Abyss Summoner-Chapter 181 - 178: Dead End
Terrifying!
As expected, none of the Insect Kings are simple characters. Who would have thought that in peaceful times, earthworms that could be crushed underfoot would mutate into such ferocious monsters!
Even Chen Feng couldn’t help but furrow his brows. He had just ignored the actions of the Earth-Boring Giant Worm, which exploited the opportunity to turn the tide.
However...
"Die...annoying...kill you..."
A shivering voice sounded, and suddenly, the Inferior Demon stood up from the ground. Its chest had suffered a heavy blow, sunken half a meter deep, and the dragon-scaled arms around it were also broken, hanging limply on its body as if they were useless.
What is the structure of the Inferior Demon’s body?
Mud and dead bodies.
Others might take a long time to recover from such injuries, but for the Inferior Demon, it seemed trivial. In the next second, like a balloon being blown up, its body slowly inflated, returning to normal, and the broken arms retracted into its body, seemingly devoured to restore the lost Primordial Energy.
Immortal Body vs Absolute Defense.
Both sides possess powerful melee skills. The Earth-Boring Giant Worm’s fat provided protection against the Inferior Demon’s punches, but the Inferior Demon neutralized the massive force with its muddy body.
The Inferior Demon stood up from the ground; its facial expression froze in numbness. However, its eyes held tears, like a wronged child.
Emotion.
The Inferior Demon even simulated emotions. Its intelligence used to come from the chaotic memories of those it devoured, and its so-called language was mere instinctual expression.
But now, the Inferior Demon’s face no longer bore the fixed smile of the beginning, instead displaying a rich array of emotions—joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness all interwoven across its face.
What does this signify?
It signifies that the Inferior Demon has fused all its memories, evolving a capacity for thought. Remarkably, the Inferior Demon has developed its own consciousness.
Chen Feng observed this from the side, feeling as if his chest were struck by an invisible hammer, filling him with an immense sense of incomprehension.
In the Abyss, the Inferior Demon is akin to a template, transforming into various other demons during the evolution process, gradually developing pain, thought, and emotions shared by other sentient beings.
But Chen Feng had chosen to confine its form. By normal development, even if it evolved further, the Inferior Demon would only be a chaotic and mindless muddy creature.
Yet no one can divine the future. As the Inferior Demon consumes increasingly more prey, not only has it gained intelligence, but now it even simulates emotions.
God Scourge.
A being that surpasses ordinary existence, its true structure is something humans cannot fathom.
At that moment, text describing God Scourge flashed in Chen Feng’s mind. Indeed, the Inferior Demon possesses the potential to become a God Scourge. Under these circumstances, its future and transformations cannot even be foreseen by the Evil God.
While Chen Feng was lost in thought, both sides erupted in fierce attacks again. The Inferior Demon and the Earth-Boring Giant Worm clashed and burst with momentum that seemed to make the entire world tremble!
—"Dragon’s Tail!"
The Inferior Demon’s thick dragon tail lashed like a whip onto the Earth-Boring Giant Worm. The opponent wanted to dodge, but with its eight-meter-long body, the target was too large. Each strike hit the Earth-Boring Giant Worm squarely, leaving a deep scar.
The Inferior Demon’s fierce attacks actually caused limited damage, as the Earth-Boring Giant Worm’s skin possessed considerable resilience, almost nullifying most of the damage—unless the opponent could continuously strike the same spot, which means landing numerous punches successively on one point could severely injure the Earth-Boring Giant Worm.
However, the Earth-Boring Giant Worm’s body writhes continuously, never giving the Inferior Demon that chance, even though the previous surprise attack ended in failure, it didn’t mean it would stop fighting.
The Earth-Boring Giant Worm retaliated almost instantly, its body suddenly swelling, like a balloon. As the Inferior Demon approached, it opened its mouth, spraying a large amount of corrosive venom on the Inferior Demon.
Due to the Earth-Boring Giant Worm’s burst, the Inferior Demon faced some unexpected trouble. Its body got splattered with venom. Normally, with its immortal body, it could instantly assimilate the venom, yet...the venom clung to the Inferior Demon like maggots in rotten flesh, gradually corroding its body.
