317: Shi Zhuan’s conspiracy brings disaster to the human race!

When the Element Spirit Race member, disguised as a Human Clan member, arrived, all they saw was Jiang Yuan and his group looting the corpses.

“Oh, you’re here.”

Suddenly, as the Earth Element Spirit Race guy stared blankly at the scene, he heard a voice beside his ear and was startled.

Turning his head, Nezha, with his Wind Fire Wheels underfoot, was standing behind him, shouldering his Fire Tipped Spear and smiling.

Before he could even speak, Nezha’s Fire Tipped Spear directly pierced through his body.

In the end, the last remaining Earth Element Spirit Race guy was also taken down.

“Is that all the strength they have?”

Nezha shook his head, picked up the Earth Element Crystal from the ground, and walked towards Jiang Yuan.

If the Element Spirit Race had any advantages, the Element Crystals they left behind after death were their greatest one.

While others looted corpses directly from the bodies, the Element Spirit Race’s loot was taken from their Element Crystals.

In a sense, it was a convenient ability for others.

Of course, the Element Spirit Race was very displeased with such mockery.

But at this very moment, in the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield, everyone viewed the Element Spirit Race in this way.

“What a pity, we should have kept one alive.”

Seeing Nezha bring back the Element Crystal of the last Element Spirit Race member, Jiang Yuan belatedly remembered and said.

If they had kept one alive, they might have been able to gather some information.

“Never mind, let’s keep going.”

Jiang Yuan shook his head, handed the Element Crystals from the looting to Old Monarch, and continued his journey towards Lei Bao Canyon.

Old Monarch was quite curious about the Element Crystals left behind after the death of Element Spirit Race members and expressed a desire to study them.

The Element Crystals left behind after the death of Element Spirit Race members were indispensable items for increasing the attributes of attribute cards.

For example, the Fire Element Crystal left behind after the death of a Fire Element Spirit Race member, combined with some other materials, could increase the power of Fire Attribute Cards.

Theoretically, cards like Nezha and Shi Ji could also be enhanced in this way.

However, the higher the strength of the card itself, the more difficult the enhancement and the more materials required.

To enhance them, Jiang Yuan would basically have to wait until he broke through to the Sixth Realm.

If the stages before the Sixth Realm were considered student realms, then after the Sixth Realm, it was truly the warrior realm.

Breaking through the Sixth Realm was a qualitative change.

While Jiang Yuan was on his way, in the Human Race World, in a room at Da Xia Academy, Shi Zhuan was furious!

Time rewound to ten minutes ago.

Shi Zhuan sat on the sofa, sipping red wine, looking leisurely at the subordinate sent to him by his family.

“Is there something you need?”

“Young Master, we received news that Zhan Youqing and Huang Huanqing, a group of six, have also entered the Element Spirit Race Grotto Heaven.”

“Element Spirit Race Grotto Heaven?”

Shi Zhuan’s hand, which was swirling the red wine, paused, and he looked at the person in front of him: “Is it…”

“That’s right, it’s Element Spirit Race Grotto Heaven number thirty-one.”

“And… and it’s the same one Jiang Yuan went to?” Shi Zhuan’s fingers, gripping the wine glass, were turning pale, and he asked with a slightly trembling voice.

Others didn’t know, but he knew what was about to happen in that Grotto Heaven.

“Quick, go intercept the message!”

Shi Zhuan roared, and seeing the person in front of him not moving, he yelled again: “What are you waiting for, go!”

“Uh, Young Master…”

The person swallowed, lowering his head, not daring to look at Shi Zhuan: “The message has already been sent.”

“This…”

Shi Zhuan suddenly slumped back into the sofa, his face rigid.

“What did I ask you to do before? It was always this or that.”

“Why were you so fast this time?”

After muttering to himself, Shi Zhuan became furious again: “Ah, I’m asking you, why were you so fast this time?!”

As Shi Zhuan spoke, he threw the wine glass, along with the red wine inside, at the person.

The person didn’t dare to dodge, letting the red wine spread over his clothes.

“Young Master, you said to deliver it as quickly as possible, lest there be complications…”

“I say that every time, when have you ever been as fast as today?” Shi Zhuan raged again, cursing for a moment before collapsing back into the sofa.

“Heh, just a woman, if she dies, she dies. I’m the Young Master of the Shi family, would I care about a mere woman?”

“What a joke!”

Shi Zhuan lay back on the sofa, his arm covering his eyes, but it couldn’t hide the tears streaming down his cheeks.

