Chapter 197: The Harvest! The Shocked Talan Clan!
Chapter 197: The Harvest! The Shocked Talan Clan!
"Alright."
"Let's check them thoroughly." Li Yuan and Miao Wei both nodded in agreement.
They immediately split up and sprinted towards the corpses of the Blood Sentinel and Mori.
During the intense battle, after defeating their opponents, they had rushed to provide support, leaving no time to search for any spoils.
Whoosh! Li Yuan dashed towards the torn remains of the Blood Sentinel, carefully examining it.
He soon discovered that aside from the weapons, armor, and life detection devices, there wasn't much else left.
"Hmm?" Li Yuan paused for a moment, opening the sealed compartment of the inner armor on the corpse.
A peculiar fragrance wafted out.
A hint of surprise flashed through Li Yuan's eyes.
Hidden within the compartment were several pills, which Li Yuan couldn't identify... But given their secretive placement, they were likely extremely valuable.
Aside from that, Li Yuan found nothing else of worth.
He gathered all the items.
Whoosh! Li Yuan rushed back to Liu Jing, who had already stripped Delgado of his belongings.
Miao Wei also returned with Mori's possessions.
The three of them piled their spoils in the center, forming a heap of items.
"I'll take a look." Liu Jing quickly examined the loot, and upon checking the pills Li Yuan had found, he smiled, "These should be life-saving pills, but the Talan Clan's pill formulas are slightly different from ours. We'll need to inspect them to determine their effects and value."
"Two Source Power Armors, both slightly damaged, can be used after repairs."
"These weapons are also quite good, worth a considerable amount, along with these miscellaneous items... In total." Liu Jing paused for a moment, "Excluding the pills."
"Selling the rest to the Union's acquisition department should fetch around 150 million Blue Star Coins."
Li Yuan and Miao Wei nodded slightly, 150 million Blue Star Coins?
It sounded like a lot, but they had just annihilated three of the Talan Clan's strongest members.
Normally, Source Warriors are reluctant to engage in battles with opponents of the same rank due to the extreme danger involved.
High rewards come with high risks.
Most Source Warriors rarely experience such intense battles in their lifetime... If they encounter too many, their lack of strength will eventually lead to their demise in these life-or-death struggles.
"Let's divide these spoils equally among the three of us, is that okay?" Liu Jing smiled at the two of them.
"No problem."
"Agreed." Li Yuan and Miao Wei both nodded in consent. If anyone was at a disadvantage, it was Liu Jing.
"Alright, let's place these items here and mark them." Liu Jing instructed, "Then, we'll scout both sides of the Flying Snake Valley."
"When we arrived earlier, we encountered numerous Talan Clan First Rank Warriors, but we didn't engage them as we were focused on ambushing the Source Warriors."
"Now, let's eliminate them." Liu Jing shared his thoughts.
"Okay."
"Let's move."
The three powerful individuals set out again, each taking a separate path—Liu Jing on his own and Li Yuan and Miao Wei as a pair.
Maintaining a distance of about a kilometer between them, they began their sweep.
...
"Pfft!"
A spear's flash sliced through the air, and a Talan Clan warrior, desperately fleeing, fell without a chance to fight back.
"Spirit Awakening Level 30.1%?" Li Yuan glanced at the Palace Panel, "So slow."
Whoosh! Li Yuan continued on his way.
His mental power extended outward, and his perception reached an astonishing level. The Talan Clan warriors in hiding couldn't escape their detection.
Even along the way, Li Yuan occasionally encountered Flying Snakes, which he mercilessly slaughtered.
Following the plan, once the new base in the Flying Snake Valley was established, the entire Flying Snake Clan would be annihilated or, at the very least, driven away.
'Different in kind, different in mind.'
When it came to the struggle for survival, Li Yuan, having experienced the 'Fish Spirit Tide' in Jiang City, would show no mercy to other races.
...
An hour later, Li Yuan, Liu Jing, and Miao Wei had scoured the entire Flying Snake Valley, killing over 150 Talan Clan warriors, not counting the Flying Snakes.
There might be a few surviving Talan Clan warriors, but they had likely fled in panic.
The three reunited at the site of their initial battle.
"Xu An, you take these spoils back to the Forward Base," Liu Jing said, turning to Li Yuan.
"Senior, am I going back?" Li Yuan asked, taken aback.
"The Flying Snake Valley has been mostly cleared out, and the Talan Clan's advance force has been completely wiped out. Unless the Talan Clan's leadership is foolish, they will temporarily halt their operations, and there won't be any major battles for a long time," Liu Jing smiled faintly. "Our Mechanical Legion is about to arrive... We have the absolute advantage."
"Staying here won't provide you with much more growth, so it's better to return to the Forward Base first."
"First, you can bring back the spoils."
"Second, you can take some time to rest. If we need support here later, you can come back then, how about that?" Liu Jing suggested.
