Chapter 273

Hunter World Volume 1, Chapter 276: Suicide Attack. In the ruins of Weisi, a giant turret stood upon the ground. This turret was covered in countless pitch-black gun barrels and cannon muzzles. Among these, the most conspicuous was the one in the center, which was a full meter thick. At the front of this meter-wide muzzle, a magic array shimmered with magical light. Behind the turret, a humanoid phantom stood, and to its left, center, and right were three magic arrays. The two on the left and right were each twice the size of the one on the giant cannon muzzle, while the center array was twice the size of the left and right ones combined.

"I want you to die." Xia Lina's angry voice emanated from the giant turret. That's right, this massive turret was formed by what Xia Lina called the Destruction Mode. When her angry voice came out, it gave Jie Xi quite a fright.

"Earth-Walking Beast, come back quickly and protect me." Jie Xi was truly afraid this time, ordering the Earth-Walking Beast to return and protect him, completely disregarding the Giant Rock Demon's instruction for the beast to assist it.

"Roar~~~" The Earth-Walking Beast executed Jie Xi's order perfectly. Furthermore, since Jie Xi's life was now under threat, it erupted with all its power and charged toward him.

"Don't let it pass." Realizing the Earth-Walking Beast's intention, Zhuge Xun immediately shouted and charged at the beast, quickly slashing at it to prevent it from protecting Jie Xi.

"Roar~~~" With another long roar, a Giant Rock Man immediately charged toward Zhuge Xun, using its body to take the blow head-on to buy time for the Earth-Walking Beast.

"Roar~~~" Another long roar, but this time the source of the sound was not the Earth-Walking Beast, but the Giant Rock Man that had taken Zhuge Xun's strike head-on.

"Not good, it's going to self-destruct." "Be careful." Hearing the Giant Rock Man's long roar, Ye Qingyu and Nangong Miss Mengli seemed to sense something and shouted loudly.

"Not good, kid, it's going to self-destruct. Quick, activate the Knight's Heart." Master Shi, the sword spirit of the Knight Stone Sword, also sensed the massive energy building up inside the Giant Rock Man and immediately spoke to Zhuge Xun via telepathy.

"Knight's Heart!" Zhuge Xun shouted, erupting with all his mind power to directly activate the Knight's Heart. Massive energy gushed from his heart like a spring, flooding his entire body. However, the power released by the Knight's Heart was so immense that even after filling Zhuge Xun's body, it continued to pour out, eventually leaking from his skin to form a black gaseous shadow that enveloped him.

Boom—a massive explosion rang out. The tremendous energy erupted instantly, destroying everything in its path. The flowers, grass, and trees along the way were like ashes left after a fire, swept away by a gale and instantly dissipated.

Of course, Zhuge Xun was only about half a meter away from the self-destructing Giant Rock Man, right at the center of the explosion. Thus, he was instantly covered by the explosive energy. The massive energy unleashed a frenzied destructive force, constantly trying to tear Zhuge Xun apart. Although he was protected by the black gaseous shadow and was not torn to shreds in the violent explosive energy, the immense impact still sent him flying heavily. After crashing through several large trees and landing, he was dragged for over ten meters along the ground before coming to a stop, finally spitting out a mouthful of blood and collapsing to the ground.

"Little Xunzi!" Ye Qingyu and Nangong Miss Mengli shouted in unison.

"Roar~~~" With another long roar, the Earth-Walking Beast saw that the Giant Rock Man's self-destruction was effective. It immediately let out a long roar and controlled two more Giant Rock Men, charging them toward Ye Qingyu and Nangong Miss Mengli respectively, intending to attack them again through self-destruction.

"Don't even think about it. Extreme Cold Freeze." Seeing the Giant Rock Men charging toward her and Nangong Miss Mengli, Ye Qingyu immediately realized the Earth-Walking Beast wanted to use self-destruction to attack them. She immediately channeled her mind power, converting it into two streams of demon spirit power that transformed into two ice storms, blasting toward the charging Giant Rock Men.

Crack, crack, crack~~~, the ice storms swept through. The two stone giants attempting to self-destruct were instantly frozen into ice sculptures, unable to move a single step, and finally shattered into fragments.

"Freezing Limit." Following closely behind Ye Qingyu, Nangong Miss Mengli's voice also rang out. Subsequently, the temperature, which had just risen slightly, plummeted again. A wall of extreme cold magic appeared out of thin air and flew rapidly toward the two Giant Rock Men behind Ye Qingyu, scanning over them like a scanner before disappearing not far away.

Crack, crack, crack~~~, although the Freezing Limit did not erupt with violent explosions or sounds like other magic, the two Giant Rock Men struck by it, like the previous two, quickly turned into ice sculptures. The violent power that had just appeared inside their bodies was instantly cooled by the extreme cold temperature of the Freezing Limit, and they finally shattered completely.

It turned out the Earth-Walking Beast wasn't just using two stone giants to self-destruct, but four—two in front and two behind, the front two in the open and the back two in the shadows. If the two in the open were discovered and destroyed, the two behind would attack again when Ye Qingyu and Nangong Miss Mengli let their guard down. This was equivalent to a double insurance policy. If it hadn't been for Nangong Miss Mengli's sensing magic, they might have really fallen for the Earth-Walking Beast's trap.

The four stone giants gradually turned into ice shards and fragments. Ye Qingyu and Nangong Miss Mengli successfully neutralized the Earth-Walking Beast's attack. Of course, this also bought time for the Earth-Walking Beast, which successfully reached Jie Xi's side.

When Ye Qingyu and Nangong Miss Mengli reacted and wanted to chase the Earth-Walking Beast, they were stopped by Master Lian to treat Zhuge Xun.

"You did very well, Earth-Walking Beast. As long as you help me defend against her attacks, after I get out, I will definitely speak to that lord and have him give you more Saint's Favors, allowing you to ascend again and become a Rank 2 Mind User, or even a Rank 3 Mind User. When that time comes, we will kill everyone else together, inherit the legacy of Weisi, become Spirit Users, or even Saints, and help that lord become a god, finally roaming the Hunter Continent together with him." Seeing the Earth-Walking Beast arrive at his side, Jie Xi immediately hid behind it and said, his words filled with fanatical worship.

"Roar~~~" Hearing Jie Xi's words, the Earth-Walking Beast's originally crimson eyes seemed to reveal an expression of excitement and worship. It let out a long roar and activated earth-type magic to form a massive circular earth shield, protecting both Jie Xi and itself.
