Chapter 555: Plastic Sisters (First update, requesting everything)

When Adai pulled out the Heart of the Earth, the Luo God Puppet, which had still been struggling, suddenly paused, and the intensity of its struggle decreased significantly.

Within the span of a few breaths, the Giant God Puppet stopped moving entirely.

For the Giant God Puppet, the Heart of the Earth was equivalent to a combination of a brain and a heart; even though it was a Demon King-level Giant God Puppet, without the Heart of the Earth, only death awaited it.

Adai carefully placed the Heart of the Earth in front of Li Zhangsheng; this oval-shaped Heart of the Earth was beating thump-thump, just like a heart.

The moment he touched the Heart of the Earth, Li Zhangsheng could feel the extremely abundant and Pure Earth Element energy contained within.

Li Zhangsheng hurriedly took out his largest Jade Box, which barely managed to contain the Heart of the Earth, and stored it in his Space Ring.

He had killed the Giant God Puppet, so Li Zhangsheng naturally possessed the right to dispose of the corpse.

Besides the Heart of the Earth, Li Zhangsheng also removed the two eyeballs of the Giant God Puppet.

These two eyeballs were entirely yellow, giving the impression of two gems the size of basketballs, faintly flickering with an earthy-yellow luster.

If some auxiliary materials were added, these two eyeballs from the Demon King-level Giant God Puppet had the potential to be crafted into a Top-Grade Treasure.

However, apart from the Heart of the Earth and the two eyeballs, Li Zhangsheng had no interest in the remaining materials.

Even though these were materials from a Demon King-level Giant God Puppet, the corpse as a whole would not sell for many Soul Crystals, and the key was that its size was truly too vast, far exceeding Hei Long Ha Li Ku Qi, leaving Li Zhangsheng with no place to put it.

After dealing with the Giant God Puppet, Luo Jingfei revealed a radiant smile; since this cave dwelling was guarded by a Demon King-level Giant God Puppet, it naturally could not be an ordinary one.

Luo Jingfei walked over to Li Zhangsheng in two or three steps, a map appearing in her hand; after carefully comparing it with the map, she finally locked onto a small hill to the side.

During the great battle just now, this hill had never been affected; when the Giant God Puppet was fighting, it had always intentionally or unintentionally avoided this hill.

After a search, Luo Jingfei found the entrance to the cave dwelling, which had been hidden by a Restriction.

With the help of the concealment Restriction, the entrance to the cave dwelling looked the same as the surrounding rock wall, but as soon as one reached out to touch it, one would discover there was no tactile sensation at all; instead, one's hand would pass directly through.

After breaking the concealment Restriction, what appeared before the three of them was a layer of Ten-Colored Restriction over a meter thick, which seemed to contain astonishing defensive power.

Seeing such a thick Restriction, Luo Jingfei was not alarmed but delighted; the stronger the Restriction here, the higher the status of the dwelling's owner usually was, and it very likely contained an astonishing legacy.

Chirp~

Luo Jingfei summoned a Leader-level Red Li Bird, and under her command, the Red Li Bird spat out a scorching Flame Pillar, which landed on the Ten-Colored Restriction in an instant.

Pop~

When the two touched, the Ten-Colored Restriction produced wisps of ripples, and Luo Jingfei felt a surge of joy, thinking that if she continued, she could wear down this layer of Restriction.

Unfortunately, Luo Jingfei was destined to be disappointed.

After the Flame Pillar vanished, the earthy-yellow light screen suddenly brightened, as if it had received a replenishment, instantly returning to its peak state.

The only benefit was that there was no counterattack as Luo Jingfei had imagined.

Seeing such a scene, Luo Jingfei's heart sank, and at the same time, she began to continuously summon her Demon Pets.

Soon, Luo Jingfei had summoned all of her Demon Pets, which were three Leader-level and four Leader-level Demon Pets.

Li Zhangsheng checked their data and found not a single top-tier Demon Pet; he immediately judged Luo Jingfei's strength—among Fifth-tier Beastmasters, Luo Jingfei was at most at an upper-middle level.

"Attack!"

Under Luo Jingfei's command, the seven Demon Pets took their positions and launched long-range offensives one after another.

In an instant, seven different types of energy landed on the Ten-Colored Restriction simultaneously.

Under the bombardment of the seven Demon Pets, the Ten-Colored Restriction rippled in layers, and its luster was clearly dimmed somewhat.

But before the seven Demon Pets could launch a second round of offensives, the Ten-Colored Restriction brightened again and instantly returned to its peak state.

Luo Jingfei could not help but frown, but she did not call a halt, letting the seven Demon Pets continue to bombard the Restriction.

According to her experience, even if she could not break the Restriction quickly, the energy of the Restriction was limited; as long as the energy replenishing the Restriction was exhausted, no matter how strong the Restriction was, it would be broken sooner or later.

Soon, a quarter of an hour passed.

Luo Jingfei's seven Demon Pets were panting heavily; in the span of a quarter of an hour, they had continuously launched offensives without getting any rest.

Yet, Luo Jingfei did not get the result she wanted.

This predecessor's cave dwelling seemed to store endless Earth Element energy; under the all-out attacks of the seven Demon Pets, the Ten-Colored Restriction could return to its peak state in an instant every single time, never once interrupted.

Without Luo Jingfei's permission, from beginning to end, Li Zhangsheng and Ning Bizhen had been watching from the sidelines.

