Chapter 862: The Divine Object That Cannot Be Taken

~13 min read 2,462 words

But this kind of pill was a tiger-wolf medicine distributed by the Tiangong, which could squeeze out all life potential in a short time. They looked brave and fierce, but once the medicine wore off, the person would be paralyzed like mud, and even if they didn't die, they would be physically depleted, unable to recover for two or three years. He Chun looked at the last remaining Child-Devouring Ghoul and felt irritable.

Only three of the four Child-Devouring Ghoul Beasts he brought had come out, but the most powerful one had been slow to move; otherwise, the battle wouldn't be so passive now.

Under his urging, the Red Tiger launched a violent attack on the King of the Que Beasts with all its might, even ignoring its own safety.

This creature's claws and teeth were surprisingly sharp, capable of slicing even the King of the Que Beasts' cold ice armor. It was thrown away several times, but immediately turned back and pounced, its tiger mouth never leaving the King of the Que Beasts' neck and chest, and it could also spew black flames.

The King of the Que Beasts was almost pierced through the chest by its spine-tongue twice, and in a fit of anger, it roared several times. Cold ice also began to condense on its left palm, as if some weapon was taking shape.

But the Panlong Secret Realm was, after all, a desert climate, not its ice and snow home field, so the ice condensed slowly.

The Red Tiger seized the opportunity and spewed a mouthful of black flames, blinding the opponent's left eye! The King of the Que Beasts felt the pain and staggered back two big steps, clutching its eye.

It was restrained by the Red Tiger, and the pressure directly in front of the Tiangong team was greatly reduced, so they immediately squeezed toward the tomb.

Eight zhang left.

Six zhang left.

Every inch of progress was exchanged for human lives.

He Chun moved the ring finger of his left hand. His storage ring had a huge capacity, so putting down tons of supplies was no problem, and taking in that big ice lump was also a piece of cake.

As long as he forced back the swarming beast herd in front, he just needed to get close.

Just at this moment, the cold ice weapon in the King of the Que Beasts' left hand had finished condensing; it was a huge axe! Although the style was very primitive, it was bigger than a normal door panel, and it definitely had a sharp axe blade!

The Red Tiger pounced and bit again. The King of the Que Beasts pulled it down, not caring that the flesh and blood on its own neck was also torn off, and swung the ice axe with its left hand, chopping down fiercely!

It pinned the Red Tiger into the Tiangong team's formation, directly flattening an attendant.

The ice axe smashed into the Red Tiger's ribs, and everyone heard a crisp crackling sound.

No one knew how many of the Red Tiger's ribs were broken.

But its outer armor was truly hard; with the King of the Que Beasts' strength + the sharpness of the ice axe, it couldn't be split open for a while.

The King of the Que Beasts' temper flared up, and it swung the axe, smashing wildly.

Seizing this opportunity, He Chun finally flashed to the edge of the tomb, ignoring the surging beast herd around him.

He pressed one hand on the big ice lump and muttered, "Collect!"

The next instant—

There was no next instant; the giant ice remained motionless.

The sweat on He Chun's forehead poured down all at once.

He tried twice more, but the ice block and the things inside were still in place, motionless.

Collect, it couldn't be collected! Why? It clearly wasn't oversized or overweight!

Screams came from behind; two more guards were killed in action. In his anxiety, He Chun remembered one thing: storage rings couldn't hold living things, except for trees and eggs.

Could the Great Great Great Fanghu be a living thing?

Or was it that the contents of the Great Great Great Fanghu were too big and profound, exceeding the storage range of the storage ring? The most terrifying reality at the moment was that he had to grab the pot with his own hands to take it away! Just at this moment, two monsters fought their way here.

He Chun stepped aside, and the Red Tiger's back smashed into the solid ice. After all, it had broken several ribs, and its movements were far less agile than before. It hadn't climbed up yet when the King of the Que Beasts' ice axe slash arrived.

