Heavenly King Descending: Volume 4

By Du AiQingTian

In the vast expanse of the Azure Sky Prairie, the sky was covered in a haze. The biting cold gale swept through the entire prairie, causing layers of grass to turn over, causing people to be unable to open their eyes.

Dark clouds also accumulated in the sky, and the clouds intersected and overlapped with each other. A thunderstorm that covered the entire prairie was about to arrive. Such weather was extremely rare in this famously sunny prairie.

CHAPTER 301 - GOBLIN(1)

Zhuge, how can you be so sure? Lu Yuan seemed to be born to be at odds with Zhuge Ming. His scars from the day were not completely healed, and now he was picking on Zhuge Ming's thorn.

But this time, it's not Zhuge Ming who answered him, but rather Iron Bro Liu Qi: Lu Yuan, Brother Zhuge is right. Look at this little path, isn't it pretty smooth?

En! Lu Yuan nodded.

Logically speaking, the Cold Desert Mountain is filled with dense mountain rocks, why would there be such a smooth path? The only explanation was that they were often trampled by ferocious beasts, and these beasts were quite large in weight. This was one of the reasons why they were able to create such a smooth road. Second, take a look at the blurry beast footprints on the road. I have read about Earth Armored Beast s before, their footprints have a special place, it is that they have five toes, and three in front and two behind. This was very different from the normal hooves and fierce beasts. It was also different from the toe layout of the strange hooves and fierce beasts. From these footprints, Brother Zhuge determined that the beast that came here was a Earth Armored Beast. Furthermore, the only beast that left footprints on the trail were the Earth Armored Beast, not other beasts. In conclusion, Brother Zhuge concluded that this is the Earth Armored Beast's lair.

Zhuge Ming listened to Liu Qi's analysis quietly and nodded slightly. Only then did Lu Yuan and the rest realize what had happened. They could not help but admire Zhuge Ming and Liu Qi's observation skills.

When everyone came to their senses, Zhuge Ming said, During the day, we saw a group of Earth Armored Beast leave their nest to find food. According to the living habits of the Earth Armored Beast, it would take at least three days to find food. Because they were social beasts, they had to find enough food to feed the entire clan for a period of time. This was not something that could be done in a day. So tonight, the Earth Armored Beast will definitely not return, so our troubles will not be too great.

Lu Yuan became well-behaved this time. He raised his hand and received Zhuge Ming's approval before asking, Zhuge, according to what you said, since the Earth Armored Beast have left, we should be safe. Why are there any more troubles?

His words attracted everyone's attention. However, what everyone was looking at was not admiration, but rather playfulness. Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment and then understood what was going on. He slapped his thigh and angrily said, My pig's head. Since they are in a group, there must be a little Earth Armored Beast, adding the fact that there are definitely still Earth Armored Beast guarding the lair, of course there will be more trouble.

Ha ha! The other eight people finally reacted when they saw him, letting out a burst of good-natured roars of laughter.

Since that's the case, why does Brother Zhuge insist that we enter the valley for the night? We are not clear about the number of Earth Armored Beast left behind, but once we go in, it will not be easy to deal with them! It was Liu Qi's question that caught everyone's attention. Everyone's eyes fell on Zhuge Ming's face once again.

Zhuge Ming nodded and explained: There are two reasons why I want everyone to stay the night. Firstly, although Earth Armored Beast lived in groups, they had poor reproductive ability. This also caused them to be in an awkward situation where they were on the verge of extinction. The proportion of small Earth Armored Beast in each group of Earth Armored Beast that had no self-care capabilities was only two to three percent. If one were to count the number of Earth Armored Beast groups they had seen during the day, the number of small Earth Armored Beast s in the den would definitely not exceed four. The second reason would be to try my luck.

Everyone could understand the first reason Zhuge Ming said. But the second one confused everyone. Why did they have to try their luck by going to a lair?

Zhuge Ming paused to let the crowd digest what he had said. He didn't intentionally keep them in suspense, and continued, I also read about this so-called lucky chance in the ancient books. According to the books, Earth Armored Beast's lairs were usually built in places where the essence of the underground was gathered. It could help both the tribe grow and help with cultivation. After years of accumulation, these underground essences have nurtured a Natural Treasures called Earth Spirit Essence. Due to its physiological structure, these Earth Spirit Essence are considered trash to ferocious beasts, but they are truly rare treasures to us humans. After consuming them, our internal energy can rise by a few levels. Of course, this also varied from person to person, but improvement was inevitable. This time, everyone should be able to understand the meaning of 'try my luck', because I am not sure about the age of forming the Earth Armored Beast's lair, so I do not dare to determine whether or not there are Earth Spirit Essence s, but, we should be able to enter and take a look at the treasures right now!

