Chapter 448: Chapter 323: Gorgeous Counterattack, Ran Wood Trap
Translator: 549690339
As Chu Mu summoned the Demon Tree Warrior, Luo Peng, wearing a black mask, also completed his summoning.
Luo Peng summoned an extremely mainstream Elemental World Soul Pet—the Storm Season Elf.
Storm Season Elf: Elemental Realm – Wind Attribute – Elf Clan – Storm Season Sub-clan – Commander Level
The body of the Storm Season Elf is entirely a swirling airflow, and even its gaze can pierce directly through its body, revealing the objects behind it.
Although the Storm Season Elf has no real form, any object that approaches it will certainly be flung away by its powerful rotating airstream.
While remaining stationary, the Storm Season Elf is like a Wind Dragon Wrap constantly revolving around its body, providing protection to the elf.
The Wind Dragon Wrap of the Storm Season Elf summoned by Luo Peng reached the eighth level. Fortunately, Chu Mu did not summon Zhan Ye, otherwise, it would be impossible for Zhan Ye to attack the Storm Season Elf, who was protected by the Wind Dragon Wrap at all times.
“Eighth Rank First Stage – Quasi-Monarch. Fortunately, your Demon Tree Warrior recently upgraded from a quasi-monarch to a low-grade monarch, otherwise, it would be no match for this Storm Season Elf,” said Master Li.
Chu Mu’s expression became more serious. There was no mutual restraint between Wood Type and Elemental Soul Pets. In terms of stages and levels, both sides were evenly matched. If neither the Demon Tree Warrior nor the Storm Season Elf had any trump cards, the battle would likely turn into a war of attrition that was difficult to determine a victor.
“Begin!”
With the order from the Main Judge, the battle began! The opening scene of this battle was the interweaving of a dozen Ran Wood Thorns in the air with a cold blue light and dozens of chaotic and unordered wind blades in the air.
As Chu Mu had previously predicted, it was tough to separate the Demon Tree Warrior from the Storm Season Elf. With an extremely high defense power that had reached the eighth level, the Storm Season Elf’s skills with a cast time of less than two seconds could not genuinely harm the Demon Tree Warrior.
However, the Demon Tree Warrior’s skills similarly struggled to trap the formless soul pet. The battle between the two soul pets became extremely cautious.
The multi-skilled interference of the Demon Tree Warrior prevented the Storm Season Elf from casting its eighth-level Wind Skill, while the Storm Season Elf did not expose the low-level weakness that allowed the Demon Tree Warrior’s roots to entrap it.
The single-control battle was a complete test of the two Soul Pet Masters’ mastery of their pet’s basic abilities. There were no flashy skills, no lofty techniques, just back and forth, both consuming each other’s combat power.
“If it continues like this, the Storm Season Elf will definitely not be able to keep up its consumption. As long as the Demon Tree Warrior has stamina, it can keep using abilities. The Storm Season Elf’s mental energy, on the other hand, is always being consumed,” someone soon commented.
“Neither of them is summoning their second pet, I don’t know how long this stalemate will last…” Yu Sui said.
“The Storm Season Elf has wind spirits that can recover mental energy faster, and the Demon Tree Warrior has high defense, strong vitality, and doesn’t give the Storm Season Elf a chance to unleash its eighth-level ability. It’s hard to say who’s weaker or stronger,” Ting Lan commented softly.
“It depends on who loses patience and who exposes their weaknesses first. However, this Demon Tree Warrior is indeed powerful; if placed in a large group of Soul Pets, it would certainly be a killing machine…” Team Leader Dakun said.
As everyone was discussing, the situation on the battlefield suddenly changed!
An invisible gust of wind blew through Luo Peng’s hair. The black-masked Hunting Rookie King had unknowingly started reciting a spell!
“Evil Flame Cover!”
The seventh-level soul technique incantation was completed within a second, and instantly two crimson flame strands appeared on both sides of the Storm Season Elf!
The red brilliance suddenly rose, and the two light beams traced two different arcs around the Storm Season Elf. These two arcs of flame connected in front of the Storm Season Elf, then the ends of the flame arcs joined and intense flames erupted, completely enveloping the Storm Season Elf within the curves of the fire!
“Nine Gale Burst!” Almost as soon as the protection was complete for the Storm Season Elf, Luo Peng issued an eighth-level skill command to his soul pet!
An eighth-level wind skill required three seconds of casting time. It was clear that the Evil Flame Cover was used to protect the Storm Season Elf from having its full skill interrupted!
Chu Mu knew Luo Peng’s intentions as soon as he started reciting the spell, but he recited it too quickly for Chu Mu to stop him.
Chu Mu also knew that the Demon Tree Warrior wouldn’t be able to break the Evil Flame Cover’s defense within three seconds. He decisively jumped in front of the Demon Tree Warrior, making the Demon Tree Warrior cross its arms and bend his body, protecting Chu Mu inside.
“Root Network!”
“Ran Wood Wrap!”
“Wood Finger Prison!”
Three releases, Chu Mu knew the power of the eighth-level wind skill. After protecting himself, he didn’t let the Demon Tree Warrior hold anything back, using the Root Network and Ran Wood Wrap to maintain defense, while solidifying his body with Wood Finger Prison.
“Charming Pet-Ice Crystal Armor!” These skills were still not enough, Chu Mu didn’t conserve his own soul power, copying the Ice-Feathered Spirit’s defense skills, covering the Demon Tree Warrior with thick Ice Crystal Armor, elevating the Demon Tree Warrior’s defense to another level.
