Chapter 402: Chapter 178: Chained Golden Skull, Cyan Poison Lizard

The Five Tiger Generals now all have over 1000 in their three main stats, and Spiritual Power above 750.

The whole team can move at a speed of over 1000.

The two Eastsea Falcons are still scouting from high above.

The Twelve-winged Tiger Star Beasts aren’t flying; they’re sprinting across the land, which is even faster than flying.

The Four Great Generals of Huaxia—Zijin Ming, the Zijin Guang Brothers, Tai Zhong, and Thunder Yuan—are all riding the Twelve-winged Tiger Star Beasts.

If any danger arises, Yi Tian and his crew will just use the Mist Scroll to teleport away.

The Eastsea Falcons will return to the mist by themselves and will be picked up by Yi Tian using the Mist Scroll later.

The grassland north of the territory is actually a valley—a basin covering about two hundred square kilometers.

A river flows down from the mountains, eventually gathering in a lake; the soil here is fertile, and with the Cloud Snow Forest nearby, there are plenty of small animals roaming the grasslands.

"Daddy! There’s a stone chest in the bushes on the grassland."

As soon as they arrived, a pleasant surprise. With Second Child’s power up, Thousand-Mile Eye quickly spotted a target.

This valley grassland isn’t huge but not small either. By the logic of stone chest placement, having one here is totally normal.

"Let’s go!"

Yi Tian led the main force straight to the stone chest.

Here, Yi Tian really has nothing to fear.

If the Lords of Division 66 detected this massive squad within twenty kilometers, they’d definitely teleport away in a panic.

Apart from the Twelve-winged Tiger Star Beasts and Little White, who’s late-stage B-level, everyone else is A-level strength.

Even Guan Yu advanced to A-level just this morning; the Celestial Dao Stone notified him, awarding 300 Territory Points.

To the Lords of Division 66, this party is a complete nightmare.

"Roar!"

Little White let out a commanding roar on the grassland, sending all the beasts fleeing.

Little White raised his head, feeling extremely proud—at last, he’s showing off his King of a Hundred Beasts aura.

Just as Little White expected to be praised, Fourth Child, sitting on him, pinched his ear, looking upset that he scared off the little critters—she still wanted to roast one!

Yi Tian, meanwhile, ignored Little White completely.

"Everyone back up, this stone chest is hella suspicious!"

After arriving at the stone chest, Yi Tian told everyone to retreat dozens of meters away.

"Open it!"

Yi Tian stood over ten meters away and scanned the stone chest with the Celestial Dao Stone.

The stone chest slowly opened, a brilliant light flashed out.

Diamond Treasure Chest!

Today’s off to a lucky start!

The Celestial Dao Treasure Chest inside the stone chest has two possibilities.

One is absolutely safe, meaning serious good fortune.

The other is, when the Celestial Dao Treasure Chest appears, some bizarre monsters or beasts crawl out with it.

Sure enough!

Dozens of golden skeletons, each holding a golden chain, leapt out of the chest.

One, two, ten, twenty, thirty.

They’re about two meters tall—apart from being all gold, their bones are shaped just like other Dao Bodies.

In their eye sockets, golden flames flicker—this is the source of their "life."

Only by smashing their skulls will they stop attacking.

"Chained Golden Skulls: Strength 2400, Constitution 2400, Agility 2000. Attack Power increases by 20% when wielding their chains."

All thirty Golden Skulls have exactly the same strength—they’re obviously set to match the strongest member of Yi Tian’s crew.

But these Chained Golden Skulls aren’t nearly enough to threaten Yi Tian.

"No one use any special abilities! Attack!"

Once Yi Tian gave the order, the territory members went straight for the first strike.

Yue Fei took out his A-level Treasure Bow and shot at one of the A-level skeletons.

"Swish!"

"Bang!"

The Enchanted A-level Treasure Bow, with 1800 Attack Power, combined with Yue Fei’s Archery Mastery, instantly blew up a Golden Skull’s head.

This A-level Treasure Bow was the loot from Meng Menglong in the last battle.

Yue Fei had already upgraded to Archery Mastery LV.8 the day before yesterday, becoming the territory’s first Level 8 Archer, one level higher than Yi Tian himself.

Yi Tian handed Yue Fei the only A-level Treasure Bow he had.

Over 3200 Attack Power and 30% Armor-Piercing.

The Chained Golden Skulls didn’t stand a chance.

Thunder Yuan’s Sharp Gold Fist!

Boom! Boom!

Two Fist Shadows instantly shattered two Golden Skull heads.

Zijin Ming and Zijin Guang charged in with their weapons, ready to take on the Chained Golden Skulls in melee combat.

The Chained Golden Skulls immediately counterattacked, lashing out with their chains.

The chains tore through the air with serious menace.

Few on Yi Tian’s side could take such a blow head-on.

Zijin Ming and the Zijin Guang Brothers were at the forefront, taking the brunt of the attack.

"Clang!"

"Bing!"

The brothers coordinated perfectly, one wielding a hammer and the other a sword.

More than a dozen chains were blocked by the brothers alone.

"Celestial Ice Palm!" 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"Celestial Flame Palm!"

Palm strikes flew out in succession, batting away all the incoming chains.

"Vajra Shield!"

Thunder Yuan formed a wide shield wall, blocking all the chains targeting the beasts and Little Kiddo.

Thunder Yuan’s Golden Bell Shield has reached Great Success, able to form a seamless shield—suit, shield, or shield wall. His defense is the strongest among all territory members!

When their initial strike failed, the Chained Golden Skulls quickly retracted their chains, preparing for another attack.

But Yi Tian’s group would not give them another chance.

Celestial Ice Palm!

Celestial Flame Palm!

Palm shadows emerged in quick succession.

With Yi Tian’s Attack Power, smashing these skulls is easy work.

Yue Fei uses his Treasure Bow, Thunder Yuan uses Martial Skill techniques.

Zijin Ming and the Zijin Guang Brothers have already charged into the enemy formation.

Their Weapon Mastery and telepathic battle coordination let them easily take down these Chained Golden Skulls.

Even without using any special abilities, Yi Tian’s team totally dominates overall.

At the same time, Yi Tian realizes that, without any special abilities, only Thunder Yuan can go toe-to-toe with late-stage A-level opponents.
