Chapter 381 - Relay Lure, Temporarily Safe

“Roar!”

A furious roar was suddenly heard within the Tias Mountain Range, causing the entire ground to tremble.

The Zerg looked at Ebenezer, who had suddenly appeared before its eyes, and displayed incomparable anger. The Zerg was a life form that was born in ancient times. Although it was unable to grasp their current language, it was still a level 60 creature. Therefore, it possessed extraordinary intelligence.

Its target that had escaped earlier had returned. This made the Zerg feel like the other party was provoking and humiliating him, which was why it was so angry.

Ebenezer noticed that the Zerg only stood on the spot and roared angrily but did not rush up to attack him. For a moment, he was unable to determine if the other party would chase after him if he turned around and left. Therefore, he could only wait on the spot, feeling perturbed, as he looked at the Zerg.

The Zerg looked at Ebenezer, who was in a stalemate with it. It slowly raised its tail that had been hanging on the ground. A grayish-brown unknown object instantly shot out from its tail.

Ebenezer looked at the unknown object that flew straight into the air. Even if it fell, it would not hit him, so he did not move his body. He only looked at the unknown object in the sky curiously.

When the unknown object flew above Ebenezer, it instantly spread out and formed a huge spiderweb. There was grayish-brown mucus on it, and it looked very disgusting.

Ebenezer was shocked when he saw the object spread open and turned into a spiderweb. It was heading straight toward him.

At that time, the spiderweb had almost sealed off the space where Ebenezer could dodge. He was going to be trapped under the spiderweb.

Ebenezer was always on guard against the grayish-brown liquid on the spiderweb, so he did not dare to come into contact with it. He could only crouch down and press his hand on the ground.

“Modify and open the door!”

An invisible door instantly appeared on the grass, and Ebenezer’s figure sank into the ground. He soon disappeared into nothingness.

The spiderweb fell onto the ground at the same time that Ebenezer escaped. The moment the grayish-brown liquid touched the grass below, it suddenly evaporated into terrifying smoke, as if it was corroding the ground.

Then, the spiderweb disappeared into thin air. It was like it had sunk into the ground.

In the blink of an eye, another invisible door appeared on the ground far away from the Zerg. Ebenezer rushed out from the door and rolled on the ground. It looked like he was trying to hide from something terrifying.

“Bang!”

Immediately after Ebenezer appeared, a gray-colored spiderweb emerged from the ground like a fountain. It flew into the air and landed on the ground.

As Ebenezer was fast, he successfully escaped the spiderweb. However, he still looked at the spiderweb that continued to emit white mist with lingering fear.

“Everyone be careful! The mucus on the web can corrode the space tunnel. If you want to use the modification authority to dodge, you must be careful of the spiderweb! It can follow you into the space tunnel!” shouted Ebenezer in all directions.

He was reminding Avril and Angelina who were hiding in the dark.

After seeing Ebenezer getting further and further away from it, the Zerg let out an angry roar again. It then charged straight toward Ebenezer.

The Zerg’s six incomparably thick spider legs moved swiftly. It soon closed the distance between it and Ebenezer.

When Ebenezer saw that the Zerg had finally launched an attack on him, he turned around and ran into the depths of the Tias Mountain Range without saying a word.

At the same time, in order to guard against the spiderwebs and venom that the Zerg would throw out from time to time, Ebenezer would make an emergency change of direction after running a certain distance. He led the Zerg and ran toward the location that Vincent had specified.

Although the Zerg was a level 60 creature, it was not as well-trained as the other races. However, its strength was clearly reflected in its various attributes.

It had sharp claws, strong shells, the venom that could corrode psionic energy, and spiderwebs that could melt space. These were all the powerful abilities that the Zerg was born with.

Apart from that, the Zerg also possessed extremely powerful strength. It could be said that it was a very comprehensive life form. Whether in terms of offense or defense, it had achieved near-perfect evolution.

At that moment, the Zerg saw that Ebenezer was running further and further away. Suddenly, the Zerg stopped and bent its six spider legs. It then pushed itself upwards and shot toward the sky like a cannonball. It fell from the sky in the direction where Ebenezer had escaped.

Although Ebenezer had changed his directions a few times along the way, he was still running toward the depths of the mountain range. He was still heading to the same destination. Therefore, he wanted the Zerg to get close to him so that he could use more methods to disrupt and restrain it at a close distance!

Ebenezer heard the sound of the wind behind him and thought that the venom of the Zerg had reached him. He turned around and continued running toward the depths of the mountain range. However, he suddenly discovered that a large shadow had appeared under his feet. It was as if something had descended from the sky, and it was getting closer and closer to him!

When Ebenezer subconsciously turned his head to look at the sky, he was shocked to see that the gigantic body of the Zerg was heading toward him. However, it was already too late for him to make an effective escape!

“Be careful!”

At that moment, Angelina’s petite body rushed out from the forest at a rapid speed.

However, she did not go to save Ebenezer who was still in a daze. Instead, she charged straight toward the Zerg who was in the air.

