Chapter 244 - Wu Clan continued. (1/2)

Hao Xuan summoned Bai and charged in the direction of the fallen chariot.

”You should be careful. Whatever beast that was is not something you can go up against right now,” Baracus reminded Hao Xuan as he was getting ready to jump as soon as something came into view.

”Ah, you're right. I forgot about that. Bai, keep a low profile, stay in the trees!” he patted Bai on the shoulder, who grunted back in response. He leaped from one tree branch to another, making his way over.

In a minute or so Hao Xuan reached the crash site.

There was a giant broken tree a few dozen meters in front of him behind which he could see and hear different flashes of lights and explosions.

”Slowly now,” he whispered into Bai's ears.

Sharp claws, almost a foot in length, came out of his paws and pierced into the tree they were on. Bai's body then shook three times, every time becoming smaller and smaller in size.

By the third shake he had already shrunk to half his original size.

”Woah, where did this come from?” Hao Xuan mumbled in amazement but only got a cold glare back in response.

Bai climbed the tree trunk vertically, his razor sharp claws going in and out of the wood without making a single sound. He reached the tree canopy that was almost a 100 meters up in the air and perched atop a leafy branch.

Hao Xuan leaned forward and could finally see the scenes from the other side of the broken tree.

Half of the chariot was slowly sinking into the muddy water while the other broken half was embedded inside the tree.

Two of the horses were still stuck to the front piece while the other two were nowhere in sight.

The Wu kid was dodging left and right while being surrounded by a blue light. It illuminated his surroundings making him look like a giant firefly.

In front of him was a mossy figure of about 12 meters in height. It was covered in dirt and mud along with grass, some fungi, and a few smaller dead creatures. It literally looked like a giant mass of sludge that had come to life. It had no face, arms or even legs.

Every now and then a tentacle would shoot out of its main body, attacking the kid once before returning to the main mass.

”You ignorant creature! Do you know who I am?” the boy shouted furiously but the creature in front of him acted like it couldn't even hear him.

The boy waved his hand and four ethereal paper slips materialized out of thin air in front of him. He tapped one of them lightly and it turned into a white light and entered his body. He took the other three and threw them towards the mud creature.

All three of them turned into rays light, each with a different color, and went inside the creature's body.

The creature's movements slowed down significantly and it looked it had lost its sight. It was attacking everything around it but the boy.

Hao Xuan watched on with interest.

”What the h*ll did he just do?!” he mumbled thoughtfully.

”Talismans. Those are talismans,” Baracus replied.

”Talismans? But those things looked like they were holograms,” Hao Xuan asked with a frown.

”That's what they look like in the hands of someone that knows how to use them. The boy probably made them himself.”

”Explain. What are they?”
