Chapter 1553: Chapter 1394: Achieving Merit through a Surprise Attack (Two-in-One)
"Boom!"
Another explosion resounded, and even from this distance, Su Ran could feel the shockwaves. It thrilled and tensed him simultaneously, making him eager to reach the scene and not miss out on these exciting moments.
"Haha, it seems that Fire God and Black Tiger of Extinction have started fighting. It’s hard to say who’s stronger, but judging by the sound of the explosion, they’re both seriously powerful!"
While analyzing the situation, Su Ran walked on air, wishing he could penetrate the spatial barriers and witness this rare battle.
Unfortunately, fate had other plans.
When Su Ran arrived at the area of the explosion, all that was left was destruction, and neither Fire God nor Black Tiger of Extinction were to be found—not even their corpses. In other words, he had arrived too late again.
Dammit!
I’ve run my legs off just to see this?
Having circled around the area, Su Ran confirmed that he was indeed too late.
"Sigh, such is the life of toil. No choice but to keep looking!"
He sighed, dispatched the Dark Bone Eagle to scout the distance, and himself headed southwest. Intuition told him that there might be discoveries to be made in that direction.
However.
Shortly after Su Ran left, a ripple in space occurred above the devastated land, and a figure shrouded in flames materialized. His flames flickered unsteadily, and his breathing was erratic, indicating the recent explosion had significantly impacted him.
"Damn it, how could the Six Harmonies Magnetic Heart Formation break? How did the Black Tiger of Extinction recover so quickly!"
"Could it be... the Bloodline Azure Fruit nourished by the sacrifice of the Black Tiger tribe matured half a month early?"
"That black-robed human just now, seems to be the chosen one. With such an unpredicted factor, it’s a curse rather than a blessing, he must not be allowed to live!"
The figure’s intent to kill was evident, and the flames wrapping around his body burst forth once more, raising the temperature dramatically. Moments later, he transformed into a streak of light, pursuing the direction Su Ran had departed. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
...
"Strange, where could they have gone?"
Su Ran perused the surrounding area cursorily. To him, it seemed implausible that the huge city of Fire God and hundreds of Black Tigers could simply vanish without a trace...
But then again, considering the earth-shattering explosion had just ceased not long ago, those Black Tigers wouldn’t have gone far. Yet, oddly enough, he couldn’t find a single clue, which was quite eerie!
Unaware, Su Ran found himself near a stone forest. Heaps of massive rocks stood tall like towering trees, a truly peculiar sight.
Despite the appealing scenery of the stone forest, Su Ran had no interest in admiring it. With no branches or leaves to obstruct his view, he could see to the end, and there was no sign of the Black Tiger tribe. Losing interest in further exploration, Su Ran decided to bypass the stone forest and continue on his journey, determined not to give up until his goal was achieved!
"Bang, bang, bang!"
Just as Su Ran was about to leave, three stone pillars in the center of the stone forest suddenly burst open, revealing hidden treasures—a gold treasure chest and two silver ones.
"Are you kidding me, is it time to hand out freebies?"
The three treasure chests instantly captured Su Ran’s gaze, halting his intention to leave. If not for his fear of a trick, he would have rushed over already.
Su Ran’s suspicion wasn’t unfounded; first, the system wouldn’t kindly give away these chests for free, and second, he understood the saying "Don’t enter the forest," which applies to stone forests as well. It was most likely that these three chests were meant as bait to lure him into the stone forest for a disastrous attack.
As much as Su Ran understood this, he couldn’t help himself—the value of these chests was too high, worth the risk for him.
In other words, he was enticed by the treasure chests. After all, treasures have always been alluring—for his behavior, he could hardly be blamed.
"Swish!"
Su Ran wouldn’t recklessly adventure without caution; first, he summoned Wang Cai.
With Wang Cai by his side, Su Ran was confident that even if danger arose, he could escape. The stone forest was fraught with peril, so after contemplating, Su Ran decided to recall the Wrapping Bone Eagle back.
Having it take the lead was the most prudent choice to scout for traps. If it perished, it was no big loss; he could simply summon it again—no big deal!
At Su Ran’s command, the Dark Bone Eagle appeared above the stone forest and fearlessly swooped toward the three chests. Whether danger was imminent, he firmly believed the next moment would reveal the answer.
As expected.
The system, that sly dog, had already prepared a trap, just waiting for him to fall for it.
The Dark Bone Eagle, just a meter away from the chests, suddenly encountered an anomaly. An energy net materialized, entangling and forcing the eagle to the ground.
No matter how the Bone Eagle struggled, it couldn’t escape the constriction of the net, which entirely restricted its mobility and even rendered it unable to use its abilities.
That was not the end. The rock pillars around the chests also began to transform. With the reconfiguration of the rocks, multiple stone figures appeared within the stone forest.
"Great, the guardians of the chests have appeared too; the system has really played a tough hand!"
Su Ran, watching intently from a distance, was scared into a cold sweat, grateful he hadn’t foolishly gone for the chests. Otherwise, the fate of the Dark Bone Eagle would have been his own!
But, this was the perfect opportunity. With the five stone figures focused on the Dark Bone Eagle, the chests were left unguarded. It was an ideal moment to make a move!
