341 The Life-Saving Vortex (1/2)

A great splash of incredibly viscous mud poured from the sky, turning Zhang Xiaohou and Mo Fan into mud people instantly.

It took Zhang Xiaohou quite some effort to clean himself up, and now, he was turned into a mud monkey again. {TL Note: Xiaohou can also mean little monkey}

Mo Fan was in a better spot, not because he was not splashed with the mud, but he was rather filthy to begin with, so an extra layer of mud did not really make any difference.

”Brother...brother Fan... what should we do now?” Zhang Xiaohou who had finally met up with Mo Fan, managed to create some distance from the Giant Poisonous Centipede. However, the distance was soon cut short when the two monsters flanked them from both directions.

Zhang Xiaohou could feel his stomach flip-flopping, seeing the two gigantic monsters charging in their direction.

He thought he finally had the chance to slaughter some demon beasts after becoming an Intermediate Magician. However, he was still extremely tiny standing in front of these Commander-level demon beasts.

”I guess I'm left with no choice!” Mo Fan stared at the muddy swamp. All he could see was waves of mud splashing toward them.

Clenching his teeth, he could picture his fangs extending longer and his pupils changing color.

As a matter of fact, Mo Fan did not feel like using the power of the Demon Element, as each time it was used, he was selling more of his soul. He could not even tell if he would still be alive after using it this time!

Every time he used the power, he would have to survive four Soul Breakdowns; all his previous efforts would be in vain!

The Giant Poisonous Centipede floated on the mud and wriggled rapidly in an S-shape like a water snake. Every time it uttered a roar, a great lump of mud would pour down from the sky, followed by the disgusting gust of its breath.

If it weren't for the missing limbs on the second-half of its body which hindered its balance, it would have caught up to Zhang Xiaohou easily!

The centipede had huge mandibles on both sides of its mouth, looking like two steel blades. They clacked loudly as it was swimming across the swamp. It could not wait to tear the guy that had stepped on its tail into pieces!

The centipede was shrieking endlessly. It turned out that its old enemy, the Xuanwu Giant Lizard, was posing a great threat to it, so it did not dare to lunge forward at its prey straight away.

Likewise, the Xuanwu Giant Lizard did not expect to bump into the centipede, either. Its lantern-sized eyes were staring at the extremely poisonous demon beast. Its cave-sized mouth bellowed at the Giant Poisonous Centipede in warning.

The roars of the demon beasts were deafening!

However, the hesitation of the two beasts somehow bought Zhang Xiaohou and Mo Fan, who was stuck in between them, some time.

That being said, the two Commander-level demon beasts were not brainless, either. They quickly came to an agreement between themselves. In order to showcase their savagery, they would first tear the damned humans into pieces first!

”A vortex, Brother Fan, it's coming!” In the nick of time, Zhang Xiaohou burst out screaming when the life-saving vortex finally appeared in the swamp.

Mo Fan had seen it too. He immediately stopped himself from activating the Demon Element.

He grabbed Zhang Xiaohou and used the shadow of the mountain from the setting sun to cast Fleeing Shadow!

A giant claw swept out; the Xuanwu Giant Lizard had launched its attack. The force of the slap alone was enough to crumble a small hill, let alone two Magicians!
