Chapter 156: Demon’s Secret Chamber! Resource Point Monster Nest?
Left the laboratory.
Returned to the Investigation Bureau in Sancha River Town.
As a result, just as they reached the entrance, a slightly awkward scene unfolded.
Those four elves were currently following behind a certain woman, looking like a senior had come to find them!
And this senior was dressed very modernly, in professional attire.
However, her ample chest was somewhat impossible to conceal.
My goodness!
Are all elves this ‘voluptuous’?
And that adorable elf ‘fiercely’ glared at Bai Yu, clearly upset because Bai Yu’s side had sold them out.
Bai Yu: Sigh~! You’re blaming the wrong person. I didn’t want to do this.
The elder of the elf race was very polite, and after sensing the considerable abilities of Bai Yu and the other person, she nodded and smiled slightly.
Afterward, these four elves were escorted into a business car and left.
Jiang Liyue, who was responsible for keeping these elves stable, also walked over and asked curiously, “How did you two get involved with these cute elves?”
Bai Yu replied simply, “Perhaps it’s this damned charm.”
Jiang Liyue rolled her eyes and looked at Li Yunbin, her gaze filled with inquiry.
“After investigating He Tian Village, just as we were about to return, we happened to encounter them and brought them back.”
“Alright. But did you find anything important? I have a feeling something big is about to happen.”
Li Yunbin stated concisely, “There is indeed a major operation. Just wait, it’ll be tonight.”
“. “
Wait?
Can’t we fight now?
It was just about lunchtime as they were busy.
From some peripheral information, Bai Yu and his group vaguely sensed something was amiss; it seemed the Investigation Bureau was frantically deploying personnel to Sancha River Town!
They didn’t know the specific numbers or the details of the operation, only that they had a suspicion.
The Alien Race side was surely aware of this too!
Bai Yu then muttered, “This commotion doesn’t feel like it’s just for He Tian Village!”
Zhao Bin, after finishing his meal, said, “Just the richest man in the village, Tian Zhongyang, his bed and breakfasts alone can accommodate seven to eight hundred people a month.”
“Based on our current investigation, about 50 of them have indeed shown some abnormality.”
“The key is that after our investigation, three of the five locked-on targets actually escaped. The two we caught are both confirmed to have issues!”
Judging solely from these pieces of information, the number of hidden targets could be immense.
However, for a Spirit Sea Realm cultivator to multiply a thousand subordinates already seems heaven-defying, right?
They can’t multiply without limit, can they?
Zhao Bin continued to add, “The officials probably noticed the abnormality a month or two ago. However, they didn’t understand the Blood Demon at the time, so they were aware but couldn’t get a handle on it.”
“Now that they’ve captured Blood Demons and researched countermeasures, they’re definitely digging deeper.”
“Our operation today might just be the fuse.”
“Since the fuse has been lit and we’ve already engaged the enemy, we’ll naturally use this opportunity to clear out the poisonous insects that have been unearthed.”
“As for how far it will escalate, that’s unknown.”
Zhao Bin was quite excited when discussing these matters. Previously, he only investigated cases in the city and dealt with the vanguard of alien races.
Now, to be able to uncover so many secrets directly, the sense of honor was self-evident!
Hearing this, Bai Yu commented, “The higher-ups are doing a decent job. They seem to have some capability. Perform well!”
Jiang Liyue and Yu Rundong’s groups, upon hearing this, felt Bai Yu was joking and a bit arrogant.
But the Seventh Group felt differently!
The recent major events were greatly related to Bai Yu.
And Bai Yu himself was also a little excited about this.
When doing things, one always needs a sense of accomplishment.
His sense of accomplishment came from using intelligence to complete major events, thereby continuously earning advantages for the Human Race.
To reverse future situations through accumulated advantages.
The major events he had already completed were quite numerous.
In terms of experiments alone, the Ten Spirit Nourishing Soup, Purple Gold Thunder Bamboo, and industrial refining of Open Acupoint Pills.
Which of those wasn’t sensational?
As for combat, there were two major battles at the auction and the wharf! The major hidden danger of the Black Demon Ancestor was also firmly suppressed.
As they were finishing their meal, Jiang Liyue asked, “So, are we just waiting here this afternoon?”
Bai Yu already had a plan: “No, no, no, we’re going to look for wild resource points.”
“??? That won’t be easy to find, will it?”
“Maybe we’ll get lucky and find another one.”
“. You’re dreaming a little.”
“Just tell me if you’re coming or not?”
“Coming!”
Afternoon.
The resource points Bai Yu mentioned were naturally the 7 resource locations provided by the intelligence from the underground river.
