Chapter 182

After hanging up the communication.

"Senior Liu Jing is coming personally? It seems this ten-meter-high Soul-Nourishing Ancient Spirit Wood is indeed precious enough to make them break the rules." Li Yuan thought secretly.

Li Yuan is clear that the outpost base has its own operating rules, and wanting to persuade a first-rank martial artist with Fourth Stage skills to be willing to stay forever in a star realm that is almost barbaric is very difficult.

Secondly, the number of Yuan martial artists in Seven Star human civilization is also limited, and there are many directions to invest resources.

Treasures and materials are resources.

Powerhouses like Yuan martial artists and Flying martial artists are also a kind of resource.

Therefore, like the No. 3 outpost base, the number of Yuan martial artists is limited, and Yuan martial artists will not make a move unless it is a last resort.

Otherwise, once they die outside, causing a lack of high-end combat power, it is easy to cause a chain reaction, causing the entire base to be destroyed.

"Within 1000 kilometers of the outpost base, it is a line drawn by the high-level Xia Nation for the base." Li Yuan thought secretly: "Within 1000 kilometers, in some special circumstances, Yuan martial artists can make a move."

For example, needing to open up a resource point with extremely high value.

Or for example—natural treasures worth more than 1 billion.

Or targeting a goal with extremely high value.

"900 kilometers from the base." Li Yuan thought: "If not taking a flying vehicle, at the speed of a Yuan martial artist, rushing over at full speed, it should be possible to arrive within five hours."

900 kilometers over mountains and ridges, and 900 kilometers on a plain, are two concepts.

"I don't know if Senior Liu Jing is coming alone, or with multiple Yuan martial artists? Or bringing other first-rank martial artists, or even some heavy weapons?" Li Yuan thought secretly.

Li Yuan didn't want to think too much anymore.

Stood up, walked further away, and found a relatively hidden cave.

Started practicing quietly.

Today's 《All Heavens Starry Sky》 and 《Contemplating the Great Sun Starry Sky Sutra》 haven't been practiced yet.

Moreover, the cultivation just now only slightly relieved the fatigue of his body.

"Five or six hours."

"Before Senior Liu Jing arrives, strive to restore physical strength to the peak, so as not to make mistakes in the big battle." Li Yuan closed his eyes, practicing quietly.

Of course, most of Li Yuan's spiritual force was still sensing the outside world, vigilant against encountering a surprise attack.

In the small cave where Li Yuan was practicing quietly, about two kilometers away, in a quiet dense forest.

"Almost."

"Was discovered by him." The figure in the blue-green battle suit looked at the smart ring that had been hung up, shaking his head slightly: "This kid, really amazing."

Swish~ The battle suit retracted, revealing a slightly old face, surprisingly Liu Jing.

The one who had been secretly following and protecting Li Yuan was originally Liu Jing.

Not long after Li Yuan set off from Observation Point 19, Liu Jing arranged according to the plan above, and immediately set off from the war base, finally catching up with him when Li Yuan was in seclusion in the cliff.

Precisely because of this.

Just now, Li Yuan dialed Liu Jing's communication, which took nearly 20 seconds for Liu Jing to get through.

Because he had to retreat a distance to avoid being detected by Li Yuan.

Secret protection.

But one must never let the protected person detect it; only by not letting them have psychological dependence can one achieve the greatest degree of tempering protection.

"Didn't expect."

"There is actually such a strange treasure hidden in this Flying Snake Valley?" Liu Jing muttered to himself, shaking his head slightly: "I didn't dare to descend deeper just now, and didn't detect it."

Liu Jing had to admit that even with the blessing of a special battle suit, he was not as good as Li Yuan in terms of stealth alone.

Just now, when Li Yuan was exploring downward, Liu Jing only dared to descend about 800 meters into the canyon, and didn't dare to continue going deep.

Continue moving forward? Very likely to be discovered by the flying snakes.

No choice.

Whether it is spiritual force or skills, Li Yuan is far beyond him, and the auxiliary functions of Li Yuan's battle suit are also extremely strong.

"Only, besides treasures, there are actually two second-rank flying snakes?" A cold light flashed in Liu Jing's eyes.

Compared to the Soul-Nourishing Ancient Spirit Wood, Liu Jing cares more about the existence of second-rank aliens.

He could fully anticipate.

If he doesn't intervene, the Black Feather Flying Snake group will definitely expand frantically from Flying Snake Valley in all directions in the near future... sooner or later, it will break out into a fierce conflict with the No. 3 outpost base.

This is the experience he gained from sitting in the Mingxu Star Realm for more than thirty years and fighting many aliens time and time again.

This is also the reason for delineating a 1000-kilometer sphere of influence for the base.

Only when there are no second-rank aliens within this range can it be guaranteed that there will be no conflict with more distant and powerful alien forces.

Only then can he continue to keep a low profile.

If a second-rank alien is born within the sphere of influence? Then take advantage of the fact that the opponent has just broken through and strangle them as early as possible!

