378: Gu Qinghan, the unscrupulous middleman

"The effect of this Hatred's Guardian is really good!"

Although Gu Qinghan was a little disheveled, his eyes were extremely bright.

Looking at the injuries on the Dragon Snake, he couldn't help but feel a sense of mischievous pleasure.

Anyway, he had so many life-saving skills now that he could completely adopt this injury-for-injury tactic to fight the enemy desperately.

Moreover, he would lose a maximum of 25 points of vitality, and the remaining damage was all borne by the Bear King.

As a middleman, Gu Qinghan was making a killing!

After the Dragon Snake rolled a few times, Gu Qinghan detonated a Blood Bomb near its tail.

As the pain appeared, the Dragon Snake swung its tail again, slamming Gu Qinghan into the ground.

But this time, another sharp Bone Spike appeared from nowhere, further expanding its wounds.

However, the Dragon Snake, controlled by the Dragon Power, had little sanity left at this point.

Its counterattacks became increasingly fierce, and its own injuries grew heavier and heavier.

After just a few more exchanges, Gu Qinghan retreated first.

It wasn't that he was afraid; after all, he had previously experienced death in two different ways, and knowing he wouldn't die meant there was nothing to fear.

The reason he withdrew was that the Bear King was about to collapse.

It must be known that the damage the Bear King shared for him was calculated at double the rate.

But after these few exchanges, the massive Dragon Snake was already severely injured.

Wang Yan shouted from behind, "There's quite a bit of water now, do you want to go check it out?"

Gu Qinghan nodded, no longer concerned with killing the Dragon Snake immediately, and returned directly to the main battlefield.

Looking down, sure enough, the water level in the fissure was visibly close to the surface.

Gu Qinghan retracted the tentacles behind him, feeling a little excited in his heart.

This was the second time he had released the Deaths Touch after completely subduing it.

But this was the first time the Deaths Touch had participated in combat in its true form, and Gu Qinghan felt a faint sense of anticipation.

A black light plunged directly into the fissure, barely attracting anyone's attention.

But within a few seconds, the water surface in the fissure suddenly rose rapidly.

It seemed that some massive creature had appeared in the water, causing this strange phenomenon.

It was at this moment that a huge black tentacle suddenly emerged from the fissure.

The moment the tentacle appeared, it immediately wrapped around the Mutated Ancient Tree beside the fissure.

The Mutated Ancient Tree clearly sensed the danger and immediately gathered its branches and vines to resist the massive tentacle.

Immediately afterward, another massive black tentacle appeared, wrapping around the Ancient Tree.

The third, the fourth, the fifth... Eventually, a total of six tentacles emerged from the fissure, scattering branches and leaves as they swung, wrapping around the Ancient Tree's trunk again and again.

"This... is this also Gu Qinghan's method?"

The crowd in the distance watched this scene, their mouths agape.

Everything before had allowed them to feel Gu Qinghan's power.

But at this moment, the creature appearing from the fissure was nearly as huge as the Mutated Ancient Tree.

Although only a few tentacles had appeared, everyone could guess how enormous the entity below was.

How did Gu Qinghan manage to obtain an existence of this caliber?

Of course, they didn't know that while they were trapped here, this young man had already traveled to many places.

He had even risked death at sea that day, snatching a trophy from a marine overlord!

That was a reward for the brave, and a commendation for the adventurer!

"Keep adding water!"

Gu Qinghan shouted loudly at the stunned Water Elementalists, because as the two behemoths fought, the water in the fissure was constantly overflowing.

As the Deaths Touch exerted force, even the roots of the Mutated Ancient Tree were being pulled out.

Large amounts of already churning, muddy water flowed along the indentations, causing the water level in the fissure to gradually drop.

Vaguely, the Water Elementalists could see a gigantic black shadow moving beneath the water.

They only glanced before retracting their gaze; that massive body made their souls tremble.

They couldn't imagine how Gu Qinghan had subdued this behemoth, but all they could do right now was continuously add water.

Gu Qinghan was right; although their combat power was weak, at this very moment, they were truly changing the tide of the battle!

Waterfalls descended from the sky again, and then Gu Qinghan temporarily led the group away from the area.

The size difference between the two sides was too great, and they were likely to be affected.

The battle between these two behemoths had no fancy skills, but from start to finish, it only demonstrated a terrifying, suffocating power.

The tentacles of the Deaths Touch squeezed the trunk of the Mutated Ancient Tree almost to the point of deformation, and even its lush canopy was partially stripped bare.

But the Mutated Ancient Tree was no pushover; after realizing it was weaker in strength, it surprisingly grew many sharp branches.

These branches all pierced into the tentacles of the Deaths Touch and visibly began sucking something away.

However, this power not only failed to help it but instead caused its branches to start withering.

However, since the Ancient Tree was capable of keeping humans captive, it clearly possessed immense intelligence.

It changed its strategy, injecting surging green energy into the tentacles of the Deaths Touch.

It could be seen that after these energies were injected, the tentacles of the Deaths Touch visibly began to fester.

In less than half a minute, a segment of the massive black tentacle broke off in the middle and crashed onto the ground.

The canopy of the Mutated Ancient Tree shook, seemingly extremely excited.

But quickly, the broken tentacle retracted into the water, and then another tentacle took over the previous task.

Wang Yan returned to Gu Qinghan's side and asked worriedly:

"The Mutated Ancient Tree has been accumulating power here for so long, are you sure this is alright?"

Gu Qinghan smiled and didn't offer any explanation.

He looked at the Dragon Snake, which was now completely dead, and patted Gu Qingyuan beside him, saying:

"Time to work, why are you standing around?"

Gu Qingyuan walked over to the corpse with a speechless expression, but this time he didn't directly suck the body into a black hole.

However, terrifying suction still erupted from his hands, absorbing all the Dragon Power from the corpse.

When he returned, an earthy yellow honeydew had appeared in his hands once again.

Gu Qinghan took the honeydew and asked curiously in his mind:

"Why did you leave the corpse this time?"

Gu Qingyuan glanced at Gu Qinghan and replied in his mind, "Because I'm full."

"So, you swallowed the corpses before because you wanted to eat your fill, not just to refine energy?"

Gu Qingyuan looked at Gu Qinghan strangely, as if he were looking at an idiot.

However, Gu Qinghan didn't say much more; he simply released the Bear King and tossed the honeydew into his mouth.

He patted the Bear King and said with a smile:

"Alright, the payoff for taking those hits is here.

But after eating this, you might become even more durable in the future, right?"

The Bear King let out a low growl, but the meaning conveyed was one of extreme happiness.

And right at this moment, the main trunk of the Mutated Ancient Tree in the distance finally snapped under the immense power of the Deaths Touch.

The grating, screeching sound seemed to travel nearly a thousand meters, causing everyone's eyes to slightly brighten.
