Chapter 200: Goodbye, Bolanke!

Lamoer Steam Tower, during this period, several powerful transcendent beings have appeared.

This flame mage named Andelie is one of them.

Recently, there was a large-scale attack by Spiritbites on Lamoer Steam Tower.

The mage named Andelie used his flame sorcery combined with wind magic, covering almost a quarter of Lamoer Steam Lighthouse's area with fire.

He was practically a human flamethrower.

He killed over a thousand Spiritbites, sending them back to the Spirit Realm's ecological cycle.

"Spiritbite" is a Spirit Realm creature formed when spiritual precipitation from the material realm accumulates in the Spirit Realm layer and reaches a certain quantity in some areas.

These Spiritbites are about the size of a wild dog, their bodies resembling a rugby ball, with two sturdy legs on each side; the front half of the legs bears their exceptionally ferocious tooth mouthparts.

Below the neck are all legs; above the neck are all mouths.

One bite can devour something half the size of their body.

This is also one of the sources of this bizarre Spirit Realm creature, the Spiritbite.

The battle against the Spiritbite attack.

It also allowed the mage named Andelie to illuminate the darkness polluted by the dim sun with his flame, gaining fame in one battle at the Lamoer Steam Tower area.

Now, if you go to Lamoer Steam Lighthouse and ask about Andelie,

Everyone knows that the flame mage named Andelie is especially good at spewing fire.

Bolanke came to check on Take's breakthrough, and while following Xiluoer to scout the entire Lamoer Steam Tower, he had encountered the mage named Andelie before.

At that time, they also chatted briefly.

Accompanied by the scorching flames of the heavenly layer.

Fist-sized Spiritsting Bees fell like hail pellets, continuously dropping.

Even a faint burnt smell could be detected.

"Such large-scale flame sorcery is indeed powerful; even I cannot block it head-on."

Bolanke was pondering.

Not far away, Andelie had already walked over.

Looking up and down at Bolanke, who wore black rune leather armor, held a blood rune longsword, had neat short hair, and looked handsome with a more mature air than before, Take asked with interest,

"Do you also want to go in to collect honey that nourishes the soul?"

"Yes!" Bolanke nodded.

The flame mage Andelie, whose skill is quite decent, wore somewhat shabby attire.

Only the flame rune ring staff on his right hand was barely noticeable.

Unfortunately, it was a weak rune ring staff, not one bearing a complete flame rune power.

But this did not seem to hinder the flame mage's execution of his techniques.

"Since that's the case, let's go together!"

Take went around Bolanke and walked forward.

"Anyway, there's plenty of Mother Nest Honey inside."

As they walked ahead, Take said,

"A few days ago, while a group of mages ignited Mother Nest Mountain from another direction, an assassin took the opportunity to steal a batch of honey."

"I was fortunate to receive a small bottle."

"Mmm... it's incredibly delicious, making the soul tremble."

Take sighed softly.

"Moreover, its nourishing effect on the soul is very good."

"It can ease the mental tension caused by long-term cultivation, spell practice, and studying scriptures."

"I heard that the Tree Heart Cavern Tavern has launched honey wine, which is quite expensive."

"Upon reaching the Third Stage, one must already begin laying the foundation for the Fourth Stage Transcendent State."

"The nourishment of the soul, flesh, and source energy pool must all begin."

"Even after entering the Transcendent State, one still needs to nurture their Transcendent State with good resources."

"Thus, even if the flesh is destroyed in the future, the Transcendent State can still adapt well to the various ecologies of the Transcendent Realm."

"That's why I came today to procure Mother Nest Honey."

After he finished speaking, Take turned to Bolanke, who was following behind, and asked,

"What level are you?"

"We don't seem to be familiar enough to share levels yet!" Bolanke, following behind, said indifferently.

"Hmm... I was just asking casually, after all, directly stating your level as 35 is somewhat impolite."

Bolanke: "..."

In the midst of their talk, the two, moving at a steady pace, had already entered the Spirit Bee Mother Nest Mountain along the passage.

Originally, they would have suffered many attacks from Spiritsting Bees outside.

After entering, they would face attacks from elite Spiritsting Bees of level thirty or higher, even forty or above.

But when the two entered,

Bolanke suddenly noticed that the Spiritsting Bees that had been chasing them outside

suddenly stopped pursuing them; moreover, the high-level Spiritsting Bees inside began to ignore the two completely.

The forty-level elite Spiritsting Bee, about the size of a Siamese cat, flew straight at them and simply veered around the two.

