147: Chapter 147 The Way to Summon the Guardians

“It’s... that simple?”

The girls looked at each other, their faces filled with astonishment.

They had thought they would need to do something earth-shattering...

However, reality was so simple that it left them feeling somewhat incredulous.

Then again, weren't those Slimes unkillable?

If they could only be eliminated by relying on Su Taotao's consumption, didn't that mean others would never be able to reach that final treasure in their entire lives?

Chen Yi seemed to notice The girls' confusion and explained, “Those Slimes aren't unkillable. It's easier to understand if you think of them as magical beasts with the Phoenix Attribute.”

“Every time you kill them, it consumes a large amount of their spiritual energy. When that spiritual energy is exhausted, they won't revive again!”

“However, doing that is too troublesome. It's better to just let Tao Tao swallow them in one gulp!”

Upon hearing this, The girls suddenly realized.

So that was it!

Because Slimes aren't magical beasts, normal people usually choose to give up after trying a few times and finding they can't kill them.

Only those driven to desperation, with no other options, might desperately try to kill the Slimes to finally obtain the ultimate treasure.

It must be said that the design of this Five Elements Secret Realm is truly ingenious, with such complicated rules set for each region...

“Do we two need to go collect treasures too?”

“That Slime... I feel like we won't be able to dodge it, right?”

“It's fine, that thing judges people by their appearance! You two have no combat ability, so the Slimes summoned by you are basically like jalopies—very slow and won't catch up to you!”

“So that's how it is!”

Hua Yuetong and Hua Xingtong felt relieved and let out a long sigh.

If that was the case, then it was fine!

Being able to help Chen Yi was undoubtedly the best!

“Alright, let's begin!”

“Okay!!!”

The girls responded in unison, then quickly scattered to start searching for and collecting heaven and earth spiritual treasure.

Before long, they came rushing back this way with hundreds of Slimes.

Seeing this, Su Taotao took a deep breath and summoned a small black hole once again.

“Boom—”

The moment the black hole appeared, the surrounding spiritual energy seemed to be stirred by an invisible force and trembled violently.

The space also seemed unable to bear this powerful energy and began to twist and deform!

At this moment, those Slimes seemed to possess intelligence; they immediately realized something was wrong and wanted to escape.

However, the black hole's gravity had already tightly gripped them, like countless needles inserted into their bodies, frantically draining the spiritual energy from within them.

Immediately after, a jaw-dropping scene occurred.

The bodies of those Slimes were shriveling at an alarming speed, like deflated skins drained of moisture.

Finally, like water balloons under extreme pressure, they burst open. Deep blue liquid splattered everywhere like raindrops, then quickly evaporated and vanished without a trace.

In just an instant, over a hundred Slimes were instantly killed!

“Success!”

Su Taotao shouted excitedly.

“Well done. Can you eat more?”

“Mm! These Slimes don't contain much spiritual energy. I feel like I can eat another two or three thousand before I'm full!”

“Alright then, continue!”

Thus, wave after wave of Slimes were continuously devoured.

In the blink of an eye, Su Taotao had devoured two thousand five hundred Slimes, eating until she was about eighty percent full!

And just at this moment, an abnormality suddenly occurred!

The originally clear sky was suddenly covered by dark clouds without warning!

Lightning flashed and thunder rolled, tearing across the horizon, and a torrential downpour poured down!

The surrounding tide also rose at an alarming speed, as if it were going to submerge the entire island!

“What's happening?”

“It's actually raining in the Water Region? I've been exploring here for five years, and this is the first time I've encountered such a thing!”

“No, it's not raining in the Water Region; it's raining on our island!”

“Damn it, how unlucky! Not only can I not find any good treasures, but it's also pouring rain. If I had known, I wouldn't have come. It's just a waste of time!”

Various Beast Tamer squads began to complain, looking speechless.

Having wasted so much time, not only did they not get any treasure, but they also ended up in a mess. It was truly terrible luck!

Sometimes things that seem rare may not actually be valuable.

With this time, if they had gone to explore an ordinary island, they might have already had a bountiful harvest.

“Let's bolt, let's bolt. It's been several hours; if there were any good treasures, they would have definitely been taken by others already!”

“I just observed that these Slimes don't seem to chase people off the island. Let's take some more resources before we leave! As long as we don't come back to this island, nothing will happen!”

“All that work for nothing, it pisses me off!”

“It's better than losing our lives. Although these Slimes are troublesome, they aren't strong...”

After careful consideration, the group of Beast Tamers made a decisive decision—to leave this island and go explore other islands!

Although this island is very large, after the news of the barrier breaking spread, countless people swarmed in. I'm afraid every corner has already been turned upside down.

The average amount of resource land each person can occupy might not even be one-tenth of those ordinary islands!

If they haven't found any valuable treasures yet, it's very likely that others have already gotten there first. Staying here is just a futile effort!

Of course, before leaving, they certainly wouldn't return empty-handed; they would definitely take some local specialties back!

Thus, one could see large groups of Beast Tamers, either riding flying spiritual beasts or taking boats, leaving the island.

Perhaps there will still be some unwilling people remaining here, but the number must be minimal by now.

At this moment, in the region where Chen Yi was located.

Suddenly, the stream beside them seemed to be drawn by a mysterious force, and a huge waterspout suddenly formed and soared into the air!

In the center of the waterspout, a Water Giant—composed entirely of water elements, five meters tall and three meters wide—slowly stepped out.

It was precisely the guardian of the high-level treasure introduced in the system interface!

“Kill it, no need to show mercy!”

“Okay!!!”

The girls responded without hesitation and immediately launched a joint siege on the Water Giant.

For a moment, various colorful skills bombarded the Water Giant like raindrops; the scene was exceptionally spectacular.

I don't know if they were too strong, or if this thing was too weak.

The girls hadn't even had a chance to see what moves it used before it was blasted into fragments by a dense barrage of skills in less than a few seconds, scattering like debris and melting into water.

And among them, a deep blue crystal was particularly eye-catching.
