Chapter 2174: Help!
The Black Python glanced at Zhou Yu with a faint smile, then immediately approached Mrs. Mu.
"Madam."
Mrs. Mu smiled slightly.
"Black Python, well done."
The Black Python quickly said:
"Thanks to the treasures bestowed by Madam."
"Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to leave the Illusionary Void Array safely."
Saying this, the Black Python suddenly looked at Zhou Yu.
"But Brother Zhou, relying on his abilities, actually broke out of the Illusionary Void Array."
"Truly impressive."
Zhou Yu immediately smiled bitterly and said:
"Just got lucky."
"Almost died in there."
"By the way, what was that terrifying radiant heat just now?"
Zhou Yu changed the subject, asking.
Hearing Zhou Yu’s inquiry, Mrs. Mu’s eyes narrowed.
"This thing, Six Wings should know it best."
Saying this, Mrs. Mu looked at Six Wings.
At the same time, Shiva and Ghost Master also looked at Six Wings.
Seeing this, Six Wings shrugged and said:
"I do know a bit."
"This thing is called Death Fire."
"In fact, this Death Fire can only be born in places where Yin Sha Qi is most concentrated."
"But, mere concentration of Evil Qi isn’t enough."
"It still requires someone with immense Divine Skills to refine this Yin Sha Qi."
Hearing these words, everyone was shocked.
Just now, that radiant heat only erupted slightly and already caused such a terrifying power.
That kind of scene, let alone them four.
Even if there were hundreds or thousands of Integration Realm experts, they would surely die if hit.
What kind of existence could refine such terrifying Evil Qi and cultivate Death Fire?
Facing everyone’s confusion, Six Wings sighed and said:
"Only one clan could pull off such a feat."
Mrs. Mu’s pupils contracted.
"The Ant Clan?"
Six Wings nodded.
"Although I don’t want to admit it, only within the Ant Clan are there experts close to the Divine Beast Level."
"Moreover, we happened to meet the Ant Clan experts here this time."
"This indicates that the Ant Clan also has their eyes on this place."
"However, we have already exterminated most of the Ant Clan members just now."
"The one who escaped was also seriously injured."
"In the short term, he shouldn’t return, which gives us some time."
"We must obtain the Nether Spring Essence as soon as possible and leave here immediately."
Upon hearing these words, the expressions of Mrs. Mu, Shiva, and Ghost Master all became uncertain.
It seemed they were weighing something.
Only Zhou Yu’s heart was stirred.
Nether Spring Essence?
What is that?
All along, Zhou Yu didn’t know what these four had been meticulously planning for so long.
Could it be, all this scheming and fanfare was just for this thing?
If that’s really the case, then this Nether Spring Essence must be something extraordinary.
Just when Zhou Yu was secretly speculating, Ghost Master spoke.
"Originally, according to the plan, we wouldn’t encounter the Ant Clan experts."
"But something unexpected happened, and my Ghost Mastiffs were almost entirely wiped out."
"Your three subordinates also almost completely perished."
"In such a situation, it would be difficult to obtain the Nether Spring Essence smoothly."
Hearing Ghost Master’s words, Mrs. Mu narrowed her eyes.
"Brother Ghost, after planning for a thousand years, we have reached this point; you wouldn’t want to give up, would you?"
"As far as I know you, you always keep some cards up your sleeve."
"I believe you must have some backup Ghost Mastiffs."
"Plus, the massive Ghost Mastiff you just controlled should be enough to handle the dangers ahead."
After Mrs. Mu said this, Shiva and Six Wings also looked at Ghost Master.
Ghost Master’s face twitched slightly, then he said coldly:
"The giant Ghost Mastiff is refined with my Primordial Spirit Clone. Once damaged, my Divine Soul will also be destroyed."
"Do you think I would risk my life for the Nether Spring Essence?"
Mrs. Mu calmly said:
"Brother Ghost, we originally agreed to split the Nether Spring Essence equally."
"Now that more is required from you, naturally, you should get an extra share."
"I suggest dividing it into five parts, with Brother Ghost receiving two parts."
"Shiva, Six Wings, what do you two think?"
Upon hearing this, Shiva and Six Wings were obviously displeased.
However, they both knew that without Ghost Master’s contribution, it would be challenging to successfully obtain the Nether Spring Essence.
So, after some struggle, both of them gritted their teeth and nodded in agreement.
Upon hearing the result, Ghost Master immediately smiled.
"Then there’s no problem."
Seeing Ghost Master’s reaction, Mrs. Mu, Six Wings, and Shiva all cursed silently in their hearts.
This old fox is clearly taking advantage to grab more for himself.
But they had no choice but to let him succeed.
"Since there are no issues, let’s move out!"
Mrs. Mu said sternly.
Subsequently, everyone immediately leaped into the air, heading off into the distance.
The Black Python came to Zhou Yu’s side, saying with a fake smile:
"Brother Zhou, shall we go too?"
Zhou Yu nodded.
Then, the two also followed quickly.
...
At this moment, in another mysterious part of this space.
A wounded man arrived there.
He knelt in front of a dilapidated cave entrance, his head touching the ground, and said:
"Please, Senior, lend your assistance. The Ant Clan will be forever grateful, and I will do my best to fulfill any of your requests."
This wounded man was precisely the Ant Clan expert who was ambushed by Ghost Master earlier and escaped seriously injured.
Just as his words fell, a moment later, an aged voice responded.
"Your Ant Clan, being a top-tier existence in the entire Heavenly Origin World."
"Yet you come seeking help from an old, useless person like me."
"It’s really as if the sun has risen in the west."
The Ant Clan expert’s eyes flickered with fury, and he said:
"Senior, it is an act of desperation."
"These intruders in our Ant Clan’s secret land came once a thousand years ago, and we killed one of them."
"We thought they wouldn’t dare return."
"Who would’ve thought they came more prepared this time, catching us off guard and suffering a major loss."
"Currently, the secret land remains sealed, and to convey a message, we’d have to wait ten years for the land to open."
"But in ten years, they will surely have escaped."
"Senior, you are the sacrificial official we invited, and we ask you to fulfill your duty."
Just as the Ant Clan expert finished speaking.
A cold snort echoed.
Bang!
The Ant Clan expert spat blood and flew backward, heavily injured.
But he couldn’t afford to feel the pain, quickly crawling back to kneel.
"Senior, apologies, I misspoke."
The ancient voice from the cave sounded again.
"Hmph, sacrificial official my foot, when did I ever agree?"
"When I borrowed your Ant Clan’s secret land, I already did some things for your clan; we’re long settled."
"If you continue using such words to threaten me, then the next time, it will be your death!"
