~13 min read 2,493 words

"I just explored the surroundings, there are many Flying Snake corpses, but I haven't found any traces of Seven Stars humans for the time being." Another tall and thin man wearing a battle suit said softly.

"Delgado, Mo Li, do you suspect I am lying?" The blood-robed exotic youth 'Lord Xue Shu' had a hint of anger in his eyes.

The burly man and Mo Li looked at each other and didn't speak.

In terms of strength, they, as Tier-2 experts, were naturally superior to Lord Xue Shu.

But the other party was a core disciple of the Holy Land, and his sequence level in the Tianliang tribe was higher than theirs.

"It shouldn't be, how could there be no..." The blood-robed exotic youth Lord Xue Shu looked down at the canyon below, scanned it twice, and suddenly his face changed: "Not good, we are late."

"Look, you guys." Lord Xue Shu pointed to a cliff nearly a thousand meters away: "There are so many Flying Snake corpses."

"What?"

"Flying Snake corpses?" The burly man and the tall and thin youth looked over immediately.

Only to see on that slope cliff.

There were large numbers of Flying Snake corpses, and there were very obvious traces of fierce fighting on the mountain wall.

It was just that they were directly above this cliff just now.

Plus the Flying Snake corpses, blood, and vines were similar in color, so they didn't notice it the first time.

"Not just one place, look, there are traces of fighting over there too."

"And there." With intentional observation, the three Tianliang tribe experts observed carefully and found more traces.

Enough to infer.

Not long ago, a tragic battle erupted inside Flying Snake Valley.

"Such a tragic battle, it must be a Tier-2 confrontation. Are we late?" The burly man Delgado frowned: "Lord Xue Shu, you said there are Soul-Nourishing Ancient Spirit Fruits at the bottom of the valley?"

"90% probability." Lord Xue Shu nodded heavily; he had his own judgment method.

"Then let's go." Delgado said softly: "Find out the truth."

"Go together?" The tall and thin youth Mo Li frowned: "Will there be an ambush?"

"You don't have to go, I have no opinion. If the Soul-Nourishing Ancient Spirit Fruit is still there, don't mind me hiding one or two." Delgado said indifferently.

After saying that.

Whoosh! Delgado moved his figure and flew towards the bottom of Flying Snake Valley along the cliff rapidly.

"Let's go." Mo Li shrugged his shoulders and immediately descended to charge forward.

"These two guys." Lord Xue Shu gritted his teeth. His strength was the weakest, so he naturally didn't want to go deep into the dangerous Flying Snake Valley... but for the Soul-Nourishing Ancient Spirit Fruit, he was extremely eager.

"Try it."

"If we really encounter danger, Delgado and the others won't harm me." Lord Xue Shu thought to himself: "Besides, the Flying Snake tribe doesn't seem to be wiped out, and there are no traces of Seven Stars human experts. It's highly probable that the Seven Stars human martialists have left."

Whoosh! Lord Xue Shu also followed the cliff and scouted down constantly.

The three Tianliang tribe experts didn't hide at all, rushing forward, and the Flying Snakes that dared to block them along the way were easily slaughtered by the two Tier-2 experts.

Finally, these Flying Snakes scattered one after another. These Flying Snakes only thought that the two batches of humans before and after were the 'same tribe', after all, their appearance was similar.

A few minutes later.

The three Tianliang tribe experts killed their way to the bottom of the valley. When they saw the large number of Flying Snake corpses at the bottom of the valley, especially the three Tier-2 Flying Snake corpses, they all fell completely silent.

"All dead?"

"Three Tier-2 Flying Snakes, all killed?"

"This Flying Snake, judging from its body size, is at least level 24, and it was actually killed?" Delgado and Mo Li's faces changed slightly, and a trace of crisis arose in their hearts.

One of them was level 24, and the other was only level 23.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The three Tianliang tribe experts scattered and scouted towards the surroundings.

Not long after, they gathered again.

"There are traces of Soul-Nourishing Ancient Spirit Fruits, but no Soul-Nourishing Ancient Spirit Wood was found. It's uncertain whether it was just picked, or consumed by the previous Tier-2 Flying Snakes." Mo Li held a special instrument in his hand and said in a low voice.

"Soul-Nourishing Ancient Spirit Fruit is gone?" Lord Xue Shu's face became extremely ugly.

He had plotted for so long, just for the Soul-Nourishing Ancient Spirit Fruit.

"Also, I preliminarily tested it, there is likely a 'Source Crystal Mine' below this canyon." Mo Li continued.

