Chapter 82: Battling Heaven Club, Huh?
“Brother Wu Xian, hello,” Wang Xiaocong said enthusiastically: “Last time I saw you, you were pretty awesome, but unfortunately you ran too fast and I couldn’t catch up. This time, no matter what, you can’t run away.”
“Misunderstanding~ Misunderstanding.” Wu Xian smiled awkwardly.
Last time he thought the other party disliked him for stealing monsters, but now it seemed Wang Xiaocong clearly wasn’t short on that bit of money.
“No misunderstanding, strangers become friends,” Wang Xiaocong said nonchalantly: “It’s not easy to find a teammate around the same age in the Beginner Instance Area. Let’s team up. Those two over there are bodyguards my Old Master forcibly assigned to me. Just treat them like air.”
Hearing this, the two bodyguards felt secretly helpless.
“Sorry, I have a mission to attend to and may not be able to travel with Brother Wang.”
Wu Xian was still thinking about picking up the Yin Soldiers and Ghost Soldiers to take them home. If not for that Yin Soldier just now being held up by Wang Xiaocong, he wouldn’t have bothered coming over.
“Come on together. I don’t have any specific goal anyway, just purely helping out a brother.” Wang Xiaocong didn’t stand on ceremony at all.
“I appreciate Brother Wang’s kind intentions.” Wu Xian politely prepared to leave.
“Can you handle it alone? Sure you don’t need your bro to lend a hand? Just to make a friend.”
“Cough cough.” The two bodyguards coughed lightly, gesturing with their eyes.
Seeing Wu Xian fly away, Wang Xiaocong felt rather regretful and looked at the two bodyguards in doubt. “What’s up? Is there a problem?”
“Young Master, you’re still a bit too naive. Little Brother basically had ‘don’t want to team up’ written all over his face.”
“Really?” Wang Xiaocong muttered: “But I felt Brother Wu was pretty enthusiastic. Clearly attracted by all this gear of mine.”
The two bodyguards shook their heads with a smile.
……
Under the 【Ghost King】 Marshal’s sensation, he searched all the way.
Unknowingly, he had already incorporated eight Yin Soldiers and Ghost Soldiers, mostly Tier 3 and Tier 4 elite monsters.
If released, they would match the combat power of two or three small teams.
“Hiss~ Are there more over in the mining area?”
Seeing the Ghost King point toward Mine Area No. 7, Wu Xian couldn’t help but hesitate a bit.
But on second thought, with such a big commotion from the depleted mining area, who could link it back to him?
After some hesitation, he rode his sword over.
“No wonder they say criminals often return to the crime scene after escaping. There’s some truth to it.”
As Wu Xian joked to himself, the depleted Mine Area No. 7 came into view.
All the major mines had withdrawn, making the vast mining area eerily quiet, but there were still some official investigators and mine rats active in the mining area.
Entering the intricate mine.
He successively found three Yin Soldiers and Ghost Soldiers left behind here.
“Any more?”
Feeling the sensation transmitted from the 【Ghost King】, Wu Xian was both surprised and delighted.
It seemed that the batch of “enlightenment” seeds scattered last time had mostly stayed inside the mine.
Searching and picking along the way, the Yin Soldiers joined up swiftly as if they had found their organization.
Finally, when the last Yin Soldier joined, there were already a full twenty-one Yin Soldiers and Ghost Soldiers in the Ten Great Yin Marshals Divine Diagram.
The background of the entire Divine Diagram had also become richer, more like a normal scroll, no longer the hollow appearance from before.
“Don’t say it, this complex environment in the mine is pretty suitable for cultivating Yin Soldiers.”
While pondering, he once again had the five Yin Commanders perform incorporation and enlightenment operations.
Just like sowing seeds.
Sow a batch today, and after some time, they would grow into Yin Soldiers and Ghost Soldiers.
“By the way, if given more time, could they grow into commander-level Yin Soldiers?”
Wu Xian decided to delay the next “harvest” time a bit, giving the Yin Soldier seeds more development time.
Exiting the mine, he stepped onto his sword and left.
Continuing to explore deeper into the Abyssal Realm, preparing to hunt some high-quality high-tier abyssal monsters.
Soon after, he vaguely saw the defense line of Yaoyang City’s control zone, where the army was stationed year-round.
Beyond the defense line was the true Abyssal Realm.
“Yo~ Such a strong aura of wealth!”
