Chapter 252 - 252 Divine Beast—Taotie
252 Divine Beast—Taotie
Zhou Han nodded in satisfaction and continued.
“Now explain the location of the fragment. Don’t play tricks!”
Facing Zhou Han’s warning, Soul Glutton’s eyes flickered. No one knew what he was brewing.
“There’s a blood-red jade box above your head. The Honorable Soul Banner Fragment is preserved inside.” Soul Glutton said expressionlessly.
Zhou Han looked up.
The roof of the cave was hundreds of meters high, it was very flat and depicted a huge dire beast.
It was somewhat similar to the Soul Glutton.
It was vivid and lifelike.
It was quite imposing.
After staring for a few seconds, only then did Zhou Han realize that something was wrong.
“This guy really knows how to hide things!”
The jade box that Soul Glutton mentioned was actually embedded in the pupil of the beast image.
The blood-red jade box shone with the pupils of the scarlet dire beast.
It was also because Zhou Han’s senses were sharp that he sensed it.
Otherwise, he would not have discovered it at all.
This was why everyone had searched the cave and found no clues.
“Take off the jade box and hand it to me first!”
Zhou Han pointed at the Soul Glutton and ordered.
After all, he was an expert from ancient times. He had to be wary.
Zhou Han was not so arrogant as to be invincible.
He was worried that Soul Glutton had other methods.
He naturally had to be careful.
Although Zhou Han could see the attribute data of the Soul Glutton, including skills, Dharma treasures, and so on, items that were not on it or items that it was not wearing could not be seen.
Soul Glutton didn’t say anything and nodded.
When he turned around, a vicious smile flashed across his face.
Soon, calm returned.
It turned into a huge blood-red hand.
He plucked the jade box off.
“Can I go now?” Soul Glutton said, his expression pleading.
“Open the jade box first. Don’t play tricks. Hand the fragment of the Honorable Soul Banner to me.”
Zhou Han stared at the Soul Glutton, wanting to see something from his expression.
However, he did not find anything unusual.
“Why, don’t you have this bit of courage?” Soul Glutton muttered softly.
The jade box slowly opened.
“Brother Zhou, be careful of the Soul Glutton!”
Zhao Xin hurriedly reminded him. He felt an uncomfortable feeling in his soul.
In a flash, a dark light shot out.
There was a soul-pulling force surging.
The Dragon Spear Sect disciples were shocked.
However, Zhou Han smiled.
Regarding the aura of this ghostly light, others might not be able to sense it but Zhou Han, who had three fragments of the Honorable Soul Banner, was naturally extremely familiar with it.
What else could it be but a fragment of the Honorable Soul Banner?
“Take it!”
After taking out the fragment, the Soul Glutton threw it over.
Zhou Han condensed the wind and grabbed the fragment.
However, Zhou Han’s expression instantly changed drastically.
Boom!
As soon as they made contact, a shocking explosion sounded.
Above his head, the huge image of a dire beast appeared as if it had been resurrected.
Then, an unprecedented huge suction force enveloped Zhou Han.
“What’s—”
“There’s indeed something strange about the fragment! What a sinister scheme!”
“Zhou Han didn’t even touch the fragment with his hand, but he was actually devoured?”
…
Everyone’s expressions changed drastically.
Although they did not know what this dire beast was, the vast aura it emitted was far beyond the Soul Glutton.
It actually followed the wind elemental power released by Zhou Han and scuttled over.
They were too close.
Zhou Han did not react at all.
Countless tentacle-like things wrapped around him.
It was almost impossible to break free in a short period of time with such immense strength.
“Power! Submit to me! Gluttony Power!”
A simple and old voice sounded.
It was filled with endless dignity.
[Warning: You are controlled by the divine beast, Taotie. As you are in a controlled state,]
[All your items and skills below the Supreme-grade have lost their effect.]
[You were attacked by the power of the divine beast, Taotie.]
Zhou Han’s expression changed.
The power of a divine beast was indeed worthy of its reputation.
Even worse was that he was now under control.
Even items and skills below the Supreme-grade could not be used.
The energy in his body was quickly draining.
Soon, the prompt information kept scrolling across the panel.
[The Divine Beast ‘Taotie’ devoured 10,000 of your HP. You have permanently lost 10,000 HP.]
[The Divine Beast ‘Taotie’ devoured 10,000 of your HP. You have permanently lost 10,000 HP.]
[The Divine Beast ‘Taotie’ devoured 10,000 of your HP. You have permanently lost 10,000 HP.]
[The Divine Beast ‘Taotie’ devoured 10,000 of your HP. You have permanently lost 10,000 HP.]
…
[The Divine Beast, Taotie, has devoured 5,000 of your attack power. You have permanently lost 5,000 attack power.]
[The Divine Beast, Taotie, has devoured 5,000 of your attack power. You have permanently lost 5,000 attack power.]
[The Divine Beast, Taotie, has devoured 5,000 of your attack power. You have permanently lost 5,000 attack power.]
[The Divine Beast, Taotie, has devoured 5,000 of your attack power. You have permanently lost 5,000 attack power.]
…
“Permanently lost?”
“Damn, what’s going on?” Zhou Han was shocked.
His health and attack power were devoured.
That was not all.
Almost at the same time, the notification that his defense had been devoured kept coming out.
He opened the attribute panel.
As expected, he discovered three basic attribute data: HP, Attack, and Defense.
On the interface, not only did it decrease, but a huge feeling of weakness came from his body.
It was as if he had fought with Xi Yao again.
His body was instantly emptied.
“How cautious of you! But you still fell for it. Do you think you’ll be fine without physical contact?”
“Heh! You don’t understand the power of my Taotie Race at all!”
“Whether it’s your aura or your strength, as long as you come into contact with Taotie, you will face a crazy devouring.”
“Hahaha, how does it feel to be swallowed by the Taotie? Do you feel very sour? Soon, you’ll be sucked dry.”
At this moment, Soul Glutton revealed a bloodthirsty smile. He was very smug. His cold voice sentenced Zhou Han to death.
There was no longer any fear.
So he had disguised all of this.
After he was severely injured by Zhou Han, he had already begun to set up.
He was worried that he would expose his trump card early and not be able to attack Zhou Han effectively.
After all, he knew Zhou Han’s strength.
When the Taotie Soul Body attacked, even if Zhou Han could not defeat it, he could still escape by force.
That was why it had been enduring and choosing to attack at close range. Only then would it be foolproof and hit.
In the end, the plan went smoothly.
Zhou Han was successfully controlled.
“Immortal Binding Rope!” Zhou Han roared. He had to do something and not wait for death.
