Chapter 23 – Three Emperor of the Moon Castle (1/2)
Gu Luo was feeling elated, the flag on top of the two ships belonged to their clan, they avoided the vicious beast just in time. However, his jubilation didn’t last for long. A tremendous roar was transmitted from the depths of the ocean, causing the seawater to rumble. The ocean was cleaved in half as the colossal monster approached the ships!
The crews discovered the crisis and accelerated their ships, approaching the shore at high-speed. However, even though the ancient beast was far away, its speed was really too fast! It was already in front of them when their ships were still hundreds of meters away from the shore.
“BOOM!”
The enormous body collided with two big ships in a split second, the sharp horn, the sinister giant head, the sword-like teeth, and its body which was flickering with silvery light, it looked like a leviathan as it destroyed the ships.
Everyone was scared shitless!
Gu Luo’s complexion paled to the extreme.
The Eight-Clawed Tyrant Dragon summoned a tsunami, two ships were destroyed in the blink of an eye, hundreds of crew perished in this vast body of water. The warriors sent by Gu Luo Clan to investigate the island was on the verge of destruction.
However, the ancient dragon didn’t even bother take a second glance at the ant-like tiny life form. It doesn’t even care about the crew after destroying the ships, it merely summoned huge waves unceasingly.
A lot of crews were sucked into the giant whirlpool and drowned in the seabed eternally. However, there were still around forty to fifty crews who successfully escaped to the seaside. It could even be said they gained a second life after the calamity.
In the end, only forty three people made it to the shore, the rest of them were completely annihilated, it was a tragic disaster. The survivors could be regarded as the strongest amongst them. Originally, Gu Luo was in despair, but he felt slightly relieved after seeing less than half of the survivors.
After taking enough time to rest and reorganize the crew, Gu Luo and Zhao Lin Er started to go after Xiao Chen.
Initially, it was as Xiao Chen had predicted, they tracked down the ‘clues’ he left behind on purpose.
Just when these people entered a damp and gloomy rocky hill, a three to four meter long silver centipede with body as thick as a bowl, lunged at them with lightning speed. It tore apart two of the frontmost warriors in a flash. Furthermore, three other warriors were corroded by the toxic and turned into bones!
The swords only generated countless sparks when they made contact with the silver centipede, it wasn’t able to harm the giant centipede at all. Even when Gu Luo used the “Divine Sword Attack Scroll”, the centipede did not receive any damage. Finally, only after a terrifying scroll with raging flames was unfolded did the silver centipede flinched. It was able to escape from the numerous talented figures.
Zhao Lin Er and Gu Luo finally noticed that they were tricked by Xiao Chen, they started to calculate the precise location where Xiao Chen might have escaped.
The sun was scorching hot, but the murderous aura in the primitive forest makes one tremble in fear!
The deathly swamp was still as gloomy as before, the giant trees blocked the sunlight, and dense negative energies lingered on. Xiao Chen was sleeping on top of an ancient tree, he was severely frightened by the three human skeletons the moment he woke up. They were hanging upside down like a bat right in front of him!
How would someone who were just fast asleep react when the first thing they saw after opening their eyes were three skeletons hanging upside down?
Fortunately, he became clear-headed soon and didn’t take any drastic action.
The sole of the skeletons’ foot were stuck deeply in the tree trunk. When they noticed that Xiao Chen was awake, the radiance in their eye sockets started to flash. It seemed like they were also resting earlier.
“Snap! Snap!” The snapping sounds were generated by the joints. The three human skeletons fell on the tree trunk as they moved every parts of their joints unceasingly.
Xiao Chen felt somewhat speechless, his own kind in the distant place wanted to kill him, however the three human skeletons nearby wanted to get along with him instead…… that was indeed somewhat ridiculous!
