Chapter 178: Bargaining

There was no water in the barrier. Once the chain touched air, the yellow light on it immediately disappeared.

Di Lingtian reached his fingertips out of the barrier and touched a drop of water.

As soon as the droplet landed on the metal chain, specks of earth element light immediately lit up. After absorbing the droplet completely, the specks of earth element disappeared again.

Curious, Jun Mohuang reached out and poured some water on the chains. It was also absorbed by the earth element light spots.

At a given amount, earth elements could suppress water elements.

It seemed that the octopus was of water type and was restrained by the earth element dark iron. It could not escape nor use water-type attacks.

From this, it could be deduced that weapons made of earth element dark iron could counter water-type attacks.

Jun Mohuang suddenly felt that she had picked up a treasure. This type of dark iron was extremely tough and even had the element of earth. It was the best choice to refine a weapon.

She immediately pulled Di Lingtian towards the source of the eight chains.

The eight chains were about 2,000 meters long and originated from an underwater valley.

A palm-wide crack appeared in the valley. It was bottomless and eight chains extended from it.

It was obvious that when the eight chains were nailed into the ground, the ground cracked because of the excessive force.

At the bottom of each chain was a palm-sized golden mark.

Jun Mohuang walked forward and saw that the golden mark was oval in shape with five words on it.

These five words were written in an ancient style that was similar to Xiaozhuan.

If it was in Xiaozhuan, she would have recognized it immediately.

Jun Mohuang looked at Di Lingtian for help.

“It must be an ancient language from Cangyuan Continent. No one has known it since a long time ago.”

Di Lingtian stood behind her and stroked her little head.

From an angle Jun Mohuang couldn’t see, there was coldness and murderous intent surging in his eyes.

His aura was no longer as gentle as it usually was around her. It had become fierce and ruthless.

How could he not recognize these words?

He knew who his mortal enemy was, even if it was reduced to ashes.

He did not expect that person to have reached out to Cangyuan Continent so long ago.

Jun Mohuang’s full attention was on the chains, so she did not notice his mood shifts.

She copied the mark on paper.

Previously, when she went to the Jun Family’s forbidden area, she did not check carefully whether there was a similar mark at the end of the metal chain that held the Gold-Swallowing Beast.

She wanted to enter the Jun Family’s forbidden area again when she returned to Huan City.

After imprinting the mark, Jun Mohuang looked at Di Lingtian with a hopeful heart.

With her current strength, she was still unable to break these eight chains.

The moment she turned around, Di Lingtian retracted his murderous intent and became gentle and harmless again.

He gave her a knowing look.

No matter what happened in the past, everything was different with her by his side now.

At the thought of this, his lips curled up involuntarily and his heart softened again.

Jun Mohuang was helpless. She thought she could get past him with those puppy eyes.

She had no choice but to pull his head down and kiss his face.

“Eight chains, just a kiss on the face?”

Di Lingtian wrapped his arms around her waist and raised his eyebrows. He was obviously not satisfied with this bit of labor fees.

This person was really annoying, but she needed his help.

Jun Mohuang bit her lips and kissed him quickly.

She wanted to run after the kiss, but Di Lingtian’s hand was faster than hers. He grabbed the back of her head and kissed her deeply.
