Chapter 2334 - 2332: Blood Race Blood Owl, Greetings to Two Fellow Daoists

"Brother Solar Flames, what should we do now?"

In a secluded place, Solar Flames and Moonless were hiding here, quietly recuperating. The contest for the Star Abyss Heir had reached the final stage.

Among the cultivators still surviving in the stellar space fragment, aside from those puppets controlled by the jellyfish star beast, there were probably only a handful left.

Solar Flames originally thought there might be other timid or weaker cultivators hiding, but now it seemed these cultivators had likely been secretly dealt with by the jellyfish star beast, given its numerous minions.

The Star Abyss Heir was destined to be decided among these few!

The closer to the end, the more one could not be careless. After all, the fight this time was not just for the title of Star Abyss Heir, but more for a chance to survive!

To lose would mean death.

The remaining enemies were all quite daunting. Not to mention the jellyfish star beast controlling many minions, Solar Flames was not confident in handling it. Moreover, the combination of Lu Ye and Su Yan should not be underestimated, although the threat they posed wasn't as significant as that of the jellyfish star beast.

After all, the jellyfish star beast still had twenty-seven or twenty-eight Dao Fusion minions remaining, which were exceedingly difficult to deal with.

In the current situation, if they could join forces with Lu Ye and Su Yan to deal with the jellyfish star beast, that would be ideal. After all, regardless of being from different races, they were ultimately sentient beings, while the star beast was another level of existence, naturally opposing major intelligent races.

But Lu Ye and Su Yan weren't fools. Would they readily agree to join forces with them?

Just as Solar Flames was contemplating, Moonless suddenly moved slightly: "Brother Solar Flames, someone's coming."

Solar Flames' expression turned solemn. Was it possible that the jellyfish star beast was chasing after them at this moment?

However, he quickly sensed something was amiss, as the person approaching was not one of the jellyfish star beast's controlled minions.

It's him!

Solar Flames raised his eyebrows, suddenly recalling that he seemed to have forgotten about this guy, mainly due to too many prior changes he hadn't considered this guy might still be alive.

"Fellow Daoists, might I have a word?" came a voice from outside. Evidently, the person had noticed their hiding place here, but had not attacked and asked politely instead.

Solar Flames and Moonless exchanged glances, and Solar Flames finally waved his hand, retracting the surrounding restrictions.

A moment later, a figure approached them, cupping his hands in greeting: "Blood Owl of the Blood Race greets Fellow Daoists."

It was the Blood Race member who had previously partnered with an Insect Race female cultivator. Earlier, the Insect Race female cultivator had been severely injured by Ning Gu's big seal exotic treasure, allowing Solar Flames to seize the opportunity and kill her, while this Blood Race member had chased after Su Yan.

Later, since Su Yan was unharmed, it proved that the Blood Race member hadn't been successful in his pursuit.

Su Yan subsequently returned to Baiyu Platform, warning Solar Flames and Moonless about the fact that the jellyfish star beast was still alive, but the Blood Race member had disappeared without a trace.

Now it appeared that this guy must have gone into hiding after failing to catch Su Yan.

His sudden approach to seek them out was quite intriguing.

The Blood Race member seemed very cautious, even though he had come to find them, he kept a fair distance, surrounded by a Blood Qi, ready to activate a secret technique at any moment.

This was a normal reaction; being alone, he naturally had to be wary of Solar Flames and Moonless teaming up against him.

Solar Flames scrutinized him thoroughly, introduced himself, and then pointed to the side: "This is Moonless."

"Greetings to both Fellow Daoists," Blood Owl respectfully saluted again, maintaining a humble stance and polite demeanor.

Solar Flames asked, "I'm curious as to why Blood Owl Fellow Daoist has come to seek us at this time?"

"Alliance!" Blood Owl replied succinctly.

Solar Flames thought that was indeed the case. With his companion killed, Blood Owl was all alone and certainly needed to ally with others to survive to the end.

Blood Owl continued, "I won't hide it from you, Fellow Daoists. In the recent battle I observed from afar, though your combined strength is formidable, the jellyfish star beast has too many minions. It might not be easy for you two to resolve the situation. However, with my assistance, we could anticipate great success. If I lay down a Blood Sea, it can confuse the enemy's perception and sight, dividing them within it. This way, you two could massacre them. The numeric advantage doesn't hold much significance when I'm around. Of course, this assumes you can eliminate them swiftly; otherwise, my Blood Sea Technique can't be maintained for long."

His words stirred Solar Flames' excitement. He certainly understood the prowess of the Blood Race's Blood Sea Technique, having battled many Blood Race powerhouses before.

In the earlier fight, if Blood Owl had truly supported him by laying down a Blood Sea, he wouldn't have been in such a dire state. He could have easily eliminated the initial ten or so Dao Fusion minions pursuing him and then had the freedom to deal with more puppets.

As long as those puppets didn't gather into a certain scale, they wouldn't pose a significant threat to him.

Despite the temptation, Solar Flames betrayed no hint of it, merely asking calmly, "Why us?"