Upon hearing that there was a treasure, the eyes of the Golden Commando s, who had been struggling to keep up with Liu Qi's pace of cultivation all along, lit up. The impatient Cai Yifeng and Lu Yuan did not say anything else and urged everyone to leave quickly.

Liu Qi laughed and took the lead.

He followed the path to the mouth of the valley and hid behind a large rock. Liu Qi urged everyone to stay alert and stay on standby while he explored the road by himself.

Considering the small number of Earth Armored Beast in the valley, Zhuge Ming did not stop Liu Qi. Only Xia Qi, the real girlfriend, had a worried look on her face.

The sky was dark, and the only sound that could be heard was the buzzing of insects. Liu Qi carefully hid himself along the way and slowly crept towards the nearest cave at the bottom of the hill.

Liu Qi, who wasn't prepared for it, could not help but vomit. He quickly sealed his mouth to prevent the sound of the Earth Armored Beast from disturbing it.

Judging from the smell, the cave did have Earth Armored Beast, but he did not know if they were still inside. Liu Qi carefully walked into the cave. He secretly performed his Soaring Mist technique, causing his feet to almost float above the ground. No sound of footsteps came out.

There was no light in the cave. If it wasn't for Liu Qi's amazing cultivation and amazing eyesight, he might have bumped into a protruding mountain rock. The originally three meter wide cave suddenly opened up. Standing at the enlarged cave entrance, Liu Qi looked inside and did not find any traces of Earth Armored Beast.

He secretly let out a breath of relief and revealed his body to wander around in the thirty meter long cave. Other than the Earth Armored Beast's feces, Liu Qi did not find anything of value.

It took more than ten minutes to complete the first exploration of the cave. Liu Qi walked out of the cave and carefully headed towards the second cave.

The second cave was extremely similar to the first, there were no Earth Armored Beast nor were there any auras of Natural Treasures. He repeated this process again and again for more than an hour. Liu Qi had already investigated six caves but still failed to find anything.

Now, there were only three caves to the west that he did not check out. Liu Qi was not discouraged and headed towards the seventh cave again.

However, unlike the other six caves, this one didn't have any ambrosia to it, nor did it have the stench of feces. Liu Qi was happy and slowly snuck in.

The front part of the cave was the same as the others. It was only three meters wide and two meters tall. Liu Qi, who had grown to 1.8 meters, felt a little depressed walking in there.

About ten meters ahead, the cave suddenly made a left turn, causing Liu Qi to almost crash into the mountain wall. Liu Qi turned around and was about to step forward when he heard a few faint cries coming from the depths of the cave.

CHAPTER 302 - GOBLIN(2)

Liu Qi's heart went cold, he never thought that there would be a Earth Armored Beast living in this cave. However, from the helplessness and weakness in her voice, she must have been Zhuge Ming's judgement.

With that in mind, Liu Qi stopped his footsteps and waited quietly for two minutes. After confirming that there were no other noises coming from the cave, he started again. The main thing he wanted to confirm was whether or not there were any adult Earth Armored Beast left to guard the place. With his strength, it was more than enough to deal with a few young Earth Armored Beast.

After about ten meters, the cave turned right again. This time, Liu Qi was mentally prepared and followed the turn without stopping. After another ten meters, the sounds coming from deep inside the cave became louder and louder. Liu Qi knew that they were about to reach the bottom of the cave.

Sure enough, the ringing sound of a distance of less than twenty meters could be heard clearly. The sound reverberated through the entire cave, giving it a deafening feeling. At the same time, Liu Qi also smelled a strange fragrance. His tense nerves loosened up a bit and the originally calm Internal Force Sea in his dantian began to ripple, as if something had attracted it.

That's right! This is the aura of a spirit object! " Liu Qi was overjoyed. With a flash, he rushed out of the cave.

After confirming once again, Liu Qi found that there were only young Earth Armored Beast in the cave. Therefore, he chose to leave first. He didn't want to alert the enemy, so he first went to find the mature Earth Armored Beast and combined his power with the rest to subdue it. Only then would he be able to unearth the spiritual item in peace.