Unfortunately, the resource locations weren’t given as 3D maps, and he had to find the entrances himself.
For example, for the resource point with Spirit Milk and Spiritual Spring, the cave entrance was about eighty meters away from the actual horizontal straight-line distance to the resource point.
If he couldn’t find the cave entrance, he’d probably have to dig through the ground!
And after spending two hours, they indeed discovered a Spiritual Land beneath a reservoir in the northeastern direction of Sancha River!
This reservoir was 20-30 meters deep, and there seemed to be a small Spiritual Vein underground.
And this Spiritual Land was located at the bottom of the water, covered by a massive rock formation derived from the riverbed rock area.
The Spiritual Land was small, only about 20 square meters.
However, within the small Spiritual Land, there were a hundred Water Spirit Flowers, extremely dense! And they were growing well.
These were very beneficial for Bai Ling, Catfish Spirits, and water element cultivators.
Yu Rundong’s group had a water element cultivator.
A mature Second Rank Water Spirit Flower was priced at 50,000 to 100,000 Federal Currency.
Bai Ling in her Soul Sea sensed the water element Spiritual Energy here and said, ‘Such unique water element Earth Vein energy!’
‘Are you planning to drain it dry?’
‘How could I! I am a righteous god of heaven and earth. Depleting resources would harm my cultivation.’
‘There’s such a rule?’
‘Of course. Ling’er was born from heaven and earth, so she should not harm heaven and earth.’
This style, upon hearing it, was very benevolent and aligned with the Great Dao.
Bai Ling then said, ‘However, I need to go out and investigate the Earth Veins. Perhaps I can gain some benefits from it. The Earth Veins here can also function better. It’s mutually beneficial.’
‘Alright!’
Bai Yu didn’t waste words, feigning the use of a Technique, he extended his right hand, and a white shadow floated out.
Others naturally saw it, but without professional equipment, they couldn’t communicate.
Next, it was naturally a matter of collecting resources.
Since this was a reservoir, an area under official control, there was no need to deplete it entirely.
So Bai Yu and his group only picked 21 mature Water Spirit Flowers.
After everyone took what they needed and swam out.
The other two groups truly couldn’t remain calm!
Yu Rundong really wanted to dissect Bai Yu to see what he was made of.
“How did you find it? A treasure-hunting mouse?”
“Ah, it’s all luck!”
Before these people could get excited, Bai Yu said, “There’s another location nearby. Let’s hurry up and go, lest the Alien Race snatch it away.”
“There’s more!?”
“Perhaps. Let’s see if luck is on our side.”
“. “
Fine! Luck! Luck!
We understand, kid, you’re the chosen one! Blessed with good fortune!
Everyone knew there was some trickery involved. Since Bai Yu didn’t want to explain, they wouldn’t ask further.
But just as Bai Yu was about to leave, he suddenly remembered Bai Ling was still below.
Fortunately, after only two minutes, a bright, more ethereal white light shot out from the water and entered Bai Yu’s body.
Seeing Bai Yu collect this item and turn to leave, the others naturally didn’t dare to ask.
Just follow along and make money! Why ask so many questions?
Bai Ling said excitedly, ‘After my modifications, this place should be able to produce Third Rank Spiritual Items within three to five months.’
‘I’ve also mastered a water element divine art.’
Hearing that Bai Ling had mastered a water element Spiritual Art, Bai Yu was slightly surprised and then they started chatting.
The second resource point was relatively harder to find.
They were busy from 1:30 PM until past 3:00 PM.
They searched a radius of two hundred meters but found nothing.
This made Bai Yu a bit frustrated; the intelligence was too vague!
Land Bureau, you’re not allowed to do this next time! At least give us a 3D map!
And this resource point, Bai Yu clearly couldn’t give up on.
If all else failed, he really wanted to start digging!
However, considering they had an operation tonight, they had to consider the time constraints.
If not digging now, then definitely next time.
Since they couldn’t find it for a long time, everyone gathered on a river bridge.
The bridge was about 15 meters long, and 10 meters below it was a tributary of the Sancha River.
The only thing that looked suspicious was this tributary, which might be an entrance to an underground river.
Bai Yu thought for a moment and said, “Let’s search along the cliff face next to the river channel, and also carefully check the river channel for any cave entrances. If we really can’t find anything, we’ll go back.”
Having followed Bai Yu to find two resource points consecutively, and only searching for an hour or two this time, the others naturally had enough patience and all agreed.
They split into three teams. Two teams followed the cliff face, while Yu Rundong’s team went underwater to look for an underground river entrance.
The river water was relatively clear, and the deepest point was only 5 meters, so it was quite easy to find.
