Fey Evolution Merchant Novel - Chapter 508
Chapter 508: Blooming Carnage
Liu Jie had already created eight Hurricane Owlet Moths.
“Big Brother Zhou made the right choice. We should head up first. If we encounter any danger, I’ll take care of it. We have to deliver you to the dimensional hub,” said Liu Jie to Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan felt a heavy weight pressing down on his chest. He understood where Liu Jie was coming from, so Lin Yuan agreed with their decision.
Lin Yuan’s resolve to prevent the dimensional rift’s evolution was unwavering. He just felt that he was too weak to prevent such a disaster on his own.
Lin Yuan turned and said to Zhou Luo, “I want to give you something, Big Brother Zhou.”
Zhou Luo felt warmly validated when he heard Liu Jie and Lin Yuan address him in such a manner.
Zhou Luo doubtfully stretched out his hand to Lin Yuan.
What does he have for me?
When he saw what Lin Yuan had taken out, he immediately stretched out his other hand as well.
The heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls from Lin Yuan’s Spirit Lock spatial zone were in a pile.
Lin Yuan placed all the heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls produced by the Scorching Elemental Shellfish and the Thick Earth Elemental Shellfish in Zhou Luo’s hands.
Since Lin Yuan had spent away the previous elemental pearls, the ones at hand were just the fruits of two days worth of production, which totaled about 100 pieces.
Most of the elemental pearls were earth-type. The fire-elemental pearls were the Twin Red Pagoda’s leftovers, and there were only a small number of them.
Zhou Luo’s Lava Dragon Lizard was a fire- and earth-type fey. Its exclusive skill, Elemental Release, could imbue shields with elemental power.
These heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls could effectively supplement the Lava Dragon Lizard’s exclusive skill.
Using the heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls to replenish elemental energy was a huge waste, but these 100 elemental pearls could significantly raise the Lava Dragon Lizard’s fighting power.
Time was tight. Lin Yuan and Liu Jie continued following the four Hurricane Owlet Moths toward the dimensional hub after giving Zhou Luo the elemental pearls.
Zhou Luo looked at the 100 heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls in his hands, and he could feel the immense elemental energy they encompassed.
A spark of hope for survival bloomed in spite of Zhou Luo’s resolution for death.
In order for the spark to erupt into a flame, he needed to brush against death and do all he could to finish off the eight Diamond Blade Worms.
Zhou Luo patted the Lava Dragon Lizard’s two necks, an action he had performed countless times in the past to the point that it came as natural to him as breathing.
“Old buddy, it’s time for us to fight alongside one another again. Let us two lazy bums show off what we can do,” he murmured to the Lava Dragon Lizard.
The Lava Dragon Lizard released the ability Lizard Roar.
The bones on the Lava Dragon Lizard’s skin were flushed with blood and strengthened.
The Lava Dragon Lizard covered itself with the ability Thick Shield followed by Lava Strong Shield.
It reared its two heads and used all the strength it could muster to charge the eight Blade Worms, crashing into two of them.
When the shield came in contact with the thorns all over the Blade Worm’s bodies, a spine-chilling sound was produced.
At that moment, carnage bloomed, but fearlessness arose.
Zhou Luo thought back to his childhood.
A very talented young man that came from a modest background was paired with an Iron Bone Iguana that did not have any concept of teamwork in its abilities before it reached Silver grade.
The two experienced more than their fair share of evil and hardship.
The abilities Strong Head Lizard Hit, Shield Tail Parry, Lizard Roar, and Unbreakable Iron Bones, which had been ridiculed, seemed to be part of destiny.
Those abilities and exclusive skills were now at maximum effectiveness.
The sound of the Lizard Roar and the impact noise upon contact with the Blade Worms’ thorns was deafening.
Behind the horrible sound were one man and one lizard who were forming a barrier between the tsunami that was the Class 5 dimensional rift for the sake of Indigo Azure City.
The horrible sound was earth-shattering, and a pandemonium of aggressive bedlam was created in the raging storm of sand.
One after another, the heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls were shattered in Zhou Luo’s hand. However, he eventually sensed that the Lava Dragon Lizard had absorbed too much elemental energy and was experiencing a lag in its sensitivity to elemental energy.
In light of the remaining three Blade Worms that could still stand, Zhou Luo disabled the Lava Dragon Lizard’s shield.
Bloody holes were punctured into the shieldless Lava Dragon Lizard’s body by the Blade Worms’ thorns.
The Lava Dragon Lizard looked like a mass of blood, and even Zhou Luo’s leg had been stabbed several times as well.
Zhou Luo injected his last ounce of spiritual power into the Lava Dragon Lizard.
Despite his depleted spiritual energy, this seven-foot-tall man stood with perfect posture, his radiant pride shining through.
The impact noise and the sound of the thorns puncturing skin were neverending until the last Diamond Blade Worm collapsed to the ground with only enough strength left to writhe.
The ten-meter-long Lava Dragon Lizard crashed to the ground, and Zhou Luo fell beside it.
Zhou Luo shakily got to his feet and looked at the sprawled-out Lava Dragon Lizard that was barely clinging to life.
“Old buddy, your exclusive skill Unbreakable Iron Bones, let us hold on to the end. We survived thanks to you.”
Zhou Luo summoned the recently contracted Bronze X/Epic Dark Snake Dragon Lizard that he still had not had time to nurture.
The Dark Snake Dragon Lizard immediately started to attack the writhing Blade Worms in a frenzy.
When the Dark Snake Dragon Lizard emptied its body of energy, the Blade Worms were still left with a final breath, but not enough to make even the slightest movement.
Zhou Luo picked up one of the broken thorns from the ground and walked up to the Diamond Blade Worms.
He plunged the thorn into the Blade Worm’s fist-sized, thorn-covered head.
Zhou Luo seemed to understand what it felt like to be a hero at that moment.
The feeling was like a raging storm and swaying plants. It was like leaning on your own shoulder and lifting the growing grass and flying birds.
This feeling was of utter elation, and it filled him with an effulgent sense of having found his calling.
