Chapter 171: Volcanic Rock Monsters
Hearing Ah Da confirm that it would be able to send them back to their original world once it regained its energy, the group was instantly excited as Qin Jiagui rushed forward: “Ah…… Ah Da, where can we find the fire energy crystals? We’ll head there immediately, is it someplace nearby?”
The tadpole-like Ah Da was still prone on Su Yu’s shoulder as it opened its tiny black eyes while speaking slowly: “Head in that direction…… keep going forward…… Ah da can feel that those crystals……. Should be in that direction……. Once you reach the end……. You will know…….”
Zhang Zhongmou hurriedly spoke up: “Alright, let’s move out.” before taking the lead.
Qin Jiagui looked him in the eye: “Slow down, how can we ignore them?” as he pointed at the few who were still unconscious.
Su Yu walked forward as he stretched his hand out to press down on the muscular male in a black suit who seemed like an athlete, amongst the five unconscious people, he was the only one to have killed a Lesser Goblin and advanced to tier zero, the others were still ordinary people even though the soul contract was formed.
Su Yu pressed down on the forehead of the male as his strange energy which was in the form of qi immediately pulsed, the unconscious male groaned as he slowly awoke.
The physique of the man was exceptional, as he awoke, he immediately turned before protecting his face.
“Don’t be nervous, we aren’t bad people.” Su Yu retracted his hand before moving towards the other four people, suddenly, his hand that was stretched forward turned rigid.
As for this man who looked like a wrestler, he immediately recalled that he had been knocked unconscious by Su Yu as an infuriated expression appeared on his face, he was thinking of how to attack Su Yu when his body suddenly became rigid, turning his head to look to the side with an expression of astonishment on it.
Qin Jiagui, Ma Ziye, Zhang Zhongmou, Zhao Shichang, Xu Ruyun and the others immediately turned as they formed a circle, placing the bags of food in the centre as expressions of shock appeared on their faces.
Silently without any forewarning, monsters that were formed of fiery volcanic rock slowly appeared from the piles of volcanic rock, these monsters were approximately two metres in height, their bodies were entirely formed of volcanic rock and flames could be seen from the many exposed joints on their body. In the blink of an eye, they had already surrounded the group, there were at least ten of these volcanic rock monsters.
Within the forest, the group had encountered Lesser Goblins, Gnomes and even Zombies, these monsters that were formed of volcanic rock were a first.
What really shocked the group was the aura that these group of monsters released, it was extremely terrifying and definitely not something that a Lesser Goblin or Gnome could match up against.
Looking at these monsters which had suddenly appeared, the responses of the group were exceptional, immediately forming two circles with the tier two and three dark iron warriors in the outer circle while those of tier one and below were protected inside. Su Yu could not be bothered with the man as he immediately stood up, his Eye of Perception was activated as he received information regarding the monsters.
Name: Volcanic Rock Monster
Information: A new lifeform created from volcanic rock by absorbing fire energy for long periods of time. A relatively lower tier monster formed from fire energy, tier four beast soldier, exceptionally sturdy body with high defense, it’s movements are slow and it’s joints are vulnerable.
Su Yu sucked in a breath of cold air as he immediately exclaimed: “Everyone be careful, don’t act recklessly, these are all tier four beast soldiers, the joints are their weaknesses.”
From the information provided by the Eye of Perception, these Volcanic Rock Monsters were relatively low tiered lifeforms formed from fire energy. However, they were actually tier four beast soldiers, comparable to tier four dark iron warriors, even the Single Eyed Zombie King was merely a tier three beast soldier.
Damn, how could this be possible? Tier four beast soldier? There were even ten of them that were currently surrounding them, where had Ah Da sent them to?
As the group heard his words, they also sucked in a breath of cold air, those that were not as strong immediately felt their knees go weak.
Within the group, only Su Yu and Fang Jiong were tier four, the next strongest was Ma Ziye who was only tier three, the others were only tier two and below, how would they fight?
In an instant, everyone began to panic, the ten odd monsters before them had already began to attack them.
Su Yu roared as black scales appeared on his body, the golden thumb on his right hand was raised, the situation was extremely grim and the opponents were at the same tier as him, if he did not utilise the power of the Golden blood, he was afraid that they would actually be wiped out.
