250: Chapter 25 The Nine Revolutions Golden Body Spear Reached Perfection!

She paused, then continued to explain, "Once any living being steps into that core area, the surrounding vines will trigger a defense mechanism.

At that time, an endless stream of Vine Evil Spirits will 'grow' and condense directly from the vines, their strength uniformly at the Third-Rank Peak."

"And that's not even the scariest part."

Su Liuli's gaze turned toward those four thick main vines, her tone growing heavier. "Those four main vines themselves will each condense a... Third Grade Limit level Vine Evil Spirit Guardian!"

Third Grade Limit!

Qin Yan felt a chill in his heart, instantly understanding why everyone was staying put.

Facing the possibility of four Third Grade Limit guardians appearing simultaneously, plus an unknown number of Third-Rank Peak Evil Spirit tides.

With only the teams present, once they acted, they would very likely be wiped out.

Acting rashly was no different from suicide.

"So, the heavenly prides of various races who arrived here reached a fragile consensus after initial contact and deliberation: wait for now.

Wait for more heavenly prides trapped in the forest to find this place and gather enough strength.

Then, we will join forces to charge into the core area, each relying on our own abilities to fight for the spirit hearts and strive for a chance at survival."

Qin Yan understood.

This was indeed the most reasonable, and perhaps the only, choice at the moment.

Only by gathering everyone's strength and sharing the risk would there be a possibility of success.

After understanding the situation, Qin Yan nodded to Su Liuli to express his thanks.

Afterward, he found a relatively quiet corner near the rock wall and began to practice his Spear Technique and adjust his state as usual.

Whether it was cooperation or a free-for-all next, increasing combat power was always the top priority.

Inside the circular forest, the atmosphere was oppressive and tense.

The heavenly prides of all races were silently preparing, their gazes clashing wordlessly.

During this time, sporadic figures with varying strengths of aura appeared one after another.

They struggled to break into this core area through different vine passages.

When they first saw that towering black giant flower, which, though withered, still exuded endless majesty and evil...

...as well as the four floating emerald wood hearts, their expressions changed drastically, their eyes filled with shock, greed, and deep wariness.

Time passed slowly in the wait.

In the blink of an eye, it was May 6th.

The silent and oppressive wait was finally broken on this day.

"Qin Yan, it's time to gather."

Qin Yan slowly withdrew his spear, suppressed the surging blood qi around him, and turned to look.

Su Liuli was standing a few steps away, still possessing that peculiar temperament that intertwined coldness and charm.

However, if Qin Yan were closer, he would have noticed a faint trace of... admiration in Su Liuli's eyes?

Over these days, Su Liuli had witnessed Qin Yan's hard work and focus.

Since arriving in this core area, this man had devoted almost all his time to tempering his Spear Technique, except for necessary rest.

Unwavering, he practiced bitterly for over sixteen hours every day!

That almost self-torturing perseverance and that single-minded focus—as if all the outside distractions and the pressure of life and death could not interfere with his cultivation—made her feel secretly alarmed.

Asking herself, she believed she would find it difficult to achieve such extreme diligence and concentration.

Qin Yan nodded to Su Liuli, and then the two of them walked toward the gathering place together.

As far as the eye could see, there were all sorts of different forms around the gathering place, bringing together no fewer than ten different races.

However, the total number was not large; at a rough estimate, it was only close to three hundred.

But among these figures, even the weakest emitted the blood qi fluctuations of the third grade late stage, and the aura of the Third-Rank Peak was everywhere.

After all, those with insufficient strength had long since turned back midway or perished, just like those two retreating Ice Field Bears.

Those who could stand here were all ruthless characters with both willpower and strength.

At this moment, all eyes were focused on the two figures in the center of the crowd with the most powerful auras.

One was an Ice Field Bear named Xiong Da, whose fur shimmered with an ice-blue luster and whose body was like a small mountain; he was ranked 95th on the heavenly pride ranking.

The other was a powerhouse of the Black Tortoise Clan named Xuan Shan, with a dark black shell covered in ancient patterns, a dragon-like head, and limbs as thick as pillars; he was ranked 87th on the heavenly pride ranking.

These two were the ones recognized as the strongest here and were the first to propose joining forces.

Being able to meet two top-ranked powerhouses to take the lead in organizing in this peril-filled place was considered a rare piece of "luck" for most of the heavenly prides trapped here.

Seeing that everyone had mostly arrived, Xiong Da took a step forward, his deep and thick voice booming like muffled thunder:

"Everyone! Having made it this far, your strength and character speak for themselves.

The situation before us is clear to everyone—those four yimu spirit hearts are the key to our departure from this place, and they are also a rare opportunity!"

His massive bear paw pointed toward the four emerald wood hearts in the center, his eyes flashing with heat and determination.

"No more nonsense!

According to previous probes and agreements, next, Brother Black Tortoise and I will lead the way and take responsibility for dealing with the Third Grade Limit Evil Spirits condensed from those four main vines!

As for the large number of other Third-Rank Peak Evil Spirits, all of you must work together and resist them with all your might!"

"This is a matter of life and death. I hope everyone will set aside past grievances and go all out!

Otherwise, we won't be able to break through this defense or get the spirit hearts.

All of us will be trapped to death in this ghostly place, serving as fertilizer for these vines!"

Xiong Da's words were blunt and powerful, carrying an unquestionable decisiveness.

He looked around, and seeing no opposition, he began to read a list that had already been drafted.

The names on the list were all Third-Rank Peak heavenly prides who, through observation and private communication over the past few days, were recognized as powerful enough to take on the heavy responsibility of the main attack.

"Frost Wolf Clan, Lang Feng!"

"Storm Winged People, Feng Ling!"

"Lava Lizardmen Clan, Yan Zhuo!"

"Elf Clan, Flowing Maple!"

"Mountain Giant Spirit (Shrunken Form), Shi Tu!"

...

"Human Race, Su Liuli!"

"Human Race, Qin Yan!"

...

One name after another was called out, and those whose names were called stepped forward with solemn expressions.

Qin Yan and Su Liuli exchanged a glance and then walked out of the crowd side by side.

Qin Yan's gaze swept over these "sharp blade" members; without exception, they were all Third-Rank Peak!

According to the intelligence gathered by the heavenly prides at the cost of their lives, the explosive blood qi power of the Third Grade Limit Evil Spirits condensed from the four main vines was estimated to be between 330 cal and 3,500 cal!

This was an extremely terrifying number.

Without enough top-tier Third-Rank Peaks joining forces to pin them down and wear them out, it would be impossible to contend with them.

Thinking of this, Qin Yan looked at his panel.
