Chapter 1412 A Disgusting Unknown Monster
Inside the void traveling pa.s.sage, terrible storms raged. Powerful air currents cut at the people like blades, filling their hearts with dread.
Lord Dog waved his paw. His divine sense spread and enveloped Nethery, Foxy, and Flowery, protecting them from the bombardment of the void storms.
But Nether King Er Ha wasn’t so lucky. He could only create an energy s.h.i.+eld around himself to prevent the storm from ripping him apart.
Bu Fang floated in midair. His Vermilion Robe gleamed reddish, fending off all the horrible energy storms around him. He looked rather relaxed, at least more relaxed than Er Ha, whose face was red and appeared to be struggling.
Whitey, on the other hand, did not even open up a s.h.i.+eld. When the energy storms. .h.i.t its body, they only produced a sharp clanging sound.
In the distance, a blood-colored figure hovered in midair. Tentacles stretched out from its back and swayed restlessly, las.h.i.+ng at the air from time to time and cracking the void.
Without question, this was a very horrible creature. The aura emanating from it was no weaker than that of a G.o.d, and even the storms had failed to cause it any harm.
The wars.h.i.+p was blown apart by this creature! What exactly was it? A cosmic monster?
Bu Fang narrowed his eyes. Mu Hongzi had told him about the dangers in the cosmos, and among them were cosmic monsters, which devoured everything they came across. They were literally the woodworm of the cosmos.
However, this thing was a little different from the cosmic monsters, who, according to Mu Hongzi, were mostly social creatures. They always moved in groups, destroying planets and killing all lives wherever they went.
The creature in front of him was alone…
‘System… What exactly is this creature?’ Bu Fang took a deep breath and asked the System in his head.
The System surely knew the answer.
But Bu Fang didn’t hear anything from the System after asking the question. That somewhat surprised him. Could it be that even the System did not know what this creature was?
‘The Host’s level is too low to know the answer.’ The System’s serious voice rang out finally.
Bu Fang paused as if he didn’t think that he would get this answer. His level was too low to know the origin of this creature? In any case, he had no doubt that this creature was not an ordinary cosmic monster!
The monster roared, and the whole pa.s.sage seemed to tremble. The next moment, it sped forward in a stream of blood-colored light with all its swaying tentacles.
As it drew nearer, one of the tentacles thrust out like a spear at Bu Fang’s head, trying to poke a hole through it. Strange patterns could be seen flas.h.i.+ng on it, emanating a deadly aura.
“The Power of Laws?”
Bu Fang was taken aback. Without hesitation, he produced the silver Divine flame and flicked his fingers. The fire leaped out in an instant, shooting toward the tentacles.
A soft hissing sound echoed out as the flame and the tentacle met, and then the flame was extinguished. The tentacle was charred as well, giving off a strange meaty aroma.
The monster howled as if it was in pain. Suddenly, its body grew larger, pressing against the wall of the pa.s.sage and almost cracking it. At the same time, drops of slim fell from its skin, corroding the pa.s.sage.
It was indeed a disgusting and terrible monster.
Lord Dog protected Nethery and the others while looking indifferently at the huge monster. He did not move.
As for Bu Fang, he was fighting the monster. Although he was much weaker in physical strength, his Divine flame and the Power of Laws contained in it were extremely fearsome.
All of a sudden, a Rune of Law emerged over the monster’s tentacle, and then it lashed toward Bu Fang. An explosion erupted at where he was in an instant, while a deafening rumble swept out in all directions. Bu Fang was thrown flying backward by the blast.
“This aura… It’s that black ball-shaped object in the array!” Bu Fang took a deep breath. He couldn’t believe that this thing could use the Power of the Laws!
He could sense that the Law did not belong to the monster but to someone else. At this moment, he thought of the bone Er Ha mentioned, which struck the wars.h.i.+p and still had strings of flesh attached to it.
