Chapter 493: Chapter 491: No Way Out

Those defected Rangers should all have a portion of the Qiling Pearl’s Strength.

Now that Zheng Daqian is not watching, Wen Wen does not want to miss this nearly free Catastrophic Power.

In front of the Catastrophe Gloves, their ability to exert power is almost negligible, unless they encounter a Ranger who was originally of the Disaster Upper Order, otherwise, they could only become experience packs for Wen Wen.

Once he had absorbed them all, Wen Wen should be able to unlock new functions at the Sanctuary!

Wen Wen’s fists and palms met, and he said with great gusto, "I am setting off now, I want to see, which lucky one will be found by me first!"

...

Sitting in the cave, digesting power, Wild Soul suddenly grunted, veins on his forehead bulging nearly to the point of bursting.

"What happened, someone was killed?"

"Judging from the location, it should be Bai Cang... truly useless!"

Previously, twelve shared the pressure, each individual was relaxed and happy, but now suddenly one less person meant more pressure on each.

"With one less person, the power you can divide among yourself will be stronger, the possibility of breaking through to the Catastrophe Level is even greater, you should be glad," said the Man in Black Robe respectfully.

Wild Soul looked deeply at the Man in Black Robe, still unaware of this person’s intentions.

For now, he still had confidence in suppressing this Man in Black Robe, but if more people continued to die here, he might have to concentrate all his thoughts on absorbing power, which would become a great burden, leaving him no time to worry about this person.

For safety’s sake, perhaps he should kill him now; this way there would be absolutely no future troubles!

But just as Wild Soul’s murderous intent surfaced, the Man in Black Robe turned into black smoke and abruptly disappeared, leaving only a sentence, "You are somewhat irrational now, I shall wait until you succeed before returning to congratulate you."

He left very decisively, not giving Wild Soul any chance.

Wild Soul’s face showed shock; it was the first time he had discovered that the Man in Black Robe had such ability!

Being able to escape from his grasp, while his power was greatly increased, this person was definitely not simple, and such a person would not have been chased by ordinary monsters in the first place!

So his guidance to steal the Qiling Pearl definitely had ulterior motives!

"I no longer have a way out, as long as I become an existence of the Catastrophe Level, everything will be smoothed out. If I don’t break through... everything will also end!"

...

In Demon Spirit Village, Dragon Village Chief’s long eyebrows suddenly straightened, and he breathed in a cold gasp.

"The power of the Qiling Pearl has dropped, although it’s just a negligible amount, it has indeed dropped."

"This is impossible; the power of the Qiling Pearl is not to be released until it meets its true master," said the tiger-headed elder, shocked; the other two also wore expressions of disbelief.

These four True Sequence beings, having guarded the Qiling Pearl for hundreds of years, couldn’t possibly claim that they had not coveted it.

Thus, none knew better than them that it was nearly impossible for a being below the Catastrophe Level to absorb the Catastrophic Power; they could at most only borrow its power.

Disaster True Sequence possesses some characteristics of Catastrophe Level, so their strength surpasses that of ordinary disaster creatures.

The gap between them and the Catastrophe Level is only slight, but that slight gap is as vast as the heavens... it’s the distance between gods and men!

"Could it be that the person who stole the Qiling Pearl is backed by a Catastrophic presence? No, I must hurry and inform Immortal Xun!" the bird-headed woman exclaimed in shock.

Dragon Village Chief sighed and said, "What’s the use of telling him? Even if he is powerful, it’s futile if he can’t find the target. All we can do now is hope that the thief who stole the Qiling Pearl is discovered soon."

...

The Eagle Monster flew close to the ground, emitting strange ying ying ying sounds that could travel far, yet no monster responded for a long time.

In the Qi Ling Mountain, the Eagle Monster community was either slaughtered by Demon Hunters for attacking the barrier or killed by the sword array set up by Xun Ying while flying in the sky. Ultimately, only it remained of the Qi Ling Mountain’s Eagle Monster population.

This left it feeling an unspeakable loneliness and isolation, but it soon shook off the gloomy emotions.

As a prisoner under the Sanctuary, it had no right to be sentimental. What was most important now was to find what Wen Wen needed.

So, it changed its tone of voice and, after waiting a moment, nearly a hundred strange birds flew to its side.

This flock of strange birds, under the command of the Eagle Monster, all stood by in Qi Ling Mountain. The once cloud-like flock of strange birds was now reduced to less than a hundred...

The birds that did not learn to fly at low altitude had long become souls under the sword.

After issuing the task given by Wen Wen, the strange birds flew out in different directions.

The Eagle Monster found a tree and relaxed, not out of laziness but because the sky’s sword array was the greatest malice towards flying creatures like it.

Flying close to the ground suppressed the Eagle Monster’s strength severely, and crossing the boundary might get it sliced like a cooked chicken, so waiting here for news was the best option.

Now, it was already fantasizing about the rewards after completing the mission. Although Wen Wen was merciless in dealing with these monsters, he was not stingy with rewards once they proved their worth.

Meanwhile, Little Xiaomi wasn’t throwing as much flair into the job as the Eagle Monster; she was simply using the task assigned by Wen Wen as an excuse to find her old nemesis.

The monsters rivaling Little Xiaomi were generally not strong, and weaker monsters often had unique hiding spots. Therefore, this approach made her search much more efficient than searching blindly.

The deeper she ventured, the colder Little Xiaomi’s heart felt. The current Qi Ling Mountain Range was far more terrifying than when she had left.

Along the way, monster corpses could be seen everywhere, and these were from comparatively strong monsters. Smaller monsters were desperately self-guarding, and the Qi Ling Mountain Range was cloaked in fear.

The longswords hanging in the sky were like those poised over the necks of the monsters. The once vibrant dense jungle was now so silent that not even the sound of insects could be heard.

Apart from those creatures glowing with a blue light, awaiting their fateful slaughter, ordinary monsters all hid in their dens, daring not to wander outside.

Along the way, Little Xiaomi also encountered Rangers pursuing monsters. She did not run or make a fuss, but rather stood quietly aside with her head down, pulling at her skirt, drooping like an obedient bunny.

This appearance earned her the sympathy of some Rangers, and since she had no blue glow, none of them wanted to kill this pitiful rabbit.

Walking intermittently, it didn’t take long for Little Xiaomi to find a squirrel monster living in a tree hollow. This unscrupulous squirrel used to throw pine cones at her head when she passed by...

Its tree hollow was one of the most secretive spots Little Xiaomi knew of. Could the person Wen Wen was looking for be hiding here?