“How I wished that even if you went to the Grotto Heaven, you wouldn’t go to the front lines.”

“But with your personality, since you’ve decided to go, you’ll definitely go to the front lines.”

“Not only that, once you know Jiang Yuan is there, you’ll definitely go find him!” Shi Zhuan said, his voice becoming gritted.

“In that case, then you two can die together!” Shi Zhuan’s voice finally turned cold. He lowered his arm, his slightly reddened eyes looking at the person with his head bowed.

“Nothing happened.”

“Understood.”

The person bowed his head in agreement, then turned and left, leaving Shi Zhuan alone.

“What a pity.”

After only a slight sigh, Shi Zhuan walked out of the room.

… …

… …

“Jiang Yuan.”

“Heh.”

In the Element Spirit Race World, in a courtyard, a Thunder Elemental Spirit Race youth looked at the intelligence report delivered to him, a slight smile playing on his lips.

“I didn’t expect this. I thought I’d only encounter you on the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield, but you actually walked right into our trap.”

“What a brave guy, coming directly into our Element Spirit Race Grotto Heaven?”

“However, Daliang strength, it really is worthy of being the Human Clan’s geniuses, their progress is indeed very fast.”

“Even if he hadn’t died, he shouldn’t have reached your strength by now.”

The Thunder Elemental Spirit Race youth spoke, his eyes filled with a cold light: “Gather all Late Stage we can today, and let’s enter the Human Clan Grotto Heaven together to eliminate the Human Clan!”

“Yes!”

… …

… …

“That should be Lei Bao Canyon ahead.”

After nearly a day’s journey, Jiang Yuan and his group finally arrived in front of Lei Bao Canyon.

The main issue was that they encountered quite a few Element Spirit Race members along the way, and battles consumed a lot of time, otherwise they would have arrived much earlier.

Looking at the Lei Bao Canyon in front of him, Jiang Yuan couldn’t help but feel a bit emotional.

Before, it was a small mountain path, a crevice between two large mountains.

But this one was like a large mountain split in the middle, leaving behind a canyon.

The mountain walls on both sides of the canyon were covered in purple rocks.

These rocks could absorb and release electricity, but they had no other use and couldn’t be applied to cards, so no one bothered with them.

Above Lei Bao Canyon was a dark cloud, but there was no sign of rain; instead, there was constant lightning and thunder.

The falling lightning was absorbed by the purple rocks on the canyon walls, then released.

This meant that Lei Bao Canyon was basically electrified everywhere; even just passing through it would make you feel a tingling sensation.

Of course, this was only for the Human Clan; for the Thunder Elemental Spirit Race, this was an excellent environment.

Theoretically, the Thunder Elemental Spirit Race fighting here would never lack Star Power.

The constantly generated lightning could help them replenish their Star Power, and they could also use the surrounding terrain’s lightning to launch attacks.

On average, almost every Thunder Attribute attack in this terrain could increase its power by about twenty percent.

This was already a very terrifying statistic, as this bonus applied to all Thunder Elemental Spirit Race members.

And this also meant that the Human Clan here not only needed to be numerous but also powerful.

“I wonder when the leijiang marrow in Lei Bao Canyon will refresh.”

Jiang Yuan smiled, then lifted his leg and walked inside.

Entering Lei Bao Canyon from this direction, it wasn’t long before they reached the Human Clan Gathering Place.

Basically, no Element Spirit Race members would enter from this direction.

There were times in the past when Element Spirit Race members tried to bypass it and flank the Human Clan, but the ultimate result was...

One side defended against the Thunder Elemental Spirit Race from the other side, while the other side used the special entrance and exit of Lei Bao Canyon to defend against the Element Spirit Race members surrounding them from behind.

The terrain of the Lei Bao Canyon entrance and exit could be described as one man guarding the pass, ten thousand unable to open it.

“We need to check your identity, please come this way.”

As soon as they entered the canyon, a head suddenly popped out of the rocks beside the canyon and spoke to Jiang Yuan.

“Oh, okay.”

Jiang Yuan nodded and followed the person to the side. With the shimmering of a purple quality card, Jiang Yuan’s Human Clan identity was confirmed.

“What about them?”

“They are my Card Spirits.”

Seeing the middle-aged man in front of him look at them and ask, Jiang Yuan quickly explained.

“Card Spirits?”

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted: “You are, Jiang Yuan?”

“Yes.”

Jiang Yuan nodded, feeling a little embarrassed, surprised that this person recognized him.

