The Portal of Wonderland - Chapter 308

Chapter 308: Demon Race’s Directory
The magic image of the lofty blood-red tree had a pair of long and bulky branches… like a rattan . The top of these branches was covered with lush green sharp thorns .




The rattan-like branches shook once . Numerous green sharp thorns burst out of them, and swept straight toward Shi Mu . After that, a ray of green light flashed on the surface of the branches . And, this gave birth to numerous vast-stretched thorns once again .
But, Shi Mu's entire body was wrapped up in a layer of blue light as well as a layer of golden light at this moment .
The fact was that Shi Mu had already added the support of the Wind Shadow Magic Charm and the Golden Star Magic Charm to his body . He had done so the moment the magic image of the big tree had appeared before his eyes . His black blade miraculously transformed into several layers of blade-lights, and resisted Lord Xue Kui's attack . Simultaneously, Shi Mu tried to evade the bombardment of those incisive green thorns .
However, the opposite party possessed the strength of an Earth-ranked middle-stage powerhouse . On top of that, he had summoned the magic image to draw support from . This had imposed a surplus pressure on Shi Mu . And, Shi Mu was gradually finding it hard to endure this pressure .
Consequently, the Golden Star Protective Shield on the surface of Shi Mu's body disappeared only after a few rounds of fight . His clothes had been torn to shreds . And, the scales on his body had become tainted with blood .
Fortunately, the firmness of his body had far surpassed that of any ordinary martial warrior after having practiced the sixth stage of the Art of Breeding Strong Evil Ape . Otherwise, these attacks would have long fractured his muscles and bone even though he had the scales to protect his body .
Droplets of sweat were oozing from Shi Mu's forehead at the moment . He was exerting the entirety of his might to ward off the enemy's attack . He was making use of his black blade as well as all kind of magic charms . However, he had been continually retreating from the battle encirclement .
But, Lord Xue Kui hadn't loosened a bit . Instead, he had been pressing Shi Mu harder and harder .
The black blade and the thick rattan suddenly collided with each other in a violent manner . This rendered a powerful jolt to Shi Mu's body, and he staggered for a moment .
"Ga Ga!" Lord Xue Kui burst into a strange laughter, and stamped his foot on the ground .
Several long blood-red rattans drilled out of the ground, and wound around Shi Mu's feet at lightening speed . This left Shi Mu incapable of budging .
"Conceited boy, now die!"
Lord Xue Kui thundered loudly . The green thorns on the surface of the magic image's two branches radiated splendid green luminescence in his background . They were about to fire again . It seemed that they wanted to strike and kill Shi Mu in one fell swoop .
However, Shi Mu raised his head at this moment, and the corners of his mouth curved into an arc .
A mass of black smoke flashed behind Lord Xue Kui the next moment . And, a white silhouette came into appearance . Its whole body was enveloped in a mass of white light . So, it was difficult to see its appearance clearly . However, a graceful and slender figure could be vaguely seen amid the light .
The white silhouette waved its hand, and a short black stick-like thing emerged in its hand . The silhouette lifted the heavy stick in a manner that made it seem very light . And then, it pounded it toward Lord Xue Kui's back .




Lord Xue Kui also responded considerably fast . He stimulated the magic image behind him to stop the attack at once . And, two rattan-like branches intertwined and condensed into a blood-red rattan shield in front of him . Then, a faint green light appeared on the surface of the shield, and several barbs appeared on the shield .
The spiritual aura this white silhouette was exuding didn't seem stronger than that of Xue Kui in any respect .
However, the next act still left Xue Kui with a profound shock .
The black short stick appeared as if it was as light as a feather… as if it lacked strength . However, the surface of the blood-red rattan shield revealed a fit of tremor as soon as the short stick fell on it . In addition, the spirit power contained in the rattan shield reduced to half in an instant . Even the green barbs started to shatter and disperse in quick succession . Then, the surface of the shield turned gloomy, and collapsed along with the big blood-red tree's magic image .
The short stick then moved, and pounded on Lord Xue Kui's body in a fierce manner .
Boom!
The wisp of an incomparably large force rushed forth from the short stick in a crazy manner, and infiltrated his body .
Lord Xue Kui's facial expression profoundly changed . Then, a "Ka-cha" sound spread from his body, and his body split into two segments the next moment .
Then, a "whoosh" sound was heard as an armored palm stretched out with a lightning speed . It grabbed Lord Xue Kui's head, and exerted its full strength on it .
A crisp "Ka-cha" sound was heard .
Lord Xue Kui's head was crushed to pieces… as if it were a watermelon . Consequently, red and white substances splashed in all directions .
Then, a cluster of green light flashed, and flew out of his crushed head . A miniature tree demon was curled up in that green light . His face was suffused with an appalled look that couldn't be explained in words . It was the soul of that Radish Shuttle Demon's General .
The General's beast soul had barely flown a little distance after its appearance when a mass of black smoke followed after . This black smoke caught up with the soul, and wrapped around it .
Then, the white silhouette pulled the black smoke back towards its hand . It grabbed the cluster of green light, and swallowed it . After that, the silhouette flashed, and vanished into thin air .
Only two or three seconds had passed since the appearance of the white silhouette . It hadn't only killed an Earth-rank middle stage powerhouse, but had also gobbled up his soul within a matter of seconds .
The facial expression of the other two Radish Shuttle Tree Demons abruptly changed as they saw that their lord had been slaughtered . They blocked a few attacks of the golden sword shadows . Then, a green light flashed on their bodies . And, they drilled into the ground, and made a clean escape from the battlefield .




