The Buffalo Criminal Boss’ bone knife grated against Sheyan’s finger bones, but it met with great resistance. Although the monster was fierce by nature, when its eyes made contact with Sheyan’s fiery gaze, it could not help but feel slightly intimidated by Sheyan’s determination to fight to the death!
The Buffalo Criminal Boss had more strength than Sheyan, but not enough to cause crushing damages. Its bone knife actually grew from its upper arm, so it could not throw it away like a normal weapon. Therefore, he was stuck there with Sheyan for two seconds.
Although in the end Sheyan was kicked away by the monster, Dardanian and the other contestants had already completed their spell chants by then. ‘Power of the Sprouting Seed’ and ‘Chain Lightning’ landed simultaneously on the Buffalo Criminal Boss’ other aneurysm. The horrifying destructive power knocked the monster off balance, almost causing it to fall down the gorge five or six meters away.
Right then, a compound spell released by Pokan came into effect.
The compound spell was a combination of ‘Magma’ and ‘Instant Solidification’.
The ‘Magma’ spell was performed by Stone Blader Raijo. It instantly created a lava pool that was 1 meter in diameter under the enemy’s feet, causing the enemy to sink down and suffer severe magma damage.
‘Instant Solidification’ was a low-level spell. Before this, when the team encountered attacks from aquatic creatures on the river, Pokan had used this spell to instantly create vast tracts of land in the river to leave those ferocious creatures stranded. The ground that was lifted up from the riverbed was always going to be wet and muddy, so ‘Instant Solidification’ was needed to solidify the mud into hard ground.
This compound spell that Pokan created was actually very sinister.
If a man suddenly fell into a knee-deep magma pool while he was in the middle of a fight, imagine the gut-wrenching pain that would cause. And while his flesh was being burned and melted down, imagine if the magma pool suddenly solidified….It would become a powerful crowd control spell!
Of course, the MP consumption of a compound spell was astonishing. For example, if ‘Magma’ consumed 20 MP and ‘Instant Solidification’ consumed 5 MP, then the MP cost of the compound spell was not (20 + 5), but (20 x 5)!
Pokan’s greatest problem was that he would often find himself lacking MP. This problem was especially prominent after his symbiotic elemental creature became Stone Blader Raijo.
Although Stone Blader Raijo was powerful, it also meant higher MP consumption for Pokan. A sports car would never have the same fuel consumption as an economy car.
This time, thanks to Aldaris casting ‘Spiritual Torrent’ with the help of the ‘Mage-Nemesis’ to absorb the enemy’s MP and feed it to Pokan, Pokan’s MP deficiency problem was barely solved. Pokan instantly took the opportunity to perform such a vicious spell!
The Buffalo Criminal Boss was in a terrible predicament. It was on the verge of falling into the nearby gorge after losing its balance, but its left foot was suddenly burned and stuck in the earth!
There were only three possible outcomes for the Buffalo Criminal Boss.
The first was to continue being hung in mid air from its foot.
The second was to shatter the solidified lava and fall into the gorge.
The third was to snap his leg. The leg would stay where it was, while the rest of his body would fall into the gorge.
While the Buffalo Criminal Boss was falling just now, there was actually a clear crack coming from its leg as it got stuck in the solidified magma, but the leg still managed to support the creature in mid-air.
Sheyan and Ronnie, despite being bathed in blood, seized the opportunity to rush at the Buffalo Criminal Boss. With their daggers and saber, they slashed madly at its leg that was already heavily-injured!
The Buffalo Criminal Boss screamed bitterly and stomped its other foot on the cliff with great force. It finally managed to struggle loose and fall down the gorge, but its left leg looked smaller than it was before and had blood gushing out of it. Because the solidified magma had already stuck to the flesh on its left leg, when the Buffalo Criminal Boss forcefully pulled its feet out, a layer of flesh was torn away like trousers being taken off.
Although the left leg of the Buffalo Criminal Boss was not broken in two, it was no doubt already half-crippled….
By the time the creature got up heavily from the ground, it found that the enemies had silently crowded around it again. Their eyes were as evil as the eyes of hungry wolves, sending chills down its back.
After another round of crazy attacks, the Buffalo Criminal Boss’ eyes were already showing traces of despair and madness. It knew that if things continued like this, it would surely die here, and it would die a slow and painful death.
At that moment, however, the tough enemy bathed in blood that reminded it of a tall mountain suddenly stepped out and glared at it. He slowly said in words that the Buffalo Criminal Boss could understand,
Do you want to live, or do you want to die?

