Chapter 1558: Chapter 1396: The Old Woman Shows Her Power (Two in One)_2
"Swoosh!"
Not even Uncle Yu, protected by the Fire God, could escape the fate of petrification; he turned into a stone and fell straight to the ground. The pursuing black tigers behind him were also affected, transforming into stone statues and smashing down onto the ground.
However, these three monster chests were special monsters, utterly indifferent to petrification abilities. The golden chest monster rushed to Uncle Yu and, without even a chew, swallowed him whole like popping a cherry.
"What the heck, this works too?"
Su Ran was dumbfounded. He couldn’t have imagined that the attacking manner of the chest monsters was so domineering; those sharp teeth were almost just for show...
The unlucky black tigers didn’t escape their fate of being devoured either. The two silver chest monsters swallowed one each, neat and clean, without a single flaw.
This scene not only left Su Ran dumbfounded, but even the NPCs who were watching couldn’t believe it was real. The impressive Uncle Yu just died in such a confused mess?
It was way too dramatic!
However, things couldn’t be that simple. If these chest monsters were really that awesome, it would totally break the game’s balance. How would players even play?
As expected, in the next moment, the three chest monsters exhibited symptoms of digestive troubles; stomach cramps and bloating abounded, and the prey inside the chests was giving them a rough time, even distorting the shape of the chests. Su Ran could tell that this was a critical moment – whether the chests could digest successfully was a matter of a single hammer sale.
Su Ran really wanted to log off and buy some digestive tablets for these chest monsters, to prevent Uncle Yu from clinging to hope...
"Human warrior, you’ve done well this time!"
At some unknown point, the old crone had re-entered the stage and quickly darted towards the location of the golden chest monster.
Well?
Well, your sister!
This woman’s cheek was too thick, not staying quietly in the room; coming out three times in a row. The first time was rebutted by the buddy, the second time by Uncle Yu, and she’s still not giving up, coming out again. What, seeing the promise of profit, she plans to grab a share?
Shameless!
Pah!
However, the next scene made Su Ran’s eyes widen in disbelief; all the mocking thoughts vanished in an instant. He realized that the real wolf in sheep’s clothing was this so-called thick-skinned old crone!
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
The old crone hovered above the chest monsters, waved her hand, and all three chest monsters responded by rising up and transforming into three beams of light attaching to her body, forming a piece of contiguous armor. The gold and silver light was dazzling, and it significantly elevated the old crone’s image in an instant, as if she had become a different person entirely because truly, clothes make the man, and this saying wasn’t wrong at all!
After escaping the confines of the chest monsters, the pathetic figure of Uncle Yu was revealed, as were the two unlucky black tigers. Threatened by the old crone, they desperately fled behind the Extinct Tiger King, where they found a semblance of safety.
"Where’s my Fire God power? This can’t be!"
Uncle Yu, having regained his freedom, saw that the flames engulfing his body were already gone, and he was back to his commoner status. Unwilling to accept this reality, he frantically groped about his body and then his complexion drastically changed, "Where is my Fire God token? You despicable fortune-teller, taking advantage when I’m down!"
"This was originally mine to begin with. For me to take it back is completely justified. You, on the other hand, are the real thief who stole the Fire God token!"
In the old crone’s hand appeared a fiery red token; she stared coldly at Uncle Yu, her eyes devoid of warmth, "Everything comes with a price. To steal the Fire God token is a capital offense!" fгeewebnovёl.com
"No, the Fire God token was rightfully mine to begin with! It was you, you evil woman, who deprived me of my opportunity. Give me back the Fire God token!"
Uncle Yu, as if driven mad, didn’t care if he was a match for the old crone or not, lunged at her and roared, "Die!!!"
"Hmph, deep-rooted demonic core, beyond redemption!"
The elderly woman flicked her arm, and a surge of aggressive flames quickly took shape, bombarding Uncle Yu’s body with terrifying damage, blasting him to the ground and creating a deep crater.