"Only, facing the temptation of treasures worth tens of billions, Li Yuan can actually resist the temptation in his heart, without taking any risks, being so steady, it is rare." Liu Jing thought secretly: "His strength is also shockingly strong."

"The data shows that he is only Level 16.5, but judging from his battle situation all the way, it's probably close to Level 19... really weird." Liu Jing shook his head slightly.

He will report Li Yuan's specialness, but he won't take the initiative to ask Li Yuan, and is even more lazy to delve into it.

Nothing else!

It's meaningless.

Sitting in the Mingxu Star Realm for thirty years, his cultivation has long reached a bottleneck... Liu Jing looks at many things very indifferently.

In Liu Jing's view.

As long as Li Yuan does not betray the human race, what about some secrets and opportunities? Does it have anything to do with me?

Thought for a while.

Hum~

Liu Jing opened his smart ring and dialed another communication, which was connected quickly.

"Old Liu." A cold female voice sounded.

"I am in Flying Snake Valley now..." Liu Jing quickly recounted the situation, only omitting the Soul-Nourishing Ancient Spirit Wood: "This place has extremely high value, perhaps it is qualified to re-establish an outpost base."

"Even a 'Breeding Zone'." Liu Jing said.

"Breeding Zone?" There was a trace of shock in the woman's voice.

Human civilization is fighting with a large number of alien civilizations in many star realms and has occupied quite a few star realms... In most star realms, it is purely war.

But they will also choose some suitable star realms and send in a large number of ordinary people to breed... This is the Breeding Zone.

Only, it is extremely difficult to establish a stable Breeding Zone.

"This is just a hypothesis." Liu Jing smiled slightly: "After all, we are permanently stationed in the Mingxu Star Realm; don't we all hope that more Yuan martial artists, or even Flying martial artists, will appear? Only by becoming a Breeding Zone can our outpost base become like a normal city, and eventually become our second hometown."

"My lifelong wish is that our Seven Star human civilization can truly stand firm in the Mingxu Star Realm, rather than being ready to retreat at any time as it is now." Liu Jing said.

The woman was silent.

Indeed!

The four outpost bases of Seven Star human civilization are all ready to retreat at any time.

But others can retreat, where can they, a few Yuan martial artists, go? They can't go anywhere.

"What do you want me to do?" The woman asked.

"Mobilize the exploration team, the First Martial Artist Brigade, the environmental data team, the First Mechanical Troop, the Second Mechanical Troop... all of them." Liu Jing said in one breath: "I want to establish an advance camp here and produce an 'investigation report' as quickly as possible."

"All of them?"

"Once they are damaged outside, the alliance will not replenish us in a short time." The woman was shocked again: "Are you so sure? Can you get Han Chong to agree?"

"So just get you to agree, two to one." Liu Jing laughed: "Whether he opposes or doesn't oppose, it doesn't mean much."

The woman had nothing to say.

"I am old, I can't fight a few more times." Liu Jing said indifferently: "This time we have to fight with the Tianliang tribe; it's 900 kilometers from our base, and 1400 kilometers from them... the faster the better, so that the higher-ups can make up their minds early and invest resources as soon as possible."

"The sooner a complete base defense system is established here, the more helpless the Tianliang tribe will be." Liu Jing said.

He had this idea long ago.

Thought for a while.

"Good." The woman in the communication finally agreed: "I will formulate a plan as soon as possible... but the team is huge, plus many scientific research personnel have relatively weak strength, and everyone wants to arrive safely; even with the mechanical team clearing the way... it is expected to take three days to arrive."

900 kilometers apart.

With a large number of aliens blocking the way, it is very difficult for an outpost base to remotely send so many people.

"Good." Liu Jing knew that three days was already the fastest time.

One Yuan martial artist acting, and a large team of nearly a thousand people acting, are two concepts.

Hung up the call.

"Li Yuan is here; with his strength, he should be safe for the time being."

"Go and clean up the people in that Tianliang tribe station first." Liu Jing frowned slightly: "Li Yuan killed people and asked questions first, and then made such a big commotion just now, resounding through half of Flying Snake Valley; as long as the Tianliang tribe is not stupid, they must have already noticed."

Already startled the snake, so there is no need to hold back.

Thunderous deterrence is the best policy.

However, Liu Jing knew in his heart that once the opponent is completely cleaned up, the Tianliang tribe might be intimidated and not dare to come again, or they might send Yuan martial artists to compete.

"Can only gamble."

Whoosh!

Liu Jing's figure moved, the battle suit appeared, wrapped his whole body again, and disappeared into the mountain forest quickly.

Sneaking toward the Tianliang tribe station.

Ten-plus minutes later.

"No one?" Liu Jing looked at the empty Tianliang tribe station below, and couldn't help shaking his head slightly: "They are smart, retreated fast enough."

More than ten kilometers away from the station.

A burly man 'Logan' was running wildly with less than ten Tianliang tribe warriors left.

