The Legendary Man

Chapter 1249 Great Expansion Technique

As the beacons above disappeared, the main thing that prevented their aura from leaking out was Jonathan's bronze handbell above their heads.

Despite Stellario's opposition, Jonathan was determined to save Hayden, and Stellario didn't dare to leave him.

Noticing Stellario's displeasure, Jonathan spoke in a solemn tone.

“While I don't know the specifics of this teleportation mechanism, I believe that Joshua and Hayden were likely teleported together somewhere. That's because when they entered the portal formation, Joshua and Hayden were bound together by a long rope-like magical item. Unless this formation has the ability to sever the magical item during the teleportation process, they'll be together.”

As Jonathan spoke, he looked at Stellario beside him.

Stellario shook his head slightly.

“That's impossible. Unless it's a kill array, there's no way the rope would be severed.”

Stellario became interested once more and increased their speed once again after identifying the correct direction.

The small world was shrouded in unfathomable mysteries, and Stellario was starting to have second thoughts about staying here.

Although they were now prisoners and had been thrown into this arena to be treated like animals, finding a way out was always a good thing.

Growl...

As they ran along, a growl sounded from beside them.

Jonathan turned to look, and to his surprise, it came from a strong-looking monkey with fur as white as snow on a nearby hill.

After the monkey's growl, ear-piercing beastly cries sounded around them.

“What are these things?” Stellario exclaimed as a white blur collided with Jonathan's bronze handbell's shield while they crossed a mountain stream.

Clang...

Accompanied by the sound of the bell, the monkey let out a miserable cry as it fell into the stream.

More white shadows leaped up on both sides of the three of them and began charging toward them.

“These are silver proboscis monkeys! Once they latch onto you, it's a real hassle to shake them off!” Merilyn's face changed drastically as she shouted.

The three of them landed on a large rock on the other side of the mountain stream. Looking around, they noticed that the entire slope was filled with silver monkeys.

“Dang, aren't there too many of these monkeys?”

Stellario fully activated his speed, almost dragging Jonathan and Merilyn along as he charged forward.

However, no matter how fast they were, they couldn't instantly teleport out of the monkeys' territory.

One monkey after another charged at them like crazy. At first, the three of them relied on the powerful impact to repel and fend off the monkeys that lunged at them.

Nevertheless, as more and more monkeys rushed toward them, their shield was quickly overwhelmed by dozens of monkeys pressing down on them.

Those monkeys had their mouths wide open as they relentlessly pounded on the bronze handbell's barrier.

Soon, Jonathan's face turned red.

“Stellario, I thought you love large-scale battles? Why don't you use your moves?”

Jonathan gritted his teeth and spoke to Stellario.

Stellario looked at Jonathan with a conflicted expression.

“Jonathan, that troublesome shield of yours keeps everything inside and doesn't let anything in. My parasite techniques can't extend outside. Besides, even if I use the most toxic parasites, it takes over ten seconds of parasitism before the host dies. Now look at the situation outside. If you remove the shield, we'll likely be torn apart in less than five seconds. Are you sure you want to remove it and battle against them?”

Jonathan looked up at the surroundings. Beyond the golden shield, the monkeys bared their teeth like lunatics.

Judging from the backlash he experienced when they attacked him, these monkeys must have Grandmaster Realm cultivation.

Although God Realm cultivators could easily take down Grandmaster Realm cultivators, they wouldn't stand a chance against such a large number of the latter.

“I can't hold on much longer. We can't keep on taking this beating. The moment I retract the bronze handbell, both of you must create a spiritual energy force field to immobilize the surrounding monkeys! Even if it's just for a moment, it will give us enough time to react. Get ready!”

With a roar, Jonathan lifted his right hand and gripped the bronze handbell tightly.

As the shield disappeared, dozens of sharp claws came down on them from all directions.

However, before these claws could reach Jonathan's face, two waves of spiritual energy surged like ocean waves, imprisoning everything within a ten-meter radius.

The use of spiritual energy force fields was a contest between the caster and the target.

If the caster was stronger, the target would be firmly controlled and immobilized. If the target was stronger, they would break free and retaliate.

Stellario and Merilyn were both God Realm cultivators. Thus, they theoretically shouldn't have had any trouble restraining these monkeys.

However, though the strength of a single monkey was weak, when dozens or even hundreds were gathered together, their collective strength became impossible for anyone to withstand.

Their spiritual energy force fields shattered after only a moment.

During that moment, Jonathan swung his hand and unleashed dozens of sharp blades.

“Take them down!”
