67: Earth-walking Immortal

This majestic giant horse was incomparably divine, over 20 meters long and 10 meters tall at the shoulder, covered in black mane.

Each strand of hair was glossy and bright, as if dyed with ink.

Its muscles looked as if they were painted on, bulging and powerful.

Especially, a curved, sky-piercing horn grew on its forehead, sharp and long, as if it wanted to pierce the firmament.

“Unicorn Nightmare!!!”

Zhang Fan and Guo Mi’s expressions changed simultaneously, and a hint of terror appeared in their eyes.

Unicorn Nightmare Zou Ying was one of Tang Long’s subordinates, considered the third-ranked figure of Demon Dragon Mountain.

Her Titan Transformation, the Unicorn Nightmare, possessed the Talent Divine Power of Nightmare, allowing her to control dreams.

She could even kill people in their sleep; once killed in a dream, the person would also die in reality.

Killing invisibly!

Therefore, Zou Ying’s name similarly struck fear into people!

“This way!”

Encountering Tang Long first, then being targeted by Zou Ying, almost drove Zhang Fan to despair.

The former was at the Golden Core stage, the latter at the Core Formation stage—chasing after a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator like him?

But Zhang Fan did not give up escaping; he would never give up until the very last moment.

He had just become a Titan Warrior; he still had an infinite future!

He couldn't die here!

Zhang Fan changed direction and fled in another direction, but he hadn't run far before another obstacle appeared.

This time, it was a giant golden ox with a pair of wings on its back.

The giant ox’s body was covered in golden scales, its wings grew golden feathers, and its two long horns seemed to be cast from gold.

It stood in the middle of the Ba River, its golden scales shimmering with dazzling golden light under the sunlight.

That body of Golden Scale almost blinded Zhang Fan and Guo Mi’s titanium alloy dog eyes.

“Golden Divine Ox!”

“Damn it!”

Zhang Fan directly cursed: “Did I just poke the hornet’s nest of Demon Dragon Mountain? One after another?”

Golden Divine Ox Meng Guangyuan was also one of Tang Long’s brothers.

He was also at the Core Formation stage!

Tang Long!

Zou Ying!

Meng Guangyuan!

Demon Dragon Mountain actually sent out so many experts just to deal with a small fry like him?

This made Zhang Fan both flattered and bewildered.

He was just a Foundation Establishment cultivator, a Foundation Establishment cultivator! Was it necessary to dispatch so many experts?

What the hell were they after?

But now was not the time to be puzzled by these things; escaping was paramount!

Escaping?

Where could they even escape to?

The Ba River was only so wide, and the water only so deep; with their body sizes, there was nowhere to escape unless they could burrow into the ground!

Wait!

Burrow into the ground?

A flash of inspiration struck Zhang Fan’s mind, and he immediately had an idea.

Since there was no way to go up to the sky, and nowhere to escape in the water, why not go into the ground?

Zhang Fan remembered very clearly that yesterday he had killed a monster that was very good at burrowing into the ground—an Armored Eel!

With this thought, Zhang Fan immediately released the Wilderness Villa, gestured for Guo Mi to transform back into human form, and they both entered the villa.

“Brother, what exactly is going on with those people from Demon Dragon Mountain?”

Guo Mi’s face was pale: “Why are they targeting us?”

“I don’t know!”

Zhang Fan shook his head: “We have never offended Demon Dragon Mountain; logically, they shouldn’t be chasing us for no reason!”

“But since they’ve come, something must be driving them!”

“Perhaps it’s profit, perhaps it’s a threat, perhaps it’s an order!”

“In short, these bandits from Demon Dragon Mountain wouldn’t just come after two small fries like us for no good reason!”

“Profit?”

Guo Mi frowned slightly, then suddenly exclaimed: “Could it be related to your group’s 40% shares?”

“Shares?”

Zhang Fan’s expression was gloomy: “I’m not sure, but I hope not!”

Although he said that, Zhang Fan understood that it was probably related!

Grandpa suddenly announced that he would give him 40% of the group’s shares, which made the uncles, aunts, and cousins in the family very dissatisfied, and they caused a ruckus at home for several days.

