Manticole and Leviathan didn't encounter any obstacles along the way for several hundred meters. Manticole and Leviathan also rummaged through everything they could see, but didn't find any valuable treasures.
Just like before, when Leviathan discovered that he had no way of knowing the element of that boundary, he immediately instructed, "Anro, go and have a try."
Although Leviathan and Manticole were both lowgods, they could only sense those concealment boundaries of the same element based on the element of lightning and darkness that they cultivated in. If the elemental energy of the boundary was concealed within the boundary, and it wasn't of the element of lightning or darkness, Leviathan and Manticole would have no choice but to adopt the stupidest method – filling it with human lives!
Just because the two of them couldn't sense it didn't mean that Han Shuo couldn't. When Han Shuo saw that the boundary contained the element of wind, and that Anro sent by Leviathan was a water element Demon, Han Shuo couldn't help but crease his brows. He raised his hand to stop Leviathan, "Wait!"
Leviathan stared blankly for a moment before he revealed a hearty smile and said amiably, "Mister Han Shuo, do you have any brilliant ideas?"
Ever since Han Shuo discovered that this person wouldn't even spare his own subordinates, he no longer had a favorable impression of him. However, on the surface, Han Shuo still feigned civility and said with a faint smile, "If you trust me, let that friend of yours give it a try."
Upon finishing those words, Han Shuo pointed at a Demon cultivating in the element of wind on Manticole's side. Han Shuo didn't have much of a compassionate heart. He wasn't too concerned about the lives and deaths of Leviathan and Manticole's Demons. It was just that according to Leviathan and Manticole's methods, the consumption would be too great. Han Shuo was worried that all the Demons would die as cannon fodder before long. When that time came, they wouldn't be able to go any further and would affect themselves. That was why Han Shuo reminded Han Shuo out of goodwill.
The face of that Demon cultivating in the element of wind that Han Shuo pointed at suddenly turned ghastly pale. He glared at Han Shuo hatefully, wondering when exactly did he offend this fella, and why would Han Shuo instruct him to die at such a crucial moment.
On the other hand, Anro was clearly delighted. Although he couldn't refuse Leviathan's orders, he still cherished his life. If the barrier in front of him was made of water elemental energy, he might have rushed in excitedly. But looking at Leviathan's posture, he probably didn't know which type of power the barrier belonged to. If he rashly rushed in, the possibility of death was too great, so he couldn't help but be afraid.
Therefore, this demon named Anro vaguely expressed his gratitude to Han Shuo with his eyes, but in his heart, he did not understand why Han Shuo would help him.
Both Leviathan and Manticole stared blankly for a moment. They looked at Han Shuo in puzzlement. After a short pause, Manticole finally couldn't help but ask, "Why is that?"
"In order to reduce everyone's losses, we will be able to go deeper." Han Shuo smiled mysteriously and said indifferently.
"Alright then." Manticole was rather straightforward. Perhaps he felt that sacrificing one of his Demons wasn't a big deal. He waved his hand at that Demon cultivating in the element of wind, whose face was filled with fear, and ordered, "Yadi, you go!"
Yadi had no choice but to obey his master's orders no matter how afraid or unwilling he was. Before he entered the barrier, he glared at Han Shuo with hatred, as though saying, If I survive this, I will settle the score with you sooner or later!
Han Shuo shrugged his shoulders. He didn't take this person's threat to heart.
Yadi harrumphed coldly in anger. Without wasting any time, he leaped into the barrier that was blocking everyone's path. A sharp whistling sound suddenly rang out from within. The dense wind element formed into sharp, snow-white blades that danced within the barrier with "ding ding dang dang" sounds.
Both Leviathan and Manticole's expressions changed. Their gazes simultaneously turned to Han Shuo, filled with astonishment!
"Mister Han Shuo, how did you know that the barrier was of the element of wind?" Leviathan was extremely astonished.
Han Shuo put on a faint smile and said, "I have long said that the martial arts I specialize in is a little different from what you know. Hehe, therefore, it's only normal that I am a little mysterious! "
The two did not say much to Han Shuo's deliberate mystification. They merely exchanged meaningful glances, their eyes flickering with unknown thoughts.
"Mister Han Shuo is truly a miraculous person! With this, we can reduce our losses by a lot, "one of the Demons exclaimed. The crowd immediately echoed.
When Manticole and Leviathan saw that their subordinates seemed to have a very favorable impression of Han Shuo, the strange gleams in their eyes grew even more intense …
"Ka!" With a crisp sound, the barrier suddenly cracked.
Unlike what the crowd had expected, Yadi did not obtain the elemental energy of wind. This Demon who entered the barrier while harboring a grudge against Han Shuo seemed to have extremely bad luck. His body was revealed to the crowd, riddled with holes. He was no longer breathing.
