Chapter 83: Testing the waters with a cow knife! Suppressing the Purple Mansion peak
……
"Dexin probably won't make it," Ancestor Long Yan said calmly. "Ancestor Yinda mentioned that to prevent Dexin from acting recklessly, he's been keeping a close watch on him. Moreover, although that spiritual sense is powerful, it's far from reaching the invincible level of the Divine Realm."
Ever since she had slain a Purple Mansion Realm cultivator, Ancestor Long Yan's confidence had grown rapidly. Coupled with her recent acceptance of the core inheritance of the "Xuanbing Lifen True Method," her strength had naturally improved further.
Now, if she were to face some ordinary early-stage Purple Mansion Basalt cultivators, she wouldn't struggle as much as she did before.
"Forget it, forget it. Ancestor Yinda means well. After all, Dexin is a prince, and his status and reputation are significant. The likelihood of him acting personally is quite low," Wang Shouzhe said with a calm and composed smile. "The Ancestor originally wanted to send Ancestor Zhouhui to escort us, but I firmly declined. If we don't leave Dexin any outlet or hope for venting, there's no telling what more reckless things he might do."
The Wang Clan of today was no longer what it used to be; its foundation had become incredibly deep. Anyone who underestimated the Wang Clan would surely regret it.
Upon hearing about an enemy attack, Wang Anye wasn't particularly worried. Instead, he curiously asked, "Great-grandfather, did you deliberately lure the enemy to attack us?"
"When a venomous snake is eyeing you, it's better to bait it out and seize the opportunity to eliminate it than to let it hide and strike unexpectedly," Wang Shouzhe advised Anye. "This wave of enemy attacks is bound to be fierce. It's likely the strongest means Dexin has short of acting personally. Once we eliminate them, it should temporarily cool Dexin's hot-headedness, preventing him from thinking our Wang Clan is an easy target."
"Secondly, I also want to test Prince Dexin's patience. If he's exceptionally patient and knows how to bide his time, we should be more cautious of him. But as it stands, it seems Prince Dexin has inherited His Majesty's lack of patience."
"Hehe~ Grandpa, you're 'speaking ill' of the Emperor behind his back again," Wang Yingxuan giggled. "No wonder the Emperor always gets so huffy when he mentions you.""Dad, when are the bad guys going to make a move?" Wang Lilong asked eagerly, looking like she couldn't wait. "There are too many powerful people in Guilong City and the palace, it's stifling me. Especially that old dragon, always picking on me for no reason, it's so annoying~"
Wang Lilong wasn't one to have a good temper. She was used to being unruly, but in the palace, she had to behave, and it had long filled her with resentment.
Just as she finished speaking.
A "dark cloud" suddenly appeared in the azure sky.
That cloud drifted and swayed, unlike ordinary clouds, and seemed to be composed of countless tiny particles. Yet, it was just as oppressive, carrying a massive sense of pressure like a dark cloud looming over a city.
The cloud rapidly approached the flying carriage, and as it got closer, a piercing buzzing sound could be heard, like the roar of machinery, noisy and sharp, making one's scalp tingle involuntarily.
If an ordinary Basalt cultivator saw this scene, they might be so frightened that their legs would go weak just from a glance.
"A swarm of insects? Is it a spirit insect master or a Southern Barbarian Gu master? Judging by the looks, it's most likely a Southern Barbarian Gu master, which is somewhat refreshing," Wang Shouzhe said unhurriedly and calmly. "Shouyong, fly south along the corridor and find a secluded place to land to avoid harming innocents along the transport line."
The spirit insect master heritage of the Great Qian, if traced back, has some connections with the Southern Barbarian Gu Clan.
However, most spirit insect masters in the Great Qian use spirit insects in agriculture or the production of raw materials for handicrafts, such as raising spirit bees to produce spirit honey or raising spirit silkworms to increase spirit silk production.
Many spirit insect masters in the Great Qian are not very skilled in combat, and their numbers are relatively few, with high-level spirit insect masters being extremely rare.
"Yes, Fourth Brother."