The Buffalo Criminal Boss certainly did not want to die, but it still clenched its teeth tight and refused to speak. Sheyan continued slowly,
My condition is simple. I just want to have a look at your
Holy Land
. We know that your Holy Land contains a mysterious power that can strengthen life. There are some terrible diseases lurking in our bodies, so we need the power of the Holy Land to cure ourselves.

The Buffalo Criminal Boss finally responded. It was clear that Sheyan’s condition was completely out of its expectations and within its scope of acceptance. The creature gasped and started to communicate with Sheyan in a snake-like hissing voice.

How would I know if you’re telling the truth?


If I weren’t, would I have stopped attacking you and wasted my time talking to you? I’d just kill you and let your tribe lose its leader. With the terrible internal strife your tribe is suffering right now, it won’t take much effort for us to occupy your territory and home,
replied Sheyan flatly.
Although the Buffalo Criminals were intelligent creatures, they still had primitive habits. Like wild beasts, they attached great importance to their territory of influence. After listening to Sheyan’s explanation, the Boss was already inclined to believe him.
It confirmed one last time in a hoarse voice,
You’ll leave right after you cure your diseases?


We’ll stay for a day and a half at most!
answered Sheyan.
Although two of the Buffalo Criminal Boss’ eyes had been blinded, it still had two more eyes that could see, and they were currently shaking back and forth as he contemplated. The creature nodded after a while.

Okay. I’ll take you there.

Sheyan suddenly said,
I’m sorry to say this, but to avoid any accidents from happening, we’ll have to make you wear a set of heavy rock armour. You’re simply too strong. If we hadn’t ambushed you just now, we would have definitely been the ones who would’ve lost.

The Buffalo Criminal Boss’ eyes burned, but in the end, it agreed to Sheyan’s condition. If worse came to worst, it still had a very strong last resort: self-explosion! The power of its self-explosion was even greater than the Predator’s bomb, so it was confident that it could bring the whole lot of them down with it if anything went wrong!
Under that awkward atmosphere, both sides came to an agreement. However, the Buffalo Criminal Boss silently let the explosive force surge in its body several times to let the contestants sense its existence before allowing Pokan to create a heavy rock armour on its body.
Sheyan never expected that the Buffalo Criminal Boss would not take off this rock armour from now on. The monster was more of a spellcaster anyway, so even though the rock armour slowed its movement down, it also boosted the monster’s defence significantly. It had always run rampant in this area, but this time, the contestants had forced it close to death, so it valued its life more than ever after this. The rock armour ended up becoming a very precious treasure to it.
The monster actually found a strange sense of security after putting on the extremely thick rock armour. Although the armour was very heavy, the monster did not show any displeasure at all. Instead, it became quite motivated.
Following in the heavy footsteps of the Buffalo Criminal Boss, the group came to a place at the deepest part of the valley. The creature led them into the cave it dwelled in which was quite spacious and bright. It was not dirty or messy in the slightest.
After more than twenty meters into the cave, they reached a large hall where a lot of Kurut ores were piled up. The Buffalo Criminal Boss picked up a handful and ate it all like it was chewing peanuts.
At that moment, Sheyan had a strange feeling. He saw an ore bigger than a grinding disc sitting in a corner. This ore was originally a very common claystone and was very soft, formed from sediments that had settled at the bottom of a river for thousands of years. It was totally incomparable to granite.
Claystones were in fact very common, but….but what caught Sheyan’s attention were the objects glittering on the claystone. They were something Sheyan had been eagerly searching for all this while – Lacrimal Stones! The Lacrimal Stones on the claystone were so numerous that the claystone might as well be a Lacrimal Stone mineral vein!
Without waiting for Sheyan, the liquid metal life-form had already acted on its own. It turned into a large mass of silvery-white parachute-like film and greedily wrapped around the claystone….
