Chapter 1142: Taking the Pharaoh Spring Away

“Damn it, the Soul Remnants and Soul Essences contain the Pharaoh Spring!” Sayed cursed.

The Pharaoh Spring was useful for awakening and Summoning the undead. Every undead that the team had Summoned would cost some of the Pharaoh Spring. On top of that, Mo Fan was taking away the Soul Remnants and Soul Essences after killing the undead, meaning that he was taking away the energy of the Pharaoh Spring too, preventing it from returning to the ground!

If the Pharaoh Spring did not return to the ground, it would disrupt the cycle, which meant the Pharaoh Spring would run out even quicker!

However, the Egyptian team could not do anything even when they realized the truth. It did not make sense to order the undead to withdraw. They had no choice but to let the undead attack!

The Chain Lightning was still surging wildly across the area. The remaining undead, around three thousand of them, proceeded to surround Mo Fan.

Mo Fan looked extremely calm on the surface, but he was overwhelmed by joy inside.

He might be able to upgrade the Giant Shadow Spike to the fifth-tier after killing the remaining undead. The Giant Shadow Spike would have remarkable changes after it was further strengthened by the Nyx Regime and the Dark Noble Mantle!

“Tyrant Call!” Lightning bolts descended following his shout, landing right on the Dark Red Mummies and turning them into ashes scattered in the air. Their Soul Remnants and Soul Essences flew toward Mo Fan.

Mo Fan had noticed that the Soul Remnants and Soul Essences seemed to contain more energy than usual, most likely because they had some external energy in them.

“Strange, why is it merging with the soil?” Mo Fan suddenly discovered something out of the ordinary. The Little Loach Pendant would behave strangely occasionally. It was very unwilling to eat the Soul Remnants or Soul Essences of undead that were stained with weird auras. Mo Fan had seen it quite often, like a little kid that hated the fishy smell.

The Soul Remnant of that particular undead must have been manipulated, or damaged somehow since, Little Loach was not interested in it. However, Mo Fan was surprised when he saw the Soul Remnant falling to the ground instead of dissipating.

Mo Fan immediately tracked it down with his will and discovered that the Soul Remnant had merged with the blood that the members of the Egyptian team had dripped on the ground.

Not long after, a Dark Red Mummy crawled out from the soil and started charging in Mo Fan’s direction!

Mo Fan was not too bothered by it in the first place. He destroyed the undead with Tyrant Call once again, but the same thing happened again, as if the undead was Summoned with the same Soul Remnant from before that Little Loach was not interested in it at all…

This time, Mo Fan began to keep an eye on it. He Summoned Little Flame Belle and the Flying Creek Snow Wolf to hold the undead off while he placed his focus on the Soul Remnant.

“It went back to the ground that is soaked with blood, and turned into an undead again… which means that these undead have a unique mark or energy that keeps bringing them back!” Mo Fan speculated.

After some observation, Mo Fan finally realized that the undead that dropped a Soul Remnant when they died would return to the soil and turn into an undead again.

Meanwhile, the undead that dropped a Soul Essence were completely dead. They would not return to the furnace to be reforged!

“As I thought, there must be some energy that is causing it. Little Loach, don’t just eat, find out where the energy is coming from. I’m sure that it’s going to be more delicious than these Soul Remnants and Soul Essences!” Mo Fan was overjoyed. He never thought he would be able to discover the secret of the Egyptian team while he was retrieving these Soul Remnants!

Little Loach was fairly intelligent. It started searching for the energy after the reminder from its master.

The Little Loach Pendant soon shuddered; the little amulet was very excited, because it had found something even more delicious!

Little Loach Pendant emitted a unique glow shining upon the corpses of the undead. The light revealed a faint purple light leaving the Soul Remnants and flying back to the blood-soaked ground!

The faint purple light was even harder to see than the Soul Remnants and Soul Essences. If Mo Fan had not specifically pointed it out to Little Loach, even the little amulet would have missed it!

Most interestingly, it was very likely that the undead were dropping Soul Essences because the faint purple light had completely merged with their Soul Remnants!

A Soul Essence was a lot more valuable than a Soul Remnant. If the purple light was able to turn a Soul Remnant into a Soul Essence, it must contain an incredible amount of energy!

-HAHAHA, I understand now!- Mo Fan burst out laughing in his heart.

Mo Fan had cracked the mystery of the Egyptian team’s ability to Summon undead endlessly with the help of Little Loach.

The faint purple energy must have originated from some powerful undead. Not only was it able to produce undead, it would automatically recycle itself after they were slain, allowing the Egyptian team to keep using their Undead Element at minimum cost… before Summoning the undead back into the battle!

Since the energy was attached to their souls, some undead would unconsciously merge the energy with their spirit. As a result, they would be a lot stronger than their comrades, and they would also drop Soul Essences when they were dead!

