Chapter 630 Clearing the Way!
……
"Hey~"
"Whoo~"
Deep within the palace, a series of ear-piercing whistling sounds suddenly rang out, clearly indicating that an uninvited guest was approaching them at an alarming speed.
With the road ahead blocked, they were forced to stop.
In the blink of an eye, three more mummy horned vipers blocked their way, their auras no weaker than the sentry's.
Two of them were roughly at the level of minor commanders, but the remaining mummy horned viper, which was significantly larger, was at the level of a major commander!
Especially in the natural haunted environment of this pharaoh's tomb, its aura appears even more terrifying!
“We can’t fight them to the death right now; we’re still a short distance from the tomb,” Tavi said.
Without hesitation, Mao Xianyi immediately gave orders: "Bai Mei and I will clear the way, the rest of you beware of horned vipers!"
Everyone knows that now is not the time to grab credit or compete for opportunities to shine. Even those who usually look down on Bai Mei know that when it comes to a strong push, they still have to rely on Bai Mei.
Bai Mei didn't speak, but walked to the front of the group. Fire-elemental stars began to emerge around her, crackling and popping, and the temperature of the entire palace was subtly rising.
Meanwhile, Mao Xian, bathed in thunder, also began constructing a thunder-based constellation.
Now that a destructive wave of lightning and fire is forming, the Mummy Horned Viper will certainly not allow Mao Xianyi and Bai Mei to build in peace.
The leading, commander-level mummy viper raised its head and hissed, while the three smaller commanders split into three groups and attacked Bai Mei and Mao Xianyi.
But what retaliated against them was an arm carrying a ghostly aura!
In an instant, the pale snake tail collided with the ghostly arm.
"Oh!"
A muffled explosion!
Both figures were knocked back by the force of the recoil.
"hiss!!"
The mummy horned viper leader couldn't believe that he could be defeated head-on by a mere human. Looking up, he saw that the man was shrouded in a scorpion-shaped ghostly shadow, exuding a murderous aura!
That's right, it's the Zu family's Body Borrowing Technique!
Back in Norway, Zu Xiangtian could only borrow the body of a warrior general, but now he can borrow the body of a commander-level Black Fiend Giant Scorpion!
Although he hadn't fully mastered it and could only exert combat power at the level of a minor commander, it was enough to hold off this mummy viper.
Ever since he was defeated by those werewolves in Norway, he has been determined to improve his strength in advance.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to stay in the Nationalist government's ranks for even a day longer!
On the other side, Qin Mo and Mu Fangming also managed to entangle a mummy viper using a combination of ice and earth magic.
Undead are inanimate objects, and are therefore somewhat vulnerable to ice-based attacks. Once their bodies are frozen solid by the low temperatures, they are easily rendered powerless.
"Giant arm! Iwaki hand!"
Qin Mo gave a low shout.
A huge, brownish-green wooden arm burst forth from the ground, with vines intertwined among the rocks and soil, just like the arm of a real giant!
Despite its enormous size, Qin Mo wielded it with remarkable agility and timing, catching the mummy viper completely off guard. The viper was caught off guard and its body was seized, followed by an ice lock that completely bound it.
However, the ice-based environment takes time, and the two of them cannot cause any real damage to the mummy viper for the time being. They are only temporarily trapping the other party by relying on the information gap.
Judging from the mummy viper's resistance, it probably won't be long before it breaks free. But that's enough.
The third minor commander was stopped by Miao Ying and Leng Qing. This minor commander's situation was much worse than the other two.
Suddenly, the worms, seemingly out of nowhere, bit through the incredibly tough bandages and burrowed into the grayish-white flesh, tearing and gnawing at it.
The bandages were strong enough to withstand mid-level magic, yet they were unknowingly bitten through by seemingly frail little insects.
Leng Qing's sound magic is even more difficult to defend against!
Compared to purely spiritual magic such as mind magic and curse magic, sound magic simultaneously suppresses both the mind and the body!
Seeing that the three-headed mummy viper was entangled, and although the fire constellation was only half-finished, the lightning constellation was already mostly depicted, the leader decisively took action!
"call out!"
With the first movement, its speed was far beyond what the three little commanders could match. In the blink of an eye, it arrived in front of Mao Xianyi, its blood-red mouth wide open, and two gray-white venomous fangs had already bitten down!
It wanted to swallow Mao Xianyi whole!
But Mao Xianyi remained unmoved, his expression unchanged, and continued to depict the magic.
This was a strike from the Grand Commander. Even with water magic to cushion the blow, a mage like him would inevitably be seriously injured. After all, if he interrupted his magic to evade it, he would be playing right into the opponent's hands.
At such close range, it would be impossible for anyone else to arrive in time to help!
In the blink of an eye, a silver glint suddenly appeared between the mummy viper and Mao Xianyi. Before it could react, the silver glint turned into fragments, scattering into a dazzling array of starlight.
A beautiful figure appeared out of thin air.
It's high-level spatial magic! Instantaneous teleportation!
This is something only Dongfang Linlin, the only high-level spatial mage in the team, could accomplish!
She teleported in front of Mao Xianyi, and the small shield she had prepared in her palm was activated, instantly transforming into a giant shield large enough to cover her delicate body!
"boom!"
"Oh!"
The next instant, a deafening explosion occurred!
Dongfang Linlin was sent flying backwards, landing far away on the stone ground. She tumbled several times before finally coming to a stop, the impact preventing her from using magic to cushion her landing.
However, Dongfang Linlin was not seriously injured. With the double protection of water defense and shield magic tools, she was fine except for a little chest tightness.
However, she wouldn't be able to withstand another blow. This was a direct attack from the level of a Grand Commander; without a shield or magic weapon, even several lives wouldn't be enough.
Song Zhizhi's healing spirit then descended.
Dongfang Linlin breathed a sigh of relief and showed a happy expression. Now she should be able to hold out until the captain releases his magic.
However, the Mummy Horned Viper Commander, who was forced into the situation by Dongfang Linlin, showed no anger or panic. Instead, his human-like vertical pupils revealed disdain.
Suddenly, ripples appeared in Mao Xianyi's almost pure black vertical pupils, and then a huge evil spider quietly crawled up Mao Xianyi's neck.
Curse attack!
This is an attack targeting the soul level, which physical means such as water defense cannot withstand at all. Moreover, this is the work of the Grand Commander, and ordinary mental defense magic tools cannot possibly be completely ineffective.
It's hard to imagine that if the evil spider succeeds, Mao Xianyi won't even be able to cast the spell, let alone survive!
"Hi~"
The mummy viper seemed to already see the lightning mage's eyes glazed over, completely reduced to its puppet, and revealed a human-like, evil smile.
