Chapter 173: Chapter 173 Sealing The Purple Flame Monster
The purple flame monster’s fiery antennas were too powerful. Originally, Chu Yunsheng thought that other insects would also start to chase him. However, after a few red-sh.e.l.led insects were killed by the purple flame monster’s fiery antennas, all the insects stayed behind and “watched” the “internal conflict” from a distance.
The monster was too quick, the golden-sh.e.l.led insect was. .h.i.t by it a few times because of that. If it had not been for the little tiger’s detection ability and Chu Yunsheng’s energy s.h.i.+eld, the golden-sh.e.l.led insect would have probably already lost its ability to move.
Chu Yunsheng quickly lured the monster towards the riverside. Soon, they left the swarm, and the insects in the swarm did not seem to want to follow them.
Chu Yunsheng’s plan was to lure the purple flame monster into the huge hole he had dug earlier. He needed to defeat the monster in that hole lest other insects would spot it.
When the purple flame monster entered the hole, Chu Yunsheng immediately jumped out of the golden-sh.e.l.led insect’s back and cast out the glacier talisman he had prepared before.
At the same time, he also ordered the golden-sh.e.l.led insect to take the little tiger under the ground once again.
The purple monster did not expect that a human would suddenly appear in the fight between it and the golden-sh.e.l.led insect. Just when it raised its head and wanted to roar, it was instantly frozen into an ice sculpture. Through the crystal clear icy surface, Chu Yunsheng could still see its last posture.
“Crack!”
As soon as Chu Yunsheng heard the sound of the ice cracking, he cast out 12 sword Qi, combined them into one bright beam, and shot it into the monster’s mouth.
Then he immediately activated the second glacier talisman!
He did not want to give the monster any opportunities to counterattack him. Although this kind of fighting method would consume him a lot of Yuan Qi, he needed to prevent the monster from calling for help. He also needed to finish the fight as soon as possible.
He had used glacier talisman and sword Qi this type of combination attack before. It was at the time when he was trying to fight the flaming bird.
However, the purple flame monster was not weaker than the flaming bird. Although Chu Yunsheng was fully prepared, its long antennas still hit him several times and left huge dents in the armour.
Chu Yunsheng needed the antennas. That was why he did not attempt to cut it off when the monster whipped him. Even when he was wrapped around by the antennas sometimes, he would only use the talisman to freeze it first, and then break free.
After he activated four glacier talismans, and released sword Qi two times, the flame around the purple flame monster’s body was reduced visibly.
However, Chu Yunsheng forgot one very important thing. It was that the monster not only communicated through sound, but they also communicated through other mediums as well.
All the insects seemed to have received the purple flame monster’s call, and they all started to run toward the huge hole.
Chu Yunsheng also heard the ground movements that were caused by the swarm; he needed to hurry up end this right now.
He needed to unleash the sword Qi inside its body. Only in that way, would it be able to heavily injure this monster.
Chu Yunsheng gritted his teeth and charged out when the monster had just broken free from the 5th glacier talisman. He was like a lightning bolt, flying toward the monster, and forcibly stabbed his sword into the monster’s heavily protected mouth. Then he tried to unleash the sword Qi twice while the sword was still inside its mouth!
If the sword was not upgraded and if he did not cast out sword Qi several times earlier to damage the sh.e.l.ls around its mouth, he would not have been able to stab the sword into the mouth.
However, this attack method was extremely dangerous. While unleas.h.i.+ng the sword Qi, he could not dodge the monster’s attack and its purple fire shock waves.
All he could do was try to unleash the sword Qi as quickly as possible, then cast out one more glacier talismans before it could unleash the purple fire shock waves.
Its antennas were constantly whipping his amour. Luckily, the power was a lot of weaker now. However, his heart quickly sank as he saw the purple fiery rings appear around his body.
The shock waves flew towards him almost the same time when he cast out the sword Qi.
He gritted his teeth and withstood the blazing fire shock wave attack.
He could almost feel the fire penetrating the armour and the energy s.h.i.+eld and directly burned his body.
He felt like his body was melting.
Meanwhile, the screeching sound made by the swarm was getting louder and louder, the golden-sh.e.l.led insect and the little tiger were trying to delay the swarm as much as they could.
However, even with that, he still did not have much time left.
‘f.u.c.k!’
Chu Yunsheng cursed in pain and unleashed the sword Qi inside its mouth the second time!
The purple flame monster finally lost its courage to fight. It was scared and it wanted to run away.
If someone told the people inside Jin Ling city that this monster attempted to run away, probably no one would ever believe that.
