Chapter 557: Chapter 428: Mastering the Art of Group Battles

“Demon Tree Warrior, Poison Seedlings!”

Seeing the Horror Wolves charging, Chu Mu gave the command to the Demon Tree Warrior.

The roots of the Demon Tree Warrior covered an area within a radius of one hundred meters. Its roots didn’t emerge entirely from the ground but instead appeared on the surface as tiny blue Ran Wood seedlings, similar to algae.

These tiny blue seedlings seemed to have a connection to each other, producing a kind of poison between them, which was sprinkled on the ground and stained the entire one hundred meter radius around the Demon Tree Warrior with its poisonous effect.

Just like wild weeds cropping up, the wild and raging Horror Wolves didn’t care about these seedlings at all. Soon, a large group of them stepped into the area poisoned by the seedlings that Chu Mu had set up!

The poison had an extremely strong adhesion, and as the Horror Wolves charged through and stepped on the poisoned ground, the toxin spread rapidly from their limbs into their bodies.

This kind of poison wasn’t painful or itchy, but the longer they stayed in the area, the faster and greater their vitality would decrease!

Not paying any heed to the inconspicuous poison, the fastest Ninth-Stage Horror Wolf charged to the front of the Demon Tree Warrior. Its bloodthirsty wolf claws slashed through the air, creating sparks from friction and a deafening noise!

The Demon Tree Warrior retreated, realizing that a direct attack from multiple Ninth-Stage Horror Wolves would definitely be fatal. At this moment, the Ghost Dome King’s defense was needed to block for the Demon Tree Warrior.

Without Chu Mu’s deliberate command, the Ghost Dome King consciously stepped in front of the Demon Tree Warrior to withstand the onslaught of the fierce wolves!

“Slash!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

The attacks of nine out of the ten Horror Wolves fell upon the Ghost Dome King, whose defense had reached the Ninth-Rank Mid-stage. These wolves, cleverly targeting the same weak point on the Ghost Dome King, managed to wound it with their first wave of attacks.

Chu Mu realized that the numerous Horror Wolves had the ability to break the Ghost Dome King’s defense and immediately ordered it to use its strongest racial skill!

“Ghost Transformation!”

The Ghost Dome King had been saving this skill in previous fights for more critical moments.

With doubled defense, Chu Mu decisively selected the Ghost Dome King’s defense to be enhanced!

The defense of the Ghost Dome King was instantly boosted by two tiers, and as the ten lower-tier Horror Wolves launched their fierce attacks, only some minor scratches appeared on the Ghost Dome King’s body.

“Demon Tree Warrior, Wood Finger Prison!”

Hidden within the Ghost Dome King’s rock-type defensive skill, the Demon Tree Warrior clapped its hands heavily on the ground beneath!!

Ten wooden fingers quickly locked onto a Ninth-Rank Lower Stage Horror Wolf, tightly constricting it to the ground!

“Root Piercing!”

With a double release of skills, the Demon Tree Warrior’s sharp roots pierced from underground into the body of the Horror Wolf as soon as it was restrained!

Life Siphon!!

The Demon Tree Warrior’s vein-like roots began to suck life force away from the Horror Wolf. With its own vitality higher than that of the Ninth-Rank Lower Stage Horror Wolf, the Demon Tree Warrior sucked away one-tenth of the life force in a second, causing the Horror Wolf to lose over one-tenth of its life.

If the Demon Tree Warrior were to suck all of the Ninth-Stage Horror Wolf’s life away, it could completely recover its own life force.

However, these Horror Wolves were not fighting alone. The Demon Tree Warrior only sucked away one-tenth of their life force before its Wood Finger Prison was quickly torn apart by the other wolves. The Ninth-Rank-Lower Stage Horror Wolf managed to escape from the terrifying siphon of the Demon Tree Warrior and roared angrily at it.

“Attack those Eighth Rank advanced stage Horror Wolves.”

The Demon Tree Warrior’s single target attack power was relatively low, but its group killing power was very strong. If a Ninth Rank Lower Stage Horror Wolf was difficult to be a supplement for the Demon Tree Warrior, then ninety Eighth Rank Horror Wolves could all be considered nourishment for it!

The Demon Tree Warrior’s strength was three levels higher than the Eighth rank advanced stage Horror Wolves. One group attack skill was enough to sweep through numerous Horror Wolves. With three consecutive attacks, it could kill a group of them, and each dead Horror Wolf would become a life infusion for the Demon Tree Warrior. Even under the crazy attacks of the Ninth Rank Horror Wolves, it could still hold on.

Using the Ghost Dome King’s defense skills and vitality as collateral, after the Demon Tree Warrior killed only the Eighth Rank Horror Wolves, its vitality quickly recovered to 70%.

At the 23rd minute, with the protection of the Ghost Dome King, the Demon Tree Warrior finally recovered all its vitality, and by this time, the poison the Demon Tree Warrior laid out had an evident effect!

The Poison Seedling skill was life-corroding poison, which would gradually erode the life force of creatures over time. In these three minutes, almost all the Horror Wolves were infected by the poison, causing their life force to decrease.