"Return my Fire God token, give it back!"
Uncle Yu climbed out of the pit, completely ignoring his injuries, and continued to charge towards the old woman. At this moment, he was utterly possessed by madness, with only the Fire God token in the old woman’s hand in his eyes.
"Do you really think I wouldn’t dare to kill you?"
The elderly woman also became enraged, her furious expression emerging as she summoned a red-to-purple fireball aimed straight at Uncle Yu’s heart. Undoubtedly, this move would leave Uncle Yu severely injured if not dead!
"Boom!"
An explosion sound erupted, and Uncle Yu was sent flying once again, but this time he did not get up. He lay there, stiff on the ground, his life and death unknown.
Su Ran witnessed all of this and had long thrown away his prejudice against the elderly woman. He realized that this old lady might be the biggest boss in Fire God City, and possibly the Fire God hidden behind the scenes!
Who decreed that the Fire God must be male?
"Appearances can be deceiving," as the saying goes.
If this old woman truly is the Fire God, then what a deep schemer she is, possessing a rare form of forbearance!
In that instant, all the experiences within the Fire God Trial Space replayed in Su Ran’s mind. The old woman’s demon-like divination abilities, and the moment he touched the stone forest, the three treasure chests appeared by themselves—it was all manipulated by the old woman. Before, Su Ran was doubting his own luck; his character was certainly not good enough to get such benefits from the system, but now, it all made sense.
No wonder the defenses of those treasure chest creatures were so astonishing. This was the Fire God’s personal equipment; how could Uncle Yu hope to penetrate such defense?
Even with the possession of the Fire God token, it would be impossible!
And the scene of the treasure chest creatures gnawing on the buildings was definitely the old woman’s deliberate instigation, setting up a grand chess game to achieve her goal!
He had thought that by not accepting the old woman’s quest, he could escape her calculations. But unexpectedly, he had been her pawn without even realizing it, which was truly frustrating!
If he had known this, he would have been better off accepting the quest honestly—perhaps he could have even snagged some rewards, or at least some consolation prize...
The more Su Ran analyzed, the more he felt that the old woman was the Fire God. He did not harbor any good impression of her and worried she might take severe action against him next, so it seemed safer to maintain a certain distance first...
With this thought, Su Ran quietly directed Wang Cai to slip towards the rear of the crowd, feeling relieved only after escaping the old woman’s range of hatred. With trepidation, he watched her, eager to know what this woman would do next.
"Stop playing dead, get up now. Did you think I wouldn’t discover your trick?"
The old woman eyed Uncle Yu’s body and coldly scolded, "You had the guts to come to Fire God City, but not the guts to show your face? Must you resort to such despicable means? After so many tens of thousands of years, how have you regressed?!"
"Interesting, I’ve hidden myself so deeply, yet how did you discover me?"
The previously still figure of Uncle Yu slowly stood up, and to everyone’s surprise, this supposed ’Uncle Yu’ transformed into a completely different appearance. Even those familiar with him would not recognize him as Uncle Yu.
"Shadow Heart Demon, have you forgotten my divination abilities? No matter where you hide, as long as there’s a thread of karma between us, I can root you out!"
When it came to divination, the old woman was incredibly confident, her tone of voice becoming particularly firm.
"Heh, I underestimated you. The name of Divine Calculator truly isn’t for nothing. However, you also know very well that capturing me, the Shadow Heart Demon, is simply a wishful thinking on your part!"
After speaking, the Shadow Heart Demon transformed into a trail of gray mist and fled into the distance, mockingly provoking the old woman, "Haha, you’ve got me today, soothsayer. If you’re capable, come chase after me!"
"Thinking you can escape my domain? Dream on!"
A ruthless glint passed through the old woman’s eyes as she lifted the token in her hand, ablaze with fiery flames, and bellowed, "Fire Realm Seal, come forth!"
