Chapter 2028: Chapter 2028: Withered Water Wood Clan

However, upon hearing the cries for help, Zhou Yu seemed as if he hadn’t heard them at all, still staring intently ahead. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Seeing Zhou Yu remain motionless, with no intention of taking action, Ma Kun and the others were both anxious and angry.

"Go all out; we can only rely on ourselves now."

Guo Liang shouted, and then desperately began to cast spells, and the others also used their trump cards.

All nine of them fought desperately, seemingly about to break free from the control of the terrifying water column.

At this moment, the ancient trees beside the waterfall suddenly moved.

These ancient trees shook violently, causing all their bark and leaves to fall off. Immediately after, the trunks of the trees transformed into several huge vine-like objects.

These giant vines whipped around furiously and flew towards the nine people.

The nine saw that they were about to break free from the water column’s control when suddenly the sound of something cutting through the air came.

Everyone lifted their heads abruptly to see vines shooting towards them.

Seeing this scene, despair flickered in their eyes.

At this moment, they were still not free from the water column’s control and had no power to resist.

However, at that moment, a silhouette suddenly appeared in front of them.

Immediately, a blaze shot out, instantly splitting into nine, rushing towards the nine vines.

Seeing this scene, the nine people’s faces froze for a moment, then turned into expressions of great joy.

"Captain!"

The person who acted was, of course, Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu said calmly:

"Leave this to me."

"You all handle whatever’s underwater."

Hearing these words, the nine were immediately invigorated, responding in unison:

"Yes!"

Then, all nine of them went all out against the water column while Zhou Yu focused on the nine vines in front of him.

The nine vines, hit by Zhou Yu’s Primordial Spirit Fire earlier, immediately showed signs of pain.

The nine vines continued to lash in mid-air while charred black, finally managing to dispel the Primordial Spirit Fire.

Afterward, the nine vines quickly merged into one, hovering in mid-air, like a headless snake, staring intently at Zhou Yu.

Then, the vine suddenly started to tremble, and in an instant, a terrifying green poisonous mist spurted out from the vine, transforming into numerous green arrows that shot towards Zhou Yu.

Seeing this, Zhou Yu snorted coldly and once again urged his Primordial Spirit Fire, instantly raising a giant fire net in front of him.

Blocking all those poisonous arrows.

These poisonous arrows seemed potent, but upon meeting Zhou Yu’s Primordial Spirit Fire, they were instantly incinerated.

Afterward, Zhou Yu quickly cast a spell, and the fire net moved towards the vine.

Having once experienced the might of Zhou Yu’s Primordial Spirit Fire, the vine evidently knew it could not withstand it.

It twisted frantically, quickly retreating towards the base of the waterfall.

At this moment, Guo Liang, Ma Kun, and the others had already broken free from the water column beneath the waterfall.

Still shaken, the nine hovered behind Zhou Yu, keeping a close watch on the area below the waterfall.

They saw the vine retreating under the waterfall.

The pool beneath the waterfall suddenly began to roil.

Immediately, a massive figure leaped out of the pool.

It was a green water monster bristling with countless tentacles.

The green water monster was covered in decaying bark, its eyes almost blending with the bark, making it extremely difficult to discern.

Most astonishing, atop the green water monster was a small green creature that resembled a child.

The green creature retained a humanoid shape, but its facial features were not human-like at all.

Seeing this green creature, Ma Kun and the others behind Zhou Yu immediately exclaimed:

"Captain, be careful, that’s a member of the Withered Water Wood Clan!"

"It should be a high-level figure in the Black Water Realm, equivalent to the Human Race’s Divinity Transformation Realm."

"A previous captain was killed by a member of the Withered Water Wood Clan in the Black Water Realm."

The shouts from Ma Kun and the others were filled with terror.

At this moment, a glint of cold light flashed in Zhou Yu’s eyes as well.

He was intensely focused on the Withered Water Wood Clan member.

The Withered Water Wood Clan member was also fixated on Zhou Yu, murderous intent flashing in his emerald eyes.

Clearly, he had realized that Zhou Yu was the greatest threat among this group.

At that moment, the Withered Water Wood Clan member moved.

With a sharp howl, the thick tentacles of the green water monster beneath him began to wave frantically.

Then, streams of emerald green light shot towards Zhou Yu.

In this situation, Zhou Yu remained unruffled, continuing to wield his Primordial Spirit Fire to respond.

The emerald green light was evidently much stronger than the earlier poison arrows.

Yet, facing Zhou Yu’s Primordial Spirit Fire, it still fell short.

Unable to penetrate Zhou Yu’s defenses.

The Withered Water Wood Clan member let out an angry roar, and the next instant, the frantically waving tentacles suddenly multiplied into hundreds and thousands of illusions.

Then, accompanied by bursts of green light, these hundreds and thousands of illusions turned into real tentacles.

Each tentacle grew a bizarre, terrifying face.

Like a host of ferocious beasts, they emitted sharp cries.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds and thousands of tentacle beasts were rushing towards Zhou Yu.

When Zhou Yu once again mobilized his Primordial Spirit Fire to deal with them, he found that these tentacle beasts had strong fire resistance.

Although the Primordial Spirit Fire could inflict some damage on them, it was not sufficient to be lethal in a short time.

Those tentacle beasts charged forward, braving the burning of the Primordial Spirit Fire, to bite at Zhou Yu.

Upon seeing this, Ma Kun and the others immediately shouted urgently:

"Captain, this is bad, this is the Withered Water Wood Clan’s Innate Divine Ability; once entangled, not even a Peak of Divinity Transformation Realm can escape."

"We’ll cover you, retreat quickly."

As they spoke, Ma Kun and the others frantically released their magic treasures.

For a while, the sky was filled with various knives, spears, swords, halberds, and True Essence Radiance surged wildly.

However, against the Withered Water Wood Clan’s hundreds and thousands of tentacle beasts, these attacks were utterly ineffective.

Just upon contact, many of their magic treasures were instantly destroyed.

Magic treasures generally contain the owner’s Force of the Primordial Spirit.

Once a magic treasure is destroyed, it causes damage to the owner’s Primordial Spirit.

For a moment, Ma Kun and the others all spat out a mouthful of blood, their spirits immediately wilting.

Facing the Black Water Realm-level expert of the Withered Water Wood Clan, those in the Nascent Soul Realm like them were no match at all.

If it weren’t for Zhou Yu holding the line, they would have been wiped out long ago.

The hundreds and thousands of tentacle beasts smashed Ma Kun and the others’ magic treasures and then, with a cold smile, swarmed towards Zhou Yu.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Yu smirked coldly.

"So you want to overwhelm me with numbers."

"Well, you’ve really picked the right person for that challenge..."
