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
A red glow on the horizon. With the dreamlike and breath-taking scenery before him, Tolly felt it had brought a healthy glow to his cheeks. He was completely baffled by the fact that such a nice place, with a splendid view in front and a magnificent sight of the steep cliff behind, was considered to be the worst location on Fanta Mountain only because it was just a little further away from the very heart of the village. Perhaps the people here in Wesilver Village, though not having any experience of an advanced industrial society, would instinctively see whether or not there was more economic potential in their houses. However, Sally did not think as much as others, for she had already been accustomed to everything here. Despite the particular humble nature of the hovel, she liked it very much. At the little door stood a huge, glazed brown porcelain pot. When Tolly touched it, he felt an amazing chill in his hand. No doubt it served as an icebox to store extra food. Tolly also n
Taking a few Red Energy Pills from the wok, Sally quickly put them in her mouth. The little pills melted instantly, transforming themselves into a stream of vital energy, which swiftly circulated inside her body.She closed her eyes, feeling it flow through her every meridian and channel in her body. All of a sudden, she felt refreshed and reinvigorated.Then she slowly opened her eyes and said to Tolly gently,“You can also take one and check if the pills I’ve made are good or not.”Tolly nodded his head, quickly picking up one of the pills in the wok with his hand. When it came into his mouth, it also melted in his mouth right away.Tolly felt it was sweet. Soon, he also felt both of his nostrils were filled with a wisp of vital energy. it did go inside his body, but it didn’t circulate. Tolly could feel a sort of unknown power accumulate in his body, but it didn’t last long before it disappeared.“You need to keep working hard on your training so that the energy contained in the Re
