There is no guarantee for the lottery? So what?

"Stopped?"

After those two attacks, Qi Jing, hiding in the meatball, remained vigilant, anticipating its next strike.

But a long time passed, and his spider-sense remained silent.

"Three hundred and thirty seconds. The interval between each attack is three hundred and thirty seconds."

Hong Wei listened to the Hunter's various intelligence reports through his headset, recounting to Qi Jing the known information about the unknown creature they had discovered in the Giant Beast Mountains.

Qi Jing was dumbfounded.

What the heck?

An incredibly strong unknown creature that can only attack once every five and a half minutes?

Why is it attacking us?

Could it be that it heard my thoughts of being invincible and carrying the whole team later on, and now it's trying to eliminate me?

That's too outrageous!

Qi Jing's intuition told him that there was an 80% chance this guess was true.

That creature just happened to hear his thoughts and decided to attack.

Son of a...

That's not playing fair! I've only awakened for a little over half a year, and you're already trying to get rid of me in advance?

Don't you understand the principle that a Tribulation Stage elder can't attack a Qi Refining Stage junior cultivator!

Thankfully, I'm not alone.

Qi Jing asked:

"Grandpa Hong, can you beat it?"

"Depends on the timing."

Hong Wei felt that his attack power was definitely sufficient. If he discovered the opponent in advance, killing it instantly wouldn't be difficult.

But the opponent would likely discover him first, and at that point, it would be difficult to judge the outcome.

"I don't need to fight it. We have You Xiaozi, we just need to protect the bait."

As Hong Wei spoke, he swung his blade forward again, the violent airwave he unleashed directly crossing ten thousand meters and killing a lurking alien race.

After retracting his blade, he said:

"It's likely to attack us again when the time comes. Be careful."

"Okay."

Qi Jing nodded.

He glanced at the clock in the lower-left corner of his helmet's view. Two and a half minutes had passed since the last two sea urchin attacks.

In other words, in about three minutes, that unknown creature might launch a second attack on them.

Then, I'll read a novel for two and a half minutes.

《The Fruit of Ability: Primordial Celestial Venerable, Chapter 1, The Fall of Mad Qingyang》

After a satisfying read, Qi Jing switched the view back to the camera.

Will the attack come?

Will it still be those blue sea urchin-shaped water spikes?

In the view, Hong Wei held the opened and enlarged谪仙 Umbrella in his left hand, and his greatsword in his right, standing ready.

Suddenly, Qi Jing's spider-sense was triggered again.

"Behind!"

As he shouted those words, Hong Wei immediately turned around and swung his sword fiercely behind the逍遥 Sword.

Whatever the attack is, cut it first.

Then he held the谪仙 Umbrella in front of him, protecting the bait.

In that instant, Qi Jing only saw a flash of green light before a surging, turbulent green torrent, like a river bursting its banks, appeared in mid-air without warning.

This torrent rushed forward fiercely, like a ferocious beast opening its bloody maw, with an earth-devouring aura, sweeping in from behind with a destructive and overwhelming force.

However, the air where it passed didn't have the slightest ripple.

The fierce wind of Hong Wei's full-powered swing became like something on a different layer in front of this powerful force, instantly becoming background, as if it didn't exist, and was easily penetrated.

The green torrent wasn't affected at all. Its speed didn't decrease but increased, continuing to rush towards them like a ghost.

An immaterial attack?

Seeing this, Hong Wei's eyes turned solemn. He shook his arm, and a blood-red light appeared out of nowhere, covering the surface of the谪仙 Umbrella.

As the number one Esper, apart from time-based attacks that he couldn't hit, he could deal with everything else!

He relies on the space-disturbing stone in his blade for space abilities, and his own trained blood-colored killing intent for immaterial abilities.

After years of slaughter, his Source Power had long been stained with extremely thick killing intent.

Whether it was a spear condensed from mental power, or a phantomized or elementalized throwing spear, as long as it touched this blood-colored killing intent, it would directly disintegrate.

In a way, immaterial abilities are more fragile than physical ones in front of him.

Even he is affected by this killing intent when he kills, which gives an idea of the power of this killing intent.

"Hold!"

Hong Wei roared, covering the谪仙 Umbrella with several more layers of his own blood energy.

In the blink of an eye, the green torrent, like surging tides, rushed upwards with an overwhelming force!

It crashed straight into the seemingly fragile umbrella surface.

There was no loud "boom," nor any air vibrations. There was only silence and the aftershocks of red and green intertwined.

The powerful, intangible energy fluctuations produced by this collision spread in all directions like raging waves. Even the birds that were originally soaring freely in the air ten thousand meters below were struck as if by lightning the moment they felt this terrifying power. Their bodies stiffened, their eyes rolled back, and then they fell straight down like broken kites, crashing heavily.

If Qi Jing hadn't been immune to this kind of mental abnormality, he might have fainted directly.

"Wow, it's really attacking. Last time it was water, this time it's a mental attack. What will it be next time?"

"Don't know."

Hong Wei retracted the thick layer of blood-colored killing intent covering the谪仙 Umbrella. His sharp, hawk-like eyes looked at the approaching行龙.

What kind of creature is it?

I really want to kill it with a single strike!

I wonder if You Xiaozi is alright.

Since Hong Wei was a frontline combatant, his headset wasn't connected to the various key nodes. He could only hear the Hunter, Cheng Tou's voice, in order to reduce the probability of being affected.

So he didn't know the situation of that unknown creature and You Tianxing.

"Qi Xiaozi, take a break. It seems that creature will attack us again in five minutes."

"Okay."

Qi Jing enlarged the novel interface in the lower-right corner of his view to half the size.

《The Fruit of Ability: Primordial Celestial Venerable, Chapter 2, The Fruit Granny of Tianshan's Broken Engagement》

Five minutes later.

"Below!"

A sharp mountain peak carrying black death energy attacked.

Ten and a half minutes later.

"Above."

A falling star-like giant meteorite with a diameter of half a kilometer fell rapidly with the sound of breaking through the air!

Sixteen minutes later.

"All directions, dodge!"

The air around their location exploded out of nowhere!

......

Sky, ground, elemental, mental, invisible, silent, all directions, all kinds of attacks, they suffered many times.

After these attacks, they precisely determined the interval between each attack to be three hundred and thirty-three seconds, without the slightest error.

Although they were able to dodge each time, it really consumed a lot of energy.

Even Qi Jing had only read up to Chapter Nine of the novel:

《The Fruit of Ability: Primordial Celestial Venerable, Chapter 9, The Watermelon Venerable's Three-Year Agreement》

"When will this end?"

I really want to read a novel without being disturbed.
