I can find treasures in my dreams.

Space Island No. 275.

Blue Lion Bond, the superhuman, continued his performance even after using his artifact to kill two eyeless poisonous ants.

He looked at the half-corpse lying in front of him, and his eyes suddenly turned red.

The guy roared angrily and slammed his fist heavily against the shield covering his entire body.

"Keng!"

The shield suddenly emitted a faint light.

Bond brandished his full-body shield and shouted, "Guys, get back to my side!"

With this sound, one after another illusory shields emerged from within the body shield and flew towards the surrounding surviving superhumans.

They are only half the size of a full-body shield, with no patterns on their surface, making them appear rather blurry.

A moment later.

More than thirty Blue Lion ability users in the vicinity each had an illusory shield appear in front of them.

Each shield spun rapidly around the superhuman, clearly protecting them.

The eyeless poisonous ants all stopped attacking and simply scurried around, eyeing the blue lion-man men menacingly.

Although they are monsters, they are not stupid; on the contrary, their intelligence may not be much worse than that of humans.

Having just witnessed the tragic fate of their two companions, they certainly wouldn't launch an attack rashly.

A few kilometers away.

Standing atop a mountain, Lingya Heixing exclaimed in surprise, "This treasure actually possesses a group defense function; it truly is a remarkable item!"

It just captured an image of the full-body shield and performed a search using an intelligent search engine.

The search results are now in: "Based on the comparison of the image information, it can be determined that this shield is a piece from the collection of the Royal Museum of the Blue Lion Kingdom, and it is over 900 years old."

"It was first used by a baron named Mowbray. At that time, the baron had just received his fief and, in order to leave something for his family to inherit, he spent a lot of money to hire craftsmen to make a set of armor, which included this tower shield."

"The Baron also owned a very fine warhorse, and he ordered craftsmen to carve the image of the warhorse on the surface of the shield, so the tower shield was called the Warhorse Shield."

"A year ago, a large-scale theft occurred at the Royal Museum, and a large number of artifacts were stolen."

"Afterwards, the Blue Lion Kingdom dispatched a group of superhumans to investigate the matter, arrested most of the participants, and recovered more than 90% of the stolen artifacts."

"However, some of the cultural relics have been sold by thieves through clandestine channels and have not been recovered to this day, including the warhorse shield."

Black Star glanced at the search results and found it quite amusing: "I never imagined that Bond's most prized possession would be stolen goods."

It's entirely conceivable that Bond must have some connection to the theft ring, otherwise he wouldn't have obtained the Warhorse Shield.

Then this guy discovered that the warhorse shield had mutated and developed the method of dripping blood, which should have happened within the last year.

Meanwhile, the Great Xia's intelligence agency discovered that Bond might possess a supreme treasure, but no one had ever witnessed it.

This was undoubtedly because Bond knew very well that it was stolen goods, and therefore dared not show it to the public.

At this moment, the other crow flashed and disappeared without a trace.

Black Star looked toward Bond's location, waiting for his companion to make his move.

It muttered to itself, "A 100% damage reflection is indeed impressive, but it's not without its drawbacks."

"As long as Bond is not attacked with physical force or supernatural abilities, the reflection of the treasure will not be triggered."

"Since I can think of this, I believe the eyeless poisonous ants should also be able to think of a solution."

Its tone carried a hint of amusement: "Bond certainly wouldn't dare abandon the others to escape alone, otherwise his reputation would be absolutely ruined."

"Then he must find a way to organize his subordinates, which will inevitably waste some time and greatly slow down the evacuation, so Bond is doomed to die."

the other side.

Bond was also well aware of the treasure's flaws.

He shouted decisively, "Guys, if you want to live, come with me and get out of here."

The surviving Blue Lion ability users quickly gathered around him.

Without the protection of the illusory shield, all the Blue Lionmen were dead, and there were still thirty-seven of them left, including Bond.

Previously, a group of one hundred superhumans entered Space Island 275, resulting in heavy casualties.

Bond demonstrated some leadership skills, first using the intelligent AI system to divide the remaining superhumans into three groups.

