Chapter 380: Chapter 380: Insisting on Feeding
“Ouyang, please, help me buy some time,” Lin Shen implored as Wei Wufu managed to burst the opponent’s Life Base with a single punch. How could they possibly delay further? Lin Shen had no choice but to seek help from Ouyang Yudu.
Lin Shen knew it wasn’t Wei Wufu’s fault, but that they had all overestimated the Ascender sent by the Di Man Tribe.
Now that he thought about it, it was definitely because Flarela had entered the battlefield, so the other two Di Man members might just have been sent haphazardly to fill the numbers. One Flarela was enough to solve the problem; there was no need to risk top Ascension Level fighters in the Sea of Flames.
Moreover, with Gerji acting so wildly, they mistook him to be strong, but as it turned out, he was all style and no substance.
“Wei, take a break. I’ll take over from here,” Ouyang Yudu said as he flew to Wei Wufu’s side.
Wei Wufu nodded without saying a word and stepped back, whispering to Lin Shen, “My bad.”
“Taking one down directly isn’t so bad,” Lin Shen couldn’t blame Wei Wufu – if he had been in his place, he likely would have met the same end. The only one to blame was Gerji for being an incompetent fool who pretended to be something he wasn’t; had he not been posturing, his Life Base wouldn’t have been burst by Wei Wufu’s fist.
“Ouyang, hang in there,” Lin Shen called out, a reminder for Ouyang Yudu to keep an eye on delaying time.
Ouyang Yudu naturally understood Lin Shen’s intention and turned back to give Lin Shen a reassuring look.
Ted looked coldly at Ouyang Yudu and said, “It makes no difference if you offer yourself up for slaughter first. You’re the Ouyang Yudu from the Ouyang Family who originally developed Firce Fire Star, aren’t you?”
The Di Man Tribe’s intelligence work was extremely thorough; they knew everything about Ouyang Yudu’s background.
“Indeed,” Ouyang Yudu replied, propping up the Jade Bone Demon Umbrella, already set on defending rather than attacking to fully gauge this Ted’s strength while buying time for Lin Shen.
“What a pity, there will no longer be any humans with the surname Ouyang on Firce Fire Star,” Ted said as he directly summoned his Life Base.
A golden light transformed into a swift luminescence rushing towards Ouyang Yudu at an unbelievable speed.
The Jade Bone Demon Umbrella in Ouyang Yudu’s hands flew out, its canopy blocking the golden light.
Upon collision with the Jade Bone Demon Umbrella, the golden light did not cause an explosion but instead expanded instantly, enveloping the umbrella within it.
Only then did Lin Shen and the others clearly see that Ted’s Life Base was something golden and slime-like.
The creature’s body displayed enormous elasticity as it engulfed the Jade Bone Demon Umbrella, then began to contract, putting pressure on the umbrella.
Seeing that the Jade Bone Demon Umbrella was captured by his Life Base, Ted arrogantly sneered, “Human, watch closely and see what a true powerful Life Base is. Ninth Turn Hell Glutton, capable of devouring and digesting anything, your Life Base is finished.”
Ouyang Yudu’s expression changed slightly; the strength of the Ninth Turn Hell Glutton was clearly much greater than his Second Turn Jade Bone Demon Umbrella.
The body of the Ninth Turn Hell Glutton kept tightening, secreting a corrosive golden liquid that started covering the Jade Bone Demon Umbrella.
The opened Jade Bone Demon Umbrella, under the compression of the Ninth Turn Hell Glutton, was soon pressed closed.
“Do you want to continue, or shall we switch to the next one?” Ted’s haughty gaze shifted towards Lin Shen and Wei Wufu, intending to devour Wei Wufu as well.
Lin Shen and Wei Wufu wore somewhat strange expressions. Ted’s Ninth Turn Hell Glutton was indeed strong, but once Ouyang Yudu’s Jade Bone Demon Umbrella was closed, that was also rather terrifying.
They both fixated on the enveloped Jade Bone Demon Umbrella, worrying that if it couldn’t withstand the attack, they couldn’t just stand by and watch it be destroyed.
Soon, they realized their concerns were unnecessary.
Ouyang Yudu also had a strange look on his face, and even seemed worried, but his worry was not about the Jade Bone Demon Umbrella being in trouble; it was about not being able to help Lin Shen buy time.
Sure enough, it didn’t take long for Ted to realize something was amiss. The Hell Glutton, which was enveloping the Jade Bone Demon Umbrella as if to devour it, was rapidly losing its golden light.
“How can this be!” Ted’s face changed as he realized there was a problem. Trying to recall the Hell Glutton, he found it no longer obeyed his commands.
Moreover, the golden glow on the body of the Hell Glutton was quickly extinguishing, and he could feel that the fluctuations and spiritual power within the Glutton were rapidly fading, almost severing the connection between them.
Ted was horrified and quickly took out the Pet Gun, aiming it at the Jade Bone Demon Umbrella, but the Jade Bone Demon Umbrella was enveloped by his Hell Glutton, and his shot could only hit the Glutton.
“Sly Celestials, they must have already known I would join the battle and deliberately chose someone whose Life Base could counter mine… But what exactly is that Life Base… How could it make me lose control over my Hell Glutton Life Base…” Ted was both shocked and furious, but could only watch helplessly as the golden light on his Life Base quickly faded.
Just in a moment’s time, the golden light on the Hell Glutton had completely disappeared, making it look like a grey stone.
The Hell Glutton, now like grey stone, developed countless cracks and then shattered into numerous small fragments that fell like little comets into the Sea of Flames.
Ted and Gerji met the same fate, spitting blood from their mouths and instantly becoming listless.
“Lord Flarela, I’ve been outplayed by them. The Celestials certainly planned this, their Human’s Life Base perfectly counters mine. Our intelligence was flawed…” Ted, shocked and angry, quickly relayed to Flarela.
Though Ted was shocked and furious, he still hadn’t realized the danger, because Flarela was there, the once greatest Ascender of the Di Man Tribe.
Flarela was an existence so powerful that she could fight back and kill several Nirvana Beings even when they were hunting her down.
In his view, as long as Flarela made a move, these three Humans were as good as dead, unless they were beings like Di Esi. Within Ascension Level, no one was a match for Flarela.
After the Hell Glutton exploded, the closed Jade Bone Demon Umbrella was revealed, now translucent and emitting a sinister blood light as if blood were about to drip from it.
Having absorbed the spirit of the Ninth Turn Hell Glutton, the turns of rebirth for the Jade Bone Demon Umbrella skyrocketed, reaching the peak of the Fifth Turn and just shy of entering the Sixth Turn.
Ouyang Yudu stretched out his hand, the Jade Bone Demon Umbrella returned to his grasp, and he immediately opened it, the blood color also vanishing with it.
He looked at Lin Shen with a strange expression; he hadn’t meant for this to happen. He genuinely wanted to buy time for Lin Shen, but there was just no opportunity.
Lin Shen was somewhat speechless. How suicidal were those from the Di Man Tribe, to forcibly press against the Jade Bone Demon Umbrella, causing it to close? Wasn’t this equivalent to force-feeding it?
