Chapter 376: Chapter 252: Zhe Dragon’s White Silk
Translator: 549690339
“Ice Seal!”
As the spell chant was sung, the Ice-Feathered Spirit’s ice frost fell on the well’s mouth, adding a layer of ice crystals to the already cracked ice surface.
The ice crystals reinforced the ice block sealing the well’s mouth, but the power of the Gluttonous Insect monsters beneath was so strong that even the Ice-Feathered Spirit’s ice crystal could not completely seal them in.
“Bang!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Finally, the ice layer shattered, ice shards flew everywhere, and an incredibly strong Insect aura burst from the gap, affecting an area of fifty meters and sending the Soul Pets of several city guards flying.
Chu Mu was secretly surprised because, according to his knowledge of Gluttonous Insect monsters, even if dozens of them gathered, it shouldn’t have shown such a strong aura.
Chu Mu closely stared at the shattered ice layer. This Gluttonous Insect monster was extremely cunning. The moment it rushed out of the well, it remained invisible. If it weren’t for the rain and almost invisible white silk, Chu Mu wouldn’t have seen what it looked like at all.
“Chu Mu, be careful! It’s a larger Gluttonous Insect monster, possibly the Mother of a Hundred!” Ye Qingzi, who was in the air, quickly noticed the size of this Gluttonous Insect monster and warned Chu Mu loudly.
“Hiss hiss hiss hiss”
An unpleasant sound came from the monster’s throat. It was extremely fast, and Chu Mu could not see its movements, only feeling a strong gust sweeping below. Then, the Soul Pets of all the city guards were sent flying, covered in blood, without any resistance.
After seeing this scene, Chu Mu became even more horrified. He didn’t expect this Gluttonous Insect monster to be so terrifying, and hurriedly had the Ice-Feathered Spirit to launch the Ice Air Dance.
With the Ice Air Dance, the white frost spread in this area. Chu Mu could see the monster, with its horrifying speed, rushing towards him through the white mist!
“Ice Crystal Sword Array!”
Chu Mu immediately gave the order to the Ice-Feathered Spirit.
This Gluttonous Insect monster’s speed could only be described as terrifying. Although the Ice-Feathered Spirit had created twenty-four ice swords, it couldn’t lock onto the fierce creature that pierced through the curtain of rain and rushed towards Chu Mu.
“Attack around me!” Chu Mu relayed his thoughts to the Ice-Feathered Spirit.
The Ice-Feathered Spirit quickly understood its master’s intentions and manipulated the twenty-four ice swords to crash irregularly around Chu Mu!
“Bang! Bang!! Bang!!!!!!!”
The huge ice swords crashed one by one around Chu Mu’s body, turning into countless splashing ice shards.
“Swoosh”
This Gluttonous Insect monster’s evasion ability was equally astonishing, incredibly dodging the incoming massive and dense ice swords!
“Overlap!!”
Chu Mu was also alarmed, already feeling the disgusting breath of the monster on his face.
After skill overlap, the ice sword bombardment frequency increased, and the invisible, wind-like creature was finally affected, unable to get close to Chu Mu.
However, Chu Mu didn’t expect that this monster could also launch an attack!
The Gluttonous Insect monster’s transparent body swept from a position five meters away from Chu Mu. Its long Claw Blade left a cold trajectory in the curtain of rain, akin to a lightning-fast flying assault
When the Ice-Feathered Spirit began chanting, Chu Mu had already applied the Ice Crystal Armor to himself. With the additional effect of the Level 6 Soul Armor, his defense was raised to the Seventh Level Final Phase.
However, the terrifying claws easily tore through Chu Mu’s defense, leaving a bloodstain on his arm that reached the bone. It almost severed the arm in the process!
Blood spurted from Chu Mu’s arm, hindering his spell chanting, making it difficult to recite it fully.
“Chu Mu!!”
Seeing Chu Mu injured, Ye Qingzi was so shocked that she jumped from her Cliff Feather Bird and summoned her Dream Beast to fly towards Chu Mu.
Dongqing was also shocked, urging her Cliff Feather Bird to quickly fly over Chu Mu’s head, trying to pull Chu Mu into the air.
“Don’t come over, this thing is too strong!” Chu Mu yelled, making Ye Qingzi and Dongqing both stay in the air.
This Gluttonous Insect monster was far more powerful than Chu Mu had imagined, and its invisibility was far greater than that of the previous monsters. One wrong move could lead to death. Ye Qingzi and Dongqing impulsively flying down could make them the monster’s next attack target.
Ye Qingzi’s Dream Beast hesitated in the air momentarily, and she ultimately decided against going to the ground. Instead, she chanted a spell, sending a gentle blue water ribbon slowly swirling around Chu Mu’s injured arm.
Ye Qingzi’s Healing Water Heart effect was very obvious, as the wounds that were spraying blood quickly stopped bleeding and were healing at a visible speed…
“Mo Ye!” While the Ice Sword Array was still striking, Chu Mu decisively summoned Mo Ye in front of him.
The crimson Demon Fire Evil Flame and the bright red Blood Flame burned amidst the splashing ice crystals, as the nine Crown Flames quickly flew in fiery tracks, forming a blazing summoning glyph.
