Chapter 69: Chapter 69: Confronting the Old Demon
The change happened so quickly that the five Mountain Patrol Demon Soldiers in the south were dumbfounded, but they soon reacted.
The Night Owl in the sky flapped its wings, attempting to fly south to report, but in the next second, it got caught by a second Frost Spider Web, froze into an ice block, and fell to the ground, its fate unknown.
This time, Wang Wu saw it clearly.
The Old Demon referred to as the big brother was a big, fat rat with all its fur turned white. It wore a sophisticated robe, with a comically yet fitting hat on its head, holding a bizarre staff. At one end of the staff crouched a giant toad, as big as a human head.
The second was a large black spider, bigger than an Eight Immortals Table.
The third was a small black snake, coiled on the back of the big spider, very petite, hardly noticeable if not paid attention to.
These three border-crossing Old Demons were indeed not easy to deal with.
"Roar! What illegal demons dare trespass!"
The Black Bear Demon Soldier in the south roared furiously and bravely charged forward, but in the next second, it got caught by a Frost Spider Web from the second demon, unable to even struggle, and froze on the spot.
The gap in ranks was too great.
However, taking advantage of the Black Bear Demon Soldier’s cover, the Plum Deer and the Cyan Wolf Cub leapt onto the small hill from the left and right, attempting to launch an attack from both sides.
Their agility was only slightly inferior to the Big Mountain Cat, in fact, the Plum Deer’s jumping ability was even better.
Their goal, however, was still a feint.
It was to provide cover for the Little Wild Boar, which was currently making a mad dash, trying to rescue the Big Mountain Cat that had turned into an ice block.
What an excellent tactical cooperation, what a clear battlefield insight.
While Wang Wu was admiring this in his heart, he quickly took action.
He had no reason not to make a move; when he was glaring at the Big Mountain Cat, he was already exposed. The three border-crossing Old Demons might not think of it now, but once they handled the six Mountain Patrol Demon Soldiers, they would definitely figure it out.
Hence, he actually had no choice.
Wang Wu’s target was that big spider, which was about to spit out a Frost Spider Web to trap the Cyan Wolf Cub.
As a result of Wang Wu’s sudden attack, there was a deviation, allowing the Cyan Wolf Cub to escape.
But that was all, even though Wang Wu was less than five meters away from the big spider, even though he considered his charging speed fast, with 15 points of agility.
Still, in front of these border-crossing Old Demons, it wasn’t fast enough.
The fat white rat didn’t even bother to glance at Wang Wu.
The tiny black snake that had been crouching on the back of the big spider jumped up like lightning; it was really fast, too fast. Wang Wu could only glimpse a black blur before feeling a sharp pain in his throat, as if clamped and penetrated by hot tongs.
Damn, how is this similar to the Black Snake Priest’s method?
The pain was excruciating, unbearable; Wang Wu felt as if his throat was about to be crushed, followed by a numbness spreading and expanding.
There was poison, and a strong one at that!
Wang Wu felt the world spinning, his body collapsing uncontrollably to the ground with a thud, while the tiny black snake persisted in biting his throat, frantically sucking blood, its belly visibly swelling.
It seemed as if he had been dealt with.
But the numbness and dizziness from before quickly subsided.
A line of information appeared timely.
"You were attacked by the wandering Black Snake High Priest. You suffered 200 points of damage, and due to your 30 points of Defense, you ultimately received 110 points of bite damage."
"You are poisoned. This is the Snake Demon Poison refined from various toxins by the Black Snake High Priest, causing you 100 points of erosion damage, along with widespread paralysis and dizziness effects. However, due to your 8 points of Paralysis Poison Resistance and perfect Ordinary Snake Poison Resistance, you ultimately suffered 61 points of toxin erosion damage, with the paralysis and dizziness effects quickly disappearing."
"You are bleeding, and due to your size and total blood volume, your Life Value decreases by 5 per second!"
——
Surprisingly, he wasn’t dead!
Wang Wu’s first thought was that he actually survived this full-force blow from a mysterious and powerful border-crossing Old Demon and regained combat capability in just three seconds.
No, the key was that his Paralysis Poison Resistance played a vital role.
Hahaha!
With wild laughter in his heart, Wang Wu’s actions did not slow down at all. He slapped the delicate little black snake biting his throat like squashing a mosquito, bursting it open.
But this so-called Black Snake High Priest still had some skills; it wasn’t dead yet. Although its belly burst, its head remained as hard as a hammer, clinging to Wang Wu’s throat.
But at this moment, Wang Wu truly didn’t care. He grabbed the wriggling snake tail of the Black Snake High Priest and stuffed it into his mouth. After a frenzy of chewing, the Level 10 Healing Talent was activated.
This Black Snake may be small, with not much meat, but its quality is undeniable. Just this small piece not only provided him with 300 points of Spiritual Qi, but also an additional 600 points of Satiety and 2% Growth.
This is practically like a super blood pack.
This means that within a minute, he can consume 400 points of Satiety to gain 200 points of Life Value.
