Chapter 411 - Ground Dragon
There were too many Ancient Blood Mosquitoes as they filled the skies and swarmed over like locusts.
Even though they knew the weakness of the Ancient Blood Mosquitoes, it was inevitable for them to have openings in their defense, allowing the Ancient Blood Mosquitoes to close in!
Those bloodstained, thin and long mouthparts were extremely sharp. Once a cultivator was pierced by them, bloody holes would be formed and they would be sucked dry in the blink of an eye, leaving behind nothing but a skeleton!
Initially, cultivators died as the group continued ahead, causing gaps in the formation.
Under Tang Yu’s lead, the group gathered even more closely and tightly, covering the gaps so that the formation wouldn’t be destroyed and torn apart.
Although they were similarly at six meridian Foundation Establishment, Su Zimo’s spirit energy was much richer than the Battle Hall cultivators of Elixir Yang Sect and was comparable to that of a seven meridian Foundation Establishment Cultivator!
Coupled with his supreme-grade flying swords and Ethereal Sword, Su Zimo’s 18 flying swords created an immense amount of damage ahead and were unbeatable!
No Ancient Blood Mosquito could reach him as blood mists appeared continuously ahead along with the tragic cries of the former.
“Ground Dragons! It’s Ground Dragons!”
Uncle Liang exclaimed in shock.
Ground Dragons were not dragons and usually lived underground. Although they were shaped like anacondas, they had no scales and their bodies were filled with spiral patterns instead. They were dark red in color with no eyes and were extremely sensitive to light and trembles on the ground.
There was a huge circular mouth on their heads with rims of sharp fangs within and they could grind any living beings into mincemeat with every squirm!
The most terrifying thing was that Ground Dragons had an exceptional regeneration capability!
Even if they were cut into several pieces, they could recover to their original states as long as they dug back underground and rested!
Any living being that was dragged underground by a Ground Dragon was most likely doomed and even ancient remnant beasts were no exception!
Although Su Zimo had warned them, most cultivators at the back took it lightly and were completely defenseless; some of them even assumed lotus positions on the ground.
The moment the ground caved in, those cultivators were dragged underground by the Ground Dragons with only time for a single tragic cry for help.
Some cultivators soared into the air hurriedly but they were devoured by the Ground Dragons in a single mouthful they could react, causing blood to spray everywhere in a miserable manner!
Some cultivators summoned their flying swords hurriedly to cut the Ground Dragons into two.
However, the Ground Dragons did not die and still possessed extremely powerful killing power even with half their bodies left!
The ground was stained scarlet with blood.
“Hurry, run!”
“We have to get out of here quickly!”
A series of shouts sounded within the chaos.
The cone-shaped formation was created once more, albeit somewhat scattered, and they rushed towards the valley under Su Zimo’s lead.
The cultivators only managed to shake off the Ground Dragons after a full 15 minutes of escaping and slowed down.
Most of them were drenched in sweat with fear and unease.
This escape had too much of a toll on everyone’s mental state and energy; even Ji Chengtian’s forehead was covered with a layer of sweat.
Su Zimo looked as per normal.
His eyes were bright, his breathing was steady and his physique seemed unlimited like the vast skies and bottomless seas.
It seemed like everything that happened was insignificant to him!
Tang Yu looked down at the remaining Elixir Yang Sect cultivators with a sorrowful expression.
Elixir Yang Sect only lost slightly more than a hundred people after breaking free from the Ancient Blood Mosquitoes.
However, they had only lingered for a moment longer at that place and almost two hundred cultivators were dead!
Recalling Su Zimo’s suggestion, Tang Yu felt even more guilty!
She bore at least half the responsibility for the deaths of over two hundred cultivators!
If only she had been more decisive, perhaps…
