Chapter 261: The Pursuit of the E-Duo-Ba Demon Tree

~8 min read 1,477 words

While Zhu Zhiquan and Chen Ligang were chasing the Blood-Chain Flower Emperor, Zhao Yuxin, Huang Jing, and Li Yue came together to the Blood-Chain Flower Emperor's nest to dismantle the monster corpses.

To their surprise, not only were there a large number of monster corpses here, but there were also a Purple Material Box and walls full of vines and flowers.

Name: Pregnant Basket Flower Vine

Quality: Blue

Introduction: A type of flower specifically cultivated for urban flower demons; it becomes an urban flower demon once it matures. The Blood-Chain Flower Emperor can inject Magic Power or feed them to accelerate their growth.

{Note: Please do not bring this flower home, because urban flower demons only obey the Empress's imperial decree. }

The three of them first took down the Purple Material Box, and then Zhao Yuxin suggested, "If possible, let's just keep the contents of this Material Box for ourselves."

Li Yue immediately waved her hands, pretending to be sanctimonious as she said, "This... isn't very good, is it? After all, the others trust us so much; it wouldn't be right to just hoard it all for ourselves."

Huang Jing patted her on the butt, "Stop acting. There's no one else here; it's much simpler to just open it!"

Zhao Yuxin and Li Yue both felt this made sense after hearing it and were just about to open the Material Box when Zhao Yuxin heard an explosion in the distance and instinctively turned around.

Seeing Zhao Yuxin suddenly turn around, Huang Jing and Li Yue immediately drew their blades to stand guard.

The three of them stood in a stalemate for a few seconds, and then Zhao Yuxin said to the two of them, "It's fine, you two go ahead and open the Material Box; Ajiu said he lost track of it again, so I'm going to help." Having said that, she stepped on her Five-Star Sword and flew toward the direction the explosion came from.

Li Yue and Huang Jing exchanged a glance, then tossed the Purple Material Box aside and followed behind Zhao Yuxin, stepping on their Five-Star Swords.

Zhao Yuxin turned her head and asked, "You two go open the box, why are you following me?"

Huang Jing covered her mouth and laughed, retorting, "Hey~ Sister Zhao, you don't really think you're hiding it well, do you?"

Zhao Yuxin tilted her head, looking confused, and Li Yue chimed in, "Looking at how anxious you were to split the loot, there's no way your man could have lost track of it for that long."

Seeing that her intentions had been exposed, Zhao Yuxin could only silently keep their words in her heart and accelerated as she sped toward the source of the explosion.

On the other side, Zhu Zhiquan and Chen Ligang joined forces to attack the E-Duo-Ba Demon Tree, but they were unable to cause any substantial damage, failing to even break through the outer bark.

Conversely, the E-Duo-Ba Demon Tree could topple a building with a casual strike; one could imagine that if one were accidentally grazed by it, the result would be nothing left but bones.

After dodging a strike, Chen Ligang said, "Damn it, that old fox is truly excessive. Isn't it just wanting a head from her? Is it necessary to provoke a monster like this for us?"

Hearing Chen Ligang's words, Zhu Zhiquan looked at him in shock, wondering if he had misheard. Listen to whether what he said was human language; could it be that someone wouldn't die after being decapitated?

After Chen Ligang finished complaining, he immediately suggested, "Brother, let's retreat! Our attacks aren't enough to break through its defense."

Zhu Zhiquan nodded in response and immediately fled in the direction they had come from. Chen Ligang followed closely behind, spitting a mouthful of yellow phlegm at the E-Duo-Ba Demon Tree behind them.

The phlegm ignored distance and landed on the E-Duo-Ba Demon Tree's eye, causing it to wince in pain. It then let out a roar and charged toward these two tiny humans.

Its roar awakened some of the Blood-Grievance Mushroom Demons on the ground, though this posed no threat to the E-Duo-Ba Demon Tree, which could crush a whole patch with a single step.

Thump, thump, thump~

Every step the E-Duo-Ba Demon Tree took caused a small earthquake, and while running, it continuously used various skills to attack the two fleeing people.

