CHAPTER 571: CHAPTER 571: THE SECOND NETHER STONE, NETHER SKY STONE!

Whoosh!

The Flowing Gold Warrior flickered and appeared in front of Chen Zijin.

With a casual strike, he easily broke through Chen Zijin’s full-force block.

Just as he was about to slash down—

WHOOSH!

Zhang Yue suddenly blinked, teleporting in front of Chen Zijin, and released an SSS-rank Magic Shield to block the Flowing Gold Warrior’s attack.

This strike directly shattered the Magic Shield, which had 600% attack power value.

It also marked the first close-range contact between Zhang Yue and the Flowing Gold Warrior.

Only for a brief moment.

Zhang Yue cast at close range, and with SSS-rank Thunderous Might, heavily knocked back the Flowing Gold Warrior.

At the same time, a thirty-winged Armageddon Black Dragon swooped past above Zhang Yue’s head, opened its bloody maw, and breathed a wave of scorching flames, aiming at the Flowing Gold Warrior.

On the other side, a Armageddon Black Dragon also appeared, using the same method to breathe fire.

The dragon flames of the two Armageddon Black Dragons collided and burst out a powerful shockwave, knocking both sides back.

Chen Zijin was shocked, "Why are there two Armageddon Black Dragons?"

Zhang Yue immediately recognized, "That’s the Lord of Wrath."

Sure enough, in the next second, the other Armageddon Black Dragon transformed into a black shadow, settling beside the Flowing Gold Warrior.

That black shadow was precisely one of the three main gods who could freely change forms: Lord of Wrath · Jie’e.

At this moment, the Flowing Gold Warrior suddenly opened his mouth to Zhang Yue, "If you want the Nether Stone, come find me at the Hell Arena."

After speaking, the Flowing Gold Warrior flicked out a "flying blade" at Zhang Yue.

Chen Zijin, quick-eyed and deft-handed, swiftly swung her blade to block the flying blade. When it hit the ground, she realized: it wasn’t some hidden weapon, it was a letter.

When Zhang Yue looked ahead again, he saw: the Flowing Gold Warrior and the Lord of Wrath had already vanished into a golden rift that had opened behind them.

Zhang Yue frowned slightly.

He hadn’t expected that after finally finding the second Nether Stone, it would be snatched away by this guy.

And this guy clearly didn’t dare confront Zhang Yue head-on.

Every time, he escaped in the heat of battle.

Zhang Yue couldn’t figure out how someone could be both bold and cowardly at the same time.

He bent down and picked up the letter embedded like a blade in the ground, finding it appeared to be an invitation.

The envelope’s cover bore a golden skull emblem.

And in the annotation, there was only one simple line, [Hell Arena’s Entry Pass, With this invitation, you are qualified to enter the Hell Arena...]

At this moment, Cherry flapped her wings and hovered beside Zhang Yue, pinching her chin thoughtfully as she said, "Dead guy, do you smell something?"

"The smell of a trap."

Zhang Yue chuckled, "What else could it be, you think he invited me to the arena for tea?"

In the end, Zhang Yue only regretted one thing, "Pity, the Nether Stone was stolen."

Just then, Chen Zijin beside him suddenly revealed a "strange" smile. She looked at Zhang Yue and said, "Zhang Yue, let me show you a magic trick."

At this moment, Chen Zijin was actually thinking of how to cheer him up, truly treating Zhang Yue like a little kid.

Zhang Yue was speechless, "Even if you’re older than me on the surface, my mental age is older than yours."

"Come on, look, this trick I just learned... Forget it, you probably won’t think it’s interesting~"

As she spoke, Chen Zijin clasped her hands together, and when she opened them, a stone emitting a dark red glow appeared in her palm...

’The Nether Stone?’

Zhang Yue’s heart trembled violently.

"How is... this in your hand?"

The one Chen Zijin held was precisely the Nether Stone that had emerged from the Flame Python’s body earlier.

"How about that? I told you I could do magic, right?", Chen Zijin smiled sweetly at Zhang Yue.

Only then did Zhang Yue realize, "So, just now while you pretended to fight him... you were actually trying to steal the Nether Stone?"

"Do I look that dumb?", Chen Zijin replied, "His aura was on par with yours. How could I possibly beat him? Of course I wasn’t going to throw my life away."

"So even if I can’t beat him, it’s still pretty easy for me to snatch something from him."

At this moment, even Zhang Yue couldn’t help but look at Chen Zijin in a new light, "Didn’t expect you had such talent."

Chen Zijin giggled, "I’m not a burden, right?"

"You’re definitely not a burden," Zhang Yue said.

In his heart, he thought: ’You’re practically my lucky star.’

At first, by a twist of fate, he accidentally discovered the other side of the Super Volcano Island in order to save Chen Zijin and encountered the hidden BOSS Flame Python.

If it weren’t for Chen Zijin, Zhang Yue wouldn’t have run into the Flame Python, and would’ve missed the Nether Stone altogether.

Zhang Yue never expected that Chen Zijin would even snatch the Nether Stone back from the other guy.

Zhang Yue looked at the Nether Stone in his hand and found that this was the [Nether Sky Stone].

Together with the Nether Black Stone already in his possession, now only the Nether Earth Stone and Nether Yellow Stone remained.

Seems like he’d need to keep a sharper eye out moving forward.

Judging by the origins of the Nether Sky Stone and Nether Black Stone, the hiding places of the Nether Stones were anything but ordinary.

If you weren’t careful, it’d be easy to brush past one and miss it completely.

There were still over thirty minutes until the Super Volcano Island restarted.

Before that, after Zhang Yue finished handling the Flame Python’s loot, he and Chen Zijin sat down together on a clearing.

After all, all the Flame Birds on the entire island had been killed, and now that the final boss was taken down, the volcano island was left with no living beings besides Zhang Yue and Chen Zijin, not even any mobs to grind.

The two just sat there.

In the quiet atmosphere, there was a hint of awkwardness.

Then, Chen Zijin suddenly realized a problem, "There’s a barrier around the volcano island, how did those two get out just now?"

They had now run into that Flowing Gold Warrior twice, each time he appeared through a golden light screen.

From this, one could infer that he probably had an ability like summoning spatial rifts, which allowed him to bypass map restrictions and move across regions.

After reaching that conclusion, Zhang Yue replied to Chen Zijin, "No idea."

Chen Zijin: "Then what were you thinking about for so long? I thought you knew..."

After a pause, Chen Zijin asked again, "Looks like you two knew each other already. How did you meet? And how did you become enemies?"

"That armored warrior didn’t seem any weaker than you. And that thing beside him could even change shape into your Armageddon Black Dragon. Super powerful."

"Definitely powerful," Zhang Yue increasingly felt a sense of threat from the man.

It was like he was in the light while the enemy lurked in the dark.

Every move of his was completely exposed to the opponent.

And the opponent, could appear at any moment to catch him off guard with a fatal blow.

Seems like it was necessary to thoroughly investigate that guy’s background.