"What?"

"Source Crystal Mine?" Delgado and Lord Xue Shu's faces changed. They knew the value of Source Crystals too well.

Source Crystal, high-energy Source Power crystal, has many uses, especially in the various Source Power weapons researched by technological civilizations; it is the energy core.

The core of Source Crystal is often called 'Marrow Crystal', and its value is even more exaggerated.

"According to my preliminary calculations, it's just a small mine." Mo Li continued: "Of course, to test accurately, we must wait for specialized instruments and personnel."

Delgado and Lord Xue Shu's faces eased slightly. A small mine? Then it wasn't that exaggerated.

"No wonder it can grow so many Blood-Vitality Source Spirit Mushrooms; there is a Source Crystal mine underground." Delgado said softly, a light in his eyes: "We must occupy this place. Once we successfully establish a base and start mining... even if it's just a small Source Crystal mine, as discoverers and initial builders, we can easily share billions or more 'Tianliang coins'."

Mo Li and Lord Xue Shu nodded, a trace of longing in their eyes.

Billions of Tianliang coins? For any Tier-2 expert, this is a huge amount of wealth.

"The biggest trouble is the Seven Stars human civilization." Mo Li said softly: "Being able to kill three Tier-2 Flying Snakes and then leave safely, without any signs of using thermal weapons... the strength of the Seven Stars human martialists is very strong. I feel they are at least stronger than us."

"Now, I am also not sure if they discovered the 'Source Crystal Mine'."

"My suggestion is to retreat first." Mo Li said: "Report to the base first, mobilize more resources and experts from the civilization, and then stabilize this place in one fell swoop."

"No." Delgado refused decisively, shaking his head: "We cannot bet that the Seven Stars human civilization are fools. If we give them time to establish a defensive system... the difficulty for us to counter-attack will be ten times higher, and the casualties cannot be estimated at all."

"You must know, this Flying Snake Valley is closer to their outpost base than us."

"Then what to do?" Mo Li said.

"We guard here and watch secretly." Delgado said solemnly: "The Seven Stars human civilization martialists are indeed strong, but their strength should only be slightly stronger than ours... otherwise they wouldn't have retreated directly after killing all the Tier-2 Flying Snakes. I even suspect their main force has suffered heavy injuries, or even Source Martialists have died, and the corpses were just taken away."

Mo Li and Lord Xue Shu nodded; Delgado's analysis also made sense.

"Then watch secretly."

Mo Li said: "Lord Xue Shu, you and I are one team, Delgado is one team, we monitor a mountain range separately."

"Then, order your subordinates to rush over as soon as possible."

"At the same time, I will write the report as soon as possible, notify the base, and apply to the civilization high command for increased support." Mo Li said: "Our mission is... once the Seven Stars human civilization experts return, we must drag them down."

Delgado and Lord Xue Shu nodded in agreement.

"Let's go, go up first."

Seven Stars human civilization, No. 3 outpost base, in that super-large conference room.

"Killed three Tier-2 Flying Snakes?"

"Including a level 25 Flying Snake?"

"Liu Jing heavily injured and unconscious?" The purple-clothed woman and Han Chong stared at this intelligence sent by Li Yuan in shock.

Far beyond their expectations.

"A level 25 alien appeared in our sphere of influence, and we didn't notice it at all before." Han Chong's voice carried a trace of anger: "What are the reconnaissance teams doing?"

The outpost base is supposed to scout 100

The outpost base is required to explore 1000 kilometers around the base all year round.

"If a Second-Rank alien is determined to hide, can those First-Rank martial artists find it?" The purple-clad woman shook her head. "This time, if it weren't for Xu An and Liu Jing going deep into the Flying Snake Valley, I'm afraid this powerful Flying Snake would not have been forced out."

"What do we do now?" Han Chong frowned.

"Execute according to the original plan; the advance troops that have already set off will continue to move forward," the purple-clad woman said softly. "I have locked onto Xu An's position; I will now lead the advance team and the medicine to find Xu An immediately."

"You're going?" Han Chong was startled. "Then wouldn't I be the only Source Martial Artist left at the base?"

"The key is that Liu Jing is already seriously injured; what do we have to compete with?" Han Chong frowned.

He already wanted to give up on the Flying Snake Valley and abandon this plan.

"It's not that we want to compete, but that we must compete." A cold glint flashed in the purple-clad woman's eyes. "Compared to Liu Jing, I am now more worried about the Flying Snake Valley."

