Give Star Iron a little MC shock

Jingyuan, Walter, and Danheng exchanged a glance, tacitly deflected the branches that were attacking them, and quickly retreated.

Although they didn't know why Xing He wanted them to retreat, they could tell from the terrifying appearance of the creature Xing He had just summoned.

Trusting Xing He's words was undoubtedly the right choice.

As soon as everyone retreated, the Withered Spirit, whose body was still shimmering with white light, suddenly exploded with itself as the center.

All the branches affected by the explosion were completely destroyed, but a few black rose bushes appeared on the ground.

Jing Yuan and the others, who had just retreated to the rear, turned around and saw this astonishing scene.

Jing Yuan looked at the three-headed monster with some surprise and muttered, "How could a single explosion make those endlessly growing branches disappear in an instant?"

Although Jingyuan himself could do the same, he used absolute power to completely shatter all the branches, leaving them no chance to regenerate.

But the withered spirit before him was different; Jing Yuan could sense a certain absolute restraint of [Abundance] emanating from it.

Withered Spirit slowly turned its three heads to look at the Abundant Black Deer not far away. As soon as the Abundant Black Deer made eye contact with Withered Spirit, it instinctively felt fear and growled as it retreated. But before it could take a few steps back, Illusion, which was flying above it, scolded it.

"Don't back down! It's just a monster summoned by that Star Core brat, what are you afraid of!"

After hesitating for a moment, the Abundant Black Deer finally mustered its courage and stepped forward, letting out a threatening growl at the Withering Spirit.

Just when everyone thought that the Withered Spirit was being provoked by the Abundant Black Deer and a great battle was about to begin, a huge phantom suddenly appeared.

[Destruction] Nanuk's phantom appeared, and He lowered His head to cast a brief glance at the Wither.

Almost the instant Nanuk's phantom appeared, a centaur-like phantom also emerged opposite him.

He drew back his longbow, looking ready to fire.

Walter and his group were also astonished by this scene: "[Hunter] Lan? [Destruction] Nanuk? The two Star Gods actually appeared at the same time because of the monsters summoned by the Star Core?"

Jing Yuan glanced intently at Lan, then narrowed his eyes and looked at Nanuk opposite him. He then said in a deep voice, "That monster only attracted Nanuk. The [Hunting] only appeared because of Nanuk's appearance."

Upon seeing the phantoms of the two star gods appear, Jing Yuan couldn't help but feel worried.

If the two Star Gods were to go to war, Luo Fu would be doomed; he would certainly not be able to save it.

When Huanlong saw the appearance of [Destruction] Nanuk, he quickly and respectfully lowered his head, secretly delighted.

[Destruction] has arrived! The Star Core Imp is doomed to die today!

However, things didn't go as planned. Nanuk only glanced at the Wither Spirit before gradually disappearing. [Hunter] Lan glanced down at Huanlong, then looked at Jingyuan and the others, before finally disappearing as well.

Jing Yuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the phantoms of the two star gods disappear.

With Xing He and the others present, he was confident that he could defeat Huanlong while minimizing Luofu's losses. However, if it were a clash between [Hunter] and [Destruction], Jing Yuan felt that he could start recording his last words in advance.

Even an Envoy wouldn't survive participating in a battle between two Star Gods at such close range.

On the other hand, after being glanced at by Nanuk, the Wither gradually grew larger, expanding from the size of two people to the size of the Abundant Black Deer.

Upon seeing this, the Abundant Black Deer immediately lowered its head in fear towards the Withering Spirit.

"Uh-huh-huh."

Chapter 97 Aha: Holy crap? [Destruction] fighting [Destruction]? I need to sit up and watch!

Faced with the bowed head of the Abundant Black Deer, the Withered Spirit roared and shot a pitch-black withered head at it.

The Wither Spirit's sudden attack caught the Bountiful Black Deer off guard, and the Wither Skull crashed into it and exploded.

The belly of the bountiful black deer was instantly blown to pieces, and black mist was spitting out from the wound.

The abundant black deer let out a low cry and desperately raised its head to call out to Huanlong, as if asking her to help treat it with the Jianmu tree.

Huanlong immediately activated the power of Jianmu to try to heal the Abundant Xuanlu. However, no matter how much power Jianmu poured into it, the wound on the Abundant Xuanlu's abdomen did not improve at all, as if something was constantly devouring the Abundant Xuanlu's life force at the wound site.

After launching a Wither Skull, the Wither Spirit did not stop. Instead, it charged towards the Bountiful Black Deer, flying slightly above its head and frantically launching Wither Skulls downwards.

Each time the Withered Skull explodes on the Bountiful Black Deer, it leaves another wound on its body that cannot heal.

The Abundant Black Deer also kept screaming in agony. Seeing itself beaten and covered in wounds, the Abundant Black Deer became desperate. Its anger overwhelmed its fear of the Wither Spirit, and it manipulated the plants around it to swing vines at the Wither Spirit.

However, the vines that struck the Wither did not leave a single wound. Instead, they withered rapidly upon contact with the Wither's body, falling to the ground and transforming into a withered rose.

Xing He, who was watching from a distance, couldn't help but mutter a curse under his breath when he saw this scene.

"Damn it, has the Wither been buffed by Nanuk? How can it apply the Wither buff to the attacker when it takes damage?"

Xing He immediately recognized the scene of the vines withering quickly after attacking the Wither; it was obvious that the vines were affected by the Wither buff.

This is an ability that the original Wither does not possess.

"What's wrong, Xing He? Isn't it a good thing for us that the monster is getting stronger? After all, you're the one who summoned it."

March 7th was still unaware of the seriousness of the situation, assuming that Wither Spirit was a helper summoned by Xing He, just like Iron Brother.