Wang Shouyong, who was in charge of piloting the flying carriage, responded immediately and complied.
In the next moment.
The flying carriage suddenly accelerated, swaying as if fleeing from a natural enemy, its flight posture quite awkward.
This was Wang Shouyong's experience from years of playing lure fishing with Shouzhe. As bait, you have to appear "weak" to maximize the predator's hunting instinct.
The best hunters often appear in the form of prey.
Sure enough.
Seeing the flying carriage's awkward escape, the insect swarm became even more excited, accelerating its approach.
It seemed the other party was also unwilling to make a move near the bustling Qingbei Corridor, intending to force the Wang Clan's flying carriage into a more secluded direction. After all, intercepting in broad daylight had a higher chance of unexpected occurrences.
Since both sides had the same idea, the "cooperation" was naturally quite seamless.
In a chase and escape that lasted less than an hour, the flying carriage finally "couldn't hold on" and wobbled down into a vibrant valley.
This valley naturally contained a low-grade spirit vein, and within its core spirit acupoint, a fourth-rank bear-type fierce beast was entrenched. It was the king of this area, with all resources within its territory at its disposal.
The usually arrogant fourth-rank bear, upon seeing an unidentified flying object pulled by spirit birds invading its territory, immediately let out an angry roar: "Roar~~"
But the roar was cut short halfway, and it swallowed the second half of its roar, which should have been more imposing, turning it into a submissive "whimper." Then it prostrated itself on the ground, its head pressed tightly against the earth, slowly retreating into its cave.
It had no choice because it saw a dragon emerge from that unidentified flying object.
The dragon grew larger with the wind, its body expanding until it became a Yuan Shui Azure Dragon seven or eight zhang long.
All the azure scales on its body shimmered like jade, their edges sharp as knives. Its robust dragon body exuded a sense of power, its sharp claws gleamed with a chilling light, and atop its head, the golden dragon horns, resembling antlers, radiated a terrifying dragon might, imposing and majestic, suppressing all directions.
"Roar~"
A high-pitched dragon roar suddenly echoed.
Accompanying it was an angry loli voice: "Which sneaky dog dares to ambush your Aunt Lilong?!"
Her voice was highly penetrating, causing the space to tremble faintly.
"Hmph! Just a seventh-rank dragon whelp, still daring to be arrogant in the face of death."
An elderly voice with a foreign accent echoed from all directions.
The voice was elusive, making it impossible to discern his true form based solely on sound. Clearly, this was a master of stealth and concealment.
"Whoo~~!"
The air vibrated as a high-frequency whistle, almost inaudible to human ears, rapidly spread.
In the next moment.
The dark swarm of insects pressed down on Wang Lilong.
Each insect was about the size of a fist, with shells covered in dense white spots, menacing mouthparts thick and sharp, and limbs ending in scythe-like claws for cutting flesh. They were the signature fierce insects of the Southern Barbarian Gu Clan—[Bone-Eating Insects].
A single Bone-Eating Insect wasn't formidable, but when gathered in large numbers, they became extremely terrifying, devouring all animals in their path, leaving not even bone fragments behind.
"Lilong, step back. You're not suited for dealing with fierce insects," a gentle and steady voice sounded. From the flying carriage, a "young man" with a calm demeanor and extraordinary handsomeness stepped out into the air.
With a swipe of his wrist, a green light flashed, and a beautiful tree appeared out of thin air in the valley.
It was an incredibly tall tree, with a complex root system, and a trunk so thick that ten people could barely encircle it. The trunk was gnarled and powerful, and its lush green canopy spread above everyone's heads, instantly covering the entire flying carriage like an umbrella.
A breeze swept through, and its broad leaves swayed in the wind, exuding vibrant life. Though it was just one tree, it made people feel as if they were in a forest.
In the instant it appeared, its complex and robust roots quickly burrowed into the soil, deeply anchoring into the ground.
Simultaneously, a rich life aura spread, instantly forming a life domain around it. Within the domain, even breathing seemed to be infused with the power of life.
This tree was naturally Wang Shouzhe's life-bound immortal plant—Wang Lixian.