Initially, everyone thought that Chu Mu would be unable to endure past the 22nd minute because a wave of attacks would undoubtedly kill the Demon Tree Warrior. Although the Ghost Dome King had high defense, facing hundreds of wolves alone, even if their attacks had difficulty breaking through the defense of the Demon Tree Warrior, the continuous attacks could still tear the Ghost Dome King to shreds.

However, in the 23rd minute, the Demon Tree Warrior still stood firm under the protection of the Ghost Dome King’s rock mountain, getting stronger the more it fought!

The Ghost Dome King was subject to a series of attacks, its body visibly injured. However, with its level of defense, holding on for more time would not be an issue at all.

“I almost forgot, our leader’s Demon Tree Warrior has an extremely abnormal Life Siphon skill, and the siphoning speed is several times faster than Blood Siphon. During the battle between Shen Yicheng’s Devilish Vines and the Demon Tree Warrior, Shen Yicheng’s Devilish Vines almost got driven to the verge of collapse by this undying Demon Tree Warrior. Every time the Demon Tree Warrior was severely injured, it attacked the weaker surrounding Soul Pets to siphon their life force, quickly recovering its vitality,” Zhao Cheng smacked his forehead and said with an understanding look.

“With the Ghost Dome King’s absolute defense, even if it faced a Tenth Rank Commander, it could hold on for a considerable amount of time. This wave of Horror Wolves is ferocious, but it takes time to kill a defensive freak like the Ghost Dome King. If nothing unexpected happens, Chu Chen should be able to hold on for 25 minutes. Speaking of which, now I understand why Palace Master Yu wanted him to be our leader,” Shang Heng said slowly.

“How so?” Zhao Cheng was also getting more and more curious about their leader.

“As you can see, an Ice-Feathered Spirit has been restraining the Flame Bird from beginning to end. Even if they both have an attribute counter, there is still a level of disparity in strength between them. If an ordinary Soul Pet Master controlled it, it would almost certainly have been defeated within 5 minutes. But he has delayed for more than ten minutes, even up until now, he kept the Flame Bird’s attention on it, not affecting the battle between the Demon Tree Warrior and the Ghost Dome King. As you know, the fighting beasts here do not attack each other, so achieving such restraint under these circumstances can only mean that his control of the Ice-Feathered Spirit and his grasp of the battle situation has reached an extremely skilled level. This is an ability that can only be displayed by a Soul Pet Master who frequently battles and often challenges higher ranks,” Shang Heng said.

Zhao Cheng, being the second-tier expert of Soul Hall, naturally understood this well, but after Shang Heng’s emphasis, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of astonishment. In fact, if he had to control an Eighth Rank, Ninth Stage soul pet to contend with a Tenth Rank Flame Bird, he admits that he wouldn’t be able to completely restrain it and do so for so long.

“Look at the Horror Wolf pack again. Chu Chen moves between the two soul pets, have you noticed that the Horror Wolves haven’t attacked him?” Shang Heng opened his mouth to say.

Shang Heng’s words made Zhao Cheng, Ting Lan, Zhan Hong and the surrounding young Soul Hall members all stunned.

Everyone had been paying attention to the battle of the soul pets, but they had unconsciously forgotten the presence of Chu Mu, the Soul Pet Master!

The terrifying part of Beast Fighting is not only having to face wild and ferocious creatures, but also the ease with which a Soul Pet Master can be killed. Almost every Beast Fighter needs very experienced fighting tactics to avoid being ripped apart by these creatures.

However, during the course of watching this Beast Fighting Honor Challenge, people had unconsciously completely ignored the existence of Chu Mu as a Soul Pet Master. It seemed that no one had realized that this young soul pet master could be attacked by the Horror Wolves?

“How… How is this possible? Why didn’t I notice this before?” Ting Lan, standing beside them, opened her delicate little mouth in surprise.

Ting Lan recalled the situation when she and Chu Mu had faced the Desert Mad Edge Scorpion Army in the Rear Desert Area. At that time, Chu Mu seemed to be nonexistent in the battlefield. If not for Shang Heng pointing it out, she wouldn’t have realized this.

“This is a temperament developed through long-term wilderness training. He can completely conceal his own aura. It’s like a life without any aura among a group of fierce creatures. If the Horror Wolves can’t perceive his threat, they will naturally be attracted to his Ghost Dome King and Demon Tree Warrior. In this way, the possibility of him being attacked is very low. Even if he is targeted by the Horror Wolves, he always knows how to cleverly avoid them. It can be said that this ability is what every wild-trained soul pet master pursues. Chu Chen’s being able to do this proves that he has had a long period of wilderness experience and has often faced group attacks from soul pet groups like the Horror Wolves…” Shang Heng analyzed.

If Shang Heng hadn’t pointed it out, everyone would have just felt that there was something strange about this battle. After Shang Heng’s analysis, everyone’s faces showed a look of horror.

A normal person would have been scared out of their wits and haunted for a long time after encountering such a horror wolf pack attack just once, but this young man in his twenties had often faced such group attacks!!

This meant that this bizarre third wave of honor challenges, which everyone called abnormal, was already familiar to this young man!
