Chapter 218: Chapter 218: The Giant Elephant’s Guard

"A Breath of the Soul, something worth tens of millions of Magic Stones? I don’t want it!"

Karina quickly tossed the potion to Andre, but her eyes still revealed a look of intense longing.

After all, the Breath of the Soul was a potion that not only allowed one to see souls but also strengthened them. It was the kind of potion that would be snatched up in a frenzy the moment it hit the market.

"Don’t you owe me enough already? This potion, along with those potion blocks from before, will all be deducted from your share of the profits from the Tomb of the Giant Elephant."

Karina rolled her eyes at Andre’s words.

In the end, she still drank the Soul Breath Potion.

Immediately, the same gray particles appeared in her vision.

The gray particles were now constantly gathering, trying to form a shape.

But no matter how they gathered, they couldn’t coalesce into a complete, concrete form.

"What in the world is this? Could it be the souls of those giant serpents?!"

Karina watched the gray particles with great vigilance.

Just then, the gray particles finally condensed completely, and the figure of a Giant Elephant appeared before her and Andre.

"A Giant Elephant’s soul? How could a Giant Elephant leave a soul behind?"

Andre blinked, not quite understanding the scene unfolding before him.

Logically, those giant serpents with claws under their bellies were Soul Element Magical Beasts.

To increase their strength, besides honing it over time, their only other method was to devour the souls of other creatures.

But now, the souls of Giant Elephants, which should have been food for those giant serpents, had appeared before him.

This left Andre deeply puzzled, but no matter how confused he was, the souls of the Giant Elephants had undeniably appeared.

And after the first Giant Elephant soul appeared, more and more materialized one by one, eventually forming a herd.

The Giant Elephant souls gathered together, raised their trunks, and let out a trumpeting call.

Although Andre and Karina couldn’t hear the sound in the real world, they heard it within their own souls.

The trumpeting call, striking directly at their souls, nearly caused them both to pass out.

Then, the Giant Elephant souls shot into their bodies as a gray stream of light. Entering their very beings, they transformed into a gray radiance that enveloped their souls.

"Giant Elephant’s Guardian!" The moment Andre touched the gray radiance with his Spiritual Power, he instantly knew its origin.

It was a Soul Element Witchcraft designed specifically to protect the soul. It was precisely because of this Soul Witchcraft that the Giant Elephants’ souls had not been devoured by the giant serpents.

"Is this their way of thanking us for killing the giant serpents that devoured their remains? A reward?"

At that moment, the expressions on both Andre and Karina’s faces became extremely strange.

But they had no way to confirm their theory, as the Giant Elephants were long dead.

The reason their souls could reappear in the Tomb of the Giant Elephant was due to the unique properties of this place.

But now, after the Giant Elephant souls bestowed upon them the permanent "Giant Elephant’s Guardian," the souls vanished completely.

From now on, this Tomb of the Giant Elephant would be gone forever from the Giant Elephant Plain.

In the future, unless new Giant Elephants found another suitable location to build a Tomb of the Giant Elephant, only five such tombs would remain on the Giant Elephant Plain.

"What does this mean? Did we just clean out this Tomb of the Giant Elephant?"

Karina said with extreme helplessness in the face of the situation.

"What else would you call it?"

Andre’s expression was also incredibly strange.

"Forget it. Now isn’t the time to think about this."

Andre brought his focus back, spoke to Karina, and then flew toward the sound of the flowing Black Water.

Karina nodded and followed Andre.

When the two arrived at the location, they immediately looked down at the ground.

The Black Water had formed a vortex above the tunnel the giant serpents had used to enter the Tomb of the Giant Elephant, submerging the entrance.

And from down in the tunnel, Andre and Karina could faintly hear the hissing roars of the giant serpents.

But under the power of the Blood Fusion Potion, the giant serpents only managed a couple of roars before becoming part of the Black Water.

"Good thing the tunnel these giant serpents dug is deep enough. Otherwise, this whole Tomb of the Giant Elephant would have been filled with Black Water."

Andre shook his head as he watched the Black Water continuously pour into the tunnel.

He had never seen a situation like this before.

Although he had previously brewed the Blood Fusion Potion according to the formula in a book, he had never actually used it.

Today was his first time, and this first use had created such a massive scene.

At this moment, Andre had some new ideas about the Blood Fusion Potion, but after thinking about its demanding activation conditions, he buried those thoughts deep in his heart.

"How much longer do we have to wait?" Karina asked, looking at Andre.

"Not much longer!" Andre pointed toward the ground.

Inside the Tomb of the Giant Elephant, some of the higher areas were beginning to re-emerge as the Black Water drained into the tunnel.

"In about ten more minutes, the Black Water will have completely drained into the tunnel."

"And we’ll take that opportunity to go in."

Karina’s eyes went wide at Andre’s words.

"Have you lost your mind?!" Karina couldn’t comprehend Andre’s plan.

Following the Black Water into the tunnel? Wouldn’t they just be corroded and become part of it?

"Right now, the Black Water is clearing the giant serpents from the tunnel for us. This is a god-sent opportunity. If we don’t seize this chance, what other chance are we waiting for?"

Seeing Karina’s reluctant expression, Andre immediately pressed her for her thoughts.

Karina looked at Andre and opened her mouth. She had wanted to argue that the water was terrifyingly corrosive.

But she figured Andre would just say that the Black Water would keep flowing downward.

However, the giant serpents also came to the surface to hunt, so the tunnel wouldn’t be a straight drop.

What if the Black Water pooled somewhere in the middle of the tunnel? Wouldn’t they be the unlucky ones?

"Don’t worry, I’ve already thought of a solution."

Andre looked at Karina with a smile, then dropped directly into the tunnel, following in the wake of the Black Water toward the giant serpents’ nest.

Watching Andre disappear into the tunnel, Karina gritted her teeth, then leaped down as well, entering the passage to chase after him.

Meanwhile, as more and more giant serpents were dissolved by the Black Water, they began to panic.

In their memory, they had never encountered such a tyrannical black liquid.

This black liquid turned their tough, pride-worthy bodies into mush.

The slightest touch was enough for their bodies to be completely corroded away.

Faced with the sudden appearance of the Black Water, the giant serpents began to search for a solution.

But the Black Water had come too suddenly. With their limited brain capacity, the giant serpents couldn’t come up with any good ideas on the spot.