"What's wrong with the Flying Snake Valley?" Han Chong was stunned.

"Being able to cultivate a large amount of Living Blood Source Spirit Ganoderma, and being able to give birth to so many Second-Rank Flying Snakes in such a short time... I don't believe the Flying Snake Valley has no secrets," the purple-clad woman said in a low voice. "If the Tianliang race occupies this place and establishes a base, it will only be 900 kilometers away from our outpost base. Do you think we can still coexist peacefully?"

"War will break out sooner or later; it's better to fight now."

"At the very least, we cannot let them establish a stable defense system," the purple-clad woman said.

"What about me? What should I do?" Han Chong couldn't help but ask.

"Contact the superiors and request support," the purple-clad woman said solemnly. "At the necessary moment, request support for us from Outpost Base No. 4."

"Outpost Base No. 4?" Han Chong was startled.

The Xia Nation has two outpost bases, No. 3 and No. 4, in the Mingxu Star Realm, but because they are far apart, the two major bases do not have much communication in ordinary times.

Not long after.

The purple-clad woman took a group of martial artists and boarded a flying vehicle, rushing toward the direction of Li Yuan's smart ring position.

In just over an hour, Li Yuan had already escaped over a hundred kilometers while carrying Liu Jing on his back.

Whoosh! Li Yuan's figure was agile; with one leap, he crossed a river and moved at high speed through the wild mountain forest.

Suddenly.

"Li Yuan, put me down." A full-voiced sound rang out from behind Li Yuan.

It was as if he had just woken up.

"Senior Liu?" Li Yuan was overjoyed, his mind stirring.

Chi~ Chi~ The Source Force combat suit retracted, and Liu Jing, who had been lying on Li Yuan's back, immediately dropped down and stood steadily on the grass.

"Senior, are you better?" Li Yuan turned around, his eyes lighting up, feeling that Liu Jing's aura had completely recovered.

Except for his tattered clothes, the arms, legs, and other parts that had been seriously injured before were all intact, and there was no sign of the previous injuries at all.

He even felt better than before the great battle.

Subconsciously, Li Yuan used his Divine Palace to investigate.

"【Target organism, life level is 25.6】" Li Yuan was stunned for a moment.

Level 25.6? How is he even stronger than before he was injured by a large margin?

"Not just better."

"This spirit medicine of yours even treated my hidden injuries of many years, allowing my strength to recover to its peak." Liu Jing had a smile on his face.

"Recovered to its peak?" Li Yuan's pupils shrank slightly, instantly recalling the first time he met Liu Jing.

The accompanying martial officer had once said that Liu Jing's strength had declined due to injuries.

"That's good." Li Yuan revealed a smile.

It could be considered worth the price.

"It's just that I'm sorry for you." Liu Jing sighed. "Such a miraculous medicine is probably a priceless treasure; it should have been a 'life-saving trump card' prepared for you by your teacher. I estimate you only had this one."

Although Liu Jing had always been stationed in the Star Realm, his information was relatively closed off.

But his vision was not low; he could roughly imagine the value of this medicine—one billion? Five billion?

Even ten billion Blue Star coins were possible.

"Senior was covering for me, which is why you fought a desperate battle with that Flying Snake King; otherwise, with your strength, Senior, you could have completely escaped," Li Yuan said solemnly.

Although the Source Purple Longevity Pill was precious, treasures only have value when they are used.

Li Yuan did not regret it.

"According to the plan, you were responsible for seizing the treasure, and I was responsible for the cleanup. You completed the task you were responsible for brilliantly; it was my poor planning that led to this result." Liu Jing shook his head. "The mistake I caused naturally needs to be fully compensated for; covering the retreat was the right thing to do."

"How about this."

"I cannot compensate you for such a miraculous elixir." Liu Jing looked at Li Yuan. "You take all three Soul-Nourishing Ancient Spirit Fruits."

"In addition, after we go back, I will transfer twenty billion Blue Star coins to you. I am, after all, only an intermediate Source Martial Artist; although I earn more than the average Source Martial Artist by being stationed in the Star Realm, it is still limited... don't think it's too little," Liu Jing said.

"No." Li Yuan shook his head repeatedly. "Then wouldn't you have worked for nothing, Senior?"

"I didn't work for nothing; on the contrary, I had a great harvest." Liu Jing's eyes were very bright, and he smiled. "In this battle in the Flying Snake Valley, under the life-and-death struggle, my technique broke through, and my mind has entered the 'micro' state."

"To me, this is something that ten billion Blue Star coins cannot buy."
