Chapter 734: Treasures in the Underground Cavern (Second update, requesting all)

"Defeat them first, then we'll talk!"

Li Zhangsheng made his decision; under the wary gazes of the Wangliang, Aixi and the Crown Sunlight Luan lunged toward them.

As for the Spirit-Devouring Mouse, it poked its head out from Li Zhangsheng's embrace, looking at the scene with curiosity.

The Demon King-level Wangliang was naturally the leader of this group of Wangliang; seeing this, it signaled the remaining Wangliang to fend off Aixi, while it took the initiative to charge toward the Crown Sunlight Luan.

The Crown Sunlight Luan did not activate the Great Sun Projection trait; seeing the Wangliang leader charging at it, red and white flames suddenly emerged on its body surface. Propelled by the flames, its speed surged significantly, and it crashed head-on into the leader.

Wangliang are known for their trickery, and the Demon King-level Wangliang was no exception; the moment the Crown Sunlight Luan collided with it, a strong sense of crisis welled up in its heart.

Boom—

In an instant, the two collided, and the flames clinging to the Crown Sunlight Luan's body surface erupted, enveloping a radius of several dozen meters.

Unexpectedly, a piece of wood had replaced the Demon King-level Wangliang at some unknown moment, bearing the brunt of the attack.

This was the Grafting skill; when encountering danger, one can use a plant to replace oneself and take the damage without anyone noticing.

After successfully evading the Crown Sunlight Luan's offensive, the Demon King-level Wangliang quickly condensed a green light sphere over ten meters in diameter and smashed it toward the Crown Sunlight Luan.

The Crown Sunlight Luan did not dodge, instead quickly condensing an Explosive Fireball the size of a house, which instantly collided with the green light sphere.

Rumble—

The moment they made contact, the Explosive Fireball detonated, causing the green light sphere to collapse instantly and turn into a powerful shockwave that swept through the surroundings.

Because its physique was too petite, the Demon King-level Wangliang was sent flying backward by the impact of the shockwave.

Unlike the Demon King-level Wangliang, the Crown Sunlight Luan had a massive physique and remained unmoved amidst the shockwave.

The Crown Sunlight Luan seized this fleeting opportunity, hurriedly opened its Bird Beak, and gathered countless red and white flames, spraying out a thick Flame Pillar.

Seeing that it could not dodge, the Demon King-level Wangliang could only condense a rich green protective barrier, wrapping itself in all directions.

When the two made contact, the green barrier fluctuated and twisted violently, giving the impression that it was about to collapse.

Pop—

In the blink of an eye, the green barrier was brute-forced open by the Flame Pillar, which then enveloped the Demon King-level Wangliang.

Squeak—

From within the exploding flames came the sharp, miserable shrieks of the Demon King-level Wangliang.

The Demon King-level Wangliang naturally could not be defeated so easily, but even though most of the damage was offset by the green barrier and the Guard Mystery, it still suffered non-trivial injuries.

Furthermore, the red and white flames were like maggots on a bone, continuing to burn on the Demon King-level Wangliang's body.

Even though the Demon King-level Wangliang used energy to dispel them, it could not completely extinguish the flames in an instant.

It was also at this moment that the Crown Sunlight Luan swooped down, its sharp Bird Beak pecking toward the Demon King-level Wangliang.

Under these circumstances, the Demon King-level Wangliang had no choice but to abandon the idea of dispelling the flames; enduring the pain of being scorched, it slapped the ground.

In an instant, dozens of vines drilled out from underground; some rushed toward the Crown Sunlight Luan, while others wrapped around the Demon King-level Wangliang and flung it forcefully toward the sky on the other side.

Obstructed by the vines, the Crown Sunlight Luan's speed was affected to a certain extent, allowing the Demon King-level Wangliang to successfully break free from the Crown Sunlight Luan's offensive.

The next moment, the Demon King-level Wangliang transformed into a massive green light sphere, appearing like a meteor as it swooped down from the sky, crashing toward the Crown Sunlight Luan.

Resist Fire Ring!

At the critical moment, the Crown Sunlight Luan's body suddenly erupted with a large amount of flames, and a thick fire ring centered on it expanded rapidly toward the surroundings, encompassing a full hundred-meter range.

In an instant, the green light sphere and the fire ring made contact; the Demon King-level Wangliang's downward momentum came to a sudden halt, and it was then forcibly pushed back into the sky by the Resist Fire Ring.

However, the Demon King-level Wangliang was not injured, though the green light sphere had also been mostly offset by the fire ring.

Rapid Gale and Rain!

The Crown Sunlight Luan seized this opportunity and immediately launched a counterattack, instantly Soaring upward, and under the terrified gaze of the Demon King-level Wangliang, it knocked it to an even higher altitude.

Before the Demon King-level Wangliang could fall, the Crown Sunlight Luan unleashed astonishing explosive power, knocking the Demon King-level Wangliang away once more.

Repeating this cycle, the Demon King-level Wangliang was knocked away by the Crown Sunlight Luan time and time again; in just one or two breaths, it had been knocked away a full five times, and was even sent to an altitude of several hundred meters.

Only then did the Crown Sunlight Luan finally stop.

Boom—

The Demon King-level Wangliang fell straight down from several hundred meters in the air, smashing heavily into the ground and leaving a humanoid crater, which dealt it secondary damage.

Although the single-hit power of Rapid Gale and Rain is not strong, its strength lies in the ability to use explosive power to complete several attacks in an instant, compensating for the lack of power with quantity to inflict massive damage on the enemy.

The Crown Sunlight Luan's strength was clearly above that of the Demon King-level Wangliang; after fully enduring this strike, the Demon King-level Wangliang had already lost its ability to fight.

Under Li Zhangsheng's command, the Crown Sunlight Luan raised its sharp Bird Beak and directly pierced through the body of the Demon King-level Wangliang.

After struggling a few times, the Demon King-level Wangliang ceased to breathe.

Not far away, Aixi was lying on the ground in a leisurely manner, with over a dozen Wangliang lying in disarray beside it, all having lost their ability to fight.

Li Zhangsheng did not kill this group of Wangliang, naturally because he valued them; after all, their quality was there, and even if they didn't have much potential to speak of, it was still a significant harvest.

As for the Demon King-level Wangliang, it was simply because Li Zhangsheng wasn't confident he could make it obedient; after all, Wangliang are not kind-hearted creatures, but rather cunning and treacherous villains, let alone a Demon King-level one.

As for the other Wangliang, they could not break free from the Temporary Contract of Li Zhangsheng and Ning Bizhen, so their fate was predictable.

Not long after, Li Zhangsheng and Ning Bizhen contracted all the Wangliang in one go and stored them in their Monster Pet Bags.

"Spirit-Devouring Mouse, get to work!"

The Spirit-Devouring Mouse obediently jumped out of Li Zhangsheng's embrace and began to expand the small hole it had previously opened, allowing Li Zhangsheng and Ning Bizhen to enter the underground cavern.

Excavating an underground passage of over a hundred meters was no small project for the Spirit-Devouring Mouse, and it took a full half-hour before it finally finished.

Only then did Li Zhangsheng and his companion enter this underground passage; they did not lower their guard, as no one could guarantee whether there were still other Wangliang present.

In just a few breaths' time, the two crossed the hundred-meter underground passage and arrived inside the underground cavern.

At first glance, Li Zhangsheng was captivated by the scene before him.
