Chapter 1252: Abetting Evil Alice?
Everyone's eyes widened, staring expectantly at Jiangnan's hand reaching into the alternate dimension!
The next moment, Jiangnan's hand yanked out!
"Look! What's this?"
There in Jiangnan's palm lay a conch shell the size of a palm!
(งᵒ̴̶̷᷅ヮᵒ̴̶̷᷄)ᓄ๑
Its surface was covered in densely packed, intricate incantations!
Upon closer inspection, a chilling, murderous aura rushed forth!
Vaguely, one could almost see a divine conch of immeasurable size crawling through a sea of corpses and blood!
The earth was strewn with fallen soldiers, tattered banners fluttering in the wind!
It eventually exhausted its strength, collapsing on the ancient battlefield, leaving only its shell behind, absorbing the boundless baleful aura of the battlefield!
The crowd was startled by the aura emanating from the conch, retreating three steps in unison, faces pale!
Someone couldn't help but ask: "W-what... what is this thing?"
Jiangnan's expression was solemn: (･᷅ὢ･᷄) "If I'm not mistaken, this should be a horn crafted from the shell of a divine conch that surpassed its peak!"
"I've named it the Horn of the Divine!"
The crowd was filled with shock. Hiss~ The Horn of the Divine?
Jiangnan raised the conch and waved it, air flowing through it, producing a "Woo—" sound!
In an instant, the void rippled with a desolate horn sound, prolonged and mournful!
One horn call seemed to cross the river of time, transmitted from ancient times!
The spirits of the battlefield, upon hearing the horn, charged forward once more!
Those with weak mental fortitude immediately had their legs go limp, collapsing to the ground in fear!
Qian Benying swallowed hard.
(ŏ﹏ŏ๑) "Th-this Horn of the Divine... where did you get it? I never saw that fish-head monster use it?"
Jiangnan said smugly: (๑¯ิㅂ¯ิ) "Heh~ I was the first one to charge into the Lantis Spirit Ruins! What do you think?"
"Of course, I found it! Even this Godslayer Cannon of mine was picked up in there!"
As soon as he said this, the crowd buzzed with discussion, and Qian Benying was taken aback!
She vaguely recalled that after the space gate opened, Jiangnan was indeed the first to lead his team in! And he stayed inside for a long time before coming out!
Even Omega, hidden among the crowd, remembered that when Pang Badi led him charging in, Jiangnan was already running out!
Could he really have obtained so many treasures inside?
Jiangnan shrugged: ╮(•́ω•̀)╭ "Don't believe me? I'm sure many of you here participated back then, right? Wasn't I the first one to charge in?"
Rhode also gritted his teeth, though unwilling to admit it, the fact was exactly that!
Jiangnan grinned: (͡°͜ʖ͡°) "I'm a space-type, I have a natural advantage. As soon as I charged in, I looted Lantis's treasury!"
"My alternate dimension was stuffed full! This Horn of the Divine is just one of the many treasures!"
Hearing this, the crowd gasped and cast envious glances.
But Yao Hong beside him: (๑•̌口•̑๑)ˀ̣ˀ̣
Uona, Emma: ᥬ(Ŏ口Ŏ|||)᭄?
What the hell? You looted a treasury my ass, you know?
Didn't you head straight for the giant Origin Stone at the center of the altar as soon as you went in?
And then, before you could even act, you were chased out by Shark!
Where was there any treasury? Isn't this just lying through your teeth?
But where did this Horn of the Divine come from?
Alice was utterly bewildered.
(ˀ̣ˀ̣꒪▿꒪)
How come I didn't know our race had something like the Horn of the Divine?
Then Jiangnan turned to Alice, a fierce expression, frantically winking!
ψ(⃔๑⃙⃘ꆤ益ꆤ๑⃙⃘)⃕↝
Alice was stunned for a moment, but then remembered she needed Jiangnan and the others to help her reclaim power!
Suddenly it dawned on her!
So she spoke with a serious face, using human language:
(｡･᷅◠･᷄) "I took him there, precisely to thank him for saving me from dire straits!"
"This Horn of the Divine is our race's sacred relic, a supreme treasure! What Jiangnan said is correct!"
Jiangnan was laughing his ass off inside. As expected of an evolved one, she's sharp, that little head of hers works well!
Since the mermaid herself had spoken, coupled with the aura of the Horn of the Divine, the crowd was even more convinced!
Even Craig got goosebumps. He didn't expect that in just a short time inside, Jiangnan had already looted Lantis's treasury!
What a huge haul! No wonder he left so decisively!
Jiangnan beamed: "I don't care much for this thing! I'll sell it to someone who appreciates it! Three billion! Who wants it?"
Just as he spoke, Omega raised his hand directly!
(｡‾́ʖ̯‾́)۶ "My Haitang will take it!"
The room fell silent instantly.
Omega squinted: "What? You're not going to sell? Doing business should treat everyone equally!"
Jiangnan was ecstatic. I can't wait for you to take it!
But on his face, he wore a reluctant expression as if he'd just eaten something disgusting, forcing a smile.
(¯͒ㅂ¯͒ꐦ) "Why wouldn't I take money? Sold to you!"
With that, he casually tossed the Horn of the Divine over. Those around were startled by the murderous aura it emitted and dared not catch it.
Omega, suppressing his own fear, caught it with both hands.
Taking a deep breath, he put it to his mouth and blew. Sure enough, the desolate and tragic horn sound echoed again, making everyone's legs weak and hearts fearful.
(☍口⁰) "Brother! Stop blowing! I'm about to pee my pants! This thing is terrifying!"
_(┐「﹏ﾟ｡)_ "A mental attack? Incredible! No wonder it's Lantis's supreme treasure!"
Omega was overjoyed. He had gotten a fine treasure!
