Chapter 2272 Maggot Shadow
(4, 0);
A thick aura of death emanated from the whale's body, which was so thick that it turned into a solid black gas, floating around the whale's body like water grass. [sto. ＣＯＭ, read the chapter without error]
Seeing this scene, even the knowledgeable Lin Yue was a little dumbfounded.
"How on earth do these creatures survive...?"
It was a little hard for him to imagine how this whale, which was hundreds of feet long and nearly half the width of the river, could survive in this river with no living creatures.
Suddenly, a chilling thought emerged in Lin Yue's mind.
Could it be that the strong aura of death on this whale Kun all came from the creatures that originally existed in this river?
After all, according to the map of the Northern Desert Gathering Area from decades ago, there were still a large number of ferocious beasts in this river, but now not a single one has appeared...
In addition, the death energy will only be born in places where a large number of living beings have died, which further verifies Lin Yue's speculation.
The ferocious beasts that were originally recorded on the map have now probably turned into dry bones in the belly of the whale. Because it has devoured too many living creatures, its body has been assimilated and corroded by the death energy.
All doubts were answered, but Lin Yue's expression was not very good.
He didn't expect that such a horrible creature would appear in the first place he chose.
Suddenly, Lin Yue noticed that the whale Kun that had swam in front of him seemed to stop for a moment. Just as he frowned slightly, wisps of deathly air actually emerged from the river under the control of the whale Kun and attacked him!
"It can actually control this death energy subjectively..." Lin Yue said in surprise.
Originally, he just thought that the death energy on the whale Kun came from the beasts it devoured, but he didn't expect that this had actually become a means of attack for it...
Lin Yue tiptoed up from the ground beside the river, dodging the tentacle-like wisps of deathly aura, and a hint of hostility appeared in his eyes.
Originally he had given up the idea of choosing this place as his base, but the sudden attack from the whale Kun made him think of another possibility.
If he gets rid of this whale, doesn't that mean there will be no other dangers in the river?
Although the death energy can harm the human body and make the place unsuitable for living, as long as all traces of the death energy are removed after the battle, there will no longer be any threat near the river.
Thinking of this, Lin Yue made a prompt decision and rushed to the river. Facing the numerous deathly auras attacking him, Lin Yue did not retreat but advanced instead, holding the Emperor Sword tightly in his hand and swinging it to create sword shadows!
Chi Chi Chi——
The thick deathly aura of the whale Kun was still not enough in front of Lin Yue. It was instantly destroyed by the sword intent he displayed and dissipated directly in the air.
Lin Yue raised his hand and shot out a milky white ball of light. It was a spell containing the power of revival. It penetrated the surface of the river and stabbed towards the body of Whale Kun!
Phew!
As Lin Yue expected, since Whale Kun has mastered the use of death energy, it will naturally be afraid of the natural enemy of death energy, that is, the power of resuscitation.
Seeing the power of recovery begin to spread on the surface of the whale Kun, dyeing it white, Lin Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"It really works!"
The next moment, the huge body of the whale Kun surged in the river, as if it was enduring great pain, and continuously splashed the river water towards the shore, causing a huge noise.
Lin Yue watched all this coldly, his heart remaining calm.
Suddenly, the Whale Kun's body trembled and it stopped moving. The next moment, a dark shadow emerged from its body. The deathly aura emanating from it made Lin Yue, who felt it, frown immediately.
"This deathly aura is several times stronger than before. What exactly is the shadow that came out of its body?" Lin Yue murmured with a serious expression.
Soon, the dark shadow revealed its entire body, showing its true appearance.
Like a giant maggot, it made people unconsciously feel disgusted, and black water condensed from death was constantly dripping from its body.
After the shadow of the maggot left the body of the whale Kun, the whale Kun turned into a motionless corpse, and the deathly aura on its body also disappeared.
Lin Yue then realized that the source of the death energy was not the whale, but the phantom of the maggot that was parasitic in its body. Moreover, from its appearance, it could be seen that the death energy had become an integral part of the phantom.
Whoosh——
Suddenly, countless deathly tentacles that were somewhat similar to the previous ones emerged from the maggot phantom's body and rushed towards Lin Yue frantically.
Two blood-red eyes also lit up on the maggot's phantom, staring at Lin Yue.
Suddenly, a powerful aura of death descended from the sky, as if Lin Yue was stuck in a quagmire, and his movements became slow.
“Ahem…”
Lin Yue, choked by the deathly aura, coughed a few times and was a little surprised. The strength of this maggot phantom was even stronger than the only two quasi-emperors in this nameless domain. If he had not come in person today, no one would have been able to discover its true appearance.
Even if it could be discovered, it would have become a part of its dead aura and would have no chance to speak again.
But it was too naive to think that they could take his life just like that. Lin Yue's eyes instantly turned cold!
Buzz Buzz—— (5,0);
A powerful sword force rose from his body, causing the surrounding space to vibrate slightly and pieces of gravel to roll on the ground.
A sword force field seemed to form around Lin Yue.
Whoosh——
The deathly tentacles attacked, but when they approached within ten feet of Lin Yue, they were like being crushed, and instantly turned into vapor and dissipated into the air.
Hiss, hiss, hiss——!
Seeing this scene, the maggot shadow seemed to be extremely angry. The blood red in its eyes deepened a little, and it let out a terrifying hissing sound.
The next moment, it actually raised its whole body and emerged from the river, smashing heavily towards where Lin Yue was.
Noticing that the death tentacles it had differentiated out could not cause any harm to Lin Yue, it actually chose to use its body as a means of attack.
Noticing this, Lin Yue couldn't help wondering, "Is this thing without intelligence?"
Boom——
The huge body of the maggot phantom smashed in front of Lin Yue, causing a violent wave of air. However, it was not because its attack had deviated, but because the bodies that were within ten feet of Lin Yue were directly annihilated in the sword force like its tentacles.
At this time, Lin Yue has roughly mastered its ability, which is nothing more than using the death energy to carry out various materialized attacks. This method of attack can cause a dimensionality reduction attack on practitioners with lower strength. For example, if it was not Lin Yue who came here, but the Great Protector and the lame old man, they could only complain in the face of the attack of the maggot phantom, but they had no means of counterattack.
But for someone like Lin Yue, whose sword power is already stronger than the death energy released by the maggot phantom, getting rid of it is not a difficult task.
