Chapter 179: Infiltration! Flying Snake Nest (Added chapter 2)

Li Yuan understood that this was an illusion produced after he had just completed his transformation and his strength skyrocketed.

"One spear? I guess it's a bit difficult, two spears." Li Yuan muttered to himself: "If he uses the Demon Blood Spirit Crystal again, I should be able to solve it within ten spears."

The power, speed, and defense improvement brought by the Demon Blood Spirit Crystal have an upper limit.

"Regardless."

"Facing an entry-level Source Martial Artist, even a Level 22 entry-level Source Martial Artist, after I activate the source power armor, I have the strength to fight." Li Yuan thought to himself.

If it's a Level 20 Source Martial Artist? Li Yuan has a certain degree of confidence in defeating or even killing him.

Because Li Yuan's current fist strength exceeds 50,000 kilograms, and with heart-mind micro-perception eruption, it exceeds 90,000 kilograms, which is about the same as the eruption of an ordinary Level 20 Source Martial Artist.

Power is equivalent, and skill occupies an absolute advantage, so even if source power is weak, there is a huge hope of winning.

However, if the opponent reaches Level 23? Then the hope of winning is slim, because the basic fist strength of an intermediate Source Martial Artist is 240,000 kilograms!!

If it's a senior Source Martial Artist above Level 26? Li Yuan will be killed in one move.

"Our Seven Star human Source Martial Artists all have source power armor, and their vitality is ten times stronger." Li Yuan thought to himself: "But the native life forms in the Mingxu Star Realm don't."

This is the advantage of Source Martial Artists.

In reality, among the many alien civilizations that the Seven Star human civilization has contacted, most cannot mass-produce "source power armor," especially beast civilizations, which are generally very weak in technology, even approaching wildness.

Even the Tianliang civilization's research on source power armor and source power weapons is weaker than that of the Seven Star human civilization.

This is also one of Li Yuan's bottom lines for daring to break into Flying Snake Valley.

"Flying Snake Valley, has been under the surveillance of Outpost Base No. 3 for a long time, and there has been no clear trace of Second Rank aliens for so long." Li Yuan pondered: "So, the probability of Second Rank aliens being born is very low; even if they are born, the probability of exceeding Level 22 is not more than 1%, otherwise the sphere of influence of the Flying Snake ethnic group would not be huddled here."

According to the research of the Seven Star human civilization, the native life forms born in the star realm, many have extremely strong bloodlines, and can naturally become First Rank life forms or even Second Rank life forms.

But bloodline is also a shackle, extremely difficult to break.

"Compared to the Flying Snake ethnic group, what I really need to worry about is the Tianliang civilization." Li Yuan thought to himself: "However, according to the captive intelligence confession, it seems there are no Second Rank powerhouses accompanying."

"Should not be lying."

The reason is very simple.

If the powerhouses coming from the Tianliang clan had Second Rank powerhouses, they could completely sweep Flying Snake Valley rapidly.

In the process of hunting down Wang Zhou, they wouldn't have let Wang Zhou and the others escape.

But on the other hand.

"Does not exclude that everything I know is fake, and it's all a killing trap set by the Tianliang clan." Li Yuan's eyes narrowed: "The purpose is to lure our human martial artists away from the outpost base."

"Must be careful."

"For treasures, I must fight, and it is also training myself." Li Yuan thought to himself: "But it is definitely not taking risks blindly."

After thinking everything through.

Li Yuan took out his backpack, drank water and ate food, and continued to review the plan he had envisioned... confirming it was correct, he carried his backpack and jumped down, like an ape, quickly infiltrating the vast mountain forest.

Rushing toward the direction of "Flying Snake Valley."

Not long after.

Hum!

A blue-green robed figure slowly emerged; he was almost integrated with the surrounding environment, not making a sound.

"In less than ten hours, how come I feel his strength has improved by a large margin?"

"Such strong stealth ability."