It turned out that Liu Qi was right. Before he could find his way out of the cave, he heard two furious roars, and then the ground began to rumble.

Liu Qi shouted, Not good! With a random reaction, he turned his body and kicked the cave wall, his figure leaping into the air, and with a flip of his body, he sent two three-meter-long adult Earth Armored Beast s sprinting forward.

Landing on the ground and turning around, Liu Qi wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, and looked at the two Earth Armored Beast s who were still in shock. When the Earth Armored Beast failed to hit him, it became even more furious. It roared loudly and the sound shook the night sky, attracting Zhuge Ming and the other three, who were hiding far away.

The Earth Armored Beast's huge body turned around, the horn on its head shone coldly in the dark environment, its two pair of blood-red eyes stared straight at the intruder more than ten meters away. His breath came in ragged gasps as one of his front hooves dug into the ground.

Only two? Zhuge Ming ran to Liu Qi's side and asked.

Liu Qi shook his head and replied softly, I'm not sure. I just came out of the cave and met the attacks of these two Earth Armored Beast. I'm not sure if there are any other mature Earth Armored Beast. He pointed to the last cave he had explored.

However, there are a few little Earth Armored Beast in the cave, and I also sensed their auras! From my estimation, these two Earth Armored Beast came back to take care of the little Earth Armored Beast in the cave. Coincidentally, I flashed out and was attacked as an intruder.

Zhuge Ming nodded slightly and observed the Earth Armored Beast in front of him. He replied: If that's really the case, then there should be only these two mature Earth Armored Beast. Everyone be careful, even if there are two, it will not be easy to deal with them. After all, they are the ferocious beasts at the peak of Heaven Martial Cultivator.

Alright! Everyone answered in unison. One by one, they drew out their weapons and scattered in all directions, occupying the terrain that was most advantageous for them. This was the battle instinct of Golden Assault Team.

Since the Earth Armored Beast had discovered them, this battle was unavoidable. The ferocious beasts were not humans, they would not believe that they had come to look for the Earth Spirit Essence, and had no ill intentions towards them.

After Liu Qi warned Zhuge Ming to be careful, he rushed towards the two Earth Armored Beast first. Xia Qi who was standing at the back understood tacitly. Four rays of light appeared on the Crow Fallen Bow, and the four Falling Crow Divine Arrow then directly shot towards the eyes of the Earth Armored Beast.

No matter how strong the Earth Armored Beast's defense was, the eyes were still a weakness. Furthermore, in order to quickly settle the battle, Xia Qi didn't hesitate to use the Falling Crow Divine Arrow, which also had a powerful piercing ability.

Seeing that there were a lot of enemies charging in, the furious Earth Armored Beast hesitated for a moment before fearlessly rushing towards Liu Qi, but it did not expect that the four arrows would suddenly come out from the darkness. Without enough time to react, the Earth Armored Beast immediately drooped its eyelids and continued to rush forward, preparing to rely on the defensive power of its eyelids to defend against the Falling Crow Divine Arrow.

Ding ding ding ding! A series of crisp sounds came out from all four directions. The Earth Armored Beast that was running let out two cries of pain, its body that was rushing forward suddenly stopped, and shook its huge head with all its might.

Great! The members behind him cheered in unison, thinking that the two Earth Armored Beast were blind. Only Zhuge Ming was able to see it clearly. Although it was weak, its cultivation was still there. When the four sounds came out just now, the Falling Crow Divine Arrow was clearly blocked in its surroundings and did not pierce through the defense of the Earth Armored Beast's eyelids.

They're not blind, everyone be careful! Zhuge Ming issued a warning that brought everyone back to reality. All of them secretly cursed the abnormal defensive power of Earth Armored Beast, which was something that even Divine Weapons could not do anything against.

In fact, this couldn't be blamed as a godly weapon. If Xia Qi was at Liu Qi's level of cultivation, that arrow just now would definitely have blinded Earth Armored Beast and killed them with one arrow.

However, even though Xia Qi's Falling Crow Divine Arrow did not truly injure the Earth Armored Beast, they still felt a golden light shining in their eyes, and a piercing pain spread from their eyes to their entire heads.

