Chapter 418 Cursed Beast Upgraded Version
The group descended to the bottom of the cave.
Jiang Xi used the power of her origin to guide her in one direction.
At the bottom of the cave live many ferocious wild animals.
Logically speaking, it should be a guardian beast, a guardian beast that can transform into a beastman.
For some reason, these wild beasts at the bottom of the cave had no thought process and could only clumsily identify each other by their scent.
As they ventured deeper into the cave, the roots of the giant tree twisted and turned, forming a dense network in the air, within which a blue light was contained.
The beasts dwelled in the space bathed in blue light, tilting their heads back to absorb the radiance emanating from above.
After years of absorbing energy, these beasts should be incredibly powerful, but they didn't seem as strong as I had imagined.
After a moment's thought, Jiang Xi understood the reason.
Those powerful guardian beasts were all branded and settled on her continent.
But there must be other powerful beings here.
She gave the others a wink, signaling them to be careful.
Suddenly, Poon grabbed Them's arm and began to tremble.
"Yes, there is something."
The grass was so thick that you couldn't see anything inside.
Sem pulled Poon toward him, but couldn't pull him away; it was like a tug-of-war, a struggle against something unknown.
The commotion they made attracted everyone's attention. Jiang Xi noticed something and quickly spoke up.
"Go up!"
She had intended to be more cautious and approach silently from the ground, but it seemed that wouldn't work.
Mu Ling embraced the female master and appeared in the air first, grabbing the roots hanging down from the giant tree.
But soon, the roots wrapped around him and bound him.
Mu Ling flashed again and appeared on the other side, but as soon as the nearby roots sensed his presence, they immediately wrapped around him again.
Seeing this, the people on the ground could only unleash their supernatural abilities into the grass.
As the grass fell, something emerged from the bushes: mutated worms with blue shells and countless legs, surging wildly from who-knows-where.
Mu Ling, carrying the female master, darted wildly through the air, unable to go up or down.
The burst of supernatural light on the ground startled the wild beasts on the outskirts.
In an instant, countless wild beasts rushed in as well.
Jiang Xi hurriedly said, "Let me up, you go down and help them."
While dodging the entanglement of the roots, Mu Ling said, "No! It's dangerous for you to be alone, Mistress!"
Jiang Xi patted his head.
“If you hold me, we won’t be able to get up. It will only waste time and attract all the ferocious beasts in the vicinity. If this goes on for too long, those wild beasts from the Poisonous River outside might come in too!”
"Quickly put me up there, this is the World Tree, it won't hurt me."
Mu Ling looked down, then at the roots that kept wrapping around her, gritted her teeth, and tried to get the roots to touch the female.
The roots, just as the female had said, bypassed her and came toward him.
Only then was he relieved, and he appeared as high as possible next to a cluster of roots, placing the female on it.
Jiang Xi grabbed the roots and started to climb upwards.
Mu Ling watched anxiously from below, and could only help them fend off the blue beetles while observing the situation of the female host who had burrowed into the root system.
Suddenly, Nakan exclaimed in surprise.
"Black water is flowing in from outside!!"
Everyone looked up at the cave entrance high above. The originally transparent liquid had turned black, and at the same time, jet-black claws covered in poisonous bubbles climbed up the edge of the cave.
With a splash, countless wild beasts tumbled in like a flowing stream.
The plants at the bottom of the cave trembled when they touched the black water, and soon they decomposed into black, lifeless matter.
Everyone's expression changed.
Himer swept the blue beetle aside with a tail hook, "I'll go over there and hold them off for a bit."
Before anyone could answer, he leaped over the surging beasts in a few bounds.
He had a brand on his body, so the wild beasts wouldn't attack him; they could only let him attack them.
Suddenly, Cecilia frowned and looked up.
Countless blue, long-shelled insects are climbing up the roots high up.
"above!"
The water jets crashed into the roots in mid-air, and the long-shelled insects fell down with a crackling sound, but many more clung tightly to the roots and climbed upwards.
The blue, long-shelled beetles are small and fast. If this continues, Jiang Xi will be caught up by them before she even reaches the source.
Mu Ling quickly appeared in the air and blasted the long-shelled beetle down with his fist.
But strength has no effect on the soft, entwined roots.
Nafiel and Nakan merged and grasped the root system.
Frost instantly covered the roots of all the scale insects that had reached them.
Freezing slows down the movement of roots binding together.
The long-shelled beetle was frozen stiff and fell down.
Another batch of long-shelled beetles climbed up, this time with fire.
The vines burned, and the flames crackled and popped as the long-shelled insects burned, filling the cave with the aroma of their fleshy shells.
Yi Yuexi chuckled, "I am actually a little hungry."
Mu Ling: "You still have the mood to talk about this!"
Duan Si swung his tail, shaking off the surrounding beasts, and used his devouring ability to precisely devour their fatal points.
Jiang Xi climbed up by gripping the roots, her forehead covered in sweat.
For some reason, even after climbing for so long, it still felt very far.
Although these roots did not entangle her, they densely blocked the upward space, making it difficult for her to crawl through.
Suddenly, I heard a rustling crawling sound.
Jiang Xi turned her head and came face to face with a long-shelled beetle that had slipped through the net.
The long-shelled beetle raised its upper body, opened its sharp teeth and mouth on its abdomen, and leaped towards her.
Jiang Xi turned her head to dodge, but the sound of the long-shelled beetle crawling up her back and the "sizzling" sound of its teeth colliding still lingered in her ears.
With a determined look, she decided to try anything, turned her head, raised her hand, and grabbed the long-shelled beetle.
At the same time, the superpower was activated, draining all the energy from the long-shelled insect's body.
Countless energies surged into her body, causing a hazy blue mist to rise from her snow-white face.
Suddenly, the dense root system spread out to both sides as if to welcome her.
Jiang Xi realized something in an instant.
She quickly shouted down, "Ignore these beetles, let them come up, they'll be useful to me!"
Upon hearing this, Nafiel and Nakan immediately stopped their attack on the blue beetle.
At the same time, more and more swamp beasts surged in, and Himer could no longer hold them off, so he could only attack and retreat at the same time.
The wild beasts at the bottom of the cave, upon encountering those deformed, poisonous swamp beasts, were all contaminated with the poisonous gas and collapsed to the ground.
But soon they stood up, their bodies covered in black bubbles, and transformed into creatures resembling wild beasts from a poisonous swamp.
This scene is all too familiar.
An enhanced version of the Cursed Beast.
The group, who had hunted countless cursed beasts in the Cursed Land, looked at each other as if they had returned to the Cursed Land.
With a flick of the wrist, supernatural powers descended.
The superpower followed the energy channels of the dark beast's body, instantly disintegrating it into black mist that drifted towards the entrance of the cave where black water flowed.
Hermer was taken aback.
"Have you ever dealt with this thing?"
Mu Ling twisted his neck, rubbed his fists together, revealing two rows of big white teeth, and chuckled.
"That's a really old partner."