"Is this Heaven and Man as One? Indeed extraordinary; if it weren't for my special armor to restrain my aura, I'm afraid I would have been discovered by him." The mysterious figure muttered to himself: "Fortunately, there is the smart ring watch constantly positioning... otherwise, I would have really lost him."

Even so, he didn't dare to follow too closely, fearing being detected.

Whoosh!

Silently, the mysterious figure moved, and a beast-type life form gnawing on the ground not far away didn't notice at all.

From the mountain cliff retreat to the outer perimeter of Flying Snake Valley, it was only about 100 kilometers.

If Li Yuan moved forward at full speed, he would have arrived in an hour, it's just that he tried his best to restrain his aura, and his speed was not fast, even slow.

The closer he got, the slower he went.

Powerful spiritual power, Heaven and Man as One skill... made the hundred-meter range around him almost unable to escape his perception.

Crossing another mountain ridge.

Li Yuan stopped, his body slightly crouched, his eyes narrowed, staring at over a hundred meters away.

Sizzle sizzle~

On the rugged gravel, a large number of vines grew, and on those vines, several giant snake-shaped creatures as thick as a human waist and over twenty meters long were coiled.

These creatures were pitch black, only those giant eyes were blood-red; their appearance was very similar to snakes on Blue Star, only that a pair of long sharp claws grew on their waist and abdomen, and a pair of retracted wings grew on their backs.

This was the "Black Feather Flying Snake."

Clatter~ One of the Black Feather Flying Snakes suddenly raised its head, its huge body slightly arched, and the wings on its back spread out, covering the sky and the sun, with a wingspan of over twenty meters.

"The wings of First Rank flying snakes can only glide, very difficult to take off directly." Li Yuan's mind was filled with a lot of data intelligence about Black Feather Flying Snakes.

Their wings are not big enough to support their huge bodies to take off directly.

However, once transformed into a Second Rank flying snake, with source power support, they can easily take off.

Flight!

This is an ability that countless Second Rank powerhouses of ethnic groups envy.

Like the top-tier Source Martial Artists in human civilization, most of them cannot fly, at most they can hover for a short time.

"Judging from the body shape and appearance, the strength of these Black Feather Flying Snakes should be around Level 18." Li Yuan's Divine Palace investigation judged this point.

If it were a Second Rank flying snake, besides the body length exceeding thirty meters and being more huge, a horn would protrude from the top of their heads, like a dragon.

"Killing these few flying snakes is not difficult."

"But it's easy to startle the snake; according to intelligence, there are tens of thousands of flying snakes living in Flying Snake Valley, and there are at least a thousand exceeding Level 18." Li Yuan's figure slowly retreated, hiding in the mountain forest.

Changed direction and continued to move forward toward the depths of Flying Snake Valley.

Killing flying snakes? Not the purpose.

What Li Yuan wants to find is the specific location of the "heaven-and-earth treasure" mentioned by the captives and Wang Zhou, and then make the next decision.

Time passed.

On the way, Li Yuan would occasionally encounter flying snakes.

Gradually, Li Yuan discovered that most were ordinary flying snakes around Level 15, and those exceeding Level 18 were a minority.

But the density of flying snakes made his scalp tingle; the quantity was too large.

Gradually, Li Yuan discovered that most of them were ordinary flying snakes around Level 15, and those that could exceed Level 18 were in the minority.

Just the food source alone couldn't be solved.

Fortunately.

Li Yuan's stealth ability had reached a "perverted" level, even Second Rank Source Martial Artists might not be able to detect him, allowing him to quickly approach the most core area of Flying Snake Valley.

If other Level 19 martial artists came, they would have long since broken out in battle with some flying snakes.

"Flying Snake Valley." Li Yuan passed through the jungle and came to the edge of a huge canyon.

If it were any other Level 19 martial artist, they would have already broken out into battle with some flying snakes.

