Chapter 44: Mumu Is Not Useless
BOOM!
The laser beams hit the three thumpers and it exploded.
Shinggg.
Bright light stabbed the thumpers’ eyes.
A heat wave imdiately swept over and the recoil pushed the thumpers, veering them away from the house.
"Hisss!"
The thumpers staggered, they slamd their tails hard to the ground.
Thump.
The sll of burnt lingering in the air and black smoke covered the thumper’s vision.
It looked as if the thumper was burned.
But Lurenzo’s sharp eyes noticed...not even a scratch on the thumpers!
...
Are these cannons also fake??
Sure it got a little recoil impact, but that’s it??
Lurenzo almost dropped his cigarettes!
While the thumpers’ vision was blocked by the black smoke...
Hummmm.
The digger worm in the yard slled the strong smoke and burnt in the air.
Its movent beca even fainter, as if it ran away, but the ground still moved slightly.
It was still waiting.
And thumpers didn’t stay still.
Their bodies burst out of the thick smoke, once again swaying, attempting to hamr their big prey!
Bang!
Lurenzo shot six more beams as he wiped his forehead.
"My lord! How long can these cannons fire?"
Lucien had just regained his consciousness and he subconsciously twitched his lips.
Actually, he also didn’t know how the facilities work.
At Lucien’s thoughts, the system imdiately popped up.
DING! [All facilities and automatic repair in the main dungeon used the main dungeon’s energy reserve!]
[Main dungeon’s current energy reserve: 20%]
[Estimated ti until the Portable Arsenal run out of energy: 5 minutes]
[Warning! Once the arsenal runs out of energy, it will drain the bound tenant’s energy!]
Lucien imdiately spoke without batting an eyelid, the lie— the encouragent pouring out smoothly.
"It can last ten minutes."
Lurenzo gritted his cigar and imdiately pressed the "load cannons" button.
"Fine! Let’s see what this daddy can do!"
Lurenzo shouted bravely but he didn’t shoot at all.
It was only when the thumpers’ bodies slamd down that he pressed the "launch" button.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Laser beams shot out, repeating the sa trick!
"Hisss!"
The startled thumpers moved away from the laser beams, but this ti, they "recovered" faster.
They imdiately swatted the thick smoke, their bodies swaying with a loud noise.
Thump. Thump.
Fck.
Lurenzo cursed.
These things adapted too fast.
The next attack— they might not be fooled!
Lucien also noticed the thumper’s quick reaction and he motioned to the sli king and queen around him.
"Shot...saliva..."
Mix the real attack with the fake attack!
The sli king and queen had no choice but to let Lucien down as they moved, shooting saliva attacks right when the laser beams shot.
Bang!
Bright light covered the thumper’s vision— and a dark, viscous liquid shot along the beam.
Boom!
Sizzle.
The sa heat swept, but then, the thumper felt a stinging, burning feeling on their skin.
Even if it was just a slight sting, it was different from the first two attacks!
"Hissss!!"
The thumpers shrieked to the sky, they looked around with vigilance, trying to see what just slightly burnt their shell.
Seeing the thumpers’ reactions, Lucien was sure.
"Continue."
We have....
Lucien looked at the countdown until the house was teleported away.
"Ten...minutes."
Just survive for ten minutes!
"Glurrgg!"
-Yes, my lord!
-Yes, my lord!
The two slis wisely didn’t engage directly with the thumpers, just shooting sneak attacks in ti.
Bang!
Sizzle.
The thumpers were harassed to the point of almost going berserk!
"Hissss!"
Seeing the thumpers’ large movents, Lucien patted the second spider gatekeeper who wasn’t too injured.
"Go. Use the remaining web...push them away."
"Kiiik!"
The second spider imdiately crawled away, bringing the last few webs around them and weaved them into a net.
A thumper attempted to slam from the side, avoiding Lurenzo and the slis, but—
Swish!
The sturdy spider web imdiately bounced them away, without any intention of trapping the thumpers.
