Chapter 503 - Tina’s Display of Might
Liu Chuchu was the first person to detect Tina’s tiny figure. In order to prevent the skeletons from discovering her, however, she remained silent.
After a short while, An Lin, who was being beaten by a large mob of skeletons, also noticed Tina’s sprinting figure. She was so small yet so eye-catching.
This discovery took him by surprise, and a feeling of joy crashed into his mind.
An Lin shuddered, and tears of joy almost burst out from his watery eyes! He gave Tina tens of thousands of thumbs up in his mind.
You go, Tina! Bring back the honor and glory that belongs to us!
Harvest all the Realm Essence Crystals! After all, hehehe… Tina’s belongings are my belongings!
An Lin chuckled in glee as he watched the skeletal fists smashing down at his face. At this moment, even the fists of the skeletal monstrosities appeared soft and gentle…
Tina was momentarily dazed as she arrived before the dense field of Realm Essence Crystals. The reflections of their dazzling colors gleamed in her eyes. However, she quickly composed herself and dashed toward the golden Realm Essence Crystals!
She didn’t forget what An Lin had told her. Harvesting those three golden Realm Essence Crystals was of utmost importance.
After sprinting for what seemed like eons, she finally arrived before the three golden Realm Essence Crystals. A victorious smile spread across her face as she gazed at the towering Realm Essence Crystals.
“Giant An Lin, I’ve succeeded… These three Holy Spirit Towers are ours!”
She took out her spatial bag and tried to place the golden Realm Essence Crystals into this bag.
The next instant, however, she fell deep into thought as she gazed at the towering Realm Essence Crystals.
She had discovered a harsh reality.
That was, she couldn’t channel her vital energy and use the powers within her body right now…
The Realm Essence Crystals before her were massive, and she wouldn’t be able to carry them herself!
Tina was a bit stupefied as she stared at the Golden Realm Essence Crystals, which were numerous times her height. She was completely stumped for ideas.
After a moment of hesitation, she decided to walk over anyway. She hugged a Realm Essence Crystal tightly and tried to lift it up.
Then, she realized that her strength was far too weak to complete this task. The Realm Essence Crystal was far too large for her to lift…
An Lin also noticed this problem, and his heart immediately sunk.
A feeling of grief and despair welled up inside him as he stared dazedly at the helpless Tina. At this moment, even the soft and powerless punches of the skeletons felt heavy and painful.
Tina didn’t give up. Instead, she slowly climbed up the Realm Essence Crystal. She discovered that the surfaces of the Realm Essence Crystals were a bit sticky, meaning she could use this feature to hang on and climb up.
After reaching the top, she opened up her spatial bag and slipped it over the tip of the Realm Essence Crystal.
Whoosh!
The spatial bag was like a ravenous black hole, and it continually swallowed the Realm Essence Crystal. In no time, it had successfully devoured a golden Realm Essence Crystal!
“Phew!” An Lin had paid close attention to Tina’s actions the entire time, and he almost whooped in joy upon seeing this sight. However, he managed to contain himself as a jubilant smile stretched across his face.
The unending punches of the skeletal monstrosities became soft and gentle once again.
Tina’s quick-wittedness and determination moved him greatly. He cheered loudly for her in his heart.
After ten or so minutes, the three golden Realm Essence Crystals had all been devoured by Tina’s spatial bag.
Now, it was time for Tina to do as she pleased. Anyhow, it was obvious that the most logical method was to start from her immediate surroundings and slowly work her way outward.
After a mighty struggle, Hong Dou finally managed to sit up on his haunches. Then, he slowly stood up while continuing to face the barrage of attacks from the skeletons. He was like a lofty and immovable mountain.
That’s right, he had already learned how to maintain his balance in the face of such ferocious attacks!
In this instance, a feeling of immense pride welled up in his heart. His fervent gaze swept toward the distant Realm Essence Crystals, and he chortled. “Hahaha… How can these mere skeletons defeat the mighty me?! The Realm Essence Crystals are all mine!”
However, his smile gradually vanished as his eyes focused on the dense field of Realm Essence Crystals.
