Chapter 655: Chapter 182: Exploring Death for the Third Time_3
Xuan Yue broke into a faint smile, pointed the Angel Wand in her hand forward, and the Fire Phoenix above her head swooped towards the deep chill Undead Spider with a colorful tail flame. Sensing the threat of death, the deep chill Undead Spiders all invariably performed the same action, folding in their wings, allowing their millstone-sized bodies to fall rapidly downwards like a free-falling object, seemingly terrified of not escaping in time.
The Fire Phoenix circled once in the sky and flew back to Xuan Yue above, who called it back into her Phoenix’s Blood. Xuan Yue giggled and said, "These blue spiders are genuinely afraid of death! They all ran away just at a fright." Ah Dai already knew about deep chill Undead Spider’s characteristics from Xiao Gu Tou and sighed lightly, saying, "They also ran because of their species’ survival. If they weren’t threatened by the fiery Undead Spider, I’m afraid they wouldn’t be so easy to handle. Even with your Fire Phoenix, at the most, it could only eliminate half of their strength. To eradicate the rest, we have to put in more energy. Don’t forget the power of the Ice Silk they spit out initially."
Xuan Yue, having once more repelled the deep chill Undead Spider, was in an excellent mood and laughed, "Let’s not worry about these now. Sheng Xie, increase our speed. After crossing the territory of resentful spirits, we will encounter new enemies."
Sheng Xie spread his wings and flew forward quickly. Ah Dai was attentively observing the scene below, and soon, they would come across the Undead Fairy that Xiao Gu Tou mentioned. His nerves started to tense up. At this moment, Ah Dai suddenly found a large number of dark creatures below. He was taken aback and wondered, wouldn’t this be the previous territory of resentful spirits? How could there be other undead creatures? Fortunately, due to the distance, those creatures did not seem to notice them. He quickly muttered, "With the Dragon’s Blood as a guide, open the gates of space-time." A blaze of blue light shone, and at his summon, bursts of blue radiance emerged continuously from his chest. As the blue light gradually faded, a creature that no one had ever seen appeared before them. This being was densely covered with black scales and was over thirty meters long. It had a pair of massive wings on its back and half-meter-long bone spikes from head to tail. Its black eyes were burning with two purple flames. It was radiating a potent dangerous aura, an utterly evil nature. Its four giant dragon paws waved slightly, and the wings behind fluttered, causing a strong wind. It seemed like it was still not well accustomed to flying.
Ah Dai, of course, knew what he summoned from the Dragon’s Blood and exclaimed, "Xiao Gu Tou, how did you turn into this?" In front of him was a black giant dragon radiating an evil aura! This sudden change shocked Ah Dai.
The black dragon slowly gained control over its body, floating beside Sheng Xie, opened its mouth, and astonishingly spoke human words, saying, "Master, I am Xiao Gu Tou! The combined energy of tens of thousands of resentful spirits is immense. After fusing with this bone dragon, it changed its body. Now it not only has bones but also a flesh body. So the last time I communicated with you, I said I was quite satisfied with this new body. With this body, I feel incredibly formidable, master! Isn’t this our previous territory?"
Ah Dai glanced back at Xuan Yue and the others, who looked astonished, and a tinge of joy rose in his heart. Xiao Gu Tou was now very loyal to him. Having such a strong aid would only be an advantage. Steadying his surging emotions, he pointed down and asked, "Xiao Gu Tou, since this is your resentful spirits’ territory, can you tell what those creatures below are? Have other undead creatures taken your place?" The black dragon, hearing Ah Dai’s words, was surprised. It lowered its head to look below, and when it saw the mass of dark creatures, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Master, don’t worry. They are not powerful undead creatures, only the Winged Tribe from the Church of the Dark Saint. Perhaps, because of our disappearance, it attracted the attention of the Church of the Dark Saint, so they sent them here to guard. But you can rest assured, with their abilities, they cannot fly a kilometer high, and the Winged Tribe has a characteristic of rarely looking up. So they are even less likely to discover us."
Ah Dai frowned and said, "Since the Church of the Dark Saint has found out about our arrival at the Death Mountain Range, they must be on alert. I’m afraid they would vent their anger on the nearby Elf Clan."
Xiao Gu Tou shook his head vigorously and said, "Rest assured, it will absolutely not involve the Elf Clan. Now, the Church of the Dark Saint is fully focusing on opening the Demon Realm Entrance. They are not too concerned about others, and with our undead creatures guarding the Death Mountain Range, they won’t worry. Master, what shall we do now?"
Ah Dai hesitated a bit and said in a low voice, "We go to the territory of the Rotten Dragon and Undead Fairy to check. Do you have a way to deal with the poisonous fog above the Rotten Dragon? Can we break through directly by relying on our speed?" The corrosive attack experienced when he first entered the Death Mountain Range through the Zombie Poisonous Fog had left a profound mark on him. Now facing another poisonous fog, he naturally became cautious.
Xiao Gu Tou said, "The Rotten Dragon’s venom is very sticky. If we rush in, it would be like being stuck in a large glob of sticky glue. It would be tough to move forward. If you touch even a bit of the red gas, you will be poisoned and die in the shortest time. Initially, we resentful spirits were not afraid of this kind of poisonous gas, but now with this huge body, it’s a different story. I’m still not very familiar with the capabilities of this body. The best way is to rush over from above the poisonous fog. The red fog that the Rotten Dragon emits usually floats around two thousand meters in the air. They are very alert, much more agile than zombies. Even if we disguise ourselves, I’m afraid we won’t be able to pass through smoothly. All we can do now is to increase our speed to the extreme and advance as far as possible before the red fog rises. Once surrounded by the red fog, we will use the energy barrier to protect ourselves and escape the enveloping poisonous fog as quickly as possible."
