Chapter 147: Vampire Clan Ambush, Thunder Talisman Heavenly Soldiers’ Half-Moon Slash!
Yu Rundong couldn’t help but ask, “How did you find this place? And you’re not from the patrol team either, I’m the one from the patrol team!”
Jiang Liyue also couldn’t help but ask, “After our operation in the afternoon, you left for less than two hours, right?”
Hearing this, Bai Yu secretly chuckled to himself.
Haha, this time I don’t have to explain, do I?
Li Yunbin, who was mostly stoic, remained expressionless and said, “We are good at discovering things, which is also why our group’s performance has been good recently.”
Upon 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 can avoid it.”
“Okay!”
If not compared to Bai Yu.
Jiang Liyue was also considered a prodigy, possessing the rare Shadow-type Spirit Monster ancient god power, with a high compatibility.
Yu Rundong focused on cultivating Ancient Martial Arts, and his physical strength was definitely considerable.
With three powerful groups gathered together, their courage naturally increased significantly.
Shining a flashlight into the cave, they saw a flat area below, suitable for everyone to land.
Approximately to the east of the cave entrance, there was a dark, downward-extending passage.
They tossed two glow sticks down, illuminating the space.
Then they jumped in. A cold wind carrying the scent of soil and moisture rushed towards them from the passage below.
On a hot summer day, the temperature inside the cave was below ten degrees.
As they were all Transcendent beings, they didn’t need rope ladders or anything similar, and quickly entered the cave.
“About 150 meters ahead is that karst cave.”
Yu Rundong muttered, “I really want to ask, how exactly did you find this place?”
“You can check the Spiritual Energy meter. The scale inside is 20, which is four times the average concentration outside.”
Yu Rundong looked down and indeed, it was true!
But this cave was too hidden, its entrance was even covered up, so how did they find it?
Were the Sea Monster Clan that stupid?
But regardless, since they were here, everyone followed the path downwards.
Their footsteps echoed on the slippery cave floor, and the flashlight beams explored the darkness.
As the team ventured deeper, the cave walls gradually transitioned from rough rock to smooth, spiritually energized rock.
These stones, under the faint light, shimmered with a moist, cyan luster.
At this rate, with another hundred years, they could transform into Spiritual Stones, truly a potential mine! One hundred years, compared to millions of years of oil sedimentation, was definitely super short.
However, there was a small problem.
That is, the Human Race might have already perished.
After traversing about a hundred meters through the complex terrain of the cave, they faintly heard the crisp echo of water droplets falling from the cave ceiling.
“We’re almost there!”
The area where they were currently located had a clearly visible Underground River. However, this Underground River only extended about thirty meters to the east before reaching its end.
Walking about fifty meters to the west, they passed through a cavern.
As they entered the cavern, their vision instantly widened. It was a massive underground space!
The height of this underground space was about ten to fifteen meters.
They could see dense white stalactites above.
Unlike ordinary stalactites, these looked cleaner, and the Spirit Milk dripping from them resembled actual milk.
When it merged with the pool water, the water looked even clearer and emitted a spiritual glow!
Most of their time was spent handling missions within Tianhai City, so they hadn’t really encountered situations like treasure hunting.
Jiang Liyue waved her hand, and a dozen falling white stalactite drops floated in front of her.
“I remember the Spirit Milk from stalactites is graded, right? Too bad I forgot the classification standard.”
Zhao Bin, standing nearby, adjusted his glasses and said, “The ones here are second-rank, medium-to-high quality.”
“Third-rank would require the outer layer of these stalactites to be spiritually energized, and they would cut like cheese.”
“Fourth-rank would be fully spiritually energized, with no impurities inside.”
“Second-rank is already more than enough for us. Just a hundred or two hundred milliliters applied all over the body can have a strong Body Refining effect.”
While the two were talking, Li Yunbin and the others didn’t delay and prepared the Sea Spirit Pearls they had applied for in advance.
As the sea-blue bead fell into the Spiritual Spring, a small vortex instantly formed around it, drawing the water in.
The speed didn’t seem particularly exaggerated.
Li Yunbin also said, “It can pump about ten cubic meters per minute. We’ll need about an hour to extract all the essence of the Spiritual Spring.”
“You can now look at the opposite side of our current location. There’s another narrow fissure passage extending downwards, only wide enough for three people to pass.”
“When we were exploring today, we found Sea Monster traces there. They had clearly been eyeing this place for a long time and might have left some monitoring devices.”
