Chapter 1820 Good lad, you're got guts!
boom--! ! !
The Nine Dragons Sword carries the bone-corroding ice flames and the purple phantom flames. What it unleashes is not a blazing wave of fire, but a destructive torrent of energy that is two completely opposite yet strangely perfectly fused together!
On the left, where the bone-corroding ice flames passed, the air condensed into strange ice crystals and snowflakes. The monsters that were touched, whether they had hard scales or strong muscles, were instantly covered with a layer of grayish-white frost, and their movements became slow and stiff at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Even more terrifying is that this icy chill does not affect the surface of the body, but directly erodes the soul!
In the beast's crimson eyes, madness was replaced by extreme cold and numbness, as if even the emotion of madness had been frozen!
On the right, the purple phantom flames presented a different, eerie scene.
It burns silently, without high temperature, yet it plunges any monsters that touch it into a frenzied hallucination!
Instead of attacking Mingchuan and the others, they roared, pounced on each other, trampled each other, or frantically attacked the empty sand, as if they had seen their most fearsome natural enemy!
Chaos spread like a plague amidst the beast tide!
The two completely opposite fire powers, under the control of the Nine Dragon Sword, did not cancel each other out, but instead formed a strange death domain of ice and fire!
In the vast area directly in front, shrouded by the sword's aura, hordes of demonic beasts fell, some turning into ice sculptures, others descending into a frenzy of mutual slaughter!
The seemingly endless onslaught of the beast tide was forcibly torn open, creating a huge gap that would be difficult to close in a short time!
"Good lad! That's impressive!" Crimson Fox's eyes lit up. As a master of fire, he immediately recognized the extraordinary skill Mingchuan had displayed.
This is not just a simple superposition of forces, but also contains a profound understanding and ingenious application of the laws of fire and even the essence of energy!
"Now!"
Master Lingxu reacted extremely quickly. The moment the gap appeared, the protective light barrier suddenly contracted, transforming into a condensed shuttle shape that enveloped the five people. Like an arrow released from a bow, it shot swiftly along the gap towards the sand dune in the southeast!
The speed is several times faster than before!
The node controlling the beast tide seemed to have not anticipated Mingchuan's bizarre and domineering way of breaking the deadlock, and reacted a beat too late.
By the time it tried to mobilize monsters further away to fill the gap or change its commands, the five of them had already traversed most of the distance like lightning and approached the sand dune!
"That's it!" Mingchuan locked onto the faint soul fluctuation once more, pointing his sword at it!
The Nine Dragons Sword flew out of his hand, transforming into a stunning streak of gold, silver, and purple, moving at extreme speed. It ignored the scattered monsters that pounced on him along the way and pierced straight into a certain spot on the sand dune!
"puff!"
A soft sound, like the puncture of an airbag.
The dune suddenly trembled, and the yellow sand on its surface slid off in a flurry, revealing something buried beneath.
It was a metal array plate about the size of a washbasin, dark red in color, and covered with strange and twisted runes!
At the center of the array plate was a fist-sized, constantly pulsating dark purple crystal, emitting a chaotic and evil aura that was of the same origin as the previous divine thought clone, but dozens of times stronger!
At this moment, the Nine Dragons Sword was nailed to the edge of the array plate. The power of the bone-corroding ice flame and the purple illusion flame on the sword was surging into the array plate, fiercely fighting against the power of the dark purple crystal, emitting a "hissing" sound of burning and freezing!
The array plate trembled violently, and the runes on its surface flickered. The commands to control the beast tide became chaotic and intermittent!
The surrounding monsters, which had been frantically attacking, suddenly stopped moving. The crimson light in their eyes flickered uncertainly, and they showed obvious confusion and struggle, greatly reducing their offensive power!
"As expected, it was this thing that was causing trouble!" Ye Yan snorted coldly, and in a flash, he appeared next to the array plate. His large hand was covered with thick earth-yellow spiritual power, and he grabbed hard at the dark purple crystal!
He wanted to destroy this evil thing directly!
However, just as his palm was about to touch the crystal—
Mutations reborn!
The dark purple crystal suddenly burst forth with a blinding blood-red light!
A sharp, venomous, and seemingly tangible attack of the soul, as if it were a collection of the dying cries of countless beings, pierced Ye Yan's sea of consciousness like an invisible sharp cone!
At the same time, the sand beneath the crystal suddenly collapsed, and a hideous tentacle, pitch black, covered in slime, and as thick as a bucket, burst forth from the sand like a venomous snake that had been lurking for a long time. With a foul stench, it lashed fiercely at Ye Yan's back!
This was actually a series of traps!
The array plate itself is both a controller and a decoy and triggering device!
"Master, be careful!" Mingchuan's pupils constricted, but it was too late to save him!
At the critical moment, a soft, cyan light enveloped Ye Yan—it was the Green-Faced Fox!
The terrifying shockwave struck the light screen, creating violent ripples, but it failed to penetrate immediately.
At the same time, the Crimson Flame Fox roared and threw a punch. The crimson-gold flame fist imprint arrived first and collided fiercely with the black tentacle that was being pulled out!
boom!
Flames and black slime splattered everywhere, the tentacles were charred black, and they squeaked as they retreated back into the sand.
Taking this opportunity, Ye Yan changed his grabbing motion to slapping, striking the side of the array plate with a palm. A burst of powerful spiritual energy sent the array plate and the dark purple crystal flying!
"Click..."
The array plate was covered with cracks in the air, the dark purple crystal light dimmed rapidly, and the fluctuations that controlled the beast tide completely disappeared.
Without unified command and weakened by the twin flames of Mingchuan, the remaining monsters in the surrounding area fell into even greater chaos. Some continued to attack on instinct, some began to bite each other, and some looked around blankly, even slowly retreating into the sea of sand.
The crisis is temporarily over.
But the five men showed no joy; instead, their expressions grew even more solemn.
"What a treacherous trap."
Ye Yan's face was a little pale. If it weren't for the timely protection of the Green-Faced Fox, he would have suffered a serious injury to his soul from that shock.
"Not only did they use a beast tide to wear us down, but they also set up a double-edged sword at a crucial juncture. It seems that the enemy anticipated our strength and our response."
Master Lingxu waved his hand and summoned the broken array plate and the dim crystal from mid-air for careful examination.
The array plate was crafted with excellent techniques, but it had no obvious markings.
The dark purple crystal was filled with a nauseating, chaotic, and evil aura, originating from the same source as the Demon Abyss, but it seemed to have undergone some kind of special taming or encapsulation, enabling it to output and manipulate fluctuations relatively stably.
"This item is not easy to refine, and requires a large number of demonic beasts to be deployed and controlled in advance. The fact that the other party set up an ambush here is definitely not a spur-of-the-moment decision."
Master Lingxu said in a deep voice, "Our journey has probably already been under their surveillance. The Lost Desert route may have already been exposed."
The Crimson Fox kicked away a half-frozen sand lizard at its feet in a fit of rage: "What do we do then? Take a detour? Or fight our way back?"
The blue-faced fox sensed its surroundings and said softly, "Although the beast tide has dispersed, the desert is fraught with danger. Since the enemy has already set up an ambush here, it's hard to guarantee that there won't be more traps ahead. Taking a detour is too time-consuming, and other routes may be equally dangerous."