Liu Qi would never let go of such a good opportunity. The Ice Soul Cold Chop drew a bright white arc in the night sky, and slashed two Earth Armored Beast's forelimbs that were close to the ground at around 30 cm.

Pu! Ao! Ice Soul Cold Chop, which had the strongest single target, swept across the legs of the Earth Armored Beast. The defense of its scales only lasted for two seconds before they lost its effect.

The Ice Soul Cold Chop was not exhausted yet, so it continued to cut off the right front hoof of the first Earth Armored Beast, completely crippling it. He then swept towards the second Earth Armored Beast's left front paw.

Hearing its companion's howl, the Earth Armored Beast that had yet to open its eyes seemed to have sensed it, and with a nimble speed that did not correspond to its size, it jumped backwards to avoid the attack of the Ice Soul Cold Chop.

Liu Qi sighed, his hands did not stop as he arrived in front of the Earth Armored Beast. Both of his palms struck out quickly, before the Earth Armored Beast could lean forward due to its broken legs. The extremely cold wind from his palm instantly froze the Earth Armored Beast's broken legs. With the aid of the bleeding wound, Frozen Heaven Essence Energy's inner force could easily invade, ignoring its perverted defense scales, and complete the restriction on its broken legs.

The Earth Armored Beast crashed to the ground, shaking the entire valley floor. On the surface, it looked like only a broken leg had been frozen, but the Frozen Heaven Essence Energy's internal energy would flow through the meridians and this Earth Armored Beast's life would slowly be exhausted over time.

After killing one Earth Armored Beast, Liu Qi continued to rush towards the other. Taking this chance, the second Earth Armored Beast had already gotten rid of the stinging sensation in its eyes. Upon opening his eyes, he saw his comrade lying on the floor. Anger immediately turned into madness. He lowered his head, scattered his four hooves and rushed towards Liu Qi.

Liu Qi, who still wanted to beat the crap out of him, realized that the situation was not right. He immediately changed direction in midair and dodged to the side, avoiding the Earth Armored Beast that was charging straight at him. The sudden change of direction disrupted the rhythm of his attack. After landing on the ground, he kicked backwards uncontrollably for a few steps before regaining his footing.

CHAPTER 303 - GOBLIN(3)

Earth Armored Beast could not hit Liu Qi, so it rushed towards Zhuge Ming and the others.

Although Heaven Martial Cultivator s only had a single attacking technique, they had a strong attacking power. With the cultivation of the rest of the Golden Assault Team members, they would definitely not dare to obstruct him. In addition to Zhuge Ming, who had the name of Earth Martial Cultivator but no real Earth Martial Cultivator, a total of eight people were scared stiff when they saw the Earth Armored Beast rushing over.

Although the scene was chaotic, these people were after all the elite disciples of the Xinyuan Academy. The eight of them moved in groups of four, giving the middle hallway to the Earth Armored Beast s that were rushing past.

In order to take care of Zou Fann and Faang Hua, who were running the slowest, Cai Yifeng controlled the Sword of Radiance to transform into seven flying swords and kept on attacking the Earth Armored Beast's body in an attempt to attract its attention.

Shen Tianxing even used the Flame Knife to conjure a wall of fire in front of the Earth Armored Beast. It was about ten meters away from the ferocious beast and Zou Fann. With the Fire Wall blocking, the Earth Armored Beast should not be rash. Changing the direction of attack was the best choice, once they turn around and chase after him, then Zou Fann and Faang Hua would have enough time to escape.

Zhuge Ming, who was paying attention to their movements as he ran, couldn't help but nod to himself. This group of Golden Assault Team, which was famous in the academy, was indeed well-trained. During the battle, everyone knew what to do and what not to do. They would take advantage of each other and make the most of the loss.

In front of the Earth Armored Beast, there was a fire wall, and small swords were constantly harassing the entire body. Although they could ignore the small swords' attacks just by relying on their super defensive power, for the Earth Armored Beast who had already fallen into madness, it was like adding oil to fire.

The Earth Armored Beast's four hooves suddenly exerted force, and its huge body actually jumped up a meter into the air. With a flash of white light, all of the scales on its body, seven of the little swords were bounced up in the air. He used the momentum from his leap to leap over the fire wall and continued to chase after Zou Fann and Faang Hua.

