Chapter 180 - Late-night Visitor
“Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap…”
The black-robed man clapped his hands and said, “Well said, then these two elemental God stones belong to me. I don’t want to make enemies with you. Don’t chase after me anymore or you’ll die a horrible death…”
The black-robed man’s voice was very unpleasant, like the sound of glass rubbing against glass.
Douglas felt that there was no need to make a big deal out of it. He said in a negotiating tone, “Let’s exchange! There’s an antique that’s more valuable than this diamond. My friend needs it.”
“That won’t do! My master likes this diamond very much. His birthday is in two days. I have to bring this back!” As the black-robed man spoke, he gradually raised his head as if he wanted to prove his master’s noble identity.
“You’d better be smart and stop chasing…”
Locke took a step forward and looked at him coldly. “Do I agree to let you have it?”
After sizing him up, the black-robed man chuckled and said, “Oh? Isn’t that the great hero of the Sacred City, Locke? You’re really well-informed. If I don’t give it to you, what can you do?”
After picking his ears, Locke sighed. “Sigh… That might break both feet and paralyze the lower half of my body! I’ve been a bit heavy recently…”
These words completely angered the black-robed man. “Brat! You dare to talk to me like that? Do you know who my master is?”
“Know my *ss! You better not provoke me! You’re just a follower!”
Locke was most annoyed by these dog servants who used their power to intimidate others.
“So, what if it’s divine rank 3 Battle Beasts? I’m not afraid of you!” Hearing Locke insult him like this, the black-robed man was displeased.
At this moment, Locke felt something approaching from behind him.
“Dang!”
The shield formed by fire elements stood behind Locke and successfully blocked a heavy blow!
However, looking around, Locke did not find any Battle Beasts!
“Be careful, this fellow’s Battle Beast’s movements are strange. Up until now, I haven’t seen that thing…” Douglas said in a low voice.
Locke also felt strange. He immediately summoned the Twin-headed White Jade Snake to strengthen his realm.
“Hehe… The entire night is my Battle Beast. I don’t mind killing you two…” The black-robed man’s eyes were vicious.
Since Hua Dou had said that, there was naturally no need to be polite.
Then, the attacks continued from other directions.
However, Locke, who had a strong defense, used his fire elemental to block them all.
Seeing that there was an opening, Douglas had the four Gold-armored Skeleton Squad warriors attack the black-robed man with sharp axes.
“Hit!”
However, Douglas’ expectations were still disappointed.
There seemed to be some invisible transparent shield in front of the black-robed man and the four sharp axes were bounced back!
“What the hell is that?” Douglas did not stop attacking and controlled the four sharp axes to attack from different angles.
However, all of them were bounced away without exception!
Seeing that the long-range attacks were ineffective, Douglas simply let the Battle Beasts go forward to engage in close-range melee combat!
The four Gold-armored Skeleton Squad warriors were tall and strong, not to mention they were moving forward together.
Even Locke’s vision was blocked!
The Battle Beasts that were lurking in the dark immediately shifted their attention to the Gold-armored Skeleton Squad warriors.
A series of metallic collisions could be heard!
“It’s a beast claw! It might be a tiger-type Battle Beast…” Not long after, Douglas began to determine the type of the opponent’s Battle Beast.
However, when Locke looked around, he did not even see a fly, let alone a tiger.
Locke originally wanted to use the Beast Fusions’ Blazing Skies. This way, he could force out the invisible Battle Beast!
However, those treasures were still in the basement.
The distance was too close. If they were burnt, would not Locke suffer a great loss?
Just as Locke was thinking, under these unpredictable steel claw attacks, the Gold-armored Skeleton Squad was forced back!
It was not that Douglas was a good-for-nothing. It was that he really could not find a target to attack!
After those claws struck, they disappeared without a trace!
“Hehehe… I knew you guys could not do anything! Locke? Aren’t you a hero of Holy City? What’s wrong? You can’t do anything even if you meet me?” The black-robed man’s expression gradually became savage.
The black-robed man turned his eyes and began to control his Battle Beast to attack the back of Douglas’ head, which was defenseless!
“Dang!”
Locke reacted quickly and the fire elemental shield blocked the fatal blow once again.
The first time Locke brought Douglas out, he would not want to bring back a corpse. He did not want to be chased by Diana all over the city, although it was a joke.
Now was actually the best time for the black-robed man to escape as Locke did not seem to know where the invisible Battle Beast was. As long as he fought and retreated, he would be able to leave quickly.
However, the black-robed man did not do so. Instead, he looked at Locke and said, “I forgot to say… Locke, my master is also quite interested in you. Come back with me! Perhaps, he wants to talk to you?”
Locke looked at the pale-faced fellow with a look of disgust. “I’m not going! You look like you’re suffering from a serious illness. What if there’s an infectious disease there? Could it be that your master has also been infected by you?”
The black-robed man’s eyes were obviously bloodshot.
However, it was not to prove how healthy the black-robed man was, but he was angered by Locke’s words. His face had turned red!
“It’s fine if you mock only me. However, mocking my master… Saying such words is a capital offense!”
Locke had said this on purpose.
This was because a Battle Beast would cause changes in its appearance and actions due to its master’s emotions.
As expected, this little trick had worked!
Locke keenly noticed that there was a slight tremble in the flower bed not far away.
With a thought, Twin-headed White Jade Snake had already secretly climbed onto the roof of the villa nearby and was moving toward the flower bed!
“Hiss…!”
Twin-headed White Jade Snake rushed toward the restless flower bed!
“Oh no…!”
The black-robed man knew that he had fallen into a trap and subconsciously turned around to look.
Locke’s guess was absolutely correct!
Twin-headed White Jade Snake quickly grew bigger after entering the flower bed!
After a short battle, it held a black thing in its mouth and used Spatial Movement to return to Locke!
Looking carefully, Twin-headed White Jade Snake held a big black cat in its mouth!
Locke’s System did not give the Battle Beast’s stats panel as usual.
This was because this big cat had its neck broken by Twin-headed White Jade Snake!
The black-robed man turned pale with fright and sat on the ground.
Locke looked at him as if he were an idiot and said, “Hand it over… By the way, how do you want to die?”
No matter what, tonight’s matter had to be kept a secret.
If word got out, it might cause unnecessary trouble.
In Locke’s opinion, this guy was already dead.