Although Haitang had made a move this time, they hadn't obtained the Origin Stone, and not only did they gain nothing, but they also suffered considerable losses!
Getting some ancient relics from Jiangnan was also excellent!
Jiangnan watched Omega's mouth on the conch and his hand holding it, a sinister smile spreading across his face.
(΄◞ิ෴◟ิ‵)
"Jiangnan! What else do you have that you don't need or don't care about? Let some leaks out!"
"Yeah! Just bringing out one piece? Too many wolves, too little meat!"
"You've got so many treasures yourself, let us have a taste!"
Jiangnan cleared his throat twice: (｡¯᷄ก¯᷅) "Alright, I'll release a few treasures today! Watch closely!"
With that, he reached into the alternate dimension again and fumbled around.
Then...
Then he pulled out a frying pan!
Silence fell like death over the scene.
Qian Benying glared: (งᵒ̌皿ᵒ̌)ง "Don't tell me this is also a Lantis treasure! Do they use frying pans? To fry fish on the seabed?"
"You're scamming us!"
Jiangnan retorted angrily: "What do you know?"
With that, he grabbed the frying pan and swung it at Qian Benying's head!
In an instant, the wind and clouds shifted. The bottom of the pan seemed to transform into a black canopy that could crush everything in the world!
Enough to smash and suppress everything!
Qian Benying screamed!
୧(๐˃̶口˂̶)୨ "Eeeek—don't!"
Then she grabbed Miyazaki and held him in front of herself!
Miyazaki: !!!
(◞꒦ິ口꒦ີ) "Wahh—wahh! Don't! Don't hit me!"
He immediately cried, struggling wildly!
Jiangnan stopped instantly, looking inscrutable.
(乛.̫乛๑) "Still dare to underestimate this pan now?"
"Alice! Tell them the origin of this Sky Dome Sacred Pan!"
Alice: !!!
Damn it! Sky Dome Sacred Pan? Can you name it any more casually?
I swear on my life, our Lantis race absolutely doesn't have such a treasure!
He must be lying! But I have to back him up!
If I expose him and he gets angry, what if he refuses to help me anymore?
Alice's brain went into overdrive!
(‧̣̥̇ớㅂờ) "Th-this is King Atlas's personal sacred pan. Back when Lantis hadn't yet sunk, the King, as a being capable of slaying gods, loved to use this pan for cooking!"
"He even used this pan to slaughter a god! This pan is stained with divine blood, passed down through millennia!"
Everyone was shocked! So mystical? No wonder the aura the pan gave off made people dare not look directly at it!
Even a Dao Heaven was scared into tears?
Jiangnan was overjoyed internally. Alice is absolutely amazing!
I couldn't even fabricate an origin like that!
Alice was about to collapse!
୧(;´༎ຶ﹏༎ຶ`)୨
I'm sorry! King Atlas! Your descendant is unfilial! Everything is for Lantis's prosperity!
Jiangnan raised the frying pan high: "Sky Dome Sacred Pan! Five billion! Who wants it?"
Immediately, everyone went crazy bidding!
Craig shouted urgently: (◞•̀益•́)ﾉ "Me! Give it to me! King Atlas's Sky Dome Sacred Pan must never fall into the hands of outsiders!"
Jiangnan hesitated: (||･᷄口･᷅) "Uh, well..."
Why are you butting in to be scammed, you idiot?
Craig urged: "For old time's sake, sell me this pan! I'll transfer the money now!"
Jiangnan's face darkened. It's precisely because of old times that I don't want to scam you!
With this situation, how am I supposed to explain?
If I slip up, this business is over!
Jiangnan forced a reluctant look.
(´-﹏-`(ヾ) "Alright, five billion to you then!"
Craig patted Jiangnan's shoulder.
(◞･᷄ヮ･᷅) "Thanks! I'll remember this favor!"
Jiangnan: ...
With the sale of the Sky Dome Sacred Pan, the atmosphere reached a fever pitch!
Then Jiangnan fumbled in the alternate dimension again and pulled out an inconspicuous black stone.
But on it were carved dense incantations. At a glance, though the stone was small, it gave one the feeling of gazing upon the rooftop of the world!
Majestic and weighty—a single black stone rivaled a primordial divine mountain!
(乛~乛)ᓄ "A God-Smiting Stone. Ahem~"
After speaking, he coughed lightly. Alice shuddered!
Can't you pull out something reliable, so I can make up stories easier?
What's with all these cheap things you're pulling out? Did you just pick that rock up from the roadside?
[From Alice's Resentment: +666!]
(づ﹏ど) "Th-uhm... this is our race's sacred relic, the God-Smiting Stone, specially used to smite gods! It can even ignore a god's semi-transparent body and strike with certainty!"
The crowd was horrified!
Whoa? The "gods" Alice spoke of are the Bose entities?
This God-Smiting Stone can hit Bose entities? Deal real damage to them?
In an instant, everyone's eyes turned red!
Jiangnan couldn't hold back his laughter. Alice, you're simply too good!
My plan to accumulate skill points relies entirely on you!
These "treasures," of course, weren't real. Jiangnan had sprayed them with Didiwei perfume in the alternate dimension before taking them out!
The special effects perfume doesn't just work on living beings; it's effective on objects too!
That was something Jiangnan had discovered long ago!
And scamming these faction forces gave Jiangnan zero guilt!
After all, those who could afford ancient relics were all top-tier powers, and they were all going to compete for Lantis's treasures anyway!
They were all enemies! Wolves and tigers who would devour people without spitting out bones!
Once the Juekong Divine Control Array broke and fighting began, they would definitely go for the kill against him!
Setting the stage now was always the right move!
The battle for Lantis had already begun!
Thinking this, Jiangnan's eyes narrowed. He cackled coldly!
