Chapter 285: Shocking, This Man Actually Held Back the Heavenly King With His Own Strength
The thin water screen blocked the whistling wind.
On both sides, stone monolith-shaped buildings retreated from Su Hao’s sight rapidly, leaving only afterimages in the corners of his eyes.
He heard a deafening roar and looked back. The Gargoyle Dragon with four thick arms was chasing him very closely.
inIts body was huge, and it couldn’t easily fly past the stone monolith buildings like the Dumb Unicorn. However, the monarch rank Gargoyle Dragon didn’t have any intention of going around and flew straight towards the buildings.
St.u.r.dy, towering stone monolith buildings were blasted apart like fragile tofu. Countless large and small rocks flew out, hitting other buildings or hitting the ground. A series of booms rang out, but the Gargoyle Dragon’s speed wasn’t affected much. The distance between them was closing.
“Why are you chasing so fiercely? Do you have to go so far!?”
“He must be jealous of my handsomeness!”
Gargoyle Dragon… It seemed like that Heavenly King of Super Ugliness only Su Hao in its sights.
Su Hao was also clear that apart from being handsome, his enemies were also jealous of his talent. Among the explorers, he was one of the few with a tender face. The only one younger than him was probably Lan Qing.
He was both handsome and talented. His head alone was worth four to seven entire bodies.
He was coveted!
“But looking at it this way, the people from the Gargoyle Tribe may not be clear about the exact location of the Planet Aquamarine entrance… or it may be that Heavenly King of Super Ugliness doesn’t intend to attack the entrance.”
It was understandable.
If the Gargoyle Tribe breached the entrance to Planet Aquamarine, should they also step into Planet Aquamarine?
The Union was worried that the alien tribe would cause a large amount of destruction on Planet Aquamarine and was afraid that the people there would be plunged into misery and suffering. However, the Heavenly Kings of the tribe were also worried that they would die if they went deep into the enemy area.
Even if they were to fight around the entrance, they would also have to worry about the possible dangers. Who knows when a bald… Cough, when a Crown-level Sprite would show up and beat them to pulp.
The Heavenly King from the alien tribe was also human. It was normal for him to choose a method with high benefits and low risk.
“In that case, it’s even more impossible for me to lure Heavenly King of Super Ugliness towards the entrance.”
Dumb Unicorn took out the results of hundreds of days of special training and ran for its life. The cloud formed by special talents under its hooves maintained the same speed as the Dumb Unicorn’s sprinting. It didn’t slow down much just because it was supporting Big Fat Bear and Bright Night Spirit.
At most, it was a little lacking in endurance.
Dumb Unicorn was a long-distance runner to begin with. Even if it lost half of its endurance, it wouldn’t get tired. It would get only high once it started running.
Even Yama Ghost King couldn’t catch up to it without using Shadow Travel.
However, the ferocious Four-Armed Gargoyle Dragon was still close on their tail. A yellow light beam shot out of its mouth, brus.h.i.+ng past Dumb Unicorn’s cloud and flying over, hitting the buildings in front. Giant rocks rumbled and fell, blocking the escape route.
Of course, Dumb Unicorn wasn’t afraid of these huge rocks, but it couldn’t avoid being obstructed. At this moment, it was less than a hundred meters away from the monarch rank Gargoyle Dragon. If it got any closer, there would be a gravitational field that could squeeze through the air and envelop it.
Su Hao’s mind raced, and he was able to determine how the situation would unfold in an instant.
“Change plans again, Ah Yan, Shadow Travel!”
After calming down for a while, the Yama Ghostlord rolled up its robe, and the few sprites disappeared. It integrated into the shadows and flew away at maximum speed, appearing hundreds of meters away in the blink of an eye, pa.s.sing through the “rocky area”.
Then, with a shake of its robe, it spat out all the sprites. Dumb Unicorn’s four hooves landed on the ground, and immediately connected seamlessly. With a “Neighhh”, it continued to run forward.
The distance between him and that Heavenly King of Super Ugliness finally widened a little.
Su Hao took a breath and glanced at the interface.
At this point, b.u.t.terfly was fine but Dazed Crow was still suffering from moderate injuries so Su Hao didn’t summon them back.
That would only increase the burden of Yama Ghost King.
“If all I had was Dazed Crow, then I would be worried. But with b.u.t.terfly around, there won’t be any problems. b.u.t.terfly is well versed in tactics such as hiding, being steady, and keeping us alive.”
While there was still a signal from the contract, Su Hao gave b.u.t.terfly the command to “kill a few more people without taking any risks”.
Su Hao, on the other hand, focused on dealing with the pursuers behind him.
“He’s a Heavenly King. That’s not someone I should be fighting at my age.”
At this moment…
“Roar!”
A circle of light blossomed around the body of the four-armed Gargoyle Dragon, and its flying speed suddenly increased. The stone monolith buildings were smashed into pieces, and the falling rock debris actually stopped mid-air. It then shot towards Su Hao like hidden weapons.
“Fire, Intercept!” He ordered.
Big Fat Bear stood up from the cloud, rubbed its palms together, and shot out lightning cannon b.a.l.l.s towards its palms, shattering the huge black rocks with a bang. It then wrapped its arms around itself and suddenly pushed out a huge lightning ball with a diameter of one meter.
The ball of lightning directly crushed many flying rocks, hitting the charging Four-Armed Gargoyle Dragon.
