Chapter 608: Unveiling Treasures

The Shadow King and Mares were right in their judgment.

Just the presence of Mares was enough to deal with the two hundred level strong fighter from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe.

As they approached, Mares launched a powerful attack immediately.

The giant branches suddenly struck out.

Caught off guard, the Tree-Dwelling Tribe strong fighter’s reaction was nowhere near comparable to that of the two hundred and ten level strong fighter.

Even though he did not make a mistake and immediately thought to strengthen his defensive shield, it was still too late.

Mares’s attack demolished his defensive shield with overwhelming force, smashing his root system into pieces.

Having consumed high-quality immortal materials that greatly enhanced his attack power, Mares’s single strike left this opponent of the same level heavily injured and unable to resist.

With one more hit, he successfully killed him.

In a third strike, the strong fighter’s soul was instantly destroyed.

The Shadow King, who had been in hiding state, grabbed the Tree-Dwelling Tribe strong fighter’s Space Stone and swiftly led Mares to the area of the second two hundred level Tree-Dwelling Tribe strong fighter.

It took about twenty seconds to kill the two hundred and ten level strong fighter.

This time, it only took around five seconds to eliminate the two hundred level Tree-Dwelling Tribe strong fighter.

"What’s going on?"

The nearby Tree-Dwelling Tribe strong fighters were puzzled.

They could not understand why there was a sudden powerful energy fluctuation in a different location after the two hundred and ten level strong fighter had unleashed energy.

They quickly took out their communication stones, continuing to wait for a response from the two hundred and ten level strong fighter while contacting another Tree-Dwelling Tribe strong fighter.

Unbeknownst to them, just a few seconds after the burst of powerful energy, the Shadow King and Mares appeared right next to this second two hundred level Tree-Dwelling Tribe strong fighter.

They were just a few dozen meters apart.

Mares attacked immediately.

As before, he appeared below the two hundred level strong fighter in an instant, launching a powerful strike from a prepared position.

Before this strong fighter could react, he was unable to defend against the onslaught.

With two more strikes, he was killed along with his soul.

The Shadow King seamlessly grabbed the opponent’s Space Stone and quickly enveloped Mares, heading to the next target.

Third Tree-Dwelling Tribe strong fighter, fourth strong fighter, fifth strong fighter…

After swiftly eliminating six Tree-Dwelling Tribe strong fighters, one finally reacted and rushed toward the location of the energy explosion to investigate.

But the outcome was simply that he was killed earlier.

In total, it took about half an hour for twelve Tree-Dwelling Tribe strong fighters to be completely eliminated.

The entire process went smoothly beyond Mares’s imagination.

It made him feel that having a partner like the Shadow King, who could conceal his presence, allowed him to defeat any two hundred and ten level strong fighter, making the two hundred level strong fighters seem like mere ants.

Without a doubt, this was just his illusion.

Only the Shadow King truly understood that the smoothness of their success was entirely due to Yi Chen extracting all the luck from the twelve strong fighters of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe.

Otherwise, it might be possible to kill one or two, but when it came to three or four, unexpected situations would surely arise.

After successfully defeating the twelve Tree-Dwelling Tribe strong fighters, the Shadow King immediately brought Mares back to the area where Yi Chen was hiding.

“Now that it’s done, let’s set off for the Soul-Loss Star!”

With a command from Yi Chen, the Shadow King swiftly took him and Mares to their flying treasure.

Then, they traveled through the spatial rift of Stag Star to reach the Soul-Loss Star.

Without any Tree-Dwelling Tribe strong fighters watching secretly, they arrived at the spatial rift of the Soul-Loss Star smoothly.

“For now, let’s not rush to register for the new Death Duel. We need to collect some information to see what suitable opponents there are in the Soul-Loss Coliseum, as well as what levels of strong fighters are present.”

Yi Chen made the arrangements: “Mares, you handle this!”

“Got it, I will go now!”

Mares replied without hesitation.

“Don’t rush. We should wait until the Shadow King’s realm is slightly higher before participating for greater safety. A few days delay in gathering information is okay; let’s allow the Shadow King to identify all the Space Stones first and see if there are any treasures or resources you can use.”

Yi Chen raised his hand as his gaze turned to the Shadow King.

The Shadow King nodded, took out twelve Space Stones, and began examining them one by one.

Yi Chen also consumed some of his luck during this process.

However, the luck was spent on Mares.

Now, relying on the Heart of Time, the Shadow King had broken through to the two hundred and ten level and significantly enhanced his stealth techniques, which was only a matter of time.

In comparison, Mares’s strength was still not quite enough.

At the very least, with the Shadow King’s stealth abilities and the high-quality immortal materials that greatly boosted his attack power and effect, he could only ambush and kill fighters at the two hundred and ten level.

Facing the two hundred and twenty level fighters, an ambush would be suicide.

“Okay!”

Mares’s face lit up with joy.

He understood that his willingness to carry out orders without hesitation had begun to earn Yi Chen’s trust.

Otherwise, he would not have received the comment that if there were any suitable treasures, they would be given to him.

The resources he obtained from the Time Tribe and Ka Yue Tribe strong fighters last time also included many that were suitable for him.

Especially the Heart of Time, which could not only enhance the Shadow King’s realm but, if he practiced with it, could also significantly boost his own strength.

But Yi Chen had never considered letting him use the Heart of Time for his training.

Even if there were no suitable treasures among the twelve strong fighters, he would not be disappointed.

Because if there was one opportunity, there would be a second. The next time there was something suitable for him, it would surely come his way.

With the powerful capability that he and the Shadow King had to ambush and assassinate even the two hundred and ten level fighters, there would be no shortage of opportunities to encounter various high-quality treasures in the future.

As Mares daydreamed, not caring whether the Shadow King would have luck and pull out some powerful treasure, he focused on the extraordinary significance of Yi Chen’s decision for him, when a pleasant surprise quietly arrived.

After just scanning the treasures within one Space Stone, the Shadow King discovered a treasure that could tremendously enhance both his speed and reaction.

“This is a treasure made from the Ten Thousand Spirits Stone. With this, my reaction ability will vastly improve. I’ll be able to ambush a two hundred and ten level fighter and severely injure him before he even realizes it!”

Mares received this powerful treasure from the Shadow King, his face filled with delight.

With this treasure in hand, not only would his strength significantly increase, but it would also make it much easier for them to acquire more Space Stones in the future.

To his astonishment, within the fourth Space Stone, the Shadow King identified another treasure that greatly enhanced Mares’s attack power.

Before long, in the Space Stone from the two hundred and ten level Tree-Dwelling Tribe strong fighter, they uncovered a high-quality immortal material that could permanently enhance one’s comprehension.

The Shadow King readily tossed it to Mares.

This left Mares extremely excited, while his mind was filled with confusion.

He could not understand whether this was a result of his labor finally being rewarded after his luck had reached its limit and then suddenly rebounded.

Or if the Shadow King had endured hardships, rising from the strongest member of the obliterated Shadow Clan to become incredibly fortunate.

If it was his luck that had exploded, then all these powerful treasures had come from the Shadow King, and he was merely riding on his coattails.

If the Shadow King had become incredibly fortunate, then these powerful treasures were all suited only for the Tree-Dwelling Tribe strong fighters.

Only the Shadow King and five Shadow Kings could easily guess, upon discovering the first treasure suitable for Mares after connecting it with Yi Chen’s earlier statement, that Yi Chen must have expended a significant amount of luck on Mares.

This resulted in the Shadow King identifying all kinds of resources and treasures in the Space Stones, but all the valuable powerful treasures and resources were perfectly suited for Mares.