Then he quickly issued orders: "First group, control the battle raptors and battle hounds to attack these damn monsters, and do everything you can to disrupt them."

"The second group will lead the way and carve a bloody path for me, while the third group will hold off the poisonous ants from behind."

Bond paused for a moment, then showed a sense of responsibility: "I will stand at the very back and be the last to evacuate the space island."

This statement earned him his trust.

The group of Blue Lion ability users did not raise any objections.

Bond decisively ordered, "Let's go!"

The team immediately sprang into action.

"Boom! Boom!"

"Boom! Boom!"

Gunshots and explosions rang out in unison.

The breakout began.

Bond's exoskeleton was damaged. Standing on a mechanical spider, he began to urgently contact the command center: "General Liu, we have suffered heavy casualties and urgently need the support of the Pioneer Alliance's elite troops."

This guy didn't say "respect" when contacting command earlier, but now that he's encountered difficulties, he's become much more humble.

The command center was in a bit of a dilemma: "The swarm of poisonous ants is launching a major offensive, and the battles on each space island are extremely fierce. Many space islands need support."

“We have never seen anything like this in the last four days of fighting. We did not expect this situation, so we do not have sufficient reserves.”

General Liu then changed the subject: "However, we are urgently organizing support forces, and the first batch of troops is expected to enter the space maze in ten minutes."

Bond felt a chill run down his spine.

Do I have to wait another ten minutes?

But he couldn't complain, because the command had previously advised him to evacuate, but he refused to leave, and the command had met all his requests.

Bond cut off the communication and roared, "More poisonous ants may emerge at any moment, everyone speed up!"

He added a deliberate reminder: "Watch your step! Be careful of those damn bugs that might sneak up from underground."

The explosions and gunfire became even more intense.

The ant swarm seemed momentarily stunned and retreated a short distance.

The Blue Lions seized the opportunity and sped up their advance.

A few kilometers away.

Black Star's high vantage point gave him a clearer view of the battlefield.

It keenly noticed a change in the ant swarm's formation: "The eyeless ants are about to attack; it seems they've found a weakness." Black Star decisively notified another raven: "Flash Strike, prepare to strike!"

"understand!"

Flash responded.

After all, the Blue Lionmen are nominally "friendly forces," and there are also a large number of drones closely monitoring the situation on the battlefield, so Raven cannot act recklessly.

The best way is to take advantage of the ant swarm attack and the Blue Lion's ability to break down, and then quietly kill Bond.

Even if the Blue Lions investigate the surveillance footage afterwards, they can't blame the Great Xia people.

as predicted.

Only three seconds had passed.

The eyeless poisonous ants launched an attack.

Dozens of poisonous ants suddenly opened their mouthparts and sprayed out clumps of pitch-black venom, which shot rapidly toward the Blue Lion Man.

The venom traced arcs through the air, silently dissipating and rapidly spreading into patches of poisonous mist that enveloped the Blue Lionmen's ranks.

The powerful protective capabilities of the Treasure Warhorse Shield can only protect the body of Blue Lion Psionicists, but cannot protect equipment such as exoskeletons.

This is the second drawback of the treasure.

soon.

The Lion King exoskeleton, modified by the Blue Lionmen, was severely corroded by the poisonous fog. Large and small holes appeared on the surface armor, many internal parts were damaged, and one exoskeleton after another became paralyzed.

Black Star watched this scene and couldn't help but comment, "What a bunch of self-righteous idiots! Exoskeletons must have sufficient mobility. If you hadn't modified your exoskeletons into heavy armor, you would have already withdrawn from the space island."

at the same time.

Taking advantage of the Blue Lionmen's confusion, another group of eyeless poisonous ants suddenly burrowed underground and used their earth-walking abilities to quickly sneak up to their prey.

They suddenly unfolded their upper abdominal carapaces and sprayed out an extremely viscous black liquid, covering the Blue Lion Psionicist's head and face.

Black Star immediately exclaimed, "These big ants are really smart!"

Smearing a viscous liquid on the face is neither a physical attack nor a supernatural attack, thus conveniently circumventing the protection of the Warhorse Shield.

