Chapter 1333: Chapter 554: Treasure Without Spirit_1

Thud... As the massive dragon head rolls down, countless strange filaments stretch out from the severed ends on both sides, swiftly connecting together. Before the huge dragon head hits the ground, the filaments already link, pulling the head back.

But Owen Bertram has been waiting for this moment. With a wave of his hand, countless tiny Witch Insects swarm out like locusts, rushing into the Dragon Corpse before the head reattaches!

Owen Bertram didn’t initially use the Gourd or Mini-world to contain the Dragon Corpse because he feared the bizarre power of the Earth Veins; he didn’t use the Ghost Spirit power to erode it because doing so would likely be ineffective, wasting a chance. After some thought, Owen Bertram made an unexpected choice: poison.

The Earth Veins’ resistance to poison was certainly much stronger than ordinary creatures, but Preston Barnett’s toxins were no ordinary poisons. Moreover, those strange filaments were probably somewhere between living and non-living, so their resistance to poison must be inferior to that of the Earth Veins.

The Witch Insects whistled as they rushed in, their population doubling during the time that Owen Bertram nurtured them. As the insects entered the Dragon Corpse, they immediately crawled all around it, densely surrounding the filaments. The number of filaments was large, but the number of Witch Insects was even larger. The filaments successfully reattached the dragon head but were also tainted by the intense poison, gradually losing control of the Dragon Corpse.

Owen Bertram has always been waiting for the opportunity to behead the Dragon Corpse because the Witch Insects alone clearly lacked the ability to bite through the dragon’s defenses and enter its body.

The consciousness in the Dragon Corpse faintly felt like it was being mocked by Owen Bertram again: according to Time Reversal, all beings in this time frame would have their memories reversed, too. So Owen Bertram shouldn’t remember the previous battle.

Based on this understanding, it planned the next battle with Owen Bertram. However, now in hindsight, Owen Bertram must have remembered each battle so he could make progress during each Time Reversal, all the way to chopping off the dragon head.

However, what the consciousness didn’t know was that although Owen Bertram truly didn’t remember, Brother did. Brother informed Elder Brother every time.

Feeling that Preston Barnett’s poison had taken effect, Owen Bertram laughed without restraint and threw the Gourd Elder out. It captured the already rigid Dragon Corpse, along with all the treasures it controlled, including the Hairpin that pinned down this void!

Beneath the cliff, a huge shadow suddenly rose with a booming sound. Although it was indistinct in the Dense Fog, its power seemed to surpass that of a True Dragon! Undoubtedly, it was the main body of the special Earth Vein.

Owen Bertram suddenly had an idea and touched inside his Storage Brocade Pouch, where he found several peculiarly shaped leaves. He secretly attached these leaves to the Shell Awl and paid another Shell Coin!

Whoosh-

The Shell Awl was shot, with Brother’s Whisker coiled around its tail. This time Owen didn’t dare rely solely on the Gourd Vine Immortal Rope. The Shell Awl accurately pierced the enormous shadow, which then twisted. Though the Shell Awl was indeed powerful, its damage to the shadow was not significant.

The shadow spurred the Dense Fog, attempting to extend its massive body onto the cliff. However, it suddenly felt something was wrong... Its body twisted, and massive rumblings came from beneath the cliff. The Earth Vein hesitated in the Dense Fog for a moment, weighing pros and cons. In the end, it chose safety, roaring as it fell back down again.

The Dense Fog then started to recede, shrinking back below the cliff. Relieved, Owen Bertram headed back to whence he came without looking back, wanting to leave this mysterious world as soon as possible.

Those leaves just now were from Fern. The unprocessed fern carried a terrifying poison—Even though Preston Barnett has played with poisons his whole life, his toxins couldn’t compete with the fern’s toxicity.

Owen Bertram didn’t even remember when he put these leaves in his Storage Brocade Pouch. He probably took them as Treasure Material, picked a few and saved them for later use. Owen Bertram suddenly had an idea: since wood overcomes earth, the fern’s poison might have an unexpected effect on the Earth Vein, so he gave it a try. If the effect didn’t show, he would have only had to keep using Shell Coins and Shell Awls to stall the Earth Vein’s pursuit while escaping.

Unexpectedly, the attempt had a miraculous effect!

Seeing the Hairpin being removed and the void’s seal becoming invalid, the Earth Vein gave up chasing. It couldn’t completely keep its secret even if it killed Owen Bertram, who possibly had informed someone during the brief opening. So it decided to return and deal with its own problems, swiftly arranging various measures in preparation for the crisis brought by the leaked secret.

Dark fog retreated at rapid speed over the pitch-black land, exposing many unsuspecting Demon Sacrifice Beasts. Without the cover of the Dense Fog, the eyeballs had the advantage, and they excitedly sank into the ground. When they reappeared, they successfully transformed a Demon Sacrifice Beast. Consequently, large numbers of Demon Sacrifice Beasts turned to attack their "own kind."

The counterattack of the eyeballs had begun!

The Evil King was delighted because the retreating Dense Fog evidently meant its ally’s success, leaving a fire in the backyard beneath the cliff. Things would be simple if they retreated. There was no need for it to use its last resort, that choice would lead to mutual destruction anyway.
