Chapter 175: Copper Wall Iron Wall Golden Light Talisman

"In the trap?"

The rat demon instantly rejoiced; it hadn't forgotten that Fang Lu had told them a fool had taken their treasure map, and said that fool was a prime fat sheep.

One could easily produce a hundred low-grade spirit stones!

Even while controlling the paper person, making the paper person produce that many low-grade spirit stones.

No need to even think about it.

One would know just how wealthy this fat sheep itself would be!

Just.

It was worried that even if the fat sheep took the treasure map, it might not fall for the trap, and the little bird on watch at the trap would relay the news.

They said a paper person had entered the underground passage!

Not to mention it; even other demons, and even Fang Lu, would be delighted.

The eldest tiger demon had arranged for it to search for the fat sheep's true form; it had practically turned this mountain inside out, yet the only disappointment was that not only had it not found the fat sheep's true form, it hadn't even found a single hair.

It suspected that the fat sheep's true form was likely hidden in other mountains and forests.

This time it came over just to tell the tiger demons its speculation, then go search other mountains and forests.

Never would have thought.

Just as it arrived at the entrance of the underground passage, it bumped into a panicked fleeing fox demon, mistakenly thinking it was a paper person controlled by the fat sheep, and kicked it.

Even more unexpected.

The fat sheep's true form was actually inside the trap!

"Second brother, that fat sheep is stupid enough; arranging for a paper person to come to our trap to hunt treasure would suffice, yet it actually came in person—I think it doesn't even know how to write the word "death"; this time we're bound to make a killing!"

The rat demon gave a hehe smile, its face full of excitement; before it finished speaking, it suddenly reacted, staring fixedly at the fox demon in the underground passage, and said solemnly:

"Second brother, how could you come rushing out like this? Could it be that you took advantage of the eldest brother's inattention to steal the fat sheep's storage bag, discovered it contained a lot of treasures, and now want to flee?"

They had been brothers for many years; logically, their feelings should be good.

Just as the old saying goes: wealth moves the heart.

In the face of profit, even blood brothers will turn against each other, let alone these sworn brothers of theirs.

You should know.

Just now, when the eldest tiger demon assigned it to search for the fat sheep's true form, its heart was filled with excitement; it was actually considering that if it found the storage bag on the fat sheep's true form's corpse, the treasures inside would be abundant and precious.

Would it possibly do something like flee far away?

This thought hadn't lingered three seconds in its mind before it confirmed, given its nature, it was very likely to do such a thing.

Judging a demon by one's own standards!

Its second brother, the fox demon, was originally a clever monster; if it got hold of the storage bag on the fat sheep's corpse and discovered a large amount of treasures inside.

Its reaction speed would probably be even faster than its own!

"Second brother, we've been brothers for years; how could you do such a foolish thing for a bit of treasure? Isn't this hurting our brotherly feelings? Hurry up and return the storage bag; I'm pleading for you—given the eldest brother's temper, it definitely won't hold it against you!"

In the depths of the rat demon's eyes, a flash of killing intent passed; it was about to seize the moment when the fox demon was inattentive, strike first and kill the fox demon, taking its storage bag.

"Pfft!"

A cluster of fresh blood spurted from the fox demon's body, immediately followed by a white light flashing out.

"Eldest brother, you guys really came fast enough; of course, if it weren't for me, that scoundrel second brother would really have gotten away!"

The sudden change startled the rat demon, dispelling the thoughts in its heart; it looked somewhat flustered at the fox demon's corpse.

It hadn't expected that their eldest brother, the tiger demon, would be even more vicious than it imagined—not that it had never seen the eldest tiger demon's viciousness before, but those were directed at outsiders; this was the first time it saw him deal such a vicious hand to his own brothers.

Without saying a word, it directly killed the fox demon.

Although. Given what the fox demon did, being killed was deserved.

"Eldest brother..."

The rat demon was about to speak a few words, fearing the eldest brother would kill it in a rage, mistaking it for the fox demon's accomplice; before it finished speaking, it saw the white light that had slain the fox demon not stop, but continue straight toward it.

Like a bolt of thunder, carrying a violent, unstoppable momentum.

"Wrong!"

The rat demon hastily cast a defensive spell, preparing to block the incoming white light of slaughter, while also trying to say it wasn't allied with the fox demon; but as the words were about to leave its mouth, it saw the shooting white light was a flying sword.

You should know that among the five brothers, none of them uses a flying sword.

"Is it that fat sheep?"

The rat demon suddenly recalled the fox demon's faintly visible panicked expression just now; a flash of inspiration passed through its mind.

Stealing the storage bag and fleeing wouldn't produce that expression.

In this novel you have arrived at

That is to say……

Not only the fox demon, but even the other three of the five brothers who were in the trap likely all met their demise at the fat sheep's hand.

Although unwilling to believe it, besides this possibility it could think of no other.

Just thinking of this, the rat demon felt as if it had plunged into an ice cellar, its whole body chilled; the defensive spell it had deployed gave it no sense of safety, so it hastily took out a talisman.

Intermediate talisman—Copper Wall Iron Wall Golden Light Talisman!

It is an upgraded version of the golden light talisman; its defensive effect is ten times that of an ordinary golden light talisman.

It was bought with all its savings from a human cultivator at the Jiu tou shan ji shi market, prepared specifically to save its life at a critical moment.

After using the Copper Wall Iron Wall Golden Light Talisman, the rat demon only then managed to suppress the surging sense of crisis welling up from its heart.

"With this Copper Wall Iron Wall Golden Light Talisman in hand, I'd like to see just how you intend to harm my life!"

The rat demon gave a cold snort, turned about to flee.

It's not stupid; the Copper Wall Iron Wall Golden Light Talisman is for its own self‑preservation, not for killing enemies—yet that fat sheep actually managed to consecutively slay four of the five brothers.

There are plenty of people whose abilities exceed it, and even they have died at the hands of the fat sheep.

It knows its own weight, it's clear as day; if it's oblivious to life and death and really goes to take revenge, eight or nine times out of ten it'll just be delivering vegetables.

Better to take advantage of the Copper Wall Iron Wall Golden Light Talisman protecting its whole body, turn and flee, so as to save one's life; the matter of taking revenge can be discussed later.

"Bang!"

The next moment, just as the rat demon turned to prepare to flee, a dull collision sound rang out—it was the flying sword that came shooting and struck his Copper Wall Iron Wall Golden Light Talisman.

"This is a mid-level talisman: Copper Wall Iron Wall Golden Light Talisman; how could it be just a mere flying sword of yours..."

The rat demon, while speeding up its escape, was about to utter a few sarcastic remarks, but before it could finish speaking, a crack appeared at the point where the flying sword collided with the barrier formed by the Copper Wall Iron Wall Golden Light Talisman.

The next second.

The crack spread, like a spider's web.

"Boom!"

Not long after, a deafening explosion sound rang out; the golden barrier formed by the Copper Wall Iron Wall Golden Light Talisman, like a shattered mirror, flew out piece after piece of fragments, scattering all over the ground.
