Chapter 1146: Quan-Song's Group Who Fleeing Death
Because everything had value, Zheng-Fu refused to let anything slip away. Therefore, he immediately sucked that green orb into his secret dimensional space. He then stored the remaining corpses in an empty dimensional ring so that he could more easily sort out the important parts.
"Aside from the corpses, is there anything else that is valuable?" With no more corpses left to collect, Zheng-Fu continued to look for other valuables.
Suddenly, he discovered a secret underground chamber beneath the large chair where Protector Ventus used to sit. In order not to miss a single treasure, Zheng-Fu walked over and opened the secret chamber door to see what was inside.
Wow!
As soon as he opened the door, Zheng-Fu found that inside there were a large number of Eternal Coins piled up. And besides the money, there were many other treasures placed together.
Collect them all!
Collect! Collect! Collect!
Zheng-Fu felt a little better after getting those treasures. At least he got hundreds of millions of Eternal Coins. Not including the other treasures, if he sold them, he would definitely get hundreds of millions more. That made the previous dissatisfaction disappear completely.
"There probably isn't anything else in this room for me to collect. It's better to explore other places!"
After checking again and finding nothing more to collect, Zheng-Fu left Ventus Hall and continued to go to the other rooms. He believed that there was definitely not just that one hall in this tomb. Because he sensed that there were other strong identities hidden.
Returning to the deepest main hall of the Blood Tomb...
"What are you saying?! Ventus is dead?"
"Yes! I can't feel his energy at all. And that human was still safe and was descending even further. If I guessed correctly, he should be close to your Ignis Hall!" Protector Terra immediately replied to his comrade with a serious expression.
"It was because Ventus acted thoughtlessly that he met his end like this. But it's good that he died first. If he survives and lets that human come deeper, he won't escape the Master's punishment anyway! And now, who will go out and deal with him? Or will we go out together?" Protector Aqua normally did not like Protector Ventus, so he aggravated him. Before he asked the others' opinions on who would go out and deal with the enemy next.
"It's strange that you asked our opinion. Before this, you still wanted to work alone, didn't you? Why don't you go out and handle it yourself? We're willing to make way for you if you wish. Or are you afraid?" Protector Ignis was surprised that Protector Aqua said such a thing. He usually wanted to create his own work. But this time he acted like he was afraid.
"Who said I was afraid? I just don't want to disappoint Master. Moreover, the fact that the enemy was able to single-handedly take out Ventus and his underlings shows how strong he is. If we keep arguing like this, it won't be good. But if you think it's better to act separately, then I'll go out and deal with that human on my own!"
Protector Aqua's expression became displeased upon hearing Protector Ignis' insult. He was not afraid. He just had to be careful and consider the results. But if Protector Ignis and Protector Terra did not cooperate with him, he would act by himself.
Huh!
"I think we should cooperate. Even if the enemy only comes alone, his abilities are very high. In general, it would be very difficult to take out Ventus and all his underlings without a force consisting of dozens of Six-Star Hunters, but he could do it alone. So we should be careful. Now that human is approaching Ignis Hall. We should all go there to greet him and deal with him!"
After Protector Terra thought it through, he chose to work with the other two protectors. Although each protector had an equal number of underlings, each side had different expertise. He was good at defense. Protector Ignis specialized in direct attacks. Protector Aqua was good at support. And Protector Ventus was good at confusing enemies. But since Protector Ventus was dead, they were left with only defense, attack, and support experts.
"If you hold that opinion, then we should take it accordingly. Since the human was heading to Ignis Hall, let Ignis take the lead in capturing him, with Terra blocking his escape. And I'll support you two!" Protector Aqua nodded lightly, satisfied with Protector Terra's plan.
Since the main battlefield was Ignis Hall, which was allergic to the aqua element, if he were to lead the attack, Ignis Hall's advantage of strengthening those with fire elements would be wasted. Therefore, he could not be a leader. As for the path-blocking function, Protector Terra's earth element was an advantage because his subordinates were able to build tens of layers of thick earthen walls to block the entrance and exit. By receiving water from him, ordinary soil would become clay that was both durable and pliable.
All right!
In a dense forest filled with many trees, hundreds of li away from Blood Tomb…
Huff huff huff!!!
