Chapter 55 Miners
Chapter 55 Miners
Following Fensne's direction, everyone immediately looked over.
Immediately, Chestnut, Glenn, Ethan... everyone showed a rather unexpected look of surprise!
About a hundred meters away, on the fallen corpse of the King of Giant Jaws,
To be precise, it is on its body surface, on those fine, dark metallic scales that resemble fish scales, that secret runes are beginning to appear!
"It's a secret agreement! A secret agreement is forming!"
Chestnut's pretty face was full of joy, and the other teammates, including Glenn, were also extra happy.
And the reason they were happy was the same as the joyful shout that Fensne had just let out.
That means... I can finally make it up to Xia Fa!
Just now, Xia Fa almost exhausted his mental energy and lost control in order to save everyone.
The secret contract currently forming on the body of this giant jaw beast king can serve as a trophy for Shafa.
They all decided to give up their share and give it all to Xiafa!
In fact, given that Xia Fa had just saved them, they should have done so, but now they were even more convinced of this idea.
In the air, whether it was the bloodshot eyes, the military telegraph machine, or the human head entwined with vines, they all looked toward the secret contract that was being formed.
Xia Fa was somewhat surprised. He had been wondering why some secret contracts were on bone fragments while others were on animal hides.
Now he finally understood that this secret contract... was also formed from strange or supernatural creatures!
"It's the 'Servant of Spirits' contract. Hehe, Xia Fa, you're lucky to have obtained a high-level contract."
Tyrene spoke up, clearly indicating that as a cardinal bishop of the Silver Church and the guide for this trial in the Mysterious Realm, he also intended to directly distribute this high-level secret contract to Xia Fa.
"A servant of the spirit realm?"
Xia Fa asked curiously, mainly because he hadn't seen this advanced secret contract in the Book of Secret Contracts before. It was in the Secret Contract Statistics Catalog, but there was no description of its abilities.
"That's right, the Spirit Servant Contract is a very powerful high-level contract. Transcendent beings who sign the Spirit Servant Contract can go to the Star Spirit Realm to find powerful 'spirits' and subdue them, up to a maximum of three!"
Axel explained with a smile that he, who had previously considered himself a former member of the royal family and an elder of the Augustus family, was now unusually enthusiastic about Shafa.
Seeing this, Glenn forcibly suppressed the urge to tease his uncle. His uncle, when he got shameless, was truly unmatched by ordinary people.
Soon, the advanced secret contract of the Spirit Servant was completed on the body of the King of Giant Jaw Beasts.
Without Tyrene or Axor giving any instructions, Glenn flicked his wrist and threw the longsword toward the location of the secret agreement, simultaneously manipulating the sword with wind.
Under his control, the longsword deftly circled the high-level secret contract of the Spirit Servant, easily severing it.
Immediately, Glenn manipulated the airflow to send the longsword back along with the Spirit Servant's Secret Contract.
He grabbed the sword hilt from mid-air with one hand, while the Spirit Servant Michi fell into Xia Fa's arms.
Seeing everyone's gazes upon him, Xia Fa didn't stand on ceremony. After briefly glancing at the secret inscriptions on the Spirit Servant Contract, he tucked it into his robes and chuckled:
"Everyone, if we manage to escape this eerie realm, I'll treat you all to dinner at the Dirisis Restaurant in the west of the city!"
Dilisis Restaurant is the most upscale and luxurious restaurant in Rum City. On ordinary days, only nobles are qualified to dine there.
Ethan laughed and put his arm around Shafa's shoulder:
"Haha, that's generous! I've decided to be your friend!"
Everyone smiled and nodded in response, their faces showing anticipation.
Immediately, everyone realized the biggest problem they were facing.
On the vast, desolate, and scorching wilderness, after the thrilling battle, the number of giant jaw beast skeletons had hardly decreased.
After all, there are nearly ten million skeletons of giant jaw beasts here, along with tens of thousands of skeletons of human-headed crocodiles. They only killed less than a hundred of them at most, which had almost no impact on the total number.
After the death of the King of the Jawed Beasts, the Jawed Beast skeletons no longer launched teleportation raids along with the human-headed crocodiles. However, they still stood firmly in the way of the group and the southeast exit, vast and imposing like a sea, making it impossible for the group to cross.
"The temperature in the Ghost Realm has risen again, almost reaching sixty degrees Celsius. If we don't find a way out soon..."
Fensne spoke with considerable concern, continuing:
"The concentration of fire element in the air is still increasing. In two minutes at most, I won't be able to generate water spheres anymore. The power of the Water Bond will be neutralized by fire element as soon as it leaves my body."
Everyone looked pleadingly at the eyeball in the air, the military telegraph machine, and the vine-covered head.
However, the three demigods were unusually silent at this moment.
In fact, if they could come down in person and lead everyone to the exit, it would be an easy task.
Unfortunately, this high-risk, elephant-level domain was in the process of forming, with its supernatural power in disarray and its spatial turbulence extremely violent, preventing them from breaking through the domain's boundary to provide support.
Just as everyone was stuck in this seemingly unsolvable problem, suddenly, an old and weathered voice rang out among them.
"I have a way to get everyone out of here."
Ethan, who had been frowning in thought, asked instinctively without thinking:
"What method?"
But as soon as he uttered that question, his burly body trembled violently, and his expression changed instantly.
Not only him, but everyone else, including Xia Fa, also suddenly changed their expressions.
Because that aged voice didn't come from the eyeball vine head or the military telegraph machine, and the team in this operation was full of young people, so their voices couldn't possibly sound that old.
In other words... there's suddenly someone else between them!
Everyone felt their scalps tingle, as if they were about to explode, and their necks stiffened slightly as they turned inch by inch toward the direction from which the sound came.
Immediately, everyone trembled violently, their faces filled with extreme terror!
There, sitting in that spot, was an old man.
He has a resolute face, and even though he is old, you can still tell that he was once a heroic and handsome man.
He was dressed in miner's clothes, a sky-blue denim jacket paired with work pants, and crocodile-patterned high boots with slightly upturned toes.
His face carried a weariness that seemed to have seen through life, as if he had experienced far too much.
The moment the old miner was noticed, the eyeball representing Tyrene, the military telegraph machine representing Bedivere, and even the vine-like head representing Axor all fell silent.
They dared not speak, because the old miner was not speaking to them, but to Xia Fabanli and the others.
Therefore, all three demigods understood that if they interrupted without permission, unimaginable and terrible things would happen!
Because this old man was...
