Lex gave Wild Bear a golden shield, then he went off happily . Even the two grand swordmasters could not toss a javelin and cause effective lethality from a distance of more than one-hundred yards . Wild Bear's divine strength might be inferior to that of Sika's, but he was already considered special among other humans .
Jola could achieve such a feat as well, but Lex would never allow Saleen's subordinates to go into a battle first . Jola was more effective against a team of people after all .
"I thought that such a setting only existed in books . " Saleen had a lingering fear . It was not really possible for a spatial passageway to appear in a person's body, it would only exist in air . If a spatial passageway appeared around a person's body, it would be fairly dangerous . This was a unidirectional passageway without any elemental vibrations whatsoever, if some scary creature appeared suddenly, one would not even be able to react in time .
"There is a chance this might happen . The materials in that Sindika's body are exceptionally precious . Do you know, even a person like Joey would not be able to enter the abyssal plane?"
Saleen laughed, then said, "Don't worry about me, I will regard this as a hunt . There is an assortment of strong and weak creatures . The strong ones would be like the Sindika . After passing through a narrow spatial passageway, it is already exhausted by the time it arrives on the Myers mainland . The weak ones would be like that magic bug . "
Saleen pointed out the window, as the magic bug had been squashed into a pulp by Wild Bear's skeletal warhorse .
A skeletal warhorse was of a higher grade than a skeletal soldier, but it was merely a grade-3 creature . A few swordsmen could deal with it . The magic bug which got trampled on by the skeletal warhorse had pathetic speed and poor defense .
"It is indeed a pretty good hunting ground . No matter what direction we travel in, we will not be able to leave . We can only wait for the chaotic space to disappear . " Lex glanced at the sky once more . It was gray and dull, and the sun was nowhere to be seen .
Sika looked at the Sindika in a dismal way . She had met yet another creature which she could not defeat, she was definitely weaker than the Sindika . The Sindika was about fifty yards in height, as tall as a nine story magical tower . If Sika's cudgel transformed into its second form, it could only break the Sindika's surface flesh . It would not be able to hurt its muscles and bones .
The surface area of the Sindika's body was too huge, and he had immense explosive power . No human could withstand his attacks .

Humans possessed equipment however . Wild Bear dashed for over two-hundred yards . After securing the golden shield, he then removed the twelve pole javelins from his back . The head of this kind of javelin was crafted from stainless steel and sharpened by scrap crystals, while the edge was filled with a variety of crystals . As for the shield, Wild Bear only wanted to obtain a higher grade one from Lex . It would be impossible to use it to resist the Sindika's attack .
Since the hardness of a crystal was extremely high, the biggest advantage of a crystal was that it could be used to help the javelin penetrate an elemental shield .
After accelerating for the last two-hundred yards, the skeletal warhorse was now traveling faster than a mage blessed with the Windspeed Skill . Wild Bear's equestrianism was average, but the skeletal warhorse itself had outstanding speed . Tapping in on the sprinting force of the warhorse, Wild Bear tossed three javelins simultaneously . His thick hand was abnormally agile, as he swiftly removed another three javelins from his back .
The javelins flew towards the Sindika, producing sounds of air bursting .
The Sindika felt very melancholic . If he was not injured, he could easily destroy those javelins by launching a simple spell . Now that he had lost all magic, he could only resist them using his physical body .
He felt regretful of following the Mechanical Soul . When the Mechanical Soul escaped, he should have seized the opportunity to flee, and not pursue it in hopes of getting some benefits by devouring those humans . That tiny human was extremely sly by attacking from over a hundred yards away, making him unable to retaliate .
Wild Bear launched consecutive assaults, tossing all twelve javelins .
The bulky body of the Sindika wriggled a little, causing huge amounts of blood to gush out . More than twenty gigantic scales grew out of its muscles swiftly . Wild Bear's javelins pierced in ferociously, getting stuck in those scales .
The scales were about one foot thick . Wild Bear's javelins could penetrate those scales because they were newly grown, their toughness was still inadequate . Be that as it may, Wild Bear's strength was also part of it .
The javelins stabbed the Sindika's body, giving off humming noises . The sharp blades of the javelins had been sharpened by crystals before, but the sharpening was only confined to the blade, the other portions were only made from stainless steel . The blood of the Sindika possessed great corrosiveness, so it swiftly eroded Wild Bear's javelins .
Twelve javelins crashed to the ground, as Wild Bear turned around and fled .

Nailisi narrowed her eyes, then told Saleen, "Master, look, the blood cannot corrode the black sand . "
Saleen took a glance . Indeed, the blood which landed on the ground did not corrode the surrounding black sand, even though the corrosiveness of the Sindika's blood was even stronger than that of a demon .
The black sand surely had some special attributes . Saleen glanced at Lex, then Lex said, "Let's take care of this creature first, then we can collect the sand . "
She also knew that such sand might only be present in a chaotic space . If all the black sand in the Purgatory Desert behaved in this manner, it was likely that humans would have entered the desert in a frenzy and collected it .
The effects of this black sand on equipment refinement was not clear yet . There were many materials which were resistant to corrosion after all . If a material was used to construct a military installation, then it would take on a whole new life .
Many spells contained strong corrosive abilities, especially area spells . Mages rarely took part in invasions, but if they did, they would definitely use such spells to destroy the walls of a city . If a city's walls were made with this black sand, then there would be an additional defensive attribute to them .
Lex's God's Ring was a godly equipment, it had no problems storing an infinite number of items . Saleen would definitely have to calculate how much black sand his Dimension Stone could carry though . Even though the space in a Dimension Stone was huge, it was still finite .
Wild Bear ran back, he did not dare get close to the Sindika . The Sindika also did not dare pursue Wild Bear, as Wild Bear had too many tricks up his sleeve . The Sindika could only use his body to battle, so he had no confidence .
As a result, Saleen and the rest witnessed a strange scene unfold before them . As Wild Bear rode on horseback escaping, the Sindika twisted its plump body around, trying to flee in the opposite direction .
"Do we chase?" Saleen asked, because the direction the Sindika was escaping was into the area of rainfall . It was highly likely that an astronomical number of fish beasts had appeared in the area of rainfall .

