148: The Vampire Clan ambushed, and the Thunder Talisman Heavenly Soldiers killed him in half a month!
Chapter 147: Blood Clan Ambush, Thunder Talisman Heavenly Soldier - Half-Moon Slash!
Yu Rundong couldn't help but say, “How did you find a place like this? And you’re not the patrol team; I’m the patrol team!”
Jiang Liyue also couldn't help but ask, “You left less than two hours after we finished our operation this afternoon, right?”
Hearing this, Bai Yu secretly chuckled to himself.
Haha, I don’t have to explain this time, right?
Li Yunbin was mostly an ice-faced person, and his expression remained unchanged as he said, “Being good at discovering things is why our team has been performing so well recently.”
Hearing the word 'recently,' Yu Rundong couldn't help but glance at Bai Yu.
“It’s getting late, let’s go in quickly. It’s better not to fight if we don’t have to.”
“Okay!”
If not compared to Bai Yu,
Jiang Liyue would also be considered a favored daughter of Heaven, and she possessed the rare Dark Shadow-type Spirit Demon Ancient Divine Power with a high compatibility.
Yu Rundong primarily Cultivated Ancient Martial Arts, and his Physical Body strength was definitely good enough.
With three powerful teams gathered, their courage naturally grew.
They shone flashlights into the cave, revealing a flat area below where everyone could stand.
Approximately to the east of the cave entrance was a dark, downward-extending passage.
They threw two glow sticks down, illuminating the space.
Then they jumped in. A cold wind carrying the scent of earth and dampness wafted up from the passage below.
In the hot summer, the temperature inside the cave was actually below ten degrees Celsius.
Everyone was an extraordinary being, and they didn't need rope ladders or anything, so they quickly entered the cave.
“Walk about 150 meters forward, and you’ll reach that karst cave.”
Yu Rundong muttered, “I really want to ask, how exactly did you find this place?”
“You can check the Spirit Power meter; the reading inside the cave is 20, which is four times the average concentration outside.”
Yu Rundong looked down and confirmed it was true!
But this cave was too hidden; the entrance was even covered. How was it discovered?
Are the Sea Demon Clan that stupid?
But no matter what, since they were already here, everyone continued down the path.
Footsteps echoed on the slippery cave floor, and flashlight beams explored the darkness.
As the team delved deeper, the cave walls gradually transformed from rough rock to smooth, Spirit Energy-infused rock walls.
These rocks shimmered with a moist, bluish glow under the faint light.
According to this trend, if it continued for another hundred years, it could even transform into Spirit Stone, truly a potential mine! A hundred years is definitely super short compared to millions of years for oil deposits.
However, there was a small problem.
That is, the Human Race might have already perished.
After traversing about a hundred meters within the complex cave, they faintly heard the crisp echo of water droplets falling from the cave ceiling.
“We’re almost there!”
The area where everyone was currently located had a clearly visible underground river. However, this underground river ended only thirty meters to the east.
Walking about fifty meters to the west, they passed through a grotto.
As everyone entered the grotto, their vision suddenly widened. It was clearly a massive underground space!
The vertical distance of this underground space was only about ten to fifteen meters.
They could see dense white stalactites above.
Unlike stalactites in the ordinary world, the stalactites here looked cleaner, and the dripping Spirit Milk resembled milk.
After merging with the pool water, the water looked even clearer and emitted Spirit Light!
Most of their time was spent handling missions in Tianhai City, so they truly hadn't encountered a situation like this treasure hunt.
Jiang Liyue waved her hand, and over a dozen drops of white stalactite floated before her.
“I remember the Spirit Milk from stalactites seems to be graded, right? It’s a pity I forgot the classification standards.”
Zhao Bin, standing nearby, pushed up his glasses and said, “The ones here are Tier 2, upper-middle quality.”
“For Tier 3, these stalactites need to be Spirit-transformed on the outside, cutting like cheese.”
“Tier 4 requires complete Spirit-transformation, with no Impurities inside.”
“Tier 2 is already completely sufficient for us. We only need to take one or two hundred milliliters and apply it all over our bodies to achieve a very strong Body Refining effect.”
While the two were talking, Li Yunbin and the others didn't delay, directly preparing the Sea Spirit Pearl they had applied for in advance.
They saw this sea-blue pearl fall into the Spirit Spring, and a small vortex immediately formed around it, beginning to merge into it.
The speed didn't seem particularly exaggerated.
Li Yunbin also said, “It can extract about ten cubic meters per minute. We’ll need about an hour to extract all the essence of the Spirit Spring.”
“You can now look at the opposite side of our current location; there’s another downward-extending fissure passage there, somewhat narrow, only wide enough for three people to pass through.”
“When we explored today, we found Sea Demon Clan traces there. They clearly targeted this place early on, and perhaps left some monitoring methods.”
