World-saving Plan: The Only Savior

Chapter 1762 - 47: Plague Relics (Part 3)_2

"I understand, leave these guys to me."

Zhang Xiaoman nodded, taking on the task at hand.

This was his first action for the Lan Family; with this action, helping the Lan Family secure an entire Olharast Rock Vein, it could be said that he would have basically repaid the favor he owed to the Lan Family.

Previously, when searching for Lan Yue, Zhang Xiaoman revealed some of his strength to increase his bargaining chips, letting the Lan Family know his special qualities, thereby gaining the opportunity for the Star Pattern’s imprint. Unexpectedly, it would come in handy so soon.

However, Zhang Xiaoman didn’t speak too definitively. He only mentioned his strong resistance to toxin attacks, not claiming complete immunity.

At this moment, seeing him agree so readily, Lan Gu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

With this, as long as the Lan Family could secure this vein, even if the exploration trip to the Plague Relics ended here, it would not be a loss.

This amount of Olharast Rock was considered top-grade supplies that could influence a war. The equipment forged from them would greatly advantage the Lan Family in the upcoming battles against the Rothschild family.

"Ji Xing, the toxin effects within the Plague Relics are very strong, even we can’t withstand them head-on. Although you can resist the Poison King Guard’s attacks, do not be careless. If it gets too much, don’t force it. I will think of other solutions."

Lan Gu advised cautiously.

Zhang Xiaoman was not like those ordinary Control Level disciples. He was a powerful ally he brought into the relics; existing at the same level of power as himself, Lan Gu naturally did not wish for Zhang Xiaoman to fall here, as it would greatly affect his plans.

Zhang Xiaoman hadn’t expected the other party to suddenly say such seemingly concerned words at this moment. However, he quickly understood the reasoning behind it and immediately nodded to indicate he understood.

No matter what, since he had accepted the commission to help, he would treat it seriously, at least when helping the Lan Family to secure this Olharast Vein. He would no longer owe them any favors. After all, emotional debts have always been the hardest to repay. With this foundation, Zhang Xiaoman was very willing to do his utmost to help them eliminate the monsters below.

Flying to the vicinity of the vein, this was the frontline where many Lan Family disciples were fighting against the monsters. The monsters were not purely mindless beasts; they clearly possessed a high level of intelligence. After repelling those Lan Family disciples, they did not mindlessly rush out to chase, as doing so would directly expose them to the opponent’s firepower.

"Extreme Star Elder?"

A middle-aged man enveloped in a silvery-white glow approached, asking Zhang Xiaoman:

"Lan Gu said you could resist the toxins of these monsters, is that true?"

This person was another elder of the Lan Family. Although he appeared only middle-aged, he had already lived for thousands of years, known as Lan Li, and also possessed Peak Control Level strength.

Zhang Xiaoman did not deny his words. After nodding and greeting him, he focused on observing the monsters below, beginning to analyze their strengths.

Clearly, each monster in this so-called Plague Army possessed impressive power, numbering around two thousand. Suppose more than one-tenth have strength above Control Level, and the rest are not weak. Combined with the added poison mist, even ordinary Control Level disciples would find it challenging to surpass them.

"Demon Clan... these guys, I think I can handle them..."

After analyzing the strength of both sides, Zhang Xiaoman came to a conclusion in his heart.

Indeed, the Plague Army was the Demon Clan Army, and the Plague God’s identity was also a Transcendent Level expert within the Demon Clan.

Among these monsters below, a small portion seemed to be Primordial Demon Clan, while the majority should be Derivative Demon Clan. Judging by some fragmented outfits, these Derivative Demon Clan likely evolved from humans who previously explored here, transformed into members of the Demon Clan after being attacked for some reason.

Zhang Xiaoman summarized in his heart, but he had no intention of using his Holy Attribute abilities to eradicate these demons.

After all, this wasn’t the First Universe, and the people of the Lan Family were watching. Using Holy Attribute power rashly wasn’t beneficial for him.

Although the Lan Family wouldn’t inform the Demon Lord of anything, there might be someone from Lan later who would spread this news, and when the Demon Clan learned of it, it would be troublesome for him.

He was acutely aware that the Demon Lord massacred the Holy Angel Clan to cut off the power of the Holy Attribute. Because indeed, it was a means capable of posing a significant threat to the Demon Clan, their nemesis.

Just that, without using the power of the Holy Attribute, how could he quickly and effectively kill these demons?

Zhang Xiaoman thought about it and immediately recalled an ability he hadn’t used recently.

Flame Python!

If any attribute aside from the Holy Attribute could inflict considerable damage on the Demon Clan, it would naturally be the Fire Attribute.

The continuous attack effect of the Fire Attribute can effectively suppress the Undying characteristic of the Demon Clan. However, compared to other Star Beasts, dealing with the demons requires more intense flames. In fact, apart from the Holy Attribute, this is true no matter which attribute’s power is used, but fire is relatively more effortless.

Thinking led to action, and Zhang Xiaoman didn’t linger. Now, donning the Star Shining Armor, he radiated dazzling light like a Constant Star, swooping down from the sky, crashing into the swarm of monsters.

The Lan Family’s disciples had already received retreat orders in advance, now retreating from the Demon Clan’s range of engagement, standing in the sky watching the battle below.

As Zhang Xiaoman crashed in, several nearby demons were pulverized instantly, and the poison mist wrapped around him in a moment, engulfing his figure.

In the sky, Lan Gu and others focused intently on everything happening below. However, the poison mist’s ability to block the line of sight and isolate Spiritual Power made it impossible for them to see clearly.

"Big brother, do you think that kid can manage? These poison mists can’t be withstood even by the strongest Anti-poison Talismans, and he just rushed in like that, could he..."

The speaker was a relatively young-looking man, seemingly close to Lan Gu, likely a close kin within the clan, also a Lan Family elder, but slightly less powerful than Lan Gu, possessing only Upper Control Level strength.

"Lan Ji, I trust him. You shouldn’t underestimate the strength of a Peak Control Level. Although the poison mists of those demons are fierce, there are many things in this world we don’t know. With countless magics, there are always those we’ve never seen. Just watch closely."

"I understand."

The young man replied and turned his attention back to the battle below.

Amid the sky’s anxious or hopeful gazes, the billowing poison mist below finally showed a reaction. A figure suddenly darted out, followed by countless terrifying monsters chasing after him with roars.

"Haha, it seems that kid has done quite a job killing those guys inside."

Seeing this, a faint smile finally appeared on Lan Gu’s previously calm face.
