DreamersGN Chapter 447: A Prodigy More Incredible Than Gu Yuexi? Who Could He Be?
Chapter 447: A Prodigy More Incredible Than Gu Yuexi? Who Could He Be?
Chu Sheng cursed inwardly.
But he didn’t panic.
Since a physical escape was impossible, he’d try a magical one.
Boundless Wings, Instant Teleportation!
WHOOSH!
Chu Sheng’s figure vanished from the center of the spiderweb.
The next second, he reappeared five hundred meters away, having escaped the black area.
"BZZZ (Trying to trap Lord Mosquito? In your dreams.)"
Chu Sheng was just about to breathe a sigh of relief and beat a hasty retreat.
But then, something shocking happened.
The very moment he landed after teleporting, an incredibly bizarre pulling force suddenly tugged at his body.
He whipped his head down and saw that strands of spider silk were still attached to him. The other end of the silk was firmly anchored within that black web Power.
SWOOSH!
Chu Sheng had no control over his body at all.
Like a yo-yo being yanked back, he was forcefully dragged by that power, flying backward!
WHOOSH!
The scenery flew past in reverse.
He was back in the center of the black spiderweb!
This time, the spider silk wrapped around him even tighter, practically cocooning him like a mummy.
’What the hell?!’
This time, Chu Sheng was truly shocked.
’What kind of demonic Skill is this?’
’It can pull me back even after I use Instant Teleportation?’
’This is a total counter to Spatial Abilities!’
"HISSS..."
A hair-raising scraping sound echoed from the depths of the darkness.
A massive, spider-like Fierce Beast with eight spear-like legs and a body as black as ink was unhurriedly crawling toward him along the silk strands.
Its abdomen bore the pattern of a deathly-pale human face, and its eight compound eyes gleamed with a cruel and greedy green light.
Another Monarch Level!
A Monarch Level Outer Realm Fierce Beast!
’The Alien Race has abilities like Beast Tamers. There must be a member of the Alien Race nearby!’
Chu Sheng tried to summon his Flame Burst Feather Blades to cut the silk.
But it was useless.
Even a Flame Burst Feather Blade, formed from the fusion of 200 Feather Blades, couldn’t destroy the silk in this Power.
’...This is trouble.’
’I just used the Mortal Realm, and my Mental Power hasn’t fully recovered. I can’t use it a second time so soon.’
’And Instant Teleportation is countered.’
Meanwhile, the spider on the web let out a grating hiss as it slowly crawled closer.
’Damn it.’
’Looks like I have no choice but to use that move?’
’Yes, that move!’
Just as Chu Sheng was preparing to wait for the spider Fierce Beast to get closer before playing his trump card...
SHIING!
An extremely faint sound, like cloth being torn, echoed.
A slender figure, without any warning, had actually entered the web Power on their own!
He was incredibly fast, like a gray Ghost, weaving through the dense spider silk without touching a single strand.
In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Chu Sheng.
A cold glint flashed.
The man held a pitch-black, non-reflective dagger, and with a light slash, he cut the silk binding Chu Sheng.
The tough silk, which even the Flame Burst Feather Blade couldn’t sever, was as fragile as tofu before this dagger, snapping instantly!
Chu Sheng felt his body lighten as the restraints were released.
"SKREEE?!"
The spider from the Alien Race was stunned.
It clearly hadn’t expected someone to be able to break into its Power, let alone cut its silk.
It let out an enraged roar, its eight long legs pushing off forcefully as it charged forward like a heavy tank, its two venomous forelegs stabbing viciously toward the intruder.
The figure remained unhurried, not even turning his head.
He held the dagger in a reverse grip and carved a strange arc through the air.
CLANG!
It was just a small dagger, yet it had actually blocked the enormous claw.
A huge force rebounded, and the figure used the momentum to drift backward, landing right next to Chu Sheng.
"Divine Mosquito, we meet again."
A voice, somewhat young but carrying a calmness that belied its age, spoke.
Chu Sheng turned his head to look.
It was a young man who looked to be in his early twenties.
He wore a very ordinary Combat Suit, which was even a little worn out.
His looks were also ordinary; the kind you wouldn’t be able to pick out of a crowd.
But his eyes were frighteningly bright, revealing an indifference that had seen past life and death.
Chu Sheng recognized those eyes.
