Chapter 738: Easton's King (III)
They obviously were not very fast as they traveled on foot. Only after fifteen minutes did they approach the foot of the Easton Mountain.
Sisi stopped and looked at the sky to check the time. Long Haochen just happened to be looking back at her. When he saw her long eyelashes tremble gently, he could not help but admire her beauty.
“The king of Easton should be starting his nap. Big brother Long, it'll be all on you next. I'll light the special medicine.”
As she said that, she lifted up the Cloves of Intoxication and took out a firestarter from her bosom, lighting it carefully. Immediately, a thin wisp of smoke floated up. Sisi did not let it spread. Instead, she quickly produced a curtain of water to envelope the burning cloves.
The smoke and water curtain fused together and very soon, the layer of water became a strange, gentle pink.
The Cloves of Intoxication burned very quickly. In just a few seconds, it had been reduced to ashes, while the water in Sisi's hands had become an attractive pink.
With a flip of her hand, Sisi chanted gently and immediately, the pink water began to solidify. In a single instant, it had turned into several longan-sized pink balls of ice. It seemed very beautiful, just like pink gemstones.
Sisi smiled at Long Haochen and said, “That's the only way to preserve the effects of the medicine. Once we enter the mountain, we'll blow these up and the effect will kick in. We can climb the mountain now. Just here, all the way up. Big brother Long, we have to move quickly.”
Seeing how Sisi released her spiritual wings again, Long Haochen did the same.
The two of them flew together, remaining close to the cliff face. As they flew, Sisi would constantly tossed out balls of ice in different directions. Just like what she had said, once the piece of ice flew out, they exploded immediately and turned into a pink mist which spread slowly.
As expected, they did not encounter any obstacles along the way. Before long, a huge, natural cave appeared up ahead. However, Long Haochen sensed four powerful auras at the entrance.
Sisi caught up to Long Haochen and made a gesture to tell him to slow down. At the same time, she tossed up a piece of ice. After it had exploded in the air, the mist silently spread towards the entrance.
Very soon, the four powerful auras began to weaken.
Long Haochen was secretly shocked. The effects of the Cloves of Intoxication really were powerful. The guards at the entrance of the cave would definitely be powerhouses of the ninth step. If it were not for the piece of root in his mouth, he had no idea whether he could nullifying the poisonous effects through his holy power.
As they drifted up, the two of them landed at the entrance together. Excitement flashed through the depths of Sisi's eyes. Four huge bodies lay on the ground. They were the same as the huge gorilla Long Haochen had seen before. Even though they lay there unconscious, they still seemed to possess shocking strength with their giant statures. However, they had only sleeping. Their breathing was uniform and stable.
As if she could tell what Long Haochen was thinking, Sisi smiled, “Don't worry, big brother Long. The effects of the Cloves of Intoxication are very powerful, but they're useless against domain wielding powerhouses. Otherwise, wouldn't I be able to save my family just by using it? Let's go in, or we'll run out of time.”
The natural cave that belonged to the king of Easton was extremely spacious. When they entered the cave, the dense aura of nature with a tremendous vital force surged over. Long Haochen felt all his pores seemingly open up. A deep breath of the air there actually made his spiritual energy rise at a shocking rate. It was enough to rival when he focused on cultivation.
The vital force can actually increase my spiritual energy? Long Haochen knew very well that this was impossible in the past. It must have come with his breakthrough to the third rank of the ninth step.
Sisi waved at Long Haochen and immediately flew off into the cave without stowing her spiritual wings away.
The natural cave was uncanny. They could sense its size even better after entering it. Half the mountain seemed to be hollowed out, making it extremely spacious. As the two of them flew through the cave, they seemed like two inconspicuous bugs. There were no man-made marks on the walls of the cave at all, so it should have been formed naturally, which made it even more amazing.
They did not have time to admire the wonders of the cave. Very soon, they arrived in the centre of the mountain.
It was exactly then that Long Haochen heard a strange sound.
“Huu… huu… huu… huu…”
The thunderous snoring made Long Haochen's expression take a strange turn.
“This is?”
Sisi nodded and said softly, “The king of Easton is already asleep. That's his snoring. Let's go.”
Long Haochen found this rather funny. Did great strength come with great snoring?
