Chapter 417 Where can it go?
This monster's aura was even stronger than that of a ghost formed from thousands of vengeful spirits.
Rather than a monster, it is more like a moving creature pieced together from rocks, silt, bones, limbs, rotting flesh, and vengeful spirits.
Similar to the mythical beast Heluo fish, it has a large head and multiple tentacles.
The Heluo fish has one head and ten bodies, with its body divided into ten segments.
This monster used bone whips as its hands, and had more than twice as many tentacles as the Heluo fish.
"boom!!!"
The monster used the ground as leverage to leap out of the mud.
Its body was several meters tall, and sticky mud flowed down it with a "drip drip" sound, with a foul stench wafting over.
At the same time, all the surrounding swamps boiled again, and more bone whips and rotting arms sprang out of the swamps, like venomous snakes poised to strike, standing tall beside the monster.
The sheer density of the scene sent chills down their spines, and the three of them instinctively took a half-step back.
The opponent had fully prepared for battle, their killing intent lingering in the air.
Is war the only option?
The three exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with unspoken understanding, deciding that it was best not to clash with these monsters for the time being.
Feng Yu suddenly turned around and shouted, "Run!"
"Bang bang bang-"
"boom--"
The moment the three were airborne, a barrage of bone whips, like spears, pierced the spot where they had just stood.
Dust and smoke immediately rose up.
"That was close." Feng Yu glanced back, not forgetting to add a disdainful remark: "Who wants to fight with you filthy, smelly creatures! Goodbye..."
Fei Feng, standing to the side: "..."
So?
She had just endured the unpleasant smell and fought for quite a while against the equally foul-smelling bone whip and bone dragon!
Doesn't anyone feel sorry for what she's been through?
Oh oh oh!
No more love.
In the end, she bore the brunt of it all.
Do not……
Fei Feng turned her head and looked at the tip of the whip behind Long Chuqing.
While running away, Long Chuqing didn't forget to use her spirit whip to take the little fox with her.
After all, we finally managed to rescue them, so we can't let them fall back into the monster's hands.
The little fox was dangling from Long Chuqing's whip, swaying back and forth.
Okay! There are people even worse off than her.
Seeing the little fox's miserable state, Fei Feng instantly felt relieved.
She sped up and flew in front of Feng Yu in a flash.
"Feng Yu, A Qing, you two hurry up..."
"Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump..."
The swamp monster dragged its heavy body in hot pursuit.
A foul stench wafted over on the strong wind.
"Hey~"
The three of them instantly transformed into three streaks of light and fled swiftly into the distance.
The monster's enormous size is both its advantage and its disadvantage.
Despite his strength and aura, he was unfortunately clumsy.
In the blink of an eye, Long Chuqing and the other two disappeared from its sight.
Even if it had many eyes, it couldn't catch a glimpse of them now.
"Hoohoho!"
The swamp monster raged helplessly behind them.
After getting away from the dead forest, the three escaped to a relatively safe place.
"Phew~" Feng Yu breathed a sigh of relief and glanced back: "Finally, we've shaken off that monster. It shouldn't be chasing us anymore, right?"
“If I’m not mistaken, the monster’s body probably needs to be kept constantly wet, so it can’t stay out of the mud for long,” Long Chuqing said slowly. “We’ve already flown quite a distance, so it shouldn’t be chasing us anymore.”
Fei Feng agreed: "That makes sense, but it must have been tough on it, dragging such a heavy body and still chasing us for such a long distance."
Even though it couldn't catch a glimpse of the three, the monster still chased them for five miles until it could no longer track their presence before stopping.
"It seems that its shortcomings are quite obvious!" Feng Yu analyzed to himself: "Is it because after leaving the mud pit, the mud on its body will dry and crack over time, thus restricting its movement and causing its limbs to lack flexibility?"
“Yes.” Long Chuqing smiled slightly, then put the little fox on the spirit whip down.
As she flew at breakneck speed, the wind blew away a lot of the dirt off the little fox.
"Huh?" Long Chuqing asked, puzzled. "Something seems off about it. These injuries shouldn't be life-threatening, so why does it seem even more listless than before?"
The little fox closed its eyes and sighed inwardly, thinking: Was its journey easy? It was tied to the end of the whip and dragged along like a kite.
Its already weak body was further ravaged by the bumpy ride. It was not only shaken from side to side, but also whipped in the face by strong winds. At this moment, it was dizzy and on the verge of vomiting.
Feng Yu noticed something amiss: "She must have been dizzy from the journey. It's alright, she'll be fine after a rest."
"Haha... I see!"
Long Chuqing gave an awkward smile, somewhat apologetic, but not much.
It was covered in mud and was so dirty and smelly that it was impossible to carry it. The situation was urgent, so we had no choice but to resort to this method.
"It's just dizziness, nothing serious. At least I'm alive," Long Chuqing said, trying to make amends.
The little fox lifted its eyelids slightly and nodded its head gently.
In a critical situation, a rescued creature unable to take care of itself has no right to worry about whether it was comfortable during the rescue.
They didn't choose to abandon it; instead, they took it with them as they fled, which was an immense act of kindness.
Long Chuqing squatted down and used a cleaning spell on the little fox several times to remove the mud and odor from its body.
The little fox was originally a red fox. After washing away the mud, it revealed a fluffy, fiery red coat of fur, but it was still rather thin, probably due to malnutrition.
Feifeng treated its wounds and fed it healing pills.
"Alright, your injuries are healed."
"Thank you, thank you so much for saving my life, my three benefactors."
The little fox prostrated itself on the ground, repeatedly bowing its head in gratitude.
Fei Feng waved her hand, stood up and said, "It was nothing, no need to thank me, please get up!"
Long Chuqing looked at the little fox and said calmly, "This place is dangerous and you shouldn't stay any longer. Now that you're safe, you can leave on your own. Be careful and don't get caught by other spirits."
After saying that, she didn't look at the little fox again and turned to leave with Fei Feng and Feng Yu.
The little fox looked around and a sudden, inexplicable panic welled up inside it.
leave?
Where can it go?
Although it managed to escape from the swamp, it is still very weak and can't even defeat the lowest-ranking monster. So where can it go?
It stared blankly at the receding figures of Long Chuqing and the other two.
They rescued it and treated its wounds, but did not ask it to repay their kindness.
Driven by its survival instinct, it took a step and followed quietly.
It dared not get too close, for fear of provoking its benefactor's annoyance and driving him away.
He followed at a distance, making sure the three figures remained within his sight.