“How come… Where are my golden Realm Essence Crystals?
“How come they’re all gone? F*cking bullsh*t!”
Hong Dou’s face was a picture of disbelief and incredulity. He rubbed his eyes, suspicious that the beating handed to him by the skeletons had caused him to hallucinate.
Right at this moment, however, a red Realm Essence Crystal started to vanish and disappear.
In terms of value, the red Realm Essence Crystals were only behind the golden Realm Essence Crystals. They were like dazzling red beauties amid a sea of thick foliage. The disappearance of such a red Realm Essence Crystal naturally couldn’t escape Hong Dou’s attention.
Then, he noticed the tiny body that he had overlooked the entire time.
He drew in a sharp breath. “It’s you?!” he exclaimed in shock. “It’s actually you?!”
As it turned out… he had already been overtaken by one person. That person became the first to reach the Realm Essence Crystals, and they became the biggest winner!
He was still too naive. After struggling with all his might to stand up, he didn’t expect to be greeted by such a cruel sight.
At this moment, the flames burning in Hong Dou’s chest seemed to become dimmer…
Yeah… This was just a race. As long as one tried their best, they would have the chance to overcome their difficulties; as long as one tried their best, they would have the chance to win. However, some people were completely unhindered by difficulties. How could one race against such people?
Upon hearing Hong Dou’s anguished screams, the two true demons also turned their gazes toward the Realm Essence Crystals before them. Then, the color drained from their faces and panic gripped at their hearts.
“Who would’ve thought that a fairy would beat us all to the punch!” Zhong Lixing had just crawled back up after a lengthy struggle, and a smile had barely surfaced on his face before his expression turned dark.
“The golden Realm Essence Crystals have all disappeared…” A pained expression spread across Kong Ge’s face.
“Don’t worry, we can still harvest some of the other Realm Essence Crystals!” While speaking, Zhong Lixing had a look of determination.
Just as he planned to push forward against the tide of attacks from the skeletal monstrosities, he suddenly felt something tug at his waist. It felt as though he had been latched onto by something.
Zhong Lixing looked down and found that a transparent white tentacle was wrapped around his waist.
“Why are you still hanging on to me…”
Right now, Ling Ying was being bitten by a pack of angry dog skeletons. “I’m too slow. Please drag me along…” she said with great difficulty.
Zhong Lixing clenched his jaws and walked forward slowly. However, he discovered that the resistance behind him was far greater than what he had initially anticipated. Not only did he have to drag Ling Ying along, he even had to drag along the pack of skeletal dogs, which were clinging onto her with their teeth…
“I want to curse someone!” Zhong Lixing was unable to contain his frustration any longer.
If this continued, how was he supposed to harvest any Realm Essence Crystals?!
Ling Ying swayed her tentacles. “Go on, curse me. I’m a jellyfish anyway.”
“You’re not human!” Kong Ge cursed angrily.
Zhong Lixing: “…”
Ling Ying: “…”
Kong Ge was momentarily dazed. She glowered at Ling Ying menacingly and corrected, “You’re not a jellyfish!”
This was cursing someone? It couldn’t be, right? It couldn’t count as cursing jellyfish either!
Zhong Lixing felt that anger had messed up Kong Ge’s brain. As a person who believed in actions over words, he couldn’t even be bothered cursing out aloud. Ripping this jellyfish to shreds could wait until they left this realm.
Just like that, the two true demons slowly inched forward against the torrent of attacks from the skeletal monstrosities. A large jellyfish slowly trailed behind them.
This difficult struggle left them feeling despair and hopelessness…
An Lin and Liu Chuchu had both overcome great difficulties and managed to stand back up. Relying on their sturdy Soul Formation Stage bodies, they walked into the skeletons’ attacks and did their best to maintain their balance as they pushed forward.
Meanwhile, Tina had already harvested all the golden and red Realm Essence Crystals…
Hong Dou bellowed in frustration as he struggled forward. His grief and agitation transformed into a soaring fighting will, and the flame in his chest started to burn with great intensity!
