Capítulo 44: Chapter 44 : The Thousand-Legged Centipede Spirit (3)

Xie Jianyu and Zhou Guiying were visibly stunned to see Zhang Fengxi and Jiang Muchen there.

"Muchen, were you not assigned to the fifth entrance?" Xie Jianyu narrowed his eyes at his nephew.

"I was! This madman Zhang Fengxi forced me to come here!"

"..."

Force?

Who forced whom, again?

Meanwhile, the gigantic centipede started smashing his body against his rocky prison.

"The entrances are collapsing!" Zhou Guiying shouted. "We have to go! NOW!"

Xie Jianyu reached out and pulled at Jiang Muchen's wrist.

"Let's go! Out of here!"

Zhang Fengxi dawdled behind. Once he saw the other three people heading out, he shielded his head with his arms and went deeper into the entrance.

He had a reason to switch entrances this time around. He just did not expect the other group to be so foolish. Did they not know that they were facing a thousand-year-old spirit? It grew one leg with each passing year!

Zhang Fengxi murmured a spell and made a hand seal in the air. The character he just wrote glowed in a bright golden light before it dissolved into a protective barrier in the shape of a golden bell.

It was good enough to handle the falling rocks, but it did not help Zhang Fengxi to get closer to the centipede.

Zhang Fengxi clenched his jaw.

How to get closer to the centipede? The fifth entrance was too far from where he currently was, and it also took him farther from his goal.

Oh, the bloody idiots of the fifth entrance!!!

While Zhang Fengxi was busy cursing at his ignorant classmates, the ground beneath his feet started to crumble. Zhang Fengxi widened his eyes in fear.

No, no, no, noo...!!!

This was not supposed to happen!

He tried to grab anything to prevent himself from falling, but he failed miserably. Just as he thought that he was about to die from being trampled by the centipede, his arm was captured by someone.

Zhang Fengxi's body swayed slightly, but he did not fall.

Zhang Fengxi looked up and stared at Xie Jianyu's bewildered face.

"Prince Zhang Fengxi, are you out of your mind?" he snapped angrily. "Are you trying to kill yourself???"

Xie Jianyu should have spared himself the few breaths because in the next moment, the ground under his feet crumbled as well and they both fell into the darkness.

"AaaaaaaaaaaaaHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

Zhang Fengxi landed unceremoniously on his backside, but at least he landed on a bed of moss.

Xie Jianyu performed a salto in the air before he landed perfectly on the ground.

Zhang Fengxi quickly took out a fire talisman and lit it up. The lighting allowed them to look at their surroundings, but it also allowed the centipede to locate them.

"Watch out!!!" Zhang Fengxi cried out when he saw the centipede move its body. He quickly extinguished the fire but it was too late. The centipede already saw the two creatures who intruded into its prison.

BOOM

CRACK

BANG

Zhang Fengxi gritted his teeth.

He couldn't see what happened, but he heard Xie Jianyu's soft whimper.

He wanted to shout and ask Xie Jianyu if he was alright, but he did not dare alert the centipede.

SHAAAAA

Zhang Fengxi stuck to the wall.

Did the Thousand-Legged Centipede Spirit always have a huge space to slither around in this so-called prison?

Zhang Fengxi wrinkled his nose. He could smell the centipede's stinky breath. It was coming close.

Zhang Fengxi fumbled around the rocky wall. Not all entrances had been destroyed. There had to be some safe space for them to hide in...

Just as Zhang Fengxi found a tunnel along the rocky wall, he was shocked by Xie Jianyu's sudden cry.

"Azure Dragon's Annihilation, First Form!"

Winter Frost emitted a greenish-blue glow. The sword aura coalesced and formed a huge greenish-blue dragon aura along Winter Frost's blade. It charged at the giant centipede like a real dragon.

A slashing sound was heard, followed by the spirit's agonized scream.

KHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE...!!!

"Xie Jianyu!!!"

Relief filled Zhang Fengxi's entire body. If Xie Jianyu had enough power to land an attack, then he was doing splendidly.

"Xie Jianyu, over here!!!" Zhang Fengxi slipped into the tunnel and shouted at Xie Jianyu.

The omega ignored him completely. He kept launching one attack after another at the centipede, almost as if he were possessed.

"Freaking hell!" Zhang Fengxi almost spat out blood as he watched the fierce battle. This crown prince had such a huge ego that he did not know when to retreat from a fight!

Zhang Fengxi did not have any choice.

He climbed down the safe tunnel and unsheathed his sword.
