Chapter 554 The Terrifying Mountain Titan
Chapter 554 The Terrifying Mountain Titan
Jiang Han was still hesitating about whether to go or not, but now what's there to hesitate about? He has to go!
It would be a shame not to go, given the mission rewards. His main means of dealing with the undead are the two necromancers and the dragons from the dimensional world. He might not be a problem against an ordinary demon tribe or a super-level mage, but against a great monarch or a ruler of a different rank, his trump cards are not enough.
Therefore, he must seize this opportunity to strengthen his lightning element so that he won't be unable to support Long Da and Long Er due to a lack of powerful attack methods when encountering some tough opponents.
Just like the time I fought the Dark Sword Master before, if the lightning magic had been empowered by a Celestial Seed, no, even a Pseudo-Celestial Seed, I wouldn't have been in such a sorry state.
"Jiang Han, you..." Mu Nujiao felt that Jiang Han could agree, after all, it was a top-grade soul seed with several characteristics.
"A top-grade lightning-type soul seed! Do you want to go?" Jiang Shaoxu, the sly fox, rarely spoke up to offer advice.
Just after accepting the special mission issued by his mentor, Jiang Han heard the two women's conversation. He smiled and said, "Alright, I'll go with him a few days later. But, Miss Asharuya, please show us around from here."
"Of course," Asha'ruya replied with a smile.
Next, led by Asha Ruya, Jiang Han, Jiang Shaoxu, and Mu Nujiao visited the exhibits at the St. Mark's Auction.
During the visit to the exhibits, Asha Ruya excused herself to use the restroom and left for a while. The two women probably didn't think anything of it, but Jiang Han knew that she had gone to steal the black stone. However, Jiang Han didn't point it out, mainly because there was no need. After all, it wasn't a cultural relic of their own country, and the black stone was better left there than for Asha Ruya to take.
After browsing the exhibits at the St. Mark's Auction House, Azharia took Jiang Han and the others to a specialty restaurant to experience local Venetian cuisine.
As Jiang Shaoxu and Mu Nujiao interacted with Asha Ruya, their relationship grew increasingly intimate, and they eventually even exchanged contact information.
······
Tyrant Mountain is quite a distance from Venice in Europe, so after spending a few days in Venice with Mu Nujiao and Jiang Shaoxu, Jiang Han hurriedly set off for Tyrant Mountain.
The Tyrant Mountains are said to be named after a certain emperor from the ancient Roman era, but no one knows exactly which tyrant it was.
Upon reaching the outer edge of the mountain range, Jiang Han spotted Asha Ruya in the distance, dressed in a black, form-fitting outfit. To facilitate movement, she had her hair tied up. To Jiang Han's surprise, Asha Ruya had not brought any attendants this time. However, upon reflection, it made sense. The Black Dragon Emperor she was investigating was the guardian dragon of Wen Tai back then. If Yi Zhisha's subordinates found out, she would be in considerable trouble.
"Miss Asha Ruya is so comfortable with me?" Jiang Han joked with a smile.
"I would love to take my relationship with Mr. Jiang to the next level, but I don't know if Mr. Jiang would be willing." Asha Ruya gave a charming smile. She had investigated Jiang Han in advance. This guy was quite capable, but he had a lot of female admirers. But that was not a problem. As long as he could help her, she didn't mind sharing a man with others.
Jiang Han thought to himself, "Good heavens, is this still the same aloof saintess? Where did she learn such flirting skills?"
"Ahem, let's go check out the Soul Thunder you mentioned first!" Jiang Han coughed lightly and quickly changed the subject.
"I always keep my word. Feel free to contact me anytime if you need anything." With that, Asha's Ruya took the lead and started climbing the mountain. Her cautious and calm demeanor was evident in every gesture.
Walking through the Tyrant Mountain, teeming with demons, Asharuya remained constantly vigilant about her surroundings. And indeed, befitting her background as an intelligence broker, her alertness surpassed even that of an old hunter.
The Tyrant Mountains are home to a wide variety of demon races, and their density is very high. However, this unique environment is not very popular with veteran hunters.
The abundance of different types of demons means various dangers, such as demon lairs, poisonous barriers and fog, various traps, mazes, demon territories, and elemental polar regions. These all severely test the hunters' ability to adapt to different environments. Moreover, the deeper into the mountains, the more dangerous it becomes. Some treacherous places even have various demons coexisting, making them extremely troublesome to deal with.
In such a harsh environment, let alone searching for Soul Seeds, it would be extremely difficult for those hunter mages to even walk safely.
Asha'ruya and Jiang Han walked one after the other through the mountains, concealing their presence and avoiding the demons they encountered along the way. After walking for more than an hour, Asha'ruya pointed to a high peak in the distance and said, "The main peak of the Tyrant Mountains is just ahead. It's inhabited by some really big guys."
"Yes, we really need to be careful. I just found a huge footprint, which belongs to at least a peak Grand Commander or a Sub-Monarch," Jiang Han said seriously.
Halfway up the mountain, the two encountered a pool of water half a meter deep. If one didn't know better, one might really think it was just an inconspicuous pool. But Jiang Han knew that it was the Tyrant Titan that lived in the mountains. If they really encountered it, even Long Er wouldn't be a match for it, and Long Da could at most fight it to a draw.
Just then, the ground suddenly shook violently, followed by a deafening roar. Jiang Han and Asha Ruya then saw a gigantic figure hundreds of feet tall not far away. The pool they had encountered earlier was probably created by this gigantic figure.
"It really is a Mountain Titan!!" Asha'ruya said in surprise.
When Jiang Han said that the pool was created by a high-level demon, Asharuya had already guessed it was indeed created by such a powerful demon—Mountain Titan!
"Let's find another opportunity to go up the mountain later," Jiang Han said in a deep voice.
The latest novel is first published here!
"Mm." Asha'ruya nodded, and then her figure slowly dissipated and merged into the shadow of the tree.
"You're really fast." After saying that, Jiang Han used his teleportation ability and disappeared from the spot, hiding in a grove of trees a hundred meters away.
The Mountain Titan was busy hunting a hundred-meter-long python. The Mountain Titan was pulling the python with both hands, trying to tear it apart. The python turned its head and bit the Mountain Titan's arm, trying to make the Mountain Titan let go. Unfortunately, the difference between the two was too great. Its fangs, which were several meters long, couldn't even break the Mountain Titan's skin.
"Roar!!!" The mountain titan roared angrily, its arms clenching so hard that cracking sounds echoed from the python's body.
With a ripping sound, the giant python was torn in two by the enraged Mountain Titan, and blood kept scattering, making the sky look like it was raining blood. In an instant, the ground was stained red, and blood pools even formed in the low-lying areas.
