Chapter 184 - The Hunt is the Real Investment

"Have you people of the Luofu finally gone mad?"

An androgynous voice emerged from within the black box.

"Back then, that Foxian tried to perish together with me."

"Thanks to her, my body dissipated, and my consciousness fell into silence. My final ending was the same as hers, leaving behind only a mess of flesh and blood on the ground."

"None of you were sure if that flesh and blood was mine, yet you still imprisoned me in this box, suppressing me in this sunless hell of a prison for hundreds of years."

Shuhu's words carried a hint of amusement, seemingly mocking the sudden whim of the Luofu today.

"If I were you, I would never open this box even the slightest bit."

"The flesh imprisoned within the box."

"There is a fifty percent probability it is me, and a fifty percent probability it is not."

The aura of the "Abundance" Path became increasingly intense, filling the entire Shackling Prison in nearly an instant.

"You cannot afford to gamble."

Thick, sturdy branches extended from the box; Shuhu seemed to want to use this opportunity to break out directly.

"Shuhu..."

Upon seeing this, Jing Yuan's expression subconsciously became grave.

"He truly isn't dead. So the one in that box really is Him!"

As someone who had once seen Shuhu's appearance with his own eyes, Jing Yuan certainly knew that His true form was a Thousand-Faced Grotesque Tree.

And the branches extending from this box were no different from what he had seen back then. This undoubtedly proved the identity of the person in the box.

Those branches, without a doubt!

It was the strongest undead spirit ever buried by the Xianzhou Alliance!

Shuhu, a figure legendary enough to sit and discuss the Dao with Yaoshi.

Even looking at all the "Emanators" in the galaxy, He was in the absolute top tier!

But...

Jing Yuan was surprisingly calm.

One had to know that every time the Xianzhou Alliance saw Shuhu in the past, they had psychological trauma, like a vanguard who had just lost their master seeing a tiger king.

But this time, his calmness was uncharacteristic, and he even felt that Shuhu was nothing special.

Not only because he had just seen the four-Path Lord Ravager Jingliu suffer defeat.

Jing Yuan looked at the back of the figure ahead, carrying a long bow on his shoulder.

It was more because the 'thigh' was right here.

So what if he, Jing Yuan, couldn't beat Shuhu? Would Shuhu dare to exchange a few moves with this lord?

One arrow to kill the dream of "Abundance"; Sir, I am a man of "The Hunt"!

"Because for an Emanator of 'The Abundance', as long as He has one breath left, hundreds of years is enough for Him to live another life!"

Shuhu boasted loudly, and the black box agitated wildly!

He began to exert force, intending to truly break the vessel!

—Snap!

But in the next second, an incredibly loud sound of the box closing echoed in the space of the prison cell!

Leon stood firm as a mountain, instantly sealing the black box shut.

With a burst of stats that knew not the immensity of heaven and earth, he stopped Shuhu from breaking out!

He threw the black box forward.

"What the hell are you posturing for?"

Taking the bow, drawing the string, condensing the arrow, and firing—a set of highly technical movements flowed like moving clouds and flowing water!

A bright purple light arrow struck the black box squarely, without bias!

With a bang, Imaginary energy sufficient to annihilate a galaxy exploded within the box!

Just when Jing Yuan thought it was resolved, a burst of light green radiance filled with vitality suddenly lit up.

A moment later, the light dissipated.

A strange giant tree with a thousand faces, its entire body covered in human faces, appeared in everyone's line of sight.

"That was close. I was almost killed by you."

The transparent avatar of "Yaoshi" had appeared behind Shuhu at some unknown point.

Unsurprisingly, it was this avatar that had just blocked that arrow from Leon for Him.

"Is this the Xianzhou Alliance's trump card?"

Although Shuhu had been forced to reveal His greatest trump card right at the start.

"No wonder you dared to suddenly open my box."

He still had to talk tough.

"So it was premeditated."

Shuhu looked at Leon. To say there was no pressure would definitely be impossible.

The magnitude of "The Hunt" on this man was ridiculously high!

That arrow just now had made Him feel the existence of so-called death even more directly than the Foxian who had tried to perish with Him using the black sun.

He was an Emanator of "The Abundance"!

If there was any existence in the galaxy that was the hardest to kill, Shuhu absolutely occupied one of those spots securely.

And He was ranked among the top!

Yet even He had nearly been killed by a single arrow!

Shuhu was under immense pressure.

No, where did the Xianzhou Alliance find such a monster?

Did they pull such a big gold five-star from the gacha?

"He is indeed much stronger than Tengxiao, but if I want to leave, he still can't stop me."

Shuhu took a deep breath. At this time, He absolutely could not reveal any panic.

He had to pretend to have a well-thought-out plan; otherwise, it would only accelerate the arrival of death.

Moreover, what He said wasn't entirely stubborn posturing.

With the avatar of "Yaoshi" present, Shuhu dared to guarantee that Leon absolutely did not have the ability to securely eat Him alive.

He might be strong,

But the tenacious vitality and invincible self-healing power of "The Abundance" were not to be trifled with!

If He wanted to leave, Leon really might not be able to stop Him!

Shuhu was eighty percent confident He could escape from the Luofu today; as for escaping unscathed, that would be a bit difficult.

In short, just one sentence:

Don't panic, watch His mechanics!

"You have some foundation."

Leon glanced at Him, then his gaze never left Yaoshi behind Him.

"Foundation?"

Shuhu feigned the appearance of a master, speaking in a tone as light as wind and clouds.

"You actually think this is my foundation?"

"Heavenly General of The Hunt, when I was discussing the Dao with Yaoshi, you weren't even born yet!"

Shuhu put on the airs of a veteran.

Leon couldn't be bothered to talk to Him; He wasn't worthy of listening.

He raised his bow.

Shuhu closely watched the movements of his hands, guarding against his next attack.

But in the next second,

The scene before Him made Shuhu freeze in place!

Flames of dark blue mixed with a hint of purple ignited on Leon's body.

Much more condensed than "Yaoshi", almost materializing as if the deity Himself had descended—"Lan"...

Appeared behind him!

"Kid, 'The Hunt' is the one truly invested."

"Yaoshi" is known as the Selfless God.

As long as you make a request, He will definitely grant you a perfectly matching blessing.

But "Lan", among many "Aeons", is the one most approachable to humans.

Not only did He completely open His Path to the Xianzhou Alliance, but He was even willing to listen to their calls and come to aid. It could be said He gave them enough face.

So, between the two, which side is truly invested?

As an Envoy of "The Abundance", the avatar of "Yaoshi" held by Shuhu was far inferior to the avatar of "Lan" manifested by Leon, this Envoy of "The Hunt".

There was no need to say who was truly invested, right?

"If you don't have the stats, don't act tough."

Leon drew his bow, syncing perfectly with the "Lan" who was one with his will!

Shuhu subconsciously wanted to flee, but locked on by "Causality", He had nowhere to run.

By the time He came back to his senses,

Leon's arrow had already assaulted His face!

And "Lan's" arrow also struck "Yaoshi" squarely!

"You...!"

Lingering shock appeared on all of Shuhu's thousands of faces, but the "Law of Causality" attached to the arrow left Him no time to marvel.

"Aeon" level causality.

He could not resist it no matter what; there was no second option other than accepting fate.

In merely a moment, after one arrow.

Shuhu, who had been arrogant for hundreds of Amber Eras, ceased to exist.

He met His curtain call.

Once, a true death!

"Maggot."

Having finished everything, Leon slowly lowered the raised bow.

Just as he was preparing to proceed to the next step—

A sudden mutation of "The Abundance" occurred!
