the hidden Azure Sky Hidden Dragon underground, to survive.
“After solving this, I’ll definitely recommend you all to my father, haha!” Dongqing, who was driving the Cliff Feather Bird, laughed and said to Chu Mu.
Chu Mu just nodded. Through these days of getting along, Chu Mu could guess that Dongqing was the son of some big shot in Li City. Chu Mu also learned about Yu He’s situation through Dongqing, which made him less passive. After all, his identity as Li City’s Young Master was just a title, and he didn’t know if those people from Soul Hall would recognize it.
Soon, the Cliff Feather Bird approached the wellmouth in Ancient Tung Lane. Chu Mu jumped directly from the Cliff Feather Bird to a building and quickly chanted spells, summoning the Ice-Feathered Spirit to his side.
“You guys get back, these things are not easy to deal with,” Chu Mu warned the City Guards.
With an average strength of Seventh-rank War General, the City Guards’ soul pets had some difficulty dealing with the Seventh Rank Ferocious Commanders (Gluttonous Insect monsters). (To be continued.