After more than a year of catalyzing and nurturing by Wang Shouzhe, Wang Lixian's level had now reached the fifth rank, equivalent to the mid to early stages of the Celestial Realm for human Basalt cultivators.
Her life domain had also been greatly strengthened. Although limited by her level, it couldn't compare to the great divine powers of human Divine Realm cultivators, it was still much stronger than ordinary minor divine powers, with many wondrous uses, making her quite formidable.
With Lixian's deployment, after luring the enemy, Wang Lilong also retreated behind the canopy, coiling her dragon body and raising her dragon head high, roaring, "You sneaky old fellow, come on, come fight your Aunt Lilong~~~"
Her showy, claw-waving demeanor was quite provoking.
Needless to say, the insect swarm surged forward.
Wang Lixian, unhurried and excited, waved her branches, and circles of life energy spread outward, scattering countless strange seeds.
Wang Shouzhe also cooperated by releasing waves of vibrant profound energy, enveloping those seeds.
The seeds took root and sprouted upon landing, and under the dual energy stimulation of Wang Shouzhe and Lixian, they grew into various plants in just a few breaths.
Among them, the most numerous were the improved fire dragon fruits.
Despite her young age and inability to speak clearly, Wang Lixian seemed to have an insatiable demand for firepower, never satisfied.
During her leisure time in Guilong City, in the portable cave mansion, Wang Lixian, besides listening to stories, almost incessantly pestered Wang Shouzhe to improve the fire dragon fruit, with the sole goal of making its firepower more potent.
"Yiya~"
Wang Lixian waved her branches, issuing a spirited battle cry.
"Pop, pop, pop!" The fire dragon fruits spat out fist-sized seeds, raining down on the Bone-Eating Insect swarm.
Boom, boom, boom!
Violent explosions reverberated through the valley, sending rocks tumbling.
In the sky, firelight and red clouds from the explosions bloomed like a splendid sunset. The Bone-Eating Insects were either consumed by flames or stunned by shockwaves, falling in droves like a torrential downpour.
"Yiyiyiya~~~" (Author's translation: Explosion is art)
Wang Lixian's voice was full of excitement, as the fire dragon fruits, improved generation after generation, had become more powerful.
"What kind of spirit plant is this?" The elderly voice was filled with shock. Clearly, in his long life, he had seen many spirit plants, but none as peculiar as Wang Lixian.
The swarm tactic of the Bone-Eating Insects was completely countered by Wang Lixian.
"Hmph!" The voice continued, "Do you think the old man only has the Bone-Eating Insects as a means?"
Another high-frequency, piercing insect flute sound rang out, and three fierce insects of different forms charged into the valley from various directions. Their original sizes weren't large, but as they charged, their forms grew larger.
One was an ice-blue giant toad larger than a carriage. Its body was incredibly heavy, appearing extremely cumbersome, yet it moved with surprising speed. Each leap left a thick layer of frost on the ground, freezing all plants and soil within its range into fragments.
On its back, white bulges protruded, with tiny black halos swirling within, looking extremely terrifying.
Behind it was a ghost-faced spider. It had a hideous appearance, with bright and eerie patterns on its swollen abdomen. It moved with incredible agility, leaping as if weightless, often appearing in a different place with just a flicker of the eye.
With the opening and closing of its mouthparts, a cacophony of sharp, piercing screeches echoed.
These screeches had a soul-stirring effect, causing an inexplicable sense of dread to arise within.
Both of these fierce insects were extraordinary, exuding overwhelming ferocity, clearly seventh-rank fierce insects.
The invisible pressure and sense of danger terrified the fourth-rank bear-type fierce beast, causing it to tremble and cower in its cave, covering its head.
Oh dear, what sin have I committed today? All these monsters are so fierce and terrifying. Whimper~~ There's an even fiercer one over there.
It shuddered violently, curling up even smaller.
Behind the giant toad and spider was an even larger fierce insect.
It was a massive centipede charging forward, its countless legs moving rapidly, its dark red shell exuding overwhelming malice, and its thick, venomous fangs glowing with a sinister red light, indicating its potent toxicity.
