Chapter 1360 Bulwark Umbrella (1/2)
Han Sen was taken aback when he saw what emerged from his Sea of Soul. It was an umbrella. It was thin-framed and elegant, like the sort you'd see fancy women use.
Its color was blacker than the filthiest coal, though. Even its handle was.
When the umbrella appeared, it flew above Han Sen's head. Beneath this umbrella, Han Sen felt a veil or shroud envelope him.
The cold and the shriek were gone.
Han Sen noticed, if he was able to stay within the umbrella's covering radius, all the negative and detrimental effects were filtered and kept away.
”Is this the geno core of the Dongxuan Sutra?” Han Sen quickly reviewed the information of the geno core.
Self Geno Core: Bronze Bulwark Umbrella
Beneath the protective canopy of the Bulwark Umbrella, no power was able to breach the defense and ravage them. Bao'er had returned to normal, and she seemed surprised by the sudden disappearance of the cold and sound. She examined the umbrella that now shielded her.
Han Sen went over to check on the Dragon Lady and Cheap Sheep. The lady was now doing fine.
The sheep was breathing in a raspy wheeze. It looked like the umbrella had manifested just in time, as the sheep had to have been hanging on to its life by a measly thread.
Han Sen healed Dragon Lady and Cheap Sheep as best he could for the time being. For the Dragon Lady, chunks of ice and frosty air were expelled from her mouth and various orifices. She was doing well, but the same could not be said for Cheap Sheep. He was doing poorly, despite the healing. He couldn't even speak.
”Are they gone?” Dragon Lady said, with a strained voice.
”Not yet,” Han Sen replied, taking a look outside the bowl.
She couldn't sense anything outside, but that may have been a result of her condition. Han Sen, however, even though he could not detect much, could just feel a battle continuing to rage.
Fortunately, the Bulwark Umbrella had appeared to protect them when it did. With relief for their newfound safety, the group rested for a while as Han Sen tended to the sheep.
But suddenly, a sound that was as loud as a toppled mountain was heard. And then, a soft and unnerving silence enveloped them.
”It sounds as if there might have been a victor,” Han Sen thought to himself.
He wasn't yet going to move from where he was, though. He didn't know who was fighting or what the fighting was about. If he emerged, and the winner was in a foul mood, he'd be foolish to reveal himself.
So, they waited where they were for a few hours. Nothing stirred for the duration of that time.
Han Sen decided to return the umbrella, and Dragon Lady her bowl.
To cut and shovel their way through the snow that had almost buried them, Dragon Lady employed her various kitchen utensils.