Hurry, run! Hurry!
"I'm running! Do you see me walking?"
"It's too slow! If we're slow like this, it won't be long before that bastard will catch up with us!"
Groaaaan!!!
Thump! Thump! Thump!
It's following!
The members of Quan-Song's team all shouted. The mission they accepted was the Yellow Five-Star Mission. It was the hunt for a spirit monster beast that caused the balance of the outer Sun Moon Forest to change. And they received details that the spirit monster beast only had an energy level at the first or second level of the Deity Monarch Stage. But when they actually encountered it, its energy level was much higher than what had been reported.
The result was that they had to flee for their lives in such a grueling and deadly way. No matter how far they ran, that spirit monster beast would never relent in its pursuit of them. And as time passed, it became more and more ferocious. It was as if they had done something to make it so angry.
"Didn't I tell you not to throw that damn thing at it, Shen-Yin? If you didn't do that, it wouldn't be so angry and crazy!" a young woman said, displeased, while staring at Shen-Yin. The reason why the spirit monster beast was chasing them so fiercely was because the young man had thrown something at it.
"I already apologize! Who knew it wouldn't work and even drive that idiot crazy like this? When I bought it, the seller said it had the power to make spirit monster beasts unconscious or lose their intelligence. So, I used it on that one. Who would have thought that it would be like that when its intelligence decreased!"
Shen-Yin really did not think that his actions would trigger such a thing. He had apologized to everyone many times and tried his best to find a way to help. But no matter what he tried, it did not work at all and only made that spirit monster beast even angrier than before.
"Come on! Arguing right now won't help anything. We'd better figure out how to shake that shit off. Because if we keep running like this, soon we'll… enter Blood Tomb territory!"
Blood Tomb?!
Quan-Song's words made everyone's eyes widen. They had been there once before when they were four-star hunters. And luckily, that time, there were many groups of hunters coming to do the mission as well. So, they were able to escape death.
"Hurriedly change direction! Change now! I'll never go to that tomb!" Shen-Yin, who was hardly afraid of anything, was now even more terrified than when they were chased by the spirit monster beast. At that moment, he would rather turn around and fight it than enter the Blood Tomb.
"True! We need to change direction immediately!" Hei-Ying-Qi, a young woman on the team, also thought the same way. Because in the past, she was closest to death. And the images from that day still linger in her mind and never fade away.
However, Quan-Song suddenly said, "Not in time! We have entered Blood Tomb territory!"
Because the Blood Tomb had been abandoned for so long, the grass had grown tall and many trees had grown to obscure parts of the area, making them not know when they had entered the Blood Tomb's territory. It was not until they reached an open area with the coffins with name tags. And Quan-Song was the first to see and know.
Groooaaan!!!
At the same time, the spirit monster beast that was chasing after them suddenly stopped before reaching the Blood Tomb boundary. It did not dare step in there. It could only let out an angry roar and wander around the outer area.
It doesn't follow?!
"Of course! Even its reduced intelligence knows how dangerous this place is. And how did humans like us with complete and higher intelligence dare to enter here?!" another young woman in the team named Feng-Qiao said angrily at herself for being foolish enough to wander in there. She had always tried to be careful but still failed. Because she was so busy thinking about escaping from the spirit monster beast, she stumbled into such a dangerous place.
"Everyone, look at that!"
Hah!?
Suddenly, another young man who was usually silent spoke up and pointed to something on the ground not too far from them.
"What else should we look at, Lao-Dou? Or do you see someone who is going to help us?" Feng-Qing, Feng-Qiao's elder brother, who was standing next to his younger sister, asked with a tense expression.
"No, I don't see anyone. But I see human footprints there. And it looks like it's still new!" Lao-Dou shook his head and told the others what he saw. He was a tracking expert and was the best at tactical formation on the team. And because of his abilities, the team could hunt with efficiency and precision.
Hah!?
Human footprints!?
Everyone immediately frowned upon hearing that. Because that area was a place that everyone wanted to escape from. But there were still new human footprints. From what they remembered, Blood Tomb was the location for the previous Red Five-Star Mission, which was recently upgraded to the Red Six-Star Mission. And the person they met earlier told them that he accepted that mission
Or is it him?!!