Suddenly, it exploded, and countless thunder arcs covered the Gargoyle Dragon’s huge body.
However, the thunder arcs were quickly erased by the brownish yellow halo around it.
“What the f*ck! Monarch rank is indeed too fierce! Big Fat Bear’s attack had only scratched its itch.”
After all, Big Fat Bear wasn’t very good at long-range attacks.
Bright Night Spirit, on the other hand, was too weak.
Yama Ghost King had just been born, and the power of its unique skill was still inferior to the big fat bear.
“Hu ~ Hu ~”
Suddenly, amidst the rumbling of explosions, Yama Ghost King’s low cry rang out.
In the surroundings, the panicked and scattered wild ghost-element sprites flying everywhere heard the cry. One by one, the ghosts turned their heads to look at the ferocious Gargoyle Dragon.
The temperature seemed to have dropped several degrees. Many elite-level Nightmare Terrors, Gu Huo birds, and Cabinet University Scholars either leaped forward directly or used their special skills to attack the huge figure.
“Ghost Sprite Commandeering” was not an illusion technique, but an order!
It was an order that was able to make ghost-element sprites obey from the bottom of their hearts!
At the command of the king, hundreds of ghosts came!
The densely packed black beams and shadow energy b.a.l.l.s blasted over. Some missed, but most hit the huge Gargoyle Dragon as it didn’t dodge.
Dozens of unique skills of the same source were gathered, one or two of which were even unique skills used by extraordinary-level ghost-element sprites.
Under the resonance, even the yellowish-brown halo on the Gargoyle Dragon’s body darkened, forcing it to let out a furious roar.
“Roar!!!”
Some ghost-element sprites nearby were immediately stunned unconscious.
Those slightly further away trembled. Their screams were sharp and fearful. They turned their heads… and scattered with a boom.
Su Hao was rendered speechless.
Unreliable, unreliable!
He saw that Heavenly King of Super Ugliness was disturbed by the wild ghost for a while. Not only did he not seem angry, but… his eyes raged even more!
He is so ugly, yet he’s still staring at me. It makes me very uncomfortable!
This chase and escape lasted for two more minutes.
Su Hao had narrowly escaped death several times, and with Yama Ghost King’s “Shadow Traverse”, he managed to survive a few more waves.
But each time, the traveling time shortened, and the cool-down intervals were also longer.
A look of victory seemed to appear on the face of Heavenly King of Super Ugliness.
In particular, at this point, Dumb Unicorn had already rushed out of Ghost City. Without any buildings to stop it, the Gargoyle Dragon flew even faster. With a flap of its wings, it raised a gale and sandstorm that filled the sky.
Suddenly, amidst the strong wind and sand, an azure water trail gradually became clearer.
Insignificant water droplets floated on the waterway, and shot towards the huge grayish-red body. Bit by bit, the distance between the two showed signs of widening.
If the enemy was slower, it meant that I was going faster!
Dumb Unicorn continued to flee.
With the construction of the Dumb Unicorn’s Water Path, the Yama Ghost King’s ability as a transport had also improved.
Its shortening travel time and longer cool-downs were only temporary.
“Let’s reduce our speed and give the enemy some hope.”
Otherwise, there was no guarantee that the Heavenly King of Super ugliness wouldn’t give up on us and instead chase after the others.
Su Hao also had to worry about problems that he shouldn’t be worrying about at his age. It really wasn’t easy for him!
On the endless brown earth, the cloud flew in front, and the grayish-red figure chased from behind. From time to time, it would blast out light pillars or roar.
On the left, in the Ghost City that could be seen from afar, flames soared into the sky, smoke and dust filled the air, buildings collapsed one after another… The whole Ghost City was gradually being turned to ruins in the war that had broken out.
The Dumb Unicorn didn’t fly in a straight line, but pa.s.sed through the hills and moved around Ghost City.
To prevent getting lost while fleeing.
Suddenly, the ferocious four-armed Gargoyle Dragon stopped.
“You’re not chasing anymore?”
Su Hao had the intention of getting it to keep chasing, but he didn’t want to overdo it. His survival was more important.
Alas, he could only watch the Gargoyle Dragon fly towards Ghost City.
At this moment, in the northeast direction of Ghost City, the sky suddenly changed color, and a huge monster appeared.
Its body was at least dozens of meters long and had jade-like bones. It looked like a dragon or a centipede as it soared in the sky. Everywhere it pa.s.sed, the weather changed and thunder rolled.
It was a Jade Bone Dragon!
Behind that dragon was a sky-encompa.s.sing Gargoyle Dragon. There were two Gargoyle Dragons.
The army of the tribe had arrived!
“That Jade Bone Dragon is a Crown Sprite?”
“How can a Gargoyle Tribe like yours have a sprite like the Jade Bone Dragon, let alone using it as your main force!”
Su Hao started to really panic.
What if they broke through the entrance… No, as long as the entrance to Planet Aquamarine was sealed off from the alien tribe, then he…
Then, he would be able to return home and write a book on the adventure of the Sprite Summoning Continent!
Su Hao gritted his teeth and made the Dumb Unicorn make a half circle before flying towards the Planet Aquamarine entrance.
Halfway through the flight, a resplendent seven-colored light blossomed at the Planet Aquamarine entrance, piercing through most of the sky like a rainbow.
The reinforcements from the Union had finally arrived in time!
