MEIWITA Chapter 833: Qing Han, I Leave it to You

Lou Mu Yan smiled faintly when she heard Jiu You’s somewhat nervous words.

“Since ancient times, there is a saying, ‘to attempt to steal chickens only to lose one’s rice1’. I will let this group of aliens deeply experience the meaning of this sentence.”

Jiu You noticed that her entire body was filled with confidence and domineering brilliance. His eyes revealed admiration for her.

No wonder they could become the notorious Red-Clothed Twin Killers. Such flamboyance and unrestraint were something not everyone could possess.

“Then should we sit on the sidelines for the time being?” Huo You looked not far into the distance and furrowed his brows.

He lifted his head and looked at the corpses of his companions floating in the sky above among the stars, wishing he could just slaughter every single one of those aliens.

“Mm, they want to lure us into the game, so we’ll fish instead, luring the snake out of the hole, then specifically attack ‘seven inches below their heads’.” Lou Mu Yan shrugged.

She realised that those who stood beside her were also from the serpent race, so she apologised jokingly: “I’m just speaking figuratively, I don’t mean to target the serpent race.”

Jiu You didn’t care about her words and felt very comfortable for her kind her explanation. He laughed loudly: “HAHA, it doesn’t matter. Although our Nine-Headed Hydra clan is also a branch of the serpent race, but our bloodline is stronger than that of ordinary serpent races, and our weakness isn’t seven inches below our heads.”

As the name suggested, the Nine-Headed Hydra had nine serpent heads, and its body was extremely huge. Each snake head could spray highly toxic venom, but they didn’t have the shortcomings of all other serpent races, and no race knew where their real weaknesses laid.

“Tails, their weak point lies in the those several tiniest joints of the tail.” Mo Yan’s voice suddenly sounded in Lou Mu Yan’s sea of consciousness.

Lou Mu Yan’s expression remained unchanged, and while she telepathically spoke to Mo Yan merrily, “Mo Yan, you’re awake now?”

“Mm, I’ve finished refining the Black Lotus Sacred Flame. When this battle is over, find a place for me to advance to Celestial Unification Realm.” Mo Yan replied.

“Alright!” Then she chuckled: “How do you know the Nine-Headed Hydra’s weakness? If the Nine-Headed Hydra clan knew that the Spirit Devourers knew their weakness, then wouldn’t they die from anxiety.”

“I only knew of it by accident in the demon race. The other Spirit Devourers don’t know about it.” Mo Yan’s tsundere voice sounded again.

“I think Jiu You and Huo You aren’t bad, we should be able to befriend them right?” Lou Mu Yan asked.

“The nature of the Nine-Headed Hydra is as vicious as other serpent clans, but once you’re recognised by them, they’ll be very protective. The environment of the Foreign Battlefield would actually allow them to let go of their vigilance and befriend you.”

Mo Yan paused, then said: “After all, in the Foreign Battlefield, you have nothing to scheme against them, and instead, they’ll rely on you a lot.”

The demon race wasn’t as good at refining pills, and the Nine-Headed Hydra clan had no alchemists at grade 9. It was actually more beneficial for them to befriend Lou Mu Yan, whether it was on the Foreign Battlefield, or after they return to Guang’ling World.

Naturally, Jiu You wouldn’t let go of such a benefit, and they owed Lou Mu Yan a life, so they’d truly regard her as a friend and would protect her if anything happened in the future.

“As for the Fire Qi’lin clan, as an Ancient Divine Beast, they’re very proud, and prefers to be straightforward. Most of their actions are open and blunt. Once they acknowledge you, unless you betray them, otherwise they’re your friends forever. They’re also a very protective clan.” Mo Yan added.

“I discovered that there are quite a lot of demon race clans that are rather protective of their people.” Lou Mu Yan said with a faint smile.

“No, only demons with more noble bloodlines are more protective of their own people. Ordinary demons are, after all, demonic beasts who cultivated until they could transform, and are more individualistic. So, in fact, the human race and the sea race are more united.” Mo Yan said.

“Is the relationship between the Nine-Headed Hydra, the Fire Qi’lin and your Spirit Devourer clan good?” Lou Mu Yan asked.

