Not just that, in the middle of Mo Xie's step, as he's a hundred meters away from the two pointed sword mountain, he stopped, the miasma's color changed from gooey green to dark purple: "This is a deadly miasma this time, a level higher even to potent poisons!"
Mo Xie immediately took a few steps back: "If I have poison resistance, then, It will be easy, but..."
The thickness of the miasma grew direr: "This is the end then." As he spoke, he took a few steps back.
But then, the ground shook, like a ma.s.sive earthquake.
Mo Xie didn't feel quite right about it, he immediately dashed back.
"Beast core!" Mo Xie used his beast core immediately, the characteristics of the Spectral Fiend Liger showed all over his body, he simultaneously used his osmium dragon wing too.
Since the ground is vibrating, the best possible way to travel is by air, he soared higher as fast he could, and what Mo Xie didn't expect appeared in front of his eyes.
As he reached above the trees, he saw that the whole forest... is moving!
Its direction is also at the place he was retreating. Since it's like that, Mo Xie flew further up, if he did, the miasma would definitely not be a barrier for him, although the miasma is scattered widely within the forest, there should be one point where it couldn't reach the sky, that is the place Mo Xie is searching for.
But for some unknown reason, he didn't even detect it as a sharp object the size of ten tree logs put together was about to strike his left side.
"Spectral Wall! Flame Regalia, Aegis!" Mo Xie used two of his defensive skills immediately.
But the sharp object didn't get stopped by his s.h.i.+elds, instead, it was immediately pierced through.
Mo Xie grabbed the body and left his body to the momentum, it came to the ground, a strike in the position of an arch, dragging him back down on the ground.
Mo Xie used his Osmium Dragon wings to hit the sharp object's body, but he was of no effect at all.
He was sent continuously down the ground.
Bang!
The sharp object pierced the ground completely, but there's not a Mo Xie impaled on the ground, he's currently standing on the highest point of the sharp object, and what Mo Xie first spoke is: "A leg?"
If it really is a leg, then, it's a heck of a long one! It should be at least a hundred meters long!
Mo Xie looked at the place of its origin, saw a s.h.i.+ning purple sh.e.l.l looking object, his eyes widened before a frown appeared on his face: "A poisoned fanged centipede?" Mo Xie couldn't help but ask, clearly, even with his physique, the tip of the leg could've pierced his body.
He managed to dodge through the help of the Shadow Emperor's steps: "What the heck is this, why is this thing appearing now all of a sudden."
He could feel it, the power of a Celestial Phenomenon ranked Demonic Beast, same with the Osmium Jade Dragon, but there's a ma.s.sive difference between the two.
Spiritual Energy-wise, if one was to compare it to cotton, the Osmium Jade Dragon is comparable to a mountain's worth, but it's all loose and it can easily be plucked by others, but this one, it's like five times the amount of that, then, you pour liquid on it, then, roll it into a hard solid ball.
Not just the mere solidified person of Spiritual Energy, but the sheer power of it can be felt, a hundred times stronger than the Osmium Jade dragon, the two just can't be compared.
Also, there are faint signs of divine energy within the Poison Fanged Centipede: "It' close to breaking to Divinity..."
Mo Xie couldn't help but frown, he's not yet ready to face one, but that doesn't mean he does not have any means to contend against it.
"Well, since you want me to stay, I'll humor you."
Mo Xie grabbed into the air, a spear appeared on his hand as it became wrapped with spear energy, he immediately descends, a full-speed maneuver aimed directly at the gap between its sh.e.l.ls, but then, another leg appeared to block it.
Tzzz~!
A crisp sound echoes, the spear couldn't penetrate the legs: "It's too tough, even tougher than the Sugandium's skin, about a thousand times."
For some reason, Mo Xie couldn't help but compare it to that useless b.u.m, although both are Celestial Phenomenon rank, the gap is just too wide to be reached.
Mo Xie thought that it was a single centipede, but as he flew away, he noticed two heads: "So it's a happy husband and wife."
Mo Xie scanned around, there are at least two bodies, about a fifty kilometers long and fifty meters wide, simultaneously, the two Poison Fanged Centipede's head protrudes up, glaring at Mo Xie down the ground.
But he's looking for something: "Where are your children?"
Mostly, a single family of centipedes produces thousands and thousands of offsprings, but that's on normal ones, the Poison Fanged Centipedes are different, only a quarter of their offsprings live, sometimes, even only a tenth will be left after it.
1st stage, when all of them had gone out of their eggs, they will enter something, a ritual of the Poison Fanged Centipedes, they will need to kill one of their siblings in order to get stronger, sometimes, there's much lesser than half who'll remain, some of the more intelligent ones wait for others to be worn out, after a battle, they can't rest, they need to defend their price, they can still be aimed at by those that had not killed one yet, it will repeatedly occur until all of the surviving centipedes had killed at least one.
A mother Poison Fanged Centipede can only give birth once every hundred years, well, that's on cases where the mother is below Immortal Paragon ranked, but if the mother is a Celestial Phenomenon rank, it will only give birth once every thousand of years.
One has to take note, a demonic beast reaching Celestial Phenomenon rank will have had lived at least more than a hundred thousand years, or even more.
If such is the case, where are the uncountable numbers of Poison Fanged Centipedes?
Mo Xie couldn't detect any other beasts, but the strange part is, he still couldn't detect the two Poison Fanged Centipedes, it's like they are hiding their presence even though they are right in front of his eyes.
This is something Mo Xie felt quite dangerous about, because, he could only feel them when they are attacking.
So far, each of them had only used one leg both, one to attack and one to defend, and they have more than five hundred legs each.
It would be great if Mo Xie has nothing to do, but he's running out of time, dealing with two extremely powerful Celestial Phenomenon ranked demonic beasts are like dealing with a planet itself when you're trying to dig its core.
Mo Xie sighed: "If the two of you appeared within the forest, we could've had a great time, sadly, I'm not in the mood to play with you two."
If there's no treasure here other than barbaric demonic beasts, Mo Xie wants to leave: "Well, bye."
As Mo Xie spoke, he flew away from the ground back into the sky, but again...
The ground started to shook, it started to move on the path where Mo Xie is heading too.
"What the heck!?" Mo Xie couldn't help but curse as he glared at the centipede, it was merely looking at him like they are saying, can you even escape?
Mo Xie frowns, he then felt something approaching again, he looked back and saw another claw coming, he thought it was the two centipede's rear legs, but then, he saw another face.
"Three..." He sighed, he melds within the shadows of the centipede's legs and evaded quite successfully.
Mo Xie looked at the three centipedes: "Well, this is an affair I guess."
