Chapter 679 - This is my son!
GDK 679: This is my son!
After exiting his cave, Han Shuo went to the cave where Akley was restoring his divine energy. Although Akley now appeared much better compared to a few days before, it was impossible for him to completely recover within the span of a few days.
Akley immediately awoke as soon as Han Shuo arrived. He opened his eyes, adjusted himself, and did a little stretching before standing up and asking, “What’s up?”
“How are you doing? How are your injuries?” Han Shuo asked.
“It would take years to fully recover. Of course, if we find the divine essence mine, that will be a whole nother story!” Akley sighed and forced a smile.
“Don’t worry, as long as the divine essence mine is inside the mountain range, we will be able to locate it,” Han Shuo said, full of confidence.
“Even I do not have such enormous confidence. Where is this coming from?” Akley asked with a smile.
“I found a good friend. With his assistance, as long as the divine essence mine is in the mountain range, we will find it without a doubt!” Han Shuo was very confident because he had trust in earth elite zombie and metal elite zombie’s abilities. It was also at this moment that Han Shuo realized that he no longer needed Akley. Having grasped the general location, that divine essence mine would be a sure gain for Han Shuo.
“What? You have brought in another person? What friend would you have on this material plane?” Akley was shocked. He appeared very worried and looked all around vigilantly before he said, “Why did you not seek my approval before you made that reckless decision? Dodn’t you know what those divine essences signify? If that friend of yours has other thoughts, we will all be finished! Your actions are preposterous!”
Akley lowered and shook his head. He sighed, “Forget about it. I don’t think I will ever come close to understanding your ways. But since he is your son, I think there is still room for discussion about this matter. At least he likely will not think of selling us out.”
By this point in time, Han Shuo was no longer concerned about what Akley had to say. With the help of a mystical demon following earth elite zombie and metal elite zombie, Han Shuo could observe their situation remotely.
With earth elite zombie paving the way, the duo traveling deep under the ground advanced towards the Demon Mountain. As they had carefully concealed the aura on their bodies and they were very far beneath the surface, Han Shuo believed that those living in the mountain range wouldn’t detect their presences.
Earth elite zombie could bring metal elite zombie to the underbelly of the Demon Mountain. Although earth elite zombie could not penetrate the hard rock that made up the mountain, it would pose no trouble to metal elite zombie. Additionally, metal elite zombie had the ability to detect any kind of metals or ores. Once metal elite zombie entered the Demon Mountain, no matter how concealed the divine essence mine was, with his extraordinary innately gifted senses, metal elite zombie would find them.
A divine essence mine naturally concealed the aura of the precious crystals within. This was the reason why a god, no matter how mighty, could not discover divine essence mines just by utilizing their senses.
Han Shuo believed that as long as the person who originally discovered the divine essence mine was not mentally handicapped, they would not try to deploy a boundary around the mine to conceal it. This was because the mightier a godly existence was, the more sensitive they were to elemental energy. And since elemental or edictal energy were ever-present on boundaries and seals, in such a mountain range, having a concealment boundary around the mine would be self-defeating.
Without any boundary or seal, what could stop the innately gifted metal elite zombie from detecting the divine essence mine?
“Father, we found the place. Should we go up now?” earth elite zombie suddenly transmitted. He sounded rather enthusiastic.
“Don’t rush. Wait for a moment,” Han Shuo immediately replied. Next, he communicated with the Cauldron Spirit, “It’s your turn for action!”
“No problem, master,” the Cauldron Spirit answered. By using the underground tunnel that earth elite zombie constructed, all the demon generals within the Cauldron of Myriad Demon rapidly flew towards earth elite zombie and metal elite zombie. They transformed into multiple dark threads that stick to the elite zombies’ bodies.
The Cauldron of Myriad Demon was the mightiest demonic weapon previously possessed by Gu Tian Xie the Exalted Demonlord. Certain ancient demonic formations could be easily deployed using the demon generals contained in the Cauldron. Those dark lines stuck to the bodies of metal and earth elite zombies made up a demonic formation for concealing aura formed using the energy of the demon generals. The Cauldron Spirit very confidently assured Han Shuo that with those demonic formations wrapping metal and earth elite zombies, not a single being could detect the duo’s aura.
Han Shuo had confidence in Cauldron Spirit. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have let earth and metal elite zombies venture there by themselves. With the duo’s remarkable innate skills, in addition to having the energy of this mighty demonic weapon called the Cauldron of Myriad Demon, Han Shuo felt that this operation of excavating the divine essence mine was a walk in the park.
“You may now ascend the mountain!” after getting confirmation from the Cauldron Spirit, Han Shuo immediately transmitted to earth and metal elite zombies.
