Chapter 164 Confiscating the house



Chapter 164 Confiscating the house

With a roar, Xiong Da charged forward again, his fists imbued with the power of the earth's veins, slamming wildly towards the Emperor Crocodile's head and chest.

Xiong Er scurried around from the flanks, his ferocious power repeatedly covering the scales of the Emperor Crocodile, attempting to weaken its defenses.

Mengling and Xiaojin coordinated their attacks from high and low in the air, specifically targeting the Emperor Crocodile's joints and wounds. Although powerful, the Emperor Crocodile was not at its peak, and under the combined assault of the four ferocious beasts, it finally began to show signs of fatigue.

Seizing the opportunity, Xiong Da slammed his fist into the Emperor Crocodile's head. The golden fist, carrying immense power, smashed the Emperor Crocodile's head into the ground, causing the entire cave to tremble.

A cold glint flashed in the eyes of the Emperor Crocodile, and then, with a violent flick of its tail, the ground split open once more, creating a massive crack. A low rumble echoed from within the crack, like the roar of the abyss.

The Emperor Crocodile leaped up, carrying the nearly dead Romani, and jumped into the crevice. The crevice then quickly closed, as if it had never existed.

Mo Ming stood there, clenching his fists, his face filled with resentment. He gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it, it got away again!"

Big Bear and Little Bear growled, clearly angered by the escape of the Emperor Crocodile. Despite their best efforts, they were powerless against the Emperor Crocodile, which could summon rifts to escape at any time.

Mo Ming took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down. He knew that no matter how angry he was, it would be useless. The Emperor Crocodile's abilities were too special; even the barrier created by Shang Shang might not be able to trap it.

Moreover, this Emperor Crocodile is much stronger than the one I last saw. If I encounter it again, it will probably be back to its peak strength, making it even more difficult to kill it.

"Romani has also been rescued..." Mo Ming said in a low voice, a look of seriousness flashing in his eyes.

He had already witnessed the power of the berserk pill in Romani's hand; its enhancement to beasts was simply terrifying.

If it weren't for the fact that Xiong Da, Xiong Er, Xiao Jin, and Meng Ling each had their own trump cards, this battle today would probably have been very difficult to end.

However, Mo Ming also noticed that although the pill could allow beasts to unleash amazing power in a short period of time, it would severely deplete their potential and vitality.

Thinking of the horned goat's eventual collapse and inability to rise, Mo Ming sneered inwardly: "This kind of thing is ultimately a case of drinking poison to quench thirst."

Nevertheless, this battle was not without its gains. Asya has been completely eliminated, which is a significant victory.

Mo Ming walked to Asya's body, squatted down, and looked at the wristband on his wrist. He reached out and took off the wristband, examined it carefully, and sure enough, it was Asya's spatial wristband.

"This guy's equipment is pretty good." Mo Ming's lips curled up slightly as he put the wristband on his wrist, intending to return to the shelter for a closer look.

After collecting all the weapons scattered on the ground into his spatial ring, Mo Ming stood up and led Xiong Da and Xiong Er into Romani's lair, intending to "raid" it.

Big Bear and Little Bear let out a low growl, seemingly also filled with anticipation for the "raid."

Romani's lair was located deep within a cave, with a very well-hidden entrance. If it weren't for Xiong Er's keen sense of smell, it would have been difficult to find the way there. After passing through a narrow passage, Mo Ming and Xiong Da and Xiong Er finally arrived at Romani's secret base.

Before him stood a massive stone chamber, filled with various alchemy tools, and the air was thick with the aroma of medicinal herbs. Mo Ming looked around, his gaze settling on an alchemy furnace in the center of the chamber.

The alchemy furnace was dark red all over, with complex runes carved on its surface, and it faintly exuded an ancient aura.

"This is... a high-grade alchemy furnace?" Mo Ming stepped forward, reached out and touched the surface of the furnace, feeling a faint fluctuation of spiritual energy.

A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. This alchemy furnace was clearly the core tool Romani used to refine the Berserk Pill. Although he didn't know its specific grade, it was definitely a priceless treasure.

Mo Ming took out the analyzer and analyzed the alchemy furnace.

【Five Elements Furnace - Crimson Fire】

Description: This is a fire-attribute alchemy furnace among the Five Elements Furnaces. It is suitable for refining various types of elixirs, but its grade is unknown.

According to the description, there should be five Five Elements Furnaces, each with its own characteristics and capable of refining different things. This is truly a wonderful thing! I should pay more attention to furnaces with other attributes in the future.

Besides the alchemy furnace, the stone chamber was filled with various medicinal herbs and materials, many of which were rare varieties that Mo Ming had never seen before. Without hesitation, Mo Ming put all of these herbs into his spatial ring.

After all, these things would only be used by Romani to make more berserk pills if they fell into Romani's hands, but now they will become an important resource for Momin to improve his strength in the future.

In a corner of the stone chamber, Mo Ming also found a table with several thick books on it. He casually flipped through one and discovered that it contained the method and recipe for making the Berserk Pill. Mo Ming sneered, "This thing is much safer in my hands than in Romani's."

After putting the books away, Mo Ming continued searching the other areas of the stone chamber. Just when he thought he had almost finished looting, Xiong Er suddenly growled, signaling Mo Ming to follow it.

"What did you find?" Mo Ming quickly followed Xiong Er to the backyard of the stone chamber.

The backyard was very well hidden, surrounded by high rock walls, with only a narrow path leading to it. Xiong Er led Mo Ming to a corner of the backyard, where there was a messy pile of stones. Xiong Er used his paws to clear away the stones, revealing a stone slab covered with runes.

"This is... a teleportation array?" A look of surprise flashed in Mo Ming's eyes. He squatted down and examined it carefully. Sure enough, the stone slab was covered with complex teleportation runes.

“This must be the passage that Romani used to conduct secret transactions with Zhou Kuang,” Mo Ming murmured.

However, Romani escaped, rendering the teleportation array useless and beyond his control. So he simply had Xiong Da destroy it completely.

The appearance of the Emperor Crocodile made Mo Ming even more cautious. Romani already knew about the Buddha of Killing Heart statue, so it was no longer safe for him to stay here. He had to move quickly.

As for Zhou Kuang, time was of the essence this time, and moving was the priority, so there was no time to deal with him. However, if there was an opportunity in the future, Mo Ming would definitely not let him go.

After ransacking the entire lair, Mo Ming left the cave. His spatial ring now contained an alchemy furnace, a large quantity of medicinal herbs, and the recipe for a berserk pill—items of immeasurable value.

Standing outside the cave, Mo Ming glanced back and thought to himself, "Romani, you got lucky this time, but let's see if you'll be so lucky next time?"
