Chapter 32 - Roaring Thunder Sword (2/2)
Yu Feiyan shouted, stretched out her hands and the swans she visualized flew out and severed the tentacles with their wings. The girl who had her head and upper body wrapped in the tentacles took the chance and quickly escaped.
Ting Lanyue used some water to help her wash off the stains, and at the same time, the other girls shouted, "Many of our totem pillars have been swallowed!"
"There's the huge mountain worm and Feiyi Snakes again!"
The ground swelled, and more tentacles flew out from the ground and previously fleeing Feiyi Snakes had returned. They opened up their huge mouths and pounced toward the girls!
Yu Feiyan's face changed quickly, and she shouted, "You girls deal with the Feiyi Snakes, I'll take care of the huge mountain worm…"
Before she finished her sentence, the ground began trembling vigorously again, and the roar of thunder could be heard underground as Zhong Yue stomped his leg very hard onto the ground!
Boom!
The ground cracked open, and a fissure of about six to seven feet appeared. A colossal meatball could be seen flying out from the crevice and smoke could be seen exuding out from its black coked body.
The burnt meatball was at least about fifty to sixty feet, and it had a myriad of tentacles growing on its body. However, its formerly grotesquely writhing appendages were now condemned to eternal silence as the existence that controlled it was exterminated by the thunder!
At the same time, thunder roared across the sky and transformed into Sword Qi before filling up the entire area with immense lightning Sword Qi and striking down onto the few hundreds Feiyi Snakes.
The over thirty girls immediately looked at Zhong Yue and saw him hold and place his sword scabbard in front of him. There was no trace of the sword being removed from the scabbard. It was only his psyche that was used to activate [Spring Thunderbolt Sword Skill].
While under his feet, a huge dragon claw could be seen, as if a Jiao Dragon had walked over the place he was standing.
So strong….
The girls gasped, and Yu Feiyan glanced at Zhong Yue and thought, Is Shui Qinghe that strong as well? If he really is that strong, I'm afraid I will not be able to beat him…
Ting Lanyue raised her head and looked at the huge meatball while she said in shock, "So this is how a huge mountain worm looks like? Our totem pillars are still in its stomach, should we open up the stomach and retrieve our totem pillars?"
"The huge mountain worms have a strong digestive system, which allows them to travel underground, devouring everything in its path. The totem pillars are made of wood. They should've long been digested in its stomach by now."
Yu Feiyan recollected her thoughts and said, "If Rou'er were completely swallowed by it just now, we wouldn't even have been able to recover her remains at all."
That Junior Martial Sister Rou'er had a scare and forced herself to calm down.
Suddenly, Zhou Yue could feel something very far away from them, and he could see a huge pink effluvium floating far away from them. He frowned and murmured, "Unsheath!"
Da——
His Dragon Blood Sword Scabbard suddenly opened up, and a jet black sword ray sliced through the air and flew a few miles away.
Yu Feiyan and the others were shocked by Zhong Yue's action and quickly looked toward that direction, and they saw the mushroom-shaped effluvium had been pierced thoroughly by the sword ray before it dispersed. Then, the sword ray returned, and rainwater started pouring down from the pierced effluvium, but there was no trace of rain on the sword.
The rainwater then suddenly disappeared as if it were never there in the first place.
The Dragon Scale Sword returned, and Zhong Yue held onto the hilt. Blood stains could be seen on the sword as he managed to injure a living being that was hiding within the effluvium.
"Senior Martial Sister Yu, there is something wrong here. The attack of Feiyi Snakes and the huge mountain worm was aiming at our totem pillars instead of us. I think they had a clear target which was to destroy our phoenix totem array! Do the ordinary monster beasts have such high intelligence?"
Zhong Yue flicked his fingers on his Dragon Scale Sword and shook off all the blood stains on the sword before sheathing it back into the scabbard. He continued saying, "Besides, I could feel someone secretly observing us, and I attacked at the same direction. The blood stain here could explain that there is someone who is manipulating the monsters behind this attack!"
Yu Feiyan frowned, and Ting Lanyue nodded while saying, "It is indeed bizarre. The strength of these monsters is also much stronger than before."
"Anyhow, everyone must be more careful from now on."
Yu Feiyan said, "Some strange things are going on in the Beast God Ridge. I suggest that we explore part of the ridge and we will escape on Tao-tao's rainbow clouds if things go beyond our control!"
Tao-tao nodded seriously as Yu Feiyan was talking.
The girls then kept the totem pillars and walked forward. Not long after, they reached the place where the pink effluvium was just now. Perforations about the size of a fist could be seen everywhere around. They were formed by the rainwater from the effluvium just now!
"Such poisonous rainwater, capable of corroding the rocks and soil to this degree!"
Yu Feiyan was shocked, and she received another shock as she could see a huge hole reaching deep into the underground. There were also blood stains splattered about the entrance of the hole. Obviously, the living being injured by Zhong Yue burrowed and escaped into the hole.
However, the huge hole also indicated that the fled living being was also incredibly huge!
