Chapter 62: Remnant of the Arcana Race (2) (Part 8)

He was already old, and the Arcana Race did not cultivate their physique, so after all this time he didn’t have many teeth left in the first place.

After this punch, he basically had no teeth remaining.

He stared at Iron Cliff with anger, and the old man’s entire body began to emit a shocking killing intent. “Damned Cliff Race, you actually dared to harm I, the great Ulrich! You must die!”

He pointed the magic staff in his hand toward Iron Cliff. Iron Cliff’s body was instantly engulfed in flames.

“AWOO!” Iron Cliff let out a pained howl.

But Iron Cliff did not retreat. He instead hugged his head and rushed forwards. He grabbed the old man, causing the flames to engulf both him and the old man.

“Flames, retreat!” Ulrich yelled loudly. He had no choice but to disperse the Origin Energy flames on Iron Cliff’s body.

Iron Cliff was still holding him tightly, and was unwilling to let him go. As part of the Cliff Race, he had not yet entered the Qi Drawing Realm and could not use Origin Energy. However, he still had a strong physique and could restrict the opponent. He would hug this old man to death.

A scornful expression flashed across Ulrich’s eyes. “You insignificant insect, do you think that you can harm me?”

As Ulrich spoke, Iron Cliff suddenly discovered that something had grabbed onto his arm. He saw that a tentacle made out of air had taken hold of his arm, and was pulling it outwards.

“NO!” Iron Cliff let out a low, angry howl, as he furiously fought against the force that was pulling his arm out.

This was pure physical strength fighting against an Origin Skill. Surprisingly, Iron Cliff was actually able to resist the air tentacle’s pulling.

“So it seems you have some ability?” Some surprise appeared in Ulrich’s eyes. “But in the end, it’s still not enough.”

He laughed strangely and snapped his fingers.

More air tentacles appeared from thin air and grabbed onto Iron Cliff, pulling him forcefully away from Ulrich’s body. They then began to pull on him from all sides, trying to pull him into pieces.

“This is what happens when you overestimate your strength.” Ulrich sneered sinisterly. “I want your blood as a sacrifice to my precious. I will make you…… Hm?”

Ulrich said with shock.

A flash of cold light shot towards him.

Ulrich hurriedly activated his Origin Energy barrier. A poison dart slammed against his barrier, then fell to the ground.

He turned his head around to see that in his battle with the beetle, Su Chen had not forgotten to throw a dart at him.

Upon seeing that his dart had not hit his target, Su Chen sighed in his heart.

In reality, if he had waited a little bit longer before making a move, until Ulrich was overconfident, he might have been able to succeed.

But if he waited for that opportunity, Iron Cliff might have died.

u Chen didn’t want to do that. At the very least, he was unwilling to exchange Iron Cliff’s life for success in battle.

However, it was now impossible to succeed if the situation progressed.

Su Chen and Iron Cliff were far from being Ulrich and the beetle’s opponents. That beetle was simply too strong. Even one-on-one, Su Chen could do nothing to it. Thankfully, the beetle’s speed was not too fast, and Su Chen still had the opportunity to dodge. However, with Ulrich present, he would die sooner or later.

Would he really fail here?

In the distance, Ulrich had already activated the air tentacles again, and had lifted Iron Cliff into the air. Ulrich seemed as if he was very accustomed to torturing people, and he was not particularly busy trying to kill Iron Cliff quickly.

Next to Su Chen, the large beetle was still attacking, brandishing its mandibles at him, forcing him to concentrate all his attention on defending himself and leaving him with no possible method.

Upon seeing this scene, Su Chen’s heart felt like it was on fire.

What could he do? Was there any way out of this situation?

As Su Chen continued to evade, he furiously racked his brain for ideas.

Just at this moment, the large beetle charged Su Chen. As Su Chen evaded, the large beetle headbutted the mountain rock, actually knocking loose a piece of starsilver ore.

When that starsilver landed on the ground, the large beetle paused and took a moment to swallow the ore whole.

This scene causes Su Chen’s eyes to light up.

He suddenly realized something, and furiously pulled out something from his storage ring.

A piece of pure, refined starsilver.

As if it had smelled the fragrance of metal, the large beetle let out a piercing yell. Even after Su Chen had chopped at it with his blade ten or so times, it had never let out such an excited screech.

“Do you want to eat it?” Su Chen yelled loudly.

“Hiss!” The large beetle stood up straight, as if it were a dog begging for food in front of its master.
