Chapter 594 - Vulnerable

Chapter 594: Vulnerable

As the mystic water engulfed the man-eating lizards, the lizards struggled but to no avail. The chaos snakes hid within the mystic water and suddenly attacked one of the lizards at its nape. Lu Shu clearly felt the snakes channel a dark energy into the lizard. The lizard stopped moving. The rate at which the mystic water got rid of the lizard grew faster.

In a mere ten seconds, the man-eating lizard was completely gone.

There were still some strange things underground. Lu Shu continued walking. The snakes were very excited and did not want to return to the Seal of Lands. Now, there was a massive volume of mystic water. Lu Shu did not know how much mystic water was added after the lizard was absorbed. He had to encounter more of such lizards before he could be sure…

Since the chaos snakes were unwilling to return to the Seal of Lands, Lu Shu did not force them to do so. He called for the mystic water to sweep along the path in front of him. His water-type abilities allowed him to sense the changes in his surroundings.

Lu Shu continued walking forward. The snakes guided him along the most accurate path.

Ten minutes later, Lu Shu suddenly felt the ground vibrating. It was as if there was a powerful army charging towards him!

Lu Shu calmed down. He had thought that there were only a hundred lizards left, but it seemed like he had underestimated their numbers. Who in the world would rear so many man-eating lizards? What was their aim?

If these man-eating lizards charged towards the closest city from here, the city might be wiped out before Chen Baili and Nie Ting could arrive.

These lizards were not only fast. They had high stamina as well. It would be easy for them to wreak havoc in a defenseless city.

Lu Shu spread the mystic water in all directions within the cavern. He stood at at intersection, suspended within the mystic water as he waited.

The man-eating lizards suddenly appeared in the passageways around Lu Shu. They glared menacingly at the black liquid. Lu Shu stayed within the mystic water, refusing to budge. He estimated that he had been surrounded by at least a hundred man-eating lizards.

But the lizards did not rush to attack him. It was as if they were observing the situation.

These man-eating lizards were not intelligent. Lu Shu did not believe that these lizards were not being controlled by someone. There was a possibility that when the first lizard was engulfed by the mystic water, this information had been relayed by various channels to the controller. Hence, they could accurately determine Lu Shu’s position. They even knew the magical properties of the mystic water.

At the very next moment, dozens of man-eating lizards charged towards Lu Shu, as if they were not afraid of the mystic water. They head-butted the mystic water, seemingly using their strength in numbers to dilute the potential damage.

There was certainly a massive volume of mystic water. Lu Shu also certainly used it to carry out group attacks. But when there were too many enemies, he could not do much. It was like a group attack skill that could hit ten enemies at the same time. But he had a hundred enemies now. Everything was relative.

But as dozens of lizards attacked at the same time, it seemed Lu Shu had underestimated the mystic water!

Lu Shu controlled the mystic water and drew the lizards in. Suddenly, the chaos snakes rushed forth like swords and swiftly cruised between the lizards.

The chaos snakes met no resistance as they made their way in between the lizards. They were as fast as shooting stars, leaving no trace behind.

The chaos snakes bit the lizards and channeled a dark energy into the lizards. The lizards’ bodies started to erode and their bodily functions shut down. Lu Shu stood within the mystic water without moving. The chaos snakes had settled this wave of attacks.

Lu Shu stood within the mystic water, coldly sensing the changes in his surroundings. He wanted to sense for waves of energy and find the mastermind behind these man-eating lizards.

It seemed like the mastermind had used the dozens of lizards to estimate the maximum strength that the mystic water possessed. Hundreds of man-eating lizards suddenly charged towards the mystic water at the same time.

Even then Lu Shu did not move. He wanted to give the mastermind the impression that he could only be protected. The mystic water suddenly rushed towards a passageway. It enveloped the man-eating lizards in this passageway out of its own initiative.

The space underground was very big, but no matter how big it was, there had to be a limit to its size. When Lu Shu stood in a passageway instead of a fork, he had to deal with fewer man-eating lizards at the same time.

In this kind of place, Lu Shu’s mobility was much higher than anyone had expected! Furthermore, after engulfing dozens of man-eating lizards, Lu Shu had sensed how much mystic water each lizard contributed. This was the perfect weapon!

The mystic water spread throughout the cavern. Even the uneven stone walls were gradually smoothed out by the mystic water.

Under normal circumstances, stones in a river would only become smooth after several thousand years or even longer. But the mystic water was so corrosive that the rocks turned smooth in a matter of minutes.

As the man-eating lizards died, the volume of the mystic water continued increasing. It was somewhat taxing for Lu Shu to face a hundred man-eating lizards all at once, but he had decided that he would not hold back. Even Corpsedog and Concealed Arrow flew forth to attack the lizards.

The two flying swords rotating through the air were like a mincing machine. One would need multiple aurablades to pierce through the tough skin of the lizards, but the Corpsedog and Concealed Arrow were different!

The sword spirit jumped forth from the Corpsedog and slapped a lizard.

Suddenly, the cavern above Lu Shu collapsed and a lizard rushed towards Lu Shu. It seemed much stronger than the rest of the man-eating lizards. It seemed as if the mastermind wanted to use this lizard to kill Lu Shu, while he did not have the protection of Corpsedog and Concealed Arrow!

That man-eating lizard was a Class B beginner!

Lu Shu was very calm. He coldly look up and saw the lizard charging towards the mystic water. Lu Shu had sensed that the mastermind was around, but he did not react and acted as if he did not sense anything. He had been waiting all this time!

In a flash, Lu Shu made his move. His agility was off the charts!

The moment the man-eating lizard broke through the stone wall, Lu Shu rushed forth and slashed the lizard. The Cheng Ying sword had been in his hands all along!

A small figure suddenly jumped out of the Corpsedog. It slapped the man-eating lizard in front of Lu Shu. It was as if the lizard was not expecting this attack. The lizard staggered from the force of the slap!

“From Fallen Lizard’s distress, +1 +1 +1…”

This sword spirit was small, but its strength was that of a peak Class C! Lu Shu had thought about how great it would be if the sword spirit’s attack was not limited to just a slap…

The Cheng Ying sword in Lu Shu’s hands landed on the lizard’s head while it was vulnerable. Lu Shu had practiced this move many times. If this did not kill the lizard in one go, his effort would all go to waste.

The fallen lizard’s head was sliced in half! It was like an ice cube after it had come into contact with a hot knife!

Nie Ting told Lu Shu that he required patience while refining the sword. But he had never said that the Cheng Ying sword was one of the sharpest mythical objects he had seen.

It was both sharp and transparent. Lu Shu was further strengthened with the Cheng Ying sword!