Finally, Nine Gale Burst was completed!
In the three seconds, the high protective nets surrounding the battlefield were already visibly shaking. All debris on the battlefield was thrown into the air, making the area extremely chaotic and filled with a destructive atmosphere!
Nine majestic gales formed, and the power of the Evil Flame Cover transformed into a part of the gale, creating a force that combined the biting cold and scorching heat!
“Whooooooooooooooooooooo…”
While the magic tree warrior’s Wood Finger Prison firmly clamped itself to the ground, the strong air currents had already lifted several layers of the earth. The destructive tearing force threatened to turn the Demon Tree Warrior into a pile of debris!
“The power of a Level 8 Full Term…” Chu Mu, hiding in the protection of the Demon Tree Warrior’s arms, clenched his teeth. The power of the Level 8 Full Term had severely damaged the Level 8 Intermediate Demon Tree Warrior. The Demon Tree Warrior’s Ran Wood Armor was shattered, and its skin had long gashes…
“Reacting quite fast, adding an ice defense to his own Soul Pet.” Luo Peng revealed a smirk.
Chu Mu clearly realized that this eighth-level skill would absorb the fiery evil flames, and if he didn’t use the Ice Crystal Armor, the flames that caused heavy damage to wood types would have inflicted even more damage on the Demon Tree Warrior!
However, the current effect was already excellent. Luo Peng was sure that this skill caused great harm to the Demon Tree Warrior. Now his opponent must summon the second pet and even directly summon the third pet to make up for the current disadvantage.
“Ye!”
Indeed, Chu Mu had to summon the second pet!
The Storm Season Elf continued to release its skills after the interval. After several attacks, the injured Demon Tree Warrior could hardly fight back!
The black layer reversed the light and shadows, and the eerie Night Thunder Dream Beast was summoned, appearing mysteriously between light and shadow. Its white feathers with graceful lines floated gently across…
As soon as the Night Thunder Dream Beast entered the battlefield, it cast Dream Weariness, cleverly interrupting the Storm Season Elf’s next wind skill.
“He summoned the second pet first. It seems that the opponent is very strong. I wonder who the senior is…” Dakun spoke.
“It’s also a good opportunity for us to vent!” Zhang Ying still held a grudge against Chu Mu, and cheered when Chu Mu’s soul pet was injured.
Since he held the upper hand, Luo Peng naturally took the opportunity to counterattack. Since Chu Mu summoned the dark-attribute demon spirit, Luo Peng decisively chose the Light Vine!
Light Vine: Plant Realm – Vine Family – Bright Vine Clan – Leader Level
“Eighth-rank fourth-stage high-level commander – Light Vine. It’s obviously inferior to your seventh-rank ninth-stage quasi-monarch – Night Thunder Dream Beast; however, both your princ.i.p.al vine attribute and sub-light attribute are completely restrained by the Light Vine!” The words of Fox Elder floated out.
The summoning of the second pet is crucial. As long as the opponent has a Soul Pet that counters attributes, even if there is a difference in stages and levels, they will resolutely summon it and firmly control the dual-control battle situation!
Chu Mu’s monarch Night Thunder Dream Beast was clearly stronger than the commander-level Light Vine. However, the versatile vine type restrained the fast demon spirit. Light restrained dark, and it was a complete mess in terms of attributes.
“It’s probably about time to tell the victory from the defeat.” Many people were certain that the current situation was already very clear.
“One misstep, and the whole game is lost. Their Soul Pets’ strength isn’t much different, but in terms of how they use their Soul Pets in battle…”
“Ran Wood Trap, activate!”
Suddenly, Chu Mu’s voice rang out!
Before anyone could make more comments, Chu Mu gave his Soul Pet instructions in an unusually calm tone!
Ran Wood Trap, a seventh-level trap skill!
The injured Demon Tree Warrior’s eyes suddenly radiated a green glow, this special radiance contrasted with the green gleam at the Storm Season Elf’s feet created a mutual reflection!
“Oh!!!!!!!!!”
With a roar from the Demon Tree Warrior, the Ran Wood Trap suddenly activated!
The ground beneath the Storm Season Elf suddenly collapsed, turning into numerous twisting green pythons with a ten-meter diameter in the Ran Wood Trap. The Storm Season Elf had no time to react and was tightly wrapped up by these roots, and dragged into the Ran Wood Trap!
“Fourth release !!”
Luo Peng’s eyes widened as he saw his Storm Season Elf being dragged into the trap, suddenly realizing that this Demon Tree Warrior had only released three skills previously!
Releasing only three skills was not because the Demon Tree Warrior was thrown off by the eighth-level skill. Instead, its fourth skill was hidden!
As Chu Mu was verbally commanding the Demon Tree Warrior to release “Root Network, Ran Wood Wrap, Wood Finger Prison” these three skills, he also used mental communication to tell the Demon Tree Warrior the fourth skill: “Ran Wood Trap”.
And this skill quietly lay beneath the Storm Season Elf’s feet while it excitedly unleashed its eighth-level skill!
Chu Mu’s counterattack caused a sensation among the people present!
No one had expected that this young man’s mind would be so meticulous. Facing such a powerful eighth-level skill, not only did he think about how to defend himself, but he even planned for a counterattack!!!
“An amazing control ability!” Even Dakun, who had some anger towards Chu Mu, couldn’t help but exclaim!
The others also nodded heavily, agreeing that it was an unexpected and gorgeous counterattack.
“Remember, his Demon Tree Warrior seems to have a special blood siphon skill…” Ting Lang pondered.