With a dull thud, a wound half a palm wide appeared on the Red Tiger's neck, black blood splattered, and it hissed when it sprayed onto the ice—

The power of the black flames in the blood had a corrosive effect on the solid ice.

Finally, the armor was broken and blood was seen. The King of the Que Beasts was greatly encouraged, pinning the Red Tiger down firmly with its big feet, and grabbing the giant axe for three consecutive strikes.

Each strike was fiercer than the last, accurately splitting the wound on the Red Tiger's neck.

Other Tiangong guards were outputting wildly behind it, but it didn't care.

The last axe strike finally broke the Red Tiger's neck bone, and the remaining force didn't diminish, leaving an axe mark four feet deep on the solid ice behind! The victorious King of the Que Beasts roared to the sky, pulled the giant axe out of the ice, and swept toward the battle formation.

The most powerful Red Tiger among the opponents was dead, and the rest looked like its food, easy to swallow one by one.

That Ghoul Beast that looked like a pufferfish kept spraying poisonous fire at it, attracting its attention, and only then did the King of the Que Beasts have time to deal with it.

Remembering the fight with the Red Tiger just now, this thing was also cowering in mid-air and shooting cold arrows. The King of the Que Beasts' anger rose from its heart, and it threw a few ice bullets over. Hetai hurriedly dodged, but the King of the Que Beasts waved its hand casually, and a gust of wind rolled it in front of the big snowman.

With a "plop," the King of the Que Beasts pinched it until it exploded! This explosion was violent, but the range was small. No one knew if Hetai had detonated itself, but it actually blew the caught-off-guard King of the Que Beasts more than ten zhang away.

He Chun took the opportunity to make a gesture to his disciple Fu Liang, who grabbed an explosive arrow and shot it into the ice crack according to his instructions.

The King of the Que Beasts had opened a large crack in the solid ice itself, and a large amount of the Red Tiger's black blood flowed into the crack, eroding deeper and deeper, turning the crack into a pit. Seeing that the erosion was more than half, He Chun naturally wouldn't let go of this opportunity.

This arrow was very accurate, going straight into the ice pit.

Immediately following a loud noise, the solid ice on the upper layer—

Was safe and sound.

Hard, the King of the Que Beasts' ice seeds were truly hard; even explosives couldn't blow them up.

Seeing this, everyone felt that there was no light before their eyes.

He Chun had no choice but to throw out two Divine Fire Talismans.

The Tiangong's talisman masters sealed a wisp of true fire from the Mountain Marsh Torch into the talisman to use against the enemy. The effect was very good, it was just that the finished products were too few.

He Chun had already thrown out four or five sheets while resisting the beast herd just now; these were the last two.

The reason why the Tiangong team could withstand wave after wave of attacks from the beast herd, besides their own powerful strength, was also because of the endless stream of magic tools, elixirs, talismans, and puppets assisting, fully demonstrating what it meant to be wealthy and imposing.

He Lingchuan in the distance watched with envy.

But in high-intensity combat, even the most abundant reserves would be exhausted. Even the treasures on He Chun's body were used up, so the Tiangong team was naturally already stretched thin.

It had to be said that the products from the Torch were as guaranteed as ever. The Earth Core True Fire burned everything. Once the two Divine Fire Talismans were released, the speed at which the solid ice melted was visible to the naked eye.

This was a contest between ice and fire.

The King of the Que Beasts, who had just climbed up from the ground, naturally wouldn't sit by and watch him set fires and cause explosions here. It actually gouged out its left eye, which had been mangled by the Red Tiger, and slapped it onto the giant axe.

The giant axe turned into a bright, clear ice-blue color.

Immediately afterward, it swung the giant axe and shook the ground three times in a row.

With the vibration point as the center, thick ice layers expanded rapidly in all directions each time.

The Que Beasts were like fish in water, but everyone in the Tiangong changed color.

If it were in the Beijia territory, this kind of large-scale indiscriminate divine ability attack would look astonishing in momentum, but in fact, it would have little impact on them; but this was the Panlong Secret Realm in the west of the Yuan Nation, and their numbers were small, and the Yuan power was exceptionally thin, not enough to protect themselves at all.

