Chapter 934: Leo's Fury! Wait a Little Longer!

The gravity on the seventh floor of the Void-Breaking Tower is three times that of Blue Star.

Correspondingly, the density of the soil is also far greater than that of Blue Star.

Not to mention that the seventh floor of the Void-Breaking Tower is a world of ice and snow, with the ground covered by a thick layer of ice.

This makes the ground even harder and more solid.

An ordinary second-rank ability user can't even break open the ground.

But for Leo and these several ninth-rank powerhouses, this is no problem at all.

In just a few short minutes, the entire area of over a hundred square kilometers had been excavated to a little over half its area.

Some of the excavated pits were even dozens of meters deep.

"Warren, how many void stones have you dug up over there?"

Swoosh—

Leo collected the nearby void stones into his spatial ring, flew up from underground, and asked via spiritual transmission.

"60,000," Warren replied.

"Demi, what about your side?"

"70,000," Demi, the only middle-aged woman among the three, replied.

"I have 100,000 here. All three of us combined only have 230,000 in total."

Leo frowned. "Warren, what's going on? Does this area really have a million void stones?"

230,000 void stones in a few minutes.

If this were before, it would absolutely be an extremely terrifying efficiency.

But this area originally had a large number of void stones, and they had already excavated more than half the area.

There should have been at least 500,000 void stones no matter how you look at it, yet now they're off by more than half!

"It might be that my spiritual perception has a problem."

Warren, the only Law Saint among the three, replied hesitantly: "The void stones excavated from certain areas weren't as many as I had imagined."

"Your spiritual perception has a problem?"

Leo's eyelids lifted as he looked at Warren: "You're a ninth-rank Law Saint, the ability user with the strongest spiritual force among the three of us.

And now you're telling me your spiritual perception has a problem? Then tell me, how are we supposed to trust you going forward?"

Leo did not release the aura belonging to a peak ninth-rank, but facing Leo's gaze,

Warren was still covered in fine sweat on his forehead, cold sweat streaming down his whole body, and hurriedly explained:

"I don't know what's going on either.

The underground area I sensed before clearly should have had void stones.

But after digging there, I found it was just glacial soil..."

"You don't know what's going on either?"

Leo's face was full of disappointment.

This time, their Lei Ding family had arranged a total of six ninth-rank powerhouses to come in.

Apart from the three of them, there was another three-person ninth-rank squad.

The leader over there was only a ninth-rank upper Wu Sheng.

So he had arranged the slightly stronger ninth-rank middle Law Saint to the other squad, keeping Warren by his side.

But he hadn't expected this Warren to be so unreliable.

"Forget it, let's leave it at that. Be more careful next time.

If such a low-level mistake happens again, when we get back, I will truthfully report your performance to the clan leader.

They still had to continue cooperating afterward, so Leo didn't press the matter further, only giving him a simple warning.

"Understood!" Warren wiped the fine sweat from his forehead and hurriedly nodded.

At the same time, he felt some doubt in his heart.

As a ninth-rank Law Saint, his spiritual perception shouldn't have any problems.

And it was sensing an inanimate object, no less.

To actually have an inaccurate sensing situation was indeed a low-level mistake.

Of course, there was another possibility.

That was that a powerhouse with stronger spiritual force than him was playing tricks, creating the illusion of a spiritual perception error for him.

In reality, he hadn't sensed incorrectly; the void stones originally left there had just been taken away.

But my lord Leo is a peak ninth-rank powerhouse.

Which ability user would dare play tricks right under his nose?

Thinking of this, Warren suspected even more that his own perception had a problem.

But to be safe, he still activated a perception-type combat technique, preparing to scan once more.

Whoosh—

A massive surge of spiritual force erupted wildly around Warren, plunging a hundred meters beneath the ground.

This time, he was more careful than before, yet still found nothing abnormal.

Suddenly—

A patch of void stones he had originally sensed abruptly vanished!

"Not good!"

Warren's pupils contracted, and he hurriedly shouted loudly, "my lord! There's someone underground!"

"Dare to steal void stones right under my nose? Seeking death!"

Leo paused, then erupted in furious rage.

Boom!!

The aura of a ninth-rank peak Wu Sheng exploded violently as he activated his ability.

His body twisted violently, and in an instant he transformed into a five-meter-tall humanoid giant ape!

"Die! Rage Slash!"

Crimson blood condensed into a six-meter-long great blade, and Leo slashed down toward the direction locked by Warren's spiritual force!

Boom—rumble~~~

The hard ice plain was carved into a chasm-like gash, plunging deep into the earth!

Pfft—

Green sap splattered everywhere as one of the Iron Vine's tendrils was severed!

"Master, they've spotted me!"

The Iron Vine's voice echoed in Xu Jingming's mind.

"Good, retract all your tendrils immediately and flee."

Xu Jingming hurriedly ordered.

The Iron Vine had created over a dozen fake outposts using its tendrils.

Even a ninth-rank peak Wu Sheng would have to inspect each one individually to tell true from false.

"Understood, Master."

As soon as the words ended, the Iron Vine retracted all its vines at once.

Instantly, the entire ice plain trembled.

"It's a plant lifeform!"

Leo's face darkened with malice as he bellowed: "Warren, come with me! Dami, stay here!"

With that, Leo's crimson blood surged wildly, turning into a streak of light as he carried Warren off in the direction from which the Iron Vine's tendrils had retracted.

The entire area was now left only with Dami, the ninth-rank mid-level Wu Sheng.

"Plant lifeform—its aura suggests it's around ninth rank."

"How dare such weaklings provoke Lord Leo? They have no idea how they'll die."

Shaking her head, Dami withdrew her gaze and prepared to resume collecting Void Stones.

Without Warren, she could no longer pinpoint the exact locations of these Void Stones beneath the ground.

Still, she could vaguely sense them—just with slightly reduced collection efficiency.

Meanwhile, a hundred meters underground, about five kilometers from this area.

Xu Jingming and Su Qingli hid within a cramped underground chamber.

"Jingming, Leo has gone after the Iron Vine—what do we do now?"

Su Qingli asked, puzzled.

They had already hidden here before the Iron Vine even moved.

But Xu Jingming had never revealed his purpose, so she had simply waited.

At this distance, her spiritual force had already identified the ninth-rank peak as Leo of the Lei family.

"Don't rush—wait until he flies farther away."

Xu Jingming whispered.

To avoid detection by Leo and the others,

the underground chamber he dug was small; the two stood shoulder to shoulder, slightly cramped.

He could even clearly smell the faint, clean fragrance emanating from Su Qingli.

His goal was simple: after Leo left, he and Su Qingli would continue stealing Void Stones together!

After all, they'd come this far—how could they leave without taking more?