However, its internal organ was heavily damaged by the sword Qi twice. All it could do right now was to try to run away and attempt to recover. It was trying its best to use its antennas to wrap Chu Yunsheng around and throw him away, and then it quickly turned around and tried to climb up the hole.
The huge hole finally revealed its advantage. It was near the river and had been bombarded by the artillery earlier. The hole was deep and the soil around it was very loose. The monster was in a panic and no matter how it tried to climb up, it would still fall down like an ant in the sand trap.
Despite the armour being smoking hot, and Chu Yunsheng was in extreme pain after he was smashed into the wall on the side of the hole, he still dashed towards the monster once again and used the monster seal talisman to lock the purple flame monster.
As he infused all the remaining energy into the talisman, a beam of light was instantly cast onto the struggling monster and started to absorb its energy bit by bit.
Chu Yunsheng could not hold his excitement at the moment. He was about to seal a powerful monster.
Some red-sh.e.l.led insects started to fall into the hole one by one. Chu Yunsheng quickly used the submachine gun to kill them. He could see the golden-sh.e.l.led insect and the little tiger were on the edge of the hole.
Boom…
Finally, before the rest of the swarm arrived, the purple flame monster was sucked into the talisman. Chu Yunsheng immediately cut off the Yuan Qi supply, jumped up, and kicked a red-sh.e.l.led insect’s body that had just fallen off the hole, and then landed on the edge of the hole.
A lot of green-sh.e.l.led insects had appeared in the sky. If he did not leave now, he would not have any chance to leave later.
After taking a deep breath, he got into the back of the golden-sh.e.l.led insect with the little tiger and ordered the golden-sh.e.l.led insect to dig into the ground again. At the same time, he took out the crossbow and fired the frost arrow at the soil that the golden-sh.e.l.led insect had pa.s.sed from its front to its back. The arrow instantly froze the soil and it even froze some red-sh.e.l.led insects that were chasing them.
The tunnel was immediately blocked.
However, it was not over yet. The purple flame monster had a very important position in the swarm. The swarm even sent many golden-sh.e.l.led insects to search for it under the ground.
But locating Chu Yunsheng was not an easy task, especially when he was inside a golden- sh.e.l.led insect. He even ordered the golden-sh.e.l.led insect to pretend to join the search mission.
After failing to find anything, many insects slowly returned back to the swarm one by one. However, Chu Yunsheng still wandered around near the riverside with his golden-sh.e.l.led insects.
Chu Yunsheng was actually quite surprised by the golden-sh.e.l.led insect. It was a miracle that it could live this long after what it had been through. Since he was safe now, and after he fully restored his Yuan Qi, Chu Yunsheng decided to stay near the riverside to hunt some red-sh.e.l.led insects and make some more of absorption talismans.
Now that he had a purple flame monster and level-three offensive talismans, he was finally confident that he would be able to compete with those two aliens.
However, it would take some time for the purple flame monster to recover, so before the monster was fully recovered, he still needed to be careful.
Chu Yunsheng tried to recover the golden-sh.e.l.led insects first, then he spent three days hunting the red-sh.e.l.led insects outside the swarm and used them to make absorption talismans.
Each day, the insects seemed to be more vigilant than before, probably “Min” had already noticed the difference. It was probably able to differentiate the golden-sh.e.l.led insect he sealed and the golden-sh.e.l.led insects inside its swarm now.
Although Jin Ling city had never fired any signal flares, disappearing three days from the city was still quite a long time. Chu Yunsheng did not want to let his family and Ding Yan worry too much, and it was also because it was much more difficult to hunt the red-sh.e.l.led insects now, so he decided to return to the city when the sky just went completely dark.
…. Jin Ling city, Western District, The Office Building….
“Brother Chu, you are finally back! Auntie Chu was so worried about you!” Yao Xiang was finally relieved when he saw Chu Yunsheng.
“It’s okay, I’ll see her later, anything happened in the city during the time I left?” Chu Yunsheng asked.
“Zhu Lingdie came by once, she was looking for you, she said that the cloaked man seemed to have speeded up their plan once again. But the woman in the white dress was strongly against his decision to speed up the plan. They were arguing all the time. I don’t know why, but you may ask brother Ding. He might know!” Yao Xiang thought for a second and said.
“Where is Old Ding?” Chu Yunsheng asked. Apart from defending the front line, Ding Yan hardly ever came out of the office building, so he was curious.
“Went out for a meeting. Recently, GCH is discussing some kind of entrance to the anti-world every day. GCH needs a lot of dark warriors’ cooperation. So brother Ding is there to help them.” Yao Xiang answered.
Chu Yunsheng nodded his head. Although Yao Xiang did not know many things, from the information he told him, Chu Yunsheng realized that he also needed to speed up now.
Who knows what would be inside the anti-world.
