115 The Parasite Species Has Gone Insane (1/2)
Charcoal flapped its wings, propelling its huge body up to the upper spaces of the cave. Charcoal then darted down on the blood-colored vine with claws extended and a deafening roar.
As soon as the roar was heard, the blood-colored vine trembled a little in what seemed like fear. Soon, it entered a defensive state.
It resembled a lair infested with giant pythons. It was unwilling to let go of the energy sphere at all cost.
”Both of them are bronze-level rank-3's and have mutated twice but, Charcoal as a dragonkin will probably be a lot stronger than the parasites!” Lin Huang thought. He was confident of Charcoal's abilities.
As Charcoal flapped its wings and stopped mid-air upon its descent, it spat its Black Dragon Flames towards the vines.
Right when the vine was tainted by dragonflame, the body of the blood-colored vine turned black. It then growled from the pain it suffered and began rolling on the ground.
”Did the dragonflame just work?!” Lin Huang's eyes brightened as the parasite seemed to be pinned down by Charcoal.
Fire element monsters were the natural enemies of most plant-based monsters, let alone a dragonkin who could spit dragon flames.
Soon, he noticed that the burned, black patches on the blood-colored vine were slowly recovering on its own. It had completely recovered at a speed that was visible to the naked eye. Lin Huang frowned.
”This monster has an abnormally fast ability to heal…” He thought.
The parasite species was completely pinned down by Charcoal at first as the dragonflame hurt it quite significantly, causing it great pain. Moreover, black scars were left on the surface of the monster even after it healed. The vine was afraid of Charcoal but was not actually injured by it.
However, as soon as the wounds had recovered, it seemed to have realized that Charcoal could do it no harm and it had become more courageous.
Charcoal had been attacking it all the while and now it was about to counterattack.
Its attack pattern was the same, as he expected. It was trying to use its vines to hit and trap Charcoal in any way it could. Charcoal easily dodged its attacks and it was not a threat at all.
Both of them entered a stalemate; Charcoal could not cause any significant damage and the defense of the blood-colored vine rendered Charcoal's attacks useless as well. However, it had no means of retreating at all.
”If this continues, I wonder how long they would have to fight to know the results of this battle,” Lin Huang thought. He frowned, looking at the battle between them. However, he did not help to attack.
The reason why Lin Huang did not attack the vine was simple. Since Charcoal's ability was not able to hurt the parasite at all, Lin Huang's attack would not have any effect on it as well.
He clearly knew that once he was involved in the fight, he would instantly become the target of the parasite. If this many leech pods were released in such an enclosed space, he would have nowhere to hide. The attack would definitely hit and infect him.
Fortunately, it seemed that the parasite species did not notice the presence of Lin Huang. It did not care so much as it had to defend itself against Charcoal.
Despite Charcoal attacking the vine nonstop, the parasite did not seem to intend on leaving the place at all and insisted on guarding the spherical energy object.
Soon, half an hour had passed. Lin Huang had reached the time limit set for the transformation. His body appeared on the ground in human form.
At that moment, Xiao Hei's voice was heard.
”We have been discovered,” it said.
”How could it be? Didn't you say that we will not be discovered as long as we are 100 meters away from them?” Lin Huang asked as he felt it was strange that Xiao Hei could have been mistaken.
”It's not my problem. Your aura is dissipating,” Goldfinger said to him.