Although it would be much safer for those of the same element to enter the barrier, it couldn't completely eliminate the danger. This Demon named Yadi obviously had bad luck. Not only did he fail to obtain any energy from the barrier, he even lost his life.
The sharp whistling sound came from the ruptured boundary, as though a bone-scraping cold blade. Manticole and Leviathan, who bore the brunt of the attack, hastily deployed their Domains of Divinity with grave expressions. The elemental energy of lightning and the element of darkness gathered around them. The two exerted all their strength and spent a great deal of effort before they managed to block the fierce wind that burst out from the boundary.
"That was close. It must have been deployed by a midgod of wind. Who knows how many years it has been, and it was triggered and shattered by Yadi. Who would've thought that the residual power would still be so terrifying! " Leviathan had a look of lingering fear on his face, and there were traces of sweat on his forehead. It seemed that the fierce wind that blew out from the broken wind barrier had indeed consumed a lot of his divine power.
"Thank goodness, thank goodness. If the one who entered wasn't Yadi but Anro, I wouldn't have been able to kill him. In that case, the force of the gale we will encounter will definitely be stronger, "Manticole said rejoicing as he looked at Han Shuo.
Han Shuo chuckled dryly and didn't say anything else. These two weren't good people, and Han Shuo was on guard against them at all times. He definitely wouldn't let his guard down just because of the gratitude they'd displayed.
"Eh? Divine crystals of fire!" All of a sudden, Leviathan let out a cry of surprise. His body moved like lightning as he charged straight to the front that had suddenly opened up. He extended his hand and grabbed a fist-sized crystal that was deeply buried in the rock, shining with dazzling flames. He had a look of joy on his face!
That fist-sized crystal contained a fiery and intense liquid. Incomparably scorching and frightening energy was wantonly radiating from it. From a distance, that fist-sized crystal looked like a miniature sun, extremely dazzling!
Divine crystals – rare and precious treasures that could be directly absorbed and converted into divine energy. Who would have thought that they would actually exist in the Void!
"Wonderful!" Manticole was also overjoyed. He appeared beside Leviathan at some point in time, and hastily said, "If the other two discover divine crystals of lightning and darkness, with this piece of divine crystal of fire, we will have the capital to trade with them!"
Leviathan nodded repeatedly and laughed heartily. It seemed that he was extremely excited to obtain this divine crystal.
Although these two were on good terms, they obviously did not take Han Shuo, their comrade who cultivated in the energy of death and destruction, seriously. They were only concerned about their own interests. Watching from a distance, Han Shuo revealed a happy smile for them on his face. However, his heart, on the other hand, was ice-cold. He was even more certain that the two were only trying to make use of him.
Hehe, just as well. Let's see who will reap the most benefits in this Void, Han Shuo thought to himself.
Just as Han Shuo was thinking about this, two energies that had disappeared for a long time suddenly appeared in Han Shuo's consciousness – Cecrops and Golander, cultivators of the elemental energies of fire and water, were rapidly approaching.
"Ka ka!" "Creak!"
Several crisp and clear sounds suddenly sounded from not far away. The tranquility of the surroundings was instantly shattered.
"Cecrops and Golander have sensed the aura of the divine crystal and are on their way here. As the two were in too much of a hurry, several boundaries that existed along the way were forcibly destroyed. The two of you should be preparing to face the enemy now! " Han Shuo described the facts with an incomparably calm and collected face. Soon after, he raised his head to look at the meteor shower that was about to fall from the sky, and said, "Meteor shower, the Spatial Edges will erupt in a wide area. While everyone is on guard against Cecrops and Golander, you must also be careful not to be killed by the explosive energy of those boundaries."
Upon hearing those words, Manticole and Leviathan's faces changed greatly. Leviathan hastily and carefully put away the divine crystal of fire and cursed in a flustered and exasperated manner, "Cecrops and Golander, those two bastards, how dare they barge in here! Have they forgotten our agreement with Bechymos?"
Manticole let out a light groan and said, "At the time of the agreement, they had yet to see a real divine crystal, especially a divine crystal of fire that could allow Cecrops' strength to skyrocket. Before such a temptation, even Cecrops lost his composure!"
"Cut the crap and get ready to face the enemy!" Han Shuo rudely interrupted the two in an unfriendly manner.
Both Manticole and Leviathan showed displeasure on their faces. However, they did not flare up at this moment. They deployed their Domains of Divinity and prepared to face the enemy.
At the moment when a great battle was on the verge of breaking out, Han Shuo retreated with a sneer. He stealthily left the range of the duo's Domains of Divinity and retreated to the place where the damaged lightning magical matrix was erupting. No one knew what he was thinking …
