Poison God's Heritage

Chapter 874 Tall Grass

I took a glance at my bracelet and pinpointed the position of Tao Yang's group, "Let's go, we're going south," I said as I flew forward.

The problem was that we had to move through the open fields to meet with them.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Keep low, stay within the grass fields," I said as I blasted through them as fast as possible.

Everyone followed close behind, while I made sure to throw several pills and cannisters every now and then.

"What are you doing?" Liang Yu asked.

"Creating backup and diversion, those are rakshasa bombs," I said.

"You think we're being followed?" Meng Hao asked.

"No, but better be safe than sorry, those should stop any rakshasa from following us once they get close," I said.

"What's the situation though?" Law asked.

"I don't have full knowledge, but seems like the worst-case scenario is happening, Tao Yang said that the queen had awoken," I grimaced through the words.

While we flew, the grass felt more and more ominous, especially with the silence that permeated the planet due to the lack of life, something was not feeling too right here.

"Shen Bao!" Law shouted "DODGE!"

For a second my mind seemed to instantly calm the gears running inside it. Because it was Law who spoke.

Now, there are a few issues here...

First things first, we brought Law for a reason, his incredible luck would always help us in times we need it. But the problem was the way he worded his warning. To dodge, but dodge where?

I have no idea what's going on nor what's happening so I cannot simply just 'dodge'

Primordial Serpent Sight, the pupils of my eyes turned to serpentine slits and everything slowed down.

Several more of these tentacular creatures shot more and more of their membranes at us, but now that we're used to them, we easily dodged them.

They had the advantage of stealth and ambush but they seem rather stuck in place, perhaps monsters that cannot move or hunt. No wonder we didn't see them back at the battle against the Rakshasa in the Beyond, they perhaps need soil or a way to hide form sight to be of any use.

"Keep moving!" I called as I heard the sound of more and more Rakshasa echoing through the planes.

Far in the distance my eyes caught a silver rakshasa rushing down a hill and enter the open field. I cursed inwardly, the moment that damn thing gets close enough, it'll call its friends over, and now that we're on their turf, we'll pay dearly.

Yet my eyes couldn't believe what I was seeing.

The moment the Silver Rakshasa sat foot on the grass field, and entered stealth, several tentacle arms shot up from the ground, penetrating the Silver's body and tearing it apart then squeezing its blood for a massive jaw made of nothing but disturbing flesh and fangs to consume it all.

"STOP!" I shouted instantly, and everyone did.

"Why are we stopping," YuYu asked.

"Don't move, for now, just don't move," I said.

The echoes of the rakshasas continued all around us, and soon, it began to die down, slowly but surely.

"Stand down, don't touch the ground hover a bit above it," I said through divine sense, "And look at the north," I said.

More and more rakshasa however approached the field from the far north, there was a small hill that rose slightly above the field and seemed to be extending back far away, the entire hill and its extension didn't have any of the tall grass, but we could see the rakshasa while they couldn't.

A silver rakshasa that came to inspect what was going on hesitated approaching the fields, but when a massive brute rakshasa came in and pushed it forward, the poor bastard had no choice but to move forward. And the moment it moved too far, more tentacles rose up to rip it to shreds.

"I thought they're allies..." Meng Hao said.

"They are, until one of them is hungry. I've seen Silver Rakshasa kill their kin for food, so it's nothing too strange when this happens."

"But what now?" Liang Yu asked. "Why are we not moving, the grass ends there," she said as she looked at the south.

Indeed, the grass ends there, but the concentrating of those monsters is far greater at the rims of the grass field than inside it.

Just as I was thinking of what I was supposed to do, the grass next to me moved a bit, I sliced through the grass with Creeping Demise cutting it apart revealing the terrified face of a young child.
