Lady Lin's First-ever Journey to Immortality

Chapter 269 Tentacles Monster in the Blood Rain

Usually, fire is the best thing to deal with monsters like this. However, the bat monster has made sure that fire can’t exist here. Other cultivators may be fine with it but Wen Guanjing, who has a pure fire Taoist root, is affected by it.

The thing that rushes out of Wen’s hand is a soft sword. As a Grade Two magic weapon, it can change its form. It’s the best weapon to deal with this monster baby who can move very fast. The baby is made of flesh and blood and it can’t stand the attack of a sharp sword. It turns around and runs.

An is already waiting on the way the monster baby is heading to. An’s baby face seems to be harmless, yet the paper figures flying out of his hands are powerful.

The Thunder-summoning Figure burns without ignition and a strike of purple thunder falls from the sky. The monster baby shivers and closes its eyes and starts weeping. The baby’s emotions are quite deceptive if you don’t look at its bat body.

At least the baby’s monsterous look makes An’s hand shiver. The monster baby takes the chance and rushes at An. It grabs An’s hand and bites him.

It is sucking An’s blood!

Wen Guanjing comes to them and strikes the monster baby in the back. However, it seems that the baby can’t even feel the pain. It keeps sucking An’s blood and doesn’t let go.

Wen Guanjing frowns. The soft sword twists and the body of the monster baby is smashed... In the meantime, the baby’s head is still on An’s hand and its teeth are deep in his flesh.

Before Wen Guanjing slashes the baby’s head, An waves to him. He throws a seed using his left hand. Green light flashes and a plant bursts out and wraps the baby’s head inside. The plant secretes while liquid and the baby’s head becomes stiff. An lifts the baby’s head up and gives it to Lin Luoran.

Lin Luoran holds the baby’s head in her hands and stares at it for a while. She doesn’t know what is the plant An just used or what to do with the half-dead baby’s head.

“Are its teeth poisonous?”

An stands in amazement for a while and then realizes that Lin’s question is for him. He checks on himself and shakes his head.

“This thing is deceptive, fast, and bloodthirsty... It is not completely a descendant of the Blood Line. It’s half-human and half-monster. It is not so powerful when it is a baby. If it grows up someday, it will become more dangerous.” Wen Guanjing draws back his soft sword and tells Lin Luoran his thoughts.

Lin Luoran guesses that the bat monster is mostly responsible for this. She tells Wen Guanjing about what happened in the secret land through her spiritual mind. Wen’s emotions change but he manages to keep his feelings stable.

Though surprised, Wen has to stay calm. Under this circumstance, Wen Guanjing and Lin Luoran can’t should any bit of hesitation, scare, or anxiety.

Except for those who signed a master-servant contract, Wen has never heard of a monster that can get out of the secret land by itself. However, according to Lin, if the Venerable is really out, he won’t just fuss around with them. He can kill all of the cultivators here with a lift of his hand.

Unless a part of the Venerable’s spiritual mind is in the bat?

Wen Guanjing shares his thoughts with Lin Luoran through his mind. Lin feels the same.

If it’s really just a part of the spiritual mind— Lin smiles. She may know what to do next.

......

In a small building in the Textile School, Crystal and Riddick, who were in a mess, are now fresh and new. Though their clothes are fancy, Riddick doesn’t seem to be as vigorous as he normally is.

Crystal is chatting gladly with the bat. Riddick’s long and thin fingers are shivering. They’re all dead. Riddick’s descendants, including the indirect ones, are all killed in the fight. Riddick can’t accept what has happened in the first place, and he can’t help shivering after hearing what Crystal and the bat are talking about.

Even though he knew that Crystal never cared about his descendants, he was not informed of the fact that the deaths of all his descendants are to serve as the nourishment of the bat!

“Enough! Crystal, can you and your bat friend leave for a second and give me some peace?”

Crystal stops talking and looks at her brother in surprise to make sure that he is not joking. She puts away the smile on her face. Thinking about the scene when Riddick covered her during the danger, Crystal feels that she should tolerate his bad temper. She looks at the bat monster and asks it to go and talk in a different place.

Crystal cares for her relationship with her brother, but the bat monster can’t care less. It says, “I never make space for others.”

Crystal is having a headache. She signed a blood pact with the bat monster and she has grown stronger during the past few years. Crystal has her own wicked plan because she discovers that as time passes, the blood pact’s restriction on her is getting weaker. If it weren’t that, she wouldn’t have to run the experiment for the bat monster. Crystal doesn’t want the elders in the Blood Line to notice, so she comes to Huaxia, splitting herself from her family.

