Chapter 52 The Titan Wall
Upon hearing Xiao Yan's command, the Tyrannosaurus Rex let out an excited roar. It was unclear whether Eric, who was looking up at him, was startled, but Xiao Yan was certainly taken aback.
"Hey, are you out of your mind? This is that woman's territory. If she yells at us... have you forgotten how we almost died at her hands last time?"
Xiao Yan deliberately allowed Agar.io to evolve into Tyrannomon in a spacious area because he was worried that Tyrannomon's enormous size would cause the cliff on the mountaintop to collapse, thereby attracting Hyotei.
This guy, completely carried away, let out a loud roar. It was so loud that even if Hyotei wanted to pretend she couldn't hear him, it wouldn't be realistic.
Xiao Yan looked around in lingering fear. Fortunately, the eldest sister did not appear, and the roar of the Tyrannosaurus Beast did not cause an avalanche.
"You." Eric tried to get closer to him, after all, he didn't think Xiao Yan was a very murderous person. "Brother Xiao Yan, after all, I've accompanied you for a while. Let's not talk about feelings, please let me go. I have elderly parents and young children to support."
It would be unwise to fight the Polar Tyrannosaurus right now. Although Eric is already a Soul King, it won't be long before he advances to Soul King.
To stand out among the mercenary groups in the North, it is crucial to assess the situation carefully.
"Oh, if that's the case, then take the money out of your pocket first."
A glimmer of hope flashed in Eric's eyes. Just now, his men scattered down the mountain, and Xiao Yan did not stop them. Clearly, he and Xiao Yan were not at the point of being irreconcilable enemies.
But he was wrong. These mercenaries were all driven by profit. In Xiao Yan's eyes, they posed no threat to him at all. If they dispersed, so be it. If he joined another mercenary group, without a leader like Eric, he should be more disciplined.
But Eric is different. If he is released, he can form another mercenary group like Frostmark. If he moves slowly, he might get intercepted by the enemy.
Xiao Yan never liked to have any worries about the future.
Eric obediently laid out all his money, along with the money pouch he had obtained from Xiao Yan during this period, on the snow.
"Oh, so that's why your mercenary brothers don't like me. It turns out you've pocketed all the money I gave you." Xiao Yan's tone was somewhat playful, making it impossible to tell if he was angry or not.
After all, he had long known this fact and also knew that Commander Ai's character was not very good.
"Without me, these ragtag guys wouldn't even be good enough to be assistants in other mercenary groups. I led them out of this far north. It's not wrong for me, as their leader, to take on more than they need, is it?" Eric said with a smile, looking at Xiao Yan.
"Hmm...that's fine too." Xiao Yan looked like he was thinking. "Commander Ai, why don't you take off your clothes first?"
"Huh?" Eric was stunned for a moment, then quickly did as he was told.
"Stop, stop, stop! Who told you to take your pants off? Just your shirt is fine."
Eric frowned, wondering what the boy was thinking. Because his martial spirit hadn't disintegrated yet, his entire body was covered in wild animal fur, which was why he did as he was told. Otherwise, in this freezing weather, wouldn't he go crazy without any warm clothing?
"How about this, you disintegrate your martial soul again, and then I'll consider whether I should let you go."
"Disintegration?" Eric looked down. The reason he was able to take off his clothes without any worries was because he was currently possessed by his Martial Soul, and the snow wolf's fur covered his entire body, so he did not feel too cold in the snow.
However, if he cancels his martial spirit state, he will freeze to death here in less than four seconds.
"Brother Xiao, aren't you asking a bit too much of us?" Eric said, looking up at Xiao Yan.
"Yeah." The boy sitting on the Tyrannosaurus Rex's shoulder spoke flippantly, but his face remained cold.
"If I do as you say, will you really let me go?" Eric was still struggling. Although the Arctic Tyrannosaurus was infamous, in his opinion, Xiao Yan was just an unparalleled disciple of a sect, and he should still have a chance.
"Yes, at least that's what I said."
After hearing this, Eric wanted to dispel his martial soul possession form.
"But my Greymon didn't say anything."
"What? Xiao Yan, are you kidding me?! How can that beast talk?"
"Yes, I was playing you." Xiao Yan looked coldly at the mercenary leader in front of him. The murderous intent was originally aroused by the other party.
"You damned bastard!" Eric roared angrily, and five spirit rings lit up on his body in turn.
"Besides, who told you I can't speak?" A deep voice, different from Xiao Yan's, came from above Eric's head.
Cold sweat beaded on his forehead. What the hell? A martial spirit speaking? This isn't a martial spirit, it's a soul beast, a legendary 100,000-year-old ferocious beast that can speak human language!
Eric realized at that moment that he had to strike first. If Xiao Yan were human, he could try to reason with him and appeal to his emotions. But if he was a soul beast, who was inherently mortal enemies with humans, he could forget about surviving.
"Snow Wolf Blazing Light Wave!" As the fifth soul ring merged with it, a ball of deep blue energy condensed in his mouth.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan became serious, as this was the first time he had ever fought against a Soul King-level Soul Master.
"Greymon, interrupt his charge-up!"
Upon hearing Xiao Yan's order, both Tyrannosaurus and Eric were speechless.
This person hasn't even shown their moves yet, and they've already attacked. That's incredibly unsportsmanlike.
"Hurry up, or he'll spit that soul skill phlegm on you and it'll hurt."
The Tyrannomon immediately understood and unleashed a flame attack on Eric, who was still charging up.
Eric had no choice but to interrupt the charging of his fifth soul skill and release it prematurely. The soul skill, which had not yet unleashed its full power, collided with the flames of the Tyrannosaurus Beast.
The impact of the two energies sent him flying more than three meters away. He struggled to his feet, blood gushing from his mouth.
If even a Soul King like myself is not having an easy time dealing with the impact of Soul Skills, then the Polar Tyrannosaurus Rex must be in no better shape.
Eric thought to himself, and confidently raised his head.
When the smoke cleared, he almost coughed up blood again.
Compared to Eric's disheveled state, the Tyrannosaurus on the other side could only be described as elegant, standing there motionless as if it had not been affected by the soul power at all.
A purple spirit ring lit up from the Tyrannosaurus Beast and flew back to Xiao Yan's side.
The impact was naturally neutralized by Xiao Yan's third soul skill: Titan's Wall.
The Titan Wall combines the power of the Titan race's bloodline with the ability to enhance the overall defensive capabilities of one's martial soul.
This was the third soul ring that Xiao Yan absorbed in the deadly far north, out of desperation.
"You, how could you just be a Soul Master? You must be a Soul Beast in human form. That's right, otherwise why would this Tyrannosaurus Rex listen to you so much?"
Eric looked at the scene before him with a somewhat deranged expression.
"You're finished! You spirit beasts dare to treat us humans like this? My brothers in the mercenary group will definitely report this to the Spirit Hall, and then all of you spirit beasts will be finished!"
Having his fifth soul skill's charging interrupted and then taking a fatal blow from the opponent, Eric felt that his days were numbered.
Eric, of course, was unaware that after his Frostscar Mercenaries descended the mountain, no one spoke of the matter again.
This event was a nightmare for ordinary Soul Masters like them.
However, Xiao Yan no longer responded to Eric's words, and the yellow halo lit up silently.
This halo, in the face of death, seemed like the halo of heaven.
"Tyrannosaurus, Crimson Flame Dragon Breath." Xiao Yan uttered the coldest words in the icy plain, his face expressionless.
Even the 2000°C flames from Tyrannosaurus's mouth seemed unable to warm it.
