Chapter 3882: Heaven Hunting Crossbow
“Young friend Ling, this is information that our Zhou Clan has spent decades to gather. Who knows how much manpower and material resources we have sacrificed. Do you want to reap the rewards without so much as a scratch?” Zhou Mi said in a deep voice, still wanting to bargain.
“That’s right.” Ling Han nodded, honestly and without reservations.
Er!
Both Zhou Mi and Zhou Lou were rendered speechless. Who was this guy? Why did he not have the arrogance and haughtiness of a young man at all? He was astonishingly shameless, and he was not provoked at all.
“Hehe, there is no problem for you to want the information.” Zhou Mi suddenly smiled, “However, I can tell you very clearly that even if you were given the information, you would not be able to cross over Heavenly Clouds Mountain. There are a total of eight Demonic Beasts at the Core Formation Tier there, and each of them has blocked a path out of the mountains. Hence, at least, you would have to kill one first.”
“It’s not that I look down on you, young friend, but aside from being able to restrain lightning-element mystical power, could it be that you’re immune to other powers?”
Old fox.
Ling Han thought internally, but his expression did not change, “Oh, then does Clan Leader Zhou have any good suggestions?”
“Cooperate.” He smiled carefully, “If you help us clean up the Heavenly Clouds Mountain, then naturally, everyone would be happy.”
What the Zhou Clan wanted was to eternally pass through the passageway of the Heavenly Cloud Mountain, and not temporarily. Otherwise, they would be able to kill off one of the weaker vicious beasts of Core Formation Tier, but not too long after, a new Beast King would appear, and once again become a roadblock for them.
Thus, only by completely occupying the Heavenly Clouds Mountain would they be able to settle the matter once and for all.
Ling Han laughed in spite of himself, “Just now, Clan Leader Zhou has already said that I am no match for any beast king. Why is it that all of a sudden, you need my help again?”
Zhou Mi laughed loudly, “Then there is naturally a reason for it.”
Zhou Lou continued, “Our Zhou Clan has developed a weapon with astonishing might, capable of killing top grade Core Formation Tiers. However, that weapon needs an incredibly pure Lightning Ore to be able to channel. Going by the present rate of progress, it is possible that it would take another two to three hundred years to be successfully extracted. Thus, we need young friend to control this weapon.”
Ling Han had astonishing control over lightning. Who knows, he may be able to do something that was difficult for ordinary people to do.
Yi, the Zhou Clan actually had such a secret weapon?
“Furthermore, after leaving the Heavenly Clouds Mountains, that would be the Demonic Origin Realm. Elites are everywhere, and with your Cauldron Forging Tier cultivation level, you would not be able to claim a stand at all.” Very carefully, he continued, “However, if our Zhou Clan can pass through the Heavenly Clouds Mountains, and establish our own branch in the Demonic Origin Realm, we would be able to become your backer.”
“I’ll consider it.”
Ling Han paused slightly. He felt that it should not be too difficult for him to cross the Heavenly Clouds Mountain, because he had the Void Beast hide, but it was hard to say for the others.
More importantly, where exactly was the empress and the others?
Perhaps they were not in this area, or perhaps they were in this area. It was just that they had not rushed over yet.
Then if he left alone, wouldn’t he have trapped the empress and the others here?
Additionally, he also wanted to take a look at that deadly weapon. It was actually capable of killing an ultimate Core Formation Tier. If he could steal it while he was at it, he would have another trump card in the future.
“If that so-called deadly weapon really has such might, then let’s cooperate,” Ling Han said.
“All right!” Both Zhou Lou and Zhou Mi smiled at the same time.
Very soon, Ling Han saw this deadly weapon.
This was a crossbow, and it was only fitted with three arrows. Because whether it was the body of the crossbow or the arrow itself, the materials used to forge it were all rare treasures.
Ling Han could tell with a single glance that this was a Four Star Divine Metal.
Thus, merely forging this crossbow and the three arrows, the Zhou Clan should have spent innumerable time and effort.