"Let's observe further . " Lex alighted from the chariot, before taking out dozens of pieces of alchemical equipment for the swordmasters to assemble . The equipment turned out to be a large alchemical crossbow .
This alchemical crossbow had a width of about eight yards . Even with the effect of a magic array and the gears, a skeletal warhorse was still needed to pull the bowstring . After the large alchemical crossbow was put in place, another black hole had appeared in the vicinity . This time around, a fish with flames covering its body emerged from the hole .
Despite having read countless books in the past, Lex and Saleen still could not identify which plane the fish originated from .
No one really cared though .
A swordmaster raised his hand, about to fire an arrow using his miniature alchemical crossbow . The arrows Lex had given them were all sharpened with crystals . This arrow made the flaming fish explode, causing flames to spill across the ground .
"Ah ha! Cuisi, you guys go attack . "
Noticing that the flaming fish was so weak, Nailisi deployed the four demons who had yet to board the chariot . The reason was simple . When the flaming fish exploded, a shiny magic nucleus also fell into the dust at the same time . There were more flaming fish charging out of that passageway .
Judging by the size and purity of that magic nucleus, it was definitely at an intermediate level . The flaming fish was at least a grade-4 creature . After passing through the passageway, their powers were reduced, so Lex's swordmaster could kill them easily .
Lex simply cackled, she did not try to compete with Nailisi, because the arrows used by the swordmasters were quite costly . Lex also had noticed that the alchemical arrow itself had become charred after exploding the flaming fish and the arrow head was completely destroyed . Even if this alchemical arrow was shot into steel, it could still be plucked out for reuse, otherwise Lex would not be so willing to produce them in large quantities .
The four demons lunged at the black hole, stopping near it, then they took out their own weapons . Cuisi's whip was curled near the opening of the hole, pulling out a flaming fish . The other three demons flogged this fish using their weapons, causing it to explode .
Even if the power of these flaming fish was not decreased, they still would not be able to match up to the four demons . The diameter of this black hole expanded gradually, while the flaming fish which emerged became increasingly stronger . In the end, the flaming fish which Cuisi drew out had a length of over four yards, and the consequent magic nucleus which dropped out was already that of level-6 .
Nailisi decided to exit the chariot, she came beside the four demons and began collecting the magic nuclei . Other than a magic nucleus, the resultant flames from the explosion also yielded pieces of hard objects . They were like bones and metals .
Five-hundred yards away, another black hole appeared in mid-air . This hole only had a diameter of about one yard, and a large snake dozen of yards long slithered out . After this snake emerged, it began shedding its skin .
"Eh? A creature from the subcontinent plane!" Lex was extremely astonished . The spatial passageways appearing in this chaotic space were so complicated, they could connect to any planes . The subcontinent plane referred to a place which resembled the Myers mainland, just that this plane was smaller, and had more than one kind of intelligent species .
There were humans on the subcontinent plane too . When humans from the Myers mainland first arrived on the subcontinent plane, they found that the humans there were really weak and small . Without giving much thought, they called this place the subcontinent place, which meant that it was a place inferior to the Myers mainland .
On the subcontinent plane, humans were not the masters . All kinds of intelligent creatures were gathered on one plane, depending on each other for survival . The magic beasts on the subcontinent plane were very mighty . Long ago, humans from the Myers mainland loved to go there for hunting trips . High grade magic beasts were everywhere, they could not be wiped out . As a result, the subcontinent plane became a good location for humans to obtain high level magic nuclei .
A human youth suddenly emerged from this same black hole . This human was clad in exquisite silver armor and wielded a short sword . He was obviously very fatigued after coming out from the black hole as he simply fell to the ground . Seeing that there was a giant snake shedding its skin up ahead, he was actually helpless .
Nailisi saw an opportunity to take advantage of the situation . That giant snake could be a high grade magic beast, and it was extremely frail at the moment . With a stride covering dozens of yards, Nailisi had appeared behind the snake in the blink of an eye . With a dagger in hand, Nailisi stabbed the side of the snake's body .
That youth who emerged from the black hole hollered . Nailisi could tell that he meant no harm, he was simply reminding her to be careful . Nailisi turned around and smiled at the youth, then she raised her Dragon's Tooth Dagger .
When that youth saw Nailisi's smile, he was momentarily stunned .
Nailisi did not wear any armor, she only wore a fitting soft armor which Saleen crafted specially for her . On the outside, she was dressed in a style similar to her original one . She wore a long dress, with the only additional accessory being the pair of boots which had been made from a dragon's muscles and skin .
Nailisi's smile was extremely captivating . The youth immediately forgot about the present danger as his mind had went into a flurry .
