Chapter 692: A Prehistoric Human
Under the big tree, Han Fei and Tang Ge were recovering.
Although Han Fei seemed invincible just now, each attack consumed a lot of his energy.
Fortunately, there weren’t many Half-Mermaids this time. Otherwise, the battle result might have been uncertain.
In addition, Han Fei was able to kill so many Half-Mermaids in a row because he used the Air Breaking Strike.
How would ordinary people know that Han Fei had mastered the Thousand Miles Fishing Technique so proficiently? His knife light reached the enemy’s face almost in the blink of an eye. Very few people could escape such a horrible strike.
When the wound on Tang Ge’s arm recovered, he looked up at the tree and said, “How did you find out that Xu Mo was suspicious?”
Han Fei smiled and said, “I didn’t find anything at all, but the way Xu Mo spoke was strange. He kept provoking me and tried to mislead us several times. I had to doubt his intentions.”
“Even Senior Liang Tian was deceived by him. I don’t know what methods he used to disguise himself as a human being…”
Han Fei curled his lips and said, “So we’ve gotta be careful. But what is he doing in the tree? Is there anything on the tree?”
Tang Ge’s face darkened. “When we first came in, there was a strange light on the tree. Xu Mo took advantage of the battle between me and the Half-Mermaids and rushed up first to snatch the opportunity.”
Han Fei frowned. “How did you get in? Did you enter the Colosseum?”
Tang Ge was surprised. “What Colosseum?”
Han Fei briefly told him about his experience. Of course, he didn’t elaborate on the matter that he was almost possessed, but just reminded Tang Ge not to believe anything about the Soul Splitting Technique.
After a while, Xu Mo still didn’t get down from the tree, and no one came out of the sea either. Han Fei said, “Let’s go up and have a look.”
Tang Ge nodded. “I’m with you.”
Tang Ge’s combat power was not low. When Han Fei just came in, Tang Ge was fighting four Half-Mermaids alone and only lost 30% of his combat power in the end.
If it were him, he wouldn’t necessarily have ended up better than Tang Ge.
The two of them were, like flexible apes, jumping and climbing on the ice giant tree.
Unexpectedly, there were no obstacles in the whole process. When they jumped to the top of the tree, they saw Xu Mo sitting cross-legged on a thick branch, eyes closed.
Beside Xu Mo, there was a crystal coffin, in which there was a human who seemed to have been frozen for a long time. He was in a blue battle suit, and to their shock, there was a third eye between his brow.
Tang Ge was about to take out his halberd but was stopped by Han Fei. “Wait a minute. Something is wrong.”
Han Fei frowned. He wasn’t sure if this was an opportunity.
In theory, in a place like the Snow God’s Temple, even if there was an opportunity, it shouldn’t be obtained so easily.
Recalling what happened just now, Han Fei found that except for the Soul Parasites when they first entered the secret realm and the ice giants outside the palace, they hadn’t actually encountered any real obstacles so far.
The only real danger was the bastard who wanted to grab his body… Theoretically, that kind of danger was worthy of the Snow God’s Temple.
Although this big ice tree looked astonishing, it presented them no danger at all, which made Han Fei quite suspicious.
The man in the coffin sealed himself up. But in this icy world, was there a difference between putting himself in a coffin and lying outside. Why didn’t he set a seal on his coffin? Wasn’t he afraid of being dug out of the coffin?
Han Fei suddenly frowned. So, this coffin must be thrown here on purpose.
The person sleeping in the coffin wanted to lure others into opening this coffin.
Han Fei had been deceived once, and he certainly didn’t want to be fooled again.
Tang Ge frowned. “Look, Xu Mo’s breath is changing.”
Han Fei nodded. “I know. Leave it to me.”
With a casual wave of the Blood-Drinking Knife, a knife light shot at Xu Mo who was sitting cross-legged.
However, the knife light was blocked by an invisible barrier three inches away from Xu Mo. Han Fei’s knife light couldn’t even reach him.
Han Fei’s eyelids twitched and he swung the Blood-Drinking Knife again. However, this time, the target was no longer Xu Mo but the man in the ice coffin.
In the next second, the coffin lid suddenly flew up and a strange array appeared in the air, blocking Han Fei’s knife.
Han Fei shouted to Tang Ge, “Smash the coffin, and I’ll kill Xu Mo!”
Immediately, Han Fei had Little Fatty and Nine Tails attach to him, and he activated both the Majestic Mystic Spell and the Draw Technique as he slashed out. Although this strike seemed plain, it had almost exhausted all his strength.
