CHAPTER 337 SUPER KILLER
When they saw Rocky get attacked, the three beasts beside the marsh became restless and anxious.
However, they could not do anything to help him. They had no way to reach him, how could they help
him?
Rocky was thrown towards the ancient tree, where he originally planned to go. Another unexpected
shadow surged up when he was only a meter away from the ancient tree. Another creature seemed to
want him, its fierce mouth opened wide towards Rocky.
"Damn it! Another one!?" Rocky yelled angrily. The wide mouth was so close that he could smell its
stinking breath. It was too late to dodge.
"Flash!" Rocky shouted and disappeared into thin air. Simultaneously, several glinting figures flashed
above the marsh.
When the long shadow saw that its target had vanished suddenly, it slowed down and changed its
direction to one of the glinting figures. While it was distracted, a figure emerged from the spot where
Rocky disappeared in and violently kicked the long shadow's head. It used the counterforce of the kick
and flew backwards. The figure caught a branch that was sticking out of the ancient tree and quickly
climbed up. The figure could now clearly be seen, now that it had stopped moving so fast. It was, of
course, Rocky. He contemplated the two long shadows that attacked him, which were crawling freely in
the marsh.
They seemed to be some kind of wild spirit-manipulated beast that lived in the marsh.
Rocky observed their features and finally recognized what they were. They were Fly-eye Adders,
famous marsh killers. The Fly-eye Adder's retina was crimson in color and sharp enough to see every
movement of its prey. It relied on its keen eyes, and could tell the prey's movement pattern which made
its attacks precise and fast. They were viewed as super killers. Before their prey even noticed their
presence, they had taken them down. Fly-eye Adders lived and hunted in marshes but could not live
outside of them. Thus, they were nicknamed, marsh killers. The Fly-eye Adder was also cunning.
Because they could not leave the marsh, they would try everything they could to attract their prey into
the marsh. As long as their prey got into the marsh, everything was under the Fly-eye Adder's control.
No matter how strong a spirit-manipulated beast was, they could easily take it down.
"The two Fly-eye Adders are both at the third grade of the three-star level. It's tricky to deal with this
time. Wait! Could it be... they used the spiritual crystal in this ancient tree as a bait?" Rocky speculated
according to his knowledge about the Fly-eye Adder. It was highly probable that he had stepped into
the trap that the two Fly-eye Adders had set up.
The three beasts across the marsh could not offer him any help at all. In other words, Rocky was not
only trapped but he had to escape all on his own.
Rocky had come too far and would never give up easily. He caught a rattan around a nearby branch
and then jumped towards the tree hole. He weaved through scattered vines in the air and successfully
landed in the tree hole. He hurriedly grabbed the glinting spiritual crystal but he hesitated as his eyes
widened in shock. It was a blue spiritual crystal, which was superior to a yellow one. It explained why
the three beasts were so attracted by it. It was a priceless treasure that could be rarely seen. Every
spirit-manipulated beast would drool over the blue spiritual crystal.
As soon as Rocky got the blue spiritual crystal, the marsh began violently fluctuating. Obviously, the
two Fly-eye Adders had detected what he had done and were enraged.
Rocky hastily caught the rattan once again and kicked against the tree. Behind him, the two Fly-eye
Adders fiercely struck where he previously stood but only hit the ancient tree. It began trembling
violently and its leaves fell like rain.
With the blue spiritual crystal safely in his grasp, he had to tackle his next problem quickly. The two Fly-
eye Adders would not let him go easily, not even if he gave back the crystal, which he would never do.
The marsh was their territory. If he flew over the marsh like what he did just then, he would definitely
become their dinner in a minute.
The three beasts got more and more restless as they watched Rocky trapped in the tree. They kept
roaring towards the two Fly-eye Adders but they could not be provoked. The two Fly-eye Adders just
ignored them and paid full attention to Rocky. He was not only their prey but he was also in possession
of their precious bait, the blue spiritual crystal. Without that, they would hardly manage to attract other
spirit-manipulated beasts to the marsh.
The two Fly-eye Adders kept their eyes on Rocky's every movement. No matter how he changed his
position, their eyes were strained on him, bodies tense.
Suddenly, one Fly-eye Adder crawled up along the trunk of the ancient tree while the other one
guarded the bottom.
The Fly-eye Adder was getting closer and closer to Rocky. Its tongue kept on flicking as it crept among
the lush branches.
Rocky's brows knitted in concern. It would be difficult if he fought on a tree, and there was little room for
him to hide. Although his current strength was a good match against a Fly-eye Adder at the third grade
of the three-star level, it was a different story now that he was out-numbered.
Against two opponents, Rocky had to fight on his own without his beasts' help.
The Fly-eye Adder was only inches away from Rocky now. As its whip-like tongue swept over towards
him, Rocky jumped up to avoid that attack. With a loud crack, the branch where he stood before broke
off and dropped into the marsh. It sunk halfway and bobbed over the surface for a while.
Rocky's eyes lit up when he saw that. He shook the blue spiritual crystal in front of the Fly-eye Adder.
Provoked, the Fly-eye Adder hissed madly and furiously charged towards Rocky.
Rocky narrowly dodged its attacks as he jumped from branch to branch. Every branch he jumped on holds text © rights.
broke off and dropped into the marsh. A few moments later, almost half of the branches had fallen and
it seemed that he had no way to escape the Fly-eye Adder further.
