Chapter 1629: A Declaration of War?

"Put it on your head? That's two lives! You make it sound so easy..."

Xu Xiao rolled her eyes, clearly not wanting to agree to Ma Han's request.

But just as she was about to refuse, the tentacles that had spread around her suddenly went off with alarms.

Danger is coming from above!

And it’s fast!

"Get away!"

Xu Xiao's pupils contracted sharply, and she shoved Ma Han away from her.

The next instant, an iron pillar as thick as an adult's thigh pierced straight down, splitting rocks and cracking the ground!

"grass!"

As Ma Han fell, he stared at the iron pillar, glowing with a dark red light, stuck straight in his crotch, and cold sweat instantly soaked his back!

Just imagine,

If Xu Xiao had been a few seconds slower, Ma Han would have been turned into a skewer today!

wrong,

That thick iron pillar would probably smash him into a bloody mess!

Those scoundrels secretly watching,

Have you finally given up and decided to take action?

"Damn it, what kind of skill is it to resort to underhanded tricks? If you have the guts, come out and face your Grandpa Ma head-on!"

Ma Han did a somersault, then a somersault, and with a pull of his arms, a flaming longbow appeared instantly.

Flames roared above it, creating an imposing sight!

The flickering flames spread from Ma Han's arms all the way down to his neck, finally converging in front of his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, his pupils had turned a fiery red, like burning charcoal!

Visual enhancements, increased agility!

However, after looking around, Ma Han failed to find any potential targets.

Only his roars echoed around him.

The sky above was clear and bright, with a bright moon and few stars.

Apart from that ring stretching across the sky, the entire sky was so clear that there wasn't even a single cloud.

"Hidden from sight?"

Puzzled, Ma Han immediately prepared to extend his mental tentacles to investigate.

But when he noticed Xu Xiao, who looked equally bewildered, out of the corner of his eye, he quickly abandoned the idea.

Even a Chosen One with such strong mental power as Xu Xiao couldn't lock onto the target.

With his limited mental strength, what could he possibly discover?

Despite his thoughts, Ma Han still asked aloud, unwilling to give up:

"Squad leader, have you located that guy?"

The woman slowly shook her head, her expression solemn.

"Nothing was found."

"When I became aware of it, it was because my mental tendrils directly sensed the approaching iron pillar..."

"Damn it, they ran so fast..." Ma Han muttered in frustration, the killing intent emanating from the flaming longbow slightly subsided.

But he remained vigilant, maintaining a high level of alertness towards his surroundings.

"This is a declaration of war..."

"Hmm..." Xu Xiao responded absentmindedly, then looked down and suddenly noticed that a lot of blood was seeping from the inside of Ma Han's thigh.

"Ma Han, you're injured!"

Xu Xiao gasped and rushed forward to check on him.

However, Ma Han was embarrassed because of the sensitive location of his injury, and subconsciously made a dodging motion.

Ultimately, Xu Xiao was unable to see the extent of her injuries as she had hoped.

"It's just a scratch, I'll be fine after I take some medicine..."

As Ma Han spoke, he shook his left hand.

After shaking off the surface flames, he immediately took out a bottle of healing potion from his storage items.

But before he could even open the stopper, his strength suddenly vanished.

My five fingers felt like they had been boned out; I couldn't grip anything.

"Huh? Huh, what am I doing..."

Ma Han's eyes widened, and then he felt his body uncontrollably lean backward, falling to the ground with a thud.

My eyelids felt heavy, and my consciousness quickly faded.

The last sound heard was Xu Xiao exclaiming that Tie Zhu was poisonous.

Is the iron pillar poisonous?

That huge iron pillar could kill someone, why would they coat it with poison?!

How despicable...

Xu Xiao used his mental power to isolate the poisonous mist emanating from the iron pillar and immediately dragged Ma Han aside.

After pulling down the other person's pants, they discovered that the wound on the inside of the thigh had turned black, and they immediately dared not delay.

Subconsciously using the power of tolerance to aid in treatment.

Although doing this is somewhat like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

But the situation was urgent, and the woman couldn't worry about anything else.

To find the right remedy, we need to determine the nature of the poisonous fog and whether it is a lethal weapon.

It would be easier to just cure it completely.

White thorns formed from condensed light particles quickly pierced through the woman's chest and spread to Ma Han's body.

The power of authority swiftly cleared away the unknown toxins, restoring life to Ma Han's body.

But just then, Xu Xiao noticed something was wrong again.

The outreaching mental tentacles have discovered the intruder and are sending out a fierce response.

Another tagalong?

And there are a lot of them!

Without thinking too much, the woman immediately mobilized her mental energy, trying to crush all the sycophants that had come close.

Throughout the entire process of defending against the enemy, the exercise of the power of leniency never ceased.

So when Ma Han regained consciousness and woke up, Xu Xiao had almost finished dealing with those suddenly appearing tagalongs.

But the troubles showed no signs of stopping.

The familiar sense of threat came from above.

This time, Xu Xiao learned her lesson and didn't push Ma Han away immediately.

Instead, he activated the soft armor on his body and unleashed all his mental power upwards!

That was a strike imbued with divine wrath!

With astonishing speed, the iron pillar, which could destroy everything in its path, was forced to come to an abrupt stop even with the support of rules!

An unseen force rapidly accumulated, forming a brief balance with the spiritual energy released by the woman.

Xu Xiao took advantage of this opportunity to quickly lead Ma Han away.

A deafening explosion rang out, and another thick iron pillar appeared on the shattered earth.

However, compared to the previous one, this one is twisted in shape, as if it has been subjected to tremendous force.

"Holy crap, what happened?!"

Ma Han was startled awake by the loud explosion and sprang to his feet.

Seeing that he was only wearing shorts and that his wounds had completely healed, he immediately guessed the answer.

Without further ado, he immediately switched to combat mode and asked Xu Xiao:

"Where is the enemy?"

“I don’t know…” Xu Xiao retracted the white thorns, a moment of confusion appearing in his pupils.

As a price for curing Ma Han, another memory was forever erased from her mind, never to be retrieved again.

“Iron Pillar… I only remember that after you fainted, another iron pillar fell down.”

The woman looked uncertainly into the distance, at the twisted and deformed object.

Hearing the noise, the Palu people inside the shacks came out to investigate.

Seeing that Xu Xiao and Ma Han were both covered in dust, and that two more iron pillars were releasing poisonous mist on the ground, the people of Palu were immediately terrified.

Everyone wanted to step forward and help.

But after taking only two steps, he was pushed back by a gentle spiritual force.

"It's dangerous here, don't come any closer!" Xu Xiao shouted a warning, his expression grave.

She is now in a completely passive position.

We need to find a way to turn the situation around first, rather than giving the other side more leverage!

"If more iron pillars appear, I should be able to pinpoint that guy's location!"

Xu Xiao murmured to herself, as well as to remind Ma Han beside her.

however,

The two waited intently, but the next attack never came.