Clink!
Xu Mo suddenly opened his eyes that glowed deep blue.
This complicated array had actually blocked the Draw Technique.
Only Han Fei knew how powerful this strike was! It could even beat a peak-level Hanging Fisher!
Although Han Fei was only an intermediate Hanging Fisher now, even a peak-level Hanging Fisher wouldn’t dare block this strike head-on.
Crack!
The array was broken, and a blue light suddenly appeared on Xu Mo’s head. In the blue light, a new eye grew, from which a small white sword took shape and shot at Han Fei.
BAM!
It directly shattered Han Fei’s attack, forcing him to take two steps back.
On the other side, Tang Ge had hacked at the coffin with his halberd, and the horrible force crushed the ice coffin. However, the body in it was grabbed by Xu Mo and pulled out of the coffin.
Han Fei said coldly, “He is not Xu Mo. Xu Mo has been possessed.”
Han Fei was very angry. He knew that there was no free lunch in the world.
Xu Mo couldn’t be so strong. Otherwise, his real identity would have been discovered early on! It must be after he climbed into the tree that he grew so strong.
Tang Ge pointed his halberd at Xu Mo. “Who are you?”
Han Fei said, “If I’ve guessed correctly, he must be a prehistoric human. Am I right, Bro?
Xu Mo’s eyes flickered. “How did you know? And you are not from the Sea Clan? How long has passed since the Age of Doom?”
Tang Ge was shocked. “He’s really not Xu Mo…”
Han Fei sneered. “What is the Age of Doom? I’ve never heard of it before. However, your Snow God’s Temple is really evil, deceiving innocent people and trying to grab their bodies.”
The man frowned. “Why should we humans kill each other?”
Han Fei shot back, “The body you are using belongs to a human, but you killed him!”
The man said indifferently, “The traps were prepared for the Sea Clan. We didn’t expect that humans would return. Besides, this body doesn’t belong to a human being. To be precise, it belongs to a half human, a hybrid of a human and a sea monster.”
Han Fei sneered. “You can keep pretending, but I’m not gonna buy it. If you really think so, why did you use his body?”
The man stepped back a few steps, grabbed in the air with one hand, and then a long sword of ice appeared in his hand. His third eye shining coldly, he asked, “Then what are you going to do?”
Han Fei smiled and said, “I don’t know what era the Age of Doom you mentioned was. However, if you’d like, you can come back to the human society with us…”
“Impossible!”
This person reacted very quickly. He sneered. “Time flies. If I appear in today’s human society, I will definitely be captured by the strong, unable to control my own life.”
Han Fei grinned. “Fine, it’s up to you. Anyways, you are not a good person. Now hand over the Soul Splitting Technique. Otherwise, we’ll kill you.”
The man frowned. “How do you know about the Soul Splitting Technique?”
Han Fei sneered. “I know a lot. Don’t you want to save your master? Hand over the Soul Splitting Technique and we’ll let you go.”
The man’s eyes flicked. “Impossible. The Soul Splitting Technique is the most precious treasure of the Snow God’s Temple. How can I give it to you? As for my Master, he has already died.”
Han Fei pretended to be surprised. “Huh! Has he died? Then let’s send you to see him!”
As soon as Han Fei said so, he and Tang Ge immediately launched an attack on the man. The terrifying impact of their strikes tore open the bark of the large icy tree.
Tang Ge’s halberd danced like a flying dragon, mighty and overwhelming.
Han Fei shot out hundreds of knives, sweeping across the sky.
The man tried to leap down the tree. With a flash between his eyebrows, hundreds of creatures immediately appeared on the ground, roaring at the sky.
The nine-star chain shot away and buckled at that man.
With a dragon roar, Tang Ge chopped his big halberd down in the air.
“Wait a minute!”
The man was horrified. His body was too weak! Either one of them was stronger than his body, so he had no power to fight back at all.
Besides, he had just woken up and his strength hadn’t been restored. Within ten minutes, he might have been killed.
Han Fei yelled, “For what? If you don’t cooperate, I’ll kill you now.”
Tang Ge swung his halberd at the man. Although his attack was blocked by the array, the icy snow creatures leaping up around him were smashed to pieces by the huge wave of air his halberd brought up.
Han Fei used the Draw Technique again, smashing the man’s array.
Boom…
The man was slammed into the ground, blood spurting out of his mouth. “Soul Splitting Technique, I can give it to you.”
Tang Ge put away his halberd, saying coldly, “Don’t even think about playing any tricks. Once again, whether you give it to us or not, I’m gonna kill you.”