"Hisss!"
The second thumper also tried to attack from another angle, but the spider moved quickly, deflecting them with the weaved net.
Swish!
Again and again.
Lurenzo, the slis and the spider were all stalling for ti.
[05:00]
Five more minutes!
Hummmm.
The digger was still swimming in a circle, waiting patiently, not letting go of its prey.
"Muuuu!"
Mumu went back and forth bringing the healing pool’s water, helping Lucien and the first spider.
Bang!
"Ugh." Lurenzo had fired his fifth shot and his body started to ache.
His head throbbed, his inside felt hollow, as if his energy was sucked dry.
Fck. What the hell? Are the cannons draining his energy??
Lucien kept an eye on the ground as he shouted, his hoarse, feeble voice sohow travelled to everyone’s ears.
"Two minutes!"
Lurenzo saw Lucien who had lost his invisibility skill and imdiately rushed to him.
"My lord!! Do you have energy recovery potions??"
Or let him go back to the house!!
Lucien looked at the house’s energy reserve and shook his head.
"Just endure it!"
Better collapse and return to the house rather than draining the house’s energy reserve in such a critical ti!
"Tsk!" Lurenzo endured the throbbing pain and carefully reduced the number of cannons to three.
Inside, he was shooting and cursing at Lucien.
Damn. Damn. Damn! That lord— this daddy will definitely kill him one day!
[00:50]
"Glurrrg!"
The sli queen and king slowly ran out of corrosive saliva.
The second spider’s weaved net was torn here and there.
Lurenzo’s face was already pale. He decisively reduced the number of cannons from three to just one.
"How...long..."
"Forty seconds!"
Lucien’s aura was still weak and the ground around him moved faster and faster.
It was becoming impatient.
Lucien hid behind the first gatekeeper spider as he shouted at the slis and the second spider.
"Return to the house!"
[00:30]
"Glurg!"
The two slis stayed at the yard, they nervously blocked the three thumpers’ path.
The second spider stood beside Lucien, its compound eyes staring at the shifting ground.
"Kiiik!"
[00:20]
Thump.
Bang!
Lurenzo shot one cannon at the nearest thumper, but...
The thumper didn’t even flinch.
!
"Fuck!"
[00:15]
Thump. Thump.
The other two thumpers approached, their bodies slamming right at the house.
"Spider!!"
"Kiiik!" The second spider threw the weaved net and instantly captured the three thumpers in one go.
"Hisss!"
But the thumpers thrashed around and...
Snap!
The web net broke into pieces.
[00:10]
"Block them!! Just ten seconds! Use whatever you can!"
[00:09]
Lurenzo once again launched the cannon.
BANG!
The cannon pushed the three thumpers and stalled for a split second.
[00:07]
"My..lord...I can’t hold on..."
Lurenzo dragged his body to the house and right at the door step—
He fainted.
[00:05]
The void slowly trembled.
"Hissss!!"
The thumpers fidgeted. They could sense sothing was changing around the house and they quickly retreated.
Lucien looked at the retreating thumpers and he subconsciously relaxed.
[00:03]
It’s over—
The ground under Lucien’s suddenly sank.
A silhouette instantly shot out, its mouth wide open—
Straight towards Lucien’s head.
"Kiiik!"
"Glurrggg!"
The voices around suddenly faded.
Lucien’s world slowed down.
[00:02]
In his eyes, he only saw the digger’s teeth— just an inch away from his face.
Ah...
Fck.
This bastard waited until the very end.
His aura was fledgling. His absolute control was gone.
He had nothing else.
Is this how...he died?
[00:01]
Just when the digger’s teeth were about to pierce Lucien’s head—
Lucien saw a glimpse of blue blocking his face and that very, familiar voice.
"Muuuu..."
Mumu...protect...uncle.
Tear!
The sharp teeth dug into Mumu’s body, tearing it into two.
Splash!
Blue essence spilled out, drenching Lucien’s face wet.
