Chapter 1270 - 1109: Phoenix Mountain Soil
"Who is willing to go down?"Gao Qixiu said.
"I'll go!"
An elder eager to prove himself, knowing that although it was dangerous below, he thought as long as he prepared thoroughly, he could still escape successfully.
"Alright, be careful!"
Gao Qixiu immediately instructed everyone to set up a killing array nearby, in case the Exotic Realm Creatures below rushed up, they could use the killing array to suppress and kill them.
The elder cautiously dived down, and in less than ten breaths, he rushed up at extreme speed, telling Gao Qixiu that he had seen a massive Stone-swallowing Giant Beast below.
"So there's a Stone-swallowing Giant Beast down there!"
Gao Qixiu had dealt with a Stone-swallowing Giant Beast before, and he knew its power.
"Is the Stone-swallowing Giant Beast the only thing down there?"
Gao Qixiu asked.
"Yes! I looked very carefully!"
The elder replied.
"Very well. When we return, I'll reward you accordingly! Let's begin!"
Confirming that only the Stone-swallowing Giant Beast was below, Gao Qixiu felt excited inside.
He had previously been granted a treasure by the upper echelons of the Divine World, one that could deal with the Stone-swallowing Giant Beast.
Although the Stone-swallowing Giant Beast could gnaw through most minerals of the world, there were certain substances it couldn't devour.
The treasure bestowed by the higher-ups of the Divine World to Gao Qixiu was crafted using Phoenix Mountain Soil, making it invincible.
As long as the Stone-swallowing Giant Beast tried to bite the Phoenix Mountain Soil, it would become extremely hard.
But if the Stone-swallowing Giant Beast unleashed a fiery attribute attack, the Phoenix Mountain Soil would lose its invincible property.
Therefore, the upper echelon of the Divine World repeatedly warned Gao Qixiu not to let the Stone-swallowing Giant Beast or other Exotic Realm Creatures unleash a nearby fiery attribute attack.
Gao Qixiu dared not be negligent; he didn't want to lose such a heaven-defying treasure in vain.
Once preparations were complete, Gao Qixiu threw down dozens of stones attached with Spirit Talismans into the hole.
After the stones descended below, within a few breaths, they exploded together.
The loud explosion startled the sleeping Stone-swallowing Giant Beast, which roared in anger and glanced around.
In the next moment, it sensed the presence of Divine World Martial Artists above and immediately twisted its body, rushing towards the hole at extreme speed.
As it emerged from the ground, a powerful force immediately bound its body.
Almost the next instant, an axe-like object flew from Gao Qixiu's hand, heading towards the beast's head.
With a loud bang, the Stone-swallowing Giant Beast's head was struck by the axe.
The axe-like treasure, forged from Phoenix Mountain Soil, knocked the beast unconscious.
In the next moment, countless beams of light quickly rushed towards the beheaded Stone-swallowing Giant Beast, turning its body to ashes in less than three breaths.
Seeing the beast reduced to ashes, everyone cheered.
Gao Qixiu retrieved the Phoenix Mountain Soil, then personally descended into the cave to inspect the situation.
After confirming that only the Stone-swallowing Giant Beast was present, he completely destroyed the stronghold.
"It seems those Exotic Realm Creatures only used this place as a temporary rest stop!"
Gao Qixiu had thoroughly checked the cave passages and found no other paths.
He swiftly led the elders to other strongholds, aiming to eliminate the Exotic Realm Creatures at every mapped location near the Eternal Divine Court.
Meanwhile, after returning to his residence, Duan Gujin began to recuperate and restore his Primordial Power.
Three days later, Gao Qixiu summoned him.
Seeing Duan Gujin, Gao Qixiu informed him that in the past three days, he and the elders had destroyed eleven Exotic Realm Creatures' strongholds, marking a victory.
"That's good!"
Duan Gujin nodded slightly.
With a sigh, Gao Qixiu said, "Although we eliminated hundreds of Exotic Realm Creatures infiltrating the Divine World and many of their strongholds in three days, there are still three notably marked strongholds that cannot be found based on the map location."
"How could that be? Please point out those three strongholds, Sect Master."
Duan Gujin's curiosity piqued, he asked eagerly.
"Alright!"
Gao Qixiu handed the map to Duan Gujin, highlighting the three markings.
Looking over the three markers, Duan Gujin noticed their difference from others.
"These three symbols are unique compared to others. Did you deduce anything from the eleven symbols?"
Duan Gujin inquired.
"My subordinates and I analyzed them. These triangle-like symbols suggest a small rest stop with only one Stone-swallowing Giant Beast. The square symbol indicates two or more beasts; the more beasts, the more Exotic Realm Creatures. The circle suggests many Creatures from other places. In one cave, we found over a dozen Exotic Realm Creatures who revealed they were summoned here!"
Gao Qixiu explained.
Duan Gujin understood Gao Qixiu's answer.
"Those markings indeed suggest the density of Exotic Realm Creatures increases with larger, rounder figures."
Duan Gujin commented.
"Indeed. Yet, the pair of lines and an X among those three could only imply evacuation!"
Gao Qixiu suggested.
"You seem quite right!"
Relieved by Duan Gujin's affirmation, Gao Qixiu sighed.
He had feared incompetence in not locating the creatures at those marked spots. But Duan Gujin's answer reassured his initial suspicion.
"What should be our next step?"
Gao Qixiu inquired.
"Monitor those places! Have you avoided destroying these areas?"
Duan Gujin asked.
"Alas, I had the entire spots upturned seeking those Exotic Realm Creatures, all three are completely wrecked!"
Gao Qixiu confessed, embarrassed.
As he said, in their search, everything at those spots had been destroyed.
"Since they're ruined, there's no fixing it. Even if you rebuild, those creatures can tell the difference instantly!"
Duan Gujin remarked.
"Got it!"
Gao Qixiu said, touching his nose in acknowledgment.
