340 The Real Appearance, Xuanwu Giant Lizard! (1/2)

”Houzi, is it still chasing after you?”

”I...I don't know, I can still hear it.” Zhang Xiaohou was actually not in the mood to talk.

”Take a peek!”

”I... ” While running, Zhang Xiaohou slowly turned his head around.

With a single glance, Zhang Xiaohou realized that his vision was almost filled up by the giant centipede, especially its ugly, savage head. A few more glances would cause his scalp to turn numb.

Suddenly, Zhang Xiaohou noticed something important.

Although the giant centipede was chasing madly after him at a crazy pace, its body, which was around a hundred meters long, was now totally exposed as it leapt across a ridge of stone on the ground...

The first half of its body had fourteen limbs, but the other half had none!

It was not because the giant centipede was the product of some weird mutation. Zhang Xiaohou could clearly see the cuts and bruises on the second half of its body, which implied that it had somehow lost half of its limbs!

It was a centipede with half of its limbs amputated!

No wonder the beast had not eaten him alive yet! Due to the lack of limbs on the second half of its body, it had completely lost its ability to maintain its balance. It kept on crashing to the sides, either gouging out huge ravines or sliding into the muddy pools. It would be agile at times, but slow as an ox the rest!

”Brother Fan, this giant centipede is injured too!” Zhang Xiaohou blurted out in excitement.

I knew Brother Fan wouldn't let me down!

”Mm, be careful. Although that guy has no ranged attacks, you will be in grave danger if it manages to slam into you with its head. Oh, I forgot to mention too. The antidote fruits that I had you eat before, they aren't really fruits. They were the eggs that the giant centipede laid. Therefore, it should be able to smell the scent of its kids on your breath. Don't worry about it not chasing after you, just keep on running,” Mo Fan replied, while panting heavily on the other side of the coms.

Zhang Xiaohou was stunned for a moment.

Worry my ass!

A disgusted feeling welled up inside him. Zhang Xiaohou never thought Mo Fan would set his teammates up like this! It turned out that none of his words were true, apart from the fact that the thing could be used as an antidote.

Crap, the ground ahead is running out!

Zhang Xiaohou realized there was a huge mud pool in front of him. He would need to travel more than two hundred meters across the water before reaching land.

He took a glance at the giant centipede chasing after him, which was only a hundred meters away... Holy crap, it was pretty much just the length of itself away!

There was no way Zhang Xiaohou would be stopping now. He only hoped that the mud was viscous enough and had a high percentage of Earth Element. Otherwise, it would be the end of things if he ended up sinking into the muck!

Clenching his teeth, Zhang Xiaohou maintained his speed and continued to cast Wind Track and Earth Wave at the same time as he made his way across the mud.

The Wind Track formed a lengthy airflow across the two-hundred-meter long pool of mud.

The Earth Wave surged forward and used the mud to create a path. Zhang Xiaohou manipulated the mud in the water and forced the lumps to gather rapidly, quickly contracting and forming a muddy path across the surface of the pool...

Boss Zhan Kong had told him before that if a Wind Element user was fast enough, he could sprint across the surface of water.

The viscosity of mud was significantly higher than water. Surely it would be easier to run across it than water, right?

Zhang Xiaohou had completely put his life at stake trying to pull off such a difficult move. A unique glow wrapped around his legs as he prepared to use his magic Boots, which served as his final trump card. He was doing everything he could just to stop his legs from being caught in the mud.

”Oh wow wow wow wow~~~~~!”

Zhang Xiaohou sprinted across the pool while screaming at the top of his lungs. A clear path surfaced in the middle of the pool, splitting the muck aside. If it weren't for the visually dominating centipede chasing right after him, he would not mind showing his new move to his friends!

”Brother...Brother Fan, I'm almost there... F**K ME!”

Zhang Xiaohou saw a giant black moving mountain rising ahead of him, just as he was about to reach his destination!
