Chapter 1113
Chapter 1113: Chapter 1116: Ambush_1 Chapter 1113: Chapter 1116: Ambush_1 The Snow Mountain Continent, located on the edge of the Star Sea, is flat and stretches for about three billion kilometers in length.
The nearest star to this region is roughly the same distance as the sun is from Pluto.
From the continent, that star just appears as a distant cluster of light, barely casting any illumination towards the land.
The temperature here remained around two hundred degrees below zero all year round.
The cold and darkness were the main themes of this place.
However, for the powerful deities, this was nothing.
Compared to other areas in a vacuum state, the presence of air and traces of sunlight here was almost like heaven.
…
Many forces had set up rallying points here, and conflicts between them occurred from time to time.
*********
On the edge of the continent, a middle-level god with silver horns atop his head descended from the sky.
Standing on the frozen ground, he cast his gaze on the two companions next to him.
He noted, “Strange, I can’t see that batch of Boundary Stones anymore.”
A tall, brawny man responded, “This is normal, Vieri, Boundary Stones are sentient creatures by nature.
They instinctively dodge dangers.
Once they sense someone is looking for them, they hide underground and move freely through the earth.
Given that you are looking from the sky, it’s surprising if you could see them.
Stop showing off your flying skills and search earnestly.
Su Shanna is still waiting.”
The brawny man wasn’t just tall, standing over three meters high.
He held a Thunder Lance in his hand, wearing golden armor, and looked like a god.
His Thunder Lance is a Lower Grade Weapon, but his golden armor is just Top Quality treasure, not yet reaching the level of a Sovereign Weapon.
The brawny man belonged to the Galaxy Beast species known as the Golden Armored Rhinoceros.
In human form, his golden armor and the horn could transform into weapons and armor.
The silver-horned middle-level god named Vieri belonged to the Super Star River Beast, the Silver Horned Python.
In addition to them, there was also a female middle-level god.
This middle-level god had snow-white skin and emerald-green eyes.
She was a special kind of Galaxy Beast, the Star Sky Phantom Butterfly.
The three of them formed a small team, currently seeking Boundary Stones.
Boundary Stones are quite popular objects.
They can be used to expand the God Realm and serve other purposes.
For example, this female middle-level god named Su Shanna.
Her unique skill was constructing realms, which required Boundary Stones for cultivation.
Moreover, donating Boundary Stones could earn quite decent Point Earnings.
One Boundary Stone equals one thousand points, which is more expensive than a Middle-Level God Crystal.
The treasure hunters of the Star Sea, if they didn’t find any good treasures in one trip, it would still be worth bringing back some Boundary Stones.
But harvesting Boundary Stones was not an easy task.
By nature, Boundary Stones are sentient and possess World Power, instinctively avoiding the presence of strangers, making them incredibly elusive.
The Silver Horned Python listened to the brawny man’s words and huffed coldly, “Yibu, all you do is talk nonsense.
If you know Boundary Stones are hard to find, why are you still standing around here?
It’d be faster if you went to look for them with me.”
“I’m staying back to protect Su Shanna, aren’t I?
There might be people from the Northern Alliance nearby.”
“Then I’ll protect Su Shanna, and you can go looking.”
After listening to their argument, Su Shanna couldn’t help but shake her head, “Both of you, enough is enough.
After spending millions of years together, you’re still arguing every day.
I’m sick of your constant squabbles.
I don’t need both of you to protect me.
Let’s search together.”
Vieri and Yibu, sensing Su Shanna’s irritated mood, did not speak more.
The group moved along the frozen ground, keeping their auras concealed while they searched for any signs of Boundary Stones.
After some investigation, Vieri’s eyes suddenly brightened.
He quickly communicated to his teammates via Dimensional Universe messaging, fearing that speaking out loud would alert the Boundary Stones that could escape by burrowing.
Within the Dimensional Universe, the three of them communicated and slowly closed in on a particular spot.
Having worked together for a long time, they understood each other well, quickly setting up a trap.
Once the trap was successfully set, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The Boundary Stones had not noticed their actions, signaling the mission was more than half accomplished.
Yibu exclaimed excitedly, “We did it!
There must be at least fifty Boundary Stones trap in this array, which can be exchanged for fifty thousand points.
Each of us can get over ten thousand points!”
Gaining more than ten thousand points in a day was a very high income.
Su Shanna’s green eyes sparkled with excitement and she nodded, “Yes, let’s get started quickly.
Once we’ve harvested this, I’ll have the money to exchange for a long-desired flying weapon.”
“Hahaha!
Su Shanna, once I’ve accumulated enough points, I’ll exchange them for a flying palace for you,” Yibu said loudly.
Vieri sneered, “Don’t dream too big, Yibu.
The depths of the Star Sea are too dangerous.
Ordinary spaceships can’t traverse it, so if you want to advance, you can only rely on flying weapons or flying palaces.
But even the cheapest flying palace starts at thirty million and the best cost over a billion.
Consider King Jialan’s exclusive flying palace, the ‘Imperial Heavenly Pavilion’, for example.
Sitting inside it, you could go anywhere in the Star Sea.
Nobody could destroy it unless the God has personally done it.
Do you think you can afford such a top-quality item?”
“If I can’t afford it, does that mean you can?
At least I dare to dream, and I dare to strive for Su Shanna, but what about you?
You’re nothing more than a blabbering idiotic snake.”
“And you’re just a simple-minded Barbarian Bull!”
“What did you say!”
This time, Su Shanna didn’t stop the two men’s argument.
They had known each other for too long, and such bickering was a means for them to dispel loneliness over their endless ages.
But this time, Su Shanna’s face turned pale.
Soon, Vieri and Yibu also felt that something was wrong.
The Star Sky Phantom Butterfly had sharp senses and was always the observer of the team.
She must have discovered something.
“Su Shanna, what happened?”
Su Shanna was silent, a pair of huge wings suddenly burst out from the back of her clothes, flapping a few times, spreading circles of light halos.
This was her unique method of scouting, which was extremely profound.
“Not good!”
“From the left front!
The right front, the left side!
There are people ambushing us in three directions!
They’re people from the Northern Alliance, they’re preparing to ambush us.”
“How many of them?” Yibu asked hastily.
Su Shanna’s face turned even paler, her voice trembling, “Seven!”
Upon hearing this, despair flooded Vieri and Yibu’s faces.
In a one-on-one fight, they could manage to fight; two against one would make it dangerous.
Now, the ratio exceeded two to one, hinting it was a situation of slim survival!
“We need to run!
Leave the Boundary Stones,” Vieri roared, and the group immediately attempted to retreat.
But before they could start running, the seven people from the other side emerged and surrounded them.
Shadowy figures zipped around in the air, quickly encircling the three.
One of them, a peak middle-level god from the Northern Alliance holding a Lower Grade Weapon – a long sword, appeared in front of the three and laughed heartily, “Originally, we planned to make our move once you guys had harvested the Boundary Stones.
