Chapter 190: Black Boots
Because at Feng Yue’s original standing spot, apart from the lower legs wearing boots, there was nothing else on the ground, Han Li’s mental image of the loot storage pouch had completely vanished without a trace.
Han Li sprang up with a flip like a carp jumping, then hurriedly dashed over as if his backside was on fire. However, after searching for a long time where Feng Yue had disappeared, he still found no sign of the storage pouch!
“Could the power of the Heavenly Thunder Seed be so great? It actually turned both the person and the storage pouch to ashes?” Han Li circled around the palm-sized spot several times before finally arriving at an extremely frustrating conclusion.
Unwilling to give up, Han Li expanded his search area several times over, but the result remained the same. However, he did pick up the Treasure Girl’s small mirror and crystal ball, as well as the Small Knife Talisman Treasure that had reverted back to talisman form since its owner was dead.
Han Li looked at these three items, then thought about his loss of the Heavenly Thunder Seed, the two high-grade magical artifacts—the Silver Hook and Azure Serpent—and the storage pouch destroyed by the Heavenly Thunder Seed. He looked up at the sky, speechless!
But no matter what, after this fierce battle, he was still the winner. It was definitely better than turning to ash like that Feng Yue fellow!
Not knowing whether he had profited or suffered a loss, Han Li could only mock himself with such thoughts.
Thinking of Feng Yue, Han Li instinctively glanced at the only thing left in this world of that person—the pair of half lower legs with only the lower parts intact—and shook his head slightly. Then he raised his hand and released two fist-sized fireballs straight at them.
Since the man was dead, these things naturally had to be completely destroyed to prevent others from discovering them and causing trouble!
“Boom!” “Boom!” Two light sounds rang out as the flames immediately engulfed them. In the blink of an eye, everything except the black boots had turned to ash!
Han Li nodded with satisfaction and was about to turn and leave the place.
“Boots? No, that’s not right!”
“How could ordinary boots remain intact under the fireball technique?”
Just after taking a small step away, Han Li immediately realized his mistake. He hurried back, staring at the seemingly ordinary boots with a strange expression.
Upon closer inspection, something odd was indeed discovered. These boots not only resisted the fireball technique’s attack without damage, but they didn’t even have a trace of burn marks. Moreover, they faintly emitted a subtle spiritual energy.
“Magical artifact?”
Han Li was somewhat suspicious.
After hesitating, he took a few steps forward and bent down to pick up the black boots.
“Thin and soft, yet very resilient! They’re definitely not cloth or silk boots; they seem to be leather boots made from the hide of some kind of animal!” Han Li touched them for a long time and came to this conclusion.
Being close, the faint spiritual energy on the boots was even more clearly sensed by Han Li.
This was indeed a magical artifact! And most likely crafted from the hide of some demonic beast.
Looking at the boots, Han Li vaguely recalled something. He couldn’t wait any longer and took off his cloth shoes to put on these leather boots magical artifact.
Very comfortable, very soft, as if wearing nothing! This was Han Li’s first impression after putting them on.
He examined the boots on his feet carefully for a while, but no strange occurrences happened so far.
Frowning slightly, Han Li took a small step forward.
“Whoosh!” Han Li’s figure suddenly flashed, and he lightly floated about three meters away.
“Wind Riding Technique! No, even faster than the Wind Riding Technique!” Han Li thought excitedly.
At this moment, the secret behind Feng Yue’s incredibly swift movement finally dawned on Han Li. It must have been the power of these boots that allowed him to move mysteriously fast like lightning.