There is no better time to go all out than now!
With a furious roar, Wang Wu didn’t bother to tear off the half-broken Black Snake High Priest and hurriedly charged at the giant Black Spider. This is the opponent’s control-type player, and without dealing with it, the situation would be difficult to break open.
For just in this brief moment, both the Plum Deer and Cyan Wolf Cub were taken down.
One was bitten by a toad, and the other was trapped by the Ice Spider Web.
Fortunately, the Little Wild Boar had successfully broken open the Ice Spider Web that trapped the Big Mountain Cat, allowing the Big Mountain Cat, the strongest force, to re-enter the fray.
The situation seemed to take a turn for the better!
But just at the moment Wang Wu was about to hit the Black Spider, the half-broken body of the Black Snake High Priest that was biting his throat suddenly injected him with a fierce snake poison.
He stumbled immediately, and simultaneously, the giant Black Spider twisted its back, dropping an Ice Spider Web that caught him firmly.
"You have been injected with Snake Demon Poison, which caused 100 points of erosion damage to you, and inflicted a large area of paralysis and dizziness effects. But because you have 8 points of Paralysis Poison Resistance and perfect Ordinary Snake Poison Resistance, you ultimately suffered 61 points of poison erosion damage, with the paralysis and dizziness effects rapidly dissipating."
"You are losing blood, with your size and total blood volume, your Life Value decreases by 5 per second!"
"You were attacked by a rogue Black Spider Priest, and have been covered by the Ice Spider Web."
"You suffered 20 points of Cold Ice erosion from Ice Spiritual Qi, but due to your current Ice Resistance, you exempted all damage."
"You will be frozen for 30 seconds. You can also choose to reversely absorb Ice Spiritual Qi and regain freedom within three seconds."
...
Lines of information flashed quickly, as Wang Wu was recovering from the paralysis and dizziness effects.
And almost at the same time, the Big Mountain Cat darted like lightning over the Plum Deer’s head, stepping and trampling in between to destroy the Ice Spider Web, but in the next second, the large fat mouse’s toad threw a gob of toxic salivary phlegm that hit the Plum Deer’s head squarely, instantly corroding its entire head with pits and craters, black air rising.
Clearly, it won’t survive.
But the Big Mountain Cat seemed intentional, the next second, it stomped on the Cyan Wolf Cub like lightning, breaking its Ice Spider Web, only to be immediately hit by another blast of toxic liquid from the large fat mouse.
"What are you doing!"
The Little Wild Boar shouted anxiously, these few little demons were its friends, yet they were being slaughtered like this.
It charged in an attempt to ram the large fat mouse, but was immediately blocked by the Black Spider Priest!
The Black Spider Priest seemed unable to release the Ice Spider Web anymore, but it could still quickly shoot out a large amount of webbing, leaving the red-eyed Little Wild Boar unable to escape despite its squeals like a slaughtered pig.
In the next moment, as Wang Wu was desperately recycling the Ice Spiritual Qi, preparing to assist the Big Mountain Cat and Little Wild Boar, the Big Mountain Cat suddenly darted across, precisely stomping on him, shattering the remaining bit of cold ice, and in an instant, Wang Wu was covered in a headful of toxic liquid.
In that split second, his scalp was corroded with craters, the foul black gas boiling, the pain piercing, and his eye blinded.
However, this toxic liquid seemed familiar, damn it, isn’t this Water Demon Poison?
Wang Wu said not a word, but at that moment, he threw himself to the ground, fiercely pulling off the half-body of the Black Snake High Priest that was biting fiercely at his throat, and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing noisily.
Facing the Water Demon Poison, he needed at least 1000 points of Satiety.
Meanwhile, the battlefield’s situation changed again, for as the large fat mouse’s toad fired five times in succession, the originally head-sized toad shrank to the size of an egg, apparently exhausted of its toxic liquid.
At this moment, it was finally the Big Mountain Cat’s turn to unleash its might, letting out a fierce "meow", brimming with murderous intent. Although the Black Spider Priest hastily spat webs to intercept, how could such level of interception stop the lightning-fast Big Mountain Cat?
With two consecutive fake moves, it not only completely fooled the Black Spider Priest, but with a casual swipe, cut off its two legs.
Then, with another fake move, it duped the large fat mouse’s pounce, and in less than a second, somehow appeared behind it, biting off its spine, and with two claws, ripped out its heart, liver, and lungs.
Almost a one-shot kill!
With such speed and evasion skills, how was it caught by the Ice Spider Web just now?
Then, the Black Spider Priest seemed to awaken from a dream, turning to flee desperately towards the western valley.
However, the Big Mountain Cat did not pursue, merely gave a cold glance at the crying Little Wild Boar still struggling in the web, then another at the motionless Wang Wu lying on the ground, before calmly leaving, carrying the large fat mouse.
Truly cold and truly ruthless!
To achieve victory, it sacrifices its allies as stepping stones.
Deserving of the title as the little overlord of North Mountain Root’s region.
