Chapter 294: Chapter 293: Swamp Five-headed Serpent
(PS: Apologies, I was too busy yesterday and was still a bit out of it when I woke up this morning.)
Shu Feng currently had one thousand Dragon Hunting Dogs and one thousand Hundred-Colored Dragon Eagles at his command. This force of two thousand Spirit Sect Level combat creatures was one of his greatest trump cards.
Low-Level Demons like the Ghost-devouring Demon, and other monsters like the King of Goblins, died too easily in battle. Shu Feng hadn’t synthesized such low-level monsters in a long time.
Currently, Shu Feng wasn’t lacking in Void Demon Energy or Spiritual Energy. His biggest shortage was Soul Energy. His current reserves were only enough to synthesize about fifty Swamp Black Serpents.
’I need a powerful swamp monster to clear the path for exploring this mire! This Swamp Three-headed Serpent is far from strong enough. I guess I’ll give it a High-level Soul.’
Shu Feng thought for a moment before making his decision.
Viscous fluids sprayed from numerous pipes, forming a large cocoon that enveloped the Swamp Three-headed Serpent.
A High-level Soul flew out of a pipe and plunged into the Swamp Three-headed Serpent’s body, followed by a massive injection of Source Energy.
The Swamp Three-headed Serpent’s body convulsed. It grew from over thirty meters to more than forty, and the two bulges on its neck split open to reveal two new serpentine heads. A terrifyingly powerful aura began to emanate from its body.
"Swamp Five-headed Serpent. Power: 310, Agility: 305, Defense: 349, Spirit: 220, Constitution: 370, Spiritual Power: 9,000,000."
"Special Abilities: Upper-Rank Extraordinary Regeneration, Upper-Rank Extraordinary Defense, Upper-tier Extraordinary Power, Mid-Rank Extraordinary Speed, Upper-Rank Extraordinary Resistance, High-level Biological Suppression, Swamp Movement, Venom Spray, Mire Manipulation."
"Ability Description: Venom Spray. The Swamp Five-headed Serpent can spew a highly toxic and corrosive liquid to attack its enemies. Range: five hundred meters."
"High-level Biological Suppression. The aura of the Swamp Five-headed Serpent prevents some Low-Level Demons from daring to approach or antagonize it."
"Mire Manipulation. By consuming Spiritual Power, it can manipulate the surrounding mire for both offense and defense."
A glint of excitement flashed in Shu Feng’s eyes. ’Excellent! Here in the Mire Dragon Swamp, not even a Spirit Venerable Realm Level expert is a match for it.’
Shu Feng then synthesized five more Swamp Three-headed Serpents to serve as the Swamp Five-headed Serpent’s subordinates, forming a small Mire Synth Beast Corps.
Shu Feng exited the Base Space and summoned the six Swamp Many-headed Serpents.
’What terrifying monsters! Are these all Master’s Summoned Beasts?’
When Nancy saw the Swamp Giant Serpents, each dozens of meters long, a flicker of fear crossed her face. She was so scared that her whole body trembled slightly, but she still stood quietly in place.
With a mere thought, Shu Feng summoned Camilla. He pointed at Nancy and said, "Take her back."
"Yes!" Camilla replied.
Camilla led Nancy away, heading toward Mire Dragon City.
"Move out!"
With a light leap, Shu Feng landed silently on the back of a Swamp Three-headed Serpent. His expression was grim as he spoke in a deep voice.
The base’s ability to sense Source Energy was limited by range, so Shu Feng had no choice but to venture out himself to find its location.
As the five Swamp Giant Serpents slithered into the mire, the swamp—which had seemed devoid of life, nothing but endless black mud—instantly began to boil.
With the five Swamp Giant Serpents at the center, dense swarms of thread-like creatures shot out in all directions, fleeing in a mad scramble.
The five Swamp Giant Serpents slithered through the swamp with absolute ease, their massive bodies completely unrestricted by the thick mud.
"Source Energy detected. Coordinates: North 123, West 72."
After they had traveled for several miles through the swamp, a notification suddenly sounded. Shu Feng’s eyes lit up, and he urged the six Swamp Many-headed Serpents to swim in that direction.
After swimming dozens of miles to the northwest, what appeared to be chunks of rotten black wood began closing in on Shu Feng’s group from all directions.
BANG!
Shu Feng fired a shot directly at one of the rotting black logs.
A beam of black Spiritual Light slammed into the log, blasting a huge, bloody hole through its body.
As if he’d kicked a hornet’s nest, all the "rotting logs" revealed their true forms in the putrid swamp. They were Swamp Giant Crocodiles, each over ten meters in length.
The Swamp Giant Crocodiles swam with frenzied speed, pouncing directly on the Swamp Many-headed Serpents.
The Swamp Five-headed Serpent took the lead, lunging at the Swamp Giant Crocodiles. Four of its five heads were filled with razor-sharp, serrated teeth, capable of crushing a crocodile’s skull with a single bite.
The other four Swamp Three-headed Serpents flanked the five-headed serpent, biting to death any Swamp Giant Crocodiles that lunged at them.
Standing on the back of a Swamp Three-headed Serpent, Shu Feng frantically pulled the trigger, unleashing beams of black light that blasted one Swamp Giant Crocodile after another to pieces.
Suddenly, with a tremendous splash of filth, a Swamp Giant Crocodile over twenty meters long and covered entirely in black Scale Armor surfaced. Tendrils of a terrifying Spiritual Pressure emanated from the body of this colossal beast.
’A Grandmaster Level Swamp Giant Crocodile. This big fella must be the overlord of this swamp region.’
Upon seeing the colossal Swamp Giant Crocodile, Shu Feng immediately condensed his Spiritual Power and fired a shot at it.
Just as Shu Feng raised his gun, the colossal Swamp Giant Crocodile sensed the danger. The swamp around it churned violently, rising up to form a thick wall of mire.
The pillar of black light slammed into the thick wall of mire. It barely managed to penetrate the wall before its power was spent.
Shu Feng’s brow furrowed slightly. ’This colossal Swamp Giant Crocodile also has the ability to manipulate the mire. It’s going to be a tough opponent!’
A vicious glint flashed in the eyes of the Swamp Five-headed Serpent. It tore through the mire like a mobile fortress, ramming violently toward the colossal Swamp Giant Crocodile.
The colossal Swamp Giant Crocodile charged to meet the Swamp Five-headed Serpent. This was a battle for regional dominance, and retreat was not an option. If the colossal Swamp Giant Crocodile fell back, it would have to surrender its territory.
Within moments, the two terrifying behemoths crashed into one another. The Swamp Five-headed Serpent’s four serrated heads began to tear viciously at the colossal Swamp Giant Crocodile, while its immense serpentine body coiled tightly around the giant reptile.
The colossal Swamp Giant Crocodile struggled frantically, opening its cavernous maw to bite back at the Swamp Five-headed Serpent. Every bite tore away great chunks of flesh from the serpent’s body.