What is this venomous liquid, capable of even corroding the mud!
This is a rare opportunity!
Whoosh!
A gust of wind arose.
The Earth-Boring Giant Worm lifted its upper body, lunging at the Inferior Demon with a howling sound. Its mouth was surrounded by dense teeth, like a meat grinder; if it bit the Inferior Demon, its body would suffer grave damage.
Seeing this, the Inferior Demon emanated power all over, and in the next second, astonishingly, its body rapidly shrank—from five meters, it instantly reduced to two meters, evading the Earth-Boring Giant Worm’s bite.
—"Transformation Skill!"
The Inferior Demon had surprised Chen Feng once more. Not only were its arms covered with dragon scales, its consciousness slowly revived, and now, aside from the Red Dragon’s power, it even mastered Transformation Skill.
The Dragon Race is naturally attuned to magic; apart from some Elemental Power, this Magic Ability doesn’t even require learning—attaining a certain age naturally brings mastery.
The Red Dragon hunted was just a youngling, possessing limited magic. Other Giant Dragons, living for centuries, aside from Transformation Skill, they even master Mimicry Skill, switching freely between human and dragon forms in their leisure time.
After the Inferior Demon’s body shrank, its dodging speed increased markedly. At that moment, its agile figure almost flew in the air, fists clenched, raining down upon the Earth-Boring Giant Worm’s head!
Too abrupt.
Even the Earth-Boring Giant Worm couldn’t dodge, leaving it at the Inferior Demon’s mercy.
The fists all targeted a single area, focused on the top of its head.
Dozens of punches hit the same spot, akin to pounding a dike with a dozen hammers. Finally, as the last punch landed, thick blood gushed out with an indescribable stench flooding the ground.
Suffering repeated heavy blows, with injuries covering its body, the Earth-Boring Giant Worm finally felt a tinge of fear; realizing it couldn’t prevail over the Inferior Demon, it wanted to flee. Its fat was severely damaged, with dents all over. Every curl of its body was accompanied by a piercing pain.
A jet of venom spurted toward the Inferior Demon.
The Inferior Demon retreated cautiously, remaining vigilant toward its foe!
The Earth-Boring Giant Worm feigned a mock attack, then slowly retreated. It was no longer fighting desperately as before, seemingly conserving its strength.
Conserving strength?
Chen Feng felt a sudden unease and immediately observed the opponent carefully.
During the retreat, the Earth-Boring Giant Worm’s rear incessantly swept the ground, and within mere seconds, it dug up a small pit nearly half a meter deep!
It wanted to escape!
Conserving strength was just a guise; its true purpose was actually to flee. Once it burrowed underground, all efforts would be in vain.
Chen Feng couldn’t let it escape!
He had paid such a great price, driving it to this weakened state, how could he let it leave so easily?
If the Earth-Boring Giant Worm escaped like this, all efforts would go down the drain, and even the Dark Elf couldn’t perform the sacrifice. Reaching the Silver Peak again would take an unknown amount of time.
In a rage, Chen Feng’s killing intent surged, with the ferocity of a primordial beast, like the Bottomless Abyss, his furious flames seemed to burn the entire world to ashes!
Chen Feng, consumed by anger, muttered some demonic incantations, which grew louder, as if summoning some dreadful being.
Cold air began emanating from the Abyssal Fissure, void of any vitality or human presence.
"Tap Tap..."
The sound of hooves echoed, as a skeletal warhorse appeared in sight, ridden by a Headless Knight wielding a massive longsword. Entirely pitch black, it seemed freshly exhumed from a grave, with its armor gleaming like new, yet its head was missing—only a torso remained.
Headless Knight!
It rotted in the soil, with its soul eternally trapped within its shell. Innately possessing battle prowess, it forms a tacit understanding with its warhorse. Despite being a silver level existence, their perfect coordination can unleash a more terrifying deterrence!
Under these circumstances, Chen Feng revealed his trump cards one by one. The ultimate goal was singular: to utterly kill the Earth-Boring Giant Worm!
It must be said, by this point, the scales of battle had already begun to tip toward Chen Feng!
