400: Temporary retreat

Andre tossed the scorching bullet aside.

“I didn’t expect you to have a helper, but no matter how many people you bring, it’s useless. I’ve already received Gaia’s Divine Power, the Mother of Earth. Unless your Great Xia’s human ceiling comes in person, but it seems your helper doesn’t have that strength.”

An Qingyu’s brain spun rapidly; he had, of course, noticed that bullet earlier.

Judging from the power, the opponent was most likely also a Klein Realm master.

Although the Reserve Squad’s trip to Mount Kunlun wasn’t top secret, few people knew about it.

Could it be a bodyguard secretly arranged by Night Watcher Headquarters?

However, among the Night Watchers, there were very few personnel who both reached the Klein Realm and were proficient in thermal weapons.

One must know that the number of Klein Realm experts among the Night Watchers was very rare; everyone who reached this Realm was a big shot.

But if it wasn’t a Night Watcher, then who could the other party be?

Andre wasn’t thinking as much at this moment; no matter who it was, he just needed to pull him out of the corner.

Andre lightly pointed in the direction from which the bullet came, and those mountains melted into liquid as quickly as heated chocolate.

Si Xiaonan and Leng Xuan’s feet went empty, and they nearly lost their balance. Fortunately, Si Xiaonan reacted in time and immediately used [Wu Yuan Sha] to protect herself and Leng Xuan, floating in the sky.

However, the moment Si Xiaonan activated [Wu Yuan Sha], that power fluctuation was captured by Andre.

“So, it’s a trick? No wonder I couldn’t find you, but a trick is just a trick. You can’t just disappear into thin air, can you?”

With that, Andre manipulated the melted liquid to surge wildly upwards.

As long as he came into contact with those liquids, Andre would know the attacker’s situation through the feedback.

Seeing that she could no longer hide, Si Xiaonan simply released [Wu Yuan Sha].

She then created a decoy trick, directly transferring herself and Leng Xuan to An Qingyu’s vicinity.

Upon seeing the two figures suddenly appear, An Qingyu was first stunned, then recognized the two people.

Si Xiaonan and Leng Xuan!

Weren’t they taken to Asgard by Loki? Why were they here?

Andre also had questions in his heart.

“The God of Mischief’s Proxy and your… servant? Why are you here?”

Andre had dealt with Si Xiaonan and Leng Xuan during a mission, and as fellow God's Proxy, they were quite familiar with each other’s situations.

He sized up Si Xiaonan and Leng Xuan, “What, is the God of Mischief also interested in Great Xia’s Yaochi Wonderland?”

Facing Andre’s questions, Si Xiaonan and Leng Xuan had no intention of answering.

The two exchanged glances, and Leng Xuan immediately carried An Qingyu, running in the direction away from the battlefield.

Andre’s eyes narrowed, feeling something was amiss. He looked at Leng Xuan carrying An Qingyu, wondering why it looked like he was saving him.

Connecting this with the fact that the God of Mischief’s Proxy was also a Great Xia person, he instantly understood something.

“You know each other?” Andre shouted loudly, “Haha, interesting. If Loki knows you’re actually protecting a Great Xia Night Watcher, how will he punish you?”

“That’s none of your concern, but I am curious, when did the Gods of Olympus start becoming interested in the Yaochi Wonderland?”

Si Xiaonan extended her bandaged arm, and countless green Serpents of Deceit rushed towards Andre.

Andre was not afraid at all, “Si Xiaonan, if it were peacetime, I would still fear you a little, but I have already received Gaia’s blessing. Now, you are not my opponent.”

After he finished speaking, countless sharp thorns suddenly emerged from the ground, piercing through all the Serpents of Deceit.

The pierced Serpents of Deceit rapidly went limp like rotting flesh, and then, amidst the rotting snake meat, countless tentacles grew out.

They intertwined with each other, looking like moss on rocks.

Those tentacles rapidly spread towards Andre, and Andre had never seen such a thing.

He unconsciously frowned, “When did the Law of Mischief gain such an ability?”

However, to be safe, he still activated the power of the earth to block the invasion of those tentacles.

After all, simply from their appearance, they were not good things.

A trace of pain flashed across Si Xiaonan’s face. Ever since that strange Whisper appeared in her and Leng Xuan’s minds, whenever they used their abilities, they would occasionally be accompanied by this bizarre change.

This change was irregular and uncontrollable; even Si Xiaonan and Leng Xuan themselves couldn’t predict it.

But one thing was certain: once this change occurred during the use of their abilities, that indescribable call would constantly torment them.

Now, Si Xiaonan’s mind was already filled with those Whisper.

This gave her an immense headache. She had originally intended to continue entanglement with Andre, but she didn’t expect such a change to occur.

Si Xiaonan forced herself to remain calm. After analyzing the situation, she decided to temporarily retreat and rendezvous with Leng Xuan and An Qingyu.

Si Xiaonan didn’t even look at Andre and turned to leave.

This change left Andre a bit bewildered. How could the opponent flee again and again right after the engagement?

However, something unexpected happened: those strange tentacles actually corroded his earth barrier directly.

That thick giant rock wall, when facing those tentacles, was like weathered rock, crumbling at a touch.

“What’s going on? This power is a bit strange!”

Andre dared not delay and quickly activated Gaia’s blessing.

A pure earthy-yellow energy surged from deep within the earth, completely disintegrating the bodies of those Serpents of Deceit.

The earth inherently had the authority to decompose and recycle, but the method that had always been effective now encountered a wall.

The energy blessed by Gaia failed to completely decompose those tentacles.

Some remaining tentacles, like maddened beasts, charged towards Andre.

“Even Lady Gaia’s power isn’t enough?”

Andre turned pale with fright. He retreated continuously, and those tentacles kept pressing forward.

Suddenly, Andre was careless and bumped into an object. Just as he was thinking his luck was truly bad, those strange tentacles suddenly stopped moving.

Immediately after, a profound white light appeared from behind Andre, and that white light shone directly on those tentacles.

Like the sun melting snow, those tentacles turned into ashes upon contact with the white light.

Andre’s heart pounded. He looked back and found that he had retreated to the front of the bronze Formation Plate, and the light just now had emanated from within it.
