Chapter 33 - Tree Monster (1/2)

Such a keen awareness from that human brat, what's with that quick response!

Tens of miles away from Zhong Yue, the earth cracked open and a huge serpent head unburrowed out from it, it shrunk down, and a young maiden with a serpent's head walked out, she swung her hands and destroyed the hole to cover up her tracks. She was the Junior Martial Sister Yu of the monster race.

The speed of his sword was quick, so fast that I can't even react to it, if I didn't twist my body in time, I would have been slashed into half!

Junior Martial Sister Yu lifted her hands and touched her serpent neck. A wound that reached so deep into her bones with blood flowing out could be seen. It clearly showed how fast and strong the sword Zhong Yue slashed was!

That brat is not weak at all, but I'm only wounded because he had the advantage and the element of surprise. And also the lady in black, she seems to be the leader of the group, could she be stronger than that brat? The others are merely wimps, but these two, I must know what the duo is capable of, knowing your own strength and that of the enemy is the sure way to victory…

The human-faced serpent head Junior Martial Sister Yu calmed down. Her eyes glimmered in demonic flashes. She only suffered some losses at this small encounter with Zhong Yue, but she retreated anyway because she was fearful of Yu Feiyan. In her eyes, Yu Feiyan was the leader of the group of disciples; even Zhong Yue couldn't be the leader, sure enough, Yu Feiyan would be stronger than him.

Zhong Yue was already this strong, and if Yu Feiyan were stronger than him, then she would definitely lose if she faced those two formidable opponents alone. Retreat was the best option.

Alright, I will let the little toys of Beast God Ridge have fun with you humans, let's dig out the strength of the lady in black!

The demonic flashes in Junior Martial Sister Yu's eyes glimmered even more eerily, she gave out a shrill whistle and not long after there were muffled howls and roars coming from the Beast God Ridge, Junior Martial Sister Yu then dashed into the deepest part of the ridge.

At the same time, Lei Gun of Lei Hu Clan and Li Xiuniang of Li Shan Clan were both ambushed by the monster beasts to test their strengths. When Lei Gun and Li Xiuniang both showed their ability to materialize their visualizations, the monster race's Senior Martial Brother Xiong and Gongyang held back and avoided immediate confrontation.

This is not the place yet, if any one of them escapes, they will spoil teacher's plan! Wait until when they enter deeper into the Beast God Ridge, then they can be freshly served on the dining table!

While Zhong Yue, Yu Feiyan, and the others continued pushing deeper into the Beast God Ridge. They had met with various kinds of monster beasts along the length of their journey, the monster beasts in the Beast God Ridge were all humongous. Sometimes there would be a giant crocodile jumping out from the swamp, over two hundred over feet with impenetrable skin, and sometimes there would be a huge fish leaping out from the lake trying to devour them.

Even the birds in the skies were gigantic, with a wingspan of over a hundred feet, the wind it displaced with every flap of its wing threatened to blow the disciples away!

There were some other strange and odd beasts, such as giant spiders that crawled out of nowhere, spurted spiderwebs and pulled one of the female disciples back to its cave. When Yu Feiyan and the others rushed over to save her, the giant spider was just about to lay its eggs into the stomach of the young lady.

"Junior Martial Sister Rou'er, you have to more cautious, try not to get dragged away by spiders again."

The martial sisters teased her, "You are in bad luck, the last time you were nearly swollen away by the huge mountain earthworm."

Junior Martial Sister Rou'er was still shuddering in fright, she smiled and assured, "It is only a coincidence, how will be there the third time? The next time a spider dares to come near me, I will beat the teeth out of its mouth… Aiya!"

Before her words finished—Hu—a sudden gale of wind blew past and she flew up into the sky with her body upended toward a giant tree.

"The third time came so quickly…"

The girls were in shock, the giant tree's crown covered a radius of a hundred mus, it's thick roots and large branches rippled like water waves toward them.

"Man-eating tree!"

Ting Lanyue exclaimed out in fear, she quickly visualized the fire and immediately the air around turned burning hot, the other young ladies all followed suit and visualized the fire. But it was useless, the branches and roots, as if impervious to the burning heat, penetrated through the fire to grip the ladies by their ankles to drag them back to the tree trunk.

There was a small mountain of dead carcasses littered around the tree trunk. They were all victims of the man-eating tree!

Yu Feiyan murmured, and wings appeared on her back, she quickly flew up into the sky and was just able to take out her soul weapon when the tree branches gripped and pulled her in, even a giant eagle that was intending to feed on Yu Feiyan was also dragged along.

Seeing the tree branches jabbing toward Zhong Yue, the young ladies shouted out loud, "Junior Martial Brother Zhong, leave now!"

The next moment, Zhong Yue was tied tightly together with the young ladies.

"Jiao Dragon Totem!"

Zhong Yue chanted deeply, a Jiao Dragon surrounded by thunderous lightning flew out from between his brows and encircled the giant tree.

"Lightning burst!"

Zhong Yue released a roaring sound and the thunderous lightning force within the Jiao Dragon totem erupted instantly, the tree branches and roots were electrocuted by the lightning force, freeing the young ladies from its hold. The young ladies were overjoyed, and they immediately ran as far as they could.

After fleeing for a few miles, they turned their head to see that the giant tree 'stood up' on its roots and moved toward them.

Again they quickly ran away from it, and the giant tree was too cumbersome to catch up to them. It was enraged, and it randomly flogged the surroundings in anger.