The Earth Armored Beast's reaction speed was out of everyone's expectation, it was already too late for Shen Tianxing and Cai Yifeng to change their moves, and Xia Qi who was originally hiding at the back was even more unstoppable. Although the speed of the remaining Jiang Rong was astonishing, in terms of strength, he was weaker than the other three, and the fact that Shen Tianxing was trying to rescue them was a fact that he did not have enough strength. For now, the only way out was for the four on the right to think of a way to deal with it.

Zou Fann and Faang Hua, who were running, could only see the huge body descending from the sky. It looked like a black cloud pressing down on their souls. He was shocked, potential exploded when his life was threatened, and all his Qi was injected into his legs, increasing his speed by a level, narrowly escaping the Earth Armored Beast's attack.

With a boom, the earth shook. "The Earth Armored Beast smashed onto the ground with a weight of nearly five tons. Fortunately, this was a valley paved with mountain rocks. If it was a normal muddy ground, then a large chunk of it would have collapsed.

Unexpectedly, this smash did not have any effect on the Earth Armored Beast. Its body bent down to dissolve the falling force, and it spread out its four hooves to chase after Faang Hua and Zou Fann who were not far away.

This was the difference between a human and a gigantic ferocious beast. With every step the three-meter-long Earth Armored Beast took, the distance between the two of them was constantly shrinking.

Bastard, find soft persimmon to bully! If you have the ability, come chase after me! " Liu Qi, who had killed a Earth Armored Beast at the front, had already turned around and chased after them. He shouted out loud, hoping to divert the Earth Armored Beast's attention away.

However, the Earth Armored Beast ignored his provocation and continued to chase after the relatively weak Faang Hua and Zou Fann. Seeing that the horn shining with a cold light was about to be hung onto Zou Fann's back, the Earth Armored Beast roared in excitement.

The howling echoed in the empty valley. Zou Fann, who was crazily running for his life, was seriously exhausted, so he was frightened again when he fell down. He mixed the garlic under his feet and landed on the ground, just one meter away from the Earth Armored Beast. Zou Fann, who knew that he was going to die, closed his eyes and waited for death to befall him.

NO! Zou Fann! Seven miserable cries came from different directions. They were still unable to recall Zou Fann's life that was about to be stomped flat by the Earth Armored Beast.

As the Earth Armored Beast raised its front hooves, a tragedy was about to happen. Tears welled up in everyone's eyes as they ran towards Zou Fann.

At this critical moment, a streak of silver light suddenly descended from the night sky like a meteor falling without any warning. In the blink of an eye, it shot out from the side of the right front hoof into the ground half a meter away from Zou Fann and disappeared, leaving a deep black hole as thick as a thumb.

Howl! The Earth Armored Beast that was pierced by the ray of light let out a long cry, and its body stopped moving its front hooves up for a good three seconds.

Zou Fann, who had come back after circling in front of the Death God, immediately opened his eyes when he heard the mournful cry. Seeing the motionless Earth Armored Beast, he immediately crawled and rolled out of its attack range.

Three seconds passed quickly, the Earth Armored Beast's front paw fell, just as everyone was about to continue their attack, they killed it in one go. Unexpectedly, the Earth Armored Beast laid on the ground without even needing them to move their hands. They slowly closed their eyes, and the red light covered them with their pale white. At the same time, reddish-brown blood flowed from the hole in the right hoof where the light had pierced and soaked the ground in front of him.

The Earth Armored Beast was clearly heavily injured and had died. Everyone could not help but be stunned. In the end, Liu Qi was the first one to react. He turned around and looked at Lu Yuan, who was panting heavily in the distance.

That's right, Lu Yuan was the one who saved Zou Fann in that moment of crisis. The light ray that entered the Earth Armored Beast's body had an extremely strong penetrating power. Wasn't it the top martial art, Dipper Star Divine Art, famous throughout the continent's Star Realm?

Liu Qi laughed and ran to Lu Yuan's side, patting him on the back while laughing, Didn't I say it before, why didn't our impulsive ghosts come to save us in time? So it was just one person secretly hiding behind the scenes and playing tricks on us. Good, good, very good! Haha …"

Although Liu Qi's words did not please the ears, but to the Gold Commando who was used to playing around, they all heard the most sincere praises. Everyone laughed loudly to express their joy, and within their laughter, there was both the joy of surviving a calamity and their love for the team.

Of course, Lu Yuan was not angry after saving everyone, but as each of his comrades gave him a thumbs up, he quickly felt relieved and revealed his naughty nature. He made a big face and gave Liu Qi a kick as revenge.