Chu Lian’s Mo Ye swiftly appeared in the summoning pattern, its Monarch Level mighty demon aura was released without any concealment, intending to transform into the powerful Nine-tailed Crown Flame Fox the moment it appeared!
Although Ye Qingzi hadn’t descended to the ground, she quickly completed her spell and summoned her extremely powerful Battle Court Black Beast beside Chu Mu.
The Battle Court Black Beast’s combat power was not inferior to Mo Ye, and its aura was just as powerful. Its black, energetic eyes stared fixedly at the translucent figure hidden in the rainwater.
Noticing Mo Ye and the Battle Court Black Beast’s strong Monarch auras, the highly vigilant invisible Gluttonous Insect Monster realized that it had no hope of killing Chu Mu, and without hesitation, it turned and fled!
“Remain in Chu Lian’s state.” Chu Mu told Mo Ye to maintain Chu Lian’s state as he chanted another spell to summon Night Thunder Dream Beast in front of him.
Chu Mu agilely jumped onto the Night Thunder Dream Beast, urging it to reach its fastest speed as it chased after the fleeing Gluttonous Insect Monster!
“Chu Mu, don’t chase!” Ye Qingzi could tell that the Gluttonous Insect Monster they encountered was extremely powerful, powerful enough that any carelessness could lead to their death. Pursuing it would be very dangerous.
Dongqing in the air had already chanted a spell, launching a flame signal into the sky to inform Li Gu of their situation.
Ignoring Ye Qingzi’s advice and not waiting for Li Gu’s support, Chu Mu directly jumped onto the Night Thunder Dream Beast and ordered them to chase the Gluttonous Insect Monster at high speed.
“You stay here, I’ll go after it.” Chu Mu had already ridden the Night Thunder Dream Beast for several hundred meters before he conveyed his plan to Ye Qingzi and Chu Mu through Soul Sense.
Ye Qingzi wanted to say something else, but Chu Mu and his Soul Pets had already vanished from her sight, swiftly disappearing among the complex streets and alleys.
“What’s gotten into him, and why is he so irrational? I’m going to chase him back from the sky.” Dongqing couldn’t let Chu Mu face the terrifying Gluttonous Insect Monster alone and hurriedly flew into the air.
Ye Qingzi didn’t go in pursuit, but watched the direction where Chu Mu left. After a moment, she shifted her gaze to where Chu Mu had stopped previously.
Ye Qingzi remembered that when she was healing Chu Mu, he didn’t summon Mo Ye right away, but purposely glanced at the ground beneath his feet.
“What is this?” Ye Qingzi squatted down and picked up a few slightly viscous white silks, puzzled.
This object was left behind when the Gluttonous Insect Monster attacked Chu Mu earlier, making Ye Qingzi wonder why Chu Mu had changed his mind from retreating to resolutely chasing the extremely dangerous Gluttonous Insect Monster after seeing this thing.
During the not entirely dark night, the Night Thunder Dream Beast’s Dark Night Chasing the Moon skill could only increase its speed to twice its full sprint. It was very difficult for Chu Mu to catch up with the Gluttonous Insect Monster at this speed, so he purposefully added the Wind Riding Effect to barely keep up with the trail of the Gluttonous Insect Monster.
Continually chasing through the city, they slowly moved from the deserted West Street District into the Central City North Street, where citizens lived.
Central City North Street was a bustling entertainment area. By this time, it was nearing dusk, with various colorful flames flickering and decorating the area. Upon entering here, one could feel the heavy scent of makeup in the air, a corrupting aroma that could make one unconsciously indulge in debauchery.
The Gluttonous Insect Monster was intelligent. It seemed to know that there must be some experts among humans, and as it darted into North Street, it didn’t launch its rampage attack. Instead, it hid from Chu Mu’s pursuit by passing through the crowd and even ducking into some establishments to make it difficult for Chu Mu to locate it.
As Chu Mu chased the Night Thunder Dream Beast into an extremely luxurious brothel, the Gluttonous Insect Monster vanished completely, and even its rich scent was masked.
Chu Mu ignored the intoxicated customers and panicked prostitutes, riding the Night Thunder Dream Beast directly into the brothel’s courtyard.
“Are you sure it’s here?” Chu Mu asked Night Thunder Dream Beast.
Utilizing its control of darkness, Night let its perception infiltrate the entire brothel, searching for the location of the Gluttonous Insect Monster.
The Gluttonous Insect Monster was incredibly powerful, and Chu Mu had to exert his full strength to have a chance to fight against it. Under normal circumstances, Chu Mu wouldn’t take the risk to compete with something he might not be able to handle.
However, Chu Mu had a compelling reason to pursue it.
Because during the Gluttonous Insect Monster’s attack, some viscous white silk had slipped off of the monster.
These white silks obviously did not come from the Gluttonous Insect Monster, and having spent so much time with the disguised Little Green Worm, Chu Mu could be one hundred percent certain that the white silks that the Gluttonous Insect Monster accidentally got stuck with were precisely the silk spat out by the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon!
Once on Prison Island, these white silks had covered a large forest, turning the entire woodland into God’s Innards! (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian () and cast recommendation votes and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