“Good, then it’s fine.”

The middle-aged man smiled and patted Jiang Yuan’s shoulder: “You’re here for the leijiang marrow, right? But it will take three more days to regrow.”

leijiang marrow, one of Jiang Yuan’s objectives.

It takes about half a year to grow, producing three portions at a time, a blue quality heavenly material and earthly treasure.

However, its effect is excellent; it’s a heavenly material and earthly treasure that can enhance physical fitness, so even though it’s only a blue quality heavenly material and earthly treasure, people always wait here in Lei Bao Canyon for it to finish growing.

But strictly speaking, leijiang marrow doesn’t actually “grow.”

It’s formed by lightning continuously gathering at a specific location, then turning into a liquid due to certain special reasons, and dripping down.

It comes out of the mountain, and no one knows what causes the leijiang marrow to form.

However, no one would break open the mountain to investigate.

After all, this would be no different from killing the goose that lays the golden eggs; even if someone wanted to do so, others would stop them.

“Three days? It seems I arrived just in time.”

“Indeed, but these past few days, because the leijiang marrow is almost ready to be collected, there will be a continuous stream of Human Clan and Element Spirit Race members arriving.”

The middle-aged man sighed: “The battles are about to begin again.”

“It’s a Grotto Heaven after all; even without the leijiang marrow as a fuse, battles would never cease for a moment.”

“That’s true.”

After the middle-aged man nodded, Jiang Yuan spoke again: “By the way, brother, I want to ask you something. Do you know anyone who has lei mang carrot? That’s also one of my goals this time.”

“lei mang carrot?”

The middle-aged man in front of him thought for a while, then shook his head: “I’m not sure, but there shouldn’t be anyone on the Human Clan side who has it, or if they do, I don’t know about it. You can ask around, maybe someone else knows.”

After the older brother finished speaking, he saw another group of Human Clan members entering, so he quickly waved at Jiang Yuan and went to verify their identities.

“Speaking of which, do I also need a skill that can see through disguises?” Jiang Yuan thought, stroking his chin as he watched this scene.

For example, Erlang Shen’s Heavenly Eye, Monkey King’s Fiery Eyes and Golden Gaze, and other eye-type skills like the Eye of Truth, can all see through disguises.

“Forget it, I’ll think about it when I get back.”

In the end, Jiang Yuan still shook his head; every time he had a new idea, he was the one who suffered and toiled.

Thinking about how many cards he had accumulated and not yet made, Jiang Yuan felt a wave of exhaustion.

After passing the inspection, they walked a short distance further and arrived at the Human Clan Gathering Place.

It looked quite lively; as soon as Jiang Yuan arrived, someone waved and asked him which academy he was from.

“Zhongyuan Academy.”

“Oh, Zhongyuan Academy is over here.”

Upon hearing the name Zhongyuan Academy, someone in another small circle looked up and waved at Jiang Yuan.

“Jiang Yuan?”

At this moment, someone had already recognized Jiang Yuan.

After all, during the Four School Joint Examination, most of the people from Zhongyuan Academy were present.

And they were the same; they all came to the Grotto Heaven after the Four School Joint Examination ended.

“How long have you been here?”

Jiang Yuan waved to the others, greeted them, and then walked over to the Zhongyuan Academy’s small circle.

It must be said that Jiang Yuan’s reputation was quite good now.

Of course, that was within and below the Great Beam strength range.

So, besides the people from Zhongyuan Academy, some people from other academies also recognized Jiang Yuan.

However, since they didn’t have a common medium of communication like Zhongyuan Academy, few people actively spoke up.

“By the way, let me introduce myself. I was in the top one hundred of the second battlefield in this Four School Joint Examination, but we never met.”

As soon as Jiang Yuan came over, a burly man laughed heartily and said to Jiang Yuan: “I came to the Grotto Heaven right after the Four School Joint Examination ended. Most of them are the same, at most two days later than me.”

There weren’t many people from Zhongyuan Academy here, as the Four School Joint Examination had just ended not long ago.

But even so, there were nearly twenty people in this small circle from Zhongyuan Academy alone.

“Are you also here for the leijiang marrow?”

After everyone introduced themselves, Xiong Peikang curiously asked Jiang Yuan.

Xiong Peikang was the muscular strongman.

“Partly, I happened to come here. My main goal is the lei mang carrot.”

Jiang Yuan didn’t intend to hide anything and directly asked: “Do you know anyone who has it? If possible, I can buy it.”

“It seems…”