“Even though we’ve communicated with the bureau in advance, we still need to be careful.”
Everyone looked in the direction indicated and indeed saw a larger fissure.
Seeing this, they wasted no more time and each used their own abilities to collect the Spirit Milk first, and they would divide it later.
Bai Yu leaped up and began scraping at a large stalactite with the highest degree of spiritualization.
This stalactite was 8 meters long, the largest in this cavern, and some of its essence could reach third-rank quality.
Soon, a large basin was collected, holding about ten liters!
“Tsk tsk tsk, it feels like I’m living the treasure-hunting life of a protagonist now. It would be even better if there were some monsters!”
Zhao Bin below kept watching the equipment.
“This afternoon, we installed monitoring equipment in the Underground River deep within the cavern. Currently, no activity has been detected.”
Bai Yu felt a bit regretful.
Meow meow meow!
Won’t anyone come and fight me?
Time ticked by.
In just ten minutes, the three groups collected nearly 100L of Spirit Milk. Calculated at second-rank high-grade, the market price per liter 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 completed, exceeding expectations, around one hundred and sixty liters.
The spiritual pool in this underground space was also almost drained.
It felt like draining the pond to catch the fish, but there was no other way; they didn’t have enough power to defend wild territories right now.
This second-rank treasure wasn’t a resource that required heavy guarding.
Looking at the deeper cave, Bai Yu said with some regret, “What a shame! No one came to spar.”
Yu Rundong casually patted his shoulder and said, “You guy are more eager to fight than I am, a cultivator of Ancient Martial Arts! How about we spar sometime? I still remember our fight at the warehouse last time, and I’ve been wanting to see your strength.”
Bai Yu’s eyes lit up, but then he said dismissively, “Sparring lacks the thrill. It’s not as satisfying as killing monsters!”
Seeing Bai Yu’s demeanor, everyone could only think that he hadn’t experienced the harshness of society yet.
They had joined the Investigation Bureau for at least three years, and had faced many life-threatening situations.
But it was good for a newcomer to have fighting spirit, as long as they weren’t careless!
Seeing that the Spiritual Spring had been absorbed quite a bit.
Everyone was in a good mood about being able to collect these resources without any risk.
Li Yunbin also checked the information on the equipment; the Sea Monster Clan showed no activity.
“Pack up, let’s go!”
“You got it.”
While climbing up, Bai Yu also looked at the Second Page.
There was still no activity.
Meow meow meow~ I want to fight!
Damn it!
Bai Ling: ‘Damn it! I want to fight!’
Hearing Bai Ling’s young and cute voice, Bai Yu smiled knowingly, feeling much better.
At the cave entrance.
Just as Bai Yu adjusted his mindset and was about to consider his current gains,
His Second Page lit up!
This golden page naturally attracted the attention of others.
Jiang Liyue asked curiously, “What is that thing?”
Bai Yu didn’t speak, just mouthed the words to his teammates.
Vampire Clan!
Upon learning it was the Vampire Clan, Li Yunbin and the others were somewhat worried, as the intelligence they had indicated that this Red Moon Blade Demon had multiple cooperation records with the Vampire Clan.
Bai Yu hesitated for a moment, gripped the Purple Spirit Jade Pendant at his waist, and then said, “Let’s go. We’ll go back and cultivate properly this time!”
With that, Bai Yu went to the bottom of the cave entrance, looked at the moonlight filtering through the gaps of the wooden board covering, then pushed off with his feet. Zhao Bin’s two Golden Pearls and Wan Qing’s shield were activated.
His current physique, without invoking any techniques, was enough to withstand a Level Ten physical attack.
He was even stronger than ordinary Ancient Martial Arts Cultivators of the same realm!
“Bang~”
He directly smashed through the wooden board covering the opening above.
Bai Yu scanned his surroundings; there were no Blood Monsters.
Suddenly, he had a premonition.
In the trees!
Suddenly, three second-stage Vampire Clan Modified Beings pounced down.
“Roar~”
“Seeking death!”
Bai Yu’s right fist instantly gathered Thunder Power, and he delivered a thunderous uppercut directly to the face of the first Modified Being that lunged at him.
Direct physical contact!
A Modified Being with a strength of Level 14.
With a “boom,” it spun three times in the air before rolling down the slope.
The two Golden Pearls protecting Bai Yu also swiftly attacked, charging towards one of the Modified Beings.
Another Modified Being was instantly pierced through the abdomen by Sword Light that shot out from the cave entrance.
