Chapter 1706 - 1705: Stalemate
"Damn it! Who is scheming behind all this, trying to capture us all? Could it be the people from the Heavenly Court?" said a Great Mahayana Monster, his tone grim.
Looking at the clansmen behind, previously escaping from the Ancient Altar, there were nearly a thousand people left. After this battle, only fewer than three hundred remained.
"Impossible! If it were the Heavenly Court’s forces, they would have shown themselves long ago and not stayed hiding in the shadows! Moreover, the Heavenly Court’s Erlang God tried to capture us invaders by using a Secret Technique in combination with a Fake Immortal Formation, consuming all of the Heavenly Court’s forces and transforming them into monsters; they couldn’t possibly set another trap here!"
"Makes sense! I agree with this opinion! If it was truly Erlang God from the Heavenly Court, it wouldn’t be that simple! If my guess is correct, it should be some major power that wants to wait until we both suffer losses and reap the benefits, that’s why they set up this scene purposely."
A group of Great Mahayana Monsters discussed countermeasures, their faces clouded.
"Then tell us, what should we do now?" said the Mahayana Monster who spoke earlier.
"Hmph! What else can we do? Wait! Should we just send ourselves to die for nothing?"
The discussion ended uneventfully, the remaining clans, fewer than two thousand five hundred strong, stood gloomily behind the sea of flowers, staring at the poisonous green mist in front, wishing to slaughter whoever was behind this.
As time passed, half a month went by in the blink of an eye.
The hundred clan forces grew increasingly anxious, having tried countless methods to break through the flower sea, but no matter what, they couldn’t break through. Each attempt was costly in lives.
By now, of the original two thousand five hundred, fewer than two thousand remained.
At this moment, they anxiously looked behind them, as if some terrifying monster was hidden back there.
Meanwhile, on the opposite side of the flower sea.
Zhang Xiaohao and the other two were coldly hidden within the flowers.
"Brother Hei, have you felt it? Lately, the oppressive atmosphere in the air is getting stronger, like some dangerous beast is about to emerge," said Zhang Xiaohao sternly.
"Indeed! Even without mentioning, I’ve felt it too. Seems there’s really some monster behind them," Hei Wuchang nodded seriously.
"Brother Hei, as long as we can obtain the Heavenly Tribulation Divine Pill, no matter the cost, even if we must sacrifice three Mystic Sky Treasures, we must get hold of that pill!" said Zhang Xiaohao with gravity.
"With Brother Qu’s words, I feel more assured! This time, even if it means a severe loss of my thousand-year vitality, I will seize the Heavenly Tribulation Divine Pill!" Hei Wuchang said earnestly.
"Hmm." Zhang Xiaohao nodded.
Standing at the edge of the flower sea, the three observed the opposite situation closely.
The trio’s breath-concealing skills were strong, even with those Great Mahayana Monsters on the opposite side, none could detect them.
Gradually, the oppressive atmosphere in the air grew heavier, unusual enough to make Zhang Xiaohao and the others sense something amiss.
Boom, boom, boom!
Suddenly, the ground shook, resounding with powerful noises as a hundred-foot-tall sky-covering monster appeared in Zhang Xiaohao’s sight. Additionally, over a dozen rays of light flew rapidly from the ground, heading their way.
In just a few flickers, these rays halted in front of the hundred clan’s powerhouses.
"Why haven’t you left yet? Erlang God, that monster, is about to come kill us!" Ten or so Heavenly Court members stopped, and one wearing a Gold Star Taibai mask shouted coldly.
"Hmph! Isn’t it because of you! A highly poisonous array has been set here; even Great Mahayana Monsters facing such toxins would be doomed! If you wish to die, feel free to try!" sneered a Great Mahayana Monster sarcastically.
"Hmph! Try it, really think I’m scared?" Gold Star Taibai sneered coldly.
Before the Great Mahayana Monster could react, Gold Star Taibai grabbed a clansman beside him and threw him into the dark green mist.
Sss, sss, sss!
As that burly man entered the verdant poisonous mist, in less than three breaths, he was completely corroded.
"You seek death! Really think I’m afraid of you?" Roared the Great Mahayana Monster furiously upon seeing this scene.
"Hmph! Erlang, that monster, is right behind and will soon be here! If you don’t want him to reap the rewards, go ahead and try!" sneered the Gold Star Taibai mask wearer.
"Hmph!" The Great Mahayana Monster snorted but didn’t make things difficult for him further.
"Everyone, time is of the essence, Erlang God, that monster, will arrive here in no more than a quarter of an hour! If we don’t figure out a way to leave now, when he arrives, all present will die!" said Gold Star Taibai coldly.
"You’re Gold Star Taibai of the Heavenly Court, holding a high status there! Since all this was set by you, surely you have prepared for sufficient backup! Stop holding back and speak up!"
"We are all in the same boat now; if Erlang comes, none will escape death! If you continue to hide anything, even in death, we’ll drag you down with us!"
"Speak up! How should we proceed?"
A group of Great Mahayana Monsters coldly stared at the dozen Heavenly Court members.
Despite being surrounded by so many Great Mahayana Monsters, Gold Star Taibai’s team showed no fear and remained calm, so calm that a pin drop could be heard, none urged him.
A moment later, Gold Star Taibai coldly glanced at them before speaking.
"Indeed, I have a way to escape, but it can only take fifty people! Our side has thirteen; decide the remaining thirty-seven slots yourselves! You have ten breaths, act quickly!"
With Gold Star Taibai’s words, the remaining hundred clan forces fell into chaos, hastily speaking:
"Great Elder, I possess extraordinary talent, please take me away!"
"Supreme Elder, please, I’m your direct heir! You must take me away!"
"Elder, I can warm your bed; I don’t want to die. As long as you take me away, I’ll do anything you say!"
