Reborn as a Hatrack in the Mystical Land-Chapter 702 - 159: Break Formation

Deep within Mist Canyon, Compass led the Dragon Knights on their way out.

At first, everything went smoothly. The light of the Divine Runes emanating from Compass instilled fear into the passing Rock Monsters, causing them to flee haphazardly.

But as time went on, Compass and the Dragon Knights noticed the Rock Monsters, initially fleeing far away, were gradually approaching. They were also occasionally emitting sharp cries towards Compass and his team.

A few of the larger Rock Monsters even started to trail behind Compass and the others.

The huge grin on Compass’s face gradually began to fade, his strides became shorter, and he unconsciously drew closer to Peng Bojinuo, who was following him.

"Captain Compass, is there some kind of problem?" Little Jinuo also noticed something was off, "Those monsters seem to be getting closer."

As the saying goes, easier said than done. Suddenly, fifteen or sixteen Rock Monsters leaped out to block their path.

These Monsters were different from the ones previously repelled by the power of the Divine Runes on Compass’s body; they were covered with patterns of green and yellow moss.

Their facial features were as if they were carved out, having relatively clear contours.

They blocked the way of the Dragon Knights, hurling rocks at Compass and the others.

"Watch me take care of you," Compass, holding his breath, charged forward, colliding head-on with the largest Rock Monster with the most ferocious appearance.

The Monster was sent flying by Compass’s sturdy frame, crashing to the ground and breaking into several segments.

"Move aside for this young master," Compass kicked the Monster’s head away.

Who knew that after the Monster’s head was kicked off, it rolled several times in the air.

The head, covered with green-yellow moss patterns, emitted a deep green light from its eye sockets.

Under those two patches of ghostly green light, the fifteen or sixteen Rock Monsters in the mist were drawn as if by a powerful suction towards the Monster’s head.

Fifteen or sixteen Monsters all gathered together, transforming into a super-gigantic Rock Monster with the size of an empty ship.

"!!"

"Oh my God," Compass’s mung bean-sized eyes shrank back when confronted by the sudden appearance of the gigantic Monster.

Even with ten times his courage, he dared not oppose this King of the Monsters.

The Dragon Knights exchanged glances, not expecting the Monsters of Mist Canyon to possess such Dark Techniques.

The Monster King lifted its enormous foot, stomping down towards Compass’s head.

This time, the Divine Runes on Compass’s body did not reappear.

"I’m screwed. Yue Jinghua, your damn Divine Runes, are they one-time use?" Compass almost vomited blood and died from fright, scrambling away in every direction.

Peng Bojinuo’s eyebrows furrowed. He knew that today a bloody battle with the Monster King was inevitable.

He placed one hand over his chest, thinking to himself: "Grandpa, ancestors of the Pengbo Family, Little Jinuo will never bring shame to our name."

He drew the weapon strapped to his waist, raising high the Flag Knight’s shield, shouting: "Fight for Dragon Battle, live for the Empire."

In his voice was relentless fortitude and fervor, echoing through Mist Canyon like an eternal and unyielding battle hymn.

The dragon knights, panicked and disoriented, felt their blood run hot and their chest dragon patterns sear with heat at his battle cry. Unconsciously, they ceased their frenzied steps, raised their weapons high, and shouted in unison: "For the Empire, for Emperor Long Teng, salute to the Dragon God."

Dozens of cold, gleaming weapons exuded an oppressive aura that even made the dense fog recoil with trepidation, dispersing somewhat.

"Idiots, dying for the Empire is not as good as living for oneself," the Compass Captain murmured from a bush on the side, looking disdainfully at the foolish acts of the dragon knights.

"Eh? Is it an illusion? Why does it feel like the dense fog has thinned out?" the Compass Captain rubbed his eyes.

It was not an illusion; the fog was truly dissipating.

It wasn’t just the fog; the body of the enormous Rock Monster, once powerful, now trembled uncontrollably like chaff.

At this moment, within the Little Shang Palace in Polo City.

A female priestess with her hands clasped together, floating within a Dark Array, opened her eyes as she focused her power to set the Array.

She was an incomparably beautiful female priestess, with eyes of qiong blue and long, wavy, golden hair like sea waves, cascading down and covering her bare upper body.

The female priestess was draped in a black sacrificial robe, but beneath the hem of her robe, a snake’s tail covered in scales peeked out, revealing her to be from an alien race.

Below her, the once still Dark Array began to emit ripples, and waves of Dark Power continuously overflowed from within the Array.

In the great hall, the lanterns flickered, and the curtains swayed with a rustling noise.

Feeling the fluctuations of Dark Power in the hall, another breathtakingly beautiful woman appeared outside the hall, accompanied by a formidable man in black battle armor.

The man had a handsome face, sharp eyes as piercing as an eagle’s.

"Mei Xi, what’s wrong?" The beautiful woman shared a striking resemblance with the female priestess setting the Array — both had blue eyes, golden hair, bare-chested, half-human, half-snake.

They were not from the Canglong Continent but dark creatures from Dark Hell, the snake-haired sisters.

"From the direction of Mist Canyon, someone is forcefully breaking through the Dark Array," one of the women was named Mei Xi and the other Bella, both infamous Dark Snake Women from Dark Hell.

"In this godforsaken place, someone can actually break through my sister’s Dual Attribute Dark Array," said Bella, the arrogant Snake Woman, as she flicked her golden hair and glanced at the man in black armor beside her: "Fa Xiaoyi, if you hadn’t been so reluctant to kill those people, my sister wouldn’t have to use such strength to lay down such a Dual Attribute Dark Array, right?"

"How much longer can you hold on?" Fa Xiaoyi narrowed his eyes dangerously, his gaze as sharp as a blade. He could tell that Mei Xi wouldn’t last much longer.

It was a pity, with just three or four more days, he would have figured out a method to refine the Sub-Asian Dragon.

After killing Zhan BeiAo, Fa Xiaoyi learned that one of the Northern Expedition Army’s forces was the dragon knights led by Peng Bojinuo.

The Dark Demon Soldiers under his command, although obedient due to the summons, were ultimately of average strength, and during the last battle, had suffered heavy losses.

The temperament of the two Snake Women before him was unpredictable, and the contract he had made with them was equal in standing, making it challenging to control them directly.

Therefore, Fa Xiaoyi, thinking of the ancient Dark Refining method, wanted to capture the dragon knights and their mounts alive to turn them into Dark Dragon Knights.

If he could have kept them trapped for a few more days, he would have been successful, but now, the reinforcements from the Empire had already come knocking at his door.

"Hmph, don’t underestimate me. My Dual Attribute Dark Array isn’t so easily broken," the snake-haired priestess snorted. With a raise of her hand, a trembling palace maid was pulled toward her in the great hall.

After the Snake Woman Priestess opened her mouth wide and devoured the person, a flash of blood-light covered her body. Beneath her, the previously unstable Dark Array now surfaced with a strange shade of red.
