Chapter 160: Hunting the Crystal Beast

  A crystal clear medium-grade elemental crystal lies quietly amidst the golden yellow surroundings, looking somewhat out of place, dazzling and isolated.

  For three whole hours, except for some sand being blown up and falling around this elemental crystal, everything was as silent as death.

  Silent and soundless, all sides quiet.

  A single color, scorching heat, makes this world seem dull and lacking in vitality.

  After three hours of endless waiting, hundreds of meters away from the elemental crystal, a pale red mouse-like crystal beast suddenly poked its head out, looked around in all directions, and after not finding anything unusual, quickly rushed towards that piece of elemental crystal.

  As swift as the wind, and as rapid as lightning.

  The mouse-shaped red crystal beast moved quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the elemental crystal was snatched into its mouth. Without slowing down, the mouse-shaped crystal beast escaped at an even faster speed.

  Just as the mouse-shaped crystal beast was leaving, there was a loud "bang".

  A flash of yellow light, and the mouse-shaped crystal beast was violently knocked flying, rolling miserably on the sandy ground.

  The elemental crystal in the mouse-like crystal beast's mouth fell not far from the mouse-like crystal beast.

  A yellow leopard-type crystal beast. Completely ignoring the mouse-type crystal beast. Slowly walking towards the elemental crystal.

  The mouse-like crystal beast scrambled up in terror. It retreated a few steps unwillingly, watching with wide eyes as the elemental crystal was taken into the mouth of the leopard-like crystal beast and swallowed down.

  Squeak

  Suddenly four yellow crystal beasts appeared around. Surrounding the leopard-shaped crystal beast without warning. Blocking the leopard-shaped crystal beast's retreat route. At the same time, they let out a strong dissatisfied sound.

  As for the crystal beast beside him, the four yellow crystal beasts didn't even give it a glance.

  The mouse-shaped crystal beast glanced at several leopard-shaped crystal beasts that were staring at each other, then turned its head and left resolutely.

  If you don't leave now, these yellow crystal beasts will tear you apart.

  Although the Crystal Beast's intelligence is low, some of its instincts still remain.

  Cough

  The rodent-like crystal beast zoomed away, only to suddenly flip back again. This time, however, its body had been cleaved in two by a sword's blade.

  Five yellow crystal beasts that were confronting each other suddenly became alert and dispersed, paying attention to the surrounding movements, ready to leave at any time.

  "Get moving." Glass whispered.

  It was Grass who just struck and killed the mouse-like crystal beast.

  As soon as Gracias' words fell, a white magical shield suddenly appeared, covering the area where Gracias was located.

  This area is not very large, about one kilometer in circumference, but all five yellow crystal beasts are within this range.

  After the shield appeared, Glass quickly killed one of the yellow crystal beasts.

  The four upper-ranking sub-gods who had been lying in ambush for a long time respectively killed their way towards the remaining four yellow crystal beasts.

  "Kill." Grasse growled.

  Glacies' long sword in her hand released a few meters of sword energy that slashed towards Jing Beast.

  Every time Glace's sword struck Crystal Beast, a cracking sound could be heard from the crystal.

  The upper demon killed the yellow crystal beast, no suspense at all, in less than a minute, all five yellow crystal beasts were killed.

  The yellow crystal beast under Gras was solved with just a few swords.

  Glace's swordsmanship was quite good, and the longsword in her hand was also a seventh-grade weapon, so it took the shortest time to kill the fifth-grade crystal beast.

  After all, a seventh-grade weapon has great lethality against a fifth-grade crystal beast.

  The other four quasi-gods' weapons were slightly inferior and took a bit longer to land.

  The suddenly rising white magic shield has the effect of isolating the breath, which can ensure that the battle within the magic shield will not attract the attention of the crystal beasts outside. Of course, the fluctuations in the battle within the shield area cannot be too large. If the fluctuations exceed the tolerance of the magic shield, the magic shield will fail.

  This time's magic shield was set up by a senior demigod from the hunting squad with nine intermediate demigods.

  Ten movable magic circle stones are used to set up the magic shield. The magic circle stones are not large, one-foot black circular discs.

  Ten sub-gods, each holding one, standing in a certain position, and simultaneously inputting elemental forces can quickly activate the magic shield.

  This magic circle requires at least three sub-gods to activate, but the range of the generated magic shield will be greatly reduced. The stronger the sub-god who sets up the magic circle, the larger the coverage area of the magic shield and the better the effect.

  For the first time seeing a mobile magic circle, Tian Xin's surprise was not small.

  It turns out that the magic arrays in this world are not as fragile as imagined, Tian Xin's secret passage.

  Looking at these magic formation stones, Tian Xin was very envious.

  I will definitely borrow it for research if I have the chance.

  The magic circle stone was taken out by Grass when arranging the hunting plan. For the first time, he let the ten demigods arrange the magic circle, mainly to practice their hands.

  Laitingz, who didn't have a mobile phone, brought the remaining Zhongyashen and Tianxin to take charge of the guard work around. Because the magic shield only had the effect of isolating aura, it did not have defensive or offensive capabilities.