After the God of Wealth’s 【Aura of Wealth】 greatly improved, it was indeed different.
He could precisely sniff out a trace of wealth aura from far away.
But only after approaching did he discover someone had beaten him to it.
Daring to venture this deep clearly meant they had some strength, especially since the opponent was alone.
“That’s… Zombie Uncle, right?” Wu Xian recognized the other’s Painted Spirit at a glance. “From War Heaven Club?”
Looking again at the club badge on the man’s chest, he was also a Silver Rank player.
Not very old either, at most in his early thirties, with a proper-looking face and a decorative battle mark on his forehead.
“Silver Scroll four-and-a-half star, can fight!”
Of course, avoid fighting if possible. The focus was that spiritual plant growing on the cliff wall, guarded by numerous abyssal monsters around it.
A delicate flower emitting a faint rotten stench.
Though he didn’t recognize it, it had a heavy wealth scent—definitely valuable.
The War Heaven Club guy was also trying to approach that spirit herb, but the terrain and abyssal monsters around it made it hard to get close.
Wu Xian’s side was different.
With a flying vehicle, approaching was obviously much easier.
Swoosh!
The Laurel Branch flashed with cold light, instantly slaying an incoming Yin Soul Abyssal Monster.
The God of Wealth appeared, his mount Black Tiger roaring to intimidate the abyssal monsters, lightning magic crackling down, obliterating numerous Yin Soul Abyssal Monsters.
Then, riding his sword over, he reached out and grabbed, securing the spirit herb. His Aura of Wealth instantly surged by a large amount.
Up on the cliff, the proper-looking man was dumbfounded. He was still figuring it out when it got snatched in the blink of an eye.
“Damn it, where did this young people come from, daring to rob War Heaven Club’s stuff?”
“Tch, why don’t you say the entire Abyssal Realm belongs to your War Heaven Club?”
Wu Xian raised an eyebrow sarcastically, then calmly rode his sword away.
The next second, he was locked by a terrifying aura.
Looking back, he saw Zombie Uncle’s blood-red eyes staring deathly at him, as if releasing some mental suppression skill.
Like staring contests, huh?
Wu Xian immediately released Horse Face Marshal to “stare” back, instantly dispelling the skill.
Seeing this, the proper-looking man’s face flickered uncertainly as he picked up a double-barreled large-caliber mechanical gun.
“…” Wu Xian’s mind went black.
You’re the one who doesn’t play by martial virtue, huh?
Boom!
Intense energy cannon fire assaulted him.
Luckily, Wu Xian had Aura of Wealth Protection and wasn’t badly hurt, but it inexplicably pissed him off.
“Nice one, War Heaven Club!”
Think I’m easy to bully just because the tiger doesn’t show its might?
With that, his mental power surged, and the Ten Great Yin Marshals Divine Diagram domineeringly unfolded above his head.
Perhaps because of incorporating twenty-one Yin Soldiers, the Ten Great Yin Marshals Divine Diagram’s aura had clearly strengthened a lot.
“Scroll Painter?!”
The moment he saw the Divine Diagram, the proper-looking man paled in shock, a sinister glint flashing in his eyes.
Wu Xian didn’t waste words with him. Ox Head and Ghost King, the two battle enthusiasts, charged out together, clashing with Zombie Uncle.
Just a mere zombie daring to act arrogant in front of Young Master.
In mere moments, War Heaven Club’s so-called main force 【Zombie Uncle】 was pinned down and rubbed on the ground.
Before the opponent could release a second Axis Scroll Painting for support, Zombie Uncle was torn apart like guts spilling by the Ghost King. Even the Painted Spirit energy dispersing after shattering was completely devoured by the Ghost King.
The Ghost King advanced on the spot from three-star to four-star.
“So killing Painted Spirits upgrades this fast?”
Wu Xian secretly rejoiced. Looking at the opponent’s second Axis Scroll Painting flung out, his expression turned odd.
It was a Silver Scroll four-star, an ink-green giant snake with head wrapped in spiked armor, over seven or eight meters long, shrouded in ink-green poisonous fog, coldly flicking its tongue at him.
Though Ghost King and Ox Head could definitely beat it, Wu Xian still recalled the two Yin Commanders.
Then, he released the long-unused 【Guardian Chicken King】.
This was the gap between a Spirit Tamer and a Scroll Painter.