Witnessing everything from a distance, Zhuge Ming felt the sincere affection between all the members of the group. While appreciating it, he became even more determined to help Liu Qi out of the mountain. He believed that someone who could form such a team could definitely provide a stage for him to show his talent.

CHAPTER 304 - GOBLIN(4)

After taking care of two mature Earth Armored Beast, there were no other beings in the valley that could threaten them anymore. After taking the beast materials that could be sold, the nine of them gathered at a place where Liu Qi was leading the way towards the cave that had the smell of Spiritual Beings.

Even though he knew that there were only a few little Earth Armored Beast in the cave, Liu Qi still cautiously led the way. After leading everyone around two turns, everyone heard the little Earth Armored Beast's cry.

Zhuge Ming listened silently for a moment, then took a deep breath and nodded: That's right, there are only three young beasts. This relaxed and happy smell must be coming from the Earth Spirit Essence. We are really lucky.

Who wouldn't be excited when the treasure was in front of them? Even Zhuge Ming, who was usually calm and collected, revealed a happy expression. As for the other people, they were eager to have a rapid increase in their strength, so they were so excited that their hands kept shaking.

In the huge cave at the bottom of the cave, as Zhuge Ming expected, the three baby Armored Beasts that had yet to open their eyes were curled up at the entrance of the cave. From time to time, they would raise their heads and open their mouths and cry out a few times, as if they were waiting for an adult Earth Armored Beast to feed them.

Liu Qi and the rest were not bloodthirsty people, they could not handle the three newborn beasts at all. They could only assign Faang Hua, Jiang Rong, and Xia Qi to watch over them, while the others followed him to search for Earth Spirit Essence.

It was dark inside the cave, so Liu Qi had to light up a fire to light it up. With the help of the fire, they finally got a good look at the interior of the cave. The three sides were craggy mountain walls, the cave was over twenty meters tall, and the entire space was around two hundred square meters. Water occasionally dripped from the mountain wall, causing the cave to feel somewhat moist. The floor of the cave was a dark brown colored soil, and it was exactly the same as the soil on the Cold Desert Mountain. Apart from the soil, there was nothing special about it.

Liu Qi frowned slightly. He could smell a strange fragrance coming from nowhere. Helpless, I called everyone to gather together and use the dumbest carpet search method to search in groups.

A space of two hundred square meters was neither big nor small. The six people of Liu Qi's group split into three groups and headed towards the direction of the three sides of the mountain cliff in twos and threes. From time to time, the six of them would stamp their feet to see if there was anything strange with the ground beneath them. Occasionally, they would raise their heads to look at the ceiling.

Finally, the Heavens did not disappoint those who had put in the effort. The duopoly of Liu Qi and Zhuge Ming has discovered a suspicious aspect. It was a small crack in the mountain wall, and the reason why it aroused their suspicion was that when Liu Qi touched his palm to the crack and felt for it, he could actually feel a breeze blowing by.

Liu Qi's face immediately revealed a pleasant surprise as he called Zhuge Ming over to confirm. Zhuge Ming also put his palm on it, then his eyes shined as he nodded.

One had to know that this was the bottom of the cave. After seven or eight bends in the cave, the wind from the outside world would not be able to blow in easily. Furthermore, when he felt the direction of the wind on his palm, it clearly came from inside the rift. The only explanation was that there was a passage to the outside world behind the rift.

In order to confirm their judgment, Liu Qi and Zhuge Ming purposefully laid on the ground, put their noses close to the crack and inhaled deeply. Sure enough, the fragrance coming from the crevice was even stronger than the smell they got from the cave. The two of them looked at each other excitedly and continued to search around the crack.

Soon after, the two of them found many more similar crevices and confirmed that the fragrance of the cave was coming from these crevices. This discovery is crucial.

Liu Qi recalled Xia Qi and the other two who were watching over the cub, and the nine of them began to discuss their next course of action. In the end, under Zhuge Ming's suggestion, he decided to break open the mountain wall and see if there were any Earth Spirit Essence behind the mountain.

