Chapter 1376

"Please, Fellow Daoist of Qinglong, rest assured. WWW. feiazw. COM Our lives are precious too; we will not act rashly." The white-browed youth chuckled hehe.

"Have those few made up their minds?" Longdong asked.

"We can secretly conceal our forms and attack the lizard and giant from both sides, making them think the other side attacked—wouldn't that work?" The white-browed youth seemed to have considered this, speaking without hesitation.

"That sounds simple, but we don't know how strong those two's divine senses are. If the concealment is seen through, the attacker would immediately be in danger. Not very safe, is it?" The young 'madam' frowned slightly, shook her head.

"If it's about concealment techniques, I have two 'Kongming Fu' talismans. If fully activated, even mid-stage Void Refinement cultivators would struggle to see through them. I can contribute them." The white-robed girl smiled lightly, pursing her lips.

"Kongming Fu—that's a type of Yinkao Lingfu. Effective against these two. But for safety, we don't need to reveal our true forms yet. I still have two 'Silver Jiaolong Puppets'; each can be used by a Nascent Soul cultivator. Attach the talismans to them, and let them act. That's safer." Longdong's expression shifted, and he said happily.

"This method is excellent. Even if the puppets fail, we can split into two groups, appear in pairs to attract and restrain them. Then leave one friend skilled in evasion hidden nearby, waiting for the right moment to strike and seize the spirit fruit before fleeing. As soon as the fruit is in hand, everyone immediately uses secret techniques to escape. These two may rival Void Refinement cultivators in strength, but if we're determined to flee, they likely can't stop us. However, the one grabbing the fruit must be extremely fast—otherwise, the mutant lizard's tongue-spitting speed is extremely dangerous." Xiaohong's eyes shifted slightly as she spoke.

"Miss Xiaohong makes sense. But the one taking the fruit faces extreme danger, and we must also trust that he won't flee immediately after taking the treasure. Otherwise, this plan won't work." The white-browed youth's eyes flashed with cold light.

"Indeed, it's tricky. I don't know which fellow daoist here would volunteer for this final role. After taking the treasure, we must regroup. Of course, this person must also give us a method to trust them." The white-robed girl said leisurely.

Upon hearing the girl's words, the other four faces showed strange expressions.

As the girl said, no matter who finally picks that string of dragon-lichen fruit, they'd likely have to withstand the furious interception strike of the two monsters. The danger needs no saying—who could rest easy seeing another walk off with such a rare spirit medicine?

Such a dilemma truly makes people hesitant.

"If you fellows don't mind, I volunteer to be the one to make the final move." Han Li suddenly smiled and said.

"Han Daoist, you're only mid-stage Soul Transformation—don't you think that's too dangerous?" Longdong's eye twitched as he objected.

"Indeed, Han Brother's cultivation is somewhat lacking." The white-browed youth sized up Han Li twice, also shaking his head repeatedly.

"Although Han's cultivation isn't enough, I still have a top-tier teleportation treasure near spirit treasure level on me, and my cultivation method is somewhat unique—I have some confidence in self-preservation." Han Li smiled faintly, appearing unconcerned.

"Oh, Han Brother, since you're so confident, I'll entrust it to you. But how will Han Brother make us believe he won't flee with the spirit fruit?" Longdong's voice sank.

"This—I really don't have a good method. But if you all think I'm unsuitable, you can also volunteer—'mao sui zi jian'—to take on this important task. I don't mind either way." Han Li laughed heartily, half-smiling.

Hearing Han Li's words, the others couldn't help but startle.

Although everyone wanted the treasure, no one truly wanted to be the one to snatch food from the tiger's mouth under two Void Refinement-level existences. One misstep could mean serious injury, or even death.

"If Han Brother is willing to let me place a restriction, I have no objection." The white-robed girl said directly.

"Indeed, I feel the same!" Xiaohong stared at Han Li for a while, then said likewise.

Longdong and the white-browed youth exchanged glances, saying nothing.

"Placing a restriction on my person—of course! But you fellows must use the same restriction on me." Upon hearing the word 'restriction,' Han Li's expression shifted slightly, then he coldly smiled and retorted.

"Hmph, what if you fail to take the treasure and something goes wrong? Wouldn't we have to share your misfortune?" The white-browed youth snorted coldly upon hearing this.

"Hehe, this is exactly Han's concern." Han Li replied bluntly.

Actually, even if these people truly agreed to this condition, he ten to nine wouldn't truly agree.

Previously, when he and Bing Feng mutually placed restrictions, ending with his magic power sealed and Nascent Infant destroyed—what a terrifying aftermath. He still has lingering fears—how could he willingly repeat that mistake?

Upon hearing Han Li's words, Longdong and the others exchanged bitter smiles.

"How about this: if you leave some collateral, we can trust you. For example, you temporarily hand over your natal magic treasure to us, then we plant a tracking mark on it. That way, we wouldn't fear you truly taking the treasure and fleeing." The white-robed girl blinked her clear black-and-white eyes, then suddenly her face showed a hint of slyness as she spoke.

