Chapter 173 (1/2)

The purple flame monster’s fiery antennas were too powerful. Originally, Chu Yunsheng thought that other insects would also start to chase him. However, after a few red-sh.e.l.led insects were killed by the purple flame monster’s fiery antennas, all the insects stayed behind and “watched” the “internal conflict” from a distance.

The monster was too quick, the golden-sh.e.l.led insect was. .h.i.t by it a few times because of that. If it had not been for the little tiger’s detection ability and Chu Yunsheng’s energy s.h.i.+eld, the golden-sh.e.l.led insect would have probably already lost its ability to move.

Chu Yunsheng quickly lured the monster towards the riverside. Soon, they left the swarm, and the insects in the swarm did not seem to want to follow them.

Chu Yunsheng’s plan was to lure the purple flame monster into the huge hole he had dug earlier. He needed to defeat the monster in that hole lest other insects would spot it.

When the purple flame monster entered the hole, Chu Yunsheng immediately jumped out of the golden-sh.e.l.led insect’s back and cast out the glacier talisman he had prepared before.

At the same time, he also ordered the golden-sh.e.l.led insect to take the little tiger under the ground once again.

The purple monster did not expect that a human would suddenly appear in the fight between it and the golden-sh.e.l.led insect. Just when it raised its head and wanted to roar, it was instantly frozen into an ice sculpture. Through the crystal clear icy surface, Chu Yunsheng could still see its last posture.

“Crack!”

As soon as Chu Yunsheng heard the sound of the ice cracking, he cast out 12 sword Qi, combined them into one bright beam, and shot it into the monster’s mouth.

Then he immediately activated the second glacier talisman!

He did not want to give the monster any opportunities to counterattack him. Although this kind of fighting method would consume him a lot of Yuan Qi, he needed to prevent the monster from calling for help. He also needed to finish the fight as soon as possible.

He had used glacier talisman and sword Qi this type of combination attack before. It was at the time when he was trying to fight the flaming bird.

However, the purple flame monster was not weaker than the flaming bird. Although Chu Yunsheng was fully prepared, its long antennas still hit him several times and left huge dents in the armour.

Chu Yunsheng needed the antennas. That was why he did not attempt to cut it off when the monster whipped him. Even when he was wrapped around by the antennas sometimes, he would only use the talisman to freeze it first, and then break free.

After he activated four glacier talismans, and released sword Qi two times, the flame around the purple flame monster’s body was reduced visibly.

However, Chu Yunsheng forgot one very important thing. It was that the monster not only communicated through sound, but they also communicated through other mediums as well.

All the insects seemed to have received the purple flame monster’s call, and they all started to run toward the huge hole.

Chu Yunsheng also heard the ground movements that were caused by the swarm; he needed to hurry up end this right now.

He needed to unleash the sword Qi inside its body. Only in that way, would it be able to heavily injure this monster.

Chu Yunsheng gritted his teeth and charged out when the monster had just broken free from the 5th glacier talisman. He was like a lightning bolt, flying toward the monster, and forcibly stabbed his sword into the monster’s heavily protected mouth. Then he tried to unleash the sword Qi twice while the sword was still inside its mouth!

If the sword was not upgraded and if he did not cast out sword Qi several times earlier to damage the sh.e.l.ls around its mouth, he would not have been able to stab the sword into the mouth.

However, this attack method was extremely dangerous. While unleas.h.i.+ng the sword Qi, he could not dodge the monster’s attack and its purple fire shock waves.

All he could do was try to unleash the sword Qi as quickly as possible, then cast out one more glacier talismans before it could unleash the purple fire shock waves.

Its antennas were constantly whipping his amour. Luckily, the power was a lot of weaker now. However, his heart quickly sank as he saw the purple fiery rings appear around his body.

The shock waves flew towards him almost the same time when he cast out the sword Qi.

He gritted his teeth and withstood the blazing fire shock wave attack.

He could almost feel the fire penetrating the armour and the energy s.h.i.+eld and directly burned his body.

He felt like his body was melting.

Meanwhile, the screeching sound made by the swarm was getting louder and louder, the golden-sh.e.l.led insect and the little tiger were trying to delay the swarm as much as they could.

However, even with that, he still did not have much time left.

‘f.u.c.k!’

Chu Yunsheng cursed in pain and unleashed the sword Qi inside its mouth the second time!
