Chapter 501: Chapter 364: The Conjunctive Body Protection Charm_3

Elton and his brothers collectively shook their heads, all saying, "Our cultivation is not up to par, and we aren’t very quick-witted. We lack improvisation skills, so we may not be cut out for this task..."

"No excuses!" Nethan lowered his voice and angrily reprimanded them. Their large gathering had already stirred up the surrounding demon plants. "You four possess a family inherited Linked Body Protection Spell. If danger truly arises, only you all can withstand Owen Bertram’s attack!"

Elton, knowing that he couldn’t evade the situation, reluctantly said, "After this, we four brothers will together be promoted to Prescott!"

Nethan responded, "Afterward, I will report everything to Master Song. I won’t steal your credits!"

Elton nodded, took his three brothers with him, and gritted his teeth as they proceeded.

...

Owen Bertram ploughed through howsoever he could, and found another Tire-4 Spirit Bug. But just as he was about to make a move, the surrounding air surged with a large patch of a water-blue array radiance. In mid-air, they gathered to form a radiant array net that enveloped a hundred-yard radius. Just in this net was the Tire-4 Spirit Bug, but it had already been taken by Owen Bertram one step ahead.

Outside of the array light net, a tall figure wearing a veil flew in. She approached with a great momentum, layers of multi-colored mist were formed from Divine Water around her, and beneath her feet was an illusory river that was as if a divine dragon .

Inside the array light net, the impoverished cultivators were shocked: "Fifth Great Realm!" Subconsciously, they moved closer to Owen. Only Glenn Mitchell, his eyes sparkled, full of eagerness to try.

It took Catherine half a day to set up the formation in secret, and she was just one step away from completing it. The Tire-4 Spirit Bug was to be hers. But an outsider had suddenly shown up and snatched the creature from her grasp.

A surge of heat rushed to Catherine’s head, and she charged out wanting to argue with the intruder. However, she stopped upon seeing Owen Bertram and stomped her foot in frustration before spinning around to leave, "I still owe you a favor from the first challenge. This bug, the Saintess has given it to you."

Owen Bertram was somewhat disoriented but then he heard Catherine’s voice echoing from afar, "Why waste your time on this layer, Master Owen? I’ll be waiting for you on the Fourth Layer. The real showdown between Heaven’s Chosen can only take place there!

Do you dare to come?"

Of course, he needed to go there. With so many high-level bugs at the fourth layer, Owen had to capture a few.

But Owen felt a bit puzzled: did he drag a woman out of the Short-lived Valley?

Master Owen didn’t mind it; he simply shook his head to dismiss the thought. He waved back at his team, "Hurry up, let’s catch all the high-level spirit bugs on this layer as soon as possible. I need to go to the next layer to assess the mettle of those so-called Heaven’s Chosen."

Bart followed up and told Owen, "Sir, the Fourth Layer is extremely dangerous. It’s said to be teeming with Tire-5 Spirit Insects. Only the largest passageway from this layer is relatively safer. Please do not stray far..."

This was the experience gathered by the Insect Hunters. The largest passage from the third layer to the Fourth Layer was quite wide and was known as the "Resurrection Path" among Insect Hunters. Choosing any other passageway was synonymous with meeting one’s end.

Glenn Mitchell was self-proclaimed as being capable and as one of the only two cultivators at the Fifth Great Realm in the team, he naturally gave himself the title of "Vice-Captain", with Owen being the Captain. Not because of his authority but his strength. At least in the Spirit Insect-infested Zombie Cave, Owen was the real captain. In other circumstances, Glenn Mitchell felt it may not be the same case!

Since the previous attack, the vice-captain voluntarily moved to the end of the team. With the captain in front and him at the back, he secured all the team members.

However, what Glenn didn’t expect was that a loose-lipped gossiper among the impoverished cultivators was at the end of the team. On this journey, he kept ceaselessly talking, freely telling the vice-captain all sorts of things.

Glenn Mitchell was a man who didn’t know how to subtly reject others. He was always straightforward, so he simply blurted, "Shut up!"

That fellow indeed closed his mouth, but it lasted less than a quarter of an hour before he started talking again...

