I'm in Yellow Maple Valley, and I have one equipment slot!

Chapter 29: Cooperating to Kill the Enemy! First Division of Loot!

"Brother, I will avenge you—"

The young man from Tianque Fort shouted.

The voice was filled with grief and fervor.

It was as if they were truly going to fight to the death for their comrades.

But the next moment, his actions made this tragic declaration seem particularly ironic—he turned and ran without hesitation!

Without looking back, he went full speed ahead.

They were like frightened rabbits, wanting only to escape from Zhou Yuan, this god of death, as quickly as possible.

"Where do you think you're going!"

Han Li was both shocked and anxious as he watched Zhou Yuan kill someone.

What surprised him was Zhou Yuan's terrifying strength, and what worried him was that if he didn't take action, his temporary ally might think he was too useless.

This can lead to self-deprecation, and they might even turn their backs on you.

His mind raced, and after gritting his teeth, he finally decided to use one of his most treasured talismans.

Han Li quickly pulled out a yellowish-brown talisman from his storage bag.

Runes flowed across its surface, and spiritual energy swirled around it.

Without hesitation, he activated the talisman and tossed it forward.

"go!"

The talisman transformed into a beam of yellow light in mid-air and shot towards the fleeing youth from Tianque Fortress.

The yellow light arrived first, instantly catching up with its target. With a soft "snap," a transparent, earthen-yellow dome formed around the youth, resembling a cage, trapping him firmly inside!

It is a beginner-level advanced talisman—Earth Prison Technique!

This talisman is extremely effective at trapping enemies; once trapped, it is very difficult to escape in a short period of time.

"Damn it!" The young man was covered, his face turned pale instantly, and he was covered in cold sweat.

He quickly brandished a pair of oddly shaped short blades and frantically slashed at the yellowish-brown light shield.

"Clang clang clang!"

Sparks flew everywhere, the light shield vibrated violently, rippling outwards, but there was no sign of it breaking.

It definitely won't break through in a short time!

What made him feel most desperate was that the two people from Yellow Maple Valley had quickly closed the distance.

This time.

The young man dared not break the barrier with all his might—although he was trapped inside, it was at least a layer of defense, which was safer than being directly exposed to the opponent's attack.

He stopped his slashing motion, watching the two approaching figures warily, his mind racing as he considered how to escape.

"You're quite clever—" Zhou Yuan chuckled upon seeing this, his tone tinged with mockery.

This young man was clearly experienced and knew how to find a glimmer of hope in a desperate situation.

However, in the face of an absolute difference in strength, such clever tricks are of little use.

"Junior Brother Han, since you've trapped this person, I'll leave him to you—I'll go retrieve his storage bag first—"

Zhou Yuan simply ignored this place, turned around and walked dozens of feet away to the corpse of the big man from Spirit Beast Mountain.

The burly man died a gruesome death; his brow, throat, heart, and other vital organs were pierced by the golden sword, and his blood soaked the gray-black rocks beneath him.

The pangolin monster and the emerald green flying snake also lay not far away, completely lifeless.

Zhou Yuan bent down expressionlessly, first putting away the pair of black maces and the broken earthen-yellow shield, and then taking the three storage bags from the big man's waist.

Zhou Yuan put away the storage bag and walked to the pangolin monster and the flying snake corpses, intending to dismember some of the valuable parts.

Although these items may not be of very high value, they add up to a considerable amount of income.

After doing all this, he turned to look at Han Li.

Han Li stood about five zhang outside the earthen prison, his brows furrowed, clearly contemplating how to kill the young man from Tianque Fortress.

If you use ordinary spells to attack, the opponent is protected by a light shield, making it difficult to kill them in one hit;

Using magical artifacts to attack head-on is risky because it takes too long, and it might attract other people, which would be troublesome.

After much deliberation, a resolute glint flashed in Han Li's eyes.

He decided to use his trump card—a golden talisman brick!

When I bought this treasure from Wanbaoge, the shopkeeper had mentioned it.

This treasure is enormous and incredibly powerful when unleashed, making it perfect for breaking through defenses.

It shouldn't be difficult to break this earthen prison spell.

Han Li took a deep breath and carefully took out a talisman that shimmered with a faint golden light from his storage bag.

He formed hand seals and chanted incantations, slowly channeling his magical power into the talisman.

The next moment, golden light shone brightly from Han Li's hand, and a golden rectangular object slowly rose from the talisman and floated in mid-air.

The soaring spiritual energy comes from this object!

The talisman's aura spread out, and even Zhou Yuan, who was dozens of feet away, could feel its heart-palpitating power.

"It's actually a talisman!"

