Chapter 139: Mud Swamp Python (Part 2)
Chu Chen looked at the information of the Mud Swamp Python and couldn't help but frown. The opponent's power had already exceeded his expectations. He was somewhat puzzled as to why such a powerful Star Beast would appear in this sewer.
The quality of the Mud Swamp Python reached Elite Level Upper Grade, and it was a water and earth dual attribute Star Beast. With their power, hunting was not difficult, so why did they choose such a harsh environment as their habitat?
Could it be that they had a special fondness for the taste of Long-tailed Water Jet Rat? Obviously, that was impossible.
At this moment, the Mud Swamp Python also discovered Chu Chen and the others. They flicked their tongues, emitting a series of "hiss" sounds, giving a chilling sensation.
After locking onto Chu Chen and the others, the Mud Swamp Python charged straight towards the five of them without any hesitation.
Seeing this, Chu Chen immediately gathered his thoughts and said in a deep voice, "Lei Yao and Nirvana, you'll take the main attack. The four of you will assist from the sidelines."
As soon as Chu Chen finished speaking, Nirvana immediately unleashed Earth Rock Armor and charged forward.
Seeing this, Lei Yao also activated Thunder Armor and followed suit.
Wang Lu and the other three exchanged glances and immediately commanded their Guardian Beasts to assist from the sidelines.
Looking at the approaching Nirvana, a cold gleam flashed in the eyes of the Mud Swamp Python.
With a low roar, water and earth elements swiftly gathered around it.
In a blink of an eye, a dirt-yellow sphere about a meter in diameter formed in front of them.
Under the control of the Mud Swamp Python, six spheres shot straight at Nirvana.
Lei Yao, Angry Wind Elf, and Earth Rock Rat simultaneously released skills to intercept.
"Boom boom boom"
Following a series of dull sounds, the four spheres at the front shattered instantly. However, when they shattered, they scattered a large amount of mud.
The spheres at the back smashed directly into Nirvana.
Nirvana, ready to endure the damage, only felt his body sink for a moment before quickly recovering, as if the dirt-yellow sphere had no power at all.
At this moment, within a range of dozens of meters centered on Nirvana, a deep layer of mud had covered the area, turning it into a swamp thanks to the Mud Swamp Bomb.
Seeing this, Chu Chen immediately realized something. He quickly shouted, "Retreat."
However, his reminder was ultimately a bit too late, as Lei Yao had already stepped into the mud.
Lei Yao immediately felt his body becoming heavy, and with the swamp being very slippery, standing was extremely difficult.
Nirvana's situation was slightly better as it had six slender insect legs, experiencing considerably less resistance in the swamp.
Seeing this, Chu Chen's expression turned grim. The Mud Swamp Bomb didn't have much power; its main function was to create the swamp, and to some extent, this was a miniature domain.
At this moment, six Mud Swamp Pythons had already rushed over. They moved freely through the swamp with their speed being even faster than on solid ground.
Chu Chen, observing this, said in a deep voice, "Attack, don't let them get close."
Hearing this, Wang Lu and the others quickly commanded their Guardian Beasts to use attack skills.
Seeing this, the Mud Swamp Pythons also used Earth Scale Armor to defend.
Their defense power was exceptionally strong. Even when struck by several Guardian Beasts, the Earth Scale Armor only developed a few cracks.
At this moment, the first Mud Swamp Python had already lunged at Nirvana, its snake mouth opening wide to bite.
Without any hesitation, Nirvana raised its Ao Clamp to meet it.
The gaping mouth bit down on the Ao Clamp, emitting a metallic friction sound.
At this moment, the two beasts were grappling, but the Mud Swamp Python had the Giant Power talent and terrain advantage. With a sudden exertion, it flung Nirvana away.
The Mud Swamp Python hissed sharply. Without waiting for Nirvana to stabilize, it charged again.
Its massive tail swept fiercely, sending Nirvana flying once more. Then, with a twist, it lunged at Nirvana, its snake mouth gripping the Ao Clamp as its massive body coiled around.
Seeing this, Chu Chen couldn't help but frown. This Mud Swamp Python clearly intended to use Death Entanglement.
It's well known that when a python uses Death Entanglement, the power it unleashes is terrifying enough to crush the prey's internal organs and bones.
However, Chu Chen wasn't worried about Nirvana's safety, but rather, he was contemplating a way to break the predicament.
The swamp restricted the two Guardian Beasts too much, and even by using all the trump cards, they could barely protect themselves.
What Chu Chen desired wasn't mere survival, but to kill all these Mud Swamp Pythons.
After pondering briefly, Chu Chen did have an idea.
Nirvana is reptilian and insect-like, not limited to ground movement. Its insect legs are covered with many sharp barbs that enable it to climb on walls, and the sewer is essentially a gigantic pipeline, allowing it to fight while clinging to it.
However, Nirvana was currently entwined by the Mud Swamp Python and unable to move, but once it used Limb Regeneration again, it could break free.
Under the current circumstances, there is no need to worry about Nirvana.
As for Lei Yao's situation, it's relatively tricky. This so-called swamp is essentially a mixture of water and mud; once the water evaporates, only the mud remains.
Contained within thunder is extremely high heat, so as long as Lei Yao gathers sufficient thunder elements, it can evaporate the water in the swamp, albeit at a significant Star Power cost.
If there was a fire-element Guardian Beast, this problem could be perfectly resolved.
Thinking of this, Chu Chen quickly asked, "Who among you has contracted a fire-element Guardian Beast?"
"I contracted a Burning Flame Fox," Cold Face said hastily.
"What realm?"
"I contracted it not long ago, and it's currently at the fifth rank Servant Level."
Chu Chen frowned, "Barely usable. Summon it first."
Hearing this, Cold Face didn't hesitate and quickly summoned the Burning Flame Fox.
The Burning Flame Fox's quality was Outstanding Level Middle Grade and was currently in its Juvenile Stage, with a shoulder height of less than half a meter and a body length of only a meter, with flame-red fur.
The little one, just summoned, seemed a bit shy. It observed the crowd cautiously, sticking close to Cold Face, resembling a spoiled kitten.
Chu Chen pointed to the swamp and said sternly, "Let it unleash fire skills into the swamp."
Momentarily surprised, Cold Face didn't understand why Chu Chen wanted to do this but didn't object because she trusted Chu Chen greatly.
The Burning Flame Fox emitted a low roar, and the surrounding fire elements swiftly gathered towards it. A basketball-sized fireball appeared in front of it.
The fireball emitted an extremely high temperature, even causing the surrounding air to distort.
The Burning Flame Fox directed the fireball straight into the swamp.
With a "boom," the fireball exploded, and the scorching heat raged within the swamp.
A "sizzle" erupted in the swamp, followed by the rising of a large amount of steam.
The area hit by the fireball cracked open instantly.
Cold Face finally showed a realization upon seeing this.
However, the Burning Flame Fox was too weak, and the fireball only evaporated a two-meter diameter circular area.
Its effect could barely be described as satisfactory.
