Chapter 1585: Oppressive Aura of the Poison Chiefs

Oppressive Aura of the Poison Chiefs

"This..."

"Two more came?!!"

Wu Tongyuan and the other two, who originally thought they were going to escape a calamity, were directly dumbfounded when they saw the two Eighth-Tier Poison Chiefs descend from the sky... The auras of these two Eighth-Tiers were far stronger than the willow tree in front of them. Either one was estimated to be an existence capable of pinching them to death within five seconds.

Despair emerged on Wu Tongyuan and Qi Muyun's faces, but Wen Ruoshui's eyes visibly lit up...

Wen Ruoshui knew very well that in the last restart, these two Eighth-Tier Calamities did not appear. In other words, this was most likely a backup plan left by Chen Ling!

In fact, just as Wen Ruoshui expected, as that Bone-Stripping Knife buzzed again, the toad and gecko hesitated briefly before charging straight at the massive willow tree Calamity!

That willow tree Calamity from the Bitter Flesh Forest simply didn't expect to encounter two Poison Chiefs of the Ghost Mockery Abyss in one breath here. After feeling the fatal and sharp Aura on their bodies, it panicked directly. The dancing willow branches quickly withdrew into the trunk, and its entire body seemed as if it wanted to shrink directly into the ground, already terrified to the extreme.

But that toad didn't seem to intend on letting it go. Its long black tongue slashed across the sky like lightning, directly wrapping around half of the trunk that was about to burrow into the ground, and then its legs kicked forcefully!

The earth beneath the feet of Wu Tongyuan's trio directly exploded. The tree roots underground within a radius of several kilometers were directly uprooted. The intricate tree roots twisted violently one by one like living creatures, and that trunk that had already burrowed halfway underground even let out a heart-wrenching mournful cry like a human.

As the willow tree was forcefully pulled out of the earth, amidst the splattering mud, another massive dark shadow had already attached itself to the surface of the willow tree...

No one could clearly see how that perpetually motionless gecko had appeared on the tree trunk as if teleporting. Wu Tongyuan and the other two could only see that following the ghostly appearance of that dark shadow, the originally living-creature-like trunk suddenly began rapidly turning into stone, as if some kind of toxin was injected directly into the willow tree's body through the gecko's skin and palms.

The wildly dancing willow branches gradually stiffened, and the pupils on the tree trunk were covered by a limestone-like luster... The gecko just lay quietly on it like this, its gaze dull, as if it had casually climbed a wall, but the willow tree's struggles grew increasingly violent.

Seemingly sensing the invasion of the toxin, the willow tree unexpectedly split itself forcibly from the center, abandoning half of its torso and directly "feeding" it to the gecko. The other half of the broken branches and ruined willows fell heavily to the ground, desperately continuing to burrow underground...

Swish——

A giant black tongue wrapped around its severed limbs. Immediately after, a tremendous force directly dragged it flying across hundreds of meters!

The toad fiercely opened its mouth. The size of the mouth had already broken through the physical rules' limit, directly turning into a pitch-black, bizarre abyss in the void. And as the tongue dragged the hissing willow tree severed limbs into the abyss, it unhurriedly closed its mouth...

And then let out a burp.

The terrifying willow tree, which seemed invincible in the eyes of Wu Tongyuan's trio, was wantonly kneaded like a baby chick in front of the toad and the gecko. Half was turned into stone, and half was swallowed into the belly... The entire process combined took less than two minutes.

"Are the creatures in this Gray World... all this terrifying?" Wu Tongyuan was already scared silly.

"No wonder Director Chen said that humans in the future would have a rather hard time..." Qi Muyun smiled bitterly. "Let alone after civilization regresses and world wars happen, even before that, during the peak of our hot weapons era, we might not necessarily be able to deal with these monsters."

"They're looking over!!"

After torturing and killing the Eighth-Tier general of the Bitter Flesh Forest, two pairs of extremely oppressive gazes slowly fell on the three humans before them...

The three of them instantly tensed up all over, and the shadow of a life-and-death crisis climbed into their hearts!

"It..."

"Is it treating us as food too?"

Wu Tongyuan swallowed his saliva. He could clearly see that the toad's eyes were quietly staring at them, and the curiosity and passion within them even far exceeded the willow tree just now... Its chin bulged, and he didn't know if it was his illusion, but it seemed like a few strands of crystalline mucus slid down from the corners of its mouth.

As for the gecko on the side, it was blankly lying on the ground, not even looking at them.

Just as the toad's gaze grew increasingly passionate, the Bone-Stripping Knife spun back to the front of the three people. As the blade buzzed, a trace of doubt emerged in the toad's eyes again...

Just as the hearts of Wu Tongyuan's trio leaped to their throats,

A figure in red lightly stepped onto the earth.

Buzz——!!

A World-Ending Aura instantly surged wildly.

In an instant, both the toad and the gecko trembled violently. Like mice seeing a cat, without even needing to turn their heads to look, they immediately prostrated themselves on the ground in fear, as if this had already become an instinct carved into their bones.

The two Great Calamities that were imposing just a moment ago suddenly prostrated humbly, leaving Wu Tongyuan's trio somewhat confused...

But when they turned their heads to look, they saw a figure in a Theatrical Robe carrying the unconscious Ji Xuan on his back, slowly walking over from between the two Great Poison Chiefs.

"Director... Director Chen?"

At this moment, the three of them were completely dumbfounded.

The terrifying willow tree easily instantly killed them and those ordinary Calamities, and the two Poisonous Insects easily instantly killed the willow tree. Now that Chen Ling was here, the two Poisonous Insects were directly scared into prostrating and kowtowing... It went without saying who exactly was at the top of the food chain.

But Wu Tongyuan and the others couldn't understand how Chen Ling, a human, could make these monsters capable of easily subverting a city or even a country so terrified?

Chen Ling lightly raised his hand, and that Bone-Stripping Knife with centipede legs automatically flew back into his palm.

His gaze swept over the Eighth-Tier Poison Chiefs on both sides, his expression somewhat strange.

When Chen Ling realized that no matter which side he saved first, the other side would fall into danger, he had already thought of bringing out some reinforcements from the Ghost Mockery Abyss.

But the problem was, Chen Ling of this era had not seen the Poison Chiefs of the Ghost Mockery Abyss, so naturally, he couldn't unleash a Thought Storm. Therefore, the only one who could contact the Ghost Mockery Abyss Calamities was the previous Centipede Poison Chief inside his Bone-Stripping Knife.

Chen Ling had communicated with this Poison Chief. At this current point in time, it itself was one of the Poison Chiefs of the Ghost Mockery Abyss... That is to say, as long as it proactively released a message for help, as long as there were Ghost Mockery Abyss Calamities passing by nearby, it could attract reinforcements.

But this action carried risks.

After all, in this world, there was also an "it" in its prime.

Once this Aura was discovered by the Centipede Poison Chief of this world, and it then saw a Bone-Stripping Knife made from its own soul inexplicably appear, it would probably be directly dumbfounded, and then detain it for careful study...

Maybe, it would even alert the one currently in the Ghost Mockery Abyss... the Calamity King in its prime.
