Splash!
An endless array of red spiders, large as washbasins, tumble from the sky like hail, attacking Xu Mu, who is on the ground.
Xu Mu on the ground has no place to dodge and is swiftly coated in a dense layer of spiders, forming a small hump of piled up arachnids.
The next moment, an abundance of purple lightning flares, instantly turning the dense spiders into charred cinders.
The power of these red spiders isn’t great, fluctuating between tier two and three, just a bit stronger than the bird-tailed bees Xu Mu had just encountered.
Facing Xu Mu, a Golden Core Stage master, they are naturally no match at all.
In a normal situation, such a heavy blow would have led this monster beast horde to flee in defeat.
However, the spiders before Xu Mu’s eyes are all eroded by killing intent, they don’t know the meaning of fear. Xu Mu’s attack not only failed to scare them away but instead fully enraged them.
Their original washbasin-sized bodies quickly inflated, their red-brown shells turned blood-red, as if they were each packed with a bag full of fresh blood.
These transformable spiders charged at Xu Mu once again.
Xu Mu quickly releases the Purple Cloud Scarf, forming a purple barrier around his body.
The next moment, these red spiders drop down. Before Xu Mu can make an attack, the spiders explode like bombs, spewing red fluid everywhere.
Any object affected by the red fluid starts to melt like it’s splashed with sulfuric acid, emitting waves of red smoke.
Being the focal point of the attack, Xu Mu’s is virtually drowned by this red fluid.
The purple barrier flashes incessantly, and the spiritual power attached to it is rapidly depleted.
“A group of tier two and three monster beasts, can even affect a tier seven weapon. This fluid is extraordinary!”
Xu Mu can’t help exclaiming.
“Any creature that can survive here isn’t simple. Plus, they have a lot of killing intent in their bodies. They aren’t ordinary monster beasts,” replied the puppet cat dryly.
“You’re right!”
Xu Mu originally intended to capture a few to cultivate. After all, monster beasts that could cause Foundation Establishment Stage damage during the Qj Refinement Stage are rare. But considering the killing intent in their bodies, he chose to give up.
The difficulty of taming these monster beasts full of killing intent is too high.
These red spiders fearlessly continue to launch attacks at him.
Xu Mu does not want to entangle with them, so he transforms into an escape light and flies forward. The next moment, he feels layers of resistance appearing onto his body, as if something in the void exists.
“It’s spider silk!”
The puppet cat reminds him.
The light in Xu Mu’s eyes flashes, he captures a flying spider, injects a large amount of spiritual power into its body, and throws it forward.
The next moment, the spider explodes with a bang, and its red fluid is scattered everywhere.
Under the color of this fluid, the once empty void shows thumb-thick spider silk, attached to the surrounding tree branches, almost covering the surrounding space.
“This spider silk would definitely be topping the list in robe-making materials! Such a waste!”
Xu Mu sighs, squeezes the Finger Jue, condenses a mass of green flame, and throws it forward.
Puff!
Transparent spider silk stained with green flames ignited rapidly and quickly spreads around.
The red spiders immediately give up their chase of Xu Mu, throw themselves on the flames, and stop the spread of the fire.
Taking this opportunity, Xu Mu transforms into a purple escape light, shooting up to the sky and swiftly leaving this area.
Not long after his escape light flight, a horde of creatures that look like octopuses, with lots of tentacles and covered in thick hair, floating in the air like fish, blockXu Mu’s way.
Upon sensing Xu Mu’s presence, the monsters swiftly lunged at him without hesitation.
These are free-floating beasts with parasitic capabilities. Once fully mature, they wield a tier-four strength. If they latch onto you, they’re as unshakeable’ as bone maggots!”
The puppet cat quickly warned.
This was the first time Xu Mu had seen the puppet cat so agitated.
Out of caution, he swiftly flew towards the ground to dodge the onslaught of the floating beasts.
After descending, he immediately employed the Earth Escape Skill, hiding underground.
Once the floating beasts reached the ground, they lost his scent and started searching around.
It was then that a monster beast, with a face like a man and the body of a wild boar, staggered out from a distant grove.
The floating beasts were immediately drawn to it, lunging towards it.
Despite being at tier four, the boar monster beast was helpless against the floating beasts. Wrapped around like an octopus, the beasts entered its body through various openings.
The boar monster beast thrashed about, letting out heartbreaking cries, yet unable to stop their intrusion.
However, it seemed the floating beasts had no intention of killing it. They burrowed into its body and soon reemerged, flying back into the sky.
Like it had been played with until exhaustion, the boar monster beast staggered to its feet, took a few steps, then toppled heavily onto the ground. It lay there wailing, its human-like face contorted in pain.
Just then, Xu Mu crawled out from the ground and quickly approached the monster beast.
Observing the wriggling tentacles inside the beast’s belly, Xu Mu had a rough idea of what had transpired.
“Its body has been parasitized by the free-floating beasts. Soon, the little floating beasts in its belly will grow and break out of its body,” the puppet cat explained.
Xu Mu used his magic sword to cut open the beast’s belly. Inside the bloody mess of organs, several palm-sized, slippery, eight-tentacle creatures squirmed.
Slightly repulsed, Xu Mu swung a bolt of lightning, killing both the octopus-like creatures and the boar monster beast.
If these free-floating beasts reproduce and grow this rapidly, won’t they overrun the entire forest?” Xu Mu wondered.
“Not quite!”
The puppet cat licked its paw and continued, “These free-floating beasts are weak before adulthood, and without a host, most are eaten by various monsters. Only a select few survive, and they live for just a few years before they perish.”
“I see!”
Xu Mu looked at the puppet cat and asked, “Senior, have you been here before?”
“No! The Master told me!”
The puppet cat yawned, curling up and sticking tightly to Xu Mu’s shoulder.
Seizing the opportunity, Xu Mu stealthily stroked it. It shot him a cold glance, but did not resist.
Probably because he’d been agreeably carrying it around.
Xu Mu didn’t have the mood to study the floating beast’s offspring. Holding a Spirit Stone in his hand, he simultaneously recharged his Spiritual Power and rushed along the path shown on the jade map.
Odd and peculiar monsters unavoidably encountered them along the way.
Due to the monsters’ increased aggression from the evil energy, Xu Mu, despite his best efforts to avoid them, consumed a lot of Spirit Stones.
Once this ordeal was over, if there was no compensation, he’d suffer a great loss.
Perhaps the only gain was that the puppet cat was now unresponsive to his strokes.
As they got closer to their destination, Xu Mu found an open area, placed a Defensive Array, and decided to rest for a while before setting off again.
He wasn’t sure how much time had passed while he was meditating, when suddenly, he smelled a faintly sweet scent. frёeωebɳovel.com
He woke up abruptly and immediately held his breath.
