Chapter 708

~11 min read 2,157 words

Of course, he didn't know that the original array eye itself was actually an ancient magic treasure called the "Changjin Ball." The god instructed the Tiangong to modify it as an array eye to house the Spider Immortal's discarded shell and reflect the star map. This was a unique item.

The backup array eye was a replica of the Changjin Ball by the Tiangong; although its appearance and function were quite similar, it lacked the most important characteristics of the Changjin Ball.

With the help of the Swallow Return movement technique, his movement in the crack was no slower than a monkey. At this time, the fire person on his shoulder also came to its senses, understood what he was doing, and kept cheering him on: "Hurry, hurry, I can already see the Suspension Bucket Stone."

Talking nonsense with eyes open. He Lingchuan cast a disdainful look at it.

However, the crack created by Qu Ju's dozens of large fireballs was truly deep. He crawled forward another three zhang and saw a large piece of grayish-white giant rock.

"This is the Suspension Bucket Stone!" Qu Ju said pleasantly surprised. "Dig it out…… hey wait!"

It jumped onto the Suspension Bucket Stone ahead of time and touched it twice, as if sensing it carefully, and then said to He Lingchuan, "Up, up! There is still space above this!"

Up? He Lingchuan continued to crawl up and indeed saw something as if it were inside the glaze.

He pulled out the Floating Life Blade and dug hard, and glazed fragments fell down, and the thing hidden inside became clearer.

"Floating Stone?" He Lingchuan was overjoyed; he didn't expect to find the storage cabin for the Floating Stone.

This crystal shone with beautiful light, purple, blue, red, and green, looking especially dreamy at night.

But He Lingchuan knew that once this thing was dug out, it wouldn't be romantic at all—

Both the array eye of the Spirit-Gathering Array and the floating island relied on Floating Stones to replenish energy for the Suspension Bucket Stone so they could hang in the sky. Therefore, a storage cabin for Floating Stones would be set up on the Suspension Bucket Stone of every floating device.

Digging this thing out was much simpler than digging the Suspension Bucket Stone.

He Lingchuan first dug out a few of the largest ones and threw them into his storage ring, and only then did he rake them out.

The Floating Stones fell down with a rustle.

These things themselves wouldn't float; only by being injected into the Suspension Bucket Stone could they take effect.

The Floating Stones that the heroes of Lingxu City had entered the Fu Realm to fight for and worked hard to bring back were wasted by him just like that.

Just at this moment, the little fire person suddenly screamed: "Watch out behind!"

Behind? He Lingchuan dodged, his peripheral vision catching a shadow.

He then dodged to the side again, feeling a breeze brush past his cheek.

Huh, why is it that monster!

No, the body size is two sizes smaller, about the same size as He Lingchuan.

That large Zhi Beast could stand over a zhang tall, but it couldn't squeeze into such a narrow space. And it was probably fighting fiercely with the Spider Immortal right now, so how could it come down to find him? Hmm, it seems there are two monsters, one big and one small, with basically the same appearance.

No wonder he saw that monster as having two tails earlier; it turned out the small one was lying on the big one's back.

This thing changed direction extremely fast, lunging and then turning back, just in time to meet He Lingchuan raising his left hand, a sleeve arrow pointing directly at its left eye!

As a result, this thing knew the danger and dodged again.

He Lingchuan secretly thought it was a pity; although it was a refined gold sleeve arrow crafted by the Songyang Prefecture, the distance was no more than two feet, and the attack power couldn't be increased.

However, he also seized the opportunity, raised his foot, and kicked it on the shoulder, making it stagger. Such an exceptionally agile opponent often didn't have very strong strength and was easily led astray by him.

At such times, He Lingchuan wouldn't hold back; even a giant rock would be kicked and cracked on the spot by him. However, when he kicked this monster, he felt his toe ache faintly.

Damn, so hard! Was this guy made of refined steel? At this time, the monster's tail rose with the momentum, stabbing directly at He Lingchuan's heart.

Compared to humans, it had five limbs to fight with, and its tail could actually bloom, shooting out a black needle, which happened to stick on the mirror.

"Ding" sound.

He Lingchuan's prediction was extremely accurate; he didn't dodge but backhanded with his blade and chopped off its tail!

Fortunately, the Floating Life Blade was sharp and unstoppable; if it were an ordinary sword, it probably wouldn't even leave a white mark on the monster.

It hissed in pain.

He Lingchuan also let out a painful howl.

It turned out that the pustules on the monster's body would suddenly burst during the battle, and the light green pus inside splashed out with the momentum; a few drops penetrated his protective aura and landed on him, while others dissipated in the air, hurting anyone who touched them.

His clothes were immediately etched with several holes, fortunately, the spider silk inner armor inside prevented it from spreading.

But the skin exposed outside wasn't so lucky; a blood hole was etched on the back of his hand, the edges turning black, deep to the bone.

If it rotted any further, he wouldn't be able to hold the blade at all.

In such a narrow space, dealing with such an agile opponent was truly difficult.

He Lingchuan gritted his teeth, turned his wrist, and threw a fragrant ball at the monster.

It didn't know what this was and cautiously avoided it, but the fragrant ball exploded on the glazed rock beside it, and an indescribable foul odor immediately filled the entire space!

Usually, creatures with a keen sense of smell couldn't be immune to this foul odor attack. Even if He Lingchuan held his breath in advance, he felt his eyes stinging a bit.

