Chapter 67: Human Ability Users Infiltrate the Qinling!

"Logically speaking, it shouldn't be possible for the Beasts to obtain information this quickly."

On the edge of the Dongshan District, although Jiang Luoli had already escaped from Mount Tai, her expression remained somewhat unsettled. "But whether it is the Snake King or the Black Bear King, both were able to learn about the situation within the Dongshan District so quickly and appear in time when the Nine Provinces Cauldron manifested. Could it be... that they have learned to use our technological products?"

"But this doesn't make sense either...!"

Jiang Luoli had to think this way to explain some of the changes she had encountered this time; otherwise, some of the things that happened were simply inexplicable.

Although she had already lived through one lifetime and was usually very composed when dealing with people and affairs, the current situation still left Jiang Luoli feeling shocked! As a dignified Gu Immortal, having returned through rebirth with the memories and experiences of her previous life, she could have achieved great things by relying on this ability of 'foreknowledge,' but after experiencing it, she found that her plans were repeatedly thwarted!

This left Jiang Luoli with a very complex emotion in her heart, and she even suspected that it was because of her own rebirth that many things had become somewhat different.

However, in the final analysis, the reason she found herself in this situation today was actually of her own making.

"Cannot lose heart!"

A moment later, Jiang Luoli's gaze became firm once again. Looking at the summit of Mount Tai, she whispered, "Since I have the ability to create him, I will definitely be able to subdue him!"

"Snake King, you cannot escape!"

Thinking of this, she recalled an extremely important matter. "Moreover, in some time, the world will truly undergo a great change. At that time... the world will become increasingly treacherous, and even with the experiences of my previous life, I may not be able to handle it with ease."

"Therefore... I must prepare early!"

"The Snake King is gone!"

On the summit of Mount Tai, the humans lurking behind the giant rocks were speechless at this moment, staring dumbfounded in the direction Lu Chuan had left. "The Snake King swallowed the Giant Tripod, yet its speed did not even decrease!"

"Is its stomach a treasure bag? To actually carry the item away so easily!"

"Indeed, I saw that after it swallowed the Giant Tripod, its stomach didn't even have a noticeable bulge!"

The various Ability Users recalled some of the things they had seen earlier and could not help but click their tongues in wonder.

They had seen with their own eyes that even Beasts like the Yuan Wang and the Black Bear King, who were known for their strength, appeared to struggle when lifting the Giant Tripod, and even after lifting it, they could not walk more than a few steps.

This was enough to show how heavy the Giant Tripod was! But they never expected that the Snake King would take the Giant Tripod away in such a manner!

This gave all the Ability Users a feeling of having their eyes opened, and their hearts were filled with astonishment because of it.

At the same time, at the Dongshan District base.

A group of senior officers, who were no longer young, were still discussing whether to bomb the summit of Mount Tai due to the reports coming back from the Ability User squad.

"I think we can!"

At this time, an officer said, "There are no more humans on Mount Tai. As long as we withdraw the soldiers at the foot of the mountain in advance, even if we destroy the entire Mount Tai, it is acceptable."

"As long as we can kill the Snake King, this price is well worth it!"

"But... that is Mount Tai!"

Another officer had an unpleasant expression. "What this place, Mount Tai, represents, I don't need to tell you."

"Some things are not without influence just because you don't believe in them; you all should restrain yourselves a bit."

"Besides... back then in the Qinling, the Snake King spoke human language to negotiate, but you insisted on bombing, which later provoked the Snake King's retaliation, and you fled in a sorry state."

"How long ago was that, and you've already forgotten?"

Facing the accusations of their colleagues, some senior officers' expressions gradually became ugly, but others remained unchanged. "The Snake King is a Beast! It is not of our kind, so its heart must be different!"

"Based on this alone, the Snake King deserves to die!"

Upon hearing this, the two sides almost split into two factions and began a heated debate. But just at this moment, an officer exclaimed, "Stop arguing! The Snake King has already disappeared from our monitoring range!"

"Is there any point now?"

Hearing this, the officer who advocated for the bombing gave a cold snort and sat back down heavily. "Forget it!"

"No need to discuss it anymore, unless we directly bomb Mount Tai, but is that possible?"

"The Snake King is elusive; we should increase our focus on the Snake King, only then can we avoid some trouble..."

For a time, the senior officers fell into a heated argument once again.

In Mount Tai.

After Lu Chuan left the area of the summit, he didn't think much and began hunting in the mountain.

Coming to Dongshan to search for rare treasures had taken quite a bit of time, but since the treasure was now in hand, Lu Chuan felt he couldn't return empty-handed, so he naturally had to hunt properly! Boom—

That day, in Mount Tai, a giant elk had its body below the abdomen swallowed into a large mouth; it was still struggling and roaring continuously.

But the giant snake behind it had eyes devoid of any emotion, swallowing it bit by bit.

"Ding!"

"Congratulations to the host for a successful consumption, obtained 38 points of Evolution Value!"

Following this notification sound, Lu Chuan digested the last bit of food and then looked toward another location. "This mountain is really nice; there are quite a lot of prey."

"However, I've been out for so long, it's time to go back, right?"

For the next period of time, Lu Chuan continued to consume in Mount Tai until the speed of digestion could not keep up with the speed of consumption and he felt full, only then did he return to his lair in the Qinling.

"Boss, you're back!"

Xiaoqing, Jingang, and a group of Beast subordinates came to welcome him one after another. Xiao Wu even crawled out from the ground and reported earnestly, "Boss, according to your requirements, the Underground Palace has already taken initial shape, located several hundred meters underground."

"You can enter through the excavated path."

"Mm."

Lu Chuan learned about the situation of this Underground Palace and was very satisfied to know it was several hundred meters underground; after all, this depth was enough to offset the threats posed by human weapons.

"Boss, there are also Spirit Fruit being sent over soon."

"And the prey we hunted!"

Huitailang and the other subordinates presented the Spirit Fruit and prey they had accumulated during this time, which allowed Lu Chuan to have another full meal while accumulating quite a few Evolution Value points.

Seeing that his Evolution Value was substantial, he directly consumed five thousand points and instantly broke through to the fourth stage of the Shackle Realm.

At this moment, Lu Chuan glanced at the information panel, feeling slightly stifled, "To break through to the fifth stage, I still need six thousand Evolution Points?"

"Looks like I'll have to save up for a while again..."

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Just at this moment, an airplane arrived in the sky above the outskirts of the Qinling.

After this airplane slowed down nearby, a young man jumped directly from a height of one hundred meters, and his figure quickly vanished from sight...
