Chapter 999 - 508: Flaw of the Supreme Treasure, Devouring Evil Spirit (2)

General Liu changed his tone: "However, we are urgently organizing support forces, and the first batch of troops is expected to enter the space maze in ten minutes."

Bond felt a chill in his heart.

Still have to wait ten minutes?

But he couldn’t complain because the command center had advised him to evacuate earlier, but he refused to leave, and they met all his demands.

Bond interrupted the communication and shouted: "More poisonous ants may emerge at any time, everyone speed up!"

He deliberately reminded: "Always watch your step! Be careful of those damned bugs sneaking up from underground."

The sound of explosions and gunfire became more intense.

The swarm of poisonous ants seemed bewildered for a moment and retreated a short distance.

The Lan shi people seized the opportunity and accelerated their advance.

*

A few kilometers away.

From Black Star’s vantage point, the battlefield situation was clearer.

It keenly noticed the formation of the poisonous ant swarm changing: "The eyeless poisonous ants are about to start their attack. It seems they’ve found a flaw."

Black Star decisively informed another Spirit Crow: "Flash Stab, get ready to take action!"

"Understood!"

Flash Stab responded.

After all, the Lan shi people were nominally "allies," and there were still many drones closely monitoring the situation on the battlefield, so the Spirit Crows couldn’t act recklessly.

The best method was to use the poisonous ant swarm’s attack, waiting for the Lan shi Superpower User to be broken and secretly take down Bond.

Afterwards, even if the Lan shi people investigated the surveillance, they couldn’t blame the Great Xia people.

Sure enough.

Only three seconds had passed.

The eyeless poisonous ants launched a round of offensive.

Dozens of poisonous ants suddenly opened their mouthparts, spewing black toxic liquid rapidly at the Lan shi people.

The toxic liquid arced through the air, dissipating silently and quickly spreading a toxic fog that enveloped the Lan shi people’s team.

The Supreme Treasure, Warhorse Shield’s super defensive force can only protect the bodies of the Lan shi Superpower Users but cannot defend against exoskeletons and other equipment.

This is the second flaw of the Supreme Treasure.

Soon.

The Lion King exoskeleton modified by the Lan shi people was subjected to the strong corrosion of the toxic fog; its surface armor developed many holes, damaging many internal components, causing a series of exoskeletons to be disabled.

Black Star observed this scene and couldn’t help but comment: "Truly a bunch of self-proclaimed smart fools! Exoskeletons must have sufficient mobility, if you hadn’t modified them into heavy armor, you would have evacuated the space island by now."

At the same time.

Another group of eyeless poisonous ants took advantage of the chaos among the Lan shi people, suddenly burrowing underground, using earth-travel type superpowers to quickly approach the prey.

They suddenly unfolded the shell on their abdomen, spraying a very sticky black liquid, covering the Lan shi Superpower User’s head and face.

Black Star immediately praised: "These big ants are really clever!"

Using sticky liquid to cover the face doesn’t belong to power attack, nor does it belong to superpower attack, thus neatly bypassing the Warhorse Shield’s defense.

Bond, bearing an especially conspicuous large tower shield, which still emitted a faint glow, naturally became a primary target for attack.

Six eyeless poisonous ants appeared around this guy, spraying him with a large amount of black sticky liquid, directly wrapping him into a big dumpling.

They quickly displayed their superpowers, causing the ground to squirm like liquid, directly dragging Bond underground.

Black Star glanced at Bond, and joyously flapped its wings.

Done!

*

On the battlefield.

The instant Bond was dragged underground, he fell into extreme panic.

Even though protected by the Warhorse Shield, the black sticky liquid was blocked by an invisible membrane, but he couldn’t see anything underground, and his heart was filled with intense fear.

He immediately used metal nerves to open the communication system, shouting frantically: "General Liu, I’ve been dragged underground by the poisonous ants, I need emergency support!"

He didn’t forget to contact the representative stationed at the command center from his own country: "General William, my situation is extremely dangerous, please urge the Great Xia people!"

However.

The communication interface popped up a line of red text: "Sorry, your network has been disconnected!"

Bond’s heart suddenly sank.

The communication helmet he wore had its core components as a smart chip manufactured by Great Xia.

The Lan shi Kingdom had no capability to manufacture such high-end chips, so naturally, it couldn’t replace the chip.

Anyone could deduce that unless the helmet was damaged, the network wouldn’t inexplicably disconnect.

So the answer is clear—Great Xia people quietly severed the network connection of the chip.

At this moment.

"Caw~"

The sound of a crow cry entered his ears.

Spirit Crow Flash Stab had arrived.

Bond shivered all over, immediately realizing that the Great Xia people sent a Spirit Crow to eliminate him.

He began his death struggle: "My Warhorse Shield can reflect any attack. If you make a move on me, you’ll definitely die."

Flash Stab’s voice drifted over again: "Mr. Bond, I understand the power of the Warhorse Shield, of course I won’t make a move on you."

Bond relaxed a bit, but then heard another sentence: "But this ’Devouring Evil Spirit’ seems to be very interested in you."

The so-called "Devouring Evil Spirit" was indeed a trophy obtained by Yang Fan from hunting a Primordial Evil Race Demon Eye Race Knight Powerhouse.

It was a black stone jar, inside which an evil existence capable of killing a middle rank knight was sealed.

The Demon Eye Race knight intended to use the Devouring Evil Spirit to kill Yang Fan but ended up being used by Yang Fan, themselves being eliminated by the evil spirit.

In the next moment.

"Bang!"

Bond heard a cracking sound.

His body trembled, with his hair standing on end, sensing an unprecedented strong sense of crisis.

From a supernatural perspective, he "saw" a blood-red skull head, radiating endless malice, floating toward him.

Bond immediately felt his body grow heavy.

He glanced at his right hand, pupils suddenly shrinking, filled with profound horror.

He saw wrinkles appear on the skin of his right hand, resembling an elderly person’s hand.

This is a sign of life force depleting.

Fearful, Bond had a thought in his mind: "Why is this happening?"

This was clearly an attack, why couldn’t the Warhorse Shield bounce it off?

Flash Stab seemed to have guessed his question and kindly answered: "Mr. Bond, the area where the Devouring Evil Spirit appears will turn into a peculiar domain.

"You can understand this as another world, life force depletion is the characteristic of this world.

"This isn’t a direct attack targeting you; it’s more like air and water could the Warhorse Shield reflect air and water? Obviously not!"

Flash Stab emphasized: "Although the Warhorse Shield is powerful, it has many vulnerabilities."

Bond didn’t hear the last sentence.

His body had already lost most of its life force, turning into a terrifying corpse.

Due to the influence of the evil spirit domain, his soul drifted out of his body.

The blood-red skull head swooped in, opened its mouth, and swallowed the soul.

Flash Stab carefully sensed for a moment and laughed pleasantly: "The master’s prediction is very accurate, Bond had the protection of the Supreme Treasure, his soul wouldn’t be easily digested by the Devouring Evil Spirit.

"This time he is in a peculiar wandering soul state, perhaps the master can really create miracles, extracting the Supreme Treasure from Bond’s soul."