At this moment, Ning Bizhen suddenly said: "Zhangsheng, have you noticed that this Restriction is constantly drawing energy from the vicinity and seems to be connected to the nearby ley lines? Based on my experience, there is very likely a heavy treasure at the core of this Restriction; otherwise, it should have been broken long ago."

Li Zhangsheng sensed it carefully; Ning Bizhen was right. The ten types of energy in the surroundings were continuously converging into the predecessor's cave dwelling, and the nearby ley lines were also clearly connected to the predecessor's cave dwelling, strengthening the Restriction's defense.

"According to my deduction, there are only two ways: either cut off the energy supply or break the Restriction in an instant."

To cut off the energy supply, unless one possessed a Strange Treasure like the Yuanhe Ten-Color Pearl, it would be impossible; even with the Yuanhe Ten-Color Pearl, it would be impossible to completely cut off the energy supply, at most achieving a weakening effect.

As for the Cangxuan Earth-Fixing Pearl, the Fire-Calming Pearl, and the Water-Calming Pearl, they could only absorb a single attribute, and their effects were not as good as the Yuanhe Ten-Color Pearl.

As for breaking the Restriction in an instant, with Luo Jingfei's strength, it was naturally impossible to achieve, but judging from the strength of the Ten-Colored Restriction, Li Zhangsheng and Ning Bizhen could definitely break it if they joined forces.

However, this would require Luo Jingfei to speak up, and as for what price would need to be paid, it went without saying.

Luo Jingfei still did not give up and began to command the seven Demon Pets to destroy the entire hill, intending to find a weak point in the Restriction.

Not long after, this small hill disappeared, replaced by a Ten-Colored Restriction covering a hundred meters.

What made Luo Jingfei despair was that no matter how she observed, she could not find any weak points, and she still could not see the scene inside.

Luo Jingfei did not give up; she did not want to give up more benefits and had to continue commanding the seven Demon Pets to keep launching offensives.

Soon, another half hour passed; even though the seven Demon Pets were doing their best, the Ten-Colored Restriction remained in its peak state, and the energy inside gave one the feeling of being inexhaustible and bottomless.

"Miss Luo, if there is nothing else, we should be heading back!"

Li Zhangsheng was getting a bit impatient; he could not just wait here forever, so he began to use retreat as a means of advance.

Without their help, Luo Jingfei would definitely not be able to open the Ten-Colored Restriction and thus would not be able to obtain the legacy of this predecessor's cave dwelling; she also could not go to fetch reinforcements—not to mention whether she would be beaten to the punch by others on the way to fetch reinforcements, she was also afraid of being backstabbed.

In this way, with no other path to choose, Luo Jingfei had to, and could only, beg Li Zhangsheng and his companion.

Luo Jingfei turned around and subconsciously stared at Ning Bizhen, hoping her good friend would stay behind.

"Jingfei, we still have matters to attend to; it is not appropriate to stay here for long!"

Ning Bizhen followed her husband's lead; although she felt a bit embarrassed, she still resolutely decided to follow Li Zhangsheng's lead.

Luo Jingfei felt so helpless; they were merely "plastic sisters" to begin with, otherwise she would not have traded a piece of Secret Silver for one action from Ning Bizhen.

"How about this: as long as you help me break the Restriction, I will increase your share by another ten percent, no more than that!"

To prevent Li Zhangsheng and Ning Bizhen from making an exorbitant demand, Luo Jingfei shut the door on any further negotiation.

Luo Jingfei's heart ached to death; this predecessor's cave dwelling had already demonstrated its value, and even just a twenty percent share was definitely a significant figure.

There was no other way; besides them, she could not think of any other solution.

In Luo Jingfei's eyes, the character of Li Zhangsheng and Ning Bizhen was absolutely top-notch; if they really wanted to double-cross her, how could she possibly be their match, or even have a chance to escape?

Li Zhangsheng and Ning Bizhen exchanged a glance, and finally, Li Zhangsheng spoke: "Since you are a friend of Bizhen, I cannot refuse to give you face, so let it be decided this way. Aixi, Adai, Kailan, go up and help!"

Li Zhangsheng immediately took action, directing his three Demon Pets to join the ranks of those attacking the ten-colored Restriction.

Aixi let out a tiger roar and spat out a cyan beam of light.

Adai rushed in front of the ten-colored Restriction and swung a claw.

Dense Forest Stars!

Kailan condensed a large amount of Wood Energy, and countless green seeds were swarmed and scattered into mid-air.

Under the condensation of Wood Energy, these "seeds" transformed into illusory large trees, smashing straight down toward the ten-colored Restriction below.

The might of Li Zhangsheng's three Demon Pets exceeded the sum of Luo Jingfei's seven Demon Pets.

Ning Bizhen did not slack off either, directing the Cold Jade Rabbit in her arms to spit out a blast of Ice Breath.

Almost at the same time, over a dozen attacks landed in unison on the ten-colored Restriction.

Boom—

A thunderous roar resounded through heaven and earth, as if an earthquake had occurred; the nearby ground shook and swayed, the momentum truly astonishing.

In an instant, the ten-colored Restriction could no longer be maintained; it was forcibly shattered in one go, turning into a large cloud of materialized ten-colored energy that quickly dissipated, revealing the cave dwelling entrance inside.

With such a large commotion, even though they were currently in the desolate and secluded Jushi Ridge, it would still attract quite a few people to come and investigate.

Clatter—

Suddenly, a sound like small pearls falling onto a jade plate rang out, and a glowing orb fell to the ground.

If there were no surprises, this must be the treasure that suppressed the ten-colored Restriction.

Today's goal: three, pigs, verified!