The Seventeenth Group, Jiang Liyue’s team, consisted of four women and two men.
During the search, Jiang Liyue glanced at Han Qing and then asked, “By the way, Sister Qing, weren’t you part of the Seventh Group before? Do you know anything about this new team member?”
Han Qing had a rather cool personality. After thinking for a moment, she said, “Strictly speaking, I’ve only had two encounters. One was escorting an ordinary person home and intercepting an Advanced Fishman who wanted to assassinate him. I encountered him that time.”
“The second time was at Cloud Lake. Group Leader Yu Rundong also participated in that incident.”
Jiang Liyue had naturally heard about the battle at Cloud Lake.
After all, with two to three hundred Fishmen causing such a commotion, they couldn’t have been completely unaware.
Moreover, that period was the crucial third or fourth day of the Fishman Great Purge Operation, and so many Fishmen still appeared!
Fortunately, after the battle at Cloud Lake, the Fishmen became much more subdued.
A young male team member, who looked to be in his mid-twenties, chuckled, “Haha~ It seems the captain has fallen for someone.”
Hearing this, Jiang Liyue retorted angrily, “You’re asking for a beating!”
Saying this, a hint of dark purple aura emanated from her hand.
However, as she turned her gaze to the opposite bank, she frowned slightly.
Without a word, she lightly tapped her feet three times and, as if walking on water, crossed the ten-meter-wide river and reached the other side.
The riverbanks were lined with bushes two to three meters tall, the ground was yellow earth, and the surrounding rock walls were exposed rock blocks mixed with gravel, with many climbable spots.
Jiang Liyue reached out and touched the solidified yellow earth, then looked at the several large rocks in front of her.
Her team members also crossed the river.
“Pan Yi, see if you can push this rock aside.”
Pan Yi was the male team member who had made the joke. He was muscular, looking like someone who frequented a gym.
And he indeed had a special ability in terms of strength, with a current tensile strength test data of 1500kg!
He stepped forward, spat on his palms, then wrapped his arms around the giant rock and exerted immense force.
As he exerted force, the yellow earth clinging to these giant rocks began to fall off.
There’s hope!
“It looks like this giant rock was deliberately placed here to block the entrance.”
“Captain, how did you discover that?”
“I’m an Shadow Element Spirit Demon! I just sensed a surge of Yin energy within this mountain wall.”
Jiang Liyue’s tone was still somewhat proud.
This should be the place Bai Yu mentioned.
But how did he know there was an entrance?
And the giant rock was slowly moved aside. The others naturally didn’t hesitate and joined in.
With several people exerting force simultaneously, the cave entrance was soon revealed.
After confirmation, the team members naturally went to notify Bai Yu and the other two teams.
In front of the cave entrance.
Everyone gathered, feeling the cool, damp air emanating from the cave, as well as a strange, pungent odor. Their expressions were solemn.
Bai Yu: Land Bureau, don’t leave!
Meow meow meow~ This is called a resource point?
It’s clearly a monster’s lair!
Next time you record it, write it in more detail! Otherwise, when I become Bureau Chief, I’ll arrest you all and beat you up.
Meow meow meow~
Li Yunbin said with a solemn expression, “The smell of sulfur, it’s a Demon!”
Demon!
After learning that He Tian Village harbored subordinates of the Gluttony-type Demon, Bai Yu had become quite wary of the Demon race.
Who would have thought that after searching high and low, they’d find it so easily!
If I can find any clues this time, I’ll eventually use the intelligence to wipe you all out!
However, looking at the deep, dark cave, everyone was also somewhat worried.
If a Spirit Sea Realm Demon suddenly popped out of such a secret stronghold, what would they do!?
But the cave had already been opened.
Not going in didn’t seem to fit their personalities.
They were already considered the peak of the mid-tier combat strength in Tianhai City.
If they needed someone to protect them every day during their operations, then the Human Race might as well build a turtle shell, rename themselves Turtle City, and hide inside.
No matter how amazing Bai Yu was, he wasn’t the center of the world.
No matter how high one’s talent, they must go through trials and tribulations to truly mature! Otherwise, they’d be spoiled.
But Bai Yu still couldn’t help but say, “Um, Group Leader, how about we report this to our superiors? At least we’d have some idea of what we’re dealing with.”
“Alright!”
Saying this, Li Yunbin took out his phone, took a picture, and sent his location.
Bai Yu: “??? That’s it?”
“I sent a message to my uncle. There should be more than just Director Yang who came to Sancha River Town from our clan.”
“Oh, oh, he’s definitely more reliable than Director Yang.”
“. “
