Chapter 947: Counter Kill (2)
Xiong Gang and the others were shocked, while Master Jin was delighted. Even Li Xiaofei was taken aback. He could clearly sense that the flames just now were anything but ordinary. Their power was immense, enough to reduce even a peak level seven Reaper to ashes in an instant.
If a level eight being were struck by that fire, they might survive, but only barely, and likely with severe injuries. This time, Li Xiaofei had truly underestimated something. He had nearly dismissed all these items as worthless scraps.
“Wahahaha!” Master Jin laughed triumphantly, one hand on his waist. “So what if you four were faster to grab stuff? The true treasure still landed in my hands. Hahaha!”
Xiong Gang was silent, but only for three seconds. Then he also struck a pose, one hand on his hip, and burst into laughter. He said, “Wahaha! So your fire’s strong, so what? You still can’t do a damn thing to my pot... I counter you completely!”
Master Jin was speechless.
Damn. That... is kind of true.
Meanwhile, the square-faced middle-aged man looked down at the giant skewer he had taken and fiddled with it, hoping to discover something special. But nothing happened.
The woman who had grabbed the barbecue rack also examined her prize carefully. Still, she found nothing unusual about it. In fact, compared to the giant skewer, the rack looked even more awkward. Wielding it in battle would be utterly ridiculous. She quietly fell into silence.
Li Xiaofei’s thoughts stirred, and he spoke up, “Maybe these items have some special function when used together.”
The five others immediately lit up. Of course. These objects had originally been part of the same setup. They began experimenting without delay, and soon enough, their efforts bore fruit.
When Master Jin lit the fire with his enchanted stick and the flames began to burn brightly, the iron skewer, the barbecue rack, and the black pot all started to glow with a strange light. Bathed in the flickering firelight, the entire area became shrouded in a hazy, amber mist.
This hazy glow resembled the effect of a formation shield. Li Xiaofei tested it multiple times. Without invoking the Blood-Drinking Sword, he found himself unable to break through the amber mist. Even his most powerful strikes couldn’t affect Zhu Zhixun and the others standing inside it in the slightest.
