THE RISE OF THE DRAGON.
112. CHASED BY A WORM MONSTER.
Aihhh, Once again, I ran away.’ Ui Yong Jiang sighed, a little sad.
If anyone asks what he does most often in the trial ground, then the answer is definitely ‘escape’.
He had been chased so many times now that his physical speed had involuntarily increased by so much.
He was currently faster than his stage, it was without using any movement techniques or increasing his speed with elements, it was without using any movement techniques,
if he were to use one of them, then his speed would increase by a large margin,
he might even become faster than the four of them. Such speed was unheard of before!
Void looked at Ui Yong Jiang and he could only shake his head, finding their current situation very familiar.
“Should I say, you're pretty good at escaping.” He said mockingly.
‘You think?’ Ui Yong Jiang asked with a self-deprecating smile.
“I really have to go from here.” He thinks in his heart.
If he stayed here any longer, he was afraid that he would get into another situation that required him to run once more, and that was something he did not want to happen.
“Friends, run faster!” Ui Yong Jiang said as he gradually closed the gap between himself and the two.
Mei ling and Yong we who were previously more than three hundred meters away from him were now only fifty meters away from him, and from the look of how things were, that would not be the case.
“You ! What are you doing?” ask Mei ling.
“It's nice to meet you too buddy.” Ui Yong Jiang said with a smile while waving at him.
“What's chasing you?” Mei ling asked in a hurry.
He had sensed Ui Yong Jiang's stage and knew it would be difficult for anyone or any beast even at the Sixth stage to harm him.
But what he found strange was that he did not see anything behind Ui Yong Jiang,
anyone other than Ui Yong Jiang's serious expression when he told them to run, then he would have thought he was just playing around with them.
Ui Yong Jiang went on to describe the beast to the two.
“Have you ever seen a beast like this before, or even heard of it?” Ui Yong Jiang asked,
hoping to get information about the beast from one of the two since he knew nothing about it.
“No, it's the first time I've heard of worms with fins.” Said Mei ling looking back at the flippers seen on the moving bulge on the ground.
“Actually, I've heard of animals similar to this.” Yong We who had been silent spoke up.
“Ah, really?” Ui Yong Jiang and Mei ling turned their attention to Yong we simultaneously.
“Yes, said to be found only in the Southern Desert, rule the sand there. According to his description, though,
those found in the Southern Desert do not have fins like this.” Yong We told them what he knew about it.
Ui Yong Jiang and Mei ling fell silent, they also heard that there were many rare beasts that were only found in the Southern Desert. Unfortunately, it's a place they can't go to‘
Soon, Ui Yong Jiang caught up with the two, creating a good distance between them and the ferocious beasts that were chasing after them.
“So... What have you been doing lately?” Yong We asked after the three went silent for a few seconds.
“Not much, just, you know, running around. What about you guys?” Ui Yong Jiang glanced at the lump on the ground that was slowly shrinking, before turning his attention back to his companions.
Before he caught up with the duo, he had sensed the stage they were in and discovered that they were both at the Third stage of the Origin Plane, he had sensed the stage they were in,
with Mei ling's aura being the stronger of the two, that indicated that she would break through to the Fourth stage in the near future.
‘Since Yong we is at the Third stage, it means his Elemental Warrior will be at the Fifth stage now. Amazing!’ He cried out in his heart.
The faster one became a summoner, especially in the case of Elemental Warriors, the better.
Had Yong we been the summoner by the time he was on the Fusion Plane, then his Elemental Warrior would have been three stages ahead of him by now.
he doesn't really care. Not only that, but there's also a small chance that like Yong we, you know,
he might be able to become a summoner someday, though, the possibilities are slim.
“What I don't understand is why did you really decide to start stealing pants? And even from the women too.” Ui Yong Jiang looked at the two curiously.
“We were bored, so when we heard someone go around stealing pants, it sounded fun, so we decided to join as well.” Mei ling explained.
‘Ck, if only they knew why you started stealing pants.’ Void said with a laugh as he recalled the way Ui Yong Jiang walked after stealing the young man's pants from Starlight Academy.
Hearing Void, Ui Yong Jiang also remembered that day and he could not help but feel grateful that he had not met Mei ling and Yong we back then, either,
even Void was still mocking him about it, so it was easy to guess what Mei ling and Yong we were going to do.
While the three were talking about the trouser thief, Ui Yong Jiang suddenly heard the usual creaking sound heard on the ground as the beast sped away.
Inevitably he turned to the source of the voice and realized it was coming from their right, and he remembered the person chasing them was behind them.
“Friends, there's one more.” Ui Yong Jiang quickly gestured to the others about the arrival of the new beast.
“Oh shit! How could I forget that.” Yong We suddenly exclaimed.
“What?” Ui Yong Jiang and Mei ling asked simultaneously.
“Wherever there is one of these special animals, there must be more, many of them.” Yong we said with a serious expression.
The three were already over seven kilometers away from the rocky mountain and were currently within two kilometers of the forest that was in front of them.
But they soon began to see more mounds chasing them, with some faster than others. There were even two who attacked them from the front.
The explosion!
Ui Yong Jiang immediately slammed the ground mace two meters away on one of the mounds.
When the mace hit the ground, it sent shock waves to the ground that easily hit the creatures moving beneath it.
The creature was only about half a meter deep in the ground, and although its shockwave was unable to kill it, it had no problem injuring its soft body.
Seeing that it was effective, Ui Yong Jiang quickly did the same to the others who were in front of them, thus paving the way for the three to escape.
By the time they reached within a kilometer of the forest, there were already more than ten mounds behind them,
everything that appeared in front of them had been taken care of by Ui Yong Jiang, though, there was a time when one was approaching.
to them and out of the ground with his mouth wide open, trying to eat one of them.
But unfortunately for that, the only ones that entered his mouth were the large ice needles belonging to Mei ling and the lightning Yong we.
When the two attacks connected, the creature was burned by lightning from the inside out, but quickly cooled from Mei ling's ice needles, before turning into an ice sculpture.
Mei ling became even better at using the ‘Sub Zero’ ice technique that she had obtained from one of the fifty-four paths, now he can even sometimes make ice needles to freezing levels.
With the three working together, they were able to fend off the ferocious beasts while creeping ever closer to the forest.
Ui Yong Jiang originally planned to use mud to stop the monsters before killing them,
but then she recalled something, Mei ling and Yong we did not know she had the water element. Stuck in a dilemma, he quickly improvises.
‘Rather than making mud, I will try to make lava instead, it should not be too hard.’ He thinks.
“Once we get into the forest, keep your distance from me.” Ui Yong Jiang ordered as they were about to enter the forest.
‘You're also Void.’
Immediately after giving the order, they entered the forest, the others immediately made a small distance between them and Ui Yong Jiang.
“Fiuh... Nothing is.” Ui Yong Jiang sighed heavily as he channeled his fire essence into his feet, then onto the ground.
The others all watched him curiously, waiting to see the results of what he was about to do.
