Sally waited for her demise in despair. Yet, that sharp drill did not land on her body. Instead, suddenly, she heard a cry from Ana.Sally immediately opened her eyes to find out what was going on. To her surprise, she saw Tolly was standing in front of her. It turned out that Tolly had acted on time, throwing a heavy punch at Ana, who was sent far away from Sally and now landed hard on the ground.“I won’t allow anyone to bully my dear Sally,” seethed Tolly, who turned around and gave Sally a smile. “Are you Okay, Sally?”“Tolly, I’m all right. I just thought I couldn’t see you anymore!” replied Sally, whose eyes suddenly were filled with tears. She was so glad that she was still alive.Tolly immediately wiped the tears streaming down her face and reassured, “Don’t worry, Sally. I promise when I’m beside you, no one could hurt you.”“Bastard! You’ve finally gotten out of your little shell and face my punishment,” fumed Ana, who started to send toxic gas through her tentacles again.
When the ten swords of various shapes and colors went flying toward Tolly from different directions, Tolly did not worry about it at all. he knew the powerful Everbright Pearl that wrapped around him was going to protect him. Sure enough, when the sharp swords from Abut landed on the light ball formed by the Everbright Pearl one by one, they just could not penetrate it. 'I've heard Everbright Pearl is known for its defensive ability, but I never expected that it would be so powerful, ' thought Abu, who stared at Tolly furiously. "Why are you keeping gazing at me? " Tolly mocked, "You think I'm the most handsome guy in this world, huh? ” "Nonsense!" fumed Abu, who had never failed to kill anyone with his invincible swordsmanship. This time, he did not want to blow it, either even though his rival had the protection of the fantastic pearl. "Be careful, Abu," a rough voice came from the ship of death. "I've heard Everbright Pearl has the most powerful defensive ability in this world
Sally was right—before Tolly was able to jump into his formation, Tolly soon found himself caught in the rain of fire swords coming from Abu, taking a direct hit. Apparently, the move named Blood Soul Slash was truly powerful since the protective luminous ball formed by Everbright Pearl was quickly shattered like glass. Before Everbright Pearl was able to form a new protective ball, those swords continued to try to land on Tolly’s body. Luckily, Tolly whisked himself quickly enough to his formation just in the nick of time, sparing him from harm. Finally, all Abu’s powerful swords landed on the surface of Tolly’s Upside-down Five-element formation, which was strong enough to hold the assaults of the swords for the time being. “Damn it,” seethed Abu, “that was so close. You are lucky, little punk!” Tolly turned around, staring at Abu with a smile, “If there’s one thing I’m known for, it must be my ability to get good luck. Now, it looks like your so-called Blood Soul Flash cannot pe
Tolly saw the terror in Sally’s eyes. He knew he had to do something to protect them from the possible harm.Though there was no method to deal with the powerful attacks from Abu, who was employing his hellfire sword—himself with fire all over, Tolly knew that all he could do now was to strengthen his Upside-down Five-element formation.Without any hesitation, he took quite a few Red Spirit Stones from his Infinite Space Pack as quickly as possible and then in a flash they were thrown straight at his formation.In a minute, his formation was glowing brighter with red light.Sally stared at it and murmured with her widened eyes, “It’s beautiful. Is it going to protect us like a solid ball-like shield?”“I don’t know, Sally,” Tolly replied, keeping hurling more Red Spirit Stone at his formation. “Yet I know my Red Spirit Stone will help strengthen our formation.”“I’ll break it into pieces!” suddenly said Abu, who leapt high up into the sky like a fire ball and came down onto the format
"Come on, buddies! Dig it out and we'll all be millionaires!" A jubilant voice came from one corner of a huge cave, which hollowed itself out of the mountainside of Westfort. At the time, the boundless sky was cloudless. There was nothing in sight but a burning sun, which was beating down relentlessly, sapping everything of its major energy. The hot sun cast its dazzling light over the majestic Mountain Westfort, turning it mysteriously golden. The silence was broken both by the passionate rush past rocks from the swift stream, a mountain torrent that tumbled itself like rolling melons and also by sharp clunks of machines inside the cave. There was a stirring of excitement inside it. It was Tolly McCoy’s voice just now. He, as a veteran gold miner, had spent many years toiling in dim dank gold mines in hopes of getting rich and leading a decent life one day. He had planned to settle down in a peaceful and quiet place, perhaps somewhere in Eastern China, basking in warm sunshine
“Wake up! Wake up, Tolly…” There was a faint cry in his ear. He saw nothing before him but darkness. He lay on the ground, unable to lift his heavy eyelids to see. “Wake up, Tolly! I won’t allow you to die…” A few hot tears dropped onto his angular face and streamed their way to his mouth. The salty taste made him cough violently. “Pfft…Pfft…cough…” “Oh, my god, thank goodness. You’ve finally woken up!” When Tolly gradually opened his eyes, what came into his sight first was a young girl crouching beside him with some tears still hanging on her two beautiful big round eyes. Rather dazed, who was she? Tolly wondered. He coughed a few more times, and his head still hurt. However, all of a sudden, tens of thousands of strange images, flashing like a movie, appeared in his mind. Odd enough, some memories that did not belong to him whatsoever flooded into his mind. He took a long, deep breath before casting a look straight up into the sky. In the distance stood lofty mountains
“Sword Swan is a swan with two sharp swords hidden under its wings. It is said that a Sword Swan can send its swords flying back and forth to slash off everything to pieces in ordinary hunting grounds except for Stone Turtles, which have the hardest shells on Goldearth. As the old saying goes, don’t trouble a Sword Swan until a Sword Swan troubles you, so Kevin must be wild crazy to invite trouble.” His head tilted up high, Kevin looked proud and seemingly did not care about the praises from others. Instead, he cast a dirty look at Tolly, with glimmers of contempt in his eyes. “Sally Addison, as an ordinary alchemist of the sixth rank, caught a top-grade Axe Arm Mantis.” The master alchemist Ms. Harmsworth said in a loud voice. When the result was reported, everyone widened their eyes in disbelief. “W-w-what? She’s caught an Axe Arm Mantis? It’s unbelievable! You know, Axe Arm Mantises are also known as the Mantises of Death. It is much more powerful than a Sword Swan when it comes
The elegant and slender woman, Ms. Harmsworth, was a master alchemist who taught at the school in the village of Wesilver and also worked as a supervisor in ordinary hunting grounds. The one Tolly had been dragged off to before was the only ordinary hunting ground in Wesilver Village, which was the least dangerous, but even if it was so, people died there almost every day. Not only did hunting grounds mean opportunities, but risks and dangers as well. Even in the ordinary hunting grounds, there were countless species of strange creatures, most of which were gifted with unusual abilities to fight. Some could spurt a stream of fire out of their mouths to burn anything to ashes in a second. And some could emit special liquids that drown or poison their opponents in a flash. Each of the creatures had its own way to fight. Of course, they also had their own special weapons to fight. For instance, a Fushi was able to fight with his long pointy beak to pierce through the body of its ene
