Chapter 363 – Ground Magma (1/2)
While Fatty wasn’t acquainted with most of the players that had just arrived, he found them familiar as everyone had taken part in defending Hero City together.
Wild Dancing Wind’s words startled the leader of the other party. He immediately waved to stop the rest.
“Motherf*, we are still being respawned at the Death Altar!” Everyone turned pale upon realizing the situation.
After Wild Dancing Wind, the demons didn’t flock over to attack and instead remained on the spot eyeing the players intently, ready to strike once something went wrong.
“Come on, let’s get out of here.” Ignoring Wild Dancing Wind for now, this group of players immediately rushed towards the outside.
“Wait, why aren’t the demons attacking us?” Someone finally realized the disparity.
“That's because we are on the Death Altar. Leave its range, we’re as good as dead,” Wild Dancing Wind quickly replied to the topic.
As she finished talking, the demons around began to mobilize, causing these players to immediately believe what she had said.
Once they were out the altar territory, the Demon troops began an aggressive siege. Having no time to care about Wild Dancing Wind, the other group plunged into the nearby forest and quickly disappeared from sight.
“Well, let's go.” With a sigh of relief, Wild Dancing Wind took her party members towards the entrance to Heavens Scar.
“Wild Dancing Wind, River Scholar, and the Sun Dynasty people?” Fatty sneered. He again logged out and told Qian Xiaoqian about this.
The space barrier between two worlds cut off all communication, otherwise Fatty wouldn’t have to go offline to talk to Qian Xiaoqian.
Now that he had the location of the Death Altar, Fatty's tasks were mostly completed. Next on his list would only be private work.
Following West's instructions, Fatty traveled towards a grand canyon, wondering when West had come to the Demon world, because most of the small paths in the direction he had given Fatty were right on the mark.
The canyon was called the Groundrift Grand Canyon because it was full of rifts; the narrow ones only 2-3 meters wide and around 10 meters long while the big ones could reach 10 meters in width and several hundred meters in length. Without exception, every rift was bottomless.
Boas, vicious birds, Demonic apes, all sorts of Demonic creatures came and went from the rifts, running around and fighting each other. Occasionally there were a few blood-sucking maneater vines darting out from underground and coiling around Fatty. This was truly a zoo of Demonic monsters.
Whoosh! A Demonic vine as thick as a wrist suddenly shot out and wrapped around Fatty's calf. On the upper half, sharp spikes popped out to dip into his flesh.
With a flash of cold gleam, the Elemental Sword sliced the vine in half. The lower half quickly shrank back while the upper squirmed on the ground like a snake. Fatty picked up the fallen half and put it into his inventory. This was also a material.
The area West had shown Fatty directions to was deep in the canyon, but he hadn’t said anything about what was in it. Along the way, Fatty broke through various Demonic obstacles and acquired quite a variety of specialties before he finally arrived at the bottom of the canyon.
“Whew!” Fatty heaved a long sigh. The more he traveled, the more stronger monsters appeared. Up until the point he had no choice but to avoid confrontation and barely managed to pass through.
Appearing in front of Fatty at the moment was a giant scorpion, three meters tall and nearly ten meters long, pitch black with only a gold thread running from its head to its tail.
The tail hooked high up, the swaying pincers flashed with a metal luster, as the pair of eyes stared fixedly at Fatty, seemingly ready to pounce.
[Gold Thread Scorpion]
Advanced Demonic Yao boss
Level: 75
…
Notes: A creature that lives in the Groundrift Grand Canyon. Tyrannical and murderous, it attacks all creatures invading its territory.
“What exactly is in this place?” Fatty helplessly summoned the Violent Ox King, the two pets, and finally the Elemental Skill Book, getting ready to flee for his life.
A wisp of flame flew out from the scorpion’s mouth – it was unexpectedly a fire monster. Fatty moved the Elemental Skill Book to shield him. Upon contact, the flame was instantly absorbed by the book.
Fatty then controlled the Elemental Sword to fly at the Gold Thread Scorpion. The latter’s pincers reached out, wanting to trap the sword.
“Die!” Fatty shouted. The Elemental Sword suddenly split into five swords that aimed at the scorpion's eyes and mouth. With a shriek, the creature let out a loud roar as it grabbed two of them with its pincers, its tail swept away one, and its mouth bit on another. Only one word successfully penetrated its left eye.
The Gold Thread Scorpion roared in pain, and black blood flowed from its left eye. This sword was the Sword of Fire, not only blinding the eye but also gushing with fire energy that almost baked its head.
Hurriedly letting go of the two swords in its pincers, the scorpion tried to pull out the Sword of Fire. Fatty took this opportunity to summon back all five swords. At the same time, Wheat, Inky, and the Violent Ox King launched attacks.
