“Hurry, over here, ” Chu Yanyan led the way, quickly following her Windbell Dragon.
Everyone hastened to keep up. Zhu Minglang used his spiritual power to sense that demon qi lingered nearby, and he quickly caught up with the somewhat overeager Chu Yanyan, pulling her behind him and said, “Be careful, they could be hiding in the bushes.”
Chu Yanyan glanced around and realized that the nearby underbrush was indeed dense and the trees were low- if something were hiding there to ambush her, it could sever her throat in an instant!
She moved back a little, whispered a thank you, and then stood among the others.
With spiritual power focused in his eyes, Zhu Minglang scanned the surrounding shrubbery and discovered that the demon qi here hadn't dissipated for quite some time, indicating that the Human-faced Rats must have lingered here for a while.
“It's Human-faced Rats, but they're dead!” At this moment, Jin Minjun's voice came from ahead.
Everyone immediately followed him, and before Zhu Minglang could even stop them, they had already passed through the dense undergrowth in front.
“Something's off, the demon qi here… it's not dissipating… They're right here!” Zhu Minglang instantly realized this.
Stretching out his palm, Zhu Minglang immediately gathered spiritual power in the center of his hand, and black patterns swiftly emerged, forming a large black gate leading to the Spirit Realm.
“Hiss!!!!”
A low growl rose from a dark thicket less than five meters away, and a vicious, pointed-faced creature sprang out, followed by its grey-red filthy fur. The creature, the size of a grown dog, was many times faster, and its sharp, elongated claws resembled short daggers!
“Crafty beast,” Zhu Minglang scoffed coldly.
Summoning the Dark Cang Violent Dragon at this point wouldn't be an issue, but Zhu Minglang's own throat could also be bitten through.
Zhu Minglang intended to dodge sideways, to put some distance between himself and the Human-faced Rat before summoning the Dark Cang Violent Dragon, when the Divine Green Holy Dragon, which had been beside Zhu Minglang, let out an angry cry.
“Hiii!!!
Thorns burst forth at his feet, erupting in explosive growth, and those initially less than an inch tall instantly transformed into vine tips, viciously piercing through the body of the Human-faced Rat as it got within a meter of Zhu Minglang!!
From bottom to top, the thorns turned into a spiky lotus, skewering the Human-faced Rat mid-air, piercing through various parts of its body…
Blood spilled from the creature's vicious pointed face, and its long claws flailed in vain, just shy of reaching Zhu Minglang. The Human-faced Rat could never have expected the deadly threat hiding within the thorns below!
Zhu Minglang pulled back his step, looking surprisingly at the Divine Green Holy Dragon flying around him.
How could it feel like its green forest magic was much stronger than Nan Ye's Green Giant Dragon!!
“Hiss hiss hiss!!!!!”
Suddenly, a chorus of growls erupted from the denser trees ahead, and without time to think further, Zhu Minglang, with Little Qingzhuo beside him, ran toward their direction!
No one had time to summon their Dragon Beasts, and these Human-faced Rats were also lurking in such dense thickets, making it very difficult to detect their presence even as one walked past them!
Just now, Zhu Minglang had nearly been taken by surprise by such a cunning creature! !
Dragon Shepherds in the wild must not be careless under any circumstances; after all, they themselves are very vulnerable, potentially meeting their end before they can summon their Dragon Beasts!
But if they start by keeping a strong dragon at their side, the formidable presence of the dragon might scare away the very prey they are hunting…
Moreover, sometimes little demons are even more troublesome than great demon lords!
“Hei Ya!”
Zhu Minglang, while running forward, summoned the Black Azure Violent Dragon.
There were too many obstacles ahead, as well as numerous vines and thorns; Zhu Minglang could no longer see where his teammates had run off to.
The Black Azure Violent Dragon burst out from the Spirit Realm, finding itself in the midst of dense foliage. The towering, mighty creature could only catch glimpses of grey-red figures scurrying through the gaps in the brush, unable to get a clear view of what they were.
“Yiyiyiyi-
Little Qingzhuo flew ahead of Zhu Minglang, and where it passed, the shrubs and vines parted to either side like well-trained ceremonial guards, allowing Zhu Minglang to finally spot Chu Yanyan. She was being followed by two Human -faced Rats!
The Windbell Dragon stirred up a whirlwind, but it was impeded by the trees, significantly reducing the force of the wind vortex. It could only make the Human-faced Rats float briefly in the air. Chu Yanyan hadn't expected to fall into a trap set by Human-faced Rats; her face turned pale, uncertain of where to take cover.
“Roar!!!”
The Black Azure Violent Dragon's chest swelled, and it suddenly roared in the direction of Chu Yanyan.
The vegetation shattered, and the ground split open. The two Human-faced Rats attempting a sneak attack from behind had no time to react before they were torn to pieces, blood and gore flying everywhere!
Chu Yanyan turned around, her face drained of color from fright; she hadn't realized there were two of them behind her.
“Come to me,” Zhu Minglang ran towards Chu Yanyan, and she hurriedly dashed towards him as well.
“Yiyiyiyi-
The Divine Green Holy Dragon let out a series of cries, its vertical pupils flashing an unpredictable glow. Suddenly, colossal vine hands emerged within the chaotic thicket, sweeping fiercely through the underbrush like green -brown pythons!
“Squeak squeak squeak!!
Shrieks echoed as several Human-faced Rats, converging from another direction, were smacked away by the vine hands, hitting the tree trunks hard enough to break their bones!
“Well done,” Zhu Minglang praised.
“Junior Zhu, they've fallen through the ground, ahead is a chasm covered by vines and ferns!” Chu Yanyan said in a hurry.
No sooner had she spoken than a loud noise came from behind.
Zhu Minglang turned and saw the massive Black Azure Violent Dragon as if it had stepped into a trap, its body plunging down. It tried to grab onto nearby vines and branches, but these were unable to sustain its weight.
“The area is full of chasms; we cannot summon large dragons!” Zhu Minglang's expression changed.
Considering that Bai Qi's magic was areof-effect and could accidentally harm others in a place where visibility was obscured, Zhu Minglang had chosen to first summon the overpowering Black Azure Violent Dragon for close quarters suppression. He hadn't expected that this thicket was not as simple as it appeared and that many places underfoot were hollowed out!!
It seemed that Jin Minjun and other older and younger female students had suddenly disappeared because they fell down while summoning their Dragon Beasts. Hopefully, it wasn't very deep, or else it would be dangerous!
“Hei Ya, are you alright?” Zhu Minglang shouted down into the large hole where Hei Ya had fallen.
“Oh oh- From below came Hei Ya's response. It must have been fine with its thick skin and strong bones, though climbing back up might prove difficult with the surrounding vines unable to support it.
“Go find the others and protect them; I'll have Bai Qi take care of the Human-faced Rats up here!” Zhu Minglang shouted to Hei Ya.
“Oh oh!” The Black Azure Violent Dragon was not afraid of these little demon rats, but the environment around it was too hostile, with random charging potentially leading it to be tied up by ancient vines and branches into a black rice dumpling.
It dared to crush rocks; however, the entangling thorny vines were genuinely vexing because of their flexible strength!
