Chapter 872: Rich Gains (1/2)

Mu Biqiong’s eyes were filled with fear as she stared up at the green shield.

Even her elegant body was trembling slightly, with wisps of blood coming out of her nose and the corner of her mouth.

“It’s not working,” she said in frustration.

Huang Jinnan was also rather disappointed. “Even powerful outsider plants like the coexisting flowers can’t penetrate that shield. This is a bit troublesome now. I don’t think those outsiders will give up so easily. They may come back here after gathering enough forces. There are a large number of outsider explorers in the Bloody Grave Mountain Range. It won’t be difficult for them to gather more.

“So we need to collect these berries as soon as possible.”

Upon seeing Mu Biqiong’s failure and hearing Huang Jinnan’s words, the other Qi warriors went into action again.

Streaks of flame power, lightning power, water power, and power of other attributes shot up towards the green shield, along with all kinds of spiritual tools.

Nie Tian secretly examined them, and discovered that many of them were Spirit Channeling grade spiritual tools.

There were very few Spirit Channeling grade treasures throughout the Domain of the Falling Stars. Only a handful of Soul realm luminaries possessed one or two.

However, all of these Qi warriors were at the Worldly realm or Profound realm, and rather young.

Not just that, but they also practiced exquisite incantations of different attributes. However, their effort to break the green shield all turned out to be in vain.

Soon, everyone stopped trying, Huang Jinnan being the only one who didn’t make any attempts.

The green shield was still intact, but two of the berries that contained rich life power had vanished.

Now, there were only thirty-three left.

Those two berries’ power seemed to be channeled into the green shield, making it resilient enough to ward off the people’s waves of attacks.

“No more idle attempts,” Huang Jinnan said with furrowed eyebrows. “If we keep doing this, even if we can break the shield, there won’t be any berries left for us to collect. Our goal is to gain those berries. What good is breaking the shield if we’re going to lose all of them?”

Everyone sighed in frustruation.

After swallowing a medicinal pill, Mu Biqiong fixed her deep eyes on Nie Tian and asked, “Why don’t you give it a shot? Perhaps you’ll be able to go through the shield without hurting those berries.”

Yin Yanan nodded in agreement.

Both of them were well-aware that Nie Tian practiced unique wood power incantations.

The fact that both their Frost Blood Python and coexisting flowers had shown a strong desire for him proved that there must be something special in Nie Tian that had a strong appeal to them.

Furthermore, they also knew that Nie Tian’s Wood Thriving Formation, which he had used before, had profound connections to the Floragrims.

Upon hearing her words, Huang Jinnan gave Nie Tian a surprised sideways glance.

Fragmentary golden symbols could be seen swimming like fishes in the depths of his pupils, which seemed to be painted gold with some magical paint.

“You...” he said. “You practice flame power and wood power incantations too? Besides star power incantations? You’re indeed full of surprises. Oh right, you’re no ordinary human. You carry an outsider bloodline, which will allow you to live much longer than ordinary humans.

“That’s why you dare to practice three types of incantations at the same time, right?”

Before Nie Tian could answer him, he went on and said to himself, “It’s just that are your wood power incantations very different from others’? Some of these guys also practice wood power incantations, but they still failed to get through that green shield and get those berries.”

Nie Tian smiled, looking completely unworried. “Let me give it a try.”

With these words, a dark-green spiritual aura built up on the tip of his finger.

It was power that originated in his vortex of wood power, which carried vigorous life force.

Like a streak of dark-green light that was only as thick as a chopstick, it shot up and infused into the green shield.

BOOM!

As soon as it made contact with the green shield, it exploded and vanished.

An immense force of expulsion instantly stormed into his extended finger.

Instead of spiritual power, the force of expulsion was a wisp of strong flesh aura.

It followed Nie Tian’s arm into his whole body, causing peculiar changes.

Nie Tian felt as if it was roaming around to plunder his life force.

“Life Drain!” Nie Tian snorted inwardly as he activated his bloodline talent to summon wisps of his flesh power from every corner of his body to bind up the foreign flesh aura.

SHEW!

The flesh aura seemed to go through some changes and flew voluntarily towards his heart, as if it were attracted by something.

Nie Tian examined it closely with his soul awareness, and saw that the flesh aura originating from that green shield flew directly into the green aura within his heart like a river fusing into the sea, and soon vanished.

Immediately afterwards, the green aura in his heart grew restless, like a greedy snake yearning for more.

At this moment, everyone’s expressions flickered with astonishment, their eyes fixed on him.

They had all attempted to break the green shield, and suffered backlashes as soon as they made contact with it.

Strong flesh auras had forcibly entered their bodies and sucked away their life force.

They had struggled to contend against them. Some had sustained serious injuries, while others had managed to drive them out with great effort.

Therefore, when the green shield had sent a backlash aura into Nie Tian’s body, they had all assumed that he would experience the same thing as they had, dealing with his internal riot in a muddled fashion.

However, Nie Tian’s reaction surprised them.

The backlash aura was neutralized as soon as a wave of mysterious, subtle fluctuations appeared within him.

At the same time, Nie Tian seemed as calm as ever, as if he wasn’t affected at all.

Huang Jinnan’s eyes lit up. “Hmm?!”

Looking very intrigued, he said, “Even though your wood power incantations also caused a backlash from the green shield, your bloodline power... seemed to have helped you neutralize it. Why don’t you try to use your bloodline power instead?”
