Chapter 146: Chapter 106: Poison-Avoiding Fin Whale
Fortunately, as a reptilian Bizarre creature, the Night-Cutting Spider’s recovery abilities were astonishing.
But even so, this was not an injury the Night-Cutting Spider could simply endure.
The Night-Cutting Spider’s attack had indeed landed squarely on the Dragon Species Order Beast.
’Since when did these high and mighty Celestial Destiny Seeker masters resort to trading injuries like this?’
’I’m just a passerby in Starlight City. I haven’t caused any real damage.’
’Even if the trouble Shi Mi caused was significant, it was nowhere near as impactful as the eruption of a Second Level Secret Realm would be to Starlight City.’
’Was it really necessary to fight by trading blow for blow?’
Despite knowing the Night-Cutting Spider was severely injured, Qin Ruyue had it burn its Life Force, making a swift escape through the web it had spread across the sky.
During its escape, it had to withstand several more attacks from Lin Zhuo’s Flame Sea Bi Fang. Empowered by the Crown of the Sun, the beast spewed seas of fire that could scorch the very life out of a target.
Just then, Wen Tao arrived at the battlefield. Seeing Lin Zhuo about to give chase, he quickly said,
"Zhuo, I didn’t expect this spider Bizarre to have devoured an Order Beast or a Rule Deceit Embryo. It possesses the Power of Rules."
"A lot of smaller spiders have scattered throughout the city. You take command of the Ghost Suppression Bureau’s special operations team and hunt down these splinter spawn of the spider Bizarre."
"Wipe them out as thoroughly as possible. We have to prevent this Bizarre from using the safety of Starlight City’s residents as leverage against us."
"Leave this battlefield to me."
Hearing this, Lin Zhuo called off the three Red Crows that were about to give chase.
Her gaze fell worriedly on the Order Beast behind Wen Tao, its body still shrouded in currents of water.
"Ah Tao, your Biluo Spring Dragon must be badly hurt!"
"Even if the Biluo Spring Dragon is an Elemental Dragon Species Order Beast, you shouldn’t have let it take that spider Bizarre’s attack head-on."
Although Wen Tao’s heart ached for the injured Biluo Spring Dragon, there wasn’t a hint of anxiety in his voice.
"That spider Bizarre’s all-out attack, wielded with the Power of Rules, was powerful enough to faintly exceed the Mythical Tier. The Biluo Spring Dragon’s Origin was severely damaged."
"Normally, I would have done everything to help the Biluo Spring Dragon avoid such an injury. But now that we have Xiaoyi, trading injuries actually works in our favor."
"That spider Bizarre was hit by the Biluo Spring Dragon’s full-power Dragon Breath and is now tainted by the Yellow Springs Source Water. I’ll be able to find it within three days."
Meanwhile, Zhong Yi, who had fought to the point of exhaustion in the Ice Cave Secret Realm, had no idea such a major event had just unfolded in Starlight City.
At that moment, after watching the last Ice Storm Ape die from the Poison Chain, Hong Ji collapsed to the ground.
No matter how strong Hong Ji was, as a Tenth Level Silver Quality Mortal Beast, she ultimately couldn’t withstand the grueling battle that had lasted for over eight hours.
The two wide, snow-white tails of Ice Glaze were wrapped around a grayish-blue, four-armed monkey demon.
Bright red blood stained the corners of the four-armed monkey demon’s mouth; it was clearly dead.
Zhong Yi looked at the mountain of Snowstorm Ape and Ice Storm Ape corpses piled up before him, nearly filling the entire Ice Cave, and thought to himself.
’I underestimated the number of individuals in the Snowstorm Ape Community controlled by this Ice Soul Monkey Demon.’
’It wasn’t just over 3,000 as I expected, but more than 6,200.’
’If it weren’t for the fact that the Poison Chain released by the Ten Thousand Corrosive Poison Mother grows more potent after killing each Snowstorm Ape and Ice Storm Ape, the three of us would have had a hard time holding out until the end!’
Because Hong Ji had already shown signs of exhaustion after killing over 4,000 Snowstorm Apes, at least two or three hundred of them managed to break through her defensive line.
Fortunately, Ice Glaze commanded its fox-shaped sculptures to fight bravely, and Zhong Ling also sent her twenty-some Blade Butterflies into the fray.
That was how the safety of Zhong Yi’s group was secured.
Zhong Yi summoned the Resurrection Celestial Lord to heal the twenty-some Blade Butterflies.
Otherwise, in the continuous battles against the Snowstorm Apes and Ice Storm Apes, at least half of these Knife Bee Butterflies would have been lost.
It wasn’t just Hong Ji who was exhausted and sitting on the ice; the Ten Thousand Corrosive Poison Mother had also overexerted itself to the point of going limp in Shen Xuan’s arms.
The Ten Thousand Corrosive Poison Mother couldn’t even be bothered to move a single filament-tentacle, let alone a main tentacle.
While Shen Xuan was exhausted, an indescribable excitement sparked in his eyes.
’This feeling of surviving a desperate situation... it’s amazing!’
’And the feeling of proving my worth to the group is even better!’
Shen Xuan absolutely loved this feeling—fighting alongside Zhong Yi and Zhong Ling in a desperate battle, trusting each other with their lives.
This battle made Shen Xuan realize the importance of increasing his strength even more, and it also clarified the future development path for his Ten Thousand Corrosive Poison Mother.
"Young Master, you said before that I should decide the future development path for Purple Erosion through combat."
"I’ve decided now. I want to strengthen Purple Erosion’s toxicity."
"That way, I can kill opponents faster with the Poison Chain and help with Poison Chain Conduction."
"And if possible, it’d be best to also increase Purple Erosion’s venom production and the speed at which it’s produced."
Hearing this, the Ten Thousand Corrosive Poison Mother lying in Shen Xuan’s arms strenuously lifted a main tentacle and lightly smacked him on the butt.
If the Ten Thousand Corrosive Poison Mother were a person, it would probably be rolling its eyes so hard they’d see the heavens.
’He wants to enhance the toxicity, *and* increase venom production, *and* increase the production speed.’
’What do you think I am, some kind of super-mom?’
’Or some treasured housewife who can pop out ninety-nine babies in one go?’
’This master of mine is just way too greedy!’
Hearing the development path Shen Xuan had planned for the Ten Thousand Corrosive Poison Mother, Zhong Yi secretly nodded in approval.
