Reborn as a Hatrack in the Mystical Land-Chapter 698 - 155: Invincible Divine Rune

During the period when Compass fainted from loss of blood, Yue Jinghua and others also explored the vicinity and discovered that the canyon was indeed inhabited by a large number of strange creatures that are rare on the continent.

Among them were large ones, such as the previous Giant Stone Wangliang, and others like Rock Monster Lion and Wangliang Rabbit.

These Wangliang beasts, transformed from rocks into beings, it was unknown where they came from, but one thing was certain, they were definitely not Dark Beasts from Canglong Continent.

No matter their size, they all shared one feature; they all possessed amazing regenerative abilities.

The Giant Stone Wangliang that Compass had previously cracked, after being shattered, would restore itself to its original form in just a quarter of an hour.

No matter how many times Yue Jinghua shattered it, it would invariably regenerate itself.

This terrifying regenerative power meant that even Yue Jinghua’s Dark Beast army could not endlessly slaughter them.

Yue Jinghua had also considered using Burning Poison Algae to block the attack of the Rock Wangliang beasts, but the growth and reproduction of Burning Poison Algae required a large amount of fresh flesh as base fertilizer, and within the valley, only Rock Wangliang beasts were left. Without proper foundation, Burning Poison Algae hardly proliferated.

Upon considering this, if a method to repel the enemy was not found soon, in a few days, the entire Mist Canyon would turn into a desolate valley, and people like Peng Bo and Jin Nuo trapped deep in the canyon would either surrender or perish within.

"Fatty, I’ve thought of a brilliant method to defeat the enemy," Yue Jinghua glanced at the Fatty’s protruding figure, and an idea came to mind.

With Compass’s physique, he essentially resembled a small tank. If armed, wouldn’t he simply ram into anything he encountered?

What Yue Jinghua needs to confirm now is only the exact location of Little Jin Nuo and others.

Seeing that Compass stubbornly refused to come over, Yue Jinghua walked up to him with a mischievous smile and winked at him.

Compass shivered, backing away in panic as if a chaste maiden had encountered a lecherous wolf.

Although he had only known Yue Jinghua for a short time, during the return to Five Saints Town, he had heard many of Yue Jinghua’s fierce deeds. Even a person like Qin Dongting would obediently comply with her, and unfortunately for Compass, he had boasted in front of her that he was the top expert of the July Mercenary Corps Group, inevitably adding to his alarming distress.

"When I checked your body just now, I discovered something peculiar," Yue Jinghua stroked his chin, his gaze scanning Compass’s body, resembling someone appraising a prime cut of pork.

After Compass had fainted, even though it appeared he wasn’t injured, for safety, Yue Jinghua had still checked his body.

Upon this inspection, Yue Jinghua realized that Compass, to put it nicely, had thick skin and could withstand beating; to put it rudely, his sensory nerves were twice as thick as normal. Moreover, his Dark Technique was very special; it was an Earth Element one similar to a turtle shell. When faced with danger, his body surface would become incredibly hard, comparable to rock, making him like a natural human Shield.

"You want me to rush into the valley to send a signal, no, I’d rather die than do it," since Compass had figured out his identity, Yue Jinghua simply revealed the purpose of their journey, as well as the mission entrusted by Long Zhan and Princess Long Xue to Compass.

Upon hearing this, Compass immediately shook his head like a rattle-drum, ignoring his plea to cross a swath of Rock Wangliang alone was a death wish.

Compared to others who possessed Dark Beasts or mastered profound Dark Techniques, all Compass had was a mouth and a body of fat flesh scraps.

"Don’t worry, how could I let the deputy captain go to his death? You are a valuable asset to our mercenary group," Yue Jinghua winked and said, "You might have heard, I am a Tattoo Master. While on a mission in Fan Di Sea, I accidentally discovered a Divine Rune, tremendously powerful, capable of repelling Dark Beasts for dozens of miles around. I plan to inscribe that Divine Rune on you, combined with your physique, charging into the valley, you’ll undoubtedly be unharmed."

The Divine Rune Yue Jinghua mentioned refers to the one on the Moon Goddess Tower.

This Divine Rune, comprised of a thousand and eight Holy Runes, primarily serves as a defense, allowing the Moon Goddess Tower to become an invincible force deterring the Sea Beasts of Fan Di Sea, and naturally enabling the Compass to become an invincible entity on land as well.

This Divine Rune indeed has the effect of deterring wickedness and Dark Beasts. Coupled with the Compass’ own superior defensive power, it is extremely suitable for him.

Yue Jinghua being a Tattoo Master is something that Compass also heard about.

He had even personally seen the Dragon Bone Great Wall in Fengdan County, where the attack-focused Holy Runes on it were said to be conceived by Yue Jinghua.

And the domineering Holy Rune on Feng Buhui’s arm was also said to be on Yue Jinghua’s arm.

Under Yue Jinghua’s persistent coaxing and pressuring, Compass finally agreed to let her tattoo a Divine Rune on him.

In the dead of night, in the dense fog of the canyon, waves of terrifying screams could be heard.

"Yue Jinghua, you lied. You said tattooing the Divine Rune wouldn’t hurt at all."

"Shut up, you’re distracting me. Be careful or I might mess up and you’ll be beyond redemption."

The voices, one high and one low, were quickly drowned out by the thick fog.

The process of tattooing the Divine Rune was exceedingly draining, especially with a thousand and eight Holy Runes. The vastness of the Divine Essence required, even for Yue Jinghua supported by the massive Mo Xi’s Sea of Consciousness, was quite strenuous. She considered stopping several times during the process, but given the nature of Divine Rune tattooing, any delay could lead to complete failure.

It was only at dawn that the Divine Rune, composed of a thousand and eight Holy Runes, was completed.

By then, Yue Jinghua was utterly exhausted and immediately sat down cross-legged to restore her Dark Power.

Like a pregnant woman enduring labor pains throughout the night, Compass fainted from pain several times. When he woke up, he saw several women critiquing his bare body incessantly.

Due to the need to tattoo a thousand and eight Holy Runes, he had to strip off all his clothes, covering only the crucial parts.

Seeing both women exchange glances, he couldn’t help but touch his face and limbs.

"You two stop laughing. How about it? Do I not look especially handsome and extraordinary now?" Those were Divine Runes after all, an unprecedented number of them; even the Divine Pattern Master Sha Yan might not be able to tattoo such a large-scale Divine Rune on the continent.

Qian Luo and Shalman looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, "It seems there is no difference in appearance."

"What? I suffered an entire night and there’s no difference?" Compass looked at his body and felt around with his hands, the places that should be fatty tissue were still just as fatty.

"Stop whining. Here is a letter, you need to head towards the northwest side of Mist Canyon. After you find a person named Peng Bojinuo, consider the task completed," Yue Jinghua, having finished recuperating, urged Compass to set off immediately.