Li Yuan considered it for a moment and nodded, "Okay."
Li Yuan no longer refused, as he had just broken through in Spirit Power and indeed needed a good few days of quiet cultivation.
"Xu An, be careful on your journey." Miao Wei smiled, having completely changed her opinion of Li Yuan after the recent battle.
A few minutes later, Li Yuan packed his numerous spoils of war into his backpack, filling it to the brim, and quickly disappeared into the forest.
Not until Li Yuan was completely out of sight.
"Old Liu," Miao Wei said in a low voice, "You must be worried about Xu An getting involved in the upcoming war, right?"
"Mhm." Liu Jing nodded slightly. "You also inspected the instruments left behind by the Tianliang Clan's Essence Warrior, and you should have discovered the secret at the bottom of Flying Snake Valley."
"A small Source Crystal Vein." Miao Wei said solemnly.
"As of now, the Tianliang Clan has suffered heavy losses, but faced with the temptation of a Source Crystal Vein, they won't give up easily." Liu Jing said calmly, "They will definitely reorganize their forces and might even dispatch more powerful individuals from their home civilization."
"Soon, Flying Snake Valley will erupt into a major battle." Liu Jing added.
Miao Wei nodded slightly.
Both of them were well aware of the value of a Source Crystal Vein; even a small one had an astonishing total value.
Not to mention the death of just two Essence Warriors, even if twenty or thirty died, the Tianliang Clan would probably not give up the fight.
"You should have felt Xu An's innate talent." Liu Jing said, "In the upcoming war, it will be extremely dangerous for him to stay here... Letting him return is the best choice."
Miao Wei listened, as she was used to following Liu Jing's arrangements.
"By the way..."
"In the report to the base, list Xu An as the first person to discover the 'Source Crystal Vein', and you and I will be listed as the second discoverers." Liu Jing said.
"List him as the first?" Miao Wei was surprised and couldn't help but ask, "Is that enough?"
Liu Jing glanced at her, "If you're unwilling, I don't mind kicking you out of the list of discoverers."
"Understood, my report will list him as the first discoverer." Miao Wei agreed, not wanting to be left out.
As a discoverer of this small Source Crystal Vein, if a war base is successfully established in the future, one can receive an extremely high reward, at least ten billion Blue Star Coins... She didn't want to be left out.
In essence, Liu Jing was giving up his own interests for Li Yuan.
"Old Liu, why didn't you tell Xu An the truth just now?" Miao Wei asked.
"Foolish." Liu Jing shook his head, "With his intelligence, if he knew the truth, he would definitely realize that the Tianliang Clan won't give up... He most likely won't leave."
Miao Wei understood.
"Alright, quickly make the report and send it to me. I'll wait for the rest of the team to arrive." Liu Jing instructed.
"Okay, Old Liu."
...
As Li Yuan made his way to the Third Outpost Base, Liu Jing and Miao Wei began to set up a preliminary war defense system.
Over a thousand kilometers away from Flying Snake Valley.
In a rather dreamy city, the Tianliang Clan's elite were holding an emergency meeting.
In the large conference room, several light screens displayed projections, showing the scenes of Li Yuan, Liu Jing, and their battle against Delgado, Mori, and Blood Sentinel in Flying Snake Valley.
The five Second Rank Essence Warriors of the Tianliang Clan watched the light screens in silence.
After a while, the man in casual wear spoke with a slightly hoarse voice, "We've seen it all. Delgado, Mori, and Blood Sentinel are all dead. These videos were the last images transmitted by their instruments after their deaths."
The Tianliang Clan's technology was highly developed in certain aspects.
Their personal instruments recorded many things, and the owners decided whether to upload them.
But once the owner died, the instrument would transmit the last video back to the base.
Originally, there was no signal in the Flying Snake Valley area.
However, in these few days, as the Tianliang Clan sought out the valley, they set up temporary signal transmission along the way, allowing the videos to be sent back.
"Kunlun Martial University's Liu Jing, his strength is stronger than before, and his injuries have fully recovered. He seems to have achieved Mind Penetration. Any one of us, in a one-on-one fight, would probably not be his match." The man in casual wear spoke slowly.
The room fell silent.
Mind Penetration?
Although the Tianliang Clan had more Essence Warriors, they were only at the Second Rank Initial and Second Rank Intermediate stages.
Any one of them would be at a disadvantage against Liu Jing, even facing death.
"Liu Jing's breakthrough is just one aspect." The man in casual wear pointed at the young man's face on the light screen, which was none other than Li Yuan, "According to the video, various Life Detection Devices showed him to be only at level 19, which should be correct."
"But his maximum running speed exceeds 130 meters per second."
"And how did he manage to kill Blood Sentinel with a single move?" The man in casual wear spoke solemnly, "I suspect he is a hidden 'SSS Rank Genius' of the Seventh Star Human Civilization."
"We must report this immediately."
"Find out who he is."
