Episode 11 – Graveyard of the Gods Chapter 20 – Wraiths on the Move
The dense grass blades completely sealed Linley in, surrounded by grass blades breath, “Cackle cackle ~~” the roots of the grass blades were madly squeezing, the squeezing pressure of this instant was so great that Linley’s face changed.
“By this squeezing pressure alone, the average Saint realm powerhouse would be directly squeezed into a meat pie.”
Linley said darkly in his heart.
“This plant life can be dozens of times more terrifying than that plant life on the second level!”
Linley didn’t dare to hide.
“Break!”
The purple-blooded soft sword in his hand glowed brightly – where the purple-blooded soft sword passed, space sometimes stagnated, sometimes produced overlapping shadows, and spatial blades appeared on the blade of the sword, and even though those grass leaves and rhizomes were dozens of times tougher than the plant-life Vineman from the second layer, in front of the purple-blooded soft sword, they were still cut and torn apart like strips of cloth.
“Peng!”
Broken rhizomes and grass blades flew about, and Linley shot out of this dense grass and blade rhizome prison like a sharp arrow.
“Boss, I’m fine!”
A grass leaf orb in the distance instantly dissolved out of a hole, while Bebe, whose entire body was flowing with black light, just flew out.
“Bebe, what kind of move is this?”
Linley’s heart burst with joy.
“I’m a divine grade magical beast ‘God Devouring Mouse’ yeah.”
Bebe raised his little head, and then Bebe noticed the scene not far away – a large number of grass blades had formed a huge orb that apparently wrapped around a person, and this huge orb of grass blades even had a hidden white light coming out of it.
“Boss, Desiree’s situation is not good.”
Bebe instantly recognized that the bright aura was precisely Desiree’s.
Linley also discovered it, and without hesitation, he flew straight over, his soul force extending out to clearly see the situation inside – Desiree’s body surface was being protected by a hidden armor of light, and many white arrows of light were surrounding his body out of thin air. They were frantically attacking the surrounding grass blades.
However, these roots and grass blades were too tough.
“Shoo!”
The Purple Blood Soft Sword was swung out, and just a few flashes of demonic purple light passed by. Those rhizomes snapped apart.
Desiree got out of the trap, and when she saw Linley, she immediately said, “Thank you, this monster’s grass blades are really tough, my instantaneous level 9 magic can’t break through them at all, without your help, it’s really troublesome.”
A red light lit up, the grass blades flew chaotically, and Tuli Lei stood in the air holding the artifact red scimitar. With this scimitar, Tuli Lei is indeed like a tiger with wings, Tuli Lei also shouted angrily: “Who is it. Don’t be sneaky, if you have the ability to come out openly and honestly to compete.”
“Peng!”
Another blade of grass orb burst open, and Rutherford, whose entire body was haunted by green light, also got out of the trap.
Many strong people, one by one, broke away.
However, at this moment, Olivia was not in a good situation.
Having just been trapped and squeezed by the countless blades of grass, Olivia didn’t have time to resist. He suddenly realized that – all the roots and stems that were squeezing him were actually sliding at extreme speeds, and these grass leaves and roots all had sharp spikes on them. This extremely fast sliding up was just like the saws used by farmers, with the teeth of the grass blades and rhizomes constantly cutting through his body.
In just an instant, Olivia’s body surface was scratched.
“Hmph.”
Olivia’s gaze went cold.
“Shoo!”
A dazzling light lit up, and the shattered grass leaves and roots were thrown up.
Long black and white barge hair flowed, holding that Xuan Ice longsword. Olivia stood in the air. Only Olivia’s body unexpectedly had a trace of blood on it, and Olivia was secretly shocked in the bottom of her heart, “What a powerful sawtooth.”
All thirteen of the powerhouses were suspended in midair, Desiree looked around and sighed in relief, “Fortunately, no one died.”
Olivia glanced at a human Saint realm powerhouse next to her, who already had a large wound on his abdomen, “Carrozza, that was pretty close. You almost had your little life over.”
The man named Carrozza also shushed, “It was almost, it’s just that the creature’s serrated teeth were too powerful, if I had reacted a little slower. I’m afraid those branches and leaves would have extended into my body.”
