Chapter 87: The War God Descends

Chapter 87: Chapter 87: The War God Descends

The men heard Ye Yunyi’s words, and smiles appeared on their faces.

"Brother Ye, no need to be so polite. We just mean that we’ll look out for each other from now on."

"Should we head out now?" a Diamond Mutant asked.

He was worried. After all, those Late-Golden Stage Patriarchs had also won the Antidote Medicine at the auction!

They assumed there would be powerful Exotic Beasts inside and that they couldn’t just rush in.

That’s why they had come to find Ye Yunyi first.

’Those Patriarchs who won the Antidote Medicine at the auction must be on their way to the Land of Poison Barrier already!’

’The earlier they get there, the more Crystal Cores they’ll be able to obtain.’

’Otherwise, those Patriarchs will get all the good stuff!’

Ye Yunyi listened, a smile on his face.

’Anxious?!’

’What’s the rush?’

’There’s nothing left for them anyway!’

’I left a few Crystal Cores in the outer areas!’

’But in the depths!’

’Heh heh!’

’As if I’d leave any High-Level Crystal Cores behind!’

’There aren’t even many Exotic Beasts left in there!’

’There might be a few that slipped through the cracks, but I can count them on two hands!’

Seeing how anxious these old codgers were, Ye Yunyi felt even less rushed.

"Come, let’s sit down and have some tea first. There’s no rush."

Ye Yunyi’s words made everyone’s eyes widen. They couldn’t believe what they had just heard.

’Have some tea first?’

’This guy...’

’Is he really that uninterested in the Land of Poison Barrier?’

’What the hell?’

"Brother Ye, we should really get going!" one of them urged, and the others chimed in.

With that, the group prepared to head out.

"Fine."

Ye Yunyi followed them and then let out a sharp whistle.

The Qingling Roc flapped its wings and arrived outside the garden!

Once outside the garden, Ye Yunyi tapped his foot and leaped directly onto the Qingling Roc’s back. The Roc then beat its great wings!

HUFF!

In an instant, sand and stones were sent flying!

The Qingling Roc immediately soared straight up!

The Diamond Mutants: ’...’ ’We’re not on board yet!’

’We’re not on board yet!!’

In that moment, they finally seemed to understand why Ye Yunyi hadn’t been in a hurry.

’Ye Yunyi has a mount like this!’

’Why the hell would he be in a hurry?!’

They looked up at the sky!

After just a few flaps of its wings, the Qingling Roc had already vanished from sight.

"Let’s go, quickly!"

It was unclear who spoke, but the words snapped everyone back to reality.

They scrambled toward the Land of Poison Barrier.

If they were late this time, there would truly be nothing left!

In that instant, they all felt as if inviting Ye Yunyi had been a terrible mistake!

「At the same time.」

Here, in the Land of Poison Barrier, several Patriarchs had already ventured deep inside.

But after searching for a while, they hadn’t found a single Crystal Core!

The corners of their mouths twitched.

"Why are there no Crystal Cores?!"

"Yeah! I couldn’t find any either!"

"Do you think it’s because this place is just too poisonous? Maybe the High-Level Beasts are smart enough to stay away?"

His words made everyone’s heart sink.

’Please don’t let that be true!’

After all, they had paid a fortune for the Antidote Medicine based on reports from other Mutants that there could be many Late-Golden Stage and even Diamond Level Exotic Beast Crystal Cores deep within.

But now, this was the reality they faced.

The Patriarchs’ faces fell.

But!

The next moment!

RUSTLE, RUSTLE!

A strange sound suddenly rang out!

It immediately drew the Patriarchs’ attention.

They followed the sound with their eyes, looking toward a giant tree nearby!

Then!

They saw a giant centipede coiled there!

This centipede was incomparably huge, like a car from before the apocalypse!

Its whole body was crimson!

And, on its back, it actually had three pairs of wings!

A Six-winged Blood Centipede!

In an instant, the Patriarchs saw the Exotic Beast and recognized it for what it was!

Immediately, their scalps went numb!

This was a Late-Golden Stage venomous creature!

Furthermore, this Blood Centipede’s exoskeleton was extremely hard!

It was not something they could withstand head-on! And it was incredibly venomous!

’We’re in trouble!’

"Together!"

Just as one Patriarch shouted, the Blood Centipede’s countless legs began to move in unison!

It was incredibly fast!

It rushed towards that Patriarch!

That Patriarch took out a Giant Blade and hacked towards the Blood Centipede!

However, the blade striking the Blood Centipede’s body was just like chopping a hard steel plate!

Not only did the blow leave no mark, but the Patriarch himself felt a painful jolt shoot up his arm!

’Damn!’

Afterward, the Blood Centipede whipped its tail and sent that Patriarch flying!

Seeing this, the other Patriarchs felt their courage waver.

’How are we supposed to deal with this thing?!’

The very next moment, while they were still thinking, the Blood Centipede suddenly raised its upper body!

Then a stream of venom shot out in all directions!

"Dodge, quick!"

The Patriarchs moved swiftly, diving behind trees for cover.

HISS!

The moment the venom touched the giant trees and the ground below, puffs of white smoke erupted!

And the corrosion didn’t stop; it ate deeper and deeper into the material.

There was no telling when it would end.

Watching this, the Patriarchs understood.

’This Blood Centipede from the Land of Poison Barrier... it’s different from the ones outside!’

’Its venom is far more potent!’

’This is... What are we waiting for?!’

"Split up and run!" one of the Patriarchs said from behind a tree, his voice trembling.

After all! If they scattered, the Blood Centipede would surely hunt them down.

Plus, their strength would be divided.

’It’s likely that one or two of us Patriarchs will die here today!’

But this was their only option.

The next moment, everyone scattered and fled!

The Six-winged Blood Centipede saw the Patriarchs’ intentions!

Instantly, the three pairs of wings on its back unfurled!

Then flapped!

It shot forward at maximum speed, heading towards one of the Patriarchs!

"Ah!"

A Patriarch watched the Blood Centipede hurtle toward him, despair rising in his heart.

’Why did it have to pick me?!’

’This is certain death, isn’t it?’

Seeing this, the other Patriarchs put on a burst of speed, preparing to get away even faster.

Otherwise, it might be their turn next!

That Patriarch watched the Blood Centipede close in, knowing he couldn’t escape!

He immediately spun around, Weapon in hand, ready to fight back.

’Time to fight for my life!’

But, in the instant this thought arose in his mind!

WHOOSH!

The sound of something slicing through the air came from the distance!

Then, it directly pierced through the Blood Centipede’s head!

In the air! A flash of white light streaked through, and the Blood Centipede’s head exploded in a gruesome spray of blood.

THUD!

Following the heavy thud of its body hitting the ground, that Patriarch looked at the dead Blood Centipede, his body trembling!

’What was that?!’

’It’s dead?!’

’It’s dead... just like that?!’

The other Patriarchs also stopped in their tracks, shock in their eyes.

Then they looked to the side, only to see a hole pierced clean through a giant tree!

After penetrating the giant tree, the white light had buried itself in the ground! It was now nowhere to be seen.

’What was that?!’

’What was that white light?!’

’Can someone please tell us?!’

In that instant, they were all screaming in their minds!

The next moment!

THUMP!

A figure descended from the sky and landed heavily in front of them!
