Thus, dandelion umbrellas floated out, flying all the way to the upper reaches of the River, sinking into the River Water in a perilous gorge, quickly turning it crimson.
The River Water in this section is swift and fierce, always the territory of the most formidable Demon Beasts.
Many slightly weaker Demon Beasts would pass by cautiously.
But today, the Demon Beasts found it eerily quiet here.
However, they instinctively sensed a terrible danger lurking beneath the river, poised to erupt at any mont.
They quickly passed through these waters without daring to look back.
After daybreak, a huge whirlpool suddenly appeared in the torrential River Water, capturing any Demon Beasts it found, who struggled in despair until they ultimately succumbed.
A bizarre giant beast rose from the whirlpool, chewing on those ferocious creatures, its blood-red fierce eyes staring at the hanging coffins on the cliffs on both sides of the gorge!
Yet, this Demon Beast had way too many peculiarities, like taking parts of seven or eight high-ranking Demon Beasts’ bodies and sewing them together with a white thread.
All the blood essence of the Demon Beasts was pressed into this monster’s body, carrying an extrely strong Blood Evil Spirit, the combined strength of those Demon Beasts.
It climbed up the cliff in the angry morning sun.
Despite the slippery cliff, it easily pierced its claws into the rock, moving swiftly and arriving near a hanging coffin.
Outside Copper Gorge, neither the Human Race nor the Demon Clan knew the secrets of the nurous hanging coffins on both banks, but powerful Demon Beings inherently understood: those hanging coffins at the highest altitude of the upper reaches must not be touched, or even a Tire-7 would certainly fall.
The hanging coffins also have levels.
Those of the lowest rank often fall into the River due to erosion or collapsing mountains, and so even beco “food” for the dandelions.
But this ti, the dandelion’s target was not these low-level hanging coffins; it needed a more powerful Guardian of the Path!
That sewn-together Demon Beast was already very powerful, but it couldn’t satisfy the dandelion.
The Demon Beast went upward all the way, bypassing the most nurous hanging coffin clusters at the bottom layer, reaching the second layer, and still didn’t stop as it rushed to the third layer!
By this point, the sewn-together Demon Beast was already struggling, but still persisted in squeezing into a hanging coffin stone chamber.
Its body imdiately showed a large area of unexplained necrosis, but it endured the pain and continued to move the hanging coffin.
It was unknown what material the hanging coffin was made of, but it was incredibly heavy.
The Demon Beast painstakingly moved it bit by bit, as the necrosis spread over its body.
The dense Blood Evil Spirit took effect, desperately restoring the vitality of its body.
Finally, it pushed the hanging coffin out of the stone chamber and crashed into the River Water below.
Countless dandelion umbrellas rushed up and surrounded the hanging coffin!
That sewn-together Demon Beast had completely exhausted its strength, lay down at the edge of the stone chamber, and quickly lost its life force, becoming a dried corpse.
…
Owen Bertram left Magpie and the Divine Heavenly Soldier to continue monitoring the dandelion and quietly returned to Looking Cloud Cliff.
At this ti, the defense of Looking Cloud Cliff was tight, with David and Darcy Darren, both from the Fifth Great Domain, personally leading the team and taking turns guarding for twelve Shichen (2 hours).
This was because the large-scale Magical Instrunts forged by Otis King and his group were all stored in the Prescott Group’s building.
Although the world seed peaceful, it was not certain whether soone would beco so desperate as to attack the Prescott Group, seize the large-scale Magical Instrunts, and start a rebellion, which would really be disastrous.
Nolan Gordon and his group were escorted back and imprisoned in the dungeons beneath the Prescott Group.
When Owen Bertram returned with Adolph Benson to the Prescott Group, he was also thrown directly into the dungeon.
Before going there, he told Nathan Lane: “Inform the manager of the Black-water County branch of Topeka Hall to investigate themselves.
If they can’t find any problems, my office will send soone to help them investigate!”
Nathan Lane was taken aback: “Sir…”
We had a good cooperation with Topeka Hall, and they even handed in a 1.5 million token of allegiance.
Owen Bertram thought for a mont and then disclosed sothing to his confidant: “Soone at Topeka Hall is in collusion with the Demon Beings.
Don’t explicitly inform them about this for now; let them panic a bit, and they will definitely find out themselves.
This way, it will be easier to negotiate later.”
Nathan Lane imdiately understood: “Subordinate obeys.”
Owen Bertram then went straight to the warehouse guarded by David himself: “What are the results so far?”