They had reason to be upset; after all, it was shares worth 400 billion!

Who wouldn't be envious?

But despite the fuss, no one dared to question or refute Grandpa’s decision!

Given this, they would inevitably turn their attention to dealing with him!

As long as he died, he naturally wouldn’t get these 40% shares!

A permanent solution!

Indeed.

Doing so would enrage Grandpa and lead to terrible consequences.

But wealth moves hearts!

Driven by enormous profit, it was inevitable that some would take risks!

One must know that in this world, there is no shortage of foolish, crazy, prejudiced, and deranged individuals!

Many people’s intelligence and psychology are simply beyond your imagination!

“I hope not…”

Zhang Fan took a deep breath, held the storage bottle containing the Armored Eel’s corpse in his hand, and said to Guo Mi:

“Da Mimi, you stay in the Wilderness Villa from now on, don’t come out, and leave the rest to me!”

Guo Mi’s pretty face changed: “Brother, what are you going to do? The enemy has too many people, we can’t escape!”

“It’s better to hide in the villa temporarily and wait for Teacher Jiang’s rescue!”

“Don’t you understand?”

Zhang Fan reprimanded: “Teacher Jiang hasn’t appeared for so long, she’s probably being tied up by someone and can’t get away!”

“These people from Demon Dragon Mountain are clearly prepared; relying on Teacher Jiang? I think it’s unlikely, we must save ourselves!”

Guo Mi’s face was pale, and she trembled: “Teacher Jiang won’t be in trouble, will she?”

Teacher Jiang had always been secretly watching them; as long as they were in danger, she would definitely rush to rescue them immediately.

But she hadn’t, and Guo Mi realized that Teacher Jiang was probably in trouble!

“I don’t know!”

Zhang Fan shook his head: “We can’t worry about Teacher Jiang anymore; we can only take care of ourselves first!”

“From now on, you just stay obediently in the villa, and I will find a way to leave here!”

“As long as we escape the encirclement of these people from Demon Dragon Mountain, the world is vast, and we have a good chance of surviving!”

“Brother Zhang Fan, I’ll listen to you!”

Guo Mi, with red eyes, threw herself into Zhang Fan’s arms and fiercely kissed his lips, as if to make up for all the kisses of her remaining life.

After a long while, she released Zhang Fan, her eyes red and swollen, and choked out:

“Brother, just do your best; if it’s impossible… I will have no regrets dying with you!”

You have no regrets, but I do; I don’t want to die here!

Zhang Fan nodded heavily, then turned and strode out of the villa.

Outside the villa, Zhang Fan put the Wilderness Villa back into the storage bottle and released the Armored Eel’s corpse.

“Pfft—”

He tore open the Armored Eel’s corpse with an axe, creating an opening, and Zhang Fan directly stuck his head inside.

After all, this was the riverbed, and blood could easily be diluted by the river water.

Zhang Fan was unsure if the blood could still be used for transformation after being diluted.

So he could only stick his head into the Armored Eel’s corpse to obtain blood through this clumsy method.

As the Armored Eel’s blood merged into his glabella, Zhang Fan carefully sensed it and successfully obtained the Armored Eel Transformation.

“Transform!”

With a thought, Zhang Fan’s body rapidly changed.

Pieces of scale armor, shaped like plates, emerged from his body.

In the blink of an eye, Zhang Fan transformed into an Armored Eel covered in scales.

“Earth Walking Immortal!”

With a thought, a layer of earthy yellow light emanated from Zhang Fan’s body.

Enveloped in earthy yellow light, Zhang Fan burrowed towards the riverbed.

Earth Walking Immortal was the Talent Divine Power of the medium-grade monster, the Armored Eel.

The power of this divine ability lay in its ability to liquefy the soil and minerals within a certain range around its body.

This allowed the Armored Eel to freely move through hard ground and minerals, just like swimming in water.

Earth Walking Immortal might not be that powerful, but in terms of its ability to travel through the ground, Earth Walking Immortal was absolutely extraordinary!

Relying on Earth Walking Immortal, Zhang Fan completely ignored the obstruction of silt and sand, and swam deeper into the earth.

Unobstructed all the way!

“There’s hope of escaping!”
