Howl ~ Howl ~ Howl ~
Wolf howls echoed, mixed with the screams and curses of the Sky Demon Cultists.
Atop the mountain.
In the instant he threw the pea, Jiang He dropped to the ground, clutching his head …
And just as he had expected.
The System's Note was both useful and unreasonable.
Even the mountain was shaking from the violent explosion. The violent shockwave and shockwave kicked up substantial dust, but Jiang He did not feel it at all even as he lay prone on the ground.
After the shockwave passed, Jiang He stood up.
He took out a pea and studied it closely.
[Pea]
[Inedible. Extremely destructive.]
[Usage: Throw from a distance.]
[Gentle reminder: Host is advised to hold his head and lie on the ground after throwing to be immune to damage.]
"Immune, that's right … immune to damage!"
Only then did Jiang He notice that detail!
Immune to damage meant that even if the pea exploded in his pants, he would have absolute defense as long as he was quick enough to hold his head and lie on the ground. Not even a hair would be blown off. Still, he unzipped his pants by reflex to experiment, but eventually …
He held back!
"I could just throw it under my feet even if I want to experiment. Wouldn't I be in trouble if I blow up my bird?"
That was when the wolf howls below the mountain subsided. Many gigantic Feral Wolves were pouncing up the mountain, spreading out once they reached the peak and surrounding Jiang He, all of them baring their fangs and growling fiercely.
Meanwhile, the Sky Demon Cultists were following behind the wolves.
Still, there were only four of them left.
Aside from Old Liu, there was another rank-five pinnacle martial artist and an earth-type superhuman.
As for Tong Nan, the shadow-type superhuman, he did not show himself, instead hiding in the darkness.
Jiang He turned and exclaimed in surprise, "So many of them are still alive … this is a little unexpected."
Still, Jiang He felt relieved after some thought.
The power of the pea bomb was limited. Moreover, Ferals were extremely sensitive to danger in the first place, and some of the Feral Wolves had already dodged when he threw the pea bomb. Most importantly, the Feral Wolves were not weak, and there were around sixty of them before him now, with the weakest being rank-four.
Ferals of that level would not be too weak in defense, and would be hard to kill as long as they were not at the center of the explosion.
As for Rank-3 and Rank-2 …
The previous wave of explosions was almost over.
After all, he was only throwing ordinary peas. He couldn't bear to throw the enhanced ones …
At the side, Old Man Liu and the others were a little crazy.
They …
They were ambushed!
The mission had been disrupted!
Once the Holy Church blames them, no one will be able to escape the torture of the Three Knives and Six Holes.
"Who are you?"
Old Man Liu took a step forward, and his stooped figure suddenly straightened. His skinny figure seemed to have swelled up in an instant, becoming extremely muscular. Even his height had increased by a few inches.
He was a B-class Superhuman Awakened. His Vitality was not inferior to a Late-stage Rank-6 martial artist!
His voice was hoarse and his eyes were bloodshot. Glaring at Jiang He with a ferocious expression, he seethed through clenched teeth, "The Tranquil Heavenly General had prepared everything for tonight's plan. Who are you, and how did you know about our plan?"
"…"
Jiang He appeared bewildered and taken aback. "I don't know what you're talking about. What plan?"
I'm just going into the mountains to hunt for some rank-seven or rank-six Feral meat and blood to irrigate my little plot of land. How would I know about your plan?
The other two Sky Demon Cultists all stepped forward as well.
One of them was a Peak Rank-5 martial artist. His True Qi erupted and his aura rose. He had a three-sectioned stick on his waist. At this time, he took off the three-sectioned stick and twisted it together to form a silver-white alloy metal stick.
The earth-type superhuman's body flickered in obscure earthen-yellow luster, and he was just waiting for Old Man Liu's command before he would activate his power and ambush Jiang He.
In the darkness behind Jiang He, the shadow-type superhuman Tong Nan's voice was silent, appearing and disappearing as he slowly approached Jiang He.
He was holding a dagger in his hand.
The dagger glinted in faint blue light, and was clearly dipped in poison.
Even as Old Man Liu stared at Jiang He, he glanced at Tong Nan with the corner of his eye and said sinisterly, "Brat, I don't care who you are. Only death awaits you if you dare to disrupt our plans!"
"But that's fine."
"We'll attack Lingzhou City after we kill you, and we won't delay the Tranquil Heavenly General's mission."
Suddenly, Old Man Liu's voice rose by dozens of decibels as he barked, "Attack!"
Whoosh!
Almost at the same time Old Man Liu barked, an air-piercing sound echoed behind Jiang He.
Ding!
The sound of metal clashing could be heard.
All Jiang He felt was a cold pain on his neck … as if he had been bitten by a mosquito.
He promptly turned, but there was nothing behind him.
？？？
Touching his neck, Jiang He barked, "What is that? Could it be a mutated mosquito? "
"…"
Tong Nan, the shadow-type superhuman who had fused with the night was left dumbstruck at the half-broken dagger in his hand.
What the hell.
What was going on?
His C-grade alloy dagger … was broken?
Although he was a Transcendent Awakened, his physique was not bad. In fact, he was not weaker than rank-2 or rank-3 martial artists. With a C-grade alloy dagger in hand, he could cut through steel plates and split stone tablets with a single strike.
Even so …
Why was the dagger broken?
He was not wearing any combat armor!
Nonetheless, Tong Nan was being cautious. Having missed his attack, he promptly retreated and fled into the night once more.
"My strike only broke his skin, but that's enough … the poison on the dagger was refined from a mutated spider by a poisoner of the Holy Faith, and a single drop could kill an elephant!"
"Even if a powerful martial artist's physique is stronger than an elephant, the poison would take effect in half a minute at most, and their stamina would slowly drain away, their body becoming numb and stiff …"
Over there.
Old Man Liu was already lunging towards him.
The short smoking pipe in his hand was actually several hundred catties, and as he swung it down viciously, the air rumbled as it was smashed.
The earth-type Awakened pointed a finger, and the dust beneath Jiang He's feet churned, spreading towards his legs as if it was alive. At the same time, the rank-five martial artist wielding the long metal staff bellowed and lunged towards Jiang He as well.
"For the Holy Faith …"
What the hell …
Damn it!
Jiang He's expression turned ugly.
Fight if you want to, why shout slogans?
He unleashed Mighty Dragon Shows Remorse from the distance, and a deafening draconic roar tore through the night as the silhouette of a golden dragon flew out, crashing towards Old Man Liu.
Pow!
Old Man Liu was just two meters away from Jiang He, and he only needed to reach out and smash his smoking pipe down on Jiang He's head. Even so, he was sent flying before he could reach out.
Charging his Strengthened Nine Yang Technique, Jiang He's True Qi stirring, and the dust around his feet directly burst apart.
He unleashed Dragon Soars in the Sky again, and the rank-five martial artist was sent flying once more. Since Jiang He felt uncomfortable shouting slogans at the rank-five pinnacle martial artist, he followed up with Mighty Dragon Shows Remorse, and the rank-five pinnacle martial artist was no longer breathing even before he hit the ground.
That was when Jiang He's figure flashed.
He felt a sharp pain from his neck where the 'mosquito' had bitten him, and his body soon became numb.
"Oh no!"
"I'm poisoned!"