"According to the intelligence investigation, Flying Snake Valley stretches for twenty kilometers, with a maximum width of 814 meters, the narrowest part is about 300 meters, and the average depth of the canyon should exceed 1800 meters." Li Yuan thought to himself.

Such a deep canyon is very rare on Blue Star, completely worthy of being called a crack in the earth.

However.

When Li Yuan looked up and saw the "Ming Mountain" like a pillar of heaven at the end of the sky, he was relieved.

Just like Yang Zhu encountered before: "The star realm is mysterious, everything is possible, what we can do is accept it."

"Flying Snake." Li Yuan suddenly caught a glimpse of dozens of flying snakes gliding out from the mountain peak opposite the canyon, quickly disappearing into the mist.

Just what Li Yuan could see with his naked eye, there were many traces of flying snakes on the mountain walls on both sides of the canyon.

"Perhaps."

"Dropping a nuclear bomb here could solve most of the problems in Flying Snake Valley." Li Yuan muttered.

But Li Yuan just thought about it.

The terrifying power of a nuclear bomb eruption would likely attract the attention of flying-level existences.

Flying-level existences are very sensitive to large-scale energy fluctuations in the vast world.

"In the mist deep in the canyon is the true Flying Snake Nest." Li Yuan thought to himself: "Don't rush, first find the Tianliang clan."

Without finding the Tianliang clan, Li Yuan wouldn't want to risk breaking into it.

Hum~

Silently, Li Yuan moved away from the canyon and began to search for traces of the Tianliang clan along the mountain walls on both sides.

Li Yuan believed.

If it were really as the captive said, they had over 200 Tianliang warriors, then... it was impossible to have no traces.

... A dark canyon stretching over twenty kilometers, searching ten kilometers on both sides of the mountain range, such a large range, if let an ordinary human explore, I'm afraid it wouldn't be explored for months.

But with Li Yuan's strength.

Only eight hours later.

"Tianliang clan camp." Li Yuan hid in the mountain forest, staring far away at the large camp in the remote quiet valley below, as well as two Tianliang warriors.

This camp, as long as it is slightly far away, it is very difficult to notice.

And it is a distance away from the daily activity area of the flying snakes, so it has always been very safe.

Being able to find this place in such a short time, besides Li Yuan's astonishing investigation efficiency, there is also a component of luck.

"Such a large camp, by number of people, should indeed exceed 200."

"However, why are there not many people? Could it be that the Tianliang clan has already started acting?" Li Yuan had doubts in his heart.

Relying on the few warriors in the camp, Li Yuan could easily solve them.

But he didn't act.

The enemy is in the light, I am in the dark; this is Li Yuan's greatest advantage.

"Wait." Li Yuan was very patient.

... This wait was a full six hours; there is no concept of "night" in the Mingxu Star Realm.

"Hmm? Is it him?" Li Yuan's eyes brightened slightly, and a familiar figure appeared in his line of sight.

A burly man carrying a battle blade was reprimanding several ordinary warriors.

The burly man was exactly one of the two great Tianliang captains who escaped from Li Yuan's hands, "Logan."

"Adding up the camp, there are still only a dozen people." Li Yuan frowned: "So many Tianliang warriors, it's impossible that they all died."

"And."

"The 'Holy Land disciple Lord Xue Shu' heavily mentioned in the intelligence, not one meets the target."

... After observing for a period of time, Li Yuan

"None of the 'Sacred Land disciple Lord Xue Shu' mentioned in the intelligence matches the target."

... After observing for a period of time, Li Yuan gradually discovered that these Tianliang tribe warriors seemed to leave the station in 'turns'.

They constantly headed toward the direction of Flying Snake Valley to explore.

"Could it be that the main force of the Tianliang tribe has retreated?" A thought emerged in Li Yuan's heart.

Three hours later, three Tianliang tribe warriors set off from the station, cursing in low voices.

"Damn it, to actually leave us here to die."

"Who can we blame?"

"We can only blame our captain for actually returning alive alone, even Captain Molong died."

