Chapter 301: Shuddering
Chapter 301 – Shuddering
“Up there?”
Chen Fei looked up at the Half Bottle Mountain that was hidden in the clouds and mist with a slight frown.
After giving the dark green stone to the Rat Demon to smell, the Rat Demon brought Chen Fei to the foot of Half Bottle Mountain after rolling around.
“Squeak!”
The rat demon nodded, its dark pupils looking at Chen Fei, asking for Chen Fei’s next instructions. The Rat Demon himself did not want to go up, Half Bottle Mountain was not only a forbidden place for those outside the Mysteries, but also for the creatures native to the Mysteries.
As a last resort, ordinary demonic beasts simply did not dare to take half a step beyond Half Bottle Mountain.
Chen Fei pondered for a moment and shook his head. There were definitely treasures on Half Bottle Mountain, this was something that was beyond doubt, but letting Chen Fei go up alone, that would be a little too dangerous.
The Half Bottle Mountain definitely needed to be gone, but it was possible to go up with the others so that even if there was danger, there would be someone to share the burden. Even if the gains would be thinly divided, it would still be worth it.
“Let’s go, go find spirit plants, especially those that help the mind grow.”
Chen Fei looked down at the rat demon, since he would not be going up to the Half Bottle Mountain for the time being, looking for more spirit plants turned out to be the thing to do at the moment.
“Zee!”
The Rat Demon nodded, his body transforming into a residual shadow as he rushed towards the front.
After Chen Fei had given some elixir supplements, the Rat Demon had displayed its amazing recovery ability. Even though its injuries were not completely healed now, in terms of speed, it was already around sixty to seventy percent of its original peak.
This kind of speed had already surpassed quite a few martial artists at the early stage of the Orifice Practicing Realm, after all, not all of the Orifice Practicing Realm could specialize in body techniques.
Chen Fei’s feet stepped and moved, easily following behind the rat demon, one person and one rat directly crossed a distance of tens of miles, and finally stopped in front of a swamp.
A hint of fishy-sweet flavor wafted in the air if anything, Chen Fei’s expression moved slightly, stretching out his right hand and unfolding it, a cyclone of qi coalescing in the position of his palm.
Wind Gathering Technique, the Grand Perfection level Wind Gathering Technique allowed Chen Fei to reach a point of ease in controlling the airflow within this range.
The originally colorless cyclone began to turn blacker and blacker as the surrounding air continued to be drawn in, and that fishy-sweet flavor became thicker and thicker all of a sudden.
The swamp was poisonous, and it was an extremely strong and intense poison, if an ordinary person came here, not enough for a few breaths, they would probably collapse and die. Even the Viscera Practicing Realm, which had quenched the five viscera and six bowels, would not be able to stay here for long.
Otherwise the speed of the viscera to carry the toxin, it is estimated that not as fast as the poisoning, and in the end, it may still be poisoned to death.
There were some traces of being trampled around the swamp, obviously someone had already come here, but after realizing that something was wrong, they immediately left.
“Zee!”
The rat demon hissed at the swamp, and the originally calm swamp began to fluctuate slightly, as if there was some kind of creature that had awakened with this lifelong hissing of the rat demon.
“What’s inside? A demonic beast or a demonic plant?”
Chen Fei sensed the fluctuation of the swamp, this swamp was somewhat special, blocking the probing of Chen Fei’s mind power, and it was extremely difficult to sense the things below.
The rat demon gestured for a while, Chen Fei hadn’t fully understood the meaning of the rat demon, a tentacle suddenly probed out from the swamp, lightning-like grabbed the rat demon as well as Chen Fei.
“Boom!”
The black barrier blocked the tentacle’s attack, and the sword power on the barrier flowed, directly recoiling the first half of the tentacle into two pieces, falling to the ground.
Chen Fei lowered his head to look down at the ground, the tentacle that had almost become mush, was still tossing around in the mud, and eventually moved to the swamp, where it disappeared into the swamp at once.
Chen Fei’s eyes slightly widened, this is what life force, this drilled into the swamp, is it possible to return to the body, to recover not?
“Zee!”
The rat demon made a jump and came to Chen Fei’s shoulder, its dark eyes looking at the fuming tentacles.
There was a good thing under the swamp, but alas, it was dominated by a demonic beast. The Rat Demon had come here a few times, but could not defeat the demonic beast under the swamp.
The rat demon was fast, had a decent attack power, and good recovery power, and amongst the demonic beasts, its talent definitely belonged to the good ones. But on the contrary, for the demonic beasts under the swamp, the Rat Demon had no solution at all.
There was even a time when the rat demon was almost directly dragged into the swamp and killed. Ever since that time, the rat demon never dared to come here again.
And now that he recognized Chen Fei as his master, Chen Fei asked to look for a spiritual plant, the rat demon did not hesitate to bring Chen Fei here, for the spiritual plant under the swamp, the rat demon had been thinking about it for a long time.
“Puh-puh-puh!”
The swamp made a dull sound, and three more tentacles flew out from under the swamp in succession. The surface of the tentacles were covered with mucus, and when one looked carefully, they were even covered with fine mouthparts, just staring at them made one shudder a little.
“Buzz!”
The original tentacle, wrapped around one of them, and the four tentacles flung themselves in mid-air, bringing with them a tremendous force, smashing towards Chen Fei. Before he even got close, the fishy-sweet flavor had already filled the surroundings.
Trees a little closer to here, covered by this sweet odor, bright green leaves turned yellow, and finally was burned out several black holes.