“Extended into the body?”
Linley, Faun, and the others couldn’t help but have a shudder when they heard that.
Allowing those branches and leaves to enter one’s body. I’m afraid that those blades of grass would instantly strangle the internal organs to pieces.
“Don’t move.”
Desiree flew in front of a human powerhouse. Healing magic was cast on it.
This Carrozza, was one of the three strongmen that belonged to the second group.
Those three strongmen. They were the human strongman Carissa, Olivia, and the magical beast strongman, the king of a black-armored giant scorpion. Black Armored Giant Scorpions were generally ninth level magical beasts, and it was extremely rare for this Black Armored Giant Scorpion King to be able to cultivate to the peak of the Saint Domain.
“I hate encountering this kind of plant life.”
Linley looked down at the scene below.
The bottom was already full of endless desert, the original ‘oasis’ had completely disappeared, and there were only broken blades of grass and roots. Linley had just seen with his own eyes that the grass blades and rhizomes that hadn’t broken had all penetrated into the desert below.
“Let’s go.”
Desiree said, “If that plant life stops pestering us, we won’t bother wasting time with it, the most important thing right now is to find the entrance to the eighth level.”
“Depart.”
Linley and the rest of the crowd nodded as well.
The thirteen powerhouses no longer cared about the plant life and flew extremely fast towards the distance, beginning to search through this endless desert.
“Another oasis ahead.”
Faun frowned and bellowed.
Linley looked closely, and sure enough, there was a blur of green right in the distance, and when they flew a little closer, everyone could clearly see the huge oasis. Having experienced it last time, no one dared to be careless.
“We’d better not get close.”
Rosalie shook her head, “Stay away from it, this kind of monster is difficult to deal with.”
The crowd agreed, all consciously avoiding this desert oasis. However, when Linley’s group flew in another direction, that one oasis unexpectedly plunged directly underneath the desert. At the same time, the desert sand began to tremble slightly.
The direction of the trembling trajectory was coincidental. It was precisely towards Linley’s group of people moving over at extreme speed.
“En?”
The black-armored giant scorpion flying behind looked downwards with a pair of small eyes, and then he immediately shouted out a warning, “Everyone, be careful, that monster is coming towards us from underneath the desert at breakneck speed.”
In the Magical Beast Mountain Range, there were often magical beasts advancing from underground to attack. The Black Armored Giant Scorpion, as a Saint Domain Magical Beast, was also very familiar with such attacks.
“That’s really it.”
Linley, Fahn, Suddenly Lei, and the rest of the crowd all stopped in midair and looked downwards.
If one looked closely. One could find that on the very surface of the desert, there were actually still one or two inconspicuous blades of grass on the ground. This kind of plant life, all of its blades of grass can be called its ‘eyes’. Wherever this blade of grass could see, its own body would be able to discover it.
“What to do?”
Linley, Desiree, and the others looked at each other.
It was also troublesome to kill this plant life, but to let it follow so insidiously?
“Whoosh!”
“Whoosh!”
Like two sharp arrows, two long green rhizomes shot out abruptly from the desert and almost instantly curled up on Desiree’s legs. These two rhizomes were both as thick as an arm, and at the same time had a large number of tiny rhizomes attached to them.
The moment they wrapped around Desiree.
“Brush!”
It was violently yanked downwards. These two rhizomes shot out too fast, a shot, a coil, a yank, and in the blink of an eye Desri’s entire body was yanked straight down, Desri let out a furious cry, while a furious mental storm rolled towards the bottom.
“Not good.”
Linley and the other group of people’s faces changed drastically. They also immediately chased towards the bottom.
“Pfft…”
Desiree’s entire body was directly yanked into the desert, and in an instant he disappeared from everyone’s view. And the surface of the desert was still as ordinary as if nothing had been found.
“Go down!”
Bebe bellowed.
Without hesitation, the five great magical beasts, Bei Bei, the three-headed six-eyed golden geibi, and the black-armored giant scorpion, all drastically shrunk in size while rushing directly into the desert below. Being large in size, traveling under the ground was a troublesome thing. For example, human powerhouses. They would definitely not be as fast as the magical beasts in the underground.