Shi Mu felt as if his feet had loosened . The blood-red rattan which had wound his feet started to wither away at a fast speed . Shi Mu waved his hand, and recalled the golden sword . Then, his eyes turned and looked at the battling group on the other side .
The people of the Dark Moon Cult had summoned a large number of Dead Spirit creatures under Altar Lord Qin's leadership . And, they all were in a tangle with the Chief and the other people of the Giant Tree Tribe . In addition, over a dozen corpses lay on the ground . Most of these corpses were of the low-ranked disciples of the Dark Moon Cult . But, two or three corpses belonged to the Giant Tree Tribe as well .

"Lord Xue Kui has been killed!" someone shouted at this time .
Everyone was absorbed in a fierce battle . Therefore, there were only a handful of people apart from Altar Lord Qin and the Giant Tree Tribe's Chief who had their attention fixed on Shi Mu's battle situation .
They turned pale with fright and shock when they discovered that Shi Mu had taken down Lord Xue Kui — an Earth-ranked middle-stage powerhouse .
"Let's go!"
Altar Lord Qin stole a glance at Shi Mu with a sense of fear in his heart, and shouted in a loud voice . He held a grey bone-stick in his hand; it was a spirit tool . It gleamed with a magnificent grey radiance, and condensed into a massive grey human skull . Then, the grey skull pounced toward the Giant Tree Tribe's Chief, and compelled him to draw a few steps back . Meanwhile, Altar Lord Qin turned his hand and took out a yellow magic charm . He then held it between his fingers, and crushed it to pieces .
An expansive yellow light emerged, and shrouded the surrounding area within a few feet . Then, the yellow light flashed, and all the disciples of the Dark Moon Cult disappeared without a trace along with the Dead Spirit creatures .
Altar Lord Qin had played a very decisive role here as soon as he had realized that the situation had turned very bad . And, he had taken the decision to retreat without any hesitation .
Only the people of the Giant Tree Tribe and Shi Mu remained in the valley at this moment .
The Giant Tree Tribe's Chief and a few people beside him exchanged glances with one another . Then, they walked over to Shi Mu, touched their chest single-handedly, and said with deep veneration, "Thank you so much for breaking the siege, Mr Mu . Your Excellency is indeed very strong . We have offended you before . But, we hope that Your Excellency will forgive us . "
"Those people have retreated from here . So, this Mu's promise should be considered fulfilled . So, I'll take my leave now," Shi Mu didn't say anything further . He simply waved his hand, and the blue jade shuttle propped up his body . It then flew him outside the mountain valley .
Lu Tang also wanted to say something to Shi Mu, but Shi Mu had flown away without giving her a chance to speak . So, she couldn't help but feel disappointed… as if she had lost something .
"It is fortunate that he took only one peach king fruit . " The Chief looked at the fire-attribute tree king, and heaved a sigh of relief .
"Little Tang, you and Elder Peng return to the tribe and invite a few priests to this place . We need those people to fix the Totem magic array here," the Chief said to Lu Tang and another middle-aged barbarian .
Lu Tang complied, and left the place along with the middle-aged barbarian .




