Chapter 462 One vs Four (1/2)
A huge black claw ripped through the canopy, leaving a scorched claw mark in the air. The smell of burning filled the air, while the claw was now moments away from reaching Da Zi's abdomen.
Sparks flew out as Da Zi's electric scales came in contact with the extreme heat. Loud pops sounded, followed by an enraged roar that tore through the silence in the air above the forest.
The huge claw collided with Da Zi's abdomen. The centipede's Level 4 Bone Harden ability allowed its abdominal scales to reach maximum Lord-tier hardness. Upon collision, the claw exploded into a fine black mist.
Through the broken canopy, Gao Peng and the others could see their attackers as clear as day. Masked men clad entirely in black and dispersed across the forest floor were staring at him. Their familiars were right beside them, either standing or sitting.
The black human-like creature was standing at the forefront. Its arms were as thick as logs, both of which ended with a pair of razor-sharp claws. Beneath its hairless scalp was a horribly disfigured face, devoid of all emotion.
”You dare to ambush the great Merciful Liberator?!” growled Da Zi, narrowing its eyes at its attacker. Wind and lightning began gathering around it. Its golden purple Lord-tier aura was now shining down on the forest floor.
”Just you guys?” asked Gao Peng, sweeping his gaze over the group of masked men. Frowning, he scanned the forest floor in anticipation of more of them. It didn't feel good to be underestimated.
An inexplicable feeling of irritation came over the group of masked men. So what if it's just us? You don't even have your King-tier familiar with you. We're more than enough to take you on! Everyone is born equal. No need to feel all high and mighty. I don't believe even you could survive having your head ripped off of your shoulders!
A gray storm began brewing in the depths of the forest. A strange black crow with three eyes on its head had spread out its wings. Countless smaller crows swirled around it, filling the air with a cacophony of crows and squawks. An inauspicious atmosphere had fallen upon the forest.
A tree suddenly shook in a corner. A huge tail swept across the forest floor, felling every tree in its way. A massive scorpion lay splayed on the ground, its eyes a dark green shade and its body seemingly metallic. Its tail was aimed upward like an anti-aircraft gun, with red-hot plasma slowly building on the tip.
An expansive Plant-type monster was spread out across the ground in another corner like a mat of moss. After consuming and digesting the plants beneath it, the constantly squirming fungus mat spat out three thick bundles of spores at the Three-Eyed Crow General, the Radioactive Scorpion, and the Infernal Incinerator.
Gao Peng was now surrounded by four Lord-tier familiars. It seems like these people have trained their familiars well. He calmly scanned through all four familiars' stat sheets, betraying no sign of panic on his face.