Compared to the other two fierce insects, its aura was even more chilling and terrifying, exuding a sense of indifference that seemed to disdain all life.
Even Wang Shouzhe felt a chill run down his spine upon seeing this centipede.
Eighth-rank peak!
Two seventh-rank fierce insects and one eighth-rank peak fierce insect.
Such a lineup was already a deadly force.
Although Prince Dexin had no scruples, it didn't mean he was brainless. "Dawn" was wanted, but through his own channels, he had investigated thoroughly. In this flying carriage of Wang Shouzhe's, only a seventh-rank Yuan Shui Azure Dragon posed a significant threat.
The rest were merely some Celestial Realm juniors, plus a possibly non-existent early Purple Mansion puppet.
Though he only sent one person this time, he was confident enough to successfully ambush Wang Shouzhe.
Prince Dexin had realized that everything was orchestrated by Wang Shouzhe behind the scenes. As long as Wang Shouzhe died, it would be like cutting off Wu Mingyuan's two arms.
Then, he could slowly deal with that impulsive Wu Mingyuan at his leisure.
His reasoning wasn't entirely wrong, and the Gu master he sent this time was indeed incredibly powerful.
With the appearance of the three fierce insects.
The battlefield seemed to have turned in their favor, but only "seemed."
"Lilong, you handle that ghost-faced spider, and try to draw it away a bit," Wang Shouzhe stood in the center, calmly commanding.
"Ancestor, that Ice Venom Toad is yours."
Upon hearing Wang Shouzhe's command, Wang Lilong immediately became excited, her eyes gleaming with ferocity. After a dragon roar, she charged at the ghost-faced spider, engaging it in close combat.
Amidst the earth-shattering battle, the dragon and spider fought farther and farther away.
That ghost-faced spider seemed to excel in soul attacks, and Wang Lilong, engaging it in close combat, could gain some advantage, making it a very smart choice.
On the other side, Ancestor Long Yan also stepped out of the flying carriage, her jade finger pointing as the "Lingdong Sword" emitted a soft hum, slashing toward the Ice Venom Toad.
Caught off guard, the Ice Venom Toad's back was slashed open, blue blood flowing out, freezing the surrounding land deeply.
"Croak, croak!"
The enraged Ice Venom Toad kicked its thick hind legs forcefully, lunging at Ancestor Long Yan.
Ancestor Long Yan entangled it with the Lingdong Sword, leading it toward the periphery.
By dividing the battlefield, it became easier for Shouzhe to command and arrange.
"Lixian, focus your fire on that eighth-rank variant Red-Tailed Centipede," Wang Shouzhe instructed.
"Yiya, yiya!" Wang Lixian energetically waved her branches, launching another charge.
In the next instant, fire dragon fruit projectiles rained down on the Red-Tailed Centipede.
Boom, boom, boom.
A series of explosions echoed, merely slowing the Red-Tailed Centipede's advance, causing limited damage.
This ancient variant fierce insect had a thick, sturdy shell, making it extremely difficult to deal with. Moreover, it excelled in using poison. When its venomous fangs opened, a red poisonous mist sprayed from the glands behind its fangs, dispersing into the air. Anything it touched, whether plant or stone, turned to powder.
Rows of fire dragon fruits withered, nearing death, suffering significant losses. But Wang Lixian, being an immortal plant, had a powerful life domain effect. Coupled with continuously borrowing Wang Shouzhe's life essence, she could still save half of the fire dragon fruits.
Even if she couldn't save them, it didn't matter. As long as there were enough fire dragon fruit seeds, she could engage in a prolonged war of attrition with the opponent.
The battles on all three fronts occurred almost simultaneously, and they quickly escalated into fierce combat.
"How is this possible?"
The Gu master hiding in the shadows was also shocked by the scene before him.
The Yuan Shui Azure Dragon Wang Lilong was expected, but what about Wang Shouzhe and Wang Long Yan?
