Chapter 878: Chapter 583: The Origin of Li Pu
This time, what came out of the spatial gates were still Purgatory Skeletons and Kelp Death Beasts.
But they were clearly stronger than the ones before.
The Purgatory Skeletons walking out of the Black Abyss Gate were all wearing armor and holding weapons, though both the armor and weapons looked tattered and shabby.
The Kelp Death Beasts coming out of the blue sea gate had bodies that were comparatively less shriveled, and there were waves of Magic energy rippling off them.
"So after it gets stronger, the things it summons get stronger too, huh."
Master Jie Jie could feel that the aura of the cocoon’s new minions had also reached 1st Turn level.
[Kuku-da!] xN
[Awoo-da!] xN
Those big-headed skeleton soldiers and big-headed death beasts squeezed out of the gates one after another.
They first looked around blankly, but as soon as they saw the cocoon, they bowed to it in salute.
It was just that skeletons and death beasts weren’t exactly sturdy to begin with; some of them had their heads fall off mid-bow and had to hurry after them to pick them up.
They chased and chased, failed to catch them, and then just died on the spot.
By this time, dark clouds had already begun gathering in the sky of the barrier, and muffled thunder was brewing.
And in that short span, the skeleton and death beast army had already amassed to a number of twenty or thirty.
Rumble—
[All units, launch the attack...!]
The cocoon only issued a single order to this army.
It didn’t believe that it or its skeletons and death beasts could survive the lightning tribulation, nor did it think this small number alone could defeat the Battle Turtle.
But just like Bie San, it had its own way of borrowing the power of the barrier.
And that was to draw lightning.
[Kuku-da!] xN
[Awoo-da!] xN
So that batch of skeletons and death beasts went charging toward the Battle Turtle like mad.
Boom!
Just as they scrambled up onto the turtle’s back, the first bolt of heavenly thunder came crashing down.
The skeleton soldier that was struck didn’t even have time to squeak before it was blasted into dust on the spot.
At the same time, the spot on the turtle’s back where it stood was blasted into a crater.
Boom! xN
Then bolt after bolt of heavenly thunder fell, slaughtering all the skeletons and death beasts on the turtle’s back.
But their numbers were limited after all; the damage the drawn lightning dealt to the Battle Turtle was still far inferior to the earlier combined strike of Li Pu and Fufu.
[No! It’s still not enough!]
The cocoon certainly wasn’t satisfied with that; its skeletons and death beasts were still being summoned in an endless stream.
However, the time left to it simply wasn’t enough for it to contend with the Battle Turtle.
BOOOOM!!!
The biggest bolt of heavenly thunder had already descended upon its head.
A lightning pillar over five meters in diameter slammed down, blasting a charred pit into the ground.
Thud!
"What power!"
Master Jie Jie’s eyes bulged.
This barrier lightning punishment was terrifying; he figured that even if a 5th or 6th Turn magic beast were to take it head-on, it might get one-shot instantly.
Then he looked at the cocoon, and sure enough, it lived up to the legend of being unkillable.
After taking that lightning strike, it still landed intact at the bottom of the pit, though its halo and wings had vanished, turning into a white cocoon slightly smaller than before.
The cocoon threads on its surface were pristine white, as if it had shed and grown a new skin.
It now lay there motionless at the bottom of the pit, showing no sign of activity.
"This..."
Master Jie Jie looked at this scene, feeling conflicted.
Did this mean they’d technically completed their mission and temporarily suppressed the sealing object?
But more importantly, he was currently more concerned about Li Pu’s safety.
Yet that Battle Turtle... didn’t look like an enemy he could handle.
Oddly enough, Master Jie Jie realized belatedly that ever since the cocoon had broken its shackles and powered up, the Battle Turtle hadn’t moved at all, like a completely motionless boulder.
[Father, is this enough?]
Just then, he heard Bie San suddenly say something that sounded utterly baffling.
Father?
His father was the guardian beast, Elder Gui Hun, wasn’t he?
With the skeletons and death beasts wiped out, the cocoon suppressed, and the Battle Turtle motionless, the whole field fell silent for a time.
After quite a while, Master Jie Jie finally heard an old, slow voice coming from the sky.
[You’ve done well, that will be enough...]
Rumble rumble rumble...
As the words fell, that mountain-like Battle Turtle began to crumble and collapse.
Then Master Jie Jie saw Bie San reveal his true form.
"Eh?"
What surprised him even more was that Li Pu and the Straw Man were standing right beside him.
Li Pu, who had been crushed under the Battle Turtle like Mount Tai, wasn’t injured at all.
At Li Pu’s signal, No. 2 quickly brought Master Jie Jie over to regroup with them.
"Now you can talk, right?"
Li Pu looked at Bie San.
At the moment he was about to be crushed under "Mount Tai", Bie San had actually taken him into the wreckage control room and begged him to play along.
"Uh..."
"Father, you say it."
Bie San didn’t know where to begin for a moment.
[Very well, I’ll explain.]
At that moment, a semi-transparent white shadow appeared in midair and drifted down.
"Hm?!"
Master Jie Jie’s eyes bulged again when he saw that shadow.
"T-t-t-t, Elder Gui Hun?!"
"Weren’t you dead?"
Now he finally caught on.
The white shadow was about the size of a jeep, and its outline and shape didn’t differ much from the Battle Turtle just now.
Li Pu, however, wasn’t particularly surprised.
Because back outside the barrier, in the Wu-Liu Domain, he had faintly seen a white shadow beside Gui Hun’s corpse.
Thinking about it now, what he’d seen back then must have been this very being.
