Chapter 1377

On the opposite giant's face, a flash of ferocity appeared, and with a single movement of his hand, the black staff on his shoulder was instantly grasped, the light from the eyes on his body blazing forth, actually blinking on and off.

With so many eyeballs moving simultaneously on the body, anyone who saw it couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spine.

Seeing this in the air, Han Li felt a surge of joy and held his breath.

As long as the two below actually start fighting, their mission will naturally become extraordinarily simple.

With a "bang," the lizard opened its mouth, and a ray of crimson-red light shot out, followed by a burst of silver light exploding from the mud beneath the giant claw.

The crimson light retracted, and a strange object pierced through the body was dragged out from the earth, falling heavily to the ground.

Han Li's heart jolted, he focused his gaze, and only then realized this was a silver-colored puppet with a flood dragon's head and a human body.

However, this puppet had its core pierced through by the giant lizard's terrifying tongue, immediately causing half its body to self-destruct, turning into a pile of broken copper and rotten iron.

It seems that at the moment of engagement, the puppet still exposed its whereabouts, was discovered by the giant lizard, and destroyed.

Although the thousand-eyed giant opposite had low intelligence, seeing this also stunned him for a moment, then as the eyes on his body turned, a flash followed, and countless black threads shot out from his eyes.

Another booming sound came, and another puppet hidden beneath the giant was simultaneously pierced through by seven or eight black threads.

These black threads, unknown what they were, after spreading out, cut the several-zhang-tall puppet into seven or eight pieces, appearing utterly unstoppable.

Seeing this scene, Han Li sucked in a breath of cold air, his eyes flickering incessantly.

It seems this journey is dangerous, perhaps even far beyond his expectations. However, the lingzhi fruit relates to the source of future Void Refinement-level spirit medicines, so even if the risk is great, he has no choice but to grit his teeth and take the risk once.

After all, as long as he has the seeds of this spirit medicine, he can endlessly propagate them.

Thinking this through, Han Li calmed his mind once again.

The giant then let out a few demonstrative hums from his mouth, and placed the staff back on his shoulder.

The giant lizard, devoid of emotion, glanced at the giant, moved its body, and once again lay prone on the ground in a slow, deliberate manner.

The two colossal beings actually returned once again to their previous stalemate.

However, Han Li stared intently downward, daring not to lose focus in the slightest.

Since the puppets are ineffective, according to the prior agreement, Long Dong and the others should join forces to find a way to lure the giant lizard and giant away from the vicinity, thus creating an opportunity for him to take the fruit.

Sure enough, after just a few breaths, a pleasant pipa sound came from above the giant lizard's head, followed by rings of yellow light appearing in midair, descending straight toward the top of the giant lizard's head. At the same time, Bai Guang flashed, and two white-gold short spears appeared, then in a flash, two massive white rainbows resembling flood dragons surged down from the air like a water dragon leaping out.

Almost simultaneously, two figures appeared floating in the air tens of zhang high—namely, the white-robed maiden and Long Dong.

However, the maiden was lightly plucking the counterfeit spirit treasure pipa with one hand, while Long Dong, with a solemn expression, was driving the two treasures.

Though the giant lizard's body is enormous, its movements are incredibly agile; the moment the aerial attack appeared, it immediately let out a low roar and sprang to its feet, the red horns on its head flashing with crimson light, suddenly spewing out a sheet of red rosy glow, which spun around and actually simultaneously held up the yellow light ring and the two white rainbows.

Then, green light flickered on the giant lizard's back, accompanied by loud "pupu" bursting sounds, a patch of foot-long stiff bristles transformed into emerald light that shot into the air, while the massive tail flicked in place, leaving only an afterimage before vanishing suddenly.

The next moment, the giant lizard's tail, over twenty zhang long, somehow appeared beside the white-robed maiden and Long Dong, sweeping fiercely; though it hadn't truly swept yet, a fierce wind suddenly rose, instantly enveloping both of them.

This giant lizard truly lives up to its reputation as a mutant ancient beast—upon being attacked, its counterattack is as fierce and sharp as a violent storm.

Although they knew the giant lizard would be tough to handle, the white-robed maiden and Long Dong were both greatly startled.

Fortunately, neither of them had any intention of engaging this beast in a head-on clash.

Immediately, the maiden raised her hand, and a golden talisman shot out, transforming into a cluster of Jin Guang that enveloped her, then, ghostlike, she flickered and vanished, reappearing strangely in another location over thirty zhang away.

Long Dong, however, let out a long dragon's roar, and instantly a set of yellow, misty battle armor appeared on his body, the armor covered entirely in metallic scales, protecting his head and limbs against wind and rain, with a pair of massive copper wings on his back.

As the wings moved, a series of afterimages instantly appeared in the air, from afar resembling countless figures densely covering half the sky, an astonishing spectacle.

Whether it was the green light or the giant lizard's tail, both were completely swept away by the two mysterious evasion techniques.

However, these two dare not pause their evasion even for a moment in midair, because that emerald light, after a single loop, seemed to spiritually chase them relentlessly, and the giant tail, after a flash of strange light, began to intermittently appear and disappear, half-invisible, stirring up gales that relentlessly pursued them.

For a time, the giant lizard and the two chased each other with great enjoyment.

