Chapter 149: The Human Race's Master Manipulator
Pleasant!
Wang Wu did not attempt to continue breaking through the Fire Spirit Root but quietly stayed amidst the flames and ashes.
The external Red Flame Spiritual Qi once again dispersed, leaving the flames and ashes here resembling ordinary Mortal Fire, yet such burning couldn't harm him anymore.
At this time, Wang Wu's Level 16 Passive Concealment was already activated, perfectly blending with the flames. He needed to watch the changes quietly.
This earth fissure could no longer be closed. Tens of nearby big trees had already been corroded and rotted, then swiftly cut down and burned by the Demon Soldiers to prevent it from spreading.
Outside the fissure, more than five hundred Demon Soldiers were on high alert under the leadership of a Great Demon.
Wouldn't it be like making himself a target if Wang Wu dared to jump out at this moment?
If not a target, he would definitely be asked to be the vanguard.
He wouldn't do such a foolish thing.
As time passed, a rumbling sound suddenly came from below the earth fissure, causing the entire ground to shake. Wang Wu, hidden in the ashes, fell due to the tremor but managed to catch the edge.
Almost simultaneously, a chariot resembling a Poisonous Dragon burst out from the earth fissure. However, this so-called chariot was not like the concept from Earth's homeland but really like a gigantic Poisonous Dragon. It was covered with spikes, at least a thousand meters long, with thirty-six massive claws and ground-piercing devices at the tips.
Wang Wu, caught at the edge, was scratched by the spikes of this Poison Dragon War Chariot, forcing him to activate Copper Head Iron Bone.
This alone dealt him over a thousand points of damage.
However, the Demon Race around the earth fissure was not to be underestimated. Suddenly, various Secret Techniques were flying around, especially dominated by Ice Spiritual Qi.
Almost in a split second, the previously arrogant Poison Dragon War Chariot was turned into a massive ice pop, over five hundred meters high, before it could even land. Quite amusing!
Immediately after, a "moo" sound was heard, and at least twenty Big Black Bulls suddenly emanated a terrifying blood glow, their bodies instantly expanding five to six times, transforming into giant Cow Demons. They shot out with leaps and bounds in a queued, catapult-like manner—fast and steady. In less than three seconds, they launched over twenty times, crashing into the frozen Poison Dragon War Chariot more than twenty times.
Even with the tough form of the Poison Dragon War Chariot, it was still directly smashed into two parts, one falling down and the other crashing to the ground!
"Die, monster!"
The next moment, a burst of sword lights shot out from the upper half of this Poison Dragon War Chariot. The five Big Black Bulls didn't even have time to retreat or defend and were shredded into pieces, scattering blood everywhere—no, scattering beef everywhere.
Not only that, but the part of the chariot fallen on the ground suddenly spewed blistering flames, quickly melting the ice, then it resumed high-speed operation. One Poisonous Dragon sweep turned dozens of Demon Soldiers into matchstick-like strips. Those spikes were overly sharp.
At the same time, small windows suddenly opened on the chariot, from which Spirit Light Crossbowmen began madly firing outward!
In an instant, the four to five hundred Demon Soldiers outside were constrained everywhere, unable to fight back effectively.
"Courting death!"
A sudden loud roar was heard; it was the Great Demon revealing its true form, which turned out to be a golden mantis comparable to a semi-trailer truck. However, it was no longer in a conventional mantis shape, wielding ten long knives, ten long spears, and ten large shields.
Only to see it leap into the air, visible one moment, vanished the next, leaving only a shadow in its place.
Following that, sounds of clashing metal, "ding ding dang dang," filled the air, like a hundred pianos passionately resonating, mysterious and magnificent.
It took merely three seconds.
When the golden mantis returned to its original position, the Poison Dragon War Chariot was instantly disassembled, completely disintegrated into numerous pieces of fragmented Profound Iron.
And the hundreds of Human Race Cultivators, Warriors, and Spirit Light Crossbowmen inside the Poison Dragon War Chariot were all dumbfounded, staring blankly; and then, with disbelieving eyes, clatter after clatter, various parts fell to the ground.
All were dismembered.
Goodness!
A Fourth-Grade Great Demon, so terrifying?
This is the North Mountain King, isn't it?
Wang Wu hiding in the fissure, didn't even dare to breathe.
However, after showing that miraculous strike, the North Mountain King seemed to have paid a heavy price, appearing very weak and unable to move, immediately surrounded by its trusted followers, carefully guarding it.
Almost simultaneously, a shadow flashed in Wang Wu's mind, sensing something was amiss.
Yet before he could react, not far from him, a patch of dirt silently collapsed, revealing a large hole with a man shrouded in an earthen yellow glow inside, holding an unfamiliar Spirit Light Crossbow, with an exceptionally large crossbow arrow wrapped in Spiritual Light, just three meters long.
"Whoosh!" he fired!
The man pulled the trigger, and at the moment the crossbow arrow shot out, he withdrew the Spirit Light Crossbow as large as a car, seemingly into his Storage Belt.
Immediately afterward, without looking at the result, he took out a peculiar Talisman, slapped it on his body, and utilized Earth Escape.