In other words, every Soul Essence that Little Loach took away reduced the energy that the Egyptian team had. It explained why the Egyptian team was no longer Summoning their undead recklessly, and the waves were coming slower than they were before.

However, the Egyptians seemed to have quite an abundant supply of energy. The Soul Essences that Little Loach had absorbed were just a small part of it. It was nowhere enough to stop the Egyptian team, as its members were still Summoning the undead endlessly.

“Little Loach, see if you can absorb the energy! It’s a piece of juicy meat!” Mo Fan exclaimed excitedly.

Little Loach was working on it before Mo Fan even mentioned it. The amulet fixed its attention on the faint purple light that was coming out of the Soul Remnants, and absorbed them right away.

Little Loach was struggling to absorb the energy at the start, and the Remnants kept returning to the soil. However, Little Loach soon got the hang of it, and was able to absorb a wisp of the energy with every attempt. It even managed to absorb several wisps at times!

“Crap, that guy is stealing our Pharaoh Spring!” Sayed yelled.

The Egyptian team soon realized that something was not right. Their faces darkened tremendously.

Half a small bottle of the Pharaoh Spring cost a fortune. The Pharaoh Spring was the main reason that they were able to come so far in the tournament!

“How did he find out about it? That’s impossible, even a Super Mage wouldn’t be able to see it!” Meos screamed out in panic.

“Withdraw the undead, quick! Otherwise, he’s going to take all the Pharaoh Spring!” Neferu exclaimed after realizing how serious the problem was.

The Egyptian team immediately panicked. They did not expect Mo Fan would have a high-level Soul Container, allowing him to see through their trick!

On the other hand, the smile on Mo Fan’s face widened.

Even though Mo Fan had no idea what the energy was, he could tell how valuable it was just by looking at Little Loach’s reaction, since the amulet was no longer interested in ordinary stuff!

“Trying to withdraw the undead? It’s too late now!” Mo Fan stopped preserving his energy. The stormy cloud of the Lightning Tyrant Domain loomed over the island. Destructive Sky Lightning Claws descended. The ferocious lightning claws shattered the undead into pieces with just the slightest touch!

“Little Flame Belle!”

Little Flame Belle was well aware of the misdeeds that her father was up to. She happily unleashed all the Calamity Fire she had.

The combination of the Calamity Fire and Lightning Tyrant brought utter destruction upon the place. Fiery Fists started falling from the sky and blasted the entire area, while the Sky Lightning Claws surged wildly, killing hundreds of undead every second!

“Mo Fan, what are you doing? You’re only wasting your energy. The Egyptian team will just keep Summoning them even if you wiped them out now!” Jiang Yu and Zhao Manyan immediately shouted when they saw Mo Fan casting his stronger spells.

Mo Fan could easily control the situation if he kept using the Thunderbolt: Chain Lightning that did not cost much of his energy.

“Enough waiting, help me kill them too! There’s no need to preserve your energy further. I can guarantee that they won’t be able to Summon the undead again!” Mo Fan immediately asked the other four members of the team.

“Are you sure?” Mu Nujiao asked.

“Don’t you trust me?” Mo Fan replied.

“Fine, we’ll listen to you!” Mu Nujiao, Zhao Manyan, Jiang Yu, and Guan Yu had long held a grudge against the Egyptian team. They had the urge to send all the undead to Hell with their Advanced Spells.

Even Zhao Manyan, who normally did not attack, cast a Light Spell and started massacring the undead!

“Quick, call them back!”

“Asshole, that asshole, he’s going to pay for it! My Pharaoh Spring!” Sayed almost burst out in tears.

The Egyptian team could not match the speed at which the Chinese team was killing their undead. Mo Fan could only retrieve the Soul Remnants and Soul Essences of the creatures that he killed, but the restriction did not apply to the faint purple light. Little Loach could absorb them after they left the souls of the undead. Therefore, Mo Fan asked the others to attack at will!

Mo Fan’s firepower was equivalent to an entire team, yet the others were not mere decorations, either. They could tell that the Egyptian team was starting to panic, so they used all they had, including Deathstrike Magic Equipment, to slaughter the undead. A huge cloud of faint purple light flew straight toward Mo Fan!

“We surrender, we surrender!” Neferu was very decisive. He immediately yelled out that the Egyptian team had decided to concede.

The Pharaoh Spring was extremely valuable, something that they had retrieved from a pyramid after paying a great price. Whenever a drop of the Pharaoh Spring was taken away, it felt like a stab to their hearts!

“Humph, it’s too late now! You should have been prepared for the consequences of using a dirty trick like this!” Mo Fan had no intention to show any mercy.

They were in the middle of a tournament. How could they complain if their stuff was being taken away?

“Asshole, you’re going to pay for that!” The Egyptian team was forced into a corner by Mo Fan. Their eyes turned bloodshot.