The crossbow was a Spirit Tool, but it needed to be injected with energy to push the arrow to explode with terrifying destructive power.
And this energy source was the Lightning Ore – not the kind that had been mined, but rather purified. Because it required a short period of super-input, only then would it be able to kill a Core Formation Tier.
The requirement for the purity of this energy was too high, so even the Core Formation Tier elites such as Zhou Lou and the others couldn’t do it. Although they should have been the ones to control it when designing it, they discovered that they couldn’t activate it at all after forging it. In other words, the effects were far from what they expected.
In Ling Han’s mind, though his cultivation level was only at the Cauldron Forging Tier, his lightning energy was too pure, so perhaps it could be used.
This was natural, because that was not Ling Han’s power at all, but rather the light of lightning in the Celestial Cauldron, the source of all Lightning Ore.
If even Ling Han couldn’t do it, then there should be no one who could activate it.
Ling Han began to experiment. He mounted an arrow, then injected power into the crossbow. Bit by bit, there was a pool of energy in the crossbow, which was presently slowly filling up. Ten minutes later, the energy pool was filled to the brim.
Ling Han didn’t attack at the first instant. Instead, he waited for another five minutes, then aimed at the target in front of him and pressed the switch.
Boom, an arrow was shot out.
Fast, like the lightning in the skies, leaving behind traces of lightning behind it. Then, with a loud bang, a mountain ahead of them was directly gone.
All of a sudden, all the members of the Zhou Clan that had followed him here, including Zhou Lou, all had their mouths agape, completely rendered speechless.
This attack was practically world-shaking.
“It’s probably at the early stage of the True Self Tier,” Zhou Mi deduced. He hadn’t seen a True Self Tier before, so he could only speculate based on his cultivation level.
“Killing a top grade Core Formation Tier elite would be as easy as the turn of a palm.”
“Destroying the Heavenly Clouds Mountain would be as easy as blowing off dust.”
“Haha, who would be able to stand against our Zhou Clan now?”
The members of the Zhou Clan were all very excited. Of course, someone immediately charged out and retrieved the arrow. There were only a total of three arrows, so they naturally had to
be recycled.
Even Song Lan was extremely stunned.She had not thought that this Heaven Hunting
Crossbow would actually be able to unleash such terrifying might in Ling Han’s hands.
“Young friend Ling, let us have a pleasant cooperation.” With a smile, Zhou Mi stretched out
his hand.
Ling Han also stretched out his hand, and shook hands with the other.
He naturally wouldn’t work for them for nothing. Although he also wanted to cross the Heavenly Clouds Mountain, it was only natural that he would receive some benefits. He
couldn’t be soft-hearted.
The Zhou Clan also knew his value, and immediately delivered a great many Celestial medicines, and promised Ling Han that after conquering the Heavenly Clouds Mountain,
their gains would be shared equally with Ling Han.
-Not only were there fierce beasts in the Heavenly Clouds Mountain, there were also Celestial medicines. However, fierce beasts were too frightening. If one wanted to harvest Celestial medicines here, he would usually have to pay with his life.
The Zhou Clan began to contact those outsiders, hoping that everyone could cooperate. After passing through the Heavenly Cloud Mountain, the path ahead would still be wide.
This was beneficial for all of them. Thus, the outsiders also decided that they would flatten the Heavenly Clouds Mountain with the Zhou Clan.
“Brother Ling, do you really trust the Zhou Clan?” Song Lan came to pay him a visit, very
calm, looking ethereal.
However, Ling Han knew that even though this little girl looked as beautiful as a celestial maiden and unshackled by the mortal world, she was actually extremely scheming. She had a
lot of tricks up her sleeve.
He smiled, “Why not?”
“I heard that there are a great many Celestial medicines in Heavenly Clouds Mountain. In fact, they can even help a Core Formation Tier cultivator advance one step further. Do you think that the Zhou Clan would be willing to surrender such Celestial medicines to us?” Song Lan
asked calmly.
