"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 and in
“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 and high ra
“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 to
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 Red
Chapter 7 Universe Golden Cauldron "W-w-wait, wait a sec! " Tolly said with a nervous look on his face. But the scar-faced man did not stop. Instead, he lunged at Tolly as if he was going to tear him apart. “You are cruising for a bruising, little bastard. I’m going to skin you alive!” the man roared. Fortunately, Tolly was in a small frame so he was nimble enough to dodge his attack. Tolly managed to escape just in time. However, all of his men were also coming toward him. Hence, Tolly was cornered to the place in his yard near the cliff. “There’s no way for you to escape now, you little brat!” the scar-faced man laughed triumphantly. “Hey, buddy, I know you want money, but not my life. But to tell you the truth, I’m not a liar at all. I’ve got no money. You know, I’ve been just transmigrated to this new world. Everything here is new to me.” Tolly could do nothing but wear a smile on his face. “Transmigrated? What the hell is that? Are you taking me as a fool? You’re courtin
There was no response from Ding-ding, so Tolly was so disappointed by it. He had no idea what to do next. He looked around and finally fixed his eyes on the new three-legged cauldron tattoo on his wrist, which was flickering golden light. Suddenly, his eyelids fluttered. Astounded, Tolly felt like his whole body froze, for a data screen appeared right before his eyes. [Name: Universe Golden Cauldron] [Owner: Tolly McCoy] [Level: 1 as an ordinary alchemist] [Vital Energy: 56] [Spirit Heritage: level one but upgradeable] [ Main Art: Energy Absorption, but incomplete] Tolly gasped at it, his eyes bulging a lot. “Amazing! It’s real or just a hallucination?” Tolly wondered. Making sure his eyes were not blurry, he then rubbed his eyes a few times, but the data was still there. “Wow!” Tolly murmured, “Is it my new ability? Interesting!” He found out that it was pretty like those oldie-goodie games he had used to play back on Earth. Tolly took a deep breath. He was excited about
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
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
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 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.
“If you don’t want me to pinch you, now work on the antidotes.” Sally shot him a hard glare, arching her eyebrow. “See, time slips like water. Come on!” “Okay. I’ll embark on my journey to the higher level of my cultivation,” replied Tolly with a wide grin. “Don’t worry, I’ll make it.” Totally ignoring the wicked Ana outside his formation, Tolly sat down on the ground and started to mediate cross-legged, squeezing his eyes shut. “What are you doing, little punk? Do you think I run out of my means to attack you? You’re so naïve. I’ll figure out my way to fight against you soon,” shouted Ana, waving her tentacles wildly. “By the way, your friends only get forty-five minutes to live. I can’t wait to see them die before me.” “Shut up, hag!” shouted Sally, who stared at Ana furiously inside the formation. “What did you call me?” Ana went crazy, waving her long tentacles faster. If possible, she would like to tear Sally into pieces. The word ‘hag’ was simply more than she could bear.
“Ouch! Stop! I promise I’ll take out the book now!” begged Tolly with a smile. “All right, do that now, Tolly!” Sally smiled behind her hand, “Then I’ll let go your ear!” “There’s no need for you to treat me like this, Sally. I was just kidding!” In a fraction of a second, Tolly mumbled something in his mouth. And suddenly, a book suddenly flew out of his Infinite Space pack and started spinning itself unceasingly. After that, the book got bigger until it was as large as a normal book in the modern society. “Catch it!” said Tolly to Sally, “I’m sure we can find a way to make antidotes that can help David Dragon and the Five-headed Lion.” Sally leaped into the air and held it tight in her hand. When she was back to the ground, she glanced at the cover of the book where three big words greeted her eyes warmly: Core Pot Sutra. “Core Pot Sutra!” Sally blurted out in surprise, staring at the book unblinkingly. “It looks like you’ve heard about this book before!” said Tolly while star
Sighting that David Dragon and the Five-headed Lion would soon be wrapped up and dragged away by those tentacles around their bodies, Tolly gathered some of his vital energy to his hands. In an instant, two balls of fire appeared on his hands. Without any hesitation, he immediately pushed them toward Ana. “Pheonix Strike!” shouted Tolly. Those two torrents of fire turned into two flying phoenixes, which opened their mouths and tried to devour Ana. However, Ana was not scared. She just let them pass over her. Instantly, the fire was all over her. Yet, it could not hurt her whatsoever. “Useless fire!” sneered Ana, but her tentacles were going back a little because of the fire from Tolly. From every passing moment, Tolly quickly initiated his Upside-down Five-element Formation. He knew it was a good way to protect David Dragon and the Five-headed Lion from any further deadly harm from Ana. “The guide of my powerful runic formation, come on, try to protect all of us!” said Tolly calm
“Stop calling me the ugliest beauty, bastard!” bellowed Ana, her big ,thick tentacle raising higher, ready to attack its enemies at any time.She stopped scratching her head. Although having no idea which lion she should attack, she decided to attack the one right in front of her first.However, as her diamond-hard tentacle landed on it, she felt it was just like landing on nothing. In a minute, Ana realized that most of the lions shown before her was not real ones.“Damn it!” she fumed with indignation. “You’re a coward! Why are you playing such a trick? I know most of the lions before are just like your shadows.”Suddenly, all the lions before her raised their heads and roared once more. The roaring was so loud that it would crack the sky above their heads.Obviously, the Five-headed Lion launched a new round of roaring attacks. Presently, Ana felt her stomach was churning and she felt like puking. She tried to control herself, but finally she lost control and spat another mouthfu
In a few seconds, a creature with five headed leaped out of Tolly’s Infinite Space Pack. The creature turned out to be the Five-headed Lion, the spiritual beast that had used to belong to Mary, who had died a short while before. “Let me fight against the creature before you, Tolly,” said the Five-headed Lion in a rough voice. With that, it tilted its five heads up to the sky and roared, whose thunderous roars shocked Ana so much that she instinctively took a few paces back. She sized up the creature with five lions before her and then fumed, “Who are you? How could you call me a creature? Hey, I’m a human, and my name is Ana!” Yet, the Five-headed Lion roared into the sky again as if it had been laughing at Ana. “Human? You should look at yourself in the mirror. With tentacles crawling out of your belly, how could you call yourself a human? Even if you are a human, you are the ugliest one I’ve ever seen!” The same rough voice came from the five-headed Lion. While it was talking
