Chapter 3221: Unexpected

The blood Qi monster's skull cracked, and black-brown tree roots grew from the cracks in its skull. This feeling of being parasitized by tree roots to every corner of the body made one feel cold in their heart just by looking at it.

Judging from the blood Qi monster's current appearance, the tree roots of the Overgrowth of Madness should not have grown to every corner of its body yet, but it should be soon. Although the blood Qi monster was fierce, it hadn't reached the level of being able to rival the Overgrowth of Madness.

Due to the influence of the alchemy array just now, the sand on the surrounding ground had changed greatly, turning into a substance resembling bleached rock.

Su Xiao stood on the raised accumulated rock. Although he had traded with the Overgrowth of Madness, he remained absolutely cautious about this Void alien existence. Not to mention that he knew too little about this existence, this existence itself represented danger, madness, distortion, etc.

Wood and Ceyas didn't step forward, obviously realizing how dangerous the Overgrowth of Madness was.

The blood Qi monster stiffened in place, and tree roots grew from the cracks in its skull. Its figure became bone-thin at a speed visible to the naked eye. Although it was still fierce, it lacked the unstoppable momentum it had just now.

Just when everyone thought the blood Qi monster would be destroyed by the Overgrowth of Madness and, because its life energy and soul energy were sucked dry, turn into ash, the tree roots growing from its skull gradually faded into the air and disappeared.

The invasion of the Overgrowth of Madness stopped. Seeing this scene, Su Xiao was very puzzled. Had the Overgrowth of Madness left? In that scene just now, the Overgrowth of Madness was clearly preparing to absorb the blood Qi monster into ash, but for some reason, it suddenly left, very abruptly.

"Bai Ye, prepare to act."

Wood's shout came. Hearing this shout, a premonition that this place was not suitable for staying long appeared in Su Xiao's heart. Instead, he dismissed this thought. Wood and Ceyas hadn't discovered that the blood Qi monster's target was him. If they discovered this, although these two good teammates wouldn't turn and run, they would hide behind during the battle.

Only by defeating the blood Qi monster was there a possibility of leaving the Endless Desert. This was also the reason why Wood and Ceyas wouldn't strategically retreat. Choosing to retreat now, leading to Su Xiao being chased and killed by the blood Qi monster, Wood and Ceyas would also die in this desert sooner or later.

Su Xiao turned his head to look at Wood. He felt Wood was wrong. Although this Devil was strong, he rarely chose to attack first or stand out first in every battle.

This time Wood stood out first, even having the intention of leading the charge. This must have a plot.

The current situation looked like eight against one, but it was not. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang provided auras from more than 300 meters away, and Baha was exceptionally vigilant about spatial fluctuations, lest all this was a trap set by someone in the dark. Before the battle reached a white-hot stage, Baha would not easily join the battle group.

I don't know what the situation was with the Moon Apostle. She only summoned a speed-type Moon-type elk throughout the process and didn't summon other summoned creatures. In this situation, if the Tier 8 Moon Apostle fought one-on-one, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang could make her cry.

Lilim + Morey, who hadn't entered the awakened state, counted as one combat force. The current situation was four against one.

Besides dealing with the blood Qi monster, the sudden departure of the Overgrowth of Madness gave Su Xiao a vague premonition that something incredible was about to happen. Added to that was Wood's attitude of being eager to get rid of the blood Qi monster.

"Bai Ye, how about... retreat?"

Ceyas, who was behind Su Xiao to the side, spoke. He was closest to Su Xiao. Obviously, Ceyas also discovered that the situation was wrong.

"No chance."

Su Xiao certainly wouldn't retreat. If he retreated, the blood Qi monster would immediately catch up, and then it might develop into a one-on-one fight between him and the blood Qi monster.

Now that the arrow was on the string, it had to be fired.

"Roar!!"

The blood Qi monster roared, the exoskeleton mask on its face split open at the mouth, revealing a mouth full of sharp teeth. This monster's physical body was becoming more and more perfect. Before, when he saw it, its skull was still somewhat illusory, but now it had become solid to this extent.

A delicate small blade that seemed to be made of silver moonlight appeared in Su Xiao's hand. It was the 【Silver Moon Blade】. He used the Silver Moon Blade to cut his right palm, not only did it not cut a wound, but brilliant moonlight surged, and then gradually merged into his hand. The dual effects of Moon Oath + Moon Blade were successfully added.

Moon Oath effect: True Strength +4 points, True Agility +4 points, Willpower +10 points, Health increased by 4200 points.

Moon Blade effect: Increases weapon sharpness by 135 points, increases weapon attack power by 20~32 points (lower limit~upper limit).

The 【Silver Moon Blade】 turned back into a ring, Su Xiao's hand gripped the hilt, and the Dragon Flash was unsheathed.

"Bai Ye, let's make a deal."

Morey, who was staring at the blood Qi monster, spoke in a low voice.

"..."

Finding Su Xiao didn't speak, Morey continued: "Let the Moon Apostle go to join Xiang Bubu-Teni. Your magic eagle is protecting Xiang Bubu-Teni, right? The Moon Apostle's combat power is too trashy now. By the way, let your magic eagle Baha also cover the Moon Apostle. In return, if there is any danger, the Moon Apostle has life-saving items that can take Xiang Bubu-Teni and slip away. Because of some special reasons, the Moon Apostle's combat power is very weak now, otherwise I wouldn't have become her partner this time. I'm not here to fight, but to protect her."

The Moon Apostle's attitude was clear. She also had to fight the blood Qi monster to the death. Although she was a silly girl, she clearly knew that if she didn't eliminate the blood Qi monster, she couldn't leave the Endless Desert. Now they had to fight for their lives together.

"Deal."

Su Xiao certainly wouldn't refuse this deal. First, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang could blend into the environment and wasn't afraid of the Moon Apostle playing tricks.

Secondly, a little rich girl-type summoner like the Moon Apostle must be wearing escape-type scrolls. If there was an accident, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang could bite her calf, and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang could hitch a ride.

"Happy cooperation."

Dense crimson blood droplets appeared around Morey. These blood droplets gathered into a phantom behind Morey.

The phantom held a large bow and had several arrows nearly five meters long on its back. This was Morey's ability, Energy-based Super-Precision Control. Don't look at the phantom behind her holding a bow and arrow, but this was not a long-range ability, but the closer the distance, the stronger the power. If she shot an arrow a few meters from the enemy, the power was very top-tier.

On the pale rockified ground, the blood Qi monster arched its upper body, its head hung down, and black-red blood smoke drifted from its body, like a wolf smoke, drifting straight to the high sky.

"Watch for the opportunity."

Ceyas strode forward, standing ahead of Su Xiao. He was going to be the first to rush up. After all, he had immortality, suitable for testing the enemy's abilities.

A roar sounded under Ceyas's feet, and amidst the splashing broken rocks, he rushed straight toward the blood Qi monster. This spirit, it could only be said, was worthy of being from the Meteorite Star.

"Strong, rushing up just like that."

Morey watched with blood boiling, making a gesture to rush up too, but in the next moment.

Pfft!

The battle scythe slashed across, Ceyas's head flew up, and the headless corpse lost its sense of direction, falling to the ground with a thud.

Morey, who had never cooperated with Ceyas and had never seen Ceyas's abilities, was shocked by the scene before her. She really wanted to say: "Tentacle brother, why did you send your head?" ===== CHAPTER 3222 =====