Inside the earthen prison, the young man from Tianque Fortress's expression changed drastically, and he screamed in fear.

He was knowledgeable and experienced, and recognized the origin of the gold brick at a glance, which made him feel a chill in his heart.

Fu Bao!

That is a treasure that only Core Formation cultivators can refine. Although its power is only one-tenth that of magic treasures, it is still an unstoppable weapon for Qi Refining cultivators!

"It's over————"

The young man's eyes were filled with despair.

He knew that he was probably going to die here today.

At this moment, Han Li had no way to express his bitterness.

He regretted it immediately after he used it!

Because this talisman is frantically absorbing his magical power, and it can't stop!

He originally thought that with his Qi Refining eleventh level cultivation, activating the talisman should be barely enough, but the actual consumption far exceeded his expectations.

In just a few breaths, nearly two-thirds of his magical power was drained!

Han Li's face turned pale, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He secretly groaned inwardly.

He subconsciously glanced at Zhou Yuan in the distance and found that Zhou Yuan was still forty feet away, not moving, just quietly watching this side, seemingly not intending to take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack. Only then did he feel slightly relieved.

Although the two had just formed a team and swore an oath, Han Li remained extremely wary of Zhou Yuan.

This wasn't directed at Zhou Yuan personally, but rather at his cautious nature and the difficulty in fully trusting anyone.

Just when Han Li felt he was about to give up, the talisman finally stopped absorbing magic power.

The golden bricks in the sky grew larger with the wind, and in the blink of an eye, they became as big as a house!

The surface of the gold brick was surrounded by spiritual energy, radiating golden light and exuding a terrifying pressure, even making the surrounding air viscous.

"fall!"

Han Li gave a low shout and reached out to press down.

The enormous golden brick, carrying the force of a thunderbolt, crashed down!

The target was the earthen prison magic shield that trapped the youth of Tianque Fortress.

"No--!"

The young man let out a desperate scream, desperately activating all his defensive measures, but in the face of that enormous gold brick, everything seemed so insignificant.

"BOOM!!!"

A deafening roar.

The ground shook violently, and smoke and dust billowed into the sky.

When the smoke and dust cleared, a huge pit, several feet deep, was revealed on the spot, and the earth prison spell's protective barrier had long since disappeared.

The Tianque Fortress cultivator, along with the rock beneath him, was smashed into a mangled mess of flesh and blood.

Dead beyond dead.

Han Li, panting heavily and pale-faced, retracted the talisman.

The golden brick quickly shrank, transforming into a beam of golden light that flew back into his hand, becoming a talisman once more. However, the light on it had dimmed considerably, indicating that it had consumed a great deal of its power.

"Junior Brother Han, you have impressive skills!"

Zhou Yuan walked over from a distance, his tone calm, revealing little emotion.

He had witnessed the entire process and gained a clearer understanding of Han Li's strength and decisiveness.

This person is not only cautious but also decisive in crucial moments, and has many trump cards up their sleeve, making them a truly good ally.

Han Li did not respond immediately. Instead, he quickly took out a mid-grade spirit stone from his storage bag, held it in his hand, and frantically absorbed the spiritual energy within it to restore his nearly depleted mana.

While recovering, he secretly observed Zhou Yuan's reaction.

Seeing that Zhou Yuan did not take advantage of his weakness, he felt somewhat relieved, but remained vigilant.

"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Senior Brother Zhou." Han Li forced a smile. "Although this talisman is very powerful, it also consumes a lot of energy. I wouldn't dare to use it lightly unless absolutely necessary."

Zhou Yuan smiled but didn't say anything more.

He naturally noticed Han Li's caution and wariness, but that was normal.

If it were him, he wouldn't be able to completely trust a "teammate" he had only recently met and whose strength was so terrifying.

At the same time, Zhou Yuan also became more acutely aware of his "perpetual motion machine" advantage—

While others fear the depletion of their mana and need time to recover, he was equipped with three mid-grade spirit stones, making his mana recovery speed astonishingly fast.

In the battle just now, he instantly used the Golden Armor Technique and the Golden Sword Technique, which looked impressive, but in fact, the consumption was not too great.

With the continued restoration from the three mid-grade spirit stones, his mana was now fully restored, and he was at his peak condition.

This advantage will be fully demonstrated in a protracted war.

"We shouldn't stay here any longer. Let's pack up and leave as soon as possible," Zhou Yuan reminded them.

Han Li nodded in agreement.

The battle just now was quite loud.

The loud thud of the golden brick hitting the ground probably carried far and wide, and may have already attracted the attention of nearby cultivators. We must leave as soon as possible!
