Chapter 22 - Under the Cliff (1/2)

Ye Shang knew that the skin of some monster beasts were very hard, and cleaving would be useless as it might end up ripping the skin only.

Understanding about the hardness of the skin, his next attack by the black iron spear finally made a wound appeared on the red tentacle.

The injured tentacle, however, did not release the white bird, but the other intact tentacle loosened the white bird and whipped at Ye Shang, getting a hold of his feet and before pulling him forward as well.

The two tentacles gripping Ye Shang and the white bird pulled forward, almost squeezing them together.

Ye Shang clenched the black iron spear with his right hand and stroked the red tentacle that entangled the white bird. At that moment, Ye Shang felt jittery in handling the red tentacle wrapped around his feet since he and the white bird were squeezed together, and there was no room for easing his hands to move around, he needed to liberate either one of them or both.

As Ye Shang continued to swing the black iron spear, the tentacle that constricted the white bird was finally almost cut off in the middle.

Like Ye Shang, the white bird was also struggling to free itself, so it could only bow its head and attack the red tentacle on Ye Shang’s feet.

Seeing the behavior of the white bird, Ye Shang was shocked since the white bird was showing its intellectual level, since it could easily make out that while Ye Shang meant no harm, the tentacle certainly posed the greater threat.

It understood that it was necessary to work together against this enemy of theirs.

Pulled by the red tentacles, they were dragged like a rag doll out of the woods to a place without any trees. As they slid faster, the red tentacle wrapped around the white bird’s claws was almost cut off by the continuous attacks from black iron spear.

However, as cunning as this monstrosity was, it decisively released the white bird to avoid being completely cut off by Ye Shang.

The white bird released from the bondage didn’t leave but continued to attack the red tentacle at Ye Shang’s feet with its sharp beak.

At that moment, Ye Shang’s expression changed he saw the red tentacle suddenly elongating, and the thickest part of it became as thick as a human head.

The red tentacle shook, drew a circle in the air, and wound around Ye Shang two more times. Moreover, as Ye Shang’s desperately tried to hold his fainting breath, he suddenly lost the grip of his spear as his arms were grabbed by that tentacle. One of the red tentacles continued to drag him towards the front, and the other was still attacking the white bird.

The white bird, however, shrewishly evaded the red tentacle while continuously trying to free Ye Shang of its death grip.

Cliff!

While Ye Shang was thinking about how to struggle out of it, a steep cliff appeared, which stunned Ye Shang.

He looked at the white bird that was still fighting and shouted, “I know you can understand my words, Leave! Hurry!”

Without reacting in anyway to what Ye Shang said, the white bird screamed before plunging its beak into the red tentacle wrapped around him.

Closer to the cliff, Ye Shang became insidiously calm since he concluded that perhaps he deserved it, since he chased after the white bird, but there was no reason for it to face the consequences with him.

He thus extended his left hand that wasn’t bound at the white bird and pushed it away with all his strength, “Go!”

The white bird was pushed aside by Ye Shang, but as it didn’t escape it was also grabbed by the other red tentacle and they were simultaneously pulled down the cliff.

As they were falling, Ye Shang discovered that the red tentacles were actually an Earth Dragon Worm!

The Earth Dragon Worms were also usually called Ghost Line, which was a very common monster beast not even qualified to be a demon.

Ordinary Earth Dragon Worms didn’t have much combat power and lived on the carrions of the animal bodies, so they rarely engaged in active attacks.

The biggest earthworm he had ever seen was only as thick as a thumb and was around only 5 feet long.

But this Earth Dragon Worm was too large, and its length could no longer be estimated, as the thickest part of its body was now already as thick as a human’s waist.

When they were falling, Ye Shang also suddenly understood why only two of the tentacles were running berserk since the rest of its tentacles were anchored on a cliff.

He saw an old tree on the cliff, and the body of the Earth Dragon Worm was actually stuck in the roots of the tree.