The Northern Imperial Kui Star battle formation bore the brunt. When the King of the Que Beasts' first wave of cold ice impact arrived, three Kui Star Stones shattered in response.

By the time the three rounds of impact ended, only the last two Kui Star Stones remained intact.

This formation had the ability to defend, and 70% of the cold ice impact was blocked by it, but the remaining 30% still fell on the Tiangong guards.

Two of them were exhausted and unable to respond, their protective magic tools exploded one after another, and they froze into ice sculptures within two or three breaths! The King of the Que Beasts itself didn't have it easy. After these three axe strikes were finished, its body had shrunk by two circles, it was bleeding all over, and its mouth and nose were overflowing with several wisps of ghostly light, which were sucked into the Great Great Great Fanghu.

Immediately afterward, it swung the giant axe and came up, sweeping across the Tiangong crowd.

The effect of the Divine Fire Talismans on the solid ice had also been exhausted.

It was only a talisman after all, not the Torch itself.

But the solid ice had been burned into a large hole, and the shoulder armor of the General Red was exposed.

There was hope! He Chun ignored his own injuries, rushed up in a stride, raised his heavy mace, and smashed and knocked it.

At the life-or-death moment, he forcibly raised his true power and used all his strength.

He Lingchuan in the distance could hear the astonishing momentum, which was actually not inferior to the King of the Que Beasts' cold ice impact.

With a clatter, ice fragments fell, and half of the General Red armor was exposed, already past the ribs.

He Chun wanted to raise the mace and knock again, but suddenly felt short of breath, and with a "puff," he vomited blood again.

This time the blood clot was black and mixed with a little minced meat.

The backlash of the lamp spirit's dissipation was still there, and he had consumed true power fighting the beast herd just now, plus he was now exerting his remaining strength, so these few strikes affected his internal injuries, causing him to black out and almost faint.

But he couldn't relax at this critical moment. He Chun forcibly raised a breath of true Qi, knocked two more times, and finally—

The Great Great Great Fanghu was also exposed.

He Chun was overjoyed and grabbed the spout of the pot.

He pulled, but it didn't move at all.

He pulled again, still motionless.

What was going on?

He looked down along the pot body and found that the Great Great Great Fanghu was not only protected by the General Red's armor, but that pair of gauntlets also gripped it tightly.

What was preventing him from seizing the pot... was it the solid ice or this suit of armor?

He couldn't see clearly, because the General Red's gauntlets were indeed still frozen in the ice.

Seeing the King of the Que Beasts turning toward here, He Chun was anxious and angry, and smashed the heavy mace wildly onto the General Red's gauntlets.

With a few "paps," ice fragments splashed.

This kind of force, let alone knocking ice, could knock down refined steel.

However, he neither knocked off the gauntlets nor knocked down the Great Great Great Fanghu.

On the contrary, ice began to form on the pot again.

The King of the Que Beasts' ice seeds had the ability to automatically grow and repair.

After the effect of the Divine Fire Talismans passed, in at most another half a cup of tea, this entire large ice lump would be able to grow back.

He Chun's only chance was to dig out both the armor and the pot and take them away.

With a "pop," the last two Kui Star Stones also shattered, and the Northern Imperial Kui Star battle formation was broken by the beast herd! The Tiangong team was scared out of their wits.

Their means were almost exhausted, and only four of them remained—not counting the unconscious attendant—while there were at least 140 Que Beasts left. The most desperate thing was that the King of the Que Beasts was still alive.

He Chun turned his head abruptly and threw a copper talisman to his disciple: "Activate the Small Mountain-Moving Formation."

The terrain in battle is often complex, so the Small Mountain-Moving Formation brought by the Tiangong was not drawn on the ground, but engraved on refined copper talisman plates, a set of two.

This was also the reason why the Tiangong team dared to go deep into the enemy formation; anyway, they had left a retreat, and if they couldn't beat them, they could still run.