Too quick and practiced!
It was only then Wang Wu heard the roar of demons above him, along with the desperate and angry cry of the North Mountain King.
"It's the scum of Ten Thousand Poison Sect! This is poisonous, quickly take me to General Xuelang…"
It was clear that it was very scared; the arrow's power was immense but not enough to claim its life—a Fourth-Grade Great Demon after all—but if unaddressed, it would likely be poisoned to death, or at least severely poisoned.
In that instant, numerous vines suddenly grew from the North Mountain King. Goodness, it was a Companion Demon Vine too.
There was no doubt that this Companion Demon Vine couldn't hold on any longer.
It withered in less than three seconds,
while the North Mountain King began to fester all over, with its loyal demon soldiers who dared to support it having already turned into a pool of thick fluid.
The other demon soldiers could only desperately use Ice Spiritual Qi to temporarily control it, but even the ice formed from Ice Spiritual Qi turned into black toxic gas in an instant.
"Retreat, retreat quickly, this is Five Poison Spiritual Qi!"
In a chaotic frenzy, if there were a second Poison Dragon War Chariot, it might have annihilated them all.
Wang Wu watched silently from the fissure, utterly shocked, sweating profusely!
What does it mean to view the sky from the bottom of a well?
That's exactly his situation now, he always thought that Demon King Level Poison was already the most formidable.
But he never expected that the Human Race would have a Ten Thousand Poison Sect, and people who could cultivate poison into Spiritual Qi.
This nature is completely different, isn't it?
It's like comparing natural toxins from Earth to industrially synthesized toxins.
The latter is clearly more complex, more poisonous, and more uncontrollable.
As a Fourth-Grade Great Demon, the North Mountain King surely wasn't weak in cultivation, and its various negative resistances couldn't be worse than Wang Wu's, but now it was visibly festering all over.
It tried to discard and cut off various segments and components as much as possible, struggling to crawl out of the initial poisonous zone, yet soon its body dissolved and festered again, shedding a large layer.
In the blink of an eye, the North Mountain King, originally about the size of a large half-gua, forcibly shrank to a tenth of its size.
Yet it still hadn't died, still trying hard to crawl forward.
But no other demon soldiers could be seen around, either fleeing without a trace or poisoned and foaming at the mouth, collapsing to turn directly into poisonous water.
This Five Poison Spiritual Qi was too terrifying.
At this moment, Wang Wu hesitated, glanced at his own status, and again listened to the situation below the fissure, estimating that Five Poison Spiritual Qi was also fatal to the Human Race, so no human cultivators would rush out from there.
Thus, this is an opportunity.
Under the premise of being unable to escape this war, this is an opportunity.
At this moment, Wang Wu quickly jumped out, first collecting hundreds of fresh beef slices, opening his bloody mouth in a frenzied devour.
These were all contributed by the five Big Black Bulls earlier.
Old Niu, I'm sorry, I couldn't resist, because it's too delicious!
No doubt, these were Sixth-Grade Cow Demons, and with Wang Wu's frenzy, his satiety soared directly to 15000+, and his Spiritual Qi rocketed to 8000+.
Picked for free!
Truly delicious~
He added all 7500 points of Spiritual Qi to Basic Defense in one go, raising it from the original 65 points to 68 points, and with the boost from Grandpa Tree's seedling branches, temporarily to 69 points.
With the foundation laid and buffs maximized, Wang Wu gritted his teeth, jumped out of the earth fissure, bypassed the toxic fog area, and rushed directly toward the North Mountain King.
Indeed, this seemed to Wang Wu as the greatest opportunity.
He had some experience after all.
The North Mountain King had just disintegrated various body parts and discarded different components, effectively expelling most of the Five Poison Spiritual Qi from its body, combined with its subordinates' desperate rescue efforts using Ice Spiritual Qi to control the toxin, all helping to dilute it.
At this moment, it was just too weak and only needed someone to help it a little further.
Delivering it to General Xuelang, or Grandpa Tree's seedling branches, would save it.
But unfortunately, other demon soldiers were terrified out of their wits, not understanding these things?
Wang Wu was different.
Before rushing into the toxic fog, the Ice and Fire Dual Spirit Roots had already started operating steadily and smoothly.
Just like two motors.
See, this is the effect, precisely what Wang Wu intended by opening the third Red Flame Meridian earlier.
As Old Niu said before, Spirit Roots don't play a big role in battle until truly powerful.
Really not much.
Even combined, Wang Wu's Ice and Fire Spirit Root could only amount to 400 points of Ice Spiritual Qi + 400 points of Red Flame Spiritual Qi, and relying on this to fight, wouldn't it be unbelievable that even Old Niu could not be defeated?
However, the auxiliary function of the Ice and Fire Dual Spirit Roots was explosive.
Not to mention Wang Wu's formula for making secret roast chicken, or the Eighth-Grade Magical Artifact he refined with the Ice and Fire Dual Spirit Roots, it was at this moment, while he rushed into the terrifying, deadly poison fog, the smooth operation of these Ice and Fire Dual Spirit Roots could provide him with 2000 points of poison damage immunity!
Isn't that fragrant?
