Chapter 339
Eternal Thief
Dustin finally noticed what has happened behind him when he heard cries of shock and resentment.
âBastards! What kind of traps did they just use?!â Dustin cursed out loud as he looked toward the Iron Demon Army.
However, he suddenly noticed Elianâs bewildered face at this moment and felt something was amiss.
âAttack them again quickly!â Elian truly didnât know what has happened, but somehow those Qi river core cultivators turned into twits and didnât block those cannonballs.
Because of this strange event, more than half of the Qi river core cultivators of Dark Gibbon Tribes were now gravely injured and some of them were dead or on the brink of death.
Thatâs why Elian decided to take advantage of this mishap and disarray in the Dark Gibbon Demon Army and decrease their numbers as much as possible. He also knew Dustin and Elder Kole canât block all those cannons, and the remaining river core cultivators of Iron Demon Tribe were going crazing over something.
âChief, my storage ring is missing, and this strange owl imprint has replaced it!â At this moment, one of the unharmed Qi river core gibbon demons loudly told Dustin about his missing storage ring with a voice full of indignation.
âWhat?!â Dustin was startled, and before he could say anything, another feminine voice rang.
âMy storage ring is also gone, but this strange owl imprint has appeared on the dorsal side of my hand and there is a name engraved in these wingsâ¦-sky⦠Sky Stealer!â She was shocked when she saw the gray fur on her hand was completely replaced with an owl imprint which was spreading its wings, and it looked quite vivid!
âFather! My Storage Ring is also gone missing and the same kind of owl had appeared on the dorsal side of my hand!â Gianni also howl at this moment as he trembled in rage when he saw all his wealth was replaced by a freaking owl imprint!
âJust what the fuck is going on? Elian, you despicable bastard, what did you do?!â Dustin felt he was going bonkers at this moment.
He never heard of this kind of trap before, and the situation has suddenly turned grave for his tribe because of this strange âtrapâ set up by Iron Demon Tribe!
Elianâs heart suddenly trembled when he heard the words, âSky Stealerâ, from that female gibbon demonâs mouth.
âCould it be that same thief? But how is this possible?â Elian didnât dare to believe his own speculation.
Nevertheless, he didnât show it to his face. He knew this was a chance. âAttack you, idiots, donât listen to them!â
The Iron Demon Tribe naturally know who Sky Stealer was, so those iron demons were also shocked when they heard dark gibbon demons repeating the name of their nemesis.
âYou despicable!â Dustin could only curse. He knew Elian had âplayedâ him, and he was going to pay an enormous price for his carelessness.
âLeave this attack to me, chief!â Elder Koleâs bitter voice rang at this moment.
âBut, Elder, will exhaust a huge amount of Qi!â Dustin wasnât willing to use Elder Koleâs entire power on mere cannons. He wanted to kill Elian after teaming up with Elder Kole.
But he also knew if Elder Kole didnât take charge, then all those hundred thousand demons behind him will die, and this kind of loss wasnât something he was willing to incur!
âBoom!â
It wasnât the sound of cannon; it was the sound of sealed Iron Demon Gates blasted open!
However, before anyone could make heads or tails of the situation, an extremely enraged and powerful voice filled with deadly momentum reverberates in the vicinity, making everyone almost deaf.
âScoundrel thief, hand over my storage ring!â
Everyone could finally see the demon who had just blasted the bronze city gates with a nine-star sealing array protecting it. This demon was none other than the first evaluator of this test, Demon Marquis Henrik Ocean!
Henrikâs eyes were deathly cold as he looked at Iron Demon Tribe as his both hands were clenching tightly into fists, and thick veins were popping out of his hands and forehead as if he was furious.
However, Henrik suddenly felt everyoneâs gaze on him suddenly turned very strange the moment their eyes landed on his face.
Henrik didnât pay much attention to this strangeness. He was completely enraged when he just found out that his storage ring was missing.
After he heard Dark Gibbon Tribeâs commotion, he found it strange and casually looked at his own storage ring and this simple gaze nearly made his soul leave his body because his storage ring was also gone!
Although he didnât find any owl mark or anything like that, his attention was quickly drawn by that iron demon he found snooping around. He clearly remembered this iron demon was the only demon he had come to contact with within the period of his storage ring going missing.
Furthermore, when that demon suddenly vanished at that time, he thought he was dead, so he thought little about it, but now that the more he thought, the more he found that iron demon strange.
First, he suddenly appeared from the forest right behind him, and then Henrik wasnât able to detect his cultivation for some reason before he showed himself, and lastly, his sudden disappearance.
Henrik couldnât help but wonder that the demon was probably there with malicious motives from the beginning, and he was his target!
Thatâs why Henrik quickly scan through the gibbon army outside and didnât find that iron demon, so he blasted open the gates since the other opening was packed with gibbon demons.
Now, Henrik was looking toward Iron Demon Tribe while releasing his martial sense to the fullest. He wonât let that thief escape, no matter what!
âMarquis Henrik, what happened?â New Moonâs calm voice entered everyoneâs ears at this moment, but there was a hint of excitement in his gentle voice!
Henrik turned back and saw New Moon on his wolf mount, but the moment New Moonâs eyes fell on him, he felt a New Moonâs gentle smile suddenly vanish.
New Moon spoke with a little hoarse voice, âMarquis Henrik, I think you should wash your face before we find the thief who stole your storage ring.â His face become stoic as if he was controlling it deliberately.
âWhy?â Henrik finally sense something was amiss as he touched his face and didnât find any dust or anything.
âTake a look.â New Moon conjured a mirror and throws it toward Henrik and remain stoic.
Henrik quickly catch the round mirror and looked at it and his heart turn cold when he saw a black owl imprint covering his entire ocean blue face.
This wasnât all. Inside the left open wing of this owl imprint, which was expanded until his left ear, there were written two imposing words in demon language, âSky Stealer. While on the right open wing were lines of words that were easily readable despite their small size.
It read,
â[I, Sky Stealer, stole this idiotâs ring right under his nose. I wonder if heâs really worthy of a Demon Marquis Title, or if Ocean Demon Tribe is blind?
â[Nonetheless, I would still like to thank you for all the treasures you collected for me in all these years. You were a tremendous help, and thatâs why I reward you with my glorious thief symbol right on your ugly face.
â[Not only itâll hide your hideous clown face, but it will also make everyone pay more attention to you, heh. Donât need to thank me. This is my duty as an honorable thief!]â
Henrikâs eye almost spitfire at first as he started reading, but, in the end, one could see thick veins on Henrikâs forehead, and he was on the verge of bursting them.
The mirror in his hand also shattered into dust just by his sheer deadly pressure.
âBasâ¦awwkkkâ¦â
Henrik just opened his mount to roar, but he puked blood in the end. His anger and hatred have reached new heights after he read that despicable message, which was a dirty slap on the entire ocean demon tribeâs face.
Furthermore, almost thousands of demons read it because of his cluelessness before, and he finally understood why they were all giving him strange glances. It was as if he had lost his entire face and his tribe.
However, he was still a soul realm expert, and he knew showing this kind of sight will only make things worse. The only way to gain back the face he lost was to capture that despicable thief and execute him publicly by skinning him alive!
Henrik suppressed the feeling of committing genocide and forming a water glob and throwing it at his face. He wanted to wash these words of disgrace from his face before hunting that thief down!
âItâs still there.â New Moon remained stoic as he said. He didnât mind the broken mirror.
He was feeling quite sorry for Henrik and the ocean demon tribe. If this news was released to the public, it would be a great blow to their prestige and then a disaster might come for Ocean Demon Tribe!
