Chapter 854: Stealing the Chests
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Roar!
The creatures were awoken from their daze . Han Sen didn't know which monster began roaring first, but after that roar, they all began rushing to the peak .
Every creature ravenously raced towards the gold light . Each and every creature there had an insatiable appetite for the golden fruit borne by the Jade-Gold Tree .
The energy that consumed the mountain top was like a fountain, and it seemed to energize every creature that walked upon its slopes .
Gritting his teeth, the Devil-Blood King now rushed up the mountain and into Moment Shelter . He had come to a decision, and that decision was to not give up on the potential treasure that resided within .
Unlike the rest, Han Sen was still quite hesitant . He felt as if something bad was still going to happen, so he hadn't sent word for Wang Yuhang to come .
Han Sen summoned Moment Queen again and asked her, "Observe the situation there and report back to me . "
Moment Queen did as she was commanded and went up . At the peak, she was able to see the energy that consumed the area . She told Han Sen, "An energy burst like this would suggest something good is being born . "
"Hmm, perhaps we should go take a look . " Han Sen nodded, but still decided against giving Wang Yuhang the signal . Stroking the silver fox's head, he let Moment Queen lead their way up towards the golden light .
He traveled through the mist towards Moment Shelter, a place he had come to be both fond of and familiar with . There were no visible changes, from what he could initially tell . All he could see was that the tree had grown to be about one hundred feet tall . It basked in a holy presence, and the chests beamed with gold light .
Han Sen, seeing those six chests, was shocked . Before, they looked fairly ordinary . Now, they looked different . All six of the golden chest fruits were of different sizes, and they were all shaped differently .
The combined light of the chests was so bright that looking towards them was difficult . But still, each golden chest emanated with a certain scary energy .
The crane he had seen before screamed . It flew past Han Sen's head and collected the golden chest that was the furthest from the ground, and then flew away with it .
The big dragon and a four-winged beast quickly flew forward to stop the crane and retrieve the chest .
The creatures, seeing the crane grab one of the chests to no ill repercussions, began rushing towards the tree in the hope of nabbing the rest .
The Devil-Blood King brought the silver ape with him to grab a golden chest . After retrieving one, they looked to take another .
Within fifteen minutes, the six golden chests had found new masters . Han Sen was too far away, and due to his initial hesitation, he was unable to procure one for himself .
But this was just the beginning, for even if he did get a chest, escaping the ire of the surrounding creatures would be a bigger challenge by far .
The shelter was in utter chaos, as creatures battled for ultimate possession of the chests . The sounds of combat, the screeches and the roars, it was all deafening .
There was fire, toxic mists, and thunder being cast out, all into one dangerous melting pot of anarchy . It was fortunate Moment Shelter was tough, because otherwise, it would've been reduced to nothing but rubble .
"Should we join the battle and attempt to procure a chest for ourselves?" Moment Queen asked .
"We should wait a little longer . " Han Sen was not yet ready to strike . He stared at the Devil-Blood King, who had managed to acquire two chests and was still not satisfied . Leading his pets, he went to try and steal another .
Han Sen had fought him once before, but he had yet to determine what his true strength actually was . Amidst this raging battle, Han Sen believed he'd be able to accurately gauge that strength through observation .
After a while, Han Sen smiled . He could now tell exactly how the Devil-Blood King was able to close the gap and eliminate the distance separating the two like he had in their previous fight .
The Devil-Blood King vanished from sight, and when he reappeared, he punched a super creature away and took its chest .
Han Sen saw this happen many times, and he was now positive the Devil-Blood King could not teleport: he traveled through shadows .
The Devil-Blood King had to stand in a shadow . When he was in a shadow, he could melt into the shadow and move freely within . It was as if he was traveling through another dimension . He could not get hit, nor could he be detected .
"Ah, that's why!" After managing to observe the Devil-Blood King's power, Han Sen felt relieved .
Although that shadow ability was effective, it was not unbreakable . He had to be in a dark shadow, not one that was faint . And to move efficiently, the shadows had to be connected .
All Han Sen would have to do was keep an eye on his shadow and not have it connect with anything else . If he did that, the Devil-Blood King could not warp around and would instead have to approach him like any other combatant .
But this shelter had many palaces, and thus many wide and strong shadows were cast . That gave the Devil-Blood King a big advantage, and he could practically travel freely with that skill . He had already taken three chests .
Because he had taken three gold chests, other creatures focused their attention on him now . But the silver ape was a valiant defender of its master, and it prevented anything else from getting near .
"I can't allow him to take everything . " Han Sen, seeing the Devil-Blood King become so greedy, became extra happy .
Han Sen was not going to focus on attacking the Devil-Blood King . Instead, he was going to focus on the big ape .
The silver ape was powerful, that much was clear . Its body was tough, and it was surprisingly quick for its size . It didn't possess elemental powers, but its physical attack strength was through the roof . Its nails could tear through a super creature's body with ease .
It was clear to Han Sen that other super creatures were unable to touch it . Regardless of what element hit it, the worst that happened was a faint scorch mark upon its fur . Nothing truly damaged it .
"If I kill that thing first, I rob the Devil-Blood King of its muscle," Han Sen said to himself, as he watched the violent, murderous ape .
There was another reason why Han Sen wanted to kill it . The ape was a second generation super creature, and he'd get a mighty reward for slaying it .
But the silver ape was too strong for a prolonged fight, so Han Sen tried to think of a way in which he could one-hit kill it .
After a bit of thinking, Han Sen noticed something strange after it slew a dragon with one swipe of its claws . Its invincibility may have been overstated .
Han Sen noticed it was strangely protective of its ears . Whenever a heavy attack came its way, it made sure to protect its ears above all else .
The ears looked like silver snails, and were about the size of eggs .