This was because Angelina had only appeared after she had seen what had happened. The Zerg could not effectively control its body while flying in the air. Therefore, it gave Angelina an opportunity to charge toward its unguarded abdomen.

When Angelina’s delicate hands touched the Zerg’s abdomen, she immediately shouted, “Absorb!”

A grayish-blue aura immediately spread out from Angelina’s hands. She then began to extract the innate ability of the Zerg.

Previously, the abilities Angelina had extracted were the abilities of other cultivators or the special abilities of some Black Hole monsters. However, the abilities that the Zerg had were all achieved by relying on its unique body. Therefore, Angelina was very nervous because she did not know what kind of abilities she would extract from the Zerg.

All of a sudden, Angelina felt that her entire body was filled with power. At the same time, her heart was filled with a desire to kill. She wanted to be brutal in her killings. In an instant, she understood that she had extracted the terrifying power of the Zerg. She also discovered that the origin of the Zerg’s power was not due to the structure of its body, but rather, it was due to its brutal, ruthless desires and bestial nature.

Angelina felt like she might turn into a madman who had the desire to kill if she did not release the power of the Zerg. She could feel the Zerg’s desires invading her mind.

After thinking about it, Angelina’s entire body suddenly turned illusory and grayish-blue. Her Netherspirit body was activated in an instant. She achieved the effect of perfect control in the air. Then, with the powerful power she obtained, she used all of her strength to push the Zerg out.

The Zerg’s falling body stopped in the air. It was repelled by a tremendous force, and its abdomen fell toward the ground.

Ebenezer, who was almost smashed to death by the Zerg, took the opportunity to quickly rush into the dense forest that was in front of him. He soon disappeared into nothingness.

After the Zerg fell heavily to the ground, it started to spin like crazy. It used a lot of effort to stand up again. Its eight eyes stared at Angelina who was in the air. They were brewing with killing intent.

After seeing this, Angelina knew that she had successfully attracted the attention of the Zerg. At the same time, the powerful energy that she had absorbed had not been completely exhausted. Thus, she deactivated her flying state and landed in front of the Zerg. She then continued to run toward the depths of the mountain range.

“Roar!”

The Zerg let out an extremely fierce roar and chased after Angelina. It was almost losing all its rationality.

Just like Ebenezer, Angelina was running back and forth into the depths of the mountain range. At the same time, she relied on the power of the Zerg that she had absorbed to run far ahead of the Zerg. There was no need for her to worry that it would jump again!

This was because the Zerg’s flying distance would not exceed the distance that Angelina had run!

The Zerg was becoming more and more frenzied. It used its two sharp claws to chop down the surrounding trees and soon discovered its incompetence.

When the two giant rocks that Vincent had prepared appeared in Angelina’s field of vision, her originally fast-moving body suddenly stopped. This was because the Zerg abilities that she had absorbed had been completely used up. She no longer had the same astonishing speed as before!

When the Zerg discovered that Angelina’s speed had decreased, it immediately increased its speed, closing the distance between it and Angelina in the blink of an eye.

Angelina heard heavy objects rolling toward her from behind. However, she did not hesitate and continued to advance toward the mountain range.

When the Zerg closed the distance between it and Angelina by half, it once again jumped into the air and shot toward Angelina!

However, this time the Zerg was smarter. It did not choose to directly smash toward the direction where Angelina had escaped. Instead, it fell behind Angelina accurately. When it landed, it only needed to shoot out a spiderweb to trap Angelina firmly!

Unfortunately, the Zerg’s little plan did not materialize. This was because, when it was about to land, a mace that was nearly 10 meters long suddenly flew out from the forest at the side and struck the Zerg’s body.

The Zerg’s only weakness at this time was that it was unable to maintain its balance in the air. After being hit by the mace, it could only roll twice in the air like a top before falling heavily to the ground.

When the Zerg stood up again, Angelina had already disappeared into thin air. Instead, a two-meter-tall figure appeared with a huge, spiked mace in her hand. Her entire body was emitting golden light.

Avril stood in the distance and beckoned the Zerg with her finger. She shouted in a provocative manner, “Hey, it’s my turn!”

The Zerg instantly felt her provocation. It used its six legs to stomp on the ground fiercely. It brushed its body against the ground and flew forward at high speed, heading straight for Avril.

“Oh my God! Even its method of chasing can evolve. Looks like this Zerg’s intelligence isn’t low!” exclaimed Avril in surprise.

She then immediately turned around and ran away, leading the Zerg straight toward the entrance of the trap set up by Vincent.

With the support of her god of war body, Avril’s strength and speed had increased by leaps and bounds. Thus, her control and attraction toward the Zerg were the most perfect. There was no need to design any roundabout route. She just needed to rely on her speed to maintain a safe distance from the Zerg.

However, the Zerg kept evolving its method of pursuit whenever it got angry. Every time its six legs stomped on the ground, it would close the distance between itself and Avril. Its speed was comparable to teleportation, and Avril was completely unable to counteract it!

