224: Chapter 224 Amazing Harvest

Looking at Wizard Minian in mid-air, Nie Ning hooked his finger. The Light Spear that was originally embedded in the ground suddenly turned its head and pierced into Wizard Minian's centipede tail.

Wizard Minian's eyes were blurred, her face showing an abnormal flush, and a soft moan escaped her lips.

Nie Ning's head was full of question marks.

'She can even enjoy this?'

With no time to think, Nie Ning directly detonated Wizard Minian's lower centipede body.

Green blood mixed with shattered body parts splattered everywhere.

Nie Ning summoned an Ice Shield to block in front of him.

Looking at Wizard Minian, such an attack surprisingly hadn't killed her; her centipede body, which had fallen to the ground, was growing wildly.

Seeing this, Nie Ning summoned the Jerky Bear Head, and the gushing black water enveloped Wizard Minian.

Little Boy's black water had a corrosive effect; back then, Little Boy had once eroded and suppressed the recovery ability of the Human-Faced Balloon.

Sure enough, under the suppression of the black water, Wizard Minian's recovery speed significantly decreased.

Taking this opportunity, Nie Ning summoned the god-forbidden ring before him. Countless Wind-Thunder Blade gushed out, burying Wizard Minian within the black water.

Suddenly, a green light shot out from the black water.

*Bang!*

The black water exploded, the Flesh Spider was sent flying, and a five-meter-long centipede leapt out from the black water.

By now, Wizard Minian's entire body had turned into a centipede's form, with only her head remaining, her eyes staring at Nie Ning with intense hatred.

"I want you dead!"

Wizard Minian reared up, and dozens of her appendages erupted with green beams, sweeping indiscriminately like lasers.

In an instant, the cave was being destroyed, with a steady stream of rubble falling from above.

Nie Ning erected several Ice Walls in front of him.

But the cutting power of the green beams was immense, slicing the Ice Walls into countless fragments in a flash.

Nie Ning could only rely on his speed to dodge among the narrow rock walls.

Realizing this couldn't go on, Nie Ning quickly retreated to the entrance, unfurled his Ice Wings, and fled toward the mountain peak.

"Don't even think about escaping!"

Wizard Minian roared with a hideous expression.

Her centipede body clung to the rock walls as she quickly bored an upward tunnel, chasing after the fleeing Nie Ning.

...

When Wizard Minian rushed to the mountain peak, she saw Nie Ning hovering in the air, not having fled.

Just then, four beams of light shot up around Wizard Minian's body.

A scorching aura spread out, and a massive pressure swept over Wizard Minian's entire body.

Blazing Sun Zenith Array!

Unable to adapt, Wizard Minian's body was pinned to the ground by the formation.

"Do you think this can trap me? You underestimate me! Don't forget that I am also a wizard!"

Wizard Minian gritted her teeth and forced her body up.

The water elements around her fluctuated violently, and the condensed Water Tornado clashed with the formation, making a sizzling sound.

Water vapor spread throughout the formation, making it impossible to see what was happening inside.

Then, a green light flashed within the formation, and immediately after, fine cracks appeared on the Blazing Sun Zenith Array.

Seeing this, Nie Ning's expression changed abruptly.

Wizard Minian's strength had increased too quickly; he hadn't expected her to be able to break even this top-tier Rank 3 formation.

*Crack!*

The Blazing Sun Zenith Array shattered, and a green beam of light shot straight at Nie Ning.

Scorching flames ignited behind Nie Ning, and a searing Lava Ray collided with the green beam, the resulting energy fluctuations shattering the surrounding rocks and trees.

"Hurry up! I can't hold on for long!"

The Crimson Feather Fire Demon spat out the Lava Ray and spoke with a strained expression.

Nie Ning's expression was grave as he reached out and summoned the god-forbidden ring again.

The god-forbidden ring flew before Nie Ning. He injected his mana into it, then summoned a Light Spear condensed from elements.

The god-forbidden ring spun slowly, the elements becoming increasingly condensed under pressure, and the Light Spear gradually transformed from elements into a crystalline state.

Sweat beaded on Nie Ning's forehead as he gripped this beam of light, which had almost turned solid, with some effort.

At the moment the Crimson Feather Fire Demon was defeated, Nie Ning threw the crystalline Light Spear with great force.

The Light Spear pierced through the green beam like a sharp sword and then stabbed into Wizard Minian's chest.

Wizard Minian's body stiffened, the green light around her dissipated, and her eyes looked toward Nie Ning and the distant sea with confusion.

"It's over..."

As Wizard Minian's voice fell, the Light Spear in her chest suddenly exploded, the terrifying elemental impact shearing off a section of the entire mountaintop.

Wizard Minian, who was at the center, was blown to pieces, leaving nothing behind.

Nie Ning breathed a sigh of relief at the sight.

Excessive mana consumption made Nie Ning dizzy, and his body wavered as he fell from the sky.

The Crimson Feather Fire Demon turned into a streak of light and flew beneath Nie Ning, and Heloise, on its back, hurriedly caught the falling Nie Ning.

As the two people and the bird landed back on the ground, Nie Ning finally recovered after resting for a moment.

Looking at the fragments of the Formation Plate fallen in the distance, Nie Ning shook his head helplessly.

The Blazing Sun Zenith Array was very powerful; it could suppress the strength of those within it and be used to prevent others from escaping, making it a top-tier weapon among Rank 3 items.

It was a pity that it was now destroyed.

Furthermore, with his level of expertise in formations, he couldn't possibly replicate another one.

...

After a short rest, the group returned to the underground karst cave.

Although the flesh and blood of those wizards had been absorbed by the statue, their clothes and other items remained.

After searching for a while, Heloise found the ice stamina lotus heart Nie Ning needed from one of the spatial bags.

Seeing this, a smile finally appeared on Nie Ning's face.

Although he had been screwed over this time, as long as he got what he needed, the loss wouldn't be too great.

After all, when venturing out on an adventure, danger could be encountered under any circumstances; no one could be sure that avoiding the search for the ice stamina lotus heart would have averted danger.

Next, the two of them took stock of the items, and the harvest was even more bountiful than imagined.

Not to mention the various materials, the number of mana crystals alone reached a staggering 1,300 mid-grade magic crystals, which is 13 high-grade magic crystals.

To think, previously, for a single mid-grade magic crystal, he had taken on the task of training Charlie.

The mana crystals here alone were enough for him to train Charlie for 160 years!

There were countless rare materials, as well as pills, sorcery, Cultivation Methods, and various books, totaling more than Nie Ning's entire net worth.

One could imagine how many people had been lured to their deaths here over the years.

Nie Ning and Heloise sorted the materials into categories and then divided them according to their respective needs.

Alchemy consumes a lot of materials, so Heloise took almost a third.

However, for Nie Ning, Heloise was very useful; the higher her Alchemy level, the better, so he naturally wouldn't be stingy with these materials.

As for the mana crystals, Nie Ning took ninety percent of them under the pretext that Sensen needed to eat them.

"What about me? What about me?"

Seeing the two of them dividing the loot with such enthusiasm, the Crimson Feather Fire Demon on the side hurriedly shouted.

After all, it had also put in effort; how could it not have its share?

"Oh, right. Yours is given to Heloise; she'll cover your room and board from now on."

Nie Ning said as if it were a matter of course.

"Why? Aren't you supposed to provide room and board anyway!"

The Crimson Feather Fire Demon saw that Nie Ning was fooling it and immediately started clamoring.

But Nie Ning and Heloise had already formed a tacit understanding, and their brains automatically filtered out the Crimson Feather Fire Demon's remarks.
