Multitalented Witch

Chapter 341: The Vortex that Saved the Soul

A huge splash of extremely thick mud flowed from the sky, turning Zhang Xiaohou and Mo Fan into mud humans instantly.

Zhang Xiaohou needed some effort to clean himself up, and now, he turned into a mud monkey again.{ Note: Xiaohou can also mean little monkey}

Mo Fan was in a better place, not because he was not splashed with mud, but he was a bit dirty to begin with, so an additional layer of mud did not really make a difference.

“Sister! brother Fan! what should we do now?” Zhang Xiaohou who finally met Mo Fan, managed to make a distance from the Giant Poisonous Centipede. However, that distance was immediately cut off as the two monsters flanked them from both directions.

Zhang Xiaohou could feel his stomach churning, seeing two gigantic monsters charging towards them.

He thought he finally had a chance to slaughter some demonic beasts after becoming an Intermediate-ranked Mage. However, he was still very small standing in front of this Commander-level demonic beast.

"I don't think I have a choice!" Mo Fan stared at the muddy swamp. All he could see was a wave of mud hitting them.

Clenching his teeth, he could imagine his fangs extending longer and his pupils changing color.

In fact, Mo Fan did not want to use the power of the Demon Element, because every time it was used, he sold more of his soul. He did not even know if he was still alive after using it this time!

Every time he used his strength, he had to survive four Soul Breakdowns; all his previous efforts would be in vain!

The Giant Poisonous Centipede floated above the mud and wriggled swiftly in an S shape like a water snake. Each time it let out a roar, a large lump of mud would descend from the sky, followed by a disgusting breath of air.

If not for the missing limbs in the second half of his body blocking his balance, it would have caught up with Zhang Xiaohou easily!

The centipede had large jaws on either side of its mouth, looking like two steel blades. They clank loudly as they swam across the swamp. He couldn't wait to tear apart the person who stepped on his tail into pieces!

The centipede screamed nonstop. It turned out that his old enemy, the Xuanwu Giant Lizard, was a great threat to him, so he did not dare to directly attack his prey.

Likewise, the Xuanwu Giant Lizard also did not expect it to hit a centipede. His lantern-sized eyes stared at the extremely poisonous demonic beast. His cave-sized mouth shouted at the Giant Poisonous Centipede as a warning.

The roar of the deafening demonic beast!

However, the hesitation of the two beasts somehow made Zhang Xiaohou and Mo Fan, who were stuck between them, some time.

That being said, the two Commander-level demon beasts were not stupid either. They quickly reached an agreement among themselves. To show their savagery, they would first tear the damned humans to pieces first!

"Open, Brother Fan, it's coming!" Just in time, Zhang Xiaohou shouted as a savior vortex finally appeared in the swamp.

Mo Fan had seen it as well. He immediately stopped himself from activating the Demon Element.

He grabbed Zhang Xiaohou and used the mountain shadow from the setting sun to cast Fleeing Shadow!

A giant claw was swept away; the Xuanwu Giant Lizard had launched its attack. The power of a slap alone was enough to destroy a small hill, let alone two Magicians!

Both were thrown into the air. It felt like their bones would be shattered at any moment now …

Fortunately, they happened to be thrown into a vortex. If they flew in the other direction, they would definitely be killed by any simple attack from the Xuanwu Giant Lizard or the Giant Poisonous Centipede.

Falling from the air, Mo Fan quickly grabbed Zhang Xiaohou tightly and dove straight into the vortex.

......................

The layers of rock beneath the swamp had collapsed. Thick mud was sucked into the underground river with strong currents.

As the bottom part opened, the surface of the swamp water began to sink rapidly. It started from a small whirlpool with a diameter of several meters, but it soon ran out as its opening expanded !

The surface of the black swamp was peaceful just a moment ago, quiet enough to reflect the night sky, but now it was filled with rumbling waves and rain of mud pouring into the huge hole.

The two giant creatures stood in the swamp. Rolling waves seem to have little effect on them. They continued to roar at each other in the midst of the stalemate, completely ignoring the whirlpools that appeared!

The water gradually grows larger. Its diameter had reached twenty meters!

From the animal's point of view, the whirlpool was not as small as before. The nearby mud flowed into the hole at an insane speed, trying to fill the empty space.

Mo Fan and Zhang Xiaohou had already jumped into the vortex. The flow dragged them further, and they soon found themselves right in the middle of the vortex!

The two creatures pounced on the vortex as they watched the humans being dragged by the current.

Due to their enormous size, as they lunged in the same direction, they both mistakenly assumed that the others were trying to attack them. Because of this, the Giant Poisonous Centipede responded by banging its head into the Xuanwu Giant Lizard, while the one then raised its front legs and pressed its weight onto the centipede's body!

The Xuanwu Giant Lizard lifted half its body into the air before slamming it down violently. The devastating collision eventually caused a tsunami wave, starting from the middle of the lake.

The Giant Lizards on the edge of the swamp were no longer in the mood to enjoy their peaceful rest. The mud tsunami had driven them to a distant place, leaving a great mess in the trees, the ground, and the foot of the mountain.

......................

Under the swamp, a huge force surged from the surface of the water, instantly destroying the vortex.

Fortunately, Mo Fan and Zhang Xiaohou were already on the water pillar that flowed into the underground river. If not for the cushioning from the mud and water, that force would have blown a larger hole under the swamp. The entire swamp would collapse, and there was no way they could survive!

Li Man had already moved away from the hole before the explosion. His ears were deaf by the echoes as the waterfall flowed profusely with an unrelenting roar.

The mud that splashed from the water pillar was so strong that it could even shatter the rocks to pieces.

Layers of stones were punctured, and whirlpools were made according to plan. However, it would be a great surprise if the two men who were dragged by the current would feel very good after their trip !