Therefore, Avril could only use the initial advantage that she had gotten earlier and use all of her strength to rush toward the giant rock entrance.

However, Avril still underestimated the speed of the Zerg in the end. When she was only five hundred meters away from the entrance of the giant rock where Vincent was hiding, the Zerg had already rushed up behind her. It raised its two claws high up and fiercely slashed toward Avril.

Faced with this sudden attack, Avril wanted to use the modification authority to temporarily avoid the claws behind her. Unexpectedly, a green light suddenly descended from the sky. Horace’s figure instantly appeared in front of Avril. He raised his hand to grab Avril’s arm and threw her into the forest on the side.

“Leave the rest to me!” shouted Horace. His entire body turned into a green light once again.

When the Zerg’s claws landed, they only struck the green light in front of it. The light dissipated into nothingness, while the other part turned into a stream of light and headed rapidly toward the direction of the giant rock.

This time, the Zerg did not continue to chase after the green light. Instead, it raised its head high and locked its eight eyes onto the giant rock entrance in front of it.

At that moment, Avril and the others who were hiding in the forest and observing the situation could not help but feel their hearts tighten. From the exchange earlier, it was not difficult for them to discover that the Zerg possessed the intelligence to discover traps.

If it discovered Vincent’s ambush, their operation would be foiled!

However, what everyone did not expect was that the Zerg did not turn around and leave. Instead, it raised its tail once again and shot out a grayish-white spiderweb.

It shot its spiderweb toward the entrance of the giant rock. It wanted to trap Horace between the rocks.

When everyone saw this, they suddenly had a realization. It turned out that Vincent was not the only one who thought that the narrow entrance between the two giant rocks would be the best place to ambush the opponent. Even the Zerg thought that the entrance was a very suitable place to set up its spiderweb!

“Pa!”

The grey-white spiderweb was the first to arrive. It landed accurately on the two giant rocks causing a burst of mist to rise. The two ends of the spiderweb sank into the rocks and did not leave any traces behind. The spiderweb seemed to have become part of the boulders.

The green light that was about to enter the back of the boulders instantly stopped. Horace revealed his figure with a blank expression. The spiderweb in front of him, which involved the power of space, had far exceeded his understanding. He did not know how to react for a moment.

At this moment, Horace could only choose to flee in another direction. With his speed, he could contend with the Zerg for more time. However, if he did that, it would bring Vincent’s plan into the greater unknown.

Horace turned his head and looked behind him. He realized that the Zerg was only one more sprint away from him. He steeled his heart, gripped the dagger in his hand tightly, and turned around to slash at the spiderweb.

Ebenezer, who was hiding in the forest, could not help but warn him, “Be careful!”

However, it was already too late. The dagger in Horace’s hand had already touched the gray-white mucus on the spiderweb.

In the next second, the dagger that met the spiderweb actually passed through the spiderweb without any obstruction. However, it was shattered into countless pieces by the space power. At the same time, the spiderweb produced a strong suction force; it was trying to attach itself to the remaining half of the dagger. The Zerg wanted to crash into the spiderweb together with Horace.

Horace was greatly shocked. He knew that if he were to crash into the spiderweb, he would definitely be shattered into countless pieces on the spot. However, no matter how hard he tried, he was unable to control his body and could only approach the spiderweb step by step.

At the same time, the Zerg behind Horace was prepared to charge. It was ready to attack regardless of whether Horace would be corroded into pieces by the mucus on the spiderweb.

At this critical moment, a ray of light suddenly lit up in the spiderweb. It was as if it had been slashed by an invisible sword. The spiderweb instantly split into two from the middle. It fell weakly to the ground, leaving a door for Horace to pass through.

Horace did not have the time to be surprised when he saw this. He flashed forward and disappeared behind the giant rock.

At this time, the Zerg had already begun to charge into the gap between the two giant rocks. At the same time, the eight eyes on his head were rapidly rotating, as if it wanted to locate Horace as soon as possible. Once found, it would then stab him a second and third time.

However, when the Zerg entered the gap between the two boulders, the one who appeared in front of him was not Horace, but Vincent, who had been waiting for it for a long time!

Vincent was holding a strangely shaped token in his hand. It was the key to the space tunnel that the Lingluo Race had used the modification authority to create. It was also the reason why Vincent was able to escape the capital of Ultimate Evil previously.

When Vincent saw the Zerg charging toward him, he gripped the token in his hand tightly and drew a line in the air. The moment the Zerg reached the space door, he instantly activated it. He was like a huge beast opening its bloody mouth to welcome the Zerg that was charging toward him.

The Zerg had already raised its two claws in the air. It was prepared to kill Vincent on the spot. However, at that moment, it could only wave its claws and draw a line through the void space. After that, it rolled into the space tunnel like a rubber ball.

“Withdraw!” shouted Vincent.

The space tunnel’s door closed tightly and the Zerg instantly disappeared.
