Thinking of this, Xu Shu glanced at the strange leather bag clipped on the corner of Yan Hui’s eye.
He didn’t know what it was, but it seemed to be shaped like a ping-pong paddle.
The reason he noticed this item was because, assisted by “sensory perception,” Xu Shu detected something unusual.
He guessed that the way Yan Hui had locked onto him just moments ago, like using a cheat with clairvoyance, was likely caused by this item!
Perhaps it was some kind of cursed tool.
Amidst the dreadful sound of wailing and friction, Xu Shu’s pressure increased, and the pain in his body gradually intensified.
“This is bad… I can’t escape, can’t defeat them, these wailing sounds, the corrosive power is too strong. Staying here any longer will… uh, corrode?”
Xu Shu gritted his teeth, yet suddenly a flash of insight occurred in his mind, catching a blind spot, his expression slightly stiffened.
A moment later, his eyes swiftly turned, and he asked Yan Hui in a hoarse voice, “How did you manage to lock onto me? I’m about to die, might as well die understanding.”
Yan Hui glared venomously at Xu Shu, then concealed this emotion, saying calmly, “No comment, you should die clueless.”
Speaking, he signaled the other members of the Red Emperor Army, already showing some impatience in his eyes.
The Red Emperor Army Holy Knights immediately understood, albeit quite fatigued, under the leader’s directive, they still grit their teeth and played even more vigorously, the cries within the array grew increasingly intense.
Crack! Crack!
Xu Shu’s light shield started developing cracks at a speed much faster than before.
Seeing him grit his teeth and endure, wrapped the barrel with his body, and continually exerted pressure to regenerate the nearing breaking of Iron Wall, to absorb the almost palpable “wailing sound” from around. They couldn’t help but secretly admire this person while wondering what’s inside that barrel worth risking his life to protect.
However, this obviously inflicted more harm upon Xu Shu.
His skin started to show black cracks, his forehead veins popped, and his face twisted in response to the extreme corrosive pain unimaginable to ordinary people!
At this moment, the battlefield seemed to become a protracted endurance battle between the Red Emperor Army and Xu Shu.
This time, the “Dragon Elephant” failed to gain the upper hand because the other side was manipulating the array for combat, consuming much less.
The scale of victory tipped toward the Red Emperor Army!
This perilous situation persisted for a full thirty seconds.
Thirty seconds later, Xu Shu, struggling like a gasping, dying fish, suddenly exhaled sharply, then changed his position.
He moved from lying down to protect the barrel with his body, to lying face up, limbs spread on the ground, cursing, “Can’t hold it anymore. Seriously, Yan Hui, damn you! You’re truly someone!”
“Can’t you see I’m almost dead? Isn’t this the time you’re supposed to mock me, kick me when I’m down, show off standing triumphantly over me? Such a tight lips, completely watertight, were you raised on Montmorillonite powder?”
Once these words were uttered, the entire scene fell into a deathly silence.
Even the ghosts howling within the array momentarily fell silent.
“?” Yan Hui slowly opened his eyes, looking at Xu Shu who one moment seemed on the brink of death, then suddenly lively.
Though he didn’t speak, his slightly twisted gaze and twitching mouth seemed to ask:
Why aren’t you dead yet?
Was the pain you displayed just now an act?
What a joke!
The next second, Yan Hui suppressed his anger and looked toward his subordinates: “Keep refining! Full power!”
“Yes, leader!”
The remaining Red Emperor Army dared not say much, immediately gritted their teeth and started activating the array, crying louder, densely packed corrosive sound waves surrounded Xu Shu like a tornado, inescapable.
Strangely, the wailing here was almost deafening, yet the people upstairs and downstairs seemed completely oblivious, as if the place was perfectly sectioned off, forming an independent space.
However, by this time, Xu Shu had already taken a series of actions.
He first took out a large jar of honey from the Tai Chu’s item list — of course, to Yan Hui and the others, this appeared out of nowhere.
Item [Emergency Fresh Bee (Epic)]!
It was honey Xu Shu obtained long ago in a journey, which he preserved for a long time, facing direct confrontation from the most nauseous Evil God will.
This honey has a net content of 250 milliliters, and upon consumption, it can heal the corrosive wounds on the body, including flesh and soul, though with some side effects; drinking it induces diarrhea for a whole day. (Note: Volume 3 Chapter 101)
Of course, it wasn’t important because Xu Shu wasn’t the one drinking it.
He poured the whole jar of honey into the barrel, drenching it over Alice’s head, unbeknownst to anyone, as the sizzling honey blocked all surrounding wailing sounds.
Next, Xu Shu tilted his pelvis.
With a spark.
A massive light screen unfolded boldly in front of everyone — Hierarchy Network!
Of course, because of the protective mechanism of the Hierarchy Network, the crowd couldn’t directly spy on the screen, they could only see Xu Shu swiftly minimize the hierarchy drive, then sneakily reached out and tapped several times, his ten fingers moving together, as if chatting with someone.
