Chapter 286: Underground

"Full-Time Hunter Record, Volume 1, Chapter 289: Underground. 'How can there be none?' Brother Zhuge Tianxin extended his sensing power over the drunken area but still failed to detect the guardian beast, leaving Brother Zhuge Tianxin utterly incredulous.

'Tianxin boy, what's wrong? Have you found the guardian beast? What is its strength?' Seeing Brother Zhuge Tianxin react for a long time without speaking, he asked anxiously.

'I haven't found the guardian beast, but I cannot guarantee there isn't one. It is possible the guardian beast's level is too high, hiding its aura, so I cannot sense it,' Brother Zhuge Tianxin said. After speaking, still somewhat disbelieving, he activated his sensing power again but found nothing, so he could only give up, yet still thought, 'It seems there really is no guardian beast.'

'No guardian beast, hahaha, no guardian beast! We are so lucky to have encountered a Spirit-Grade medicinal herb without a guardian beast! Little Xiao Xunzi, hurry, let's go pluck this Seven-Colored Roland, then check the surroundings for other heavenly treasures. With so many flowers and plants here, there must be more heavenly treasures. If we find another Spirit-Grade herb, we'll be rich, hahaha!' Hearing Brother Zhuge Tianxin say he found no guardian beast, Visde Kai was extremely excited and immediately shouted at Brother Zhuge Xun. Visde Kai was not stupid; this place held not only their group but also Arthur Leyton and others. If they didn't act quickly, Arthur Leyton and the others would snatch the opportunity, and they would regret it, after all, that was the Spirit-Grade herb, Seven-Colored Roland. Of course, Visde Kai was not a fool either; although Brother Zhuge Tianxin said there was no guardian beast, for safety's sake, he still called on Brother Zhuge Xun.

'Let me go with you. I will be in front, you behind. If anything happens, I will try to hold them off while you attack from behind, striving for a one-shot kill.' Brother Zhuge Tianxin still felt uneasy, sensing something was wrong somewhere but unable to pinpoint it. So, for safety's sake, Brother Zhuge Tianxin decided to go with Visde Kai and Brother Zhuge Xun, and also collect the other heavenly treasures his sensing power had detected earlier.

'Hahaha, Tianxin boy, you are truly loyal. Let's go collect that Spirit-Grade herb now.' Hearing Brother Zhuge Tianxin's words, Visde Kai immediately said excitedly. Without another word, he walked toward Brother Zhuge Tianxin, grabbed him, and headed straight for the Seven-Colored Roland, constantly talking about whether to exchange the Seven-Colored Roland for other heavenly treasures or sell it directly for money to live like a rich man.

'Little Xiao Xunzi, hurry up and follow. Everyone else, get ready just in case.' Brother Zhuge Tianxin was speechless; whenever he saw a benefit, Visde Kai was like a pervert seeing a naked beauty, eyes glowing green, rushing faster than anyone else.

'Ye Ling, Yue Ling, Leng Ling, Guang Ling, Qi Ling, An Ling.' Ye Ye Qingyu whispered softly. The power of the Demon Spirits fluctuated gently as she merged with the six Demon Spirits.

Magical fluctuations appeared. Thunder-element and Fire-element energies gathered wildly around Nangong Miss Mengli, gradually forming a Thunder Magic Ball and a Fire-element Magic Ball in Nangong Miss Mengli's hands.

Mental fluctuations occurred. Gu Qian had already wrapped herself in a Qi Shield and donned a pair of full gauntlets. She planted her horse stance firmly, also ready for battle.

On the other side, Sharina had already donned her Mechanical Armor. A suit of deep-blue soft iron armor radiated a deep-blue glow like the deep sea, noble and solemn. It was clearly high-grade equipment, far superior to the Mechanical Armor on Visde Kai's body by hundreds of streets. Indeed, she was the daughter of the City Lord of Vis City.

Finally, Arthur Leyton and the others also put on their Mechanical Armor and prepared their weapons. Qing Feng even merged directly with his summoned beast, standing in front of Lilina.

'Alright, you are a Gunner, so stay here. Little Xiao Xunzi and I will go over.' Arriving about ten meters from the Seven-Colored Roland, Brother Zhuge Tianxin said to Visde Kai.

'Tianxin boy, you forgot. I have learned Gunner Combat Arts and am no longer an ordinary Gunner. Besides...' Hearing Brother Zhuge Tianxin's words, Visde Kai immediately replied.

'You are still a Gunner. Although you now have the protection of Mechanical Armor and have learned Gunner Combat Arts, the time spent is short. Although you have reached a small mastery, your skill level is certainly not yet perfect. Although you could withstand Gao Jie Xi's attacks before, this time you may face a Rank Rank Yizhe of the third tier, or even a Spirit User. Your close-combat awareness will definitely not keep up then, so it is better for you to stay behind,' Brother Zhuge Tianxin said.

'Alright, be careful.' Visde Kai also knew his own limits. After all, they might face a Spirit User this time, and his half-baked close-combat Gunner awareness would definitely not keep up, so staying behind was better.

After Visde Kai stayed behind, Brother Zhuge Tianxin and Brother Zhuge Xun continued forward. As the distance closed, Brother Zhuge Tianxin felt increasingly uneasy. So all the way, Brother Zhuge Tianxin used his sensing power to detect the presence of the guardian beast.

'Why is there still nothing? Could it be that there really is no guardian beast?' Brother Zhuge Tianxin's sensing power had covered a thousand-meter radius around the Seven-Colored Roland. Within this range, not to mention a demon beast, even a single blade of grass Brother Zhuge Tianxin could sense clearly, yet he still found no trace of the guardian beast. This made Brother Zhuge Tianxin even more uneasy, slowing his footsteps and pulling Brother Zhuge Xun to stop him from advancing further.

'You stop here. I will go forward alone from now on.' Brother Zhuge Tianxin said to Brother Zhuge Xun.

'Be careful.' Brother Zhuge Xun said no more and stayed in place.

Brother Zhuge Tianxin continued forward, entering within three meters of the Seven-Colored Roland. All the way, he released his sensing power, yet still found no trace of the guardian beast.

Continuing forward, Brother Zhuge Tianxin entered within half a meter of the Seven-Colored Roland. With just a reach, he could grab the Seven-Colored Roland in his hand.

Releasing his sensing power again, after investigation, he still found no trace of the guardian beast. Brother Zhuge Tianxin no longer hesitated and quickly reached out his hand toward the Seven-Colored Roland.

Boom~~~~~! Just as Brother Zhuge Tianxin's hand was about to grasp the Seven-Colored Roland, the ground suddenly exploded with a boom. From underground, a hand shot out, thrusting directly at Brother Zhuge Tianxin, who was reaching out to pluck the Seven-Colored Roland.

Brother Zhuge Tianxin was greatly alarmed, immediately thinking in his heart, 'I was careless. The guardian beast is underground.'
