The three-legged Heaven Devouring Beast charged madly toward the other end of the swamp.
It seemed to want to rush into the swamp as fast as possible, swallow those treasures, and then quickly leave this dangerous area to avoid risk.
Unfortunately, something even a cute, brainless thing like it could think of, did Ethan really not think of it?
So, the instant the Heaven Devouring Beast stepped onto the swamp, how could that thin layer of ice possibly support its massive body.
Crack! Crack!
In the blink of an eye, the ice surface shattered rapidly in all directions, with the Heaven Devouring Beast at the center.
Then the Heaven Devouring Beast quickly sank down into the swamp.
Gurgle~
Gurgle~ Gurgle~
The Heaven Devouring Beast was far too heavy, and it quickly sank into the ground.
And the surface of the swamp kept bubbling with huge air bubbles, like the struggling of someone drowning.
"Heh! Heh! Still not dead?"
Ethan sneered as he watched the three-legged Heaven Devouring Beast finally fall into the trap, unable to free itself.
He sneered again and again.
White Eagle also waddled over to the edge of the swamp, swaying as it walked, craning its neck forward with a curious look, staring at the three-legged Heaven Devouring Beast in the swamp and letting out "coo coo" sounds.
"Relax, I don't believe it can still make trouble like this!"
"Coo! Coo!"
White Eagle nodded, full of confidence in its master's words.
But getting slapped in the face usually happens in the blink of an eye.
(￣ε(#￣)☆╰╮
Ethan had barely finished speaking when both man and eagle saw the bubbles in the swamp grow bigger and denser, and then, right at the center of the entire swamp, a huge vortex appeared.
As if it wanted to swallow everything in existence.
The swamp that had been full of mud at this very moment began to rapidly decrease.
The vortex grew larger and larger.
And the mud in the pool grew less and less.
Ethan could even see golden light leaking out from within the swamp.
"It's that three-legged Heaven Devouring Beast? That thing actually sank underground and can still suck up the mud?" Ethan was completely shocked on the spot, "Isn't this skill way too broken?"
"No, we can't let it suck all the mud away. Otherwise it'll be even harder to trap it!"
Ethan immediately began chanting again.
"Dense and packed… ba li ba li… ma li ma li hong!"
A streak of red light shot straight toward the three-legged Heaven Devouring Beast.
Whoosh!
However, the Soft Squishy spell that Ethan had placed great hopes on only flickered briefly on the Heaven Devouring Beast's body. Then a flash of golden light burst from within its skeleton, like magma splashing out, directly swallowing the red light.
(o#゜ 曲゜)o
"It can even swallow spells?"
This thing was even harder to deal with than an unkillable cockroach. It could practically be called an invincible powerhouse.
"Hiss~"
The mud drained faster and faster.
Under the Heaven Devouring Beast's consumption, in less than a minute, the massive amount of mud drained away like it was all being poured down a sewer.
The mud was about to stop covering the Heaven Devouring Beast entirely.
"Ba ba ba ba… ma li ma li hong!"
Ethan chanted Soft Squishy again, softening the surrounding ground as well, forcing the Heaven Devouring Beast deeper underground first.
No matter what, he couldn't let it come out, and he couldn't let it have nothing to suck.
Otherwise, once this three-legged Heaven Devouring Beast got out, what if it sucked him instead?
With a mouth that big, wouldn't it just suck Ethan dry in one gulp.
'Holy crap, no!'
'Too terrifying!'
"Ma li ma li hong!"
"Ma li ma li hong!"
"Ma li ma li…"
Ethan chanted Soft Squishy countless times in a row, until his mouth was dry.
Only then did he soften all the ground around the three-legged Heaven Devouring Beast and beneath its feet, burying it in mud once again.
Gurgle~ Gurgle~
But this three-legged Heaven Devouring Beast wasn't afraid of being buried at all.
Even if Ethan could bury it for a moment, he couldn't bury it forever.
Watching the mud decrease by more than half again, Ethan was truly at his wit's end. He frowned at the giant pit being sucked empty in front of him, his head spinning. If only there were something the three-legged Heaven Devouring Beast couldn't suck.
'Couldn't suck…'
Ethan's eyes suddenly lit up.
He remembered earlier, when the three-legged Heaven Devouring Beast tried to suck away the Dragon Coins beneath the ice, it even snapped nearby trees.
But it still couldn't suck away the Dragon Coins under the ice.
What did that mean?
It meant that as long as the area was large enough, so large that it couldn't swallow it in one gulp, it could prevent it from being devoured.
"But what thing is big enough, so big it can't swallow it?"
Ethan looked around, trying to find huge rocks or some other massive object.
But after scanning the area, aside from tall trees and mountains, there was nothing at all.
Nothing.
'Except…'
Ethan lowered his head and looked at the ground beneath his feet.
"Holy crap! I'm so stupid!"
"How did I not think of such a good method?"
"Since I can't find something that just happens to block the three-legged Heaven Devouring Beast, I can create one on the spot!"
Ethan immediately took out the [Hard-as-a-Rock Spell], which had properties opposite to [Soft Squishy].
[Hard-as-a-Rock Spell: Unlike Soft Squishy, this is a spell that can make things hard and stiff. It is an important secret to household harmony.]
[PS: Back in the day, after the Archmage created the essential Soft Squishy spell for housewives, he was once accused of gender discrimination and was demanded to create a corresponding skill. Thus, the Hard-as-a-Rock Spell was born.]
As usual, Ethan first copied ten copies and tossed them into his backpack.
Only then did he learn [Hard-as-a-Rock Spell (Fake)]. Very quickly, a detailed set of instructions on how to use the Hard-as-a-Rock skill appeared in his mind.
It not only included how to use it, but even came with a 108-style guide.
Including, making glue harden quickly.
Making syrup harden quickly into sugar frost.
"Good stuff!"
Ethan raised an eyebrow. The only problem was that the incantation for this Hard-as-a-Rock spell was not one bit shorter than Soft Squishy. It was at least three hundred words long.
'Did this Archmage have some kind of problem, deliberately making things hard for people like me who weren't good with languages?'
'Why does he always have to make the incantations so complicated?'
'What, you say you can do it?'
'Then you do it!'
"Blackening black gray fertilizer ash, volatilizes and becomes gray-black. To make black ash fly back, flying flowers fly back and turn to ash…"
"Blah blah blah (three hundred words omitted here)…"
"Ma li ma li hong!"
A streak of blue light flew toward the swamp. But Ethan didn't use the Hard-as-a-Rock spell on the three-legged Heaven Devouring Beast itself. Instead, he used it on the swamp covering it, and on the vortex it was creating with its huge mouth.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
In an instant, the mud was as if frozen solid for thousands of miles.
The swamp, originally soft and mushy, reverted to hard ground at this moment, and the three-legged Heaven Devouring Monster was naturally sealed beneath the earth by Ethan.
