Chapter 2556: What Did You Hook?

Before, there was no intention to let him leave; now, having suffered a great defeat, they need his help to seal this immortal crystal mine, making it even less possible to let him go.

Therefore, regarding the thoughts in his heart, this Heavenly Spirit Tribe spirit child naturally dared not reveal even a bit.

Being sensible, he didn't ask what had happened to this Demon God, nor did he mention the defeat, merely nodding obediently.

"Yes, shall we start now?"

"Hmm, let's do it now."

Upon hearing this, the Demon God nodded without the slightest hesitation and said, this matter should be done quickly, not delayed.

Who knows when those despicable Human Race will launch an attack; once they break in, acting then would be too late, wouldn't it?

In this situation, the Demon God no longer wants any schemes or anything else.

First seal this immortal crystal mine, keep the Human Race out, then we'll figure things out later.

Although this is so, it completely mismatches the belligerent nature of the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon, and even it feels a profound sense of humiliation.

But given the current situation, the humiliation can only be endured; who let them lose?

First endure it for a while, then look for a breakthrough.

Under the Demon God's gaze, this Heavenly Spirit Tribe spirit child nodded and then came to the front of the Mining Domain entrance.

Preparing to first seal this immortal crystal mine.

Anyway, the method to control the immortal crystal mine is in his hands; the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon couldn't learn it even if they wanted to.

Temporarily obey, then later look for a chance to escape.

Obviously I came to seek the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon's aid, but I never expected that now I'm about to drag myself into it as well.

This Heavenly Spirit Tribe spirit child's heart was a mix of five flavors, regretting deeply.

A misstep, a misstep; if given another chance, he would absolutely not come here again.

What's the point of cooperating with a bunch of useless fools; one battle and the Human Race beat them into this state.

Even now, they spare no effort to construct a prison for themselves, locking themselves inside just to preserve their lives; with this, what aid could you still expect from them?

Now this Heavenly Spirit Tribe spirit child only wants to leave, but must wait for an opportunity.

Just as this Heavenly Spirit Tribe spirit child was about to act, on the other side of the entrance, a Human Race detachment responsible for defense.

Among them, several people gathered together, one of whom was still holding a black large hook.

This hook isn't anything special; just find any Weapon Refiner and you can forge it. Moreover, I have mastered the hook technique through Xiūliàn to perfection, so it's not difficult.

It turned out that these few people gathered together mainly to discuss the matter of the hook great law of that day.

Earlier, Huang Lao, the Heavenly Family's patriarch, they were the first to practice Xiūliàn, and the results looked good.

Huang Lao hooked two leader‑grade ingredients in a row, seeing which everyone was envious.

After the battle ended, these few people proactively sought out Xu Jie, expressing their desire to learn that day's hook method.

In response, Xu Jie naturally wouldn't be stingy; this isn't some secret not to be passed on—anyone who wants to learn can.

On the spot, he took out a reproduced copy of the Hook Great Law and gave it to everyone.

Originally they also wanted a hook, but Xu Jie didn't have many hooks on him, so in the end he only gave one to a few people.

Have them find a Weapon Refiner to forge it according to this; if they have special ideas, they can also make minor adjustments.

Having obtained the method and the hook, everyone naturally began researching right away.

Now the research is more or less done; everyone gathered together to discuss and share experiences.

But as they were talking, suddenly a few people became interested, and someone suddenly spoke up.

"How about we give it a try?"

"Try?"

"Yeah, just casually throw a hook; if you hit, you hit; if you miss, just treat it as playing—anyway, there's no loss."

"Then let's try?"

"Try."

As they spoke, everyone's eyes lit up; seeing Huang Lao hook a leader‑grade Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon ingredient with one strike, who wouldn't be envious?

Now they've all learned it too; they really need to try a hook to get a feel for it.

Saying it and doing it, those few people are clearly doers, not just talkers.

The first to make a move was naturally the person in the center holding the large hook.

He learned the fastest; now that day's hook great law has reached the perfection level.

Seeing this, the others voluntarily made way for him, and he slowly began to swing the black large hook in his hand.

His sharp eyes fixed on the Mining Domain entrance ahead.

Although he couldn't see inside the entrance, nor did he know whether those panickedly fleeing Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon ingredients from earlier were still lingering at the entrance.

But giving it a try wouldn't hurt.

"Watch the hook!"

With a cold shout, the large hook in his hand shot out violently, like a black lightning bolt, and in the blink of an eye it had already sunk into the light gate of the entrance.

Watching the hook rush into the Mining Domain, the others also held their breath and focused, each filled with anticipation and a hint of nervousness.

After all, it was their first time playing with hooks, lacking experience, and they didn't know if they would gain anything.

But the next second, the person holding the hook suddenly shouted with an excited expression.

"I got it, I feel it—I've hooked something."

"Huh???"

Upon hearing this, the other few also became excited—could it really have succeeded?

"Be careful, hold steady, don't let it get away."

"Rest assured, it can't escape; once hooked by my hook, where would it run?"

Hearing this, the hook-holder wore a confident look; since it was already hooked, there was no reason to let it escape.

Following the technique of the Heavenly Hook Great Law, the hook-holder gave a hard yank on the iron chain.

Instantly, they felt whatever was on the other end of the hook being jerked out violently, just like pulling a fish.

As the chain retracted, a human figure was indeed hooked out from within the Mining Domain.

There really was something.

Seeing this, the others couldn't help but grin, 'Good, good, good—we succeeded on the first attempt; our luck is extraordinary.'

Thinking back, although Huang Lao had succeeded twice in a row, the Heavenly Family Ancestor had failed completely, gaining nothing.

In other words, they were stronger than the Heavenly Family Ancestor in the art of hooking.

Good, good, good.

In their hearts they repeatedly cheered; such good fortune—how could they not be happy?

The hook had been fully pulled out of the Mining Domain, but as the distance closed, one person staring at that black shadow grew increasingly puzzled.

At first they naturally thought they'd hooked an Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon ingredient, but a closer look showed the black shadow wasn't anything like that.

First, the build was wrong—much smaller, clearly visible; moreover, the physical features were completely different.

This damn thing is not an Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon ingredient.

At that moment, the person couldn't help but shout.

"What the hell did you hook up?"

Huh???

Hearing that, the others all stared intently, then their mouths twitched involuntarily.

"What is this? Where's my Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon ingredient? What did you hook up for me?"

Even the hook-holder now wore a strange expression, gazing at the thing before him with a complex look.