Bond, sporting a strikingly large tower shield that emitted a faint glow, naturally became a prime target for attacks.

Six eyeless poisonous ants appeared near the guy and sprayed a large amount of black slime at him, wrapping him up like a big rice dumpling.

They immediately unleashed their powers, causing the ground to ripple like liquid, dragging Bond directly underground.

Black Star glanced at Bond and flapped its wings with unusual pleasure.

nailed it!
*
On the battlefield.

The moment Bond was dragged underground, he immediately panicked.

Although protected by the Warhorse Shield, the black slime was blocked by an invisible membrane, but he couldn't see anything underground, and his fear reached its peak.

He immediately activated the communication system via the metal nerve and roared frantically, "General Liu, I've been dragged underground by poisonous ants, I need urgent support!"

He also made sure to contact his country's representative stationed at the command post: "General William, I am in a very dangerous situation. Please urge the Great Xia people to take action!"

however.

A message in red popped up on the communication interface: "We're very sorry, your network has been interrupted!"

Bond's heart turned cold instantly.

The core component of the communication helmet he was wearing was a smart chip manufactured by Daxia.

The Blue Lion Kingdom simply doesn't have the capability to manufacture such high-end chips, so naturally, it can't replace them.

Anyone with a brain knows that the helmet was undamaged and the network couldn't have been interrupted for no reason.

Therefore, there is only one answer—the Great Xia people secretly cut off the chip's network connection.

at this time.

"Ah~"

A crow's cry reached his ears.

The Raven's Flash is coming.

Bond felt a jolt of fear and immediately realized that the Great Xia people had sent a spirit raven to kill him.

He began his desperate struggle: "My warhorse shield can deflect any attack. If you lay a hand on me, you will be the one who dies."

Flash's voice drifted over again: "Mr. Bond, I understand the power of the Warhorse Shield, so of course I won't lay a hand on you."

Bond breathed a sigh of relief, only to hear another sentence: "However, this 'Devouring Evil Spirit' gentleman seems to be very interested in you."

The so-called "devouring evil spirit" was a trophy that Yang Fan obtained after hunting down a powerful knight from the Primordial Evil Clan, the Demon Eye Clan.

This is a black stone jar, within which is sealed an evil being powerful enough to kill a mid-level knight.

The Demon Eye Clan knights wanted to use the Devouring Evil Spirit to kill Yang Fan, but instead, Yang Fan used them against them, and they were killed by the evil spirits.

next moment.

"Oh!"

Bond heard a cracking sound.

He shuddered, and the hairs on his body stood on end, because he sensed an unprecedentedly strong sense of crisis.

From a supernatural perspective, he "saw" a phantom, blood-red skull, radiating endless malice, floating towards him.

Bond immediately felt his body become heavy.

He glanced at his right hand, his pupils suddenly contracted, and a deep look of horror flashed across them.

On his right hand, wrinkles were clearly visible, making it look like an old man's hand.

This is a sign that vitality is fading.

In his shock, Bond had another thought in mind: "Why is this happening?"

This is clearly an attack, so why can't the Warhorse Shield deflect it?
Flashthorn seemed to have guessed his question and kindly replied, "Mr. Bond, the area where the Devouring Evil Spirit appears will become a peculiar realm."

"You can think of this as another world, where the passing of life force is a characteristic of this world."

"This isn't a direct attack on you; it's like air and water. Can a warhorse shield deflect air and water? Obviously not!"

Flashthorn added, "While the Warhorse Shield is very powerful, it has many weaknesses."

Bond didn't hear the last sentence.

His body had lost most of its vitality and turned into a horrifying mummified corpse.

Due to the influence of the evil spirits' domain, his soul floated out of his body.

The blood-red skull swept over, opened its mouth, and swallowed the soul whole.

Flash Thorn carefully sensed it and laughed happily: "Master's prediction was very accurate. Bond has the protection of a supreme treasure, and his soul will not be easily digested by the devouring evil spirits."

"At this point, he will be in a peculiar wandering state. Perhaps the master can truly create a miracle and extract the treasure from Bond's soul." (End of Chapter)