The first time he came to the Northern Domain to collect corpses, he had met the gaze of this person.
"HISSS!!"
Seeing its attack miss, the spider of the Alien Race grew even more furious.
The surrounding black spider silk began to writhe madly, as if alive, surging toward the two of them like a tidal wave.
This time it was truly desperate, intending to crush both these little bugs together.
"This isn’t the place to talk."
The young man glanced at the surging silk and said calmly,
"Your Spatial Ability is countered by this Power, but I’ve severed the mark on you. You can leave now."
"Take me with you."
Chu Sheng didn’t hesitate.
’Since this kid saved me, he’s an ally.’
’Besides, this big spider is a real pain. Chu Sheng didn’t have time to waste on it.’
"BZZZ (Hold on tight!)"
Chu Sheng reached out a leg and grabbed the young man’s shoulder.
Boundless Wings, activate!
WHOOSH!
The instant before the overwhelming web of silk could engulf them, Space distorted.
The two of them vanished into thin air.
Only the spider of the Alien Race was left in the empty Power, letting out a furious and unwilling roar.
...
Northern Domain, the fifth line of defense.
It was also the final line of defense—Beitian Pass.
This place was several thousand kilometers from the front lines. Although it hadn’t yet been overrun by the Alien Race’s army, the air was already thick with a sense of despair.
On the distant horizon, a black tide of the Alien Race was slowly approaching.
WHOOSH.
In the air above the city wall, a spatial fluctuation flashed.
Chu Sheng and the young man’s figures appeared out of thin air.
Chu Sheng released his leg, hovered in the air, and studied the young man.
"BZZZ (Not bad. That knife of yours is interesting.)"
Chu Sheng gestured toward the black dagger in the young man’s hand.
’To be able to cut the Power’s silk that even he couldn’t break, that thing was definitely no ordinary item.’
The young man put away his dagger, his expression unchanged by Chu Sheng’s praise.
Besides, he couldn’t understand him anyway.
He looked at Chu Sheng and said flatly,
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Lin Dong."
"I was also a student at Jing University. I guess you could call me your master’s... senior."
’Lin Dong?’
Chu Sheng thought for a moment. He seemed to recall hearing that name before. The top of Jing University’s Celestial Pride List?
"I came looking for you."
Lin Dong got straight to the point, wasting no words.
"I’m here to discuss a business deal."
’A business deal?’
Chu Sheng’s interest was piqued.
’At a time like this, when the entire Northern Domain is about to fall, this kid is in the mood to talk business?’
"BZZZ (Let’s hear it. Lord Mosquito’s appearance fee is very high, you know.)"
Lin Dong pointed at Chu Sheng, then at the distant battlefield.
"I’ve been watching you. Don’t worry, I don’t mean to pry into your secrets. Everyone has secrets, myself included."
"I’ve noticed that you have a peculiar... fixation on the corpses of the Alien Race, especially the powerful ones."
"Although I don’t know what you do with those corpses, I’d guess it’s very important for increasing your strength."
’This kid is pretty sharp,’ Chu Sheng thought.
Chu Sheng didn’t deny it, merely vibrating his wings as a signal for him to continue.
Lin Dong reached into his clothes, fumbled for a moment, and pulled out a simple, gray ring.
With a casual toss, he threw it to Chu Sheng.
"Take a look at this. I think you’ll be interested."
Chu Sheng extended a leg to catch the ring.
He sent his Mental Power into it.
The next second.
’Holy crap!’
The Space inside the ring was immense, and floating densely within were countless Small Jade Bottles.
Inside every Jade Bottle was a single drop of vibrant red Essence Blood, emanating terrifying waves of Energy!
This was all... Essence Blood from the Alien Race or Outer Realm Fierce Beasts!
And... there were at least ten thousand drops!
Furthermore, judging by the aura, the weakest were at least War General Level! There were quite a few at the Lord Level too!
There was even... Essence Blood from Emperor Realm members of the Alien Race!
’This kid... he’s actually killed this many of the Alien Race? He’s even killed several at the Emperor Realm?’
’Something’s not right, is it?’
’This kid is only in his twenties? And he can already kill those at the Emperor Realm?’
’Doesn’t that make him potentially even more badass than Gu Yuexi?!’
’And Gu Yuexi is a reborn Empress!’
’This guy is definitely not normal!’
