Chapter 265: Raw ores
Han Shuo immediately ducked behind a lush bush upon leaving the valley. He used his mental strength to contact the earth elite zombie and the little skeleton.
Whoosh! A thin white light gleamed under the moonlight, whizzing from within the valley to settle beside Han Shuo. This was obviously the little skeleton holding his bone knife.
The seven bone spurs had returned to the little skeleton’s back. He held the bone knife very leisurely, like a child touring a flower garden, not caring at all about the chaotic happenings in the valley. What a veteran!
After establishing contact with his mind, Han Shuo could sense the earth elite zombie swimming towards him from the depths of the valley. Ten seconds later, the ground beneath his feet loosened and the honest earth elite zombie clambered out.
“Where are they?” Han Shuo hastily asked upon seeing the earth elite zombie return.
The earth elite zombie was taken aback. He scratched his head dumbly in a moment of thought, then sank again down to the ground, going back to the valley using the same way. However, his speed was a little slower this time. Han Shuo focused his eyes and discovered that the earth elite zombie had drilled a tunnel that one person could fit in.
It seemed that the earth elite zombie had thrown everything to the wind and returned to Han Shuo when his master had called him just now, so he’d completely forgotten Trunks and the others. Only after Han Shuo’s inquiry did the earth elite zombie remember that he’d been in charge, so he used his natural talent to dig a tunnel again.
The earth elite zombie could swim freely within the earth, but Trunks and the others didn’t have this miraculous talent. Thus the tunnel was essential. The earth elite zombie was using his talents to create a passage in the valley, and thus his current speed couldn’t compare to his usual flying through the earth.
The three yin demons were quite a distance away. One was following the Cairo mercenary band’s chief Laureton. Laureton had returned to his twice berserk state now and was escaping towards the Valley of Sunshine along with the rest of the remaining Cairo experts.
The Cairo mercenary band had taken severe damage after the intense battle in the valley. A dozen experts had been killed, incensing Laureton. However, he understood that it was simply impossible for the Cairo mercenary band to win against the three other forces outside the Valley of Sunshine. He intended to return with full effort to the Valley of Sunshine and take revenge at a later time.
Another yin demon remained in the valley. Since Han Shuo had beaten Ferguson to death, Florida had suffered a major blow. He was currently holding Ferguson’s corpse and letting out earth-shattering wails. He’d simply forgotten about leading the pursuit of Laureton.
Ferguson had dearly spoiled his grandson, paving a great and easy path for his growth. It was due to Ferguson’s identity, as well as support from the Church of Light, that allowed Florida to have the confidence in contesting Laureton for the position of leading power in the Valley of Sunshine. However, since the grandfather who’d nurtured him had been beaten to death by Han Shuo, it’d be hard to say if he could borrow the force of the Church of Light from now on.
To Florida, his grandfather’s death was emotionally unbearable and also threw a great wrench into his practical benefits. Even the sinister leader of the Rainbow Sickle mercenary band couldn’t help but burst into tears under this double blow.
The House of Menlo’s group wasn’t very far from Florida. Adam Menlo’s was covered in injuries. When taking that sky-shattering blow from Han Shuo, Adam Menlo had first circulated his fighting aura for a full body defense before wrapping himself firmly in the great roc. That was how he’d barely escaped the grasp of death.
Although he’d avoided heavy injury, his partner for decades, the golden-winged roc hadn’t shared the same luck. It had almost been scraped bald by the little skeleton’s bone knife, and more than half the feathers on its golden wings had been snapped. When it’d faced Han Shuo’s heaven-shattering blow, the roc had protected Adam Menlo out of instinct, using its enormous body to withstand the attack. Its injuries were extremely serious.
In this moment, even though Adam Menlo’s heart was dejected, he was also extremely furious. He shakily caressed the roc’s bald, bloody wings and screamed with rage, “I want to kill him! I must kill him!!”
Several small powers lurking in the valley had witnessed all of the heaven-shaking changes that had taken place thus far. Han Shuo’s crazy atrocities were engraved in their minds and made the name of Soul Destroyer famous. Since Han Shuo’s performance tonight demonstrated his close relationship with the Soul Destroyer mercenary band, no one would dare to look down on the group’s strength again.
Han Shuo used the three yin demons to observe their surroundings. After a while, the earth elite zombie leapt out from the ground again. He pulled on Han Shuo’s sleeve and pointed his finger to the underground tunnel, as if waiting for praise.
Patting the earth elite zombie’s shoulder, Han Shuo said with a smile, “Not bad, you did it right this time!”