“Even though we’ve already communicated with the Bureau in advance, we still need to be careful.”
Everyone looked in the direction indicated and indeed saw a relatively large fissure.
Seeing this, everyone stopped talking nonsense and relied on their own abilities to collect the Spirit Milk first, then divide it later.
Bai Yu also leaped up, scraping at the largest stalactite with the highest degree of Spirit-transformation.
This stalactite was a full 8 meters long, making it the largest in this grotto, and some of its essence could reach Tier 3 quality.
Soon, he collected a large basin full, about ten liters!
“Tsk tsk tsk, I feel like I’m living the protagonist’s treasure hunt life now. It would be even better if some monsters came!”
Zhao Bin, below, kept looking at the equipment.
“This afternoon, we already installed monitoring equipment in the underground river deep within the grotto. Currently, no movement has been detected.”
Bai Yu felt a bit regretful.
Meow meow meow!
Is no one coming to fight with me?
Time passed by minute by minute.
In just about ten minutes, the three teams collected nearly 100L of Spirit Milk. Even calculated at Tier 2 High Grade, one liter’s market price is around thirty to forty thousand.
Looking at what was left, they should be able to get another thirty to forty liters.
Nearly an hour passed.
The Spirit Milk collection was complete, exceeding expectations, at around one hundred sixty liters.
The Spirit Pool in this underground space was also almost completely drained.
It felt like draining the pond to catch all the fish, but there was no other way; they didn’t have enough strength to guard the outdoor territory now.
This Tier 2 treasure wasn't considered a resource that required heavy military guarding.
Looking at the deep grotto, Bai Yu said with some regret, “What a pity! No one came for me to practice with.”
Yu Rundong slapped him on the shoulder heartily and said, “You’re more belligerent than me, an Ancient Martial Artist! Why don’t we find some time to spar? I still remember the battle in the warehouse last time and really want to see your strength.”
Bai Yu’s eyes lit up, but then he said uninterestingly, “Sparring has no sense of proportion. It’s not as satisfying as killing monsters!”
Seeing Bai Yu like this, everyone could only feel that he still hadn’t experienced the harsh realities of society.
They had been with the Investigation Bureau for at least three years, and had faced many life-threatening situations.
But it’s also good for a newcomer to have fighting spirit, as long as they’re not careless!
Seeing that the Spirit Spring had been absorbed almost completely,
Everyone was in a pretty good mood about being able to collect these resources without any risk this time.
Li Yunbin also looked at the information on the equipment; the Sea Demon Clan had made no move.
“Pack up, let’s go!”
“Alright.”
During the climb upwards, Bai Yu also checked his second page.
There was still no movement.
Meow meow meow ~ I want to fight!
Damn it!
White Spirit: ‘Damn it! I want to fight!’
Hearing White Spirit’s tender and cute voice, Bai Yu smiled knowingly and felt much more comfortable.
At the cave entrance.
Just as Bai Yu adjusted his mindset and prepared to consider his gains from this trip,
His second page lit up!
This golden page naturally attracted the attention of the others.
Jiang Liyue asked curiously, “What is that thing of yours?”
Bai Yu didn’t speak, only mouthed words to his team members.
Blood Clan!
Upon learning it was the Blood Clan, Li Yunbin and the others were still somewhat worried, because according to the intelligence they had, the Red Moon Blade Demon had multiple records of cooperation with the Blood Clan.
Bai Yu hesitated for a moment, gripping the purple spirit jade pendant at his waist, then said, “Let’s go. This time, we’ll go back and Cultivate properly!”
As he spoke, Bai Yu came to the bottom of the cave entrance, looking at the moonlight filtering through the gaps in the wooden cover. Then, he pushed off with both feet, and Zhao Bin’s two golden beads and Wanqing’s shield were applied to him.
His current Physical Body, without using any spells, was strong enough to withstand Tier 10 physical attacks.
He was even stronger than ordinary Ancient Martial Cultivators of the same Realm!
“Bang~”
He directly crashed through the wooden boards covering the top.
Bai Yu looked around, and there were no Blood Clan Modified Creatures nearby.
Suddenly, he felt something.
In the trees!
Just then, three Tier 2 Blood Clan Modified Creatures suddenly pounced down.
“Roar~”
“Seeking death!”
Bai Yu’s right fist instantly gathered Thunder Power, and he directly delivered a thunderous right hook to the face of the first blood clan modifier that lunged at him.
Direct physical contact!
A blood clan modifier with full Tier 14 strength.
With a “boom~,” it spun three times in the air before rolling down the slope.
The two golden beads protecting Bai Yu also quickly shot out, charging towards one of the blood clan modifiers.
The other blood clan modifier was instantly pierced through the abdomen by a sword light that shot out from the cave entrance.
But after just one wave of contact, over twenty Blood Clan Modified Creatures surrounded them.
