Chapter 488 - 204: Hidden Motives and the Scramble for the Ancient Origin Fruit (3)
"The Armored Man is mine!"
"The fat one is mine!"
The Holy Ghost Race Lord and the Golden Spirit Race Lord volunteered themselves.
"Alright! Make sure to kill in one blow. Give them no time to react," said Lou La seriously.
"Understood."
The Holy Ghost Race Lord and the Golden Spirit Race Lord exchanged glances, feeling that Lou La was making a big deal out of nothing.
Lou La might be slightly stronger than them, but not by much. They only gave him face because of his Celestial Race status.
The ten Lords finalized everything and jumped down from the peak.
They then crossed the valley, advancing to the base of the mountain where the Ancient Origin Fruit Tree stood.
Yi Tian and Shimmering Gold had been following them all along.
"Shimmering Gold, I estimate that even if we can take down a Lord, at most we can only take down one or two. Taking down more is a bit unrealistic," Yi Tian thought for a moment, lowering his voice to speak to Shimmering Gold.
Each of these Lords was clutching a Celestial Dao Stone in their hands.
It would be difficult to kill them.
Additionally, Yi Tian wanted to personally take down these Crowned Horror Birds to gain points.
"As long as we can make them retreat with their tails between their legs, I’ll be much more satisfied," Shimmering Gold also knew that killing was difficult.
No one in their right mind would face danger without holding a Celestial Dao Stone in hand.
"Alright! We’ll see how it goes," Yi Tian nodded.
"Grrrrr..."
The Crowned Horror Birds had already noticed some living creatures entering their territory.
One by one, they awoke, letting out deep, roaring sounds.
Clearly birds, yet their voices were as rough as beasts, echoing through the mountains.
Once the Crowned Horror Birds locked onto their targets, they rushed down from the peak on their long legs.
They traversed the rocky terrain as if it were flat ground.
In less than a minute, both sides were in combat.
Ting Yi and Lou La unleashed SSS-level martial skills, aiming at the strongest Crowned Horror Bird.
"Bang! Bang!"
The strongest Crowned Horror Bird easily neutralized the attacks from Ting Yi and Lou La with its massive beak.
Ting Yi and Lou La attacked again, making the strongest Crowned Horror Bird focus on them.
Seeing their plan work, Ting Yi and Lou La swiftly used body techniques to leap around the mountains.
The remaining ten Crowned Horror Birds were slightly weaker in overall strength compared to these Lords.
The eight Lords seemed to be mixed in a scuffle with the ten Crowned Horror Birds.
To trap Yi Tian and Shimmering Gold, they initially did not use their strongest lethal moves for a significant strike, instead focusing on temporary defense.
Furthermore, they intentionally lured the ten Crowned Horror Birds aside, temporarily giving way for Yi Tian and Shimmering Gold to advance to the Ancient Origin Fruit Tree.
"Shan Dashan, Fei Yiming. Quickly, grab the Ancient Origin Fruit. We can’t hold on much longer, we need to retreat soon," the Holy Ghost Race Lord shouted.
"Alright! Once the Crowned Horror Birds see the Ancient Origin Fruit being taken, they will undoubtedly do anything to chase us down. You must hold on. We’re going now."
"Don’t worry! We’ll give it our all."
After receiving the response, Yi Tian and Shimmering Gold sprinted towards the Ancient Origin Fruit Tree halfway up the mountain.
He figured the ten Lords would surely let the Crowned Horror Birds escape on purpose.
Then they’d pretend to come and help!
Yi Tian and Shimmering Gold had only reached the mountain’s base, yet they hadn’t climbed more than three or four hundred meters.
"Not good, couldn’t block them..."
The Golden Spirit Race Lord let out an "exaggerated" shout.
Two Crowned Horror Birds broke free from the Lords’ entanglement, charging towards Yi Tian and Shimmering Gold.
None of the eight Lords attacked these two Birds.
"That’s it! The Ancient Origin Fruit is yours, we’re teleporting away," Shimmering Gold, with a hint from Yi Tian, let out a wail.
"Hold on! We’re coming to help,"
The Holy Ghost Race Lord shouted, along with the Golden Spirit Race Lord, chasing after the two Crowned Horror Birds.
They even put on a show by attacking the two Crowned Horror Birds with elemental attacks.
The Crowned Horror Birds, seeing Yi Tian close to the Ancient Origin Fruit, were determined to attack Yi Tian.
But then, Yi Tian and Shimmering Gold stopped heading to the mountain’s midsection and instead ran downhill.
As if they didn’t want the Ancient Origin Fruit at all.
The two Crowned Horror Birds, seeing Yi Tian and Shimmering Gold suddenly moving away from the Ancient Origin Fruit Tree, and being attacked by the trailing Holy Ghost Race Lord and Golden Spirit Race Lord, became increasingly aggressive.
They shifted their focus to attack the Golden Spirit Race Lord and the Holy Ghost Race Lord.
"Shan Dashan, Fei Yiming, what are you doing?" The Golden Spirit Race angrily shouted at the two who "gave up halfway."
Damn it, if only I had let Yi Tian and Shimmering Gold get over a thousand meters closer before releasing the two Crowned Horror Birds.
Then, it would have been easy to get up, but difficult to get down.
"It’s too dangerous! Seeing that you don’t seem to be holding up well, we’re afraid to go up," Yi Tian replied to the Golden Spirit Race Lord.
"However, we can help you fight the Crowned Horror Birds."
Just as the Golden Spirit Race Lord was about to curse, Yi Tian changed his tone.
"Hurry, come quickly." The Golden Spirit Race Lord felt delighted, thinking: once you get close, I’ll kill you in one blow.
The disparity in cultivation made them underestimate Yi Tian.
With that remark from the Golden Spirit Race, Yi Tian and Shimmering Gold started to stealthily move behind the Golden Spirit Race Lord.
At this moment, the Golden Spirit Race Lord was simultaneously using elemental attack, elemental defense, and elemental blessing to maneuver, making the Crowned Horror Birds unable to do anything to him.
The Holy Ghost Race Lord was the same, but unlike the Golden Spirit Race, he was a Qi Refiner, capable of close-quarters combat. His physical strength was also extraordinarily strong.
A minute later, Yi Tian and Shimmering Gold were not far from the Golden Spirit Race Lord and the Holy Ghost Race Lord.
Yi Tian began plotting an attack on the Golden Spirit Race Lord and the Holy Ghost Race Lord.
They were also waiting for Yi Tian to get close, to deliver a fatal blow.
"Fireball."
Yi Tian used fire magic, launching a series of ten fireballs.
"Bang! Bang!"
Each fireball had an attack power of 3000+, but the Crowned Horror Birds were too tough, making it feel like scratching an itch.
"Golden Sword Qi!"
Shimmering Gold also imitated Yi Tian with a sword swing.
Not a single feather was cut!
The Golden Spirit Race Lord and the Holy Ghost Race Lord almost couldn’t hold back their laughter.
This attack seemed like a joke, the early-stage A-level was indeed weak.
