Chapter 390: Chapter 266: Battle with Yu He in the Old Site Hall
Translator: 549690339
Yu He’s face turned extremely ugly, because Chu Mu’s actions were beyond his expectation, and more importantly, it was clear that none of the four had Water Type soul pets, causing them to panic in the sudden torrent of water.
The waves swept over them, and the four were already scattered. No one wanted to be exhausted by the water, so they quickly locked onto the various passages leading from the Old Site Hall in different directions.
“Don’t split up.”
A member of Elemental Gate shouted, but his voice was quickly drowned out by the roaring water. As a large amount of water was poured in all at once, the impact was extremely terrifying. Regardless of whether they had summoned soul pets or not, they were all swept away by the torrent into the passages of the Old Site Hall.
The flowing water quickly separated Yu He’s group into different side halls or secret chambers, and Chu Mu and the others, who had been prepared earlier, naturally seized the opportunity to eliminate one of the Elemental Gate Soul Pet Masters who had been separated during the chaos.
The water flooded in at a frantic pace, filling about one-third of the height of the entire Old Site Hall. Even if one had a Water Type soul pet, the rapid flow of water would still cause their soul pets to be washed to other locations.
Chu Mu had dug through all the passages leading to different halls in advance. These tunnels were crafted to be downward-sloping, and once swept towards the edges, the unresponsive Soul Pet Masters would definitely be washed down the tunnels until they reached the bottom.
“Ye Wansheng, there is a Soul Pet Master in your tunnel who has been isolated. You and Dongqing must kill them as quickly as possible without giving them any chance to catch their breath,” Chu Mu immediately said to Dongqing and Ye Wansheng.
Dongqing and Ye Wansheng had long been eager to fight, and without any hesitation, Dongqing rode the Mad Qi Water Beast while Ye Qingzi rode the Sword Sting. The two of them killed the Soul Pet Master who had been swept away to a side hall.
“Qingzi, let your Water Moon continue to create torrents to strike the tunnel on your left and limit those two,” Chu Mu said to Ye Qingzi.
The greatest advantage of Ye Qingzi was her Water Moon at the Eighth Stage Fourth Rank. In this battle environment, the Water Moon played a crucial role. As long as Ye Qingzi let the Water Moon stand at the entrance leading to the side hall, continuously flooding the tunnels with a violent torrent, those two who had been swept away to the side hall would surely be exhausted by the raging waters.
“Be careful if you’re going to kill Yu He,” Ye Qingzi also knew that Chu Mu would definitely fight Yu He and specially reminded him.
Chu Mu nodded, “When you find that you can’t control both of them, decisively run towards your brother’s side and do not force yourself.”
“Okay.” The amount of water stored by Ye Qingzi was limited, and she could not fill the entire Old Site Hall, including the dug side halls.
As the water level gradually decreased, Ye Qingzi, like a mermaid, dove in with her Water Moon and swam to the positions where Lu Ying and the other Elemental Gate member were swept away.
“Pearl Drops!” Ye Qingzi issued a command to her Water Moon!
Where there is water, there is the realm of the Water Moon. As the Water Moon incantation started, the unsoaked space in the Old Site Hall suddenly floated with countless water droplets, which were crystal clear and shining with the luster of the Water Moon in the dark, like thousands of pearls floating in the air!
With the transparent arms gently swinging, the water droplets floating on the rapid surface of the Old Site Hall were completely controlled. When the water level decreased as the passages were filled up, those water droplets continually combined into large water droplets, flying towards the tunnel!
These water droplets did not have any real attack power, nor would they cause any harm to soul pets and humans, but they could severely consume the enemy’s physical and combat power. If all these water droplets attacked an Eighth Stage Commander, it would directly consume one-third of the Commander’s energy.
Ye Qingzi did not make a frontal attack either. Relying on her unique terrain, she fully utilized the advantage of her Water Moon, continuously releasing weakening techniques to restrict Lu Ying and the other Elemental Gate member who had been swept to the deepest side hall.
Chu Mu, riding the Night Thunder Dream Beast and hiding on a broken pillar, had long locked onto Yu He who was swept to another tunnel’s secret chamber by the turbulent waves.
Yu He himself had a Water Type soul pet, but his reaction was a bit slow when the flood poured down. When he summoned his Water Type soul pet, he was swept into the secret chamber in the tunnel that Chu Mu had prepared for him.
Chu Mu wasn’t exactly skilled in fighting in water. When Yu He was swept into the secret chamber, Chu Mu intentionally waited for him to remove all the liquid before driving the Night Thunder Dream Beast towards Yu He.
The secret chamber was very dark, but the space was wide enough. When Chu Mu entered, he immediately saw Yu He who was soaked all over.
Yu He had not summoned his Water Type soul pet nor recited Soul Technique incantations in time so the flood had caught him off guard. Now seeing Chu Mu coming to kill him, Yu He quickly calmed down, his poisonous and resentful eyes staring at Chu Mu.