Bai Yu’s brows furrowed.
These blood clan modifiers had no Cultivation system; they were all disposable consumables, their strength primarily depending on the development of their sin blood.
At this moment, these blood clan modifiers all had strength around Tier 10, which wasn’t strong, but the most troublesome thing was their powerful regenerative ability!
The Blood Clan Modified Creature that Bai Yu had sent flying with a punch immediately pounced back as if nothing had happened.
At this moment, a dark purple figure quickly rushed forward.
Two streaks of dark light flashed, and a cross-shapedStrangulation (Strangulation is a martial arts term for strangulation or a cross-cut) instantly formed in its chest area.
“Roar~!”
This monster also let out a painful roar.
The other team members also quickly rushed out of the cave entrance and joined the battle.
With everyone’s tacit understanding and elite status, they were sufficient to deal with these monsters, but Li Yunbin subtly reminded them, “There might be someone close to the Linghai Realm targeting us. Everyone needs to be careful during the fight!”
Jiang Liyue and Yu Rundong, upon hearing this, naturally held back some of their strength.
Bai Yu looked at this group of blood clan modifiers, filled with fighting spirit!
The thunder scepter appeared, and vast Thunder Power began to surge in, gathering around Bai Yu.
Then, he threw out the Dragon River Woman.
The Dragon River Woman was now about three meters tall, floating in the air, leaning back slightly, then letting out a shriek.
“Ah~!”
A white ethereal wave caused great obstruction to these soulless beings.
Many blood clan modifiers paused their movements and were attacked.
Jiang Liyue, retracting her hand, glanced at the Dragon River Woman and frowned slightly.
She was a bit puzzled: Where did this newcomer get all these things?
But just as she thought this, she saw the Thunder around Bai Yu suddenly erupt.
“Nine Heavens Thunder Domain, form!”
With a “buzz~” sound,
A ten-meter diameter Thunder ring formed around Bai Yu, with countless Thunder lights flashing.
Within this Thunder Domain, Bai Yu could feel his Acupoints and Meridians operating at high speed.
The Five Thunder Decision, Thunder Movement, Thunder Shadow Body, and Thunder Talisman Heavenly Soldier, which he had been learning, had all made great progress!
His eyes turned white.
“Thunder Talisman Heavenly Soldier!”
Within the Thunder Domain, like a printer, countless bolts of lightning began to gather, forming a 5-meter-tall human figure.
After this Thunder Talisman Heavenly Soldier condensed its form, it seemed to have weight, falling from the air with a thud.
“Boom!”
He held a long blade in his hand and strode forward, slashing.
At the tip of the long blade, Thunder Power gathered, striking heavily on one of the blood clan modifiers.
“Boom~”
This blood clan modifier was directly sent flying, and there was a scorched wound on its abdomen.
Immediately, the Heavenly Soldier pushed off with one foot, performed a 360-degree spin in the air, and delivered a heavy slash.
Thunder Half-Moon Slash!
“Boom!”
Lightning flashed in that area, and all the Thunder Power gathered on the long blade, electrocuting that blood clan modifier, making its entire body numb and constantly twitching.
The surrounding Blood Clan Modified Creatures, lacking much reason, directly charged towards this summoned creature.
But the Thunder Talisman Heavenly Soldier quickly drew its blade and spun around its body.
“Boom!”
The Thunder Power suddenly exploded, creating intense fluctuations.
Jiang Liyue, during the battle, also kept an eye on this area.
She was somewhat shocked internally.
How is this possible!?
How could the Seventh Team’s newcomer have so many abilities? And they all seem very strong!
Even Bai Yu himself was somewhat surprised after seeing this Thunder Talisman Heavenly Soldier.
He had only activated 36 Acupoints to summon this first-stage Thunder Talisman Heavenly Soldier.
Its current estimated combat power was above Tier 15.
It actually had self-awareness!
No! Bai Yu suddenly sensed that this Thunder Talisman Heavenly Soldier had some connection with the Thunder Space on his fourth page.
This connection was extremely mysterious, and he couldn’t investigate it clearly.
It was a battlefield now; even if the enemies weren't to be feared, he could only research it later.
And Bai Yu looked at the twenty Palm Thunders that had rapidly gathered within the Thunder Domain.
Then he looked at the Blood Clan Modified Creatures that were being beaten up.
He thought to himself: Not enough to fight!
Just at this moment, Zhao Bin below suddenly said, “The monitoring device inside the grotto has a reaction!”
“A few sea monkeys appeared, and they destroyed the monitoring device.”
“However, there’s still one hidden corner monitoring device, and it can see a large number of Sea Serpent Tribe appearing, and also Sea Shrimp Tribe! It seems…”
Unfortunately, as he said this, the last monitoring device was also destroyed.
“I just saw a huge shadow! There’s definitely a powerful character on the other side.”