The trees around the swamp, for this kind of toxin’s resistance should be extremely high, but in the face of this kind of suddenly thick up the poison, also can’t resist at once.
“Boom!” The four tentacles smashed onto the barrier in front of Chen Fei in no particular order, the barrier trembled slightly, and a force of recoil hit the tentacles in the same direction.
This was the principle of the Starry Night Sword Shield and Thorn Sword, and although Chen Fei did not intentionally utilize it now, this grand completion sword stance had long been incorporated into his bone marrow.
At the right time, it would be naturally executed, sometimes not even wanting the brain to give any instructions, the body had already taken the first step to execute it on its own.
These four tentacles smashed heavy, the force of being recoiled was also heavy, just as the result of the first tentacle just now, the four tentacles directly broke, spewing out mucus, falling to the ground.
The fishy-sweet smell in the air became even more intense, and the earth and rocks on the ground had already begun to emit a subtle sound, which was being corroded.
The four broken tentacles flung in mid-air, and then retracted into the swamp at once. The entire swamp began to shake violently, hundreds of meters in a circle were shaking, the flying birds not far away lifted their wings and flew away, desperately trying to get away from here.
“Squeak!”
The rat demon gently scratched the clothes on Chen Fei’s shoulders, reminding Chen Fei to pay attention. Chen Fei nodded slightly, this demonic beast underneath, it was estimated that it was going to move for real.
“Boom!”
Suddenly, the entire swamp exploded at once, and countless black mud flew in all directions, as if the sky was raining black rain.
A large figure raised its body from below the swamp, Chen Fei looked up and what met his eyes was an incredibly large mouthpiece hissing up to the sky.
Around this huge mouthpiece, there were tentacles all over. Not only around the mouthpiece, at the moment, this demonic beast’s entire body was covered with it, as if it was covered in fluff.
At a glance, this demonic beast looked very much like an earthworm, but it was an enlarged version, and it had also mutated.
“Roar!”
Accompanied by a roar, the huge mouthparts suddenly lunged at Chen Fei, and before it even got close, a sickening odor came to the surface. At this moment, this flavor, compared to the kind of fishy-sweet smell just now, the fishy-sweet smell was a little bit refreshing.
“Boom!”
Just like the earth’s dragons tumbling and an earthquake occurring, the ground directly disappeared a section at the location where this earthworm monster impacted. A part of it was collapsed by the impact, and another part went into the earthworm monster’s mouthpiece.
The sound of grinding resounded, countless gear-like teeth crisscrossing back and forth, even if steel entered this kind of mouth, I’m afraid that it would have to be crushed in a matter of moments, and there would be no second possibility.
Chen Fei’s figure appeared in mid-air, looking down at the earthworm monster. At this moment, the earthworm monster’s body that was exposed outside the swamp was already tens of meters long, and under the swamp, this earthworm monster still had a body that was not exposed.
“Bring the spirit plant, I’ll stall it!”
Chen Fei casually threw the rat demon towards the swamp, and the rat demon adjusted its posture in mid-air and disappeared into a black light.
The earthworm monster seemed to notice the abnormality, and was just about to capture the rat demon, when suddenly a black sword formation enveloped the earthworm monster, and a powerful force field pressed down on the earthworm monster at once.
However, compared to the Earthworm Monster’s ponderous body, this suddenly appearing force field only caused the Earthworm Monster’s body to slightly pause for a moment, after which it had no effect.
“Boom!”
The sixty sword beads collided with the tentacles on the Earthworm Monster’s body, and the tentacles appeared to be a bit unbeatable, and were directly smashed by the sword beads. However, those shattered tentacles, in falling, after landing on the Earthworm Monster itself, directly merged into the body.
And those broken tentacles recovered again in a few breaths, replenishing the broken parts, not even a single wound remained.
However, the sword bead’s attack, obviously the earthworm monster completely angered, the huge body all of a sudden upright, the body shell began to shrink, the luster darkened, the hardness instantly raised a few chips.
Those tentacles were also not floating around, but turned into lines, tightly adhering to the surface of the earthworm monster’s body. A thick and depressing atmosphere filled the surroundings, making people unable to help but tremble in their hearts.
“Boom boom boom!”
The surface of the earthworm monster’s body struck by the sword beads actually only made a dull sound without breaking the earthworm monster’s shell. Those tentacles that had turned into ripples, after being attacked, softened at once and absorbed the power.
“Snort!”
The Earthworm Monster’s huge mouthpiece was aimed at Chen Fei, a huge suction force was instantly generated, flying sand and stones, the dirt and trees around Chen Fei, all flew towards the Earthworm Monster’s mouthpiece, and were shredded by the countless sharp teeth in the mouthpiece.
“Congeal!”
Chen Fei looked at the earthworm monster’s mouthpiece, Qian Yuan Sword pointed forward, sixty sword beads dissipated at once, transforming into a huge column of black light, bombarding the earthworm monster’s mouthpiece.
“Boom!”
The earthworm monster’s majestic suction force was directly interrupted, but Chen Fei’s move of attack did not cause any major damage to the earthworm monster either. Obviously, the mouthparts were the strongest part of the Earthworm Monster’s entire body, and an idle attack would not be able to do anything about it at all.
“Zee!”
The voice of the Rat Demon suddenly rang out, a black shadow flashed, and the Rat Demon landed on Chen Fei’s shoulder, and its hand was grasping a lotus flower.
