The old woman, seeing Chu Tian easily neutralize her attack, was clearly stunned. However, consumed by rage, she didn't think much of it.
The old hag reached behind her head.
With a creak, she pulled out a spinal bone.
It was covered in slime, most disgusting.
"Hao... what kind of race is this old hag? Playing with it like that?"
Chu Tian was taken aback. She had pulled out her own spine, and yet the old woman could still move normally!
"It seems like... the Desert Earthworm race!"
Hao said uncertainly.
Chu Tian paused and said, "Earthworms? Don't they not have spines?"
"A deformity... so it's fine to pull it out!" Hao didn't know how to explain and could only add that.
"Damn it..." Chu Tian cursed inwardly.
It was his first time seeing a monstrous beast use a weapon.
And such an obscure weapon, something akin to a whip.
"Little crawler, die!"
The old hag roared, her long spinal bone in hand coming alive, like a venomous snake, darting towards Chu Tian's face.
The pale spinal bone whistled through the air, carrying a gust of wind. The fierce pressure made breathing difficult.
It also carried a rotten smell, making Chu Tian gag, almost vomiting.
Is this her true strength at the War God realm?
This old demon hag, with her weapon, was clearly much stronger than before.
Cultivation above the mid-War God realm, her combat power was immense.
A seemingly casual strike sealed all of Chu Tian and Hao's escape routes.
Judging by the power of the spinal bone, if it struck someone, it would at least shatter their bones.
Seeing the spinal bone attack, Chu Tian roared, his entire aura erupting. He knew the old hag's intention to kill him was genuine.
Chu Tian had to admit that this fellow was indeed incredibly powerful. He had only managed to slap her earlier because it was a surprise attack, and the Palm Divine Art carried no killing intent, which was why he succeeded in sending her flying.
He had even helped her even out her pig-faced features for free.
Now, he didn't dare to be careless, unleashing his full strength, clasping his hands together.
"Wrath of the Moon God, change weapon form, Ursoc's exclusive..."
[Ding... System prompt: Weapon form change successful, [Ursoc's Claws] equipped.]
Chu Tian's Wrath of the Moon God vanished into a wisp of smoke.
*Crack, crack, crack...*
Two powerful gauntlets were fitted onto Chu Tian's hands.
Their appearance was strikingly similar to Thanos's gauntlets, capable of destroying the world with a snap of his fingers.
However, Chu Tian's gauntlets lacked embedded gems.
Instead, five cold, gleaming claws extended from them.
*Slap...*
Just then, the pale, furiously pressured, and foul-smelling spinal bone reached Chu Tian's face.
The next second, Chu Tian stretched out his hands...
*Crack...*
The powerful spinal bone was immediately clamped between Chu Tian's hands.
But the immense force caused Chu Tian's blood and qi to surge.
"So strong, the War God realm is truly formidable. Just a casual attack almost overwhelmed me."
Chu Tian couldn't help but sigh. His recent surge of confidence was nearly dashed, as he had thought he could truly contend with the War God realm.
It seemed this was the gap in cultivation. He was at a significant disadvantage fighting a mid-War God realm expert.
Hao, beneath him, couldn't resist it even more.
His body plummeted significantly. He flapped his wings vigorously to stabilize himself.
"Boy, die for me!"
Just as Chu Tian grabbed the old demon hag's spinal bone, a gaunt old fellow with withered muscles in his arms waved his hands.
Two blue streaks of light, carrying howling gusts of wind, swept towards Chu Tian's chest and abdomen.
Chu Tian immediately recognized this guy as that old vixen.
Even in its human form, the sinister glint in its eyes and its withered forelimbs were the best proof.
This old fellow had been lurking at the periphery.
Chu Tian hadn't detected him until now, when he launched a deadly strike while Chu Tian's hands were occupied.
"Tiger Roar..."
With a roar, a wave of light erupted from Hao's mouth.
It struck the wind blades launched by the old vixen.
Chu Tian felt his body suddenly propelled upwards.
Then he was flung away.
"Brother Tian, hurry and go!"
*Screech...*
Although the two wind blades had their power reduced by the Tiger Roar light wave,
they were significantly dimmed, yet still carried immense power, striking Hao's upright abdomen.
"Hao..."
Chu Tian looked at the pure white fur on Hao's abdomen, instantly stained red.
His heart felt as if it were being squeezed.
"You... you will all die!"
Chu Tian, who had been flung away, suddenly stopped in mid-air.
...
Heavenly Dao World.
A certain secret realm map.
"Ner, are you sure you need to complete the mission here?"
A beautiful archer, with a rare pet in an unusual form, behind her.
"It's here. After completing it, I can upgrade into a flying mount pet! Then Ner will take you flying..."
The dragon-like pet could speak human language and communicate with its owner.
If Chu Tian were here, he would recognize her as the person he longed for day and night...
Luo Yiyi, game nickname: "Yiyi."
The one following behind her, called Ner by Luo Luo, was her super pet, ranked first on the entire server.
Pet Name: Milga Ner
Species: Dragon
Description: Possesses water and poison elemental magic dragons.
When Luo Luo and Ner both reached level forty, she directly upgraded into an attack and mount dual-purpose pet.
At the same time, it could actually speak and communicate with Luo Luo.
Although its tone was still childish, it could fully express its thoughts.
It knew that Luo Luo had leveled it up to forty-five earlier.
It suddenly remembered that it knew a quest location, and after completing it.
It could activate flying mount abilities, and it could also upgrade into a flying pet.
Luo Luo, half-believing and half-doubting, followed it here.
She had originally planned to call Chu Tian, but found that Chu Tian's game character was offline.
Her phone also couldn't be connected because she was within the Ma family's small world.
Therefore, Milga Ner led Luo Luo, wandering around, and after closing the Heavenly Dao World, they still hadn't found the quest location.
Several times, Luo Luo realized they were retracing their steps, but the confused dragon Milga Ner insisted they weren't lost.
The next day, the Heavenly Dao World opened.
Not long after Luo Luo logged in.
"Finally found it..."
Milga Ner let out a sigh of relief!
Luo Luo looked at the map and felt helpless.
Their current location was less than twenty meters to the left of the entrance.
Yet, Ner had led her to the right when they entered, moving in a serpentine path, having practically traversed the entire secret realm map.
If they still couldn't find it, then the map was wrong.
Fortunately, the map here was relatively small, and there were no monsters.
It seemed the entire map existed solely to accommodate the NPC in front of them.