Wang Long Yan, merely in the later stages of the Celestial Realm, could fight evenly with a seventh-rank Ice Venom Toad, even vaguely suppressing it.
And Wang Shouzhe, relying on an unknown spirit plant, barely held off his most powerful eighth-rank fierce insect, the Red-Tailed Centipede.
Have Celestial Realm cultivators become this formidable nowadays?
No time to think further, the Gu master could only increase the frequency of the insect flute, urging the three fierce insects to accelerate their attacks.
Especially the attack on Wang Shouzhe, which was the main breakthrough point. As long as they could break through Wang Shouzhe, the other two fronts would collapse on their own.
The sharp, high-frequency sound waves of the insect flute spread.
Receiving the command, the Red-Tailed Centipede's attack rhythm became even more frenzied.
For a moment, even Wang Lixian felt the strain, entering a berserk mode, continuously accelerating the planting of Witch's Long Hair and fire dragon fruits.
However, these plants had been improved and cultivated for only a short time, and their attack power was still not strong enough. While sufficient against Celestial Realm Basalt cultivators, they were inadequate against the eighth-rank, highly defensive Red-Tailed Centipede.
As time passed, Wang Lixian gradually showed signs of being unable to withstand the Red-Tailed Centipede, with the plant formation's defense being slowly destroyed.
Even Wang Shouzhe had to summon two Divine Spirit Artifact shields, Wang Tank and Liu Safety. They hovered around Wang Shouzhe like living beings, radiating solid and sturdy light, ensuring his safety.
"Goodness, my master." Liu Safety, upon surveying the battlefield, exclaimed in shock, "An eighth-rank fierce insect, do you have confidence, Master?"
"Rest assured," Wang Shouzhe said calmly. "Everything is under control."
"Alright, alright, I trust Master is a cautious person." Liu Safety's heart settled down, "Your safety is in my hands, feel free to execute any brilliant maneuvers."
"Buzz!"
As Liu Safety spoke, another sword hum echoed.
An ancient and heavy Divine Spirit Artifact sword joined the battlefield, with a faint image of an elderly man with white beard visible above the sword.
The old man wore a white robe, his figure somewhat ethereal, yet his demeanor was like that of a peerless old sword god in white!
Under his activation, the Divine Spirit Artifact sword "Years" emitted sharp sword beams, continuously striking the Red-Tailed Centipede.
The sword beams were majestic, like heavenly might, instantly halting the Red-Tailed Centipede's frenzied attack rhythm, leaving numerous scars on its body.
"Great-grandfather, we're here to help."
As they spoke, Wang Shouyong protected Wang Anye and Wang Yingxuan, bringing them to Shouzhe's side.
Though Wang Anye was young and weak, his Divine Spirit Artifact was formidable. With the artifact spirit Ji Wuchen in automatic combat mode, he could handle most Celestial Realm cultivators.
Simultaneously, Wang Anye took out a flag from the Boundless Treasure Ring.
This flag was naturally the legion flag "Seventh Sister."
Even without a flagpole and with many holes in the flag, it still exuded immense power.
As soon as the legion flag appeared, it soared into the air like a living being, fluttering in the wind, and emitted a silver bell-like laugh.
"How many years has it been? How many years?"
"Miss Seven hasn't appeared on the battlefield for so long."
"Though this scene is small, it still has the flavor of a battlefield~~~ It's truly intoxicating."
Wang Anye respectfully saluted and said, "Seventh Sister, some bad guys are bullying my great-grandfather, please lend a hand."
"Small scene, small scene." The legion flag Seventh Sister's voice sounded very confident, "What kind of relationship do we have? Your great-grandfather is my great-grandfather."
Upon hearing this, Wang Shouzhe and Wang Shouyong both looked at Wang Anye with surprise, "Brat, tell us, what's your relationship with this legion flag?"
The elegant Seventh Young Master of the world looked innocent, "Of course, we're siblings."
"Yes, yes, Anye and I are purely siblings," the legion flag Seventh Sister said teasingly, "You two old fellows, don't overthink."
As she spoke, the legion flag swayed in the air, and a vast and powerful energy swept across the battlefield.