Had the G.o.d who was guarding the array been eaten by this monster? And it even merged with the G.o.d’s Law? Was this monster really so formidable? Not only had it devoured a G.o.d, but it also comprehended the G.o.d’s Law! If that was the case, who could stop it after it devoured more G.o.ds?!
Fortunately, this monster was found in a remote cosmos. It would be a nightmare if it were in the heart of any Divine Dynasty!
Lord Dog could no longer sit idly by and watch. He threw out a paw and slapped it down toward the monster.
With a thump, the monster burst apart, its body exploding into lumps of sticky things and splattering everywhere, filling the air with a filthy smell. However, the lumps quickly gathered together and formed the monster again.
It could not be killed!
Lord Dog narrowed his eyes. Although his strength suppressed this monster, its incredible ability to recover gave him a headache.
“Bu Fang boy… We have to leave here as soon as possible. The pa.s.sage may collapse if we linger here. If that happens, none of us will be able to leave!” Lord Dog said in a serious voice.
Bu Fang nodded solemnly. He did not want to fight the monster any longer.
But the monster did not want to let him go. It had targeted him and the others. In its eye, Bu Fang and his companions were the most delicious food! As long as it ate them, it would grow stronger!
With its tentacles las.h.i.+ng wildly at the void, the monster threw itself at Bu Fang once again. It was extremely fast, so much so that Bu Fang’s eyes could hardly keep up with its movements. If he had not been releasing his divine sense all the time, he might have been pierced by the monster in an instant!
He produced the Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife, which roared and burst into dazzling light. “A slash… Cutting Immortal Style!”
A huge knife tore through the sky as it sped toward the monster, trying to cut it in half. The blade went into the monster’s body, and yet it did not hurt it even for a bit.
Instead, the monster opened its mouth and spat out a blood-colored knife. It was actually imitating Bu Fang’s move! A terrifying atmosphere spread through the air.
Rumble…
The pa.s.sage began to quiver as if it were about to collapse. Lord Dog threw out another paw, and the monster burst apart again.
“Bu Fang boy! Leave now!” Lord Dog bellowed. Then, he brought Nethery and the others and went into the void, disappearing from the sight as they followed the force of teleportation in the pa.s.sage.
Er Ha, covered in blood, followed them, diving into the void as the mighty force of void traveling tore at his body.
Soon, only Bu Fang and Whitey were left in the pa.s.sage, together with the monster who was crushed by Lord Dog and was slowly recovering.
When it was whole, the monster roared and rushed at Bu Fang again. It wanted to rip him into pieces. Terrible killing intent filled the air.
Bu Fang took a deep breath as he watched the monster approach. His divine sense surged, and immediately, the Divine flame turned invisible and spread out around him.
The monster hissed when the Divine flame touched it and began to slowly burn its body. However, even though the flame managed to burn it, the monster quickly recovered, and then it fixed its b.l.o.o.d.y eye at Bu Fang.
A rapid crackling sound could be heard as cracks emerged and spread around them. The pa.s.sage was about to collapse. Bu Fang knew he could not fight this monster any longer.
He produced a Peris.h.i.+ng Pot and burned it with the Divine flame. Then, he flicked his fingers. The pot turned into a beam of light and sped away.
The monster opened its mouth and devoured the Peris.h.i.+ng Pot!
Rumble…
Even then, the pa.s.sage began to crumble. Without hesitation, Bu Fang took Whitey and flew toward the other end of the pa.s.sage.
With a boom, the pa.s.sage broke into pieces, while Bu Fang and Whitey rushed into a teleport vortex. After they entered it, the explosion spread and consumed the vortex.
…
Meanwhile, on the top floor of a lofty building in Nether Prison…
Mu Hongzi sat cross-legged, sipping a cup of wine. There was a deep look in his eyes as he looked up at the boundless starry sky. Suddenly, he took a deep breath. The light swirling in his eyes gradually faded away, and the images he was looking at disappeared.
“Is that disgusting thing back again?”