Then, the effective time of Glenn Mitchell’s "shut up" became increasingly shorter.

As soon as Catherine left, the fellow began to bombard Glenn Mitchell with chatter again, "Did you hear that? The girl said she will be waiting for our master on the lower level. It sounds like a mutual agreement to me. Maybe things may just progress in this direction, and they might end up getting married.

The girl’s cultivation isn’t a disgrace to our master. But I wonder if the young master is already married, or if his family has engaged him to a child bride or something.

But it’s not a problem, as long as they genuinely like each other, she could always become a concubine. Let me tell you, I am very familiar with the rites of the Wood Dynasty..."

Glenn Mitchell’s expression suddenly changed. He pulled out his chopping axe and swung it at that fellow.

"Ah——" He screamed in fright. He was just having a chat, and it didn’t warrant lethal blows. But his axe struck nothing but air behind the guy with a loud bang that hurt his own ears. A tiny black sword was knocked out and spun into darkness.

He was stunned for a moment before he screamed again: "Someone is trying to kill me——"

Mitchell fled and lunged towards the figure behind him with his axe raised. The crimson light of lightning on the axe blade crackled and popped!

Daniel had never expected that his seemingly surefire attack would be blocked. His "Shadow Sword" skill was a family heirloom. His family had been bound to the Horizon Bureau for generations, mainly as low-rank Military Officers, but over the generations, they had indeed accumulated quite a bit of wealth, and were best at assassination, escape, and self-preservation.

Without these skills, one cannot complete the tasks of the Horizon Bureau, nor can one survive and continue the family.

He feared Owen Bertram, leading the team, so he quietly trailed his team, ready to strike at the tail of the group. But he didn’t expect to face another master at the back of the line.

He turned to run, but without killing anyone, he doubted Owen Bertram would pursue. Biting the bullet, he reached out to his brothers: "I’ll hold him back, you guys kill the others!"

Now, Glenn Mitchell was barreling towards him like a tiger pouncing. His movements and divine skills were all highly practical. There was a type of unstoppable momentum in their simplicity.

With a loud sound, the chopping axe came down, and dark red lightning burst from beneath the axe blade, reaching up to five Zhangs. When Daniel’s Shadow Sword met it, it was clear to anyone that he couldn’t withstand this attack.

But when the Shadow Sword and the chopping axe collided, a burst of light suddenly surged from Daniel’s body to form a protective tortoise shell. It added a boost to the Shadow Sword and was surprisingly able to withstand the force of the chopping axe and the lightning!

Daniel retreated repeatedly while looking at the three brothers hidden in the dark. Each of them had already initiated assassination attacks to his delight. As he was about to use his escaping skills, he saw countless light points rapidly approaching, submerging everything around in an instant!

The assassination magical instruments released by the three brothers collided with these light points halfway through. The light points recklessly proceeded one after another, shattering the three assassination magical instruments. Once again, the points of light surged forward aggressively, one after another they shattered the protective spells on the brothers.

"Run!" Daniel was so frightened that his soul was about to leave his body. He shouted as he turned to run, but after two steps, the Linked Body Protection Spell gave out. Countless light points swept across him and the three brothers fell to the ground. The endless light points continued to sweep over them, reducing them to fragments...

Raising his chopping axe once again, Glenn Mitchell found that he had no opponents left. He grumbled as he returned his axe, thinking: that was very rude.

Owen Bertram twirled his Metal Storm Edition Divine Slayer Breaker on his finger a few times, performing an action he believed to be cool, like a cowboy spinning guns. Unfortunately, the girls in the group, being not so well-acquainted with the manners of high society, failed to recognize his charm, so there was no screaming.

"Let’s go, there’s nothing to see here, we don’t have much time." Owen Bertram signaled to the team. The group continued forward, racing to catch up with the master who had already taken a few steps. Only by staying at his side did they feel safe!

Glenn Mitchell had only taken one step when a person attached himself to him, arms hanging around him, and began rambling on, "Brother North! I was so scared just now. Turns out you really care about me. Here I was thinking you were sick of me, but I was wrong. Boo hoo hoo, I’m so touched..."

Glenn Mitchell couldn’t help but wish he could plug his own ears: "You were not mistaken."
