Chapter 735: Chapter 344 Old Horse Five Number_2
“But I did manage to learn some names and characteristics of the Immortals. Maybe they can be helpful during subsequent explorations,” Li Yelai responded, “Now, after eliminating some dangers, it’s time to meet up with my teammates.”
On various transparent jade pillars, Li Yelai saw what could be called the diaries of the Immortals, or maybe gossip?
Among the recorded Immortals were the ‘Master Artisan Immortal,’ ‘Jiuhua Fairy,’ ‘Ancient Desolate Battle Immortal,’ ‘Changle Immortal Monarch,’ ‘Heavenly Water Immortal’…
The Master Artisan Immortal seemed to be a craftsman who participated in the manufacturing of the Heavenly Weapon Furnace and crafted many odd and eccentric items. Judging from the descriptions, the things he made were probably on the level of Taboo Items.
The Jiuhua Fairy must be a very attractive female, given how frequently she is mentioned. One note talked about the ‘Heavenly Water Immortal’ and the ‘Jiuhua Fairy’ brewing a divine liquor called ‘Ten Thousand Tribulation Immortal Brew.’ It’s said that drinking this would make it difficult to even wish for death. The writer was eager to try it. Unfortunately, before the first batch could be brewed, war descended.
The Ancient Desolate Battle Immortal, one of the eight Great Generals of the Heavenly Palace Civilization, was often referred to as the War Immortal. His combat power was extraordinarily strong.
The Changle Immortal Monarch was quite strange, seemingly fond of mischief, or perhaps being a jester? It’s said he often played tricks on other powers, even deceitfully acquiring treasures from the Master Artisan Immortal. He would also set traps like cages in other immortals’ mansions; when they returned home, they had to break through these cages.
That he wasn’t killed for this suggests his power must be overwhelming.
Just like the Moon Shadow Captain, possessing an ability that could instantly infuriate others, yet they were helpless against him.
However, in the final moments of the war, the Changle Immortal Monarch also fell in battle.
“Hopefully, this information will be useful,” Li Yelai thought, as he approached the gate. The gate slowly opened as if waiting for Li Yelai to leave.
But Li Yelai stopped at the doorway and then covered his face with one hand.
Activating Xiang Yu’s Face! The Overlord’s Double Pupils appear!
After unveiling the Face, Li Yelai stared intently at the golden vines. If any change occurred, Li Yelai would have to abandon his plan.
Fortunately, the golden vines trembled slightly, then returned to calmness. They reacted to Li Yelai’s actions but ultimately chose not to attack him.
This allowed Li Yelai to breathe a sigh of relief. With things as they were, it was time to make good use of the palace’s defensive mechanisms to exhaust a wave of ‘enemies.’
“I wonder what it will draw out…” Li Yelai murmured.
“Is your curse really that vicious? Then how did you survive to become the Champion Agent?” the Mountain Lord voiced his skepticism, thinking that the ‘You Must Meet Strong Enemies’ was too far-fetched.
However, the next second, the sky darkened, and a giant fierce beast suddenly smashed onto the ground.
It was an immense, winged creature with a wingspan approaching ten meters, shaped like a snake.
On the snake’s head, there were six eyes, four wings, and three bird’s feet.
Was this a… snake with wings and bird’s feet?
“What the fuck! It actually came?” The Mountain Lord’s four eyes widened, then he judged, “It’s really ugly, totally lacking my sense of beauty!”
“Stop being a pot calling the kettle black,” Li Yelai snarked, eying the giant beast in the distance. “A snake-shaped bird… a creature from the myths, isn’t it?”
Great, does that mean he’s now entangled in some sort of karma?
Of course, Li Yelai wouldn’t choose this creature as his Mythical Mimic.
The creature heavily crashed down in front of the palace doors.
It shook its head as it struggled up from the ground, its six-eyed serpent’s head unleashing a silent roar, venting anger and cruelty.
Just moments ago, a horde of prey appeared within the Immortal Palace, drawing out numerous Hunters. It was searching for prey in the sky when it was ambushed by another predator and knocked down, which particularly enraged it.
Then, it saw Li Yelai sitting inside the door.
Its six serpent eyes focussed, its thick tongue flicking in and out, capturing the scent of blood in the air.
A fine piece of prey, good for a long meal!
In the eyes of Extraordinary Creatures, Spiritual Ability Users indeed made the best food, especially high-level ones. Consuming one could allow them to grow even faster!