Faun, Rosalie, Suddenly Lei, and the other seven were in mid-air, and for a while, they didn’t know what to do.
“Now we can only hope that Bebe and the others will be able to save Desiree.”
Linley himself was at his wits’ end.
If he was allowed to enter the desert, he was afraid that his scurrying speed would have to slow down by a large margin in the first place. That speed wouldn’t be able to catch up with that plant life at all.
“That monster Vineman’s rhizome shoots out too fast, as if a strong man had struck out with a sword.”
Suddenly Li Lei’s brows were furrowed, “In a flash, it had already curled around Desiree’s legs. Also, just now, Desiree has already cast a spiritual attack, but it seems to be useless.”
“It can’t possibly be useful.”
Linley shook his head, “That monster’s body is as big as an oasis, nearly ten miles in circumference. What came out just now was only its rhizome. I’m afraid its main body is miles away from us. Desiree doesn’t know where the monster’s main body is, and it would be good if he could injure the other party by casting Spiritual Berserk …… in a boundless manner.”
Olivia coldly hummed, “That Desiree, is looking for death herself.”
“How do you talk?”
Faun and the others looked at Olivia in dissatisfaction.
Olivia glanced at them, but said indifferently, “There are all kinds of creatures in the Graveyard of Gods. The methods used against humans are not necessarily applicable to these creatures. This Desiree is only a Saint Magician, if faced with a sudden attack. At most, he can use instantaneous magic. How powerful can his instantaneous magic be? Against this kind of monster. There’s no threat at all. He still came to the Graveyard of the Gods, isn’t he looking for death?”
“What kind of words are these?”
Rosalie was a bit dissatisfied.
“Saint Magic Guides were originally not good at melee combat. When they reach the God Realm and have a God Body, the melee combat aspect will naturally be compensated for.”
Faun said.
Linley, however, felt that Olivia had a bit of a point; Saint Magical Guides were indeed flawed when it came to attacking at a moment’s notice.
“What?”
Olivia said indifferently, “After becoming a god, one would indeed be transformed and possess a god body! The God Body is extremely strong and is best suited for melee combat.”
Olivia snorted, “But why must we wait until we become a god? Couldn’t a Saint Magician spend a little effort on melee combat after reaching the Holy Realm, spending hundreds of years is nothing to Desiree, right?”
“Letting a Holy Magic Guide, become a Sanctuary Warrior? You think it’s as simple as you think?”
Fain said with a frown.
“Alright.”
Linley spoke, “Don’t talk too much, to each his own.”
A hint of joy suddenly appeared on Linley’s face, “Well, that monster was caught up.”
“Caught up?”
Everyone burst into surprise and immediately looked downwards.
Only to see the desert below begin to roll, and then bulge, and finally a “pong” sound of sand flying about, the first to fly out was Desiree, Desiree’s body was still covered in blood, his face was a little pale, and when he saw Linley’s crowd, he even laughed: “It was really close enough.”
“Boss, we’re here.”
Bebe’s voice rang out.
And then Bebe also emerged from the desert, while Bebe’s claws were still grasping a huge root that was several meters thick, which dragged out the monster below, and a behemoth appeared in front of the crowd.
There was a ten-story tall creature, its whole body was coiled with thick earth-colored roots, and its eyes were the size of a house.
The length of the roots coiling all over this monster’s body did not exceed a hundred meters, and it was obvious that all the roots had been cut off. Bei Bei dragged such a monster up, and as for the bottom, there were the three six-eyed golden geibeys and the black-armored giant scorpion.
“This fellow still wants to escape? Really ……”
Bei Bei’s small claws grasped the root and easily threw this huge big thing in mid-air and fluttered up like a huge wind wheel, “Boss, I thought it was very powerful. But I didn’t expect it to be a soft persimmon, Boss, how are you going to execute this monster, say it.”
The black-armored giant scorpion also flew aside, “This fellow, indeed, is not good, it only knows those two or three moves, we get close to its main body and it’s finished.