Blood Owl replied, "Among those still alive now, apart from you two, there's only the jellyfish star beast, the human race combat cultivator, and the female archer. Nobody knows if the jellyfish star beast is male or female, but even if it's female, I wouldn't choose to ally with it! As for the human combat cultivator and the female archer... to be honest, I don't have much faith in them."

Solar Flames laughed: "Do you favor us? Then you should know, if I and Moonless seize the Star Abyss Heir, you will ultimately die!"

Blood Owl helplessly: "Yes, that's quite possible. But until then, who can say for sure? Moreover, even if I choose to ally with that human race combat cultivator and the female archer, can we really defeat you two?"

"You can try!" Solar Flames smiled proudly.

Blood Owl didn't dwell on this issue: "What do you think of my proposal, Fellow Daoist?"

Solar Flames pondered briefly before nodding: "Seamless cooperation is fine, but I want to know what you want. Don't tell me you seek nothing!"

"Of course not!" Blood Owl shook his head, "I want just one thing: kill that human race combat cultivator!"

Solar Flames was taken aback but quickly understood: "Got it!"

Blood Owl ultimately needed a companion, he set his sights on that female archer, which is why he came specifically to seek their cooperation.

At that time, as long as Solar Flames and Moonless help eliminate the jellyfish star beast and then the human race combat cultivator, Blood Owl and the female archer will naturally become companions, whether willingly or not.

In other words, it will be them against Blood Owl and the female archer, determining the Star Abyss Heir's ownership.

Blood Owl may have also targeted Moonless before, but relatively speaking, killing the human race combat cultivator is undoubtedly easier. As for whether Blood Owl and the female archer can defeat Solar Flames and Moonless when they team up in the end, that will be left to fate.

No one can escape or avoid this battle.

Blood Owl didn't speak too clearly, nor did Solar Flames inquire further. Some things can be openly discussed, while others are better left in mutual understanding.

After some negotiation, Blood Owl smoothly integrated into the combination of Solar Flames and Moonless, but he always remained cautious, never getting too close to the two, and the blood Qi around him constantly swirled.

"What is the next plan, Fellow Daoist?" Blood Owl asked, looking at Solar Flames.

Solar Flames shook his head: "Yet to be decided, but if we can let that human race combat cultivator and the female archer confront the jellyfish star beast, we can sit back and watch the struggle."

Moonless, listening on the side, brightened with this and nodded fiercely.

If managed, they can indeed gain significant advantage.

"This is difficult to execute." Blood Owl shook his head, "Although the jellyfish star beast has many minions, Fellow Daoist must have seen it—the female archer's Escape Technique is marvelously unparalleled. As long as she doesn't want a direct clash, unless someone can preemptively seal the space, no one can stop her from escaping, and moreover, she can take people with her! The only way to defeat her is continuous pursuit, depleting her Dao force, so she will surrender."

"You make a valid point." Solar Flames nodded, undoubtedly aware of the female archer's sheer nuisance. That kind of Escape Technique, even he had never seen before—it already involves high-level aspects of Space's Marvel.

Solar Flames highly suspects that the female archer belongs to an enigmatic, legendary race.

This race features exceptionally formidable members, albeit very scarce.

Out in the outside world, no Dao Fusion cultivator can kill her, but in this limited space, her greatest advantage is hard to leverage. As Blood Owl explained, beating her requires endless pursuit to deplete her Dao force.

Thus, they presently can only start with the jellyfish star beast first, prioritizing this matter so they can then focus on the combat cultivator and the female archer.

Neither side should collaborate, so there's no concern of them teaming up.

"Fellow Daoist, time is of the essence. Before coming, I specifically checked that the human race combat cultivator and the female archer occupy the Dao Pool. If we keep delaying, their recovery speed is incomparable to ours. If we plan to act, it must be swiftly." Blood Owl added.

Solar Flames's expression tightened—this was indeed an issue. Although there seems some urgency in Blood Owl implying quick action, his statement was truthful.

Though they can repair here peacefully, their efficiency will never match the enemy in the Dao Pool.

"Let's go!" Solar Flames immediately stood up, giving Blood Owl a reminder: "You remain uncovered and support when appropriate."

"I understand!" Blood Owl nodded.

As soon as they left this hiding place, Solar Flames suddenly noticed intense fighting coming from Baiyu Platform's direction, eliciting a delighted expression: "Ha! Those two forces are battling."

With joy, Solar Flames called to Moonless: "Let's watch the fun!"

This was certainly a scene he relished, secretly hoping the two sides would best fight to mutual exhaustion, allowing him to take advantage of the situation.

But to his disappointment, the commotion ceased as quickly as it started, leading only to either a decisive outcome or one side's withdrawal.

Solar Flames guessed the latter was the case.

Indeed, upon arriving with Moonless outside Baiyu Platform, raising a gaze, he saw over twenty cultivators scattered around four Dao Pools, all under the jellyfish star beast's control, each with distinctive transparent jellyfish hats atop their head.