A large number of high-rise ruins were destroyed by the E-Duo-Ba Demon Tree's running and attacks, even with the flight capability of the Five-Star Sword.

While fleeing for their lives, the two noticed the figures of two people in the distance. Looking closely, they saw it was Zhao Yuxin and Li Yue, which made Zhu Zhiquan shout, "Azhao, run!"

But Zhao Yuxin and Li Yue continued to fly toward them, and Zhu Zhiquan was also very troubled, unable to understand why these two were still flying over.

Swish, swish, swish~

The E-Duo-Ba Demon Tree behind them fired a large number of leaves, and Zhu Zhiquan and Chen Ligang could only try their best to dodge; the sharp blades of the leaves carried wind as they grazed their skin or pierced into their bodies.

"Ajiu, jump on." Zhao Yuxin controlled the Five-Star Sword and flew shoulder-to-shoulder with Zhu Zhiquan.

Zhu Zhiquan glanced at his remaining Magic Power and helplessly jumped onto Zhao Yuxin's sword. At the same time, Chen Ligang also jumped onto Li Yue's sword, following behind them.

As the two women controlled their Five-Star Swords to dodge and weave, Chen Ligang asked, "What are you two doing here? Can't you see such a huge monster? Even that brother and I couldn't break its defense together!"

Zhao Yuxin activated Plant Command, letting the vines on the ruins control the E-Duo-Ba Demon Tree, and then replied, "Of course we know that. You two were making such a big noise, I heard it from far away."

After being briefly interfered with by the vines, the E-Duo-Ba Demon Tree broke free with a casual tug, then condensed Magic Power within its body and spat a green breath at them.

Chen Ligang spat out a large mass of yellow grease, forming a high wall behind them to block the breath.

Boom!

The breath hit the fat wall and caused a violent explosion, scattering oil chunks everywhere, but fortunately, this breath had no piercing effect.

After blocking the attack again, Chen Ligang continued to ask, "So what now? This tree demon is not only fast, but it also has all kinds of magic; how to escape now is a problem!"

Li Yue pointed to a large building ruin in front and said, "Huang Jing has already set up a Magic Array in front; it can trap it for a short time, and then we'll have time to hide."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ligang and Zhu Zhiquan's brows relaxed a little, and they both locked their gazes on the E-Duo-Ba Demon Tree behind them.

The E-Duo-Ba Demon Tree still pursued them relentlessly, and it didn't stop using various skills on them. Things like Entanglement, Leaf Attack, Summon Storm, etc., totaled no less than a dozen types.

A few of the skills even had a range that hit buildings two kilometers away; it was just unclear whether Huang Jing had everything ready over there.

Soon, when the E-Duo-Ba Demon Tree chasing the four of them passed through an intersection, a four-pointed star Magic Array suddenly appeared on the ground, and then the E-Duo-Ba Demon Tree's body gradually sank.

This made it feel a trace of fear from death. It wanted to mobilize its Magic Power, but found its Magic Power had become sluggish and difficult to control, so it could only struggle desperately with its physical attributes, attempting to escape this Magic Array.

Suddenly, chains extended from the four corners of the Magic Array, binding it firmly and pulling it down continuously.

Although the E-Duo-Ba Demon Tree could easily snap these chains, the four corners of the four-pointed star Magic Array continued to shoot out chains, pulling it down continuously.

The four people who were originally fleeing froze in place, staring at the E-Duo-Ba Demon Tree with an urge to kill it.

At this moment, Huang Jing flew out from some unknown corner. Seeing that the four of them were still staying in place and even had the intention of a counter-kill, she couldn't help but shout, "Hey~ what are you all standing there for? This Magic Array can only last for five minutes!"

Five minutes? Everyone took one last look at the speed at which the E-Duo-Ba Demon Tree was sinking, did their own calculations in their hearts, and finally fled into a building together to escape the scene.

Watching the four people flee, the E-Duo-Ba Demon Tree could only let out a roar of incompetence where it stood.