The centre of the mountain was the most spacious region of the cave. After looking around for a little, Sisi brought Long Haochen to a boulder. Behind the boulder was a tunnel that extended straight into the wall. The tunnel was only as tall as a man and it was blocked by the boulder. If it were not for the fact that they were so close, they would have missed it completely.
“Long Haochen, this should leave to the deeper caves. My family should be held there. I…” When she reached there, she looked at Long Haochen with hesitation.
Long Haochen said, “You go save your family. I'll stand guard here. If the king of Easton discovers me, I'll draw him away.”
Sisi bit her lip gently and looked at Long Haochen deeply. Suddenly, she threw herself at him and hugged him tightly. Caught off-guard, she managed to wrap her arms around him firmly.
“Big brother Long Haochen, if we save our family, I'll be your servant in the future. I'll serve you for your entire life.” Only with that did she let go and plunge into the tunnel.
Long Haochen pushed his right hand towards her back gently and a small multicolored swirl immediately entered Sisi's body. She only felt her spiritual energy immediately surge. She could not help but look back at Long Haochen gratefully.
“Be careful,” Long Haochen nodded at her.
Sisi nodded back gently, before speeding up once more and disappearing around the corner.
With a leap, Long Haochen landed on the boulder in front of the tunnel. It was also at this time that the thunderous snoring stopped.
“Who is it? Who has intruded my special area?” The heavy, loud voice was the same as the snoring before. His voice boomed thunderously through the huge cave with a ceiling three hundred meters high.
An idea flashed through Long Haochen's head and the light from the beating Heart of Eternity began to pulse violently near his chest.
The evolution of the Light God Domain allowed him to directly convert the vitality of the outside world into his personal spiritual energy. Once the vitality entered a range of ten meters, it would actually become countless specks of green light and fuse into Long Haochen's body. It was an extremely strange sight.
A terrifying pressure immediately flooded the surroundings. Resplendent, multi-colored golden light also expanded from Long Haochen. Facing against a powerhouse like the king of Easton, how could he not use his personal domain?
The king of Easton had yet to arrive, but the jade-green light from his domain had arrived already.
The colour of the domain was extremely special. The green was gorgeous, yet also so noble. The extremely dense vitality actually managed to match the purity of Long Haochen's light element.
The green and golden light collided and a strange sight appeared. The two domains had not collided violently. Instead, the golden light had fused with the green light once they made contact.
The golden light clearly possessed the upper hand. After coming in contact with the green light, it actually swelled rapidly. It became even more blinding. In the blink of an eye, it grew by a third in size.
“Hmm?” The loud voice seemed to be in doubt. Afterwards, Long Haochen saw a figure appear in the centre of the green light to his surprise. At the same time, the green domain retreated backwards, maintaining a certain distance from his Light God Domain.
Long Haochen would not have been so surprising if it were just for the fact that king of Easton's tremendous size had surpassed the gorillas outside. The real reason for his surprise was because this king who had conquered the world of Easton, who struck fear into the heart of Sisi, was just… just too short.
He was probably a meter and a half in height? He was that much at most. If he stood before Long Haochen, he would not even reach his chest.
The king of Easton had thick, short, brown hair. His hair was curly and rather messy. He wore a set of armor that seemed to be carved from jade, shining with blinding light. He was not tall, but he was extremely sturdy. He had a broad chest and was at least two thirds as wide as his height. His face was covered in hair, such that only his nose and eyes were visible.
He really did have a bright red, bulbous nose, but his eyes were brown like his hair. He held a huge axe in his left hand. Just the blade of the axe, not including the handle, was around the same size as his body, while in his right hand was a huge hammer, which was roughly the same size as the axe. It really was a strange sight as he held the pair of huge, green weapons with his short stature.
Divine tools. Although the two weapons were also green like the king of Easton's armor, Long Haochen immediately determined that they were on par to divine tools.
The color could vary, but the aura couldn't be wrong. The extremely pure aura of vitality had turned the entire cave green.
The king of Easton did seem powerful, but Long Haochen did not feel particularly pressured. The Light God Domain shrank to a range of thirty meters. All green light that entered the vicinity of the domain would immediately become a part of the Light God Domain.