However, after just one wave of contact, over twenty Blood Monsters surrounded them.
Bai Yu’s brow furrowed.
These Modified Beings had no cultivation system; they were disposable consumables, their strength depending mainly on the development of their Sin Blood.
Currently, these Modified Beings had strength around Level 10, which wasn’t strong, but their most troublesome trait was their powerful regeneration!
The Blood Monster that Bai Yu had sent flying with a punch was back on its feet as if nothing had happened and immediately lunged forward.
At this moment, a dark purple figure swiftly attacked.
Two ghostly lights flashed, and a cross-shaped constriction instantly formed in its chest cavity.
“Roar~!”
The monster let out a pained roar.
The other team members also quickly rushed out of the cave and joined the battle.
With their tacit understanding and elite status, they were capable of dealing with these monsters, but Li Yunbin subtly reminded them, “There might be someone with strength close to the Spirit Sea Realm targeting us, so be careful during the fight!”
Jiang Liyue and Yu Rundong, hearing this, naturally held back some of their strength.
Bai Yu looked at these Modified Beings, his fighting spirit fully ignited!
The Scepter of Thunder appeared, and immense Thunder Power began to surge into it, 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. She leaned back slightly and let out a piercing shriek.
“Ah~!”
A white ghostly wave caused great obstruction to these soulless beings.
Many Modified Beings staggered and were hit by the attack.
Jiang Liyue, retracting her hand, glanced at the Dragon River Woman and frowned.
She wondered inwardly: Where did this newcomer get these things?
But just as she thought this, the thunder around Bai Yu suddenly erupted.
“Nine Heavens Thunder Domain, form!”
With a “buzz,”
A ten-meter diameter thunder ring formed around Bai Yu, with countless lightning flashes.
Within this Thunder Domain, Bai Yu could feel his inner acupoints and meridians operating at high speed.
The Five Thunders Decree, Thunder Movement, and Thunder Shadow Body he had been studying had all made significant progress!
His eyes turned white.
“Thunder Talisman Heavenly Soldiers!”
Within the Thunder Domain, like a printer, countless lightning bolts converged, forming a 5-meter tall figure.
After condensing its form, this Thunder Talisman Heavenly Soldier descended from the air as if it had weight, making a sound.
“Boom!”
Holding a long saber, it strode forward and slashed.
Thunder Power gathered at the tip of the saber, heavily striking a Modified Being.
“Boom~”
This Modified Being was directly sent flying, with a charred scar on its abdomen.
Then, the Heavenly Soldier pushed off with one foot, spun 360 degrees in the air, and delivered a heavy slash.
Thunderous Crescent Slash!
“Boom!”
Lightning flashed in that area, all the Thunder Power gathered on the saber, causing the Modified Being to go numb and twitch uncontrollably.
The surrounding Vampire Clan Modified Beings, lacking reason, directly charged at this summoned creature.
But the Thunder Talisman Heavenly Soldier quickly drew its saber and swung it around its body.
“Boom!”
The Thunder Power exploded violently, creating intense fluctuations.
Jiang Liyue, while fighting, kept her attention on this area.
She was inwardly shocked.
How is this possible!?
How does the newcomer from the Seventh Group have so many abilities? And they all seem so powerful!
Bai Yu himself was somewhat surprised upon seeing this Thunder Talisman Heavenly Soldier.
He had only activated 36 acupoints, summoning the first stage of the Thunder Talisman Heavenly Soldier.
Its current combat power was estimated to be Level 15 or higher.
It actually had self-awareness!
No! Bai Yu suddenly sensed that this Thunder Talisman Heavenly Soldier had a connection with the Thunder Space of his Fourth Page.
This connection was extremely mysterious, and he couldn’t investigate it clearly.
This was a battlefield, and even if the enemies were not a threat, he could only research it later.
And Bai Yu looked at the twenty Palm Lightning balls that had quickly gathered within the Thunder Domain.
Then he looked at the Blood Clan Modified Beings being beaten.
He thought: Not enough to fight!
Just then, Zhao Bin below suddenly said, “The monitor in the cavern is reacting!”
“A few Sea Monkeys appeared and destroyed the monitor.”
“However, there’s one monitor left in a hidden corner, and it shows a large number of Sea Serpent Clan appearing, as well as Sea Shrimp Clan! It seems…”
Unfortunately, he stopped speaking as the last monitoring device was destroyed.
“I just saw a huge shadow! There’s definitely a powerful character who has arrived.”
