Chapter 1208 The Spirit Wood Unleashes a Monster
That's right, what was attracted here was the Devouring Beast that Zhu Liu had mentioned to Chu Chen earlier.
This thing is extremely fast; it can usually leap at least ten meters.
If it weren't for the narrow passageway, it would probably be even faster.
And those claws were incredibly sharp; on land where ordinary weapons could do nothing, they actually made a huge hole with a single strike.
Chu Chen was completely unaware of all this. At that moment, under the huge searchlight, he picked up a piece of tripe and exclaimed how delicious it was.
However, the next moment, Chu Chen put down the cutlery in his hand.
He became more alert.
The sound of a blade cutting into the soil outside immediately alerted him to something approaching.
So he waved his hand to collect the multi-element stones on the ground, picked up his longsword, and casually shone a powerful flashlight into the passageway behind him.
"Holy crap, what is that thing? A Fel Devourer?"
Although Chu Chen had heard Zhu Liu mention that there was a kind of monster hidden in the darkness here, which fed on multi-element stones.
Moreover, it is powerful and aggressive.
It seems that it was my pile of multi-elemental stones that attracted this thing.
Although Chu Chen possessed a powerful defense, he dared not underestimate it after seeing its sharp claws, which could easily pierce into the hard ground, following the light.
Instead, he drew his longsword and coldly stared at the Devouring Beast before him.
The Devouring Beast was furious. It had sensed the presence of many multi-element stones, but upon arriving here, it found only a two-legged beast.
Then the multi-element stone must have been devoured by this two-legged beast.
Chu Chen looked at the Devouring Beast preparing to attack and began to consider his options.
Although I advanced so far yesterday, it was entirely due to the power of my longsword; I was not able to accurately pinpoint the location of the multi-element stone.
If we could subdue one of these Fel Devouring Beasts, mining would be much easier in the future.
So, how do we subdue this thing?
In a one-on-one fight, Chu Chen was not afraid at all; he was confident that he could kill this thing in a short time.
However, subduing it requires careful consideration.
"Devouring Beasts? Spirit-Devouring Beasts? Could they be the same?"
Looking at the snarling Devouring Beast in front of him, Chu Chen suddenly thought of a question.
Previously, the Flying Bear had been a great help in enabling me to obtain so many amethyst crystals and the like.
I still remember that there was a magical tree growing in my Chu Tian Realm.
After hundreds of years of growth, the Spirit Tree has long since become a small forest.
With that thought, Chu Chen moved his mind, and a branch of spirit wood appeared in his hand.
At that moment, the long-awaited Devouring Beasts launched their attack.
He brandished his claws and stood up like a human.
Then, with its tail treading on the ground, it leaped and pounced on Chu Chen.
In desperation, Chu Chen swung the branch of the spirit wood in his hand at it.
The next moment, Chu Chen was overjoyed.
The once menacing Devouring Beast instantly lost its momentum upon smelling the Spirit Wood.
He rolled directly to the ground, clutching his head with clawed hands, revealing a pained expression.
"Hahaha, it really is a magical thing that affects the soul."
Without hesitation, Chu Chen picked up the piece of spirit wood and stepped forward.
Then we took control of it directly.
"If you behave yourself, I'll make things easier for you. Otherwise, today is your death day."
Just as Chu Chen was shouting at the Devouring Beast in front of him.
Suddenly, human language came out of the Devouring Beast's mouth.
"Two-legged...human, what do you want?"
"Holy crap, you can talk?"
"Hmph, what's so difficult about a mere two-legged language?"
Chu Chen was immediately excited upon hearing this. If they could communicate verbally, everything would be much easier from now on.
"Alright, let me ask you this: do you want to die?"
When Chu Chen said those words, the Devouring Beast looked at him as if he were a fool.
"You two kicks...Are all humans this stupid?"
“Who wants to die? Besides, you can only trap my soul, you can’t kill me.”
Chu Chen grinned after hearing this, raised his longsword, and slashed down on the claw.
The next moment, one of the three sharp claws on his front paw was cut off.
"You guessed right, this is the hardest part of your body, isn't it? Do you think I can kill you or not?"
When one of its claws was cut off, he... well, the whole beast was terrified.
"You... how do you possess such a miraculous blade?"
"Stop talking nonsense. You'd better behave and I'll make sure you have enough multi-dimensional stones to devour."
"If you don't obey, then you'll die!"
Although it felt sorry for its paws and was very resentful of the human in front of it, it wasn't stupid.
It's important to know that Flerkens are creatures with intelligence comparable to humans.
It deeply understands the principle that beasts in distress have no choice but to bow their heads.
And since this human hasn't killed me yet, but is instead negotiating with me, then there must be something about me that he's after.
So he asked, "What do you need?"
"Hehe, it's very simple. What I need is your ability to sense multi-elemental stones, while I, with a sharp blade in hand, can penetrate deep underground as easily as cutting tofu."
"If you cooperate with me, I'm willing to give you ten percent of the multi-elemental stones we obtain. What do you think?"
One percent? Ha! I, a Flerken Beast, also have dignity, you know.
However, just as it was about to speak in rebuttal, its entire beast body suddenly trembled.
After saying that, he took his longsword and walked towards the wall. Then, he saw that the wall was as if it were nothing, and it was easily sliced off.
"So fast?"
"Hehe, there's only one thing I'm slow at."
"A little to the right, deep inside, lies the Multi-Element Stone."
Upon hearing this, Chu Chen immediately swung his sword to the right: "Here?"
"That's right, this is it. Just go in a little further, and you'll find it."
Sure enough, within minutes, Chu Chen had a multi-element stone in his hand.
"Haha, now, are you willing to cooperate with me?"
"Alright, human, you are powerful. Cooperation is fine, but take that piece of wood from me."
After listening, Chu Chen looked at it like it was a piece of trash: "Do you really think I'm stupid?"
After saying that, Chu Chen produced a bead in his hand, then took out a steel wire, threaded it through, and tied it around his neck.
As the branch of the Spirit Tree was taken into the Chu Tian Realm, the Devouring Beast instantly felt a little relieved.
But with that bead in his possession, he still dared not have any intention of resisting Chu Chen.
"Human...you..."
