Chapter 477: Chapter 476: Spider Tree Spirit and Corpse Eating Spirit
But perhaps this species is cursed just like the legends suggest, as no Demon Infant has ever broken through to the God Rank. Their bodies are too fragile. No matter how strong their spiritual power, when facing the lightning tribulation, their bodies cannot withstand its baptism.
In the world of the Demon Infants, there is also a legend that says if a Demon Infant can become a god, it might become the dominator of the whole world. Unfortunately, this remains only a legend, as no Demon Infant has ever ascended to godhood. However, within the Demon Infant race, they hold an unwavering belief in this legend, so every time a Demon Infant reaches adulthood, it will try every possible method to seek a breakthrough, hoping to become a God level strong and lead its race away from the curse of extinction.
Today, in this two-on-two match, Tang San unexpectedly saw this extremely rare species, and its partner was none other than a Dark Gold Demonic Bear, one of the rulers among the Bear Clan. This combination of strength and mental power was undoubtedly fitting.
And for this reason, at this moment, the gazes of the other two pairs of contestants also fell upon this pair. Everyone was unaware of the others\' drawing numbers, so their next opponents might very well be this pair. Without a doubt, this pair would be very difficult to deal with. The Demon Infant\'s spiritual power is so great that, purely in terms of spiritual power, it is no less than a first-level bloodline, and everyone among these elites was well aware of how much of an impact a strong spiritual power could have on the battlefield.
Relatively speaking, although some recognized Pretty Girl, they still subconsciously believed that the pair with the Demon Infant would be stronger. Doubles matches are about the partnership between two people, and the complementarity of species within the team is very important. There were far more players from different races than from the same Race in the competition for this very reason.
After observing these two, Tang San\'s gaze shifted to the other two pairs of contestants, and then a faint smile appeared on his face. With luck enhancement on his side, he believed that his and Pretty Girl\'s opponents in this round should not be the Dark Gold Demonic Bear and Demon Infant tandem but another pair that was more suited for them. After all, they were the opponents he hoped for.
"Team seven, team eight, enter the arena for the match, Arena one." Just then, the voice of the staff members had already sounded, meaning it was time for Tang San and Pretty Girl to take the stage.
As they walked towards the passage, another pair of contestants also came out, just as Tang San had expected, it was the pair he had surmised earlier.
The contestants faced each other, and Tang San could distinctly feel the sternness in the eyes of his opponents, their gaze nearly solidifying on Pretty Girl. Clearly, they must have watched Pretty Girl\'s match from the day before. For the Peacock Demon Clan\'s Space Controllers, they were naturally quite wary. The Peacock Demon Clan was a true first-level bloodline, and spatial manipulation was endlessly variable.
Following the corridor to opposite sides of the stage, Pretty Girl turned her head to look at Tang San, and he nodded at her.
This round, their luck was good; from the prior circumstances of their opponents, it was clear they were facing a second-level Bloodline combination, not an exceedingly strong one.
Ascending the stage, Pretty Girl and Tang San stood side by side, while their opponents also had taken their places.
They were a pair of Spirit Monster contestants, both from the Spirit Monster race, but of different species.
The contestant on the left was about four meters in height, with pitch-black skin covering the entire body, somewhat humanoid in appearance, but had eight arms, each limb slender and sharp at the ends, looking very keen. A pair of eyes emitted a deep and secluded color.
However, the appearance of another contestant was somewhat strange, with his entire body shining a brilliant gold, so dazzling that Tang San at first thought he was a Golden Wood that had cultivated into a spirit. But upon closer observation, he realized that wasn\'t the case, for there was no strong life aura on his body. On the contrary, there seemed to be a faint aura of death lingering about him.
With the knowledge Tang San had accrued over the years about the various spirit monsters on the Demon Monster continent, he could basically identify the races of these two opponents.
The one with eight arms all over in pitch black, should be a Spider Tree Spirit, while the one with a brilliant golden body, looking very dazzling, but with completely white pupils and a human-like appearance that was chilling, should be the notorious Corpse Eating Spirit.
The Corpse Eating Spirit is a type of plant, similar to vines, and highly poisonous. It feeds by devouring all kinds of corpses. The more powerful the corpuses they devour, the faster they evolve, possessing a super strong digestive capacity. In terms of corrosion, they are absolutely one of the top existences in the spirit monster world.
The Spider Tree Spirit is better at direct combat, while the Corpse Eating Spirit excels at remote attacks, area attacks, and highly poisonous attacks, making it highly troublesome to deal with.
Both are of the second-tier top bloodline within the spirit monster race. Their strength is extraordinary. Their combination clearly aims for one close-quarters and one long-distance, coordinating with each other.
Tang San said to Pretty Girl, "Let\'s each fight our own battles. You take on the Spider Tree Spirit, and I\'ll take on the Corpse Eating Spirit, how about that?"
"Alright," Pretty Girl nodded slightly.
"The match begins!" With the referee\'s announcement, Tang San and Pretty Girl\'s first cooperation on the stage officially commenced.
The Spider Tree Spirit was the first to move. Its body crawled forward and down, and then its eight arms were already stuck into the ground. Then, it simply disappeared, merging into the ground like a shadow.
In the world of spirit monsters, the Spider Tree Spirit has the moniker of Shadow Killers. Top-tier Spider Tree Spirits in a world filled with shadows are even considered invincible. Once transformed into a shadow, its speed is incredibly fast, giving the impression that it can cover two hundred meters in an instant. In nearly two breaths, it had already approached closely.
Pretty Girl stepped forward, and suddenly below his foot, a silver, shining six-pointed star burst forth, outlined by spatial cracks. With a stomp, he aimed right at the approaching shadow.
The body of the Spider Tree Spirit was instantaneously propelled upward in advance, its eight sharp arms materializing as black blades in midair, slashing directly toward Pretty Girl.
Meanwhile, on the other side, almost simultaneously with the Spider Tree Spirit\'s assault, the Corpse Eating Spirit\'s belly suddenly swelled, much like a blown-up rubber ball, expanding intensely. The brilliant golden light on its body also turned into a misty yellow vapor that enveloped its surroundings. The swelling was incredibly fast, and while originally three meters tall, its body had ballooned to a three-meter diameter just as the Spider Tree Spirit and Pretty Girl had begun to clash.
But in that moment, it suddenly felt a warning. Its expanding body leaped forward abruptly, just like a sudden bounce of a rubber ball. In the place where it was just before, a figure had already appeared soundlessly.