Seeing this, Bolanke began to doubt the information he had previously received.

"Wasn't it said that after entering, they would face more attacks?"

When did the intel get this wrong?

Looking at this bizarre scene around him, Berlanke was puzzled.

No way?

Berlanke gripped his sword tighter as he watched the fire mage leading the way ahead.

Your steam sequence is absorbing too quickly.

Just then, the mage named André ahead spoke again.

The ecology of you transcendent swordsmen is far less than that of mages, the balance of strength, and the ecological cycle is also far less than that of mages.

Digesting and adapting to the steam core requires more time.

Taku's words caused a bloody light to burst from deep within Berlanke's eyes, like a silken blood blade.

Although I know you're a powerful mage, prying into others' privacy like this... isn't right!

You... who exactly are you?

The opponent had discovered too much, causing Berlanke's vigilance to rise sharply.

Who else could it be? Back when we were inside the demon king's seal, I made you experience the truth of death. Taku said lazily.

Taku!

Berlanke's pupils contracted sharply.

Taku's words instantly confirmed to Berlanke that the André before him was indeed Taku himself.

After all, no one else knew that he and Taku had teamed up inside the demon king's seal.

It really is you, you bastard!

His gaze quickly swept over the fellow called André, who was actually Taku, and a smile crept up his brow.

Aren't you in the middle of a breakthrough?

As soon as the words left his mouth, Berlanke suddenly understood.

That place is a trap; no wonder I said there's been no movement.

It makes people think you're inside, while you're actually outside, so no one can doubt your identity as André.

Besides, you've already reached third stage; I thought my upgrade speed was fast enough, but I didn't expect you to be faster than me.

Still, you're faster; you're level 35, while I'm only level 33.

Taku replied while scouting the increasingly narrow road ahead.

You... how did you do that?

Watching the spirit-thorn bees ahead actively avoid the two of them, Berlanke was unusually curious.

Hmm... by harmonizing with this hive's ecological world, we become part of the hive.

Then those spirit-thorn bees won't attack us.

Berlanke fell into thought.

Although I don't really understand how you did that, it looks impressive.

Actually, it's not that impressive... shh!

While speaking, Taku lowered his voice and made a shushing gesture to Berlanke behind him.

At the same time, Berlanke held his breath and focused.

Amid the buzzing of many spirit-thorn bees, Berlanke heard footsteps around the corner ahead, drawing nearer.

Are there others who came in to steal honey like us?

Or... enemies?

Just as Berlanke was wondering,

but he saw Taku make a throat-slashing gesture at him.

Berlanke instantly understood.

Although Taku is ruthless, he's not so crazy as to consider stealing honey a capital offense.

Since Taku intends to kill, that person is likely a member of the Eclipse Church.

What are the Eclipse Church people doing here?

Accompanied by the footsteps.

When the two fourth-stage transcendent beings walked out left and right from the passage ahead.

These two fourth-stage transcendent beings.

One was an Eclipse Church herder, level 46.

One was an Eclipse Church mage, level 47.

These two apparently didn't realize someone would ambush them here.

In fact, both of them were still in a perceptive state.

If someone were ahead, they could still sense something.

But they felt nothing ahead.

Just at the moment the two set out.

Die!

Berlanke's sword aura burst forth instantly, a bloody sword light containing the ultimate essence of sword canon.

The herder's head flew off on the spot.

Sheep Transformation!

Taku's level 39 two-star Sheep Transformation also directly enveloped that level 47 Eclipse Church mage.

But the Eclipse Church mage was in the process of turning into a sheep.

"Peng!" a slight explosion, on the ground lay clumps of sticky dark shadows, while that level-47 Dark Sun Wizard had already vanished.

"Huh?" Ta Ke raised an eyebrow.

As expected of a four-stage Dark Sun Wizard who has condensed the transcendent state, he still has something.

Ta Ke glanced at the herder whose head had been cut off.

Only to see, its head fell to the ground with a gurgle-gurgle roll, and a body quickly grew beneath the head, swiftly becoming a bizarre fallen one.

Meanwhile, where its headless corpse had been, a cluster of Dark Sun bonfire burned brightly.

Accompanying the burning of the Dark Sun bonfire, Dark Sun fallen ones continually appeared on the surrounding walls.

This guy began to release his own Dark Sun fallen ones.

"Can we deal with this guy?" Ta Ke asked.

"No problem!" Bo Lan Ke, holding a blood-red rune longsword, said crisply.

"Alright, I'll go chase that guy, you be careful."

Having said that, Ta Ke took a step and vanished on the spot.
