Chapter 343 - The Battle Between the Commanders

Panda Novel

The two monsters fought fiercely, treating one another as their mortal enemy.

Meanwhile, in the underground cavern, Zhang Xiaohou had refined the Earth Element Soul Seed, the Flowing Mud. He could feel himself soaring across the sky.

It was Zhang Xiaohou’s first time obtaining a Soul Seed. It had improved his strength significantly. Now he could even accomplish some missions that groups would have trouble doing, all on his own!

“This Flowing Mud is one of the best among the Earth Element Soul Seeds I’ve seen. It’s firm as a rock when it solidifies, and can turn into a vicious mud that is adhesive and poisonous as it softens,” said Li Man.

Zhang Xiaohou felt slightly embarrassed, as he did not expect the two would give him the Soul Seed just like that.

The Flowing Mud Soul Seed did give Zhang Xiaohou two different feelings. As Li Man had mentioned, it had two different attributes. It was rare for a Soul Seed to have different attributes. Not only did it improve Zhang Xiaohou’s Earth Element power, it also granted him different ways of utilizing his Earth Element.

For example, most people would use Earth Wave to alter their location. Those who were adept with it could use it as fluctuating quicksand to hinder an enemy’s movement.

However, the Flowing Mud’s Earth Wave would end up laying a huge swampy trap. The enemy would find their legs stuck in the mud, which not only obstructed their movement, but the Water Element poison would also penetrate them through the mud…

Zhang Xiaohou could tell that his strength had multiplied!

As he thought, following Brother Fan was definitely a wise choice. Ordinary Magicians would not even have enough money to buy a Soul Seed after saving up for all their lives, while he had been given an extraordinary Soul Seed for free!

“Don’t feel embarrassed, it’s what you deserve. You put your life at stake for it,” Mo Fan clapped Zhang Xiaohou’s shoulders.

Zhang Xiaohou had played an important role in the plan. Besides, he had sold all his possessions just to get him two Soul Essences. There was no way Mo Fan would mistreat his stupid brother, and they had conveniently found the Soul Seed by coincidence. Was there any reason he wouldn’t be giving it to Zhang Xiaohou?

“Mm!” Zhang Xiaohou nodded heavily.

“Let’s head up,” said Li Man.

“Let’s go.”

“It would be great if they were both dead…”

——

The trio quickly returned to the surface and ran toward the center of the swamp.

They could hear the great collisions between the two monsters from a good distance away. Mo Fan could not help but feel impressed by their vitality. They had spent quite a long time resting underground, and yet the two creatures were still fighting one another.

Suddenly, a giant limb the size of a tree slammed onto the ground in front of them.

They quickly reacted and dodged aside. The centipede’s limb was fairly sharp. It looked like a giant scythe being hurled in their direction, leaving Zhang Xiaohou’s heart racing wildly.

“The giant centipede only has six legs remaining!” Zhang Xiaohou pointed at the Giant Poisonous Centipede and blurted out with joy.

In the air above the swamp, the Giant Poisonous Centipede was wriggling its lengthy body nimbly as it flung its limbs hard at the Xuanwu Giant Lizard!

The Xuanwu Giant Lizard used the shell on its back as a shield. However, a huge crack had surfaced on the large shield, showing the outstanding power of the Giant Poisonous Centipede’s move.

The Xuanwu Giant Lizard fell heavily into the swamp. The blow was fairly strong. It took the Xuanwu Giant Lizard quite some time to gather its feet…

The Giant Poisonous Centipede did not give the Xuanwu Giant Lizard any time to catch its breath. It wrapped its limbs around the Xuanwu Giant Lizard’s short neck, trying to snap its neck straight away.

The Xuanwu Giant Lizard struggled miserably. Its relatively short limbs were completely useless in a situation like this. Besides, it could no longer use its full strength due to the effects of the poison.

Considering that staying in the mud would in fact restrict its own movements, the Xuanwu Giant Lizard dashed out from the swamp and sprinted forward.

The giant centipede was still chained to the Xuanwu Giant Lizard’s neck. Either the Xuanwu Giant Lizard had discovered the presence of the humans who started all this, or it was only running in a random direction, but the Xuanwu Giant Lizard was somehow charging straight towards where the trio was standing at.

The three quickly hid themselves. A moment later, they saw a gigantic creature with a giant centipede wrapped around its neck slamming into the walls of the valley…

The trees were like a bunch of weeds in the eyes of the two creatures. The mountain wall was merely a wall made of tiny rocks to them.

The Xuanwu Giant Lizard felt like it was suffocating as its neck was clutched tight. It crazily slammed into the wall, trying to knock the Giant Poisonous Centipede off its head.

The Giant Poisonous Centipede was determined to gamble with its life. This was the final blow it would deal to the Xuanwu Giant Lizard. If it ended up being flung away from the Xuanwu Giant Lizard’s head, it would surely be smashed up by the Xuanwu Giant Lizard’s trampling claws, as it could no longer escape in time with its remaining limbs. As such, no matter how hard the Xuanwu Giant Lizard slammed into the walls, the Giant Poisonous Centipede held onto its head tightly. The blood and fluid spurting from its body sprayed over the Xuanwu Giant Lizard’s body. Just a while longer, and the poison would penetrate into its enemy. When that happened, the Xuanwu Giant Lizard would find its head being separated from the rest of its body!

Their thunderous movement was incredibly shocking, leaving holes and ravines in the ground and on the mountain walls.

Blood and pieces of flesh were scattered across the place. The two Commander-level demon beasts were having their final showdown!

Blood and body fluid!

Any fluid inside the Giant Poisonous Centipede was deadly poisonous. They were splashing onto the Xuanwu Giant Lizard’s skin, penetrated through the pores, or entered its body through its wounds.

The Xuanwu Giant Lizard was dyed purple, a sign that it was deeply contaminated by the poison.

As a matter of fact, the Xuanwu Giant Lizard had had the upper hand throughout the battle. It had torn the Giant Poisonous Centipede’s limbs off one by one, and managed to shatter its carapace, too.

However, as the battle dragged on further, the effects of the poison grew more terrifying. The Xuanwu Giant Lizard did not expect that it would fall to its enemy’s poison in the end.

It could feel its body turning numb, as its limbs were completely paralyzed. It could no longer move its body…

It was feeling an incredible pain in its neck. It had failed to smash the centipede into pieces with its final slam into the wall, which in return marked its defeat!

For many years, the Xuanwu Giant Lizard had managed to drive the Giant Poisonous Centipede away with ease. However, in a battle where both of the creatures went all out, the latter proved to be more deadly…

——

The giant mountain of meat slowly collapsed to the ground!

The poison had spread across its entire body. Its neck was dislocated, as it had been half-snapped by the Giant Poisonous Centipede.

It was not fully snapped, as the Giant Poisonous Centipede had lost its strength, too.

It had lost another three limbs due to the impacts from the collisions. It only had three limbs remaining, while its entire body was covered in wounds.

It proudly raised its head and screamed into the sky, declaring to the beasts in the valley that it had finally reclaimed its territory!
