Chapter 408: Group in Seconds
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Mu Qing held her Dragon Bow with both hands and gave a cold stare. A “kacha” sound was heard as an arrow shot out, morphing into a giant dragon charging towards the rampaging monster swamp.
Whoosh! The arrow shot out and her True Energy Realm strength was completely unleashed. In a split second, the giant dragon turned into ten giant dragons as they pounced on the monster swamp.
Boom, boom, boom!
In an instant, a group of more than 20 Wild Sand Steel Camels were instantly killed. The gigantic monster swamp group immediately dispersed.
“This is the Lady’s strength. The Lady is an expert in her bow and arrow techniques. A single arrow can kill an enemy from miles and miles away. A normal fighter would’ve been sent flying before he even got to get close to the monster swamp.”
“Indeed. Now that we’ve successfully acquired four spirit weapons, one of them being the bow, if the Lady uses her bow, even fighters in the Heaven’s Gate Realm will not be able to get closer than five meters to her.”
Just as the guards were in discussion, Mu Qing unleashed another arrow from her bow. This time, the arrow morphed into a True Energy White Tiger that charged towards the monster swamp. Those Wild Sand Steel Camels showed signs of anger seeing the oncoming True Energy White Tiger.
Roar!
Suddenly, a roar of fury erupted from behind the tiger. An enormous, wild sandstorm appeared behind the tiger. Spiraling wild sand around it, the sandstorm opened up and directly devoured the True Energy White Tiger.
“A Wild Sand Steel Camel in the True Energy Realm,” One of the guards shouted, his voice slightly trembling.
“You puny humans dare kill my people? All of you are begging for death!”
A giant Wild Sand Steel Camel emerged from the monster swamp. He was covered with fur and gave off a dark glow. It had two extremely sharp humps on its back, and a man dressed in black sat atop the camel with a battle sword in hand. This man was an energy deity in the True Energy Realm, akin to the leader of the Deep Sea Giant Whales. “This is the territory of the Wild Sand Steel Camels. Any human who dares to trespass will be executed.”
The leader of the Steel Camels waved his sword around as he spoke. In an instant, wild sand and wind started to rise from all directions, spiraling up and threatening the carriages. Instantly, the area around the carriages was filled with wild sandstorms.
“Mere tiny monsters also dare to kill our Mu Family’s carriages!” Mu Bo exploded in anger, a sand yellow long sword immediately forming in his hand. He flew out, centered himself, then unleashed a crescent-shaped sword aura in all directions.
Boom, boom, boom!
The sword aura struck above the wild sandstorm, instantly vanquishing its formation. The leader of the Wild Sand Steel Camels was sent a few steps back in retreat as well.
“Brothers, kill them. I shall block the attacks from the two of them and stomp them to death!” The Steel Camels leader let out a roar and waved his large sword. Instantly, the ground started to shake as countless Wild Sand Steel Camels charged ferociously towards the carriages.
Witnessing what was happening, everyone’s faces changed dramatically. They were going to be stampeded to death by the onrushing camels.
Whoosh!
Another arrow was unleashed towards the monster swamp. However, a wave of wild sandstorm stopped the arrow in its tracks; evidently, the leader had made his move. Elder Mu also unleashed multiple swords strikes, but all of his sword attacks were blocked by the enemy as well. Facing the onrushing monsters charging towards them, almost everyone looked helpless as they prepared to fight to the death.
Buzz, buzz, buzz!
The overwhelming monster swamp threatened to engulf the whole desert and the Mu Family carriages along with it. However, just as the monster swamp was about a meter away from the carriages, all of the monsters suddenly revealed expressions of fear. Stunned, all of them started to drop to the ground. The onrushing monsters fell to the ground one after another, creating a majestic scene as sand flew up in the air up to a meter’s height. Witnessing this turn of events, everyone, including Mu Qing, Mu Bo and the carriage guards, were shocked.
