343 The Battle Between the Commanders (1/2)
The two monsters fought fiercely, treating one another as their mortal enemy.
Meanwhile, in the underground cavern, Zhang Xiaohou had refined the Earth Element Soul Seed, the Flowing Mud. He could feel himself soaring across the sky.
It was Zhang Xiaohou's first time obtaining a Soul Seed. It had improved his strength significantly. Now he could even accomplish some missions that groups would have trouble doing, all on his own!
”This Flowing Mud is one of the best among the Earth Element Soul Seeds I've seen. It's firm as a rock when it solidifies, and can turn into a vicious mud that is adhesive and poisonous as it softens,” said Li Man.
Zhang Xiaohou felt slightly embarrassed, as he did not expect the two would give him the Soul Seed just like that.
The Flowing Mud Soul Seed did give Zhang Xiaohou two different feelings. As Li Man had mentioned, it had two different attributes. It was rare for a Soul Seed to have different attributes. Not only did it improve Zhang Xiaohou's Earth Element power, it also granted him different ways of utilizing his Earth Element.
For example, most people would use Earth Wave to alter their location. Those who were adept with it could use it as fluctuating quicksand to hinder an enemy's movement.
However, the Flowing Mud's Earth Wave would end up laying a huge swampy trap. The enemy would find their legs stuck in the mud, which not only obstructed their movement, but the Water Element poison would also penetrate them through the mud...
Zhang Xiaohou could tell that his strength had multiplied!
As he thought, following Brother Fan was definitely a wise choice. Ordinary Magicians would not even have enough money to buy a Soul Seed after saving up for all their lives, while he had been given an extraordinary Soul Seed for free!
”Don't feel embarrassed, it's what you deserve. You put your life at stake for it,” Mo Fan clapped Zhang Xiaohou's shoulders.
Zhang Xiaohou had played an important role in the plan. Besides, he had sold all his possessions just to get him two Soul Essences. There was no way Mo Fan would mistreat his stupid brother, and they had conveniently found the Soul Seed by coincidence. Was there any reason he wouldn't be giving it to Zhang Xiaohou?
”Mm!” Zhang Xiaohou nodded heavily.
”Let's head up,” said Li Man.
”Let's go.”
”It would be great if they were both dead...”

The trio quickly returned to the surface and ran toward the center of the swamp.
They could hear the great collisions between the two monsters from a good distance away. Mo Fan could not help but feel impressed by their vitality. They had spent quite a long time resting underground, and yet the two creatures were still fighting one another.
Suddenly, a giant limb the size of a tree slammed onto the ground in front of them.
They quickly reacted and dodged aside. The centipede's limb was fairly sharp. It looked like a giant scythe being hurled in their direction, leaving Zhang Xiaohou's heart racing wildly.
”The giant centipede only has six legs remaining!” Zhang Xiaohou pointed at the Giant Poisonous Centipede and blurted out with joy.
In the air above the swamp, the Giant Poisonous Centipede was wriggling its lengthy body nimbly as it flung its limbs hard at the Xuanwu Giant Lizard!
The Xuanwu Giant Lizard used the shell on its back as a shield. However, a huge crack had surfaced on the large shield, showing the outstanding power of the Giant Poisonous Centipede's move.
The Xuanwu Giant Lizard fell heavily into the swamp. The blow was fairly strong. It took the Xuanwu Giant Lizard quite some time to gather its feet...