“Each of the Nine Major Demon Clans are an overlord of a portion of the land. The Spirit Devourer clan is relatively low-profile and secretive. On the surface, it seems that they have a normal relationship with the other eight Major Demon Clans.” Mo Yan paused, then said: “When I was the Demon King, there was no deep friendship established with the two clans.”

“Then how’s their relationship with your enemies?” Lou Mu Yan continued to ask.

“The Nine-Headed Hydra clan and the Nine-Tailed Fox clan are hostile clans against each other. There are frequent wars between the two Demon Kingdoms, but the Nine-Headed Hydra has a good relationship with the Fire Qi’lin Clan, so the benefits outweigh the disadvantages if you befriend them.”

Mo Yan knew that Lou Mu Yan’s hard work in saving the members of the two Major Demon Clans was for his easier revenge in the future, and warm currents passed through his heart.

Lou Mu Yan’s eyes were radiant, and her lips curled up: “An enemy’s enemy is a friend.”

Her befriending Jiu You and Huo You weren’t entirely for the purpose of taking advantage of them. She really wanted to befriend these people, mostly with sincerity, but right now, the most important thing was being able to help Mo Yan.

And she wouldn’t use the two clans to do anything that would destroy a clan nor cause harm.

While the one person and one beast were chatting, the group of aliens had already approached.

The masked leader made a gesture to several other leaders in different directions.

The leaders immediately channelled elemental energy into a bead in their hands and the beads burst out with a strong light instantly, turning into a beam of light that fell straight around the periphery of Lou Mu Yan’s group.

Successively, five beams of light of different colours fell down to form a five-coloured light cover that surrounded Lou Mu Yan and her party.

“What’s this?” A Demon Cultivator from the Nine-Headed Hydra Clan exclaimed.

After he was enveloped by the five-coloured light circle, the demonic energy in his body was greatly suppressed, and he couldn’t even activate half of his strength.

“This is a consumption-type attack array, and it’s been integrated with the power of the five elemental domains.” Lou Mu Yan narrowed her eyes that were filled with high-spirits and belligerence.

The more challenging things were, the more she liked them. As long as they could break through the array of five elemental domains, then their comprehension will go even further. She might even be able to use this opportunity to breakthrough to Upper Unification Realm.

“Mu Yan, do you want to use this energy to comprehend?” Ye Qing Han loved Lou Mu Yan deeply, so he could guess her thoughts with every frown, smile, and gaze of hes.

Both Lou Mu Yan and Ming Xiu possessed the five attributes, had a deep grasp of domains, and most importantly, they were obsessed with the study of arrays.

This kind of grade 9 array involving domains might be very dangerous for others, and it may even be fatal, but for the two of them, it was a rare opportunity for research and comprehension that had sent itself to their door.

Lou Mu Yan nodded and asked with a faint smile: “Mm, does Qing Han have any suggestions?”

Since Ye Qing Han asked such things, then it meant that he must have some plans in mind.

“You can both comprehend at ease, I’ll hold out against this array first.” There was a smile on Ye Qing Han’s handsome face.

“This array can suppress the elemental energy in the body. When the elemental essence in the body is consumed by the array until there’s less than half left, the array will automatically launch an attack.”

Lou Mu Yan patted Ye Qing Han’s shoulder from behind, her eyes filled with trust, “Qing Han, I’ll leave it to you. Just call out to us when one-third of the elemental essence in your body’s consumed.”

“Alright!” Ye Qing Han nodded.

Lou Mu Yan and Ming Xiu exchanged a look, then tacitly took out their natal array compasses and began to study the flaws of the array.

Their entire mind was also fully invested in the domain of the five elements, and they began to explore and comprehend.

Ye Qing Han didn’t hesitate either and immediately utilised the peak-quality divine tool of the sea race in his body to envelop everyone.

The power of the divine tool immediately collided with the array, and the demons within the blue light cover discovered that the speed at which they were losing their elemental essences slowed down several times.

1to go to steal chickens, only to fail, and not only that, they lose what they already owned (the rice). I think there’s an English equivalent which is ‘go for wool and come home shorn’.
