The Monarch-level summoning pattern was different from other Soul Pets’ summoning patterns, and it was no longer a single summoning formation diagram. The pattern Chu Mu used to summon the Ghost Dome King looked more like a soul imprint between Chu Mu and the Ghost Dome King, with a twisted, ghastly atmosphere, exuding a touch of dark and sinister aura.
As Chu Mu completed the spell, the pattern slowly shrank. The ghostly aura seemed to have life of its own, revealing a ferocious appearance. The dark iron rock shards from the inner layer fluttered and swiftly combined, forming the Ghost Dome King’s steel-like body!
“Hoo Hoo Hoo”
As the wind blew, the Ghost Dome King raised his right hand, and the King Ghost Curved Sword quickly condensed. On the blade, eerie ghostly symbols floated and finally engraved themselves on the sword.
“Deal with the Sixth Rank Eighth Stage Bloodsucking Wood Demon on the left!” Chu Mu instructed the Ghost Dome King.
For a Five Rank Eighth Stage Monarch-level Soul Pet, defeating Commanders below the Seventh Rank would be easy. Following the order, the Ghost Dome King strode forward with a frigid demeanor, heading toward the Sixth Rank Eighth Stage Bloodsucking Wood Demon.
“Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh”
Leaves like blades flew densely from the Bloodsucking Wood Demon, causing numerous wounds on the surrounding trees!
The damage from the Bloodsucking Wood Demon’s Hundred Leaves Blade was not very strong, but it would cause a large amount of damage in a short time. If several Bloodsucking Wood Demons released their attacks simultaneously, the destructive power would be immense.
“Roar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
The Ghost Dome King stood in the front, with the ghostly aura on his body suddenly igniting like a raging fire. Streaks of ghost flame-like aura drilled out of his solid rock skin.
As the ghostly aura burned, the Ghost Dome King’s body expanded, with his muscles swelling dramatically. Within just 2 seconds, the Ghost Dome King completed his King Ghost Transformation, becoming a rock giant with double the power!
“Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding”
The leaves that filled the field of view all struck the Ghost Dome King’s body like a torrential rain. The Ghost Dome King stood still like an unshakable mountain wall, letting the leaves attack his body. The dark iron rock skin only showed some faint scratches.
Elemental Soul Pets may not have strong vitality, but normal injuries would hardly affect their combat power. As for the scratches left by the leaves on the Ghost Dome King, they were as inconsequential as itching.
The defensive capabilities of the Ghost Dome King’s skin were at the Seventh Level Early Stage. Generally, the Rock Attribute defense of a Seventh Level Early Stage was even stronger than that of other Soul Pets at the Seventh Level Mid Stage.
The attacks of Wood Element Soul Pets mainly comprised of dense, bizarre, concentrated, and rapid moves. Their destructive power was not very strong, but the Ghost Dome King had many advantages.
“Roar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Taking large strides, the speed of the Ghost Dome King slowed down after completing its Ghost Transformation. However, its momentum became fiercer and more ferocious. The four-meter-tall ma.s.sive body stepped on the roots that couldn’t break his defense. The King Ghost Sword was raised high and abruptly slashed toward the Sixth Rank Eighth Stage Bloodsucking Wood Demon on the left!!
Myriad Weights Sword!
The weight of the Ghost Melody Sword in the Ghost Dome King’s hand instantly tripled. The original weight of the sword was nearly a hundred kilograms, and after tripling, it was wielded by a four-meter giant, causing terrifying destruction when the sword landed heavily!!
“Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
As the sword fell, the tremendous downward force caused the muddy ground to sink deeply. The Bloodsucking Wood Demon, which had a slow evading ability, had its entire body pressed into the sinkhole by the sword.
Since it had already been stepped on, the Sixth Rank Eighth Stage Bloodsucking Wood Demon would no longer be able to compete with the Ghost Dome King. With the Ghost Dome King stepping on the Bloodsucking Wood Demon’s two branch arms, the creature was near death.
“Demon Tree, Root Piercing!” Chu Mu’s attention shifted to the Demon Tree Warrior’s battle.”
The Demon Tree Warrior was only at the Sixth Rank, Stage 6, which meant its combat power was not much stronger than the Bloodsucking Wood Demons. Chu Mu did not let Zhan Ye or the Ghost Dome King help the Demon Tree Warrior in battle; instead, he allowed the Demon Tree Warrior to face a Sixth Rank Ninth Stage Bloodsucking Wood Demon alone.
Suddenly, the ground covered in dry yellow leaves exploded, and seventy slender Demon Wood Roots emerged from the land. They pierced through the Sixth Rank Ninth Stage Bloodsucking Wood Demon’s body like spears.
“Plop Plop Plop Plop Plop”
The Demon Wood Roots pierced through, leaving many holes in the Sixth Rank Ninth Stage Bloodsucking Wood Demon’s body.
Blood was stored in the body of the Bloodsucking Wood Demon. Once these holes were penetrated, red liquid flowed out of its body and slowly streamed down the withered trunk…
“Good, it’s injured.” Chu Mu smiled and ordered the Demon Tree Warrior to continue attacking.
The arm-like branches of the Demon Tree Warrior suddenly stretched and turned into two long, st.u.r.dy arms. With a violent twist of the Demon Tree Warrior’s body, the two arms extended nearly thirty meters, striking the Bloodsucking Wood Demon’s body with tremendous force!
