Chapter 158 - Long Fei in Trouble, Soul Coins for Fight (2/2)
“Then what to do?” Hao Ning said hastily, “It seems that he’s in great danger! What to do?” Saying that, he peered at Zhou Yuan, “Or you and I circle escape to save him? Long Fei should have his mobile with him. You can trace him, right?” After that, he took out his mobile looking through for Long Fei’s contact.
Before Zhou Yuan uttered any words, Xiao Hong picked up instantly, “No way! The creature which is able to push three black bamboo leaves so hard must possess tremendous power. I’m not positive about my success. If we go there baldly, with such a few of us ‒” He glanced at everyone and shook his head, “We’ll probably get trapped, too. To say the least, we’re not there to kill our enemies but to save our comrades. Even if we’re able to triumph over our opponents, if they’ve got some methods to delay for several minutes, Long Fei would lose his life.”
Hao Ning was clear that Xiao Hong was the most powerful one among them. Liu Shuai wasn’t a competitive one even before he had lost his power. Zhou Yuan could achieve nothing but upgrade his outlook aside from delusive magic. Nezha would be of help if he’d got his full power, while for then he couldn’t even use the Nine Dragons Shield of Divine Fire at ease with his own strength. Surely, they couldn’t count on him. As for himself… Ah, no mention, no tears.
“So…” Nezha, who didn’t get any approval when he said to help Xiao Hong strip the dragon’s tendon, asked tentatively in face of everyone’s muteness, “How about trying with soul coin materials?”
“Em?” Something occurred to Hao Ning and he nodded in favor, “Good. Why not? Based on such effectiveness of Divine Fire Column of Nine Dragons.”
“But I’ve never tried, with black bamboo leaves…” Xiao Hong was somewhat hesitant but made up his mind seeing the whole leaf being about to turn yellow, “Let’s do it!”
He tipped the tiny bottle at his words. Some materials of soul coins went out of the bottle and dripped into the tea on the leaf.
The tea began to shake turbulently at a crackle. In no time it was about to levitate carrying the paper. Xiao Hong got stunned and was intended to hold back the paper. While the paper revolved in the air and disappeared all of a sudden. The twist went too fast, which left Xiao Hong and the others staring at Nezha in silence.
“Nezha,” Hao Ning peered dully at Nezha who was in a similar muddle, “Where did you bring Long Fei’s leaf?”
“Eh…” Nezha didn’t expect such an outcome, either, “Nowhere. I did not move. It was he who exerted the material just now!” He pointed at Xiao Hong at the end of his words and waved his hands nervously to stress that he wasn’t involved at all, “Whatever, I can only take the blame for my suggestion, but not for execution!”
“Xiao Hong?” Hao Ning was looking at Xiao Hong, who broke out in a cold sweat. He was about to help, while for then, the tool for help had disappeared.
“Maybe we had too much of it? No extreme will hold long?” Liu Shuai speculated. Nezha had consumed only a little just now, while Xiao Hong, who was urgent to save Long Fei, used a lot as if they’d been free.
“No. I’ve never heard of that it would come to reverse when we use too much.” Nezha shook his head.
The virtual reality cracked abruptly during their conversation, and the paper-coated leaf flew out of the rip, accompanied by thick vapor which was glowing subtly golden light. Xiao Hong was frightened to a shiver at the sight of the golden light, “Piss it! How it appears? Who borrowed South Sea Water Essence?”
“South Sea Water Essence?” It sounded familiar to Hao Ning. Then he recalled from Xiao Hong’s countenance that it was what Zhang Chi Hang borrowed with Clear Glass Bottle when subduing Xiao Hong. It was known for the golden gleam.
“Maybe it is a result of excessive material of soul coins…” Liu Shuai saw the almost fully golden drops facilitating the green on the leaf to surmount swiftly with the caramel-like yellow regressing to a small corner. It was far faster than when Xiao Hong cast his spell just now.
“It should be.” Nezha seemed hilarious, too, “Brother Hao Ning, your material is literally miraculous with such an unimaginable purity, which accounts for the upgrading power of rootless water and black bamboo leaves, furthermore, the divine effectiveness.”
“That makes sense.” Xiao Hong, gazing at the paper, got excited and rubbed his palm, “Rootless water is definitely attractive to water essence. S City, located nearby the South Sea, has got affluent vapor. It’s reasonable to break through the air and went above the sea to absorb the water essence. But why’s the yellow on the leaf so persistent that it can’t be eliminated?”
All of a sudden, the leaf shook with a bang. The yellow spot disappeared, but the whole vein of the leaf got messed up. “No!” Xiao Hong shouted, “Long Fei must have used his inherent spirit to destroy some arrays of the rival. Though the spirit remains now, it should be extremely weak!”
Saying that, Xiao Hong’s mobile rang. Xiao Hong’s face changed when seeing the caller. He said nothing after picking up the phone. After several words from that side, Xiao Hong’s expression got worse and worse. Hanging up the phone, Xiao Hong said to Zhou Yuan agitatedly, “Hurry! Turn the area spanning thirty kilometers around here all into a sea!”
