Chapter 378: Chapter 378

The scenery flashed again, and Fubei Li arrived at a mountain top just in time to see a long beast made of silvery blue energy and was shaped like a long and scaley deep sea fish with big eyes all over its body, an asymmetrical face, long and twisted body and many fins of different shapes approaching their position. This beast sustained several shots by the magical defense tower on this mountain top, its body was falling apart, shedding energy scales and burning inside.

 

Aside from this particular creature, there were around ten other beasts glowing of different colors that were in the firing range of this mountain top. And beside the defense tower that was constantly shooting out bolts of energy, there were also Fog Dwellers in their positions behind the protection of walls and magical arrays shooting their energy attacks and spells at the incoming creatures. As far as Fubei Li could tell, some of these Fog Dwellers were using primitive looking weapons like bows, crossbows and javelins, while others were using very sci-fi looking weapons like ray guns and shoulder held torpedoes. But in the end their means of attack were all the same - they launched energy beams and bolts at their targets to do damage to their bodies, and they threw curses and enfeebling spells at their targets to weaken their defences.

 

Perketta raised her hands in the air, six black bows made of unknown material with very long arms were drawn in full pull. Small traces of condensed fog energy flowed from Perketta’s body and onto the arrows. The energy wound up and wrapped around the arrows like threads and strains of cotton fiber, then merged into them.

 

When Perketta swung her hands down, all six bows fired and the arrows shot out in a volley. The long scaly fish creature was shot in its belly, the arrows embedded deep within and then exploded. Fubei Li could see many pieces of unhatched eggs and smaller creatures of its kind were sent out of the wounds from the explosion. This attack apparently caused the creature a great deal of pain, as it twitched in the air and was about to crash into the mountain top on which they stood.

 

A pale grey and slightly glowing creature with smooth and rubbery looking skin, two faceless heads on top of two long necks and three arms with human-like fingers and distinctively different lengths flew towards the mountain top with its two quite human-like mouths wide open. The defense towers shot out multiple energy beams and bolts, and many of the Fog Dwellers on defense also launched their own attacks, but none of those attacks left any significant mark. And before anyone on this mountain top could unleash another wave of attack, each of the two heads of this creature unleashed a shockwave from the depth of its throat.

 

The two shockwaves reached the position of the mountain top with almost perfect synchronicity, and the outermost layer energy shield cracked and crumbled almost instantly. 

 

“Curses! Curses!” Perketta yelled out a command in the Fog Dweller native language.

 

“That creature looked corporeal.” Fubei Li frowned as Xyankor and Dave joined in on the attack on this pale grey two headed creature: “And it looked corporeal as well! Is that common for these creatures of the gaps?”

 

“No, I don’t think so.” Dave threw out a flying grey energy sword at the creature, and the creature just twisted its body with incredible speed to dodge the initial jab, but when the sword came back like a boomerang, its back was slashed and Fubei Li could actually see light purple blood being spilled: “It’s blood and skin - they have really strong energy absorbing properties - curses won’t work! Curses won’t work!” He yelled out the last few words in the Depth Dwellers’ language, which he was sure that the Fog Dwellers would understand.

But another round of energy attacks were already unleashed, the two headed creatures, though seemed not able to travel at very high speed, was still able to twist and turn its body when the attacks approached. And thus many attacks did not strike true at all, and many of those that landed barely left their marks on the creature’s rubby skin.

 

“Do you have physical weapons?” Fubei Li rushed to Perketta’s side and asked: “That creature - it’s corporeal, and its skins and blood have energy absorbing properties, the best thing we can try is to use dense constructs or physical attacks like bullets and shrapnels.”

 

Perketta took a look at Fubei Li, then turned to the Fog Dwellers beside her: “Use construct attacks! Or use the stone arrowheads!”

 

The creature released another synchronized attack of two shockwaves, another layer of protective energy shield was instantly destroyed. And at this moment, it had become dangerously close to the mountain top.

 

“There’s more of them!” just this moment, a voice was projected to the mountain top from another battlefield nearby: “Our defenses are falling! We are falling back!”

 

Some of the Fog Dwellers looked to their left, and Fubei Li looked with them. They saw two of these pale grey two headed creatures, only with different numbers of arms, tearing down a mountain top with its shockwaves and pale, slender but surprisingly powerful arms.

 

Fubei Li reached into his pocket and took out a small wooden sword, then he infused his Xuanli into it and coating it in a layer of rock as he was running back to Dave’s side. And right after Dave threw out another condensed energy sword, he launched his short sword at the creature, aiming at one of its mouths.

 

“Woosh woosh” a volley of arrows shoot out from the Fog Dwellers surrounding Perketta using either bows or crossbows. The arrows were not coated with any energy, but were only propelled forward into incredible speed. Wide, sharp and spiked blades on the arrowheads sliced through the air, and within less than a second, they cut into the skin and flesh of the two headed monster.

 

The monster let out a deep and throaty cry. More shiny light purple blood gushed into the air, the attacks from the Fog Dwellers finally left their marks.