“Sizzle Sizzle Sizzl”
At the Sixth Rank Ninth Stage, the Bloodsucking Wood Demon emitted a sly old man’s laughter. Its two arms extended as well, fiercely grabbing the Demon Tree Warrior’s arms just as they were about to be whipped by the Demon Tree Warrior’s st.u.r.dy arms.
Blood Siphon!!
The Bloodsucking Wood Demon’s arms suddenly sprouted thorn-like spikes that pierced into the Demon Tree Warrior’s arms. While gripping the Demon Tree Warrior’s arms tightly, the Bloodsucking Wood Demon began to madly consume the blood of the Demon Tree Warrior!
The Demon Tree Warrior’s blood flowed into the Bloodsucking Wood Demon’s body. As it absorbed the blood, the Bloodsucking Wood Demon’s wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just a few seconds, its body had already returned to its original state!
“Growth!” Chu Mu furrowed his brow and issued a command.
Delicate branches quickly sprouted from the Demon Tree Warrior’s arms, but due to the loss of blood, their growth speed slowed, and their number was very small.
By the time the branches took effect and bound the opponent, the Bloodsucking Wood Demon had already had its fill of blood and retreated. The Demon Tree Warrior had no choice but to quickly withdraw its arms.
“Its injuries have recovered, and so has its combat power.” Chu Mu muttered to himself.
The Demon Tree Warrior possessed a more powerful Demon Wood Crystal, so in theory, shouldn’t have any problems dealing with a commander only three stages higher. But the Bloodsucking Wood Demon’s blood-siphoning skill was indeed very difficult to deal with.
After fighting for half a day, its combat power had actually recovered again. Chu Mu realized the powerful nature of the blood-siphoning ability and understood why many Soul Pet Masters didn’t dare to mess with the Bloodsucking Wood Demon.
Being sucked by the Bloodsucking Wood Demon caused the Demon Tree Warrior’s combat power to decrease by about a third. The Demon Tree Warrior didn’t hold much advantage already, and with its combat power declining, it would become even more difficult to defeat this Bloodsucking Wood Demon capable of siphoning blood.
“ROAR!!!!!!!!!!”
As Chu Mu was trying to figure out how to defeat the Bloodsucking Wood Demon, the pent-up anger the Demon Tree Warrior had acc.u.mulated over the past few days seemed to suddenly explode. It squatted down, pressing its wooden palm to the ground.
The Demon Tree Warrior’s fingers were very long, and all of its wooden fingers entered the ground as if it were releasing some sort of skill!
Chu Mu looked at the Demon Tree Warrior in surprise, and before he could react, ten vine-like objects sprung from the ground within a five-meter radius of the Bloodsucking Wood Demon!
After a careful look, Chu Mu realized that these ten vine-like objects were actually the Demon Tree Warrior’s ten infinitely extending wooden fingers. They shot up rapidly like vines above the Bloodsucking Wood Demon, instantly intertwining at a height of five meters above it!
Ten vine-like wooden fingers formed a circle that shot up from the ground and intertwined at the central point, creating an improvised Wooden Finger Prison!
The Sixth Rank Ninth Stage Bloodsucking Wood Demon obviously had never seen this skill before, but it was alert enough to take slow steps, attempting to escape through the gaps between the wide wooden vine fingers and break free from this cage.
“ROAR!!!!!!!!!!”
The Demon Tree Warrior let out a roar, as if it were gripping its own arm tightly, violently yanking upward while simultaneously retracting its ten thumbs!
These ten wooden fingers sprung from the ground and then intertwined at the same height. The Demon Tree Warrior’s retraction caused the thumb prison to collapse and close in on the Bloodsucking Wood Demon, barbarically squeezing it to the ground!
Caught off-guard, the Bloodsucking Wood Demon was quickly bound, its body writhing wildly. But the thumb prison was extremely tough and tightly bound the demon, making it difficult for the Bloodsucking Wood Demon to break free for the time being.
Watching the constrained Bloodsucking Wood Demon, Chu Mu was suddenly struck by the realization—The Demon Tree Warrior had learned a new skill!
“The Wooden Finger Prison, yeah, a Level 6 Wood Type skill. Only a few Soul Pets capable of Exquisite Evasion at the high levels can evade this skill easily…” Fox Elder’s voice immediately transmitted.
Chu Mu also wore a smile, as it seemed that allowing the Demon Tree Warrior to fight regularly had been the right choice. The Demon Tree Warrior’s strength could only improve rapidly this way.
Captured when Chu Mu first met the Demon Tree Warrior, its Wood Type talent had already reached the peak level of a War General. Making it fight and strengthen would surely make it invaluable on the battlefield compared to the Ice-Feathered Spirit, especially since the more Soul Pets Chu Mu had, the more important the Wood Type Soul Pet’s binding ability would become. Chu Mu was sure the Demon Tree Warrior would play a critical role in future group battles.
“Finish it!”
“ROAR!!!!!!!”
Having already reached the triple-release realm, the Demon Tree Warrior’s Demonic Tree Roots approached the Bloodsucking Wood Demon trapped on the ground like the Death G.o.d, despite the fact that the thumb root skill was still in effect!
“Puff, Puff, Puff, Puff, Puff …”
Seventy demonic tree roots burst through the ground, piercing directly through the Bloodsucking Wood Demon’s body!
Stricken by the piercing attack, the Bloodsucking Wood Demon could no longer get up, and the seventy demon tree roots kept stabbing it for nearly 5 seconds. After being pierced and torn, the Sixth Rank Ninth Stage Bloodsucking Wood Demon leaked a ma.s.sive pool of bright red blood!