Within the energy envelope of the legion flag, every ally felt their blood boil, as if they possessed endless power.
Even the fire dragon fruits, Witch's Long Hair, and other cannon fodder plants planted were stimulated to greater potential under this energy, with faster fire dragon fruit spitting and more powerful explosions.
The Witch's Long Hair also became thicker and tougher, flying and swaying in the air, entangling the Red-Tailed Centipede like a witch's hair.
The Red-Tailed Centipede found it much harder to break free and destroy them than before. As more and more "Witch's Long Hair" entangled its body, its movements gradually became slow and sluggish.
In contrast, Wang Lixian and Wang Shouzhe felt as if their strength had increased significantly.
"Yiya, yiya, huh?"
Wang Lixian, like an excited little girl, waved her branches even more frantically, continuously scattering seeds, continuously drawing life essence energy from Wang Shouzhe, and continuously planting large amounts of fire dragon fruits and Witch's Long Hair.
With both sides rising and falling.
The terrifyingly powerful Red-Tailed Centipede suffered, its thick shell gradually blasted open under concentrated fire, with fragments and juice flying everywhere.
Meanwhile, on the battlefields of Wang Lilong and Wang Long Yan, the legion flag's direct encouragement also boosted morale, significantly enhancing their strength.
Naturally, they began to suppress their opponents, and the situation was overwhelmingly favorable.
The appearance of one Wang Clan trump card after another left the Gu master hiding in the shadows astounded, especially that little brat at the end, who was he?
Despite his young age, he possessed a powerful Divine Spirit Artifact.
Even he, with his strength at the peak of the Purple Mansion Realm and a half-step Gu Saint, couldn't afford a Divine Spirit Artifact.
And was that flag a legendary legion flag? Wasn't it said that the entire Great Qian had only three legion flags, and one was on the outer region battlefield?
How could even a child of the Wang Clan, in a casual fight, summon a powerful legion flag?
This was too unfair.
Damn Prince Dexin, what kind of intelligence work was done? Not a single piece of information was accurate.
He had been so confident, claiming it was a sure thing, yet it turned out to be so challenging.
But given the current situation, there was no retreat.
All his life's work of raising Gu insects was on the battlefield, with the Red-Tailed Centipede being his life-bound spirit insect. If they all perished, it would be more painful than death.
Moreover, he had made a blood oath with Prince Dexin. As long as he could eliminate Wang Shouzhe, when the Great Qian marched south, he would be helped to reclaim his lost status and be supported as the king of the Southern Barbarian Gu Clan!
The poor Gu master, due to his sensitive identity, could only hide in a manor on the outskirts of Guilong City, without contact with the outside world, leaving his intelligence too isolated.
He hadn't even learned the crucial information that the position of the emperor's son had been decided as Commandery Prince An, and the Grand Marshal for the Southern Barbarian expedition had changed.
With no way out, he could only personally take the risk to kill Wang Shouzhe to turn the tide, or at least capture the young master with the treasure.
He couldn't afford to delay any longer; if he did, it would be total annihilation.
Countless thoughts flashed through the Gu master's mind as he subtly moved, stealthily approaching Wang Shouzhe from his hidden position.
He was extremely confident in his stealth and concealment skills. After all, as a Gu master, he wasn't known for his combat prowess.
Most Gu masters excelled at hiding their presence, preferring to attack from the shadows. Often, the enemy would die in agony without ever seeing the Gu master.
It was this characteristic of Gu masters that had caused the soldiers of the Great Qian's southern expeditions to suffer greatly, repeatedly returning in defeat.
Silently, he used various means to approach within ten zhang of Wang Shouzhe, standing there as if he were invisible.
Even that peculiar spirit plant and the tattered legion flag seemed unaware of his presence.The Gu Master quietly pulled out a jade-green dagger. Although it wasn't a Divine Spirit Artifact, it was still one of the few top-grade Purple Mansion Treasures left in their clan.
Suddenly!
He frowned. That Wang Shouzhe was truly afraid of death, surrounded by two impressive-looking shields. One of them was even chattering away, instructing the other on how to defend. The other shield responded with a series of babbling sounds.
