Mutant Crimson Demon? Curse Counter!

Chapter 83 Mutant Crimson Demon? Curse Counter!

Pushing aside some bushes blocking his way, Ling Tianyu, whose five senses were extremely sharp, tried to keep his movements as quiet as possible.

After all, all their information about demons so far is speculation; although the types are basically known, the number is unknown.

If he were besieged by demon generals, especially on their home turf, Ling Tianyu couldn't guarantee he could escape unscathed.

"Na na na~"

The cry of the Crimson Demon drifted on the wind. Ling Tianyu's muscles tensed, his mental focus sharpened, and he drew his sword, Taihong, ready to fend off the demon's sneak attack...

A moment later, Ling Tianyu noticed that the Crimson Demon had not yet made a move and sensed something was wrong. Using his plant-based abilities to investigate the surroundings, he discovered that there were no demon figures within a hundred-meter radius.

A false alarm!

Letting out a long breath, Ling Tianyu gripped the [Taihong] tightly in his right hand and slowly stepped into the valley...

Sure enough, just as Lingling said, there was indeed a small lake about 100 meters wide in the center of the valley, with golden spots of light dancing in the sunlight.

"Is this the Crimson Ling Demon?" Ling Tianyu saw a fish-shaped demon with an indescribable appearance lying in the center of the lake, resting. The sound he heard earlier was probably made by it in its sleep, which gave him a big fright!

So demons can talk in their sleep too...

but……

Ling Tianyu whispered into his earpiece, "Lingling, does the Crimson Demon have a conch shell for protection?"

"No, they are known for their agility. Adding unnecessary burdens would definitely hinder their movement," Lingling asked doubtfully.

"Uh, this one in front of me is a bit of a hybrid. Judging by its claws, it looks like a Crimson Ling Demon, but it's carrying a dark-colored snail shell on its back... I suspect this demon is a variant. We'll have to fight it to find out the specifics!"

As Ling Tianyu spoke, he sheathed the [Taihong] sword. This demon looked like the tank type; it was better for him to stay in the back and cast spells.

"Hey, Ling Tianyu, calm down. Let's come back and discuss a strategy first..."

"No need, I want to see if this tortoise shell is hard enough!" Ling Tianyu said with great interest, his emerald green light shining brightly, the plant-type star map connected, and mid-level magic was completed!

【Throat Sealing - Kunzhilin - Restraint】!

With a slight flick of Ling Tianyu's wrist, a cyan plant seed sank into the lake and drifted to the center. Under Ling Tianyu's control, it grew rapidly, forming a plant prison with sharp, poisonous thorns that bound the Crimson Demon's hard shell!

Ling Tianyu's magic release speed was already very fast, but this mutant Crimson Ling Demon was even faster. Just before the plant cage attacked, it managed to stuff all potentially vulnerable parts into its shell.

"Too cowardly!" Ling Tianyu curled his lip, immediately feeling bored. This guy's cowardice was comparable to that of the giant-eyed blood rat!

Calming himself down, Ling Tianyu gathered his strength and completed another plant star trail, binding the mutant Crimson Demon in layers like a cicada cocoon, ensuring that it would not be able to escape for the time being.

"Tsk tsk, this demon shell is really tough, it actually rendered my mid-level plant spirit seed magic helpless!" Ling Tianyu was slightly surprised. With the sharpness of the [Throat Sealing] poison sting, even a warrior who had advanced to the next level would have no chance of escaping unscathed, and even a sub-commander might be able to break through its defenses. In the end, it could only leave a trace on this!

Such a defense reminded Ling Tianyu of the Snail Demon mentioned in the original timeline. Its defense was extremely strong, and its survivability was maxed out. To kill it in one blow, one would have to use a higher-level magical power!

The only disadvantage is its slow growth rate; it takes five years to reach adulthood, so it's not a big threat. However, the Rongmo formed by combining with freshwater salamanders is truly terrifying. It grows quickly and has a strong reproductive capacity... a real disaster, where reproductive isolation is completely disregarded!

This situation made Ling Tianyu think a lot. After all, there were precedents, so it wouldn't be too much to hybridize with the Chi Ling Yao again, right?

All I can say is, this entertainment circle is truly chaotic, it's got the feel of India!

Next, let's try the space system!

Ling Tianyu refocused his thoughts and decided to test the power of his [Second Realm] spiritual energy to see just how much power his spatial abilities could unleash!

"Spatial Rhythm!"

A dazzling silver light emanated from Ling Tianyu's side, accompanied by strange spatial fluctuations, and a star map with forty-nine stars was reflected behind him!

Concentrating his mind, the mutated Crimson Demon before him seemed to be trapped in some invisible cage, but the snail shell remained unmoved.

"compression!"

Ling Tianyu roared, clenching his fist with one hand. The corresponding spatial cage instantly began to shrink, pressing down on the trapped snail shell...

"Kacha kacha~"

After the plant-based defenses were breached, the so-called snail shell's defenses also developed a weakness, and under the strong pressure of spatial forces, it began to show signs of cracking...

But a tortoise shell is still a tortoise shell, and after a minute, even spatial compression couldn't completely shatter the mutated Crimson Demon's defenses...

Of course, if we persist, we can definitely get rid of this demon, but the corresponding dual-elemental magic power will probably be exhausted, which is really not worth the loss.

"I've had enough fun, let's end this!" Ling Tianyu said calmly, dispelling the spatial pressure and the constraints of the plant cage.

"Na na na~"

The mutated Crimson Demon mistakenly believed that Ling Tianyu was exhausted, and proudly poked out one of its heads, as if mocking his incompetence.

"Laugh at me? I hope you'll still be laughing later!" Ling Tianyu wasn't angry at all; instead, he smiled meaningfully, a dark red curse flashing in his eyes...

"The Spider's Trap!"

The powerful curse aura spread, and Chi Lingyao seemed to sense the danger, once again becoming a coward. Unfortunately, this time he could not escape his fate of death!

The evil spider descends, its many compound eyes flashing with a thirst for souls!

"Go, that guy is your food!" Ling Tianyu pointed at Chi Lingyao and commanded.

Upon receiving the spellcaster's command, the cursed spider climbed above the Crimson Demon, hanging down strands of crimson spider silk to entangle the Crimson Demon's soul!

No matter how strong its physical defense is, its soul is ultimately weak. The evil spider has no physical form, and its tortoise shell defense is useless against it!

"Na na na~" The Crimson Demon felt an extreme threat, something it had never felt since birth!

In the past, whether it was a human, a demon, or even its own people who drove it away from its tribe, all of them were helpless against its defenses. But today, however…

Soon, the illusory soul of the Crimson Demon was pulled out by the Evil Demon Spider, which greedily tore and destroyed it, while simultaneously feeding back a continuous stream of soul power to Ling Tianyu...

A moment later, the Crimson Demon's soul could no longer hold on and quietly dissipated, transforming into a crystal-clear remnant soul that flew into the little Qilin pendant.

As for its tortoise shell and flesh, without the most crucial soul, it naturally lost any chance of survival.

And another thing, France has lifted its lockdown?!

However, it seems to be missing something compared to the original work...
