Aidan felt unhappy after Dustin rejected him so many times. However, Aidan was also a proud individual. Thus, Aidan wouldn't continue to pester him.Aidan was sure Dustin would give in when he was on the brink of death."Don't just stand there. You guys should go and help Jackson." Dustin looked toward the few Emberson Steel's disciples and reminded them.At this moment, Jackson was engaged in a back-and-forth battle with the frenzied Ryan.However, Jackson's speed and strength were noticeably depleting as he used his energy. On the other hand, Ryan showed no signs of fatigue and continued to fight in full force.If they continued to fight like that, Jackson would soon lose."Quick! We should go and help Jackson!" The few Emberson Steel's disciples exchanged glances. After drawing their sword, they rushed forward."Wait! Use this!" At that moment, Grace tossed a golden rope to one of the disciples.The golden rope was unusually sturdy. It looked special from how it emitted a gl
The sudden explosion caught everyone off guard.Especially when the energy wave hit, many martial artists were thrown into disarray. Instantly, moans sounded throughout.Thankfully, Jackson and the others managed to get away. Otherwise, they would be heavily injured if they were close to the explosion spot.When the dust settled, everyone found that the village head's house had been destroyed. The ground was filled with debris and wreckage.Meanwhile, Ryan had disappeared along with the tree. The only thing left was the Draken Rope lying on the ground.Plus, the ground was covered with black crystals that scattered around like cobblestones.Dustin saw that those crystals shot out of Ryan's body after he exploded.The smell of the crystals signified that it was made from blood. A normal human's blood was usually in liquid form, but Ryan's blood had become crystals before he died.It was an abnormal phenomenon.Dustin always thought he was quite knowledgeable. However, everythin
Aidan's expression was thrilled. Without a care for his image, he immediately picked it up.All of these were precious crystals worth billions of dollars! It would be a good choice no matter if the person decided to sell or keep it."Eclipse spiritstone? This is actually an eclipse spiritstone?""Guys, quick! Let's grab them!"At this moment, many people recognized the black crystal on the floor and quickly snatched it.Although some didn't know what was happening, they also joined in after seeing everyone grabbing it."I saw this eclipse spiritstone first! Give it to me!""No way! It belongs to me now that it's in my hands. Let's fight if you're not content!""Fuck off! I'll kill anyone who dares to snatch with me!"A place with interests would always create war.After knowing the eclipse spiritstone's value, everyone started to seize it. They were following the law of the jungle precisely.The capable ones could get a few more pieces, while the weaker ones could only obtai
"Ms. Linsor, did those two steal your eclipse spiritstone? I'll go and get it back for you right now!"After noticing what had happened, Jackson was prepared to make a move.If it weren't for Grace's Draken Drope, Jackson wouldn't have defeated Ryan. In fact, Jackson might even be killed by him."Jackson, there's no need to go after him! I gave them the crystals myself. I don't really need it," Grace quickly called out and explained after seeing Jackson ready to chase after them.Jackson was stunned. He stopped in his tracks, turned around, and asked in confusion, "What? Those are eclipse spiritstones. "It's extremely precious to us martial artists! It can increase your cultivation level. Even if you don't need it, you can still sell it for an exorbitant price.""I don't need money." Grace smiled faintly."Well …" Jackson didn't know what to say.Jackson had almost forgotten how rich Grace was. After all, she even had the Draken Rope.Thus, it was normal for her not to pay a
Ryan had already mutated just now. Thus, it wasn't hard to believe that the eclipse spiritstone was his flesh and blood."Even if the eclipse spiritstones were formed by Ryan's blood and flesh, what's the problem with it? Why did you say I cannot live more than three days?" Jackson asked again."The eclipse spiritstone has already been contaminated. You've seen Ryan's condition just now. He suddenly became crazy, lost his sanity, and mutated. "The eclipse spiritstones were formed by his blood and flesh when this happened. Do you think it's safe?" Dustin explained seriously."Dustin, this is your mere speculation. I'm afraid you can't convince others about something as serious as this. Do you have any evidence?" Jackson asked.The members of the Embersteel Order had picked up eight sizable eclipse spiritstones. Thus, it could be said they would have a handsome profit.If the eclipse spiritstones couldn't be used, they would be facing huge losses.Thus, Jackson couldn't accept su
"How … How could this happen?" Seeing the black mist in Dustin's hands, everyone was stunned.The eclipse spiritstone was fine just moments ago. Yet, its spiritual energy had been devoured in just a second!Everyone was stunned that a dark energy that was thinner than a hair could be so powerful."I didn't expect this thing to be so terrifying. How eye-opening!" Jackson gulped, feeling a bit scared.Thankfully, Dustin had warned them in time. Otherwise, there would be trouble if he absorbed the spiritual energy along with the dark energy in the eclipse spiritstone.Once the dark energy exploded, Jackson would probably have the same fate as Ryan."It's just as I thought. This thing is quite ferocious."As Dustin exerted more and more force, the dark energy surrounded by the energy barrier became ferocious. It surged and thrashed wildly, relentlessly slamming into the energy barrier to try and break free.They could faintly hear roars that resembled a beast's growls.It was ob
After an hour, Jackson walked into the hotel room carrying a whole sack of eclipse spiritstones and poured all of it on the table."Ms. Linsor, these are all the eclipse spiritstones that I managed to collect. This is around 70% of all the eclipse spiritstones out there. "Those who have the remaining ones are either uncontactable or they refused to sell." Jackson gave her a simple explanation of what happened.Initially, he didn't want to spend any of Grace's money. Hence, he tried to explain the gravity of the issue to those who had the eclipse spiritstones. Unfortunately, no one believed him. It was useless even when he tried to use the Embersteel Order's reputation to convince them. Most of the people he approached thought that he was a liar. They thought that he was jealous of them for having the eclipse spiritstones in their possession. As such, he was trying to steal the eclipse spiritstone from them by lying.In desperation, he could only follow Grace's idea of purc
At night, Deadlands was very cold, with a bitingly cold wind that stung the face. In the morning, it would become extremely hot, like a fire pit. If a person cracked an egg on a rock, it'd be cooked in a minute. The average person wouldn't be able to endure the extreme weather in Deadlands. They'd only be barely surviving, even with enough resources. The real test was on one's determination and the ability to endure stress.Dustin, Grace, and the rest of the team moved steadily forward, following Ryan's map. They walked from night till morning and vice versa. Due to their group size, the team wasn't going very fast. The good thing was that Grace had prepared everything well in advance, and the team consisted of only the elites in their own trade. They were able to resolve any trouble that they ran into quickly.As night descended, Grace instructed the team to set up camp when she found a suitable spot.They had been traveling for quite a long time, and everyone was physica
