Chapter 343: Suppressing Region Stone

A sound like sandpaper made Bai Ce's whole body break out in goosebumps.

He tried to block the opponent's escape, but the black-robed swordsman nonetheless turned into a phantom and vanished on the spot.

Disappearing with him was that Crescent Moon Long Sword.

"Bai Ce, are you not hurt?"

Gu Han landed and immediately signaled the Heavenly Jade Ginseng to heal Bai Ce and Zi Ling.

Bai Ce shook his head, feeling the cool aura emanating from the Heavenly Jade Ginseng's palm, and couldn't help but glance sideways.

He thoroughly examined the Heavenly Jade Ginseng from head to toe, then turned his gaze to Gu Han.

"Gu Brother, what is this holy beast?"

Gu Han smiled,

"This is my companion."

Bai Ce looked at Gu Han with envy,

"Having such a partner, I really do feel a bit envious of your partnership."

"Bai Ce Brother probably doesn't know how much we envy your physique."

The moment we said 'we,' it showed Gu Han tacitly acknowledged that he, like those who fled, came from outside Chong Yuan.

Bai Ce gave Gu Han a deep look; although under the leadership of Fengyue Shan, they already knew these sudden Savior Heirs mostly came from outside Chong Yuan.

But among them, no one was as frank as Gu Han!

Anywhere, an honest person always wins others' goodwill.

For Bai Ce, fighting side by side earlier already filled him with goodwill toward Gu Han.

Seeing Gu Han's subtle sincerity in his words, Bai Ce was almost ready to slap him on the back and show closeness right then.

At the same time, Zi Ling's wounds had healed, and the three immediately headed toward Sheng Cheng.

After the High Mountain Construct fell, the other Black Tide Monsters on the battlefield had already been wiped out by other Savior Heirs and the Holy City Guards.

On the battlefield now, hundreds of people were clearing the field.

When Black Tide Monsters die, they leave no corpses, so naturally there's no need to clean the battlefield.

And these Sheng Cheng soldiers were cleaning up the corpses of the Holy City Guards.

On the battlefield, a heavy sorrow hung in the air.

Although facing the Black Tide's assault, someone dies in battle each day.

But seeing a companion who was joking and laughing with you just yesterday die before your eyes—

—no one can keep a calm mind.

Gu Han remained silent all the way, observing in his mind what the Black Tide construct had burst out.

Ordinary Black Tide Monsters, though equally strong, gave him no treasure chests.

But Gu Han merely thought those Black Tide Monsters were too weak; this High Mountain Construct, whose power surpasses a Martial King, should surely drop a treasure chest, right?

The result: no treasure chest, but there was a stone!

Gu Han's gaze stayed on the system description beneath the stone.

Suppressing Region Stone: It can absorb raw stone, spirit ore, and various minerals; the more minerals absorbed, the greater its power and effect.

"Good grief, could this be another gold‑eating beast?"

As soon as that thought rose in Gu Han's mind, he couldn't help but freeze for a moment.

"Come to think of it, why did he say that again?"

Gu Han couldn't be bothered to think further; he put the Suppressing Region Stone into his storage space to let it absorb the raw stone he had stockpiled.

Although he left plenty of raw stone for his family and the people of the Third Camp.

But the raw stone he obtained from the treasure chest was an astronomical amount.

His storage space still held plenty of it.

As the mountain‑like pile of top‑grade raw stone vanished at breakneck speed, the Suppressing Region Stone soon blazed with light.

Immediately after, a line of small text appeared beneath the Suppressing Region Stone.

(With the Suppressing Region Stone presiding over a hundred‑li radius, the growth rate of all minerals and heavenly treasures within increases by 10%).

"Just that?"

Gu Han frowned, feeling the Suppressing Region Stone's effect was rather mediocre.

The birth of heavenly treasures, spirit plants, and spirit ores all involve a degree of randomness.

Besides artificial cultivation, most take decades or even centuries to appear.

Even if the Suppressing Region Stone boosts the speed by 10%.

That is, from a hundred years down to ninety.

To him, it's simply not worth spending decades waiting for those heavenly treasures to mature!

The effect looks good, but the Suppressing Region Stone's coverage is too small—only a hundred‑li radius!

Unless the Suppressing Region Stone is handed directly to the Gu family for use, to him it's utterly useless—useless among the useless!

For a power with a thousand‑year inheritance, this might be a decent treasure.

But to Gu Han, it's just useless!

Gu Han had originally wanted to toss the Suppressing Region Stone straight into his system storage, but then he quickly changed his mind,

"Anyway, these raw stones in hand aren't useful for now; better to keep raising it and see how far this Suppressing Region Stone can go."

This stone, no matter how you say it, bears the lofty name of Suppressing Region Stone.

"If it only has this effect, how could it live up to that name?"

Thinking of this, Gu Han immediately sprang into action, leaving the Suppressing Region Stone to continue absorbing.

Soon, one after another, the small hills of raw stone were completely sucked dry by the Suppressing Region Stone.

The coverage of the Suppressing Region Stone also gradually expanded, until now it is enough to blanket a territory of ten thousand li in radius!

This even surpasses the territory possessed by a great city like Han Shan Cheng—it is more than enough!

If Gu Han wanted to establish a great power, this would absolutely be a supreme treasure!

Moreover, the growth rate of the Suppressing Region Stone has reached a hundred percent!

That is to say, spiritual plants that originally needed a hundred years to mature now only need fifty years to mature!

To Gu Han, this fifty-year timescale is nothing, and he doesn't need these spiritual plants.

But for a power that has been passed down for many years, having more cultivation time compared to other powers signifies a leapfrog development in the faction's overall strength!

Moreover, Gu Han also noticed that after the Suppressing Region Stone's coverage reaches a radius of ten thousand li, an additional effect appears.

"The Suppressing Region Stone can transform into a mountain range giant to guard the territory."

Although it doesn't explicitly state the strength of the mountain range giant.

But it is obvious that the earlier High Mountain Construct should be the template for this mountain range giant.

As long as enough raw stone is absorbed, the mountain range giant will only be stronger than that High Mountain Construct!

One punch can take down a Martial King—absolutely no problem!

Moreover, the mountain range giant has thick skin and tough flesh, making it very resistant to blows!

Even Gu Han, who just teamed up with Bai Ce to deal with the High Mountain Construct, spent a considerable amount of time.

If this mountain range giant could possess the same strength as the High Mountain Construct, it would be a powerful enforcer for Gu Han as he is now!

Once we leave the Chong Yuan World, we can also leave the mountain range giant at home to protect Mother and younger sister!

"Who says this Suppressing Region Stone is no good? I think it simply couldn't be better!"