Although the giant lizard had most of its attention drawn by the two, it still retained a small portion of focus constantly monitoring the movements of the thousand-eyed giant, this major enemy, fearing the opponent might seize the ling fruit during this moment, but upon glancing, it felt somewhat relieved.

As it turned out, when the lizard and the two in the air began fighting, two people also appeared behind the giant in high altitude.

One person rubbed his hands together, then raised them, and instantly a dense swarm of black-colored fireballs buzzed forth, while the other directly grabbed at the void toward this side, and a jet-black, lustrous giant claw appeared above the giant's head, clutching down fiercely.

A rumbling sound came, and the giant seemed not to have reacted in time, being solidly struck by the barrage of fireballs, while the black-colored giant claw also grabbed the giant's crown of the head.

The young woman and the white-browed youth were first startled, then overjoyed.

But the very next scene immediately caused their smiles to freeze.

Suddenly, a furious roar came from within the black-colored flames, and immediately the silver-white-colored eyes on the giant's body spun rapidly, and instantly an invisible force generated out of thin air, causing the black-colored flames clinging to its body to be sucked in by those eyes, vanishing completely in an instant.

As for the giant claw conjured by the white-browed youth through supernatural power, it also failed to injure the giant in the slightest. This thousand-eyed giant seemed utterly indifferent, merely raising one hand and casually slapping the claw away, reducing it to ashes and smoke.

Such supernatural power naturally caused the young woman and the white-browed youth to feel their hearts sink deeply.

However, their attack had clearly enraged this enormous monster.

Ferocity appeared on the giant's face, and in the roar, after the silver-colored eyes finished absorbing the black flames, they immediately turned toward the two in the air and fixed their gaze.

Amid the flashing of black strange light, dense black light threads shot out, enveloping both of them.

The young woman and the white-browed youth had seen the terror of those black-colored light threads just moments before; upon seeing this, their faces changed dramatically, and they dared not let the threads touch them in the slightest.

Immediately, one person produced an object, tossed it downward, and it instantly transformed into a cyan light shuttle; his form flickered and entered it, then flashed and shot out rapidly.

The other immediately rolled, transforming into a purplish-black giant eagle about a zhang in size, wings spread, and likewise blinked out via instantaneous movement.

Clearly, these two demons had from the start planned to avoid battle, with no intention of directly confronting the giant.

For a time, Long Dong and the young woman, four people total, all frenziedly channeled their spiritual power, flying and darting above and around the giant lizard and giant, narrowly avoiding their astonishing attacks, and occasionally seizing the chance to counterattack once or twice, provoking the two colossal beings into continuous roars.

But although the giant lizard and giant kept up their relentless attacks like swatting flies, they stubbornly remained in place, motionless, with no intention of moving to pursue the four.

Otherwise, even if the four's evasion techniques were astonishing, they could not possibly endure long under the frenzied assault of these Void Refinement-level monsters. Now, as long as the four encounter danger, they can instantly teleport to an extremely distant place and catch their breath.

Thus, they can barely manage to circle the giant lizard and giant, engaging in endless combat.

But doing so naturally causes the two monsters to rage violently,

yet the four are slippery and hard to grasp, while the monsters stubbornly refuse to leave the ling fruit even an inch, and so it truly became a stalemate.

As the four's provocation succeeded, the attention of the giant lizard and giant gradually shifted entirely onto the four, leaving the attention on the ling fruit naturally insufficient—less than one-tenth.

Under these circumstances, Han Li's figure was, however, quietly drifting downward in a slow, leisurely manner. With his void-form body, even two Void Refinement-level monsters could not detect him in the slightest—this is also Han Li's greatest reliance for daring to undertake this mission.

Even so, Han Li was extremely cautious, not daring to take even a single breath.

As he watched his own figure descend from a hundred zhang, to seventy or eighty zhang, then thirty or forty zhang, and finally to just over ten zhang above the string of spirit dragon fruits, his heart naturally rose with tension.

There is no doubt that at the instant he plucked the spirit fruit, his body could no longer remain hidden, and the giant lizard and the giant would immediately detect him. What he needed to do next was how to preserve his own life.

His body hovered, as light as nothing, at a place within arm's reach of the spirit fruit; not only did he smell the faint fragrance emanating from the fruit, but he could also clearly see the tiny flood dragons beneath its skin.

Han Li did not rush to pick the fruit; instead, he flicked his wrist toward his storage bracelet, and instantly several items appeared in his hand.

Han Li pressed his lips together, then suddenly rubbed his hands together and flung them outward to both sides; several silver, gleaming spheres shot simultaneously toward the two massive creatures.

In the blink of an eye, he grabbed forward with one hand, and the string of vivid, dripping spirit fruit vanished instantly.

Immediately after his figure was revealed, he spread his wings behind him and flickered amidst the thunderous roar.

Two earth-shaking roars came one after another; a crimson shadow and several black strands almost simultaneously shot out from the nearby void at an unbelievable speed, piercing straight through Han Li's body.

But immediately, the "Han Li" dissipated and vanished—it was merely an afterimage.

His true body had already teleported out a moment earlier.

With a series of booming explosions, several silver-colored electric orbs, each about several mu in size, appeared on both sides; countless bowl-thick electric arcs flashed and darted wildly within them, even stirring up nearby hurricanes that shot into the sky, with continuous thunderclaps and explosions, as if everything were about to be swallowed whole.

The momentum was immense, as if heaven and earth were collapsing!
