Chapter 126: Tidying Up
The gale and the rain had stopped. Ji Hao sat on a fiery dragon’s back, looking at the Cold Stream Valley, which was located over tens of miles away.
During these couple of days, the war situation of the Cold Stream Valley hadn’t changed a lot. The enemies were powerful, but the Cold Stream Valley’s defense was not weak either. Those mysterious creatures and spirits that had been called out by Ji Hao and his friends to help were powerful and violent and even beyond of what the enemies could have imagined.
Looking from a distance, tens of Black Water Serpent Clan’s Senior Magi had built an altar outside of the valley, and were slaughtering a group of slaves, which they had captured from unknown places, and were performing the blood-offering ceremony. They injected all of the vast bloodline power that was being gained through the offering ceremony into a horned serpent’s body, then used this serpent as the main attacking force, attempting to break the fence wall.
With the help of the extra bloodline power, this horned serpent transformed temporarily into a flood dragon. A pair of horns grew out on its forehead, four caruncles, which seemed to develop into feet, had emerged from under its stomach, and its head started turning into a head of a dragon. When it moved, clouds and winds would move along its movement; and once it twisted its body, large amounts of frosty ice crystals swished down from its body.
Ji Zhuo was standing on the back of his contracted Fire Crow, holding the long spear in his hand and constantly releasing raging flames, crashing against the ice crystals that were being spew out from the horned serpent’s mouth, into the air.
The ice and the fire violently collided against each other in the air, and caused thunderous booms; red and blue light were flashing across the air, and the airwaves that were being sent out by the collision were so strong that it even shook Ji Zhuo and the horned serpents, causing them to be caught off their balance, making them unable to stand steadily.
A Black Water Serpent Clan’s MagusPriest, who had been performing the blood offering ceremony, suddenly let out a great growl and cut his own left hand off. His entire hand then transformed into a beam of blood-red light and merged into the body of the horned serpent; after that, the horned serpent’s body shrunk into around twenty zhangs long, and the four caruncles under its stomach instantly burst out, from which, four sharp dragon claws, each having three fingers, thrust out.
A resonating dragon call came from its mouth. The horned serpent then widely opened its mouth, and spew out a stream of bone-piercing cold water, flooding towards Ji Zhuo.
Ji Zhuo shouted out, raised his long spear and pierced hard into the stream of water; however, the water stream, which seemed as if it could be easily broken by a single shot, was continuously pressing Ji Zhuo down along with the long spear that was made of mulberry wood. Within only the span of few breaths, the black water stream had poured over Ji Zhuo’s body.
Ji Zhuo started quivering instantly, and his contracted Fire Crow fell onto the ground with its head upside down. His body was covered in a thick layer of black ice, and was trembling intensely. A large piece of skin was broken due to the frost formed by the terrifying ice-power, and had fallen of, baring the bloody muscles under his skin.
The horned serpent let out a long howl, then dived down from the air, raising one of its claws high and made a grasping-motion towards Ji Zhuo.
Boom! Boom!
Two gigantic stonemen darted out from the ground, waved their huge fists towards the serpent, and attempted to smash it; the horned serpent rotated its body and heavily lashed at the two stonemen with its long tail; instantly, the two stonemen bumped against the ground with cracks densely covering their bodies.
The two stonemen were Stone’s friends, who had come to help. Apparently, they had been through death trials during these past couple of days, just like the other warriors from the Cold Stream Valley.
Ji Hao looked coldly towards the proud and violent horned serpent, slowly raised his right arm, while pointing at the horned serpent, and said a word in a cold tone.
“Attack!”
A ten-zhang tall giant, who had been standing behind Ji Hao, with his entire body coiled around by raging fire and lava, pulled the longbow, which he had been holding in his hands, open. The five-zhang long, full-metal long bow let out a loud buzzing sound, followed by which, an arrow that was as thick as an ordinary man’s waist, darted out along with a trail of eye-piercing fiery light behind it.
This lava-giant was a peak Magus-King level powerful being and the deputy commander of the first army that was under Zhu Rong Tonggong’s command.
Ji Hao didn’t have a clear idea of what a peak Magus King level warrior meant in the Southern Wasteland. All he knew was that the arrow that was shot by the lava-giant, flashed across the air and reached the horned serpent’s body, which had just beaten Ji Zhuo, within only a single moment. The next moment, the horned serpent had vanished.