Without his reminder, Ma Ziye, Zhang Zhongmou and the others were already utilising their strongest abilities, Ma Ziye activated the Heaven’s Net while whipping out the Star Blade, Zhang Zhongmou and the others retreated to her side while Qin Jiagui activated the Steel Missile.
“Kaboom!”
A thunderous sound rang out as the flying missile struck on of the oncoming Volcanic Rock Monster, its chest region immediately exploded as it lightly swayed, its hands swept at the energy before it revealing no injuries as it continued forward with raised arms towards Qin Jiagui.
Qin Jiagui’s back was currently soaked in cold sweat, damn, even the Steel Missile was powerless? How would they even fight this battle?
Fang Jiong’s expression was solemn as he retrieved the Wok from his back, black undulations exploded from his body as he roared, flinging the Cyclone Wok forward.
The Cyclone Wok smashed into the Volcanic Rock Monster that was nearest to him, its two arms were raised to defend itself as a crisp “clang” rang out, the Cyclone Wok was sent flying away as the monster stumbled, almost falling to the ground.
Su Yu exclaimed: “All of you, back away! Go to Ma Ziye’s side!” before rushing forward.
Ma Ziye firmly grasped the Star Blade, she did not attempt to swing it as she stood at her original position, all her strange energy was currently gathered in her right leg as she utilized the Heaven’s Net, she knew that the effectiveness of the Heaven’s Net would be an extremely important during this fight.
Zhang Zhongmou, Qin Jiagui, Xu Ruyun, Zhao Shichang and the others swiftly retreated to Ma Ziye’s side, forming a small circle. Within this circle, Jade, Yuan Niping, Li Dong and the others were also contained within, everyone was doing their best to keep the circle small, even the man dressed in a western suit had a stunned expression as he stood up.
At this moment, he was currently in the centre together with the other four unconscious people, looking at the Volcanic Rock Monsters that surrounded them, an expression of astonishment was on his face, the words that Qin Jiagui had mentioned floated through his mind, whether he believed it or not, the reality before his eyes was simply irrefutable.
Su Yu used his Golden Thumb to meet the closest Volcanic Rock Monster, the hands of this monster was raised as it smashed towards Su Yu.
Su Yu howled as his Golden Thumb pressed forward, the Rending Storm was activated on his left hand, pushing towards the other arm of the monster.
“Gzzz!”
A crisp sound rang out as the Rending Storm forcefully blocked the arm of the monster causing innumerable rock shards to fly out, the Rending Storm was very powerful but it was unable to instantly shatter the Volcanic Rock Monster. The power of the Golden Thumb was, on the other hand, frightening beyond belief.
The Golden Thumb was pressed down the right arm of the monster as the monster immediately roared, its right arm instantly shattering.
“Nice job……” Ah Da who was still prone on Su Yu’s shoulder seemed to be reinvigorated as it shouted.
“You’re going to be the death of us this time!” Su Yu wanted to scold it but he simply did not have the time to do so, the Golden Thumb had managed to shatter the right arm of the Volcanic Rock Monster as he immediately strode forward, his left arm had already activated the Lizard’s Arm transformation as it swelled, smashing into the chest of the monster.
“Kaboom!”
The Lizard’s Arm multiplied his strength by three, Su Yu was already a tier four expert, coupled with this increase in strength, how terrifying was the force behind this blow?
The Volcanic Rock Monster was like a kite with a broken string as it flew away before smashing into another monster that was behind it, causing both the monsters to tumble away.
This was the outcome that Su Yu was aiming for, thereafter, he immediately rushed towards another Volcanic Rock Monster.
Besides Fang Jiong who had used the Cyclone Wok to send a monster flying while personally dealing with another, there were eight remaining monsters. Su Yu had just dealt with two and there were another six that were still rushing towards Ma Ziye and the others.
Ma Ziye used all her power to activate the Heaven’s Net, it was stunning to see that these monsters were actually quite sharp, they actually jumped as they roared, smashing towards the group from the air.
Ma Ziye and the others were shocked, the Heaven’s Net was rendered useless as Ma Ziye shouted, the Star Blade chopping towards one of the monsters.
There was simply no space to retreat, although the other party was much stronger than her, under the current circumstances, Ma Ziye could only grit her teeth to resist.
“Ding!”
Sparks flew out as the Star Blade smashed into the chest of the monster, a fissure immediately appeared on the chest but the monster continued to wave his hand, ‘Pa!’, sending the Star Blade in Ma Ziye’s hand flying away.
