Chapter 103 – The Huge Net (1/2)
Chapter 103 – The Huge Net
(Mustang: Hey guys, this is the Second regular chapter for this week.)
“Let’s do it!”
Lone Leaf looked resolute: “What are we afraid of, definitely not the Zheng Qi Sect; after all, I’m from the Bei Ming Faction.”
Blue Dragon smiled: “Brother Leaf, what’s going on in your mind?”
They were speaking in whispers, so their voices were being subdued by the sound of the waterfall, and naturally, the other party couldn’t hear them at all.
“The Zheng Qi Sect team is obviously here to fight with the monster inside the pool, so wouldn’t it be a smart move to use the opportunity?” Lone Leaf smiled back.
Bi Fan’s initial impression was that, Lone Leaf was gradually being led astray by the lure of wealth, so much so, that he wasn’t even taking the other side’s background into account, before making the decision.
Wang Zhong said: “Brother Leaf, you’re not afraid of the trouble that the other side could bring in the future, ah?”
“What’s there to fear, as long as we cut the weeds, and eliminate the roots, no one will know about this.” Lone Leaf’s eyes were cold: “When we met them the last time around, they seemed inclined on killing and robbing us; even a blind man could see that. Since they are heartless, I’m just saying that we should act the same way against them.”
Bi Fan smiled: “Brother Leaf, it seems that you’re becoming your man now, which is good thing for a man.”
Li Xuan Feng, Tian Long Yu, Yan Ren, and Ling Long, were also hiding in the woods on the other side, and hadn’t made any movements since their arrival. It was hard to guess their plan of action.
Bi Fan and his friends were quite patient, and continued to joke about, in whispers, as they waited for the other side to make a move.
Several groups of the Devil’s Race had already come and gone, batches after batches, and the curtains of night had started to descend.
The pool had stayed extremely calm the entire time, and the four of them were beginning to wonder if they were wrong about the idea of a powerful presence in the water.
Since Li Xuan Feng’s team hadn’t made any moves yet, the four of them had no option but to sit and wait, as they didn’t want to make their presence known to the other team by acting out rashly.
The waterfall continued to thunder, as the sky became darker and darker.
As the dusk set in, more number of beasts had started to surround the pool; in fact, the entire vicinity was swarming with powerful beasts.
Bi Fan’s team had hidden themselves well. But even then, the four of them wouldn’t dare to make any sounds now, as they were afraid of alerting the Devil’s Race of their presence.
If they Devil’s Race beasts were confronted with humans, then they would all unite against their common enemy.
The area was swarming with ‘transformation’ layer beasts, and even the four of them, put together, wouldn’t be able to cope up with so many of them at once.
Li Xuan Feng’s four-man team was equally cautious of the threat, and hadn’t made any movements either.
Suddenly, the calm water, exploded.
“Whossshh….” A huge column of water rose towards the sky, and water splashed in all directions.
The Devil’s Race beasts already seemed prepared for this event, and were already running about to rejoining their groups.
A huge head protruded from within the surface of the water. This huge head was adorned with a single horn, which was almost one meter in length.
“Argghh!” the huge monster’s gigantic roar was enough to send everyone’s ears ringing.
Even the most powerful beasts in the vicinity were trying to get away from the water.
“Wow! That turned out to be an Abyss Dragon! Its physical strength is amazing; maybe even more than the Stone Giant’s.” Wang Zhong was stunned. (The Word used in the novel for this beast is a Du Jiao, which is a single horned, poisonous, chimerical creature. This creature, often, either resembles a dragon, or a unicorn, depending on context.)
The Abyss Dragon was formidably strong, physically, but, its most powerful weapon was poison.
The Abyss Dragon’s poison was so potent, that even a Jungle Python wouldn’t be able to match up to it in terms of toxicity; in fact, it wasn’t even fair to draw a comparison between the two.
If the four of them came face to face with the Abyss Dragon, then they probably wouldn’t be able to escape away from him in one piece.
The Abyss Dragon had barely revealed itself, and he was already charging at the Devil’s Race beasts at an exceptionally fast pace. As his huge body started to emerge from the water, he opened his giant mouth, and bit a beast.
“Grrpp…” The Abyss Dragon, completely swallowed the entire beast, and then made a meal out of another ‘enormous strength’ layer beast, as he continued to search for more preys.
The pool was completely surrounded with beasts, which were now running around to rejoin their groups. The whole area had spiraled into a chaos, and the beasts that were a little slower than others, had already started losing out to the Abyss Dragon’s appetite.
The Abyss Dragon was like a bottomless pit; it had already swallowed several beasts whole, and was still looking around for more.