What a bizarre sight.
One after another, Wang's Clan's Divine Spirit Artifacts kept appearing.
Given the situation, the only option was to seize that handsome young man to turn the tables.
Resolute, his figure flickered and floated forward more than three meters. Suddenly, it felt as if he had touched some kind of thread-like thing. It was a very subtle sensation, yet it seemed to have triggered some kind of alert system.
At that moment, Wang Shouzhe, who was directing the battle, turned around and smiled at him, "I've been acting for so long, and finally, I've lured you out."
"What?"
The Gu Master was startled, realizing he had fallen into a trap.
Before he could retreat, he saw a nimble figure pounce toward him, delivering a seemingly ordinary punch.
At the same time, a deafening voice boomed.
"The Wang Clan has been waiting for you."
The Wang Clan's pinnacle-level Purple Mansion Realm guardian puppet, currently the strongest combat force of the clan.
Even what seemed like an ordinary punch was filled with terrifying, world-destroying power.
The Gu Master could only hastily block, but he was struck by the punch and blasted away. Simultaneously, countless strands of a witch's long hair entangled him.
The ensuing battle was uneventful and without suspense.
The Gu Master was captured alive without any ripples, and even the three fierce insects surrendered one by one.
Such an uneventful scene made Seventh Sister of the legion flag complain repeatedly, "This is too boring. I was just getting warmed up. I didn't even get to use a few of my big battlefield moves."
Seventh Sister felt extremely disappointed with her long-awaited debut; the enemies were too weak.
"I think it's quite good," said Safety, the treasure shield that had been diligently protecting Wang Shouzhe. "True safety is when the enemy is defeated before they even reach you. I've finally met my destined master."
In this battle, Safety didn't even have the chance to block a single move for his master.
But he was very satisfied with this result. Only such a master was worthy of his loyal following, so they could live long and prosper together.
"Oh, isn't this Safety? Congratulations on finding your destined master." Seventh Sister of the legion flag laughed coquettishly, "But you've just come out of the Divine Weapon Hall, and you dare to challenge your Seventh Sister? Have you forgotten how good I've been to you?"
"Come, come, let me check if there's any dirt on you after the battle. I'll give you a good wipe."
The familiar and terrifying voice rang out again, making Safety's droplet-shaped body tremble. He quickly floated behind Wang Shouzhe, "Master, save me."
No one wants to be wiped dozens of times in one night; it's a long-lasting nightmare that won't go away.
Even Wang Shouzhe broke into a cold sweat. Forgive his limited experience, but he didn't expect life among Divine Spirit Artifacts to be so... interesting.
However, a Dao Artifact is a Dao Artifact. As long as their behavior isn't too excessive, they shouldn't be easily offended. What's the harm in being wiped a bit to satisfy someone's cleanliness obsession? It's not a big deal.
With this thought.
Wang Shouzhe pulled Wang Shouyong over and said, "Shouyong, this place isn't suitable for a long stay. Let's gather the spoils and head back to the Wang Clan immediately."
Wang Shouzhe rarely left home for so long and truly missed the little things in Ping'an Town.
"Yes, Fourth Brother," Wang Shouyong replied obediently.
The two brothers swiftly gathered the spoils, while in the distance, Safety's pitiful cries echoed, "Seventh Sister, I was wrong, please don't wipe me anymore."
"Help, Master."
Various cries of distress echoed through the valley, unending.
The emotional lives of treasures are indeed colorful, Wang Shouzhe couldn't help but sigh. Truly, the Dao Artifacts passed down by Ancestor Chuanwu are so unique.
Meanwhile, the bear curled up in the cave shivered and prayed continuously. What a terrifying group of humans. When will you leave? My bear gall is about to burst.
As the bear prayed, a small girl's figure appeared in its sight.
"Grandpa, Fifth Grandpa," Wang Yingxuan exclaimed from afar, "There's a cave here, and a bear, such a fat and big bear. It must be delicious~~"
"¥%¥……" Bear.
...