"Captain, do we need to retreat so urgently?" A Tianliang tribe warrior couldn't help saying: "Even if a Yuan martial artist of the Seven Star human race comes, there's no need to be so urgent."

They were just woken up from their sleep by Logan.

"Captain, what about Carson and the other two? They haven't returned yet." Another Tianliang tribe warrior couldn't help asking.

They took turns going out to scout.

Therefore, when they retreated to save their lives, the three who went to scout Flying Snake Valley had no time to retreat at all.

"Trash."

"Since the Seven Star human race has come, they must be sure of capturing Flying Snake Valley; Lord Xue Shu himself fled first. Once they discover us, do you think we can hold on?" Logan said coldly.

A group of Tianliang tribe warriors were speechless.

"I even suspect that the three people who were suspected of being attacked by flying snakes before were killed by the experts of the Seven Star human race." Logan shook his head: "As for Carson and the other three? They have been notified; let's see their own ability to escape."

"We retreat ourselves."

Many Tianliang tribe warriors didn't dare to speak.

Logan abandoning the three directly still made them feel cold.

"In addition, report the news here to Lord Xue Shu, saying that we risked scouting and discovered traces of a large number of Seven Star human martial artists, and there is a suspected second-rank powerhouse in the Seven Star human race team; remember it is suspected, cannot be confirmed... this is the fact, do you all remember?" Logan's cold eyes swept over his subordinates: "I hope everyone will take this credit together."

Many Tianliang tribe warriors looked at each other and said in unison: "Yes."

About 300 kilometers away from Flying Snake Valley, in an inconspicuous canyon, a large number of Tianliang tribe warriors were stationed.

"A second-rank powerhouse of the Seven Star human race has come?"

"Seven Star human civilization must have discovered the secret of Flying Snake Valley." The blood-robed strange youth 'Xue Shu' looked at the message sent by Logan, his eyes cold: "There is no way to end this well."

He also discovered the Soul-Nourishing Ancient Spirit Wood.

However, it was analyzed through some signs, rather than exploring deep to the very bottom like Li Yuan, so he didn't know about the existence of second-rank flying snakes.

Therefore, Xue Shu had always wanted to swallow the treasure alone and had been preparing.

He didn't tell the Tianliang tribe high-level in the Mingxu Star Realm before.

"Relying on myself, I am destined not to seize it." Xue Shu shook his head slightly and dialed the communicator immediately.

1100 kilometers from the main base, he could already communicate.

About 1400 kilometers away from Flying Snake Valley, there was a small city with a sense of science fiction here, but like the 'outpost base' of Seven Star human civilization, it was also hidden in high mountains, surrounded by jungle.

It would not be easily detected.

Here was the main station of the Tianliang tribe in the Mingxu Star Realm, gathering a large number of practitioners.

Inside the station, in a small conference room, several white-clothed figures gathered here, each with extraordinary aura.

All surrounded a huge light screen projection.

"The situation at the moment is like this."

A figure in casual clothes said slowly: "Xue Shu is a core disciple of the Sacred Land and will not tell lies; Soul-Nourishing Ancient Spirit Wood is actually not important."

"The key is the large number of Blood-Activating Yuan Spirit Ganoderma; if they can be matured and mass-produced, this is definitely a treasure land."

"I even suspect that there are other secrets at the bottom of Flying Snake Valley, which is worth us sparing no cost." The figure in casual clothes said: "My resolution is to compete for it with all our might; do you agree?"

"Agree!"

"Agree!"

"Abstain."

..."Good, six votes in favor, one abstention." The figure in casual clothes said: "Execute immediately."

"At the moment, we have lost the first opportunity."

"The mechanical troop can only be dispatched subsequently; we must first mobilize an elite team... Delgado, Mori, you two go at full speed and try your best to block the actions of the Seven Star human team with Xue Shu's team."

"Our follow-up team will arrive as soon as possible."

Time passed second by second.

In the outer area of Flying Snake Valley, Li Yuan had been practicing quietly.

After practicing 《Contemplating the Great Sun Starry Sky Sutra》 for more than two hours, he continued to practice 《All Heavens Starry Sky》, constantly guiding Yuan force into his body, pushing his physical fitness to further improve.

"【Your life level has been upgraded from 19.0 to 19.1】"

"【Your strength, from...】" The God Palace panel flashed several prompts in succession.

Whoosh!

Li Yuan sensed this: "Approaching the big battle, strength has improved slightly again, good thing."

Yuan force entering the body is not common after all; most of the time, one still has to rely on step-by-step cultivation.

Another hour or so passed.

"Hmm?" Li Yuan felt in his heart, sensing a powerful existence approaching within a hundred meters, and instantly his whole body's hair stood on end, his heart becoming vigilant to the extreme.

Subconsciously.

Li Yuan had already gripped the spear in front of him, Yuan force flowing in his star pulses, ready to erupt.

"Li Yuan." A low voice sounded.
