"What do we do?" The treasure was right in front of them, but there was no way to get it. It was driving them a bit crazy.
"Mr. Fang, your God Tycoon civilization has endless tricks. Do you have any ideas?"
"We’re not gods, what can we do?" Fang Jueyu said.
He had already tried several thods earlier, but even with his current strength, whether using Cosmic Source Power or spiritual power, he couldn’t get within 70 ters of the altar. The aura would crush him instantly upon entry.
Although he hadn’t experienced a demigod’s aura, Fang Jueyu had felt the aura of Transcenders plenty of tis. It was suffocating, as if a mountain was pressing down on you. A Demigod Warrior’s aura was probably a hundred tis stronger than that.
The owners of these bones had died countless years ago, and their aura had greatly weakened. However, due to the special nature of this relic, it had been preserved. Although a single bone’s aura might not be very strong, they had accumulated into an aura equivalent to a Demigod Warrior.
They were just a group of apex Source Energy Users and Divine Ability Users. No matter how talented, how could they withstand this?
"Are we just going to give up like this?" They had searched the entire mountain villa, and, apart from these bones, the model on the altar was probably the only piece of that era left.
"No, we can’t go back empty-handed. Even if we get hurt, we have to try!"
"That’s right, it’s too good of an opportunity to pass up!"
The treasure’s allure was so great that it almost drove them all insane, as they headed toward the center of the altar.
The initial stretch of the journey was bearable, but as they entered the 200-ter range, it felt like a mountain was pressing down on them.
Pulses of Cosmic Source Power erupted to help resist the aura’s pressure. So physically weak Martial Artists barely took a few steps before their skin began to crack!
"They’re all dead people, why is the aura still so strong?"
Soone attacked the Blue Jade Skeletons. Since the aura ca from them, destroying these bones might cause the aura to dissipate.
However, the Blue Jade Skeletons were harder than any tal discovered in the universe so far, and despite their all-out attacks, they couldn’t even scratch them, let alone scatter the bones.
"Bunch of pig brains!" Fang Jueyu watched them charge forward with all their might and remained indifferent.
Even if a demigod stood still, they wouldn’t be hard in a millennium. These Martial Artists’ bodies had long decayed after countless years, but the bones were so well-preserved. It showed their uniqueness, and yet they thought they could shatter them.
"Sigh, silly kids. It’s good to have dreams, but if your head doesn’t work, refusing to get it treated becos a lifelong issue." Fang Jueyu sighed and shook his head.
He did want the treasure, but he was clear-headed enough to know he couldn’t get it, and trying would be a waste of effort.
"Woof woof woof!" Suddenly, Ergou barked at Fang Jueyu.
"What?" Fang Jueyu glanced at it.
"What did you say, you can go in?" Through the soul contract, Fang Jueyu understood Ergou’s aning, "Wait, you..."
Before he could finish, Ergou briskly trotted into the altar.
"Hmm? Is that creature called a dog?"
"What’s going on? These God Tycoon civilization people are watching from the sidelines and letting their pet take the risk?"
"Even if the dog is a top-tier Cosmic Beast, it’s just in its juvenile phase. Having the strength of a Divine Ability User is impressive. Can it resist the demigod skeleton’s aura?"
The Martial Artists shook their heads and continued moving forward with determination.
"Whoosh!" At that mont, a dark blur suddenly zipped past them.
"What was that? So fast!"
"What?"
Liu Qi was already at the forefront, having exhausted all his strength. Even when just 90 ters from the altar’s center, he found it impossible to move a step without enormous effort and ti.
"It’s that dog!"
"How is it possible! Why isn’t it affected by the aura?"
To the astonishnt of hundreds of thousands of eyes, Ergou entered the altar center with ease, where the overwhelming pressure seed nonexistent to it.
"Even I, Lu Benwei, haven’t cheated, yet that dog seems to be cheating!" Fang Jueyu’s duplicate carried a trace of his independent consciousness. Lu Benwei looked on in shock at the rapidly advancing Ergou, his jaw trembling in disbelief.
Quickly, Ergou passed Liu Qi and reached the altar’s center, especially where the Blue Jade Skeleton and Purple Crystal Bone were located. The aura pressure there surged tenfold again!
"Woo woo woo!" Ergou lowly growled, and a purple phantom rose from its back. At that mont, the terrifying aura of the Soul-devouring Beast spread out!
As the auras touched the phantom behind Ergou, they were instantly dispersed like darkness eting light; the aura, enough to crush a Controller, had no effect on Ergou!
"I’ve raised you all these years for a reason!" Fang Jueyu shouted. "Ergou, get that treasure out for !"
"Woof woof woof!" Ergou suddenly stopped, barking twice at Fang Jueyu as if negotiating terms.
"Damn you, you dead dog, negotiating with !" Fang Jueyu cursed. "Fine! Two fifth-level Cosmic Crystals, and you bring the thing, and I’ll give them to you!"
"Woof woof woof!" With Fang Jueyu’s promise, Ergou imdiately dashed toward the center.
It leapt, sprinting easily across the skulls of once-absolute powerhouses to the altar’s central area, even licking a few bones along the way. But the bones were so sturdy that Ergou’s teeth couldn’t make a dent.
"Damn! Those aren’t at bones; those are Demigod Warrior leg bones. Stop gnawing on them!" Fang Jueyu shouted.
Watching this, all the Martial Artists were like ants on a hot pot. They watched helplessly as Ergou grew ever closer to the central treasure, but they couldn’t do a thing to stop it.
By this ti, they’d all ventured into the aura-covered zone, and their bodies were immobilized by the pressure. To retreat, they must slowly back out; otherwise, sudden movents might disrupt their energies and cause severe injury.
Why! Why, exactly? God Tycoon civilization’s Martial Artists were already formidable; why was his pet even more out of the ordinary?
Monts later, Ergou reached the altar, grabbed the mountain villa model, and sprinted back. On the way, it even left a patch of steaming urine by a few Martial Artists’ feet.
The unlucky Martial Artists really wanted to kick this dead dog, but there was nothing they could do.
"Woof!" Ergou finally brought the model to Fang Jueyu and wagged its tail expectantly.
"Smack!" Fang Jueyu gave Ergou a flick on the head. "Got guts, huh, daring to negotiate with ? Starting today, no Cosmic Crystals for three days!"
