Chapter 527: Lava Power!
Brain Deficient looked at the dazzling Holy Light with some confusion in his heart. He was somewhat familiar with the capabilities of the Moon God Race and their aura wasn't strange to him. Although the Holy Light before him was indeed similar to the light emitted by Ri An and Ye Ji, he always felt something was off.
"Am I overthinking?" Brain Deficient pondered softly.
However, at this moment, the trees on both sides of the valley suddenly began to shake rustlingly as if they had come to life. The branches started to curl and clasp around the hidden Ghost Mustache of Remnant Visage, trapping them firmly.
Not only that, under the cover of the Holy Light, countless clay tubes spread out on the branches. These tubes were scorching hot as they twisted around the Ghost Mustache of Remnant Visage.
When the Ghost Mustache of Remnant Visage were entwined by the branches, they hesitated for a moment, unsure whether to resist or not. But remembering that today's task was to play along with Ri An and Ye Ji of the Moon God Race in acting, they only symbolically resisted twice before preparing to retreat.
However, just then, those thin clay tubes burst open, revealing boiling hot magma inside!
The magma gushed out, splashing directly onto the Ghost Mustache of Remnant Visage entwined by the branches!
When the scorching magma landed on the Ghost Mustache of Remnant Visage, it terrified them, for this was the magma from Si Hou!
In the eyes of the Ghost Mustache of Remnant Visage, the magma from Si Hou was known as the "holy relic of Fubei"!
This magma could not only devour human Spiritual Power but also was the nemesis of these Ghost Mustache of Remnant Visage!
Just like back on the withered mountain in the forest, led by Shi Renmei, the originally invincible Ghost Mustache of Remnant Visage were completely wiped out by Xiaohei, who wielded a breath soil water gun using stream water as bullets!
The magma at this time was akin to the stream water of Chen Hou, erupting suddenly from the breath soil tubes, catching these Ghost Mustache of Remnant Visage off guard. They had initially been thinking about how the Moon God Race was going to make their move but never expected the Moon God Race to employ magma against them!
"Ah! It's the holy relic of Fubei!"
"Ah! The Moon God Race is actually using magma against us!"
"Ah! Weren't we supposed to be just acting?"
Screams continuously erupted as many Ghost Mustache of Remnant Visage cried out in agonizing pain and immense anger. They had thought they were merely collaborating with the Moon God Race in an act, never imagining that the act would require them to stake their own lives!
The terrifying magma instantly swallowed the Ghost Mustache of Remnant Visage. Some had magma poured over their heads, and the searing temperature instantly melted their bodies. The black tentacles didn't even manage to escape; they were immediately gone.
In the blink of an eye, scores of Ghost Mustache of Remnant Visage were reduced to heaps of blackened charcoal, even their bones burned to ash. They had no time to react, not to mention resist.
"Your cooperative demise sure saves a lot of trouble," said Xiang Beifei, appearing very calm on both sides of the valley, controlling the magma in the breath soil tubes as if he was watering plants, targeting any Ghost Mustache of Remnant Visage trying to flee and blasting them on the spot.
No Ghost Mustache of Remnant Visage could survive the explosive burst from the breath soil tubes!
This magma was painstakingly transported by Xiaohei.
Actually, the transportation wasn't difficult; it was thanks to the breath soil's unmatched destructiveness and its strong malleability that they were able to scoop out the magma from the cavern, transporting it through pipelines to this valley.
Of course, the range of the magma was limited, and Xiang Beifei had initially pondered whether this plan would work, as the holy relic of Fubei was only effective near the Hou. However, it was clear that the coverage of Si Hou included this mountain range, so transporting the magma to any corner of this mountain range was feasible!
As for the earlier Holy Light and sounds, for Xiang Beifei, who possessed strong spiritual power, mimicking them wasn't difficult.
All this happened within a mere ten seconds. On the other hand, Brain Deficient, who was up in the sky preparing to play along in the act, also realized something was amiss. At first, he thought his subordinates were screaming just to compliment Ri An and Ye Ji's heroic rescue. But when his Orifice Perception touched his nearby subordinates, his face turned drastically pale!
His subordinates had died in droves in just an instant!
"Ri An! Ye Ji! You really have some nerve!"
Brain Deficient was beyond furious!
I played along with your act to the best of my abilities, yet deceitfully, you've shamelessly crossed the line!
We agreed to stage a show, but you turned it into reality, which is unforgivable!
By this time, Brain Deficient was steaming with rage, his black tentacles wildly lashing out. However, just as his tentacles emerged to confront Ri An and Ye Ji, a deluge of magma was immediately splashed over him.
The sudden appearance of the magma drastically changed Brain Deficient's expression, for his once rock-solid tentacles melted like snow upon contact, instantaneously dissolving and sending waves of intense pain throughout his body, making Brain Deficient involuntarily gasp in pain!
Still, as an adept of Orifice Transforming, he reacted extremely quickly. The moment the magma made contact, he immediately retreated, avoiding full-body exposure to the magma.
He leaped high into the air, but when he steadied his gaze, he found not a trace of the Skeleton Race in the valley.
The skeletons, initially defeated and incapacitated on the ground, had vanished in just a blink of an eye right under his nose?
Had Ri An and Ye Ji rescued them?
Brain Deficient flew into a towering rage—those two bastards were so utterly ruthless in their actions!
Just then, a crisp, bell-like yet deadly voice came from afar, "Ji Li, does the Demon Tentacle Race still wish to cooperate after ambushing us?!"
As Ri An spoke, he was already on the scene, glaring furiously at Brain Deficient!
The two gold-patterned bricks that just appeared were clearly controlled by a section of black tentacles, capable of manipulating the bricks and vanishing mysteriously, which had delayed them for a minute.
Even Ri An's holy sword was snatched away!
After the disappearance of the two bricks, both were severely infuriated and came demanding an explanation.
But upon seeing the valley filled with black smoke and magma everywhere, still not fully solidified, the two Meat-Winged Monsters were slightly taken aback!
"What happened here?" Ye Ji asked instinctively.
"You still dare to show up!"
However, Brain Deficient was already overwhelmed with fury. Seeing Ri An and Ye Ji appearing there, the rage in his chest surpassed even that of the scorching magma.
"Killing so many of my men, you're courting death!"
Red tentacles materialized behind Brain Deficient, their powerful presence sweeping towards Ri An and Ye Ji like a storm!
"Ji Li, are you sick?!"
Ri An and Ye Ji's faces grew pale!
