485: Chapter 485: Escape from the Tomb Chamber 485: Chapter 485: Escape from the Tomb Chamber Five ferocious giant beasts stood directly behind Hu Li, towering like five hulking n.
Sally’s ability to control these giants was indeed beyond Ye Shikai’s expectations.
Who could have imagined that these giant beasts actually heeded the commands of a young woman—no, more precisely, an ageless fairy.
“What exactly is going on?” Athena asked in confusion.
The Shennong Pills did work wonders for Hu Li’s potion; their Inner Strength was fully restored.
Athena held a gold sword in her hand, while Chuanzi grasped the Ghost Blade.
“If I’m not mistaken, Tu Tan must have developed a potion capable of controlling these giant beasts,” Ye Shikai said with a grave expression, his mind already figuring out how to deal with these giants.
“That’s right.
My father accidentally developed this potion that can turn living beings into monsters, and they could be easily controlled.
He originally intended to destroy it, but I managed to keep so.
Haha, without these potions, I might really have died at the hands of that tyrant.” Hu Li sneered and waved his hand towards the gold sarcophagus beside him.
One of the beasts imdiately stood up and violently pounded on the coffin with its paws.
Even in death, there is no peace.
“Hu Li, what exactly do you want to do?” Ye Shikai demanded sternly.
“I want all of you to stay as sacrifices,” Hu Li cunningly smiled and waved his hand forward, commanding the giant beasts, “Get them, kill them all.”
“Hold on a second,” Ye Shikai suddenly shouted, causing everyone to be startled.
“Hu Li, without the Four Elents, you probably can’t beco King,” Ye Shikai said with a sneer, holding the Fire Elent in one hand and the Qi Elent in the other.
Although five giant beasts faced him, he remained utterly calm.
Hu Li and these beasts had lived in the underground tomb for tens of thousands of years, and she designed the tomb herself.
If she wanted the Four Elents, nobody could stop her, yet she did not have them.
Because she couldn’t get them.
“I guess you can’t get close to these Four Elents, can you?” Hu Li’s eyebrows twitched slightly, and the corners of Ye Shikai’s mouth tilted upwards.
He had indeed guessed correctly.
“Hades, you’re indeed very smart.
These beasts are half-human, half-animal, and the Four Elents utterly repel them.
I don’t have the power to obtain the Four Elents, so I need you to acquire and command them.”
“What?
Half-human, half-animal,” Chuanzi was confused by their conversation, only understanding that these monsters were mutated from humans—a truly perverse act.
“What else did you expect?
What else would Sally use to create the Giant Beast Army?” Ye Shikai said coldly.
“Those people were rely a minor sacrifice.
Besides, if I hadn’t done this, they would have stayed and been buried with that tyrant.
It’s just a pity that I didn’t have enough of the potion to create more,” Hu Li said nonchalantly, as if she were discussing sothing as mundane as drinking water.
“I did this to overthrow the tyrant and lead the Atlantean people back onto the path of light,” Hu Li shouted hysterically.
“Self-righteous, you keep saying you did it for Atlantis to overthrow the tyrant, but how are your actions any different from his?
Your father used the Four Elents to concoct dicine, and you also built a tomb for the King.
Do you really bear no responsibility for the deaths of those hundred thousand civilians?” Ye Shikai suddenly said sharply, each word piercing like an arrow to the heart.
“If the King ordered the killings, then you are the executioners.”
“What right do you have to judge ?
What revolution doesn’t involve sacrifice?
If not for the Four Elents being entombed and leading to the catastrophic floods, Atlantis would’ve been prospering in my hands by now.” Hu Li argued back loudly, looking very disturbed.
“Quite a phrase, ‘carry forward and magnify.’ All you’ve been doing is to satisfy the dreams of dominance in your heart.
You just want that King’s throne.
Overthrowing a tyrant, for the people’s good – those are just sanctimonious reasons, aren’t they?” Ye Shikai yelled angrily.
“You, you…” Hu Li was choked by Ye Shikai’s words and couldn’t speak for a long ti, obviously driven to extre anger.
“In plain terms, you just want to seize the chance to plot for power and usurp the throne, a re buffoon who dares to speak grandly here.” Ye Shikai wanted to continue, but Athena pulled at his sleeve.
Hu Li’s expression looked terrifying, with a hint of being on the brink of an outburst.
She worried that if Ye Shikai provoked him further, Hu Li would act like a cornered beast, committing inconceivable atrocities.
“Ha ha, very well, what you said is excellent, but it will be your last words.” Hu Li’s face darkened with a spiteful laugh, and the five giant beasts behind him charged forward…
“Qi Elent, Gathering Qi to Form a Blade.” Ye Shikai pushed the two won behind him, channeling his Inner Strength to activate the Qi Elent.
“Swish.” Ye Shikai moved, and the sharp Qi Blade sliced straight through the neck of one of the giant beasts…
“Thump.” A head rolled off, and Ye Shikai laughed triumphantly.
If what Hu Li said was true earlier, then the Four Elents should repel these giant beasts, making it much more effective than ordinary weapons.
“Why, why can an outsider like you use the treasured power of my Atlantis?
Why.” Hu Li bellowed loudly, more shocked by the fact that Ye Shikai could harness the Four Elents for his use and turn it against Hu Li, who was from Atlantis.
“The power of nature never serves any one person.
You go against the will of heaven and will never be able to control the Four Elents by yourself.” Ye Shikai wielded the Qi Blade, severing the arm of a nearby giant beast.
“Let’s go.” Ye Shikai turned and said to the two won.
“Giant Beast Army, stop them for .” Hu Li issued a loud order.
Several giant beasts reacted imdiately and headed toward the doorway.
“Fire Elent.” Ye Shikai pulled out the Fire Elent from the Storage Ring, and ten Fireballs burst forth from the Fire Elent, hitting the ground and the bodies of the giant beasts.
“Roar.” The high-temperature flas hit the giant beasts, repelling their advance at once.
The flas burned their skin while the giant beasts’ pained groans could be intermittently heard.
“Qi Elent, Wind Fuels the Fire’s Might.” Ye Shikai took out the Qi Elent, and a gust of wind blew, fanning the flas on the ground toward Hu Li and the giant beasts.
At the sa ti, Chuanzi and Athena used the opportunity to run to the doorway.
“You must leave.” Ye Shikai pressed the tomb chamber’s switch with force, and the stone door began to close slowly.
“But what about you?” Athena stood at the doorway, asking anxiously.
“I have my ways; just go!” Ye Shikai pushed the two won out of the tomb chamber.
anwhile, the firestorm created by both the Fire Energy and Qi Elents had set the entire tomb chamber ablaze.
In the instant before the stone door closed completely, Ye Shikai channeled his Inner Strength and turned into a shadow, squeezing through the final gap.
“Bang.” The stone door fell heavily to the ground, and the tomb chamber was sealed shut.