“What, what just happened?” Mu Qing said as she darted her glance in all directions. So many monsters instantly falling over; this was not a coincidence. Perhaps it was a strong fighter assisting from behind their backs.
“How is this possible? Was it a fighter in the Spirit Devour Realm?”
The few True Energy Realm Wild Sand Steel Camels standing at a distance were shocked. For one to be able to instantly knock down so many of its kind, they must have used a spiritual attack.
“What cursed luck, let’s go!” The leader said as he waved his giant sword and turned around in retreat.
“What about our brothers?” Another True Energy Realm Steel Camel asked.
“Are brothers more important than your life? I suspect that there is a Spirit Devour Realm fighter in the carriage. Let’s retreat for now.”
After that, the few True Energy Realm Wild Sand Steel Camels disappeared in the desert.
“Haha, those True Energy Realm monsters have escaped. Looks like there was a strong fighter protecting us. How lucky.” The guards burst into laughter after the danger had dissipated.
“Lady, what just happened?” Mu Bo was extremely perplexed.
“I’m not sure. Just as the monster swamp was about to hit us, I seemingly detected a burst of aura. This aura carried a strong sense of pressure. However, this pressurizing force was targeted at those monsters.” Mu Qing shook her head as she tried to recall.
Mu Bo said, “No one here can display such techniques. Even fighters above the Heaven’s Gate Realm, the Heaven’s Strength Realm fighters, would not be able to do it, let alone me.”
“Indeed!” Mu Qing nodded her head as she continued, “However, I could subtly detect that the source of that aura exploded from inside one of our horse carriages, the last one. Oh right, was the man that we saved sitting inside that carriage?”
“I shall go and find out.” After that, Mu Bo walked over to ask the guards. Upon his return, he said, “He is indeed inside the final horse carriage. Don’t tell me it was his doing?” Mu Bo was extremely shocked.
“That cannot be possible. That man’s injuries have yet to heal. Even if he had completely recovered, he is ultimately only a fighter in the Energy Shaping Realm. Furthermore, given his tender age, there is no way that he would be able to knock out the whole group of that monster swamp.”
Mu Qing darted her glance in the direction of Ye Mo and said, “Let’s not waste any more time. Perhaps a strong fighter was passing by and decided to save our lives. Let’s pick up the pace and leave this desert before the sun goes down.”
The carriage team moved on once again, with everyone in discussion over the miraculous turn of events.
“That was simply majestic. The Wild Sand Steel Camels were at least in the thousands and all of them dropped to the ground in an instant. That amount of strength is way too frightening.”
“The Lady said that we were fortunate to encounter a strong fighter passing by who decided to help us.”
One of the guards could not help but ask him, seeing that he did not speak a word. “Kid, did that scare you?”
“That was scary indeed. Were all of you not frightened?” Ye Mo asked him back.
“What is there to be scared of? If the monster swamp was coming, I would’ve chopped them down with a few strikes. I would do the same even if the Desert Eagles showed up,” The guard said overconfidently.
Ye Mo smiled slightly and sat cross-legged as he resumed healing his wounds. After half a day, Ye Mo’s injuries were almost fully recovered. The Yaori Light’s treatment effects were simply too powerful; even a missing arm or a broken leg would be completely healed, let alone mere vital organs being shattered.
As for the ten guards, they remained in discussion over what had just happened.
“Darn it, why has the carriage stopped again?” The bluffing guard involuntarily scolded after realizing that the carriage had stopped once again.
“We, we’ve really bumped into the Desert Eagles this time.” The carriage rider’s face was deadly solemn, looking as if he was prepared to die. There were all hired by the Mu Family and it was the first time that they had met with such dire luck, meeting both the desert monster swamp and the Desert Eagles.
“What? Desert Eagles?” The guard revealed an obvious fearful expression.
Ye Mo smiled slightly. “Sir, it is time for you to display your skills. Go and chop them down!”
