Chapter 68 (1/2)

“What is this!?” Zhang Che’s pupils shrank, sensing a great danger approaching him rapidly.

Every time the purple lightning pounced, it would suddenly shoot over fifty meters forwards. In just three jumps, it was nearly upon Zhang Che, spending barely two seconds.

At that moment, Zhang Che could only reflexively bring the Mutated Puffersword up to his chest to defend himself. He didn’t have the time to move his feet.

This was all thanks to Zhang Che’s efforts over the past few days, practicing the basic movements of the sword routine Huang Tielan gifted him whenever he was free, that he had such a swift reaction.

A huge force suddenly hit him. Zhang Che only felt that a soft body collided into him, carrying a huge force behind it. He couldn’t resist it and fell backwards, rolling several times before coming to a stop.

Zhang Che also felt the Mutated Sword in his hand had sliced through something during that collision. A cool fluid splashed all over his face.

Zhang Che reached out to touch it. A sticky, purple-green fluid entered his sight, accompanied by a rotting smell. It was obviously from the thing that just knocked into him.

It was only now that Zhang Che reacted to this, a layer of cold sweat forming on his back. “Could this be a higher-class Maneater Leech!?”

He didn’t know that his action of reflexively raising the Mutated Puffersword had already saved his life. If it wasn’t for that block, that Maneater Leech of unknown strength would probably be latched onto him now, instantly sucking him dry.

With that subconscious action of his, not only was Zhang Che uninjured, that Maneater Leech was even hurt!

“Luckily the fluid from this thing isn’t corrosive or poisonous in nature. Otherwise, my handsome little face would be ruined!”

Zhang Che quickly crawled back to his feet apprehensively. After wiping off the purple-green fluid on his face, his feet started moving quickly.

At this moment, the purple figure was being held up by the Wind Shadow Wolf, and didn’t have the time to care about Zhang Che. It could also be because its attack failed and was even injured instead, so it had changed its target.

It was also at this moment that Zhang Che finally saw the true appearance of that thing.

It was indeed a Maneater Leech, but it was bigger than ordinary Maneater Leeches, and its skin an enchanting purple shade, with gold and silvery thin patterns all over, adding on to its bewitching aesthetics.

“Please forgive my tastes. I actually saw beauty in a water leech…” Zhang Che shook his head, expelling the weird thoughts from his head. His eyes, however, were shining golden rays of greed.
