Chapter 616: Candle
Sages Sacred Banyan grew larger and larger, he carefully controlled the tree barrier so there was more than enough room on the inside for his companions to remain clear of the poison gas. Killer Garden was quite potent and could infect plants very rapidly, but the gas only extended a few inches from the surface of a plant before it dispersed too much and lost effectiveness. The poison had no negative effect upon plants, so Sage imagined it turned the carbon dioxide they breathed into a poison rather than oxygen. Of course, he was no botanist or biologist, so he had no idea the volume a plant could breathe, nor how fast it did so, but he still liked to guess what was going on as if he wasnt in a world that defied science as he knew it.
With the grove of poisoned trees as a deterrent, the little bobcat had no easy method to attack them. Since the trees grew bigger and bigger it only waited a few moments before making an attack. It slashed its claws to slice off a tree branch, but a root shot out of the ice. The root was like a spear, but too slow, and the cat easily dodged it. It made a few more probing attacks, and felt the numbing effect of the Killer Garden Poison. It wasnt much, but the more the cat touched the leaves or roots the number it got. It snarled at the small grove and then ran off, hopping into a crack in the ground.
The commotion had caught the attention of Sages three companions and all four of them used their Spiritual Sense to observe the end of the confrontation. Elder Zhong even reached out to touch the tree dome around them and felt what the cat had. It wasnt a very powerful poison, but if it continued to accumulate, even he would grow numb.
Song Lu Tian chuckled, Why didnt you catch it, Brother Sheng? I wonder how that little cat tastes. Cats are usually pretty stringy, but everything seems to be weird around here, maybe itll be tasty.
That was a Sconce Cat, theyre the main thing we need to look out for during the night, but it seems that Lang Sheng has a good defense against them. You shouldnt underestimate them, Xiao Tian, nor any of the other creatures here for that matter. For some reason all the beasts that live in Icefire Valley all reach tier six when they mature.
Even so, twelve against one, he was actually more concerned about the other three. Only two of the dogs on his side were fully grown, while the Song Clan Cultivators were going up against a half dozen. The others didnt have the strength to stand up to a rank 6, but Sage saw them taking pack tactics. Circling around him and trying to nip at his heels. Unfortunately for them, he released a steam-like cloud of poison to deter them long enough for a dozen black skinned minions to appear around him. The shiny black oil surface of the Blacksilver Pawns glistened in the light as they rushed out in every direction. The dogs shook their bodies and the icicles shot off of them like flying daggers, but the Blacksilver Pawns were undeterred. The icicle stabbed into their tar-like flesh, sinking deep but doing little more than slowing them down.
The pawns lifted one hand in front of themselves and tackled the dogs, catching the snapping jaws with their forearms as they tried to pin down the blue furred beasts. Black strips of flesh were ripped from the bone and tossed into the air. A few of the dogs broke away from the Blacksilver Pawns and rushed towards Sage, leaping towards his throat, but he hopped to the side to fix his angle and then thrust both palms forward. A huge burst of rumbling wind shot out and caught the two dogs mid-air, scooping them up like a pair of leaves and sending them flying into the huge ice crevice. They yelped as they flew over the edge, but then there was a thud and a whimper. Sage slid on the ice a few feet closer to the edge and then he crouched down, grabbing a pair of silk cords from his lower back and smashing them onto the ground. He used his other hand to attach a large sticky ball of silk to anchor the two lines and then looked to the rest of the battle.
The Blacksilver Pawns had wrapped their limbs around most of the dogs, ignoring the damage to their flesh and using their bones and weight to pin and cage them. The two that had broken past level 60 were tearing their pawns to pieces, but the three that he had defeated earlier stumbled back onto their feet and joined forces on one of the lead dogs. Sage rushed toward the other leader, his right eye glittering with stars as he threw a line of silk and made it swoop through the air and loop around the beasts neck three times. Then he gave it a hard tug and the dog whined as it was choked. He ran a circle around it, making the line dip and rise in the air to dodge the Blacksilver Pawns limbs while trapping the dogs. He took a few minutes to tie it up before doing the same with the other weaker dogs. Each time he took one down, the Blacksilver Pawn that was freed would go to the remaining lead dog and join the pile.
After a few minutes, he had tied them all up and looked over to the other side of the crevice. The white ice was stained red. The three from the Mount Song Sword Sect had not been as merciful as him. Limbs and body parts were strewn across the ice, but each of them had many rips and tears on their clothing. Sage did a quick count and saw that the numbers didnt match up. Then the lines hed anchored snapped and he looked over the edge to see the three dogs had been freed by another three that were bleeding from several wounds.
Sage sent the bound dogs into his Inner World and then leapt across to join the other three.
