Chapter 261 - Snipe Kill
Clang, clang, clang!
The three gigantic metallic spiders quickly moved across the river and began chasing after Ji Hao and his teammates.
Their long and metallic feet clanged against the blood-red ground, creating fire sparks against the solid rocks. They moved as fast as a fierce wind, closely following behind Ji Hao and the others.
Now and then, one metallic spider would stop abruptly, stick its thin and sharp feet deeply into the ground, steadily support its heavy body, while opening its huge jaws and showing a human-leg-thick, triangular pyramid-shaped crystal pipe.
Countless blood-red spell symbols were rotating inside that crystal pipe, along with which, powers of huge pieces of magic crystals that were inlaid in the stomachs of these metal spiders were quickly drawn out, and quickly formed into a human-head-sized flame sphere on the top of the pipe.
Followed by a thunderous boom, the metallic spider’s body would move quickly backwards, while its feet scratched the ground and sent up clouds of dirt. The small ball of flame darted out, with a palm-sized, burning-red spell symbol quickly sparkling in the core of the ball of flame. At the same time the natural powers contained in the surrounding mountains and river were also rapidly being absorbed by the ball of flame.
The small ball of flame flew at an amazingly high speed and approached Ji Hao and the others within the blink of an eye.
Every time when a ball approached them, Ji Hao would turn around, open his arm and bump against the ball of flame. Great water essence power contained in his turtle shell would release on time and form a thick layer of water shield, protecting Ji Hao’s body. The ball of flame would fly against the water shield and the fire power contained in it clashed against the turtle shell’s water power, releasing large clouds of steam and beams of fiery light that would instantly rise into the air.
Then the ball of flame would explode, emitting great fiery light that would cover an area with a radius of nearly a hundred zhang. Similar to the small metallic balls that those metallic spiders let out, these balls of flame attack range would be magically controlled and be kept within the radius of a hundred zhang. The waves of hot air and raging flames would never pass the boundary of this area, not even for an inch.
However, the relatively smaller attacking range raised the efficiency of the balls of flame explosion. Sticky flame roared and rolled within a hundred zhang in radius, even the special blood-red coloured rock ground of the Chi Ban Mountain was melted into lava. A thick layer of lava flowed on the ground, glowing like the glaze on the surface of porcelain.
The air became boiling hot. Fortunately, the natural water essence power contained in Ji Hao’s turtle shell could particularly suppress all kinds of fire powers.
The thick shield of water emitted freezing air that would collide against the flames created by the exploding fireballs. After the span of a few breaths, the hot air dissipated gradually. After each time Ji Hao would turn and continue running. But, the three metallic spiders would also get the chance the get closer to Ji Hao and his teammates after each time.
“Lowly barbarians, you can’t run!” The Yu Clan young man riding on his mount, rushed closely behind Ji Hao and his team, while being followed by the remaining two Jia Clan warriors, large group of slave warriors and slaves. He was cursing viciously and it seemed like he still was angry for those hundreds of slaves, which were poisoned to their death by Yu Mu.
“Kid, the armour on you looks quite nice. It should worth a good price, enough to trade for two thousand slaves.” The Yu Clan young man yelled his judgment regarding Ji Hao’s gears loudly, “As for you, your skull will become part of mine personal collection.”
Laughing proudly out loud, the young man continued, “A barbarian kid possessing the power of an adult warrior, your skull must be beautiful. I will let my craftsman emboss many exquisite patterns on it, and inlay the most precious gemstones in it to worship the greatest, noblest Blood Moon. Your skull will certainly bring up the interests of those beautiful and noble ladies.”
Ji Hao silently rushed forward, while the Gold Crow flame blazed inside his body, continuously burning those crazily spreading corrupting blood power and tried to purify his body.
This damned Blood Moon curse was so annoying. After only ten minutes, the newly grown spirit blood, transformed from the life force that Taisi had sent into his body, was all corrupted by the dark Blood Moon power. At the moment, Ji Hao felt as if his legs had softened again and he didn’t know how much further he could make.
Flicking his finger, Ji Hao drew out a black iron tablet. That was his ID tablet, given by Huaxu Lie, which represented his identification as a soldier of Huaxu Lie’s special army. On the other side, this tablet was also a magic tool that could be used to connect his fellow soldiers.