However, this monster didn't care at all; instead, it stopped and took two deep breaths, and even opened its mouth……

Its face couldn't make any expression, but He Lingchuan just felt it was quite intoxicated.

Taking this opportunity, he quickly swallowed a Flying Head Gu.

This kind of gu insect was obtained from Sun Fuping, who had used it to deal with He Lingchuan in the Panlong ruins. The Flying Head Gu would suck the essence of human brains, but after being full and digesting for two months, it turned into a great tonic that could be swallowed, especially fast in recovering blood and energy.

He Lingchuan rarely used it, but now his right hand holding the blade was injured, seriously affecting his performance.

This monster was intoxicated for less than two breaths before remembering its mission and lunging at He Lingchuan again, and that speed was also amazing.

Since the Swallow Return movement technique was successful and he had gained the blessing of true power, He Lingchuan rarely encountered an opponent faster and more flexible than him.

But this thing was fast, unlike a creature of the human world.

Clearly, it and the big guy above might be mother and child monsters, caught by the Heavenly God and trained together into Zhi Beasts.

The little fire person on He Lingchuan's shoulder was anxious and scratching its ears: "Hurry up and clear out the Floating Stones, hurry, hurry!"

Success was right in front of him, but it just couldn't reach it!

He Lingchuan fought hard, and even exhaling and shouting was difficult: "Why don't you do it yourself?" The terrain in this narrow crack was terrible, and the opponent's occasional rapid attacks were like a woodpecker's frequency; he didn't know what talent it was, and not being gouged with a few more blood holes was already enough to be clever.

"If I could dig, why would I need you!" The little fire person was miserable.

After the Spirit-Gathering Array restarted, it couldn't destroy Xushan buildings anymore; otherwise, this array eye would have been knocked down by it long ago, and there would be no need for He Lingchuan to dig and dig?

The monster lunged again.

Fast against fast, He Lingchuan also began to get used to its frequency, and seeing its shoulder joint move, he raised his shield in advance. This hit just happened to smash into its chin, knocking its head to one side.

The monster was furious, jumping back and forth in the rock crack, looking for a suitable angle to attack.

When it lunged again, He Lingchuan changed the angle while holding the shield, and the mirror-smooth shield surface happened to reflect its whole body.

The monster looked at itself in the mirror and was stunned.

It seemed there were many of its kind in the mirror, three, four, five, six…… densely packed in a row, all calling at it incessantly.

The "Soul-Taking" talent of the Soul-Taking Mirror finally seized the opportunity to activate, and it called to He Lingchuan: "Hurry, I can't fix it for long!" Simple or confused creatures were the mirror's favorite targets.

Floating Life swept over, flashing with cold light.

The monster actually instinctively jumped back two steps.

Floating Life cut off half of its skull above the ear, and black blood splashed.

At this time, several howls suddenly came from above.

That was the roar of the mother monster being trapped; it couldn't beat the demon immortal.

The little monster with half a head missing didn't die immediately but screamed and ran toward the top.

Mother and child (father and child?) were connected at heart; this emotion exceeded the mandatory instructions given to it by the Tiangong.

This thing had strong vitality. He Lingchuan didn't pursue it but turned around and tried his best to clear the Floating Stones. This was his primary goal.

Ten more pieces……

Five pieces……

Gone.

The last Floating Stone left the cabin, and He Lingchuan felt his body lighten.

The energy was exhausted, and the array eye fell on the spot without a word.

It spun while falling, at least turning three hundred and sixty degrees twice.

Success! The little fire person shouted with joy: "I knew you could do it, you could do it! I really didn't misjudge you!"

It didn't believe the Tiangong could have a third or fourth backup array eye.

It's not like nesting dolls.

He Lingchuan panted and said: "I'm going to fall to my death!"

He was spinning with the array eye and was about to fall into the deep ravine.

Zhu Xiuer must be fine, but him, it was hard to say.

The little fire person laughed: "With me here, you can't die even if you want to!"

Red light erupted below, and a giant palm lifted up, catching the array eye steadily! Qu Ju had come, and it had manifested its true form.

Zhu Xiuer's demon immortal body was already four zhang tall, but compared to this giant monster below, it was as petite as a toy.

Taking advantage of this time, He Lingchuan quickly crawled out of the crack to find Zhu Xiuer.

Only to see that the Zhi Beast had already been wrapped in spider silk seven layers inside and eight layers outside, almost unable to move.

The little Zhi Beast was frantically attacking Zhu Xiuer in a hurry, but it couldn't do anything about the demon immortal body.

It couldn't break the defense at all.

Finally, Zhu Xiuer rolled the big Zhi Beast a few times and wrapped it into a constantly squirming large cocoon. This was the spider demon's specialty, and she did it with great proficiency.

The little Zhi Beast was hissing in a hurry, and when it turned its head and saw He Lingchuan, it lunged at him again.

The brain after modification was not good to begin with, and it panicked again, lunging and biting at any living thing it saw.

This time He Lingchuan was calm and threw a stone ball at it.

A black stone ball like an egg, but covered with dark red cracks on the surface.

The monster caught it casually and was about to throw it away, but the stone ball suddenly exploded, turning into a fire snake and wrapping around its arm.

That was truly a fire snake, completely composed of molten lava, and the snake body even had magma flowing; it melted a hole as soon as it landed.

The monster wanted to shake it off, but how could it?