"Great Elder, you must've noticed that white person's silhouette a moment ago, right?" the Chief spoke to a grizzled-haired old barbarian man who stood next to him .
"That white silhouette stayed here for only a fleeting moment . So, even I couldn't see it clearly . It seems to have some relation with the Soul magician's magic arts of the Dark Moon Cult . However, it was formidable enough to kill the Earth-ranked middle stage demon general in an instant . This kind of strength is appalling," the grizzled-haired old barbarian man replied while shaking his head .
"Right . But, Mu Shi had undergone a beastly transformation . And, that technique was clearly the secret technique of our barbarian race . Anyway, he didn't use his power to take away all our peach king fruits . And, that is indeed a fortunate thing for us," the Chief said with a long and deep sigh .
. . . . . . . .
Shi Mu flew away from the valley at first . After that, he prompted the movement of the blue jade shuttle, and flew for some time . He soon found a secluded mountain to descend .
He was about to land when a plume of black smoke bubbled-up beside him . Then, a white person's silhouette emerged from that smoke; it was Yan Luo . It held the black meteoric iron stick in its hand .
"Yan Luo, I'm extremely grateful to you . I know I wasn't a suitable match for that Earth-ranked tree demon," Shi Mu said as his eyes fell on Yan Luo .
"I had come there to return your stick . Arrange a lot of spirit stones for the next time . I'll consider this instance as an advance payment," Yan Luo threw the black stick towards Shi Mu while it was speaking . Then, it turned around since it wanted to return to the Dead Spirit World .
"Wait a minute . " Shi Mu put out his hand, and received the black stick . Then, he shouted to stop Yan Luo .
Yan Luo stopped, and turned its head to look at him .
"How do you make this stick swallow the spirit power? I tried it plenty of times . But, I didn't reap any concrete benefits… except for arousing the devouring ability of my black blade," Shi Mu said .
"It's impossible to achieve this level with your current strength . You have to wait until your strength soars to the Earth-rank . Then, we'll talk about it," Yan Luo hesitated for a moment . Then, it replied in a dull and sinking voice . After that, a grey smoke flashed on its body, and Yan Luo blended into the void .
Shi Mu still wanted to say something, but Yan Luo had already returned to the Dead Spirit World .
He raised his black stick… only to find that its weight had returned to what it had been when it had been refined . He couldn't help but smile bitterly while shaking his head .
Shi Mu had obtained many spirit stones from here . But, they would certainly be squandered by Yan Luo in due course .
However, Shi Mu had got the green flower as well as Yan Luo's timely help in-exchange for those spirit stones . This could still be regarded as fairly good deal .
Shi Mu thought about such points in order to console himself . And, he was able to calm himself down as a result .
He returned the short stick to his back . Then, a purple light flashed in his hand as he took out the peach king fruit .
There was a hint of excitement across his face since he had finally obtained this fire-attribute peach king fruit . He was now confident that he could practice the Book of Flaming Red Ape to the ninth stage within half-a-year of time as long as he found a suitable fire-spirit place . Moreover, he could step into the Xian Tian Advanced stage by doing so .
He knew that he could've obtained all three fire-attribute peach kings . But then, he would've been no different than a robber or bandit . He had helped the opposite party to drive away such a formidable enemy . So, one peach fruit could be considered as an ample reward for this help . He couldn't have staked his claim for the other two peach kings since his conscience wouldn't have allowed him to do so .
Shi Mu put away the peach king . Then, he slipped his hand in his bosom, and fished out a bracelet-sized black ring .
This was a storage magic tool which Shi Mu had obtained from Lord Xue Kui's body . It could be regarded as today's second harvest . However, he hadn't checked it yet .
Shi Mu's brows furrowed as he poured a wisp of his spirit sense into the round black ring in order to explore it .
There was enormous space in the ring . In fact, it was almost twice as large as the Vast Earth Ring . But, the things inside . . .
His eyebrows creased . It couldn't be denied that the space in the ring was considerably large . However, there was hardly anything in it . There was only a small pile of spirit stones and some miscellaneous items . Some books were also among those items .
It seemed that there were more or less ten-thousand spirit stones in the ring . However, those miscellaneous items could be regarded as precious stuff . All these things surely constituted fairly good wealth for Shi Mu . But, they didn't seem to match Lord Xue Kui's status . After all, he had been an Earth-ranked powerhouse .
Shi Mu transferred everything from the black ring into his Vast Earth Ring .
"Eh . . . " His eyes suddenly moved . He turned his hand, and took out a booklet . It was one of the many ancient books that were stored in the black ring .
"The Demon Race's Directory . "
A gleam of happiness flashed through Shi Mu's face . He was in an urgent need to learn more about the Western Continent at this time . And, this book was exactly what he needed .
But, this wasn't an appropriate place to begin his exploration of the book . Shi Mu's gazed suddenly shifted to a shadow that was far away…
Cai was flying toward him at a very fast speed from the direction of the valley .
