Chapter 432 The Tortoise That Couldn't Be Caught Escaped
The awakened ones from the Two Cities Bureau were taken aback by the lock-picker's reaction and instinctively looked at the ghost.
I had seen her before; she was one of the leaders. I knew she belonged to our faction, so I didn't attack her.
The gaze had no negative reaction, indicating that it only had a psychological deterrent effect on enemies. The group glanced at the black sun again with slight wariness. The enormous monster remained stationary in the air without making any unusual moves, so they relaxed.
The ghost actually managed to snatch and suppress the monster, which was at least a third-tier monster, from the fourth-tier summoner in a short period of time.
With a sigh of admiration in their hearts, the awakened healers quickly went to treat the wounded, while those in better condition immediately went to help take care of them. The remaining lightly injured quickly took various medications to treat and recover on their own.
As for the deserters, no one is pursuing them, and they shouldn't be running around in the area easily. Moreover, E19, the leader, is still around, so they need to be dealt with as a priority.
"Rumble!" The blocks of this small world began to sink and fall, and everyone lost their balance and tried their best to maintain their balance.
Everyone felt their entire body was being reorganized, being rubbed and pulled, which was somewhat painful but did not affect their mobility.
Zuo Xiuyan couldn't help but wonder, "Did the Black Sun all die, so the small domain disappeared and moved on to the next level?"
"Stop 19!" Su Guanming said in a deep voice, the outcome she had foreseen seemed bad.
Unless the process can be changed before the outcome arrives, the fixed outcome cannot be altered.
If you can't kill E19 instantly, you can't trap her, but unfortunately, E19 has super strong defense... and her strange ability to escape.
"Hmph..." E19 sneered, "If I want to leave, can you stop me?"
In a flash, she arrived inside the flesh-and-blood furnace. Her ribs returned to their original positions, and more bones grew from both sides to fill the gaps, forming a sealed space. Flesh and blood then enveloped the bones.
In the blink of an eye, the flesh furnace had sunk halfway into the sea of molten blood, creating a vortex around it.
Meng Xiyue's silk threads are better suited for cutting and dismantling, and dealing with fragile targets, while Sun Mu is better suited for high burst damage such as piercing or blunt strikes, or small-area defense.
The two of them could kill this thick-skinned, enormous monster in one strike, but it would take them a minute.
The E19 can move freely within its broad chest cavity, making it easy to dodge damage.
Su Guanming is responsible for area-of-effect attacks and information control, while the Word Spirit Master is responsible for single-target or area-of-effect distortion, interference, and recombination, altering the environment to attack.
The two's level advantage allows them to defeat monsters within 30 seconds, but what's the use? E19 can escape in other ways.
Furthermore, it consumes a huge amount of mental energy, and we've already used up a lot of it. We still don't know how many layers the domain has or how difficult it is, so saving our mental energy to deal with it is the right thing to do.
Especially since Su Guanming is alone, it's even less likely that she would choose to exert herself greatly, as she has no backup.
In just a second, the Flesh Furnace had completely disappeared into the sea of blood. Its umbilical cord snapped and it drifted away. Amidst the surging gray mist, the umbilical cord disappeared and the gray mist gradually dissipated.
The molten lava sea was absorbed by the vortex and shrank, drying up extremely quickly and leaving behind scorched, blackened earth.
There was no sign of any mental fluctuation; it was as if E19 had vanished from the world into thin air.
Su Guanming, Meng Xiyue, Sun Mu, and the Word Spirit Master all looked rather unwell, with the Word Spirit Master's expression being particularly noticeable.
The four men couldn't kill him, couldn't stop him, and couldn't catch him.
suffocated.
Looking out from the plain, the sky seemed to be breaking apart, and the distant horizon was sinking and gradually approaching. It was as if the sky was collapsing and the earth was sinking. Everyone was on high alert.
“The small domain is changing, there is no danger.” Su Guan knew what was going to happen, but he was not worried.
The crowd felt somewhat relieved upon hearing this.
The Word Master, moved by a thought, stared at the spot where E19 had disappeared and softly said, "Flesh and bone are all shells... When nothing happens, they all come to hide."
The original owner had never heard of this poem before, and Zuo Xiuyan was surprised... He actually composed a poem on the spot?
The Word Master muttered under his breath, "Turtle."
Zuo Xiuyan almost burst out laughing. Neither the other person's unexpected reaction nor the insults were surprising. Wait, I'm a ghost; ghosts would absolutely love this kind of thing.
The ghost chuckled softly, its throat resonating like a drum, and its teeth chattered twice.
Sun Mu nodded in agreement, while Meng Xiyue and Su Guanming smiled faintly.
The tense situation eased, and the words of the spirit master made the atmosphere even more relaxed.
Although the awakened beings in both cities were still wary of each other, their recent cooperation had brought them closer, and the intense hostility they felt when they first met was gone.
The Word Master's book flipped through the pages and gradually closed, then floated down. A metal box spread from the outer cover and enveloped it, and the golden patterns and two long, serrated stripes in the center reappeared on the surface.
As the box flew behind her, leather straps grew out from both sides, converging to form a diagonal sling across her body.
Sun Mu spun the spear, which automatically retracted inward and flew to her right shoulder, transforming into a golden arm guard that enveloped her entire arm.
Meng Xiyue retracted the silk thread, and the transparent thread wrapped around her ten fingers, disappearing continuously from the ends forward.
The Buddhist beads that Su Guanming had seen in the distance shrank and flew back, spinning once on her wrist before stopping, just like an ordinary red bracelet.
Zuo Xiuyan did not accept it.
Her weapon, [Infinity], was broken into tiny fragments lying in her storage space, while Little Sadness floated happily in the sky—an external cheat that couldn't be turned off for the time being—it was hanging outside.
This battle can be considered a great victory.
They dealt with the Tier 3 monsters, kept the secret, none of their companions died, they drove away the Tier 4 summoner, killed most of the lock-picking company's forces, and the remaining survivors were no longer a threat.
Zuo Xiuyan doesn't know how others fared, but she gained quite a lot.
After the enemy's source of sorrow transforms into a domain, the monsters within it all contain a portion of that source. Therefore, when Little Sorrow devours a monster it encounters, it's equivalent to devouring a few strands of that source.
This not only made Xiao Beibei grow up a lot, but also increased her chances of winning.
Most importantly, this is tantamount to eating the spoils ahead of time.
If Little Sadness continued to eat like this, her essence would definitely be reduced by more than half. In the end, the amount distributed with the key was the leftovers from her meal. Giving half to this person and half to that person, she wouldn't lose out at all.
She secretly ate one of the ten cakes, then ate five or six more later, and the remaining three or four were divided among the three factions... Well, sorry about that.
Zuo Xiuyan chuckled inwardly.
She was laughing happily, and the Pure Ones who had just entered were happy too, but in the blink of an eye they started squeaking and yelling.
What happened to the promise of pure power? What happened to the promise of being with the ruler?
where?
Why is it this big thing?!
They stared at a black capsule that exuded an ominous aura.
