740 The giant fish monster (1)
As soon as the Overlord monster appeared, it opened its huge mouth and swallowed a cultivator who could not Dodge in time!
Then, it swept its huge tail in the mud, and a wave of mud that was several meters high came crashing down.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Horde leader monster burrowed into the mud and tried to attack from below. However, it was blocked by the two-star horde leader of the cultivator team and jumped out of the mud again.
When the mud hit them, the cultivators who were on the safe route didn’t dare to run around, in case they fell into the deep pit in the mud, so they could only take the blow.
By the time the mud wave dissipated, these foreign cultivators had all turned into mud men, with stinky mud dripping from their bodies.
Fortunately, because of the two stars horde leader’s resistance, the giant strange fish didn’t have the chance to launch a sneak attack. Otherwise, they would have suffered even greater losses!
After quickly wiping away the mud in front of them so that their vision wasn’t affected, the cultivators pulled out the javelins on their backs and threw them at the Lord-tier monster.
Although the monster’s level was not low, its body’s defense was not strong, so the javelins pierced through it without exception.
Although these javelins were about the size of toothpicks to the giant fish monster, it was still in so much pain that it roared repeatedly.
It didn’t feel good to have so many “toothpicks” stuck in his body.
Seeing this, the leading two stars horde leader cultivator also roared at the monster. The chain spear in his hand was like a poisonous snake coming out of its hole, shooting out with a cold light. In the blink of an eye, it had already pierced the monster’s forehead.
The monster shrieked in pain and immediately twisted its body, which was full of javelins, and pounced toward the cultivators.
At this moment, the battle was a competition of strength. In this aspect, Lord ranked monsters had a huge advantage.
As soon as the beast’s huge body hit them, several foreign cultivators were sent flying, screaming in pain. When they landed on the ground, they were completely submerged in the mud.
Compared to where the cultivators were standing, the place where the foreign cultivators had fallen was bottomless. Therefore, their bodies sank rapidly and were submerged in mud in the blink of an eye.
“Hurry up and save them! It’ll be too late if we delay any longer!”
As the leader exclaimed, the other members of the group immediately pulled on the rope around their waists and pulled their unconscious companions up.
However, a large amount of mud had already been poured into their mouths and noses, so they had to be dealt with. Otherwise, they would die from suffocation!
The most miserable alien cultivator not only had a pit in his chest, but his body was also covered in blood-sucking soft-bodied bugs that were wriggling constantly.
“Hold on for a little longer, we’ll be ashore soon!”
He glanced at the leader who was fighting with the monster and quickly turned around to explore the way. His movements were extremely fast, clearly trying to buy time for his companions.
However, for some unknown reason, his expression kept changing, alternating between green and white. Occasionally, there would also be a flash of pain.
Especially at this moment, everyone was busy running for their lives to save their comrades, so how could they notice this?
It was less than 100 meters away from the shore, but they had to make a long detour to reach it safely.
The guide finished guiding the way in one breath and used all his strength to climb out of the mud, but he directly fell to the ground and fainted.
It was only now that everyone realized that below the waist of the leader, there were many blood-sucking soft-bodied bugs. Two pieces of muscle on his thigh had been torn off, and blood was slowly oozing out of the mud-covered wound.
It was obvious that the leader was trying to buy time, so he ignored the bites of the blood-sucking bugs and the wounds caused by the strange fish and rushed to the shore of the swamp with one breath.
He was exhausted and had lost a lot of blood, so it was normal for him to faint.
When his two disciples saw this, they immediately rushed up and patted their master’s body, expelling the blood-sucking soft worms.
Like leeches, this kind of mollusk could not be pulled by force. If it was pulled, its head would fall off, and the wound would not heal easily. It might even rot and leave a big hole!
While the two young cultivators were resuscitating their master, the other members of the cultivator team also came ashore one after another. They didn’t care about the mud on their bodies and quickly began to treat the seriously injured. At the same time, they also used bows and javelins to support the leader of the two stars feudal lord team.
Under everyone’s combined attacks, the Lord tier monster finally became timid and directly burrowed into the mud to escape!
At this moment, all the cultivators heaved a sigh of relief and quickly helped their companion who had just fought the monster to clean up his wounds after he went ashore.
In the entire process of being attacked by the strange fish, one cultivator was killed, seven cultivators were seriously injured, and the light injuries were not counted.
The members of the cultivator team had long been accustomed to this scene, and there was not much sadness on their mud-covered faces.
They had been prepared for this situation. They knew that this time it was someone else, but maybe the next time it would be them.
Therefore, these cultivators ‘greatest wish was to earn enough money as soon as possible and then get away from this life where their lives were hanging by a thread.
Next, he would either find a city to join or find a few trustworthy partners to find a secret place to cultivate in seclusion.
However, it was not easy to join a city. The city Lords preferred to train their own cultivators because they were trustworthy and carried out their orders thoroughly.
The cultivators who joined halfway were not completely trusted, so very few wild cultivators successfully obtained the qualification to Live in Lou city.
To put it bluntly, loucheng was a kind of family-like xenophobic force. They rarely trusted and accepted outsiders except for the residents of their own loucheng!
In fact, there were many wild cultivators who were very reluctant to become cultivators of loucheng. They were not like most ordinary Wanderers who desired to be residents of loucheng.
Because once his identity changed, it was equivalent to being controlled, and he would no longer have the freedom he had in the past.
Furthermore, the essence of loucheng was to conquer and plunder. Therefore, the cultivators of loucheng spent almost their entire lives in battle and killing, and even their offspring could not avoid it.
These wild cultivators were used to being free and unrestrained. In addition, their strength was not bad, so of course they did not want to be restrained.
Therefore, many cultivators would choose to cultivate in seclusion to avoid Lou Cheng, the war machine, and then live their lives in peace.
Unfortunately, in this world, the number of wild cultivators who could successfully do this was really very few!
There was a saying that “people in the pugilistic world can’t help themselves.” In fact, many times, wild cultivators also couldn’t help themselves.
At this time, Tang Zhen and the other stowaways also climbed up to the shore with their bodies full of stinky mud.
In the attack of the strange fish just now, they were very lucky. None of them had lost their lives.
The members of the cultivator team glanced at them and then ignored them, as if they didn’t exist.
They had led the stowaways over the dangerous mountains more than once and naturally knew how high the casualty rate was. The stowaways were safe now because the good show was yet to come.
The swamp they had just passed was only the edge of the dangerous mountain range. There was still a long way to go before they reached the truly dangerous area.
Only by crossing that area and not being seriously injured could they pass through the dangerous mountain range and reach the other battle zone!