Dan Heng, who had also fought alongside Tie Ge, frowned after glancing at the brutal devastation.

“Something’s not right. If it were similar to the giant thing Xing He summoned earlier, it should have attracted [protection], but instead it attracted [destruction]. Which beings do you think Nanuk will turn his attention to?”

Everyone was stunned upon hearing this, and their expressions grew increasingly grim.

On March 7th, disbelieving, she turned to Xing He and asked eagerly, "Xing He, tell me quickly, you can control that monster, right?"

Xing He helplessly spread his hands and said, "No, I can't control it. Even if it saw me, it would desperately try to kill me."

March 7th paused for a moment, then rubbed her hair in a state of near despair: "Then why did you summon it?! Isn't this just making things worse for us?!"

Xing He spread his hands somewhat innocently: "I summoned it to help me work and deal with Huanlong and that Bountiful Black Deer. Even if it can't beat Huanlong, I can still finish it off. The loot dropped by the Wither Spirit is quite important to me. I just didn't expect it to attract Nanuk."

Walter frowned, looking at the Withering Spirit being crushed by the Abundant Black Deer in the distance, and said in a deep voice, "Just as Xing He said, summoning the Withering Spirit is indeed more beneficial than harmful. A monster that only knows how to kill and has no brains is much easier to deal with than the Illusionary Spirit who is good at playing tricks and manipulating people's hearts."

"Exactly, exactly, this is so much fun, hahaha."

Everyone was taken aback when they heard the strange-sounding voice that suddenly came from behind them. They turned to look behind the source of the voice, but there was no one or anything there.

"Did someone just speak?"

"I didn't see it."

Xing He glanced at his companions around him, then looked at a smiling mask that floated in front of him with a strange expression.

"Are you talking?"

"Haha, I accidentally let everyone hear me, eh?"

"Xing He, who are you talking to?" San Yueqi saw Xing He staring straight ahead with a strange expression, as if there was something in front of him.

Xing He narrowed his eyes, quickly drew his Flame Spear from his backpack, and stabbed it at the smiling mask in front of him.

Suddenly, the smiling mask grew larger, and the flaming spear pierced straight through the mask's eye sockets.

"Haha, missed... Ouch? Didn't you miss? Why does it hurt? Haha, interesting!"

The smiley mask quickly retreated and detached from the flame spear, then flew back to Xing He.

"Kid! You're really interesting! You have so many fun things about you! And you have the aura of so many familiar faces, how interesting!"

As if making a decision, the mask suddenly flew towards Xing He's empty left hand and landed in his hand.

Xing He stared blankly at the white smiley face mask on his left hand.

What does this strange mask mean?

"Huh? Xing He, what are you holding in your hand? A mask?"

Suddenly, everyone noticed that Xing He had a white smiling mask in his left hand.

After glancing at it twice, Jing Yuan and Walter were somewhat surprised and blurted out.

"The Fool's Mask? [Joy] is here too?"

Jing Yuan looked at Xing He, who was holding the Fool's Mask, with a complicated expression: "Xing He, you are really... popular. But being noticed by [Pleasure], I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse."

Dan Heng glanced at Xing He with some concern and asked, "Can we throw this mask away?"

Xing He tried to throw it out with force, but the next second, the mask returned to his hand like a frisbee brought back by a puppy.

Xing He shook his head: "No, this mask is like a dog's; it even finds its own way."

Startled by Xing He's words, March 7th quickly covered his mouth with her hand, putting her index finger to her lips: "Shh! What if [Joy] gets angry if he hears you say that?"

"That won't happen."

Danheng shook his head, dismissing March 7's concerns: "[Joy] wouldn't be angry about something like this; perhaps He would find it quite amusing?"

Xing He stared at the Fool's Mask in his hand with a strange expression: "Really? You, a dignified Star God, actually like to act like a dog? Go, and remember to fly back yourself."

After saying that, Xing He moved away from the crowd, then used all his strength to throw the Fool's Mask with a forceful throw. The Fool's Mask in his hand created a sonic boom and quickly disappeared into the horizon.

A moment later, the Fool's Mask really did slowly fly back. Xing He wondered if it was just his imagination, but the smile on the mask seemed to have turned up slightly.

Chapter Ninety-Eight: Thrusting Hard into Huanlong's Buttocks

[The Fool's Mask: Wearing it grants a random level of power, aha, but what's the price?]

Looking at the item descriptions provided by the system, Xing He couldn't help but wonder if Aha had bribed the system. Was this kind of unique item description really something that cold, impersonal system would provide?

To be honest, after reading the item's description, Xing He really wanted to try it on. Of course, he wasn't curious about the power, but rather what price he would have to pay.

die?

That would be too boring.

However, now is not the time to study the side effects of the mask. The Wither is a treasure trove, and he cannot watch it be killed by someone else.

While Xing He and his friends leisurely watched the show from a distance, they took a look at the other side.

The Abundant Black Deer, its eyes red with rage from the pain, relentlessly spawned various plants nearby to lash out at the Wither Spirit, while simultaneously using its powerful antlers to try and ram the Wither Spirit flying above it.

However, the Wither Spirit seemed to be teasing the Abundant Black Deer, constantly adjusting its height to maintain a delicate distance between itself and the Abundant Black Deer, just enough to keep them from hitting each other.

Jing Yuan frowned as he looked at the Abundant Black Deer, which was constantly on the defensive.

The stronger the Wither becomes, the more trouble they will have to deal with it.

After several minutes of being unilaterally and thoroughly beaten by the Withering Spirit, the Abundant Black Deer let out a mournful howl and collapsed to the ground, its body completely mangled.

His originally bluish skin was now completely black, making him look extremely sinister.
