It was then that the Baroness collapsed on the ground, gasping for air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t space out, there could be more!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Qian was coldly reminding her at that moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before his words had faded, the sounds of two more landings came, and two dark figures jumped down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I knew it, such a loud scream earlier, if there were other monsters, they would definitely be attracted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the two dark figures that landed, one had the same Armor model, but holding a round hammer that seemed particularly heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other wore a coat similar to that of a Bishop, but its body was now swollen into a ball. With a long Scepter in hand, it was very much like a Fatty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only that, but its body was wet all over and covered with large black areas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the new Armor landed, it flung its hammer directly at the Baroness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, with Fu Qian’s warning, the Baroness swiftly regained awareness, narrowly dodging the hammer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That hammer strike helped her fully regain her senses. Her arms waved continuously, trapping the opponent within circles of halos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Qian no longer had time to pay attention to her because the Fatty was targeting him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fatty held the Scepter aloft, and thick shadows began to converge above it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a sound, a basin-sized black sphere was hurled at Fu Qian’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s best not to let it hit, that was Fu Qian’s first intuition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luckily, it wasn’t flying fast, and Fu Qian quickly dodged to the side. The sphere smashed into the stone wall nearby, corroding a large area instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whew!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, the Fatty, having missed its initial strike, ran straight toward Fu Qian, flinging its Scepter fiercely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are all mages close-combat fighters these days?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that the Scepter was also covered with a black shadow, Fu Qian once again dodged, refusing to take the blow head-on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, a pale dragon’s head appeared out of thin air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking hits passively was never our style.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fatty missed its attack and paused for a moment, Fu Qian decisively unleashed his full power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surging transparent breath instantly hit the Fatty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fatty stood still, and immediately after, its body had a violent reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like being filled with boiled pitch, its body surface churned with large bubbles, its figure swelling into various shapes, its skin turning almost transparent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing something amiss, Fu Qian quickly picked up the shield of the Armor from before and held it in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, the Fatty’s body expanded to its limit, then exploded like a balloon, with ink-like body fluid splattering in all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the impact subsided, Fu Qian tossed the shield aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gilded surface of the shield had been corroded with holes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, due to the shield’s large size, not a drop had splashed onto him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other side was much more disheveled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Baroness had naturally seen everything on Fu Qian’s side, but unfortunately, she was busy dealing with the Armor and was not so free to act.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, sensing the bad situation, she barely enticed the Armor to turn its back towards the explosion, using its body to block the blast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, another pale dragon’s head appeared, and the surging breath hit the Armor’s back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of a heavy hammer hitting the ground echoed, and the latter slowly stopped moving, then disintegrated and scattered on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the inside of the Armor warily, the Baroness found nothing else coming out. She took a long breath, her complexion extremely pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The successive unexpected battles had been greatly taxing on her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is there a problem?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Qian stepped forward to ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After seeing that reaction to the tar pit, even a fool could tell that she knew something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After taking several deep breaths, the Baroness looked up at Fu Qian with a voice that was nearly a sob.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They have come!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the first time he had seen this heroic woman show such a demeanor, and curiosity surged within Fu Qian as he pointed to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you mean by ‘they’?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That horde of monsters that destroys everything… I never imagined they would finally find this place.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Baroness murmured as she looked at the corroding pit on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What kind of monsters are they, to be so exaggerated?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Indescribable…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The despair in the Baroness’s eyes seemed tangible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you know why the first group of people migrated here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I once heard that they were not fleeing war or plague, but monsters that could bring endless chaos and distortion.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Each of these monsters was so powerful that it caused despair, capable of corroding and distorting everything, even inanimate objects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s said that they could rend your soul by merely looking at you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even their very names are a pollution, bringing misfortune to those who know them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A long time ago… the outside world had already been destroyed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Baroness’s voice sounded like she was in a trance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now they have found this place… Even though the way in was destroyed immediately, they still came…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So this place was like The Peach Blossom Spring?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Learning this secret history for the first time, Fu Qian thought to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If what the Baroness said was true, then this world was essentially an apocalyptic wasteland.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now it seems that the reason this place was abandoned might not have been solely due to rampant natural disasters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps they had already noticed the signs and decided to leave decisively.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Baroness slowly gathered her thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When I saw the Pustule Stone, I had a very bad feeling, and it turns out that the worst situation has happened.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait a minute!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After muttering to herself for a while, the Baroness suddenly exclaimed and stood up quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Pustule Stone appeared in the town, which would mean—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We must hurry back to tell the Priest about this!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So this substance is the Pus of Man?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Qian looked around at the corroded pits and recalled his mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this substance was the Pus of Man, the volume of his work could far exceed expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just in this vicinity alone, there were no fewer than three infected targets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And with most of this area covered in ice and snow, were there other infected ones within?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was completely uncertain—was he expected to dig them out one by one to check?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was the true nature of this task akin to the Foolish Old Man Moving the Mountains!?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Qian felt thorough annoyance at this thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s time to set off!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a goal in mind, the Baroness quickly rallied her spirits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she was about to move, she suddenly remembered the purpose of this visit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Right, is the key you carry reacting at all?”\u003C\u002Fp>",1240,"2026-06-03T07:50:25.892Z","2026-06-03T07:50:30.689Z",1,"novelbin.me","f493c4b8a4d38a971a57aba31638fecfc6eb63502d3737dcd635907e7b296742","facing-an-ancient-god-for-a-year-chapter-146","facing-an-ancient-god-for-a-year-chapter-144",2389,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffacing-an-ancient-god-for-a-year-cover.jpg"]