"Be glad; if we had participated in the pursuit mission together before, we would probably all be dead at the hands of the Seven Star humans by now." The three whispered to each other in the 'Tianliang language', all feeling quite dissatisfied in their hearts.

"Is this kind of exploration useful? We don't dare to enter the core area of Flying Snake Valley at all."

"It's useless, just putting on a show."

"Let's just wander around the outskirts of Flying Snake Valley and go back."

"So much time has passed, and we haven't seen any traces of Seven Star humans; they probably didn't come." The three continued to chat in low voices while remaining vigilant of their surroundings.

As elite warriors of the Tianliang tribe, although they were dissatisfied in their hearts, their combat proficiency was still extremely high.

Silently.

"Pfft~" In the seemingly calm and harmless grass nearby, a black blade light suddenly lit up. Two Tianliang tribe warriors didn't even have time to react before their heads instantly flew up.

Fresh blood sprayed.

"Not good." The Tianliang tribe warrior walking at the very front immediately turned around, shocked and furious, subconsciously wanting to press the 'communicator' on his hand to call for help.

Crack~ His hand was fast, but that streak of blade light was faster.

Pfft!

The blade light swept past, and the arm of this thin, tall Tianliang tribe warrior instantly broke and fell off. Fresh blood sprayed, and the communicator on his wrist naturally fell off as well.

Boom~

Another lightning-fast kick came, directly kicking this Tianliang tribe warrior flying backward, and a mouthful of fresh blood sprayed from his mouth.

The gap in strength was too great.

Three Tianliang tribe warriors who were only Level 18 were like infants facing a strong man in front of the current Li Yuan.

Boom! Another flicker of his figure.

Li Yuan instantly rushed in front of the opponent and stepped on his uninjured arm.

Crack~ The sound of bones shattering.

"Ahhh~" This Tianliang tribe warrior let out a low wail, his eyes seemingly able to spray fire, staring fixedly at Li Yuan.

"You have the 'Squad Leader' insignia on your chest; I know you can speak the Seven Star human language." Li Yuan's voice was cold: "I ask, you answer, and I will give you a quick death."

"Dream on." This Tianliang tribe warrior roared.

A pill was stuffed directly into his mouth. In just a few seconds, his eyes widened.

It was too painful, more than ten times more painful than a severed arm.

Not long after, two more pills were stuffed into his mouth.

When Li Yuan prepared to stuff three pills into his mouth at the same time, this Tianliang tribe warrior finally gave up and was willing to say anything.

After quickly clarifying the relevant intelligence.

Pfft!

A blade swept past, and Li Yuan gave the opponent a quick death; the head fell to the ground.

The body fell heavily.

"His willpower is strong enough; it probably rivals many Yuan martial artists." Li Yuan muttered to himself: "I thought I would need to use a Hundred Marrow Spirit Wither pill."

Li Yuan had already obtained the intelligence he wanted.

Could it be false intelligence?

During the questioning, Li Yuan's powerful spiritual force had been sensing his heartbeat, pulse, mental fluctuations, eyes, and expressions... The possibility of it being false was very low.

"Lord Xue Shu, if there are no traces of us Seven Star humans, will you return within three days?"

"Counting the time, today is the end of the first day."

"In other words, it will take two more days to return?" Li Yuan thought secretly: "Go to the center of the canyon first to confirm whether the location of the natural treasures is true."

Whoosh!

Li Yuan's figure moved and disappeared into the jungle.

Not long after, dozens of flying snakes were deliberately attracted by Li Yuan, quickly destroying the scene of the killing just now... Li Yuan killed two more flying snakes.

Creating the illusion that these three Tianliang tribe warriors had encountered an attack by a group of flying snakes.

Everything was done.

Li Yuan then shook off the pursuit of the flying snake group, cleaned the scent off his body, and quickly headed toward the center of the canyon, the core area shrouded by countless mists.

"Let's see what kind of treasure it is that actually has such great attraction."
