Chapter 269 - Tentacles Monster in the Blood Rain (1/2)
Usually, fire is the best thing to deal with monsters like this. However, the bat monster has made sure that fire can’t exist here. Other cultivators may be fine with it but Wen Guanjing, who has a pure fire Taoist root, is affected by it.
The thing that rushes out of Wen’s hand is a soft sword. As a Grade Two magic weapon, it can change its form. It’s the best weapon to deal with this monster baby who can move very fast. The baby is made of flesh and blood and it can’t stand the attack of a sharp sword. It turns around and runs.
An is already waiting on the way the monster baby is heading to. An’s baby face seems to be harmless, yet the paper figures flying out of his hands are powerful.
The Thunder-summoning Figure burns without ignition and a strike of purple thunder falls from the sky. The monster baby s.h.i.+vers and closes its eyes and starts weeping. The baby’s emotions are quite deceptive if you don’t look at its bat body.
At least the baby’s monsterous look makes An’s hand s.h.i.+ver. The monster baby takes the chance and rushes at An. It grabs An’s hand and bites him.
It is sucking An’s blood!
Wen Guanjing comes to them and strikes the monster baby in the back. However, it seems that the baby can’t even feel the pain. It keeps sucking An’s blood and doesn’t let go.
Wen Guanjing frowns. The soft sword twists and the body of the monster baby is smashed… In the meantime, the baby’s head is still on An’s hand and its teeth are deep in his flesh.
Before Wen Guanjing slashes the baby’s head, An waves to him. He throws a seed using his left hand. Green light flashes and a plant bursts out and wraps the baby’s head inside. The plant secretes while liquid and the baby’s head becomes stiff. An lifts the baby’s head up and gives it to Lin Luoran.
Lin Luoran holds the baby’s head in her hands and stares at it for a while. She doesn’t know what is the plant An just used or what to do with the half-dead baby’s head.
“Are its teeth poisonous?”
An stands in amazement for a while and then realizes that Lin’s question is for him. He checks on himself and shakes his head.
“This thing is deceptive, fast, and bloodthirsty… It is not completely a descendant of the Blood Line. It’s half-human and half-monster. It is not so powerful when it is a baby. If it grows up someday, it will become more dangerous.” Wen Guanjing draws back his soft sword and tells Lin Luoran his thoughts.
Lin Luoran guesses that the bat monster is mostly responsible for this. She tells Wen Guanjing about what happened in the secret land through her spiritual mind. Wen’s emotions change but he manages to keep his feelings stable.
Though surprised, Wen has to stay calm. Under this circ.u.mstance, Wen Guanjing and Lin Luoran can’t should any bit of hesitation, scare, or anxiety.
Except for those who signed a master-servant contract, Wen has never heard of a monster that can get out of the secret land by itself. However, according to Lin, if the Venerable is really out, he won’t just fuss around with them. He can kill all of the cultivators here with a lift of his hand.
Unless a part of the Venerable’s spiritual mind is in the bat?
Wen Guanjing shares his thoughts with Lin Luoran through his mind. Lin feels the same.
If it’s really just a part of the spiritual mind— Lin smiles. She may know what to do next.
……
In a small building in the Textile School, Crystal and Ridd.i.c.k, who were in a mess, are now fresh and new. Though their clothes are fancy, Ridd.i.c.k doesn’t seem to be as vigorous as he normally is.
Crystal is chatting gladly with the bat. Ridd.i.c.k’s long and thin fingers are s.h.i.+vering. They’re all dead. Ridd.i.c.k’s descendants, including the indirect ones, are all killed in the fight. Ridd.i.c.k can’t accept what has happened in the first place, and he can’t help s.h.i.+vering after hearing what Crystal and the bat are talking about.
Even though he knew that Crystal never cared about his descendants, he was not informed of the fact that the deaths of all his descendants are to serve as the nourishment of the bat!
“Enough! Crystal, can you and your bat friend leave for a second and give me some peace?”
Crystal stops talking and looks at her brother in surprise to make sure that he is not joking. She puts away the smile on her face. Thinking about the scene when Ridd.i.c.k covered her during the danger, Crystal feels that she should tolerate his bad temper. She looks at the bat monster and asks it to go and talk in a different place.
Crystal cares for her relations.h.i.+p with her brother, but the bat monster can’t care less. It says, “I never make s.p.a.ce for others.”
Crystal is having a headache. She signed a blood pact with the bat monster and she has grown stronger during the past few years. Crystal has her own wicked plan because she discovers that as time pa.s.ses, the blood pact’s restriction on her is getting weaker. If it weren’t that, she wouldn’t have to run the experiment for the bat monster. Crystal doesn’t want the elders in the Blood Line to notice, so she comes to Huaxia, splitting herself from her family.
Thinking of the bottomless power of the monster and her plan of turning all the cultivators vampires, Crystal switches the topic, “Your Venerable, why did you send the semi-finished product out? It is weak and it can’t do us much help…”
The bat monster laughs sa.s.sily, “How can I know about its ability if I don’t put it in the field? You’ve wasted so many years doing those so-call genetic experiments. What have you gained?”