"Natal magic treasure, planting a mark—Han can accept this method. But we must mutually plant marks. When we later move while concealed, I can also know the fellows' whereabouts. Hehe, if Long Brother's two Silver Jiaolong Puppets work, perhaps I won't need to take the risk." Han Li pondered for a long while, then his expression eased as he nodded.

Mutual marking!

Longdong and the young 'madam' et al. felt a stir in their hearts, exchanged several glances, and finally nodded slowly.

It seems only this method is feasible. Of course, this is also because Han Li is only mid-stage Soul Transformation, appearing the weakest among them, so they don't fear he'd truly flee with the treasure.

Immediately, the several people discussed in detail again, finally confirming the specific steps of the plan.

Han Li opened his mouth, spewing out four golden lights several inches long, which circled his body briefly before transforming into four small golden swords, which fell into the other four's hands.

Longdong and the others were not polite either; they immediately either used secret techniques or directly pasted talismans, sealing the small swords, their spiritual light flashing as each stored them into their storage bracelets.

Then these four each sprayed out a group of light dots of varying colors from between their fingers, which flashed and vanished into Han Li's body.

Han Li had already used his divine sense to carefully examine these light dots—they were indeed pure spiritual power transformed, containing no other restrictions, before he allowed them to remain in his body with peace of mind.

Subsequently, Han Li similarly cast a spell, also releasing four groups of green light that vanished into Longdong and the four others' bodies.

Thus, everyone's hearts relaxed somewhat.

Afterward, they whispered a few more sentences to each other, then they all scattered in a crowd, transforming into streaks of escape light shooting in all directions.

Han Li's transformed green rainbow escaped several thousand miles in one breath before the escape light retracted and he reappeared.

He hovered in midair, glanced around briefly, then gently closed his eyes, slowly releasing his divine sense.

Nearby, there was not the slightest abnormality, and he felt no sense of being watched, so he suddenly opened his eyes, and made a hand seal with both hands.

Instantly, thunder sounded behind him, a pair of blue-white feathered wings appeared, then he flipped one hand over, and a purple-colored talisman floated out—exactly that "Taiyi Qinghua Fu."

To seize the treasure under the eyes of two Void Refinement-level existences, he naturally dared not be the slightest careless, so he took out this talisman.

He pasted the talisman onto his body; amid a burst of purple light and flashing silver-colored runes, Han Li vanished from his original spot in the wind.

Having become void-embodied, he rose into the air and returned along the original path.

Although his escape speed wasn't as astonishingly fast as when he came, it certainly couldn't be called slow. After a moment's effort, Han Li reappeared at his original location.

The huge lizard and the thousand-eyed giant remained locked in a stalemate, motionless.

With the naked eye, one naturally couldn't detect the whereabouts of the other few.

Thus, Han Li exhaled lightly, mentally activated his magic decision, and instantly his divine sense sensed the location of the mark he had planted.

The others had indeed returned to the vicinity, and like him, they all hovered in midair.

Two were above the huge lizard, the other two behind the thousand-eyed giant.

Their concealment techniques were also unusual—without sensing the marks, even with Han Li's divine sense, one couldn't detect anything. '

Moreover, Longdong's mentioned two Silver Jiaolong Puppets—he actually detected not the slightest trace.

Unknown whether the Kongming Fu was truly this miraculous, or if it had simply not been released yet.

Han Li's thoughts raced rapidly, but his eyes stared unblinking downward.

Everything around became abnormally calm, giving people an eerie feeling, like the strange calm before a storm.

A full meal's time passed, yet there was still no change at all.

Han Li's face remained expressionless, but he grew somewhat impatient inside. It seemed the agreed time was nearly upon them.

At that moment, the giant lizard seemed to feel its massive claw was somewhat uncomfortable, and unconsciously lifted it slightly, but immediately set it down again.

Yet at the very instant the claw descended, a flash of silver light suddenly appeared from the mud beneath the claw, followed by a burst of silver threads shooting out, straight toward the thousand-eyed giant opposite.

It looked as if the lizard had secretly launched an attack using its own claw.

The giant, who had been single-handedly holding the massive staff, was startled, then let out a furious roar from his throat, a black shadow flickered before him, a great wind arose, and he actually swept away those silver threads that had touched his front with a single palm, extinguishing them.

But almost simultaneously, a blurry, abnormal object flashed beneath the giant's massive hand, and immediately a bowl-thick silver 'colored' light pillar erupted from the void, so fast that it instantly reached the lizard's enormous head.

The lizard's deep green eyes rolled upward, the crimson horns on its head flashed with light, and likewise a crimson light pillar shot out.

With a booming sound, when the two light pillars made contact, they actually annihilated each other and vanished.

But afterward, the lizard raised its head and let out a heaven-shaking, earth-shaking roar, exerted force with its limbs, and the massive body that had been lying prone on the ground suddenly stood up.

Its huge mouth opened, revealing a mouth full of grim fangs.