Thinking of the bottomless power of the monster and her plan of turning all the cultivators vampires, Crystal switches the topic, “Your Venerable, why did you send the semi-finished product out? It is weak and it can’t do us much help...”

The bat monster laughs sassily, “How can I know about its ability if I don’t put it in the field? You’ve wasted so many years doing those so-call genetic experiments. What have you gained?”

Crystal gets scared. Her curly long hair is down and she looks stunning. Riddick notices that his sister is showing off her beauty to a monster regardless of the pride of the Blood Line. He gets frustrated and leaves.

However, the bat monster has its own aesthetic standard. It doesn’t like high-bridged nose and deep eyes. What happened is like taking off all of her clothes and showing her naked body to a blind guy. She just made the bat monster despise her more.

Seeing that the bat monster gives no response, Crystal is frustrated. Then she smiles and says, “It has been two hours. Shall we move?”

The bat monster doesn’t expose Crystal’s secret intention and it nods. There is no expression in its bloody-red eyes. Crystal doesn’t know what it is thinking about.

Crystal licks her lips. The thirst for blood is roaring inside of her. She takes out a ring which is hanging in front of her chest.

If Lin Luoran were here, she would be able to recognize the ring. It is the “Blood Vessel of Crystal’s as a gift from Lord Edward”. Obscure words are coming out of the bat’s mouth in the unique frequency of bat. Ordinary people can’t hear anything, but the Blood Vessel is moving—

The blood of vampires scattered on the yard is gradually separated from the mud, the dust, and the rotten leaves, and it gathers to Crystal. Her ring keeps absorbing the blood, slowly and delicately. The bat monster gets nervous. It flaps its left wing and takes the blood away.

Then it flaps its wings again and the blood showers down like rain.

......

The sudden rain drops on people’s clothes and taints their clothes red. Is it raining blood?

A protection dome appears above the Huaxia cultivators’ heads. It’s a blue water dome. The blood rain is actually harmless and it just needs to be insulated. With her level of cultivation, Lin Luoran only needs to use a little bit of her Wakan to support a dome like this. She has three nebulas in her Sea of Reiki and she transforms Reiki much more efficiently than others. Supporting this dome won’t affect her during the fight.

The blood rain makes everybody silent. Lin Luoran is not worried about her Wakan or the blood rain. She is sensitive and she feels that something is fluctuating under the ground. That thing may break out of the ground every second from now on.

Lin Luoran’s acute sense has helped her a lot. While the blood rain is stopping, Lin says subconsciously, “Everybody! Look out for the ground!”

Look out for the ground? What is under the ground? Wen Guanjing grabs his sword tightly and An instinctively crushes a paper figure. Lin Luoran holds Huang Weijian in her arms.

The ground rumbles. Before no one sees what it is, the Huaxia cultivators, as well as the protective dome, are thrown into the mid-air.

Several red thick tentacles are on the water dome. The cultivators are thrown into the air by a monster that looks like a giant octopus. Though the water dome is not broken yet, the cultivators inside can’t keep balanced and they tumble inside of the dome.

Feeling the pressure of the dome, Lin Luoran holds Huang Weijian stably and she is startled.

These tentacles are strong. While supporting such a big protection dome, her Wakan won’t stand for long. She must distract the tentacles monster.

Open your own protection domes! Those who can’t, go team up with those who can. Don’t let the tentacles touch you directly! Let’s split up and cut the tentacles off!”

Hearing Lin Luoran’s orders, colorful lights start to glow in the water dome one after another. There are blue ones, golden ones, brown ones and green ones. If a cultivator can’t cast such a simple spell, they will be ridiculed. However, in this situation, Wen Guanjing is doomed. His Fire-proof Dome is out of use now! An throws a piece of paper figure at Wen. Wen says gladly, “Thank you! An!”

Lin Luoran is going to bring Huang Weijian under her dome. However, Huang controls his bald pen and writes something in the air. Dim golden light covers Huang’s body. Does Huang Weijian have the Taoist root of gold? Lin Luoran is relaxed. She says, “Are you ready?”

“Yes...”

“Yes.”

Lin Luoran disperses her water dome and the cultivators without a flying magic weapon fall down. They fall while casting spells and throw them to the tentacles monster.

The blood rain is falling. Sword flashes and tentacles are cut off.

Lin Luoran is in no mood of laughing because the broken tentacles are growing back fastly. There is no way to finish it.

Lin hasn’t made her attack yet. She keeps observing even though some of the cultivators are strapped by the tentacles. She is hoping to kill this thing with one strike.

Yes. This creepy tentacles monster is a huge plant.