“Hmph, it seems like you’ve been waiting here for me for a long time. I’m curious, you’ve already found the Qingzhe Dragon first, why not go for the reward? Could it be that you’re scheming to kill me here?” As Yu He recited the Water Type incantation, all the water droplets on his body were removed and slowly gathered in his palm, forming a slightly turbid water ball suspended in midair.
“Almost.” Chu Mu jumped down from the Night Thunder Dream Beast and coldly recited a spell, summoning the Demon Tree Warrior and Mo Ye in front of him.
“It’s still these two warrior-level soul pets. If you don’t have a stronger soul pet, you will definitely be the one to die today.” Yu He didn’t show any signs of panic. He crushed the water ball in his hand and also recited a spell, summoning a Solid Rock General at the Seventh Rank Fourth Stage that took advantage of the terrain!
When Chu Mu was in Colorful Dome City, Yu He’s Solid Rock General was at the Seventh Rank Third Stage, but now it had reached the Seventh Rank Fourth Stage. Judging from its size, it shouldn’t have undergone any strengthening for now.
Chu Mu originally intended to have the Ghost Dome King, with its great defense, to tangle with Yu He’s Solid Rock General. However, due to consecutive events, Chu Mu didn’t have a chance to buy spirit items that could strengthen the Ghost Dome King, and it remained at the Fifth Rank Ninth Stage.
There is a significant difference in strength between the Fifth and Sixth Ranks. If it hadn’t been promoted to the Sixth Rank, even though the Ghost Dome King is a Monarch-level creature, it might still be killed by the Solid Rock General, which had been strengthened to near Monarch-level.
The most powerful offensive force at the moment was Mo Ye. Chu Mu had to rely on it to defeat the formidable Solid Rock General with a defense level of eight.
“Let me see what you’re capable of!” Yu He laughed wildly.
As his laughter echoed in the damp, enclosed chamber, the loose soil layer of the room suddenly broke open. Immediately, several tenacious tendrils, like earth snakes, rushed towards Chu Mu and his soul pets from all directions at lightning speed!
Chu Mu had already guessed that Yu He’s Hundred-Tendril Tree Demon had been summoned and was hiding somewhere in this chamber.
“Night, Night Dance!” Chu Mu immediately had the Night Thunder Dream Beast use its dodging skills.
Chu Mu’s soul sense connected with the Night Thunder Dream Beast’s mind and, through the soul sense, Chu Mu locked onto the wooden tendrils approaching from all directions. The Night Thunder Dream Beast also locked onto them through Chu Mu’s soul sense, executing a perfect dodge. Soon, all the dozens of wooden tendrils lost their attack direction and turned into snake whips, randomly hitting the darkness of the chamber.
“Demon Tree, Tendril Entanglement!” Chu Mu ordered.
Although the chamber was not small, the wooden tendrils of the Hundred-Tendril Tree Demon were terrifying. There were tendrils twisting in almost every corner of the chamber, making the entire battle area seem to be controlled by Yu He and making it difficult for Chu Mu’s soul pets to move.
Wood type versus wood type, the Demon Tree Warrior had already grown stronger compared to over two months ago. Its advanced demonic wood tendrils were like living beings, quickly spreading throughout the dark chamber and entangling with the Hundred-Tendril Tree Demon’s wooden tendrils…
In a short period, the chamber was almost filled with wooden tendrils and roots. It looked like a large group of green-red mad pythons fighting against another batch of grey-blue snakes in an underground nest.
“Demonic Wood Spikes!” Yu He’s Hundred-Tendril Tree Demon could also use multiple skills. As its tendrils were entangled with the Demon Tree Warrior’s roots, demonic wood spikes grew from its body and stabbed towards the Demon Tree Warrior!
As the demonic wood spikes flew, their speed was strange. It could be inferred from their black tips that they carried a certain degree of poison!
The Hundred-Tendril Tree Demon’s main attribute is wood, and its sub-attribute is vine. Vine family soul pets possess a certain amount of poison, and the most troublesome aspect is the endless wooden tendrils and vines, as they can potentially restrain hundreds of soul pets!
“Double Release, Forest Growth!” Chu Mu’s Demon Tree Warrior wouldn’t lose to any other soul pets in terms of wood type skills, and it was more than proficient in using Double Release.
The Demon Tree Warrior opened its mouth and directly spat out several special seeds. These seeds landed in front of the Demon Tree Warrior and, once in the soil, they quickly grew into a wall of trees, stopping all the demonic wood spikes from getting through.
Triple Release, Wood Finger Prison!
“Oh”
The Demon Tree Warrior roared and fiercely slammed its wooden palm into the loose ground. Ten wooden fingers entered the ground quickly…
“Puff, puff, puff~”
Yu He’s Hundred-Tendril Tree Demon also intended to use Triple Release. However, Yu He didn’t expect Chu Mu’s warrior-level Demon Tree Warrior to be capable of using Triple Release. What surprised him even more was that the speed of the Triple Release was faster than that of his Hundred-Tendril Tree Demon. (To be continued.
