602 Successful Rescue (1/2)
In the Pond of Illusive Ripples that had been torn apart, there were some mingled white powders and shadows of Primordial Fierce Beasts. Like a predator who spotted its prey, Giant Void Hands were grabbing all the broken pieces - the left rushed about, the right dashed around, resolute to grasp those white powders and fully refine them. These hands were exactly the Giant Void Hands of Zhou Bao.
After having shattered the entire Pond of Illusive Ripples by three hammer strikes, Zhou Bao's eyes had instantly turned to the white powders, the remains of those Giant Clam Primordial Fierce Beasts left many years ago. This was also the underlying reason why this meteorite could evolve into the Pond of Illusive Ripples in the first place.
People in the two Star Areas did eye those remains at one time or another, but those remains were left too long ago. If you only collected a bit of them, it would be of little power. If you collected an awful lot, the power of the Pond of Illusive Ripples would be offset. Furthermore, those remains were the common property belonging to both Star Areas. Therefore, all of it was still stored in the Pond of Illusive Ripples, allowing Zhou Bao to acquire another gain.
Standing beside Zhou Bao were Monk Huan Ri from the Bigwheel Temple and Hong Taihe.
They did not make many movements but just silently gawked at the Giant Void Hands of Zhou Bao dashing about among the remains of that Pond of Illusive Ripples and gathering all of the remains into them for refining while the shocking scene that happened just now was still replaying in their minds.
The moment the whole meteorite exploded was the most impressive picture to them. The Divine Lord of Red Sun and his subordinates fleed in a rush, having no chance for revenge at all. Later, when all the clouds and mists had dispersed, the only scene they could see was Zhou Bao clutching an eccentric Green Bamboo Stick in his hand while ordering his Innate Qi Catching Hand to collect the remains of the Giant Clams. There was no trace of any other person there.
Obviously, these two were saved by Zhou Bao. But how did he do that? They may never know.
These two both fixed their eyes on the two green hammers that were hanging on Zhou Bao's hips, each hammer having the size of a watermelon. And a trace of doubt could be found in their gazes.
For sure, they were rescued by Zhou Bao, because in this Star Area there were just Zhou Bao and these two left. Zhou Bao was on the same side as them. But there was just one thing they were uncertain of: did Zhou Bao truly have such a powerful strength to accomplish such a thing?
Huan Ri was a Seven-tribulation Lord of Heaven while Hong Taihe was an Eight-tribulation Lord of Heaven. Of course, Huan Ri had already solidified his Self-world. As for Hong Taihe who had lost his Self-world, we shall just address him as a Venerable. Now, those two did a little self-examine and came to one conclusion: even if Hong Taihe had not solidified his Self-world and still maintained a standard strength at the level of an Eight-tribulation Lord of Heaven, provided that there was no further pressure, it would still be extremely difficult for him to break out of such an eccentric place like this Pond of Illusive Ripples, let alone making such a scene like Zhou Bao did.
Hong Taihe had fought against Zhou Bao once. Although he lost that fight, he was confident that he had seen Zhou Bao's limit. Thus, now, he was at a total loss. ”Was I really saved by Zhou Bao? Does Zhou Bao truly have such a capability? When he confronted me last time, he never revealed such strength. Otherwise, I would be smashed into meat paste long before. Could all this be attributed to the two newly-added hammers behind his butt?”
The two watermelon-sized hammers hanging behind Zhou Bao's butt were quite conspicuous. When he moved, these hammers would plink and plunk like a symphony corresponding to his movements, so it would be difficult to make them less eye-appealing. The two hammers did look like something fancier than ordinary weapons, but could they really be that powerful?
In contrast to Hong Taihe's confusion, Monk Huan Ri took a more clear-cut action. He said, ”It turns out that King Wuyang personally gave us a helping hand. I, Huan Ri, owe you one for your kindness!”
”It's nothing worth mentioning, Hierarch Huan R. You praise me too much!” Zhou Bao gave a smile and cupped his hands at Hierarch Huan Ri. ”It's just like lifting a finger. Anyway, this time the reason I came here is exactly for you two!”
”Oh? For us? How come?!”
Right then, Zhou Bao had finished gathering all the remains of the Giant Clam Primordial Fierce Beasts. And he withdrew the Giant Void Hands and accounted the cause and effect of the whole matter with a smile.
