Chapter 559: Thunderous Means
In the confrontation with the demonic cultivator, this woman was completely at a disadvantage.
Although she possessed a middle-grade third-stage puppet, her opponent was very cunning and never engaged the puppet directly, instead retreating into the swamp.
Like a venomous snake lurking in the darkness, it could launch a fatal strike from any angle at any moment!
Zhuo Mengzhen focused, but she was still in an absolute disadvantage.
If she was slightly careless and was touched by the Crimson Blood Crocodile, which targeted the relatively weak physical body of a law cultivator, she could be swallowed on the spot!
A strong sense of unease spread in her heart, and small beads of sweat began to appear on her delicate, fair face.
Her long, fair hands, with dark red nails, continued to grasp the spell gestures without pause, controlling the magical treasures and puppet to defend herself at all times.
With no targets, Zhuo Mengzhen’s spiritual consciousness constantly swept the surroundings, wary of the demonic cultivator launching a sudden attack.
The Crimson Blood Crocodile at the early third stage she faced seemed to be particularly adept at hiding itself with its innate divine abilities.
Once it hid beneath the swamp, even a golden core cultivator's spiritual consciousness couldn't detect any signs.
With the assistance of the third-stage puppet, although Zhuo Mengzhen was stronger in direct confrontation, the demonic cultivator's avoidance strategy placed her in a relative passive position.
Moreover, controlling the puppet with spiritual consciousness ultimately took a bit longer to react.
Facing the demonic cultivator's attacks, this woman could only use her magic treasures to block first, and then the puppet would be able to arrive in time.
After several rounds of brief exchanges, Zhuo Mengzhen was already at an absolute disadvantage.
If this continued, it wouldn't be long before she became the demonic beast's meal.
Liu Yu turned his head and happened to see this scene.
Without hesitation, he gently waved his magical treasure, the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, which released a large amount of pitch-black ghostly aura.
At the same time, he commanded the humanoid evil spirit to fly towards Zhuo Mengzhen, ready to assist her.
Although there had been some "minor grievances" before, ultimately he had benefited from her, so it was best to prioritize the overall situation.
After all, being in the dangerous Transverse Mountain Range, losing one teammate meant one less. One should truly "cherish" them.
If it weren't too risky, saving her would still be preferable.
At the very least, having one more ally would mean more help during exploration, right?
Liu Yu did not want to face unknown dangers and bear everything alone.
In times like this, having one more teammate reduced the risk upon oneself.
In case of unforeseen circumstances, a teammate’s warning would allow for timely reactions.
If he was personally involved, when real danger struck, the choices he could make would be limited.
As he activated the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, streaks of azure spiritual light flickered in the depths of Liu Yu's pupils.
Star Eye!
He secretly employed his physical divine ability, combining it with his keen spiritual perception and powerful spiritual consciousness, and within just half a breath, he locked onto the position of the demonic beast.
It was hiding around Zhuo Mengzhen, still looking for an opportunity.
Seemingly confident in its innate divine abilities, even upon seeing Liu Yu making his move, this beast showed no signs of panic.
Little did it know, under the observation of the Star Eye, nothing could escape detection!
Liu Yu smiled coldly, and as his thoughts moved, the humanoid evil spirit reacted immediately.
The spirit's body swelled, and as its claws waved, several powerful black claw lights fell towards the hiding place of the third-stage demonic crocodile.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
Under the power of the evil spirit's attack, countless mud erupted into the air, accompanied by a thick, foul odor, splashing everywhere.
