Chapter 834: Rescue Operation
As Lu HaiKong was engaged in a challenging rescue operation, Yue Ying presented him with a crucial lead.
Lu HaiKong's mood was far from pleasant, as the rescue mission faced significant obstacles, and his current condition wasn't ideal.
The adversaries were ruthless, causing rocks on the mountain path to become unstable. The mountain itself seemed to have been tampered with, and when the mountain flood erupted, rocks and mudslides buried the campsite, leaving it under several meters of debris. In some areas, the depth reached over ten meters.
Under these circumstances, the rescue operation became exceedingly difficult. It wasn't just the excavation that posed a challenge, but also the uncertainty of what lay beneath. Lu HaiKong couldn't risk using Dian Wei's brute force excavation, fearing it might cause casualties among the buried Blood Knights.
Due to this concern, the rescue operation had made little progress, and after half an hour, there were no significant breakthroughs.
In this situation, Lu HaiKong had no choice but to activate the Heaven's Eye Technique.
As the technique activated, Lu HaiKong's eyes immediately lit up, and the world around him transformed.
The Heaven's Eye Technique was incredibly powerful, and Lu HaiKong, who had only intended to test it, was surprised by its remarkable effectiveness. Using this skill, he could clearly see the buried Blood Knights.
However, while the Heaven's Eye Technique was powerful, it also had its drawbacks. Normally, these drawbacks wouldn't be an issue, but in this situation, they were life-threatening. Activating the technique required a considerable amount of inner power, which, at this moment, was a risky move.
Recently, Lu HaiKong's dragon pulse in his dantian had calmed down, but the massive consumption of inner power still stimulated the dragon qi.
As Lu HaiKong used the Heaven's Eye Technique, the dragon qi in his dantian began to stir, and he experienced a prickly pain like needles piercing his dantian.
Despite the pain, Lu HaiKong ignored it and continued to use the Heaven's Eye Technique to thoroughly search the original campsite area, noting the locations of the buried Blood Knights. Only then did he deactivate the technique.
At that moment, the dragon qi in Lu HaiKong's dantian was already rebelling, but he had no time to pacify it. He had to juggle using his inner power to control the dragon qi and calling Chen Ping to relay the locations he had memorized.
After a brief moment of instruction, Lu HaiKong could finally focus on suppressing the rebellious dragon qi in his dantian.
Initially, Lu HaiKong didn't think there was anything amiss, but when his consciousness returned to his dantian, his eyebrows furrowed.
In just an hour, the purple inner power in his dantian had mixed extensively with the golden dragon qi, and the two seemed to be merging.
Seeing this, Lu HaiKong's reaction wasn't one of joy but of alarm. In this situation, he made a quick decision to separate the inner power and dragon qi that had intertwined.
Then, after a long and arduous effort, he formed the intertwined inner power and dragon qi into a spherical shape and placed it in his dantian.
On the surface, Lu HaiKong seemed to have gained an inner elixir, but in reality, he had lost out, sacrificing a substantial amount of his inner power.
The intertwined inner power and dragon qi were now a delicate balance, and Lu HaiKong couldn't tell if the dominant force was the dragon qi or his inner power. This amalgamation of power was unpredictable and uncontrollable, and Lu HaiKong didn't dare attempt to refine it.
What made matters worse was that this spherical entity wasn't stable. It contained too many unstable factors, and who knew if it might suddenly explode.
With the activation of the Heaven's Eye Technique, Lu HaiKong had found the location of most of the Blood Knights, but at the cost of depleting eight layers of his inner power and planting a potential time bomb in his dantian.
Currently, Lu HaiKong's most pressing task was the rescue operation. If they could start the rescue promptly, they might be able to save at least half of the thousand Blood Knights.
Once the rescue operation was complete, Lu HaiKong intended to return to Bingzhou, temporarily choosing to suppress his anger.
He had no choice in this situation of hidden enemies and unclear allies.
Could he eliminate the Wei family? It would be simple, but Lu HaiKong didn't want to be manipulated blindly...