It was very satisfied with this prey, which was just sitting in the palace, waiting for it. This…
A palace?
In the next second, the creature let out a piercing scream, spreading its massive four wings, trying to ascend and flee.
Because, as soon as its gaze shifted to other places, to the White Jade Palace, to the golden vines, it suddenly realized where it had landed!
This was the forbidden land for Extraordinary Creatures; they knew all too well what would happen if they approached.
But it was too late, the moment it landed here, it was considered a Challenger.
In that instant, sixteen golden peas fell to the ground, transforming into Golden-armored God Generals. Six armed with bows, ten with long spears, instantly attacking!
The horrific battle erupted instantly. The creature roared furiously, deadly venom spraying everywhere, gusts of wind rising, countless toxins raining down like a downpour.
The distant trees were merely touched and instantly decayed and broke apart.
But this had little effect on the divine generals.
Facing the joint attack of sixteen divine generals, Suan Yu was dismembered after defeating four.
The colossal snake head drooped, its eyes full of fear and bewilderment, feeling an unjust death.
“Bravo!” Li Yelai clapped vigorously and stepped forward to collect some of Suan Yu’s venom, only to feel the ground shake.
A massive boar tumbled from the distant woods.
Its body rolled on the ground like a small mountain, shaking the earth.
When it finally stopped, it let out an angry roar.
Its enormous size was like a moving hill with knotted muscles.
With a boar’s head but much fiercer, its eyes glinted with a ferocious light. Above its long snout, a pair of sharp tusks shone coldly like long spears.
Its body was covered with coarse hair that shimmered metallic in the sunlight.
Its limbs were thick and sturdy, each step causing a slight tremor as if even the earth itself trembled.
However, it bore many wounds, seemingly from battles with other powerful creatures.
This creature was even larger than the Nightfall Mountain Lord!
A Wild Boar? Feng Xi?
Good!
There wasn’t a moment to mourn for Suan Yu, because the next combatant on the battlefield was the fierce beast, Feng Xi!
Thus, when Feng Xi’s gaze fell upon the palace, its roars turned into wails.
Sixteen golden peas hit the ground, and sixteen golden-armored god generals attacked Feng Xi!
Feng Xi’s combat strength was indeed good, its strong defensive power allowed it to fend off seven god generals before its head was chopped off.
Li Yelai did not attempt to scavenge, for soon, the next enemy arrived on the battlefield.
It seemed to be chasing after Feng Xi, a monster with a fearsome dragon head and a strong tiger’s body.
Atop the dragon head were three pairs of eyes, and its whole body was covered with red hair and scales.
Six eyes, dragon head, tiger body… Ya Yu!
Another mythical creature!
There wasn’t a moment to mourn for Feng Xi, because rushing onto the battlefield was Ya Yu!
The moment it saw Feng Xi and Suan Yu’s corpses, it turned and ran at great speed.
But as the golden vines twisted, the remaining golden-armored god generals pounced on Ya Yu!
Ya Yu’s combat strength was astonishing, its body exceptionally resilient, and it managed to defeat thirteen god generals. It almost completed the challenge.
But in the end, it was stabbed in the heart, and its huge body crashed to the ground, eyes filled with unwillingness and confusion…
Its combat strength was so terrifying that both Li Yelai and the Mountain Lord were moved.
“If you don’t use the Face, you won’t be its match!” the Mountain Lord exclaimed in surprise, sensing that this creature was significantly stronger than itself. Among those with the Sixth Sense, it was a rare powerhouse, “If it weren’t for the Immortal Palace forbidding the rise of overlords, it might have become one already!”
“Such dangerous creatures are indeed better slain first,” Li Yelai responded, glad for his choice; otherwise, facing such an enemy, he would have had to reveal his trump card.
Then, he continued to wait for a while.
After realizing no new enemies were approaching, he got up from the gate.
He had just left the gate when it slammed shut as if shunning a plague god.
Li Yelai was indifferent to this, stepping forward to place the corpses of Suan Yu and Feng Xi into the storage space, and he collected some of Suan Yu’s venom.
Next, he approached Ya Yu’s body.
“Not bad…” Li Yelai stroked Ya Yu’s still-warm body and let out a light chuckle that sent shivers down the Mountain King Avatar’s spine.
“Old Horse No.5!”