  Maintaining a magical barrier requires other demigods to be present on the side, helping to defend against crystal beasts that may appear outside the barrier.

  The entire hunting process was perfectly planned and executed, without a single flaw.

  It's clear that Gras is a hunter with an unparalleled wealth of experience.

  After the battle was over, the magic shield was lifted, and Gras put all six crystal beasts' crystals and crystal hearts into the space ring.

  They were lucky and hunted down five yellow crystal beasts on their first try in the peripheral area of the desert.

  ”

  "Alright, let's get out of here and find a place to rest for a bit. Then we'll start our next hunt. While our luck is still good, let's make the most of it." Glaus said with a smile.

  "Follow me."

  Having said that, Grass led his team to move quickly to the next place.

  "This wine tastes pretty good, although there's no magical element in it, but it seems quite special. Is this something you brought out from the Dragon God Continent?"

  During his rest, Laiting drank the wine taken out by Tianxin and said.

  "Yes."

  "Haha, I didn't expect you to be a connoisseur of good wine." Laiting said with a smile.

  "It's nothing." Tian Xin smiled and said.

  "Are those array stones used for setting up magic arrays common in the cultivation world?" Tianxin asked Lantis.

  "This is a treasure, rarely seen in the cultivation world. When Glass obtained these ten magic array stones, he paid a considerable price."

  "Do you know the alchemist?" Rettig asked.

  "I know." Tianxin nodded in response.

  He was still wearing the skin of an alchemist, Tian Xin thought to himself.

  "Alchemists are a general term, and if divided, there are pharmacists, puppeteers, magic array masters, etc. These special professionals are relatively rare in the cultivation world. The ten pieces of magical array stones were exchanged from a magic array master's hands, at the cost of a favor and a large pile of precious alchemy materials. Later, many people wanted to buy them from Gracias' hands, but he never sold them, hiding them like treasures. Only when hunting crystal beasts would they be taken out for use."

  "It's indeed good stuff." Tian Xin nodded and said.

  "Is there still wine? If so, let's have another bottle."

  "Give."

  Tianxin took out two bottles of wine from the space ring and threw them at Leiting.

  There is still a lot of wine in the space ring. When I first traveled around the Dragon God Continent, I collected some wine that I haven't finished drinking yet.

  Drinking wine, but Tian Xin's mind is elsewhere.

  Not long after leaving the city, Tian Xin unexpectedly discovered another stalker.

  This mysterious pursuer is very powerful and is a strong one among the top quasi-gods, no weaker than that top quasi-god among Hed's group.

  This stalker, Tian Xin had never seen before, but his aura, Tian Xin had sensed it in Lie Yan City.

  His target was not the hunting party, but rather Hurd and his group. Hurd's group didn't move, neither did he.

  He seemed to have some reservations that the top-tier demigod among Hed's group would notice, and their distance from them was a bit far.

  Why are people from the City Lord's Manor of Lieyan following Hed and his group?

  Things seem to have gotten complicated, Tianxin thought to herself.

  "Lord Hurd, Little Three and his group have started moving again." Klayse said from behind Lord Hurd.

  Kreis and Xiao San have been in contact all along, as soon as there is any news about the hunting squad or Tian Xin, he can know it at the first time.

  "We can just follow from afar." Hede nodded and said.

  After leaving the city with the hunting team, Hed and his party kept a distance of one hundred kilometers from the hunting team, closely following behind.

  This distance, the spiritual power of a higher demon cannot be detected, let alone in the Flame Desert, even a higher demon would not casually use spiritual power to detect.

  "How was their first hunt?" Hurd asked curiously.

  "It was perfect, no casualties, and we took down a total of five yellow crystal beasts and one red crystal beast." Klaus said.

  "That Glass is formidable, with rich experience in hunting Crystal Beasts, a rare talent indeed."

  "This I also know. Among our group, except for Elder Chel, no one is a match for Gras, including me." Hert said calmly.

  "Our strength is considerable, but if we want to take down this hunting squad, it will still come at a significant cost."

  "Why don't we force Glass to hand over that thing? With our strength, even if Glass is unwilling, he will have to agree to our request." Klay asked with some puzzlement.

  "Ge La Si might hand over Xiang Tian, but he will also let the people of Lie Yan Cheng know about our arrival."

  "We'll quietly take down this hunting party." Hurd said with a smile, his eyes gleaming with a hint of cold light.

  "It's no problem for us to wipe out this hunting party with our strength, but it's hard to do it quietly." Klay said bluntly.

  "So for now we still can't make a move, once we make a move we must ensure that not even a bit of information gets sent back to Flame City."

  "Since we have the crystal beasts of the Blazing Desert as our vanguard, we can temporarily follow behind them. Tell Little Three not to let that Qīng Tiān be killed by the crystal beasts, I want him alive," said He Dé.

  "Yes, Lord Hurd."

  Taking advantage of their hunt for the Crystal Beast to make a profit on the side wouldn't be bad either, and if they could subdue Glaucus, that would be even better - such talent is hard to come by, Hert thought to himself.