The plan was set, but breaking through the mountain wall was also very particular. Using brute force to break it was a method, but no one knew how thick Chu Shan's wall was. If it was too thick, then everyone's strength might not be enough to break it. What was even more unreliable was whether or not there was any danger behind the mountain wall. As a Martial Cultivator, everyone knew that Natural Treasures would usually have a Guardian Spirit Beast guarding them. If they were to break through the mountain wall and anger the Earth Spirit Essence, it was possible that the Guardian Beast would encounter trouble with its strength.

Therefore, Liu Qi still chose the gentle method of breaking through. First, they would break open a small hole to observe the situation, and then slowly increase the size of the hole. If there was any movement behind the mountain wall, they would be able to find out in time, unless the Guardian Beast was a tiny creature, otherwise, the small hole would have the effect of obstructing, giving them enough time to react.

As the undisputed number one fighter of the expedition team, Liu Qi was the one who refused to shoulder this difficult task. The method he used was very simple: freeze.

Yes, it was freezing. The Frozen Heaven Essence Energy's internal energy could freeze anything, and the effects of the extreme coldness could catalyze the surface and the interior of an object. Once an object lost its activity, as long as an external force was lightly added, the object sealed in the ice could be turned into ice chips.

The method that Liu Qi thought of was well-received by Zhuge Ming and the others. It was both safe and easy, but the key was that they wouldn't make any loud noises to alert the existence of Guardian Beast behind the mountain walls.

In fact, only Liu Qi himself knew that this inspiration came from his teacher. He clearly remembered that when he first met his benefactor Lin Luo, many years ago, the copper cauldron that was sealed in ice and could not be damaged by his sledgehammer was actually unable to withstand Liu Qi's kick without any internal energy at that time. It was this unforgettable experience that caused him to decide to acknowledge Lin Luo as his teacher, thus opening the path to Martial Cultivator.

With a smile, Liu Qi motioned for everyone to back off. In the blink of an eye, a bone-piercing cold wind blew as the temperature in the cave plummeted. Zou Fann and the rest who were slightly weaker had no choice but to circulate their inner force to defend against the cold.

Liu Qi's eyes flashed with a cold light, and the Frozen Heaven Essence Energy that surrounded him slowly condensed into his right palm. In just a few seconds, Liu Qi's right palm turned from the normal color of flesh to a crystal clear white. If one looked at it from afar, they would definitely mistake it for a piece of jade.

Liu Qi lightly pressed his palm against the wall in front of him as a cold mist shrouded his palm. The moment his hand touched the mountain wall, the cold mist scattered and slowly seeped into the mountain wall. A slight sizzling sound could be heard from inside the cave. With Liu Qi's palm as the center, a layer of frost appeared on the 20 centimeter wide mountain wall. Finally, it turned into a thin layer of ice.

Taking a deep breath, Liu Qi retracted his palm and retracted his Frozen Heaven Essence Energy's inner force. Before him, there was a clear ice palm print on the wall. With a light cough, Liu Qi raised his hand again and flicked his finger toward the ice.

Crack * The surface of the ice cracked from the point of contact, causing tiny cracks to spread out until the end of the layer of ice, like a spider web covering a mountain.

Everyone held their breath, staring unwaveringly at the mountain wall. What happened next determined whether Liu Qi's method was feasible or not. Everyone who was waiting for the result had their hearts in their throats.

Peng! The anticipated event finally happened. After the crack line extended to its limit, it suddenly exploded. The rock on the mountain wall turned into pieces of ice and fell down, scattering under Liu Qi's feet.

That's great, boss! Cai Yifeng cheered in a soft and excited voice to let everyone know how they were feeling right now.

CHAPTER 305 - GOBLIN(5)

Liu Qi patted Cai Yifeng on the shoulder, and the smile on his face was no less than others. It turned out that Lin Luo's method worked.

After being overjoyed, Liu Qi turned around and looked at the mountain wall. Right now, on the mountain wall, there was a 20 centimeter radius shallow pit with a depth of around 10 centimeters. This was the result of Liu Qi deliberately controlling the infiltration of Ice Inner Qi in order to test it out.

Satisfied, Liu Qi nodded his head and said to Wu Tie, Brother Zhuge, based on this, I can deduce that this mountain face is quite thick.

Zhuge Ming smiled lightly and said, It's a good opportunity to check your internal energy storage. Don't let everyone down!

The others then burst out laughing in good will, only Lu Yuan blinked his eyes, looked at Zhuge Ming strangely, and said with surprise, Eh? I say, Zhuge, you've learned how to joke too, I always thought you were an immortal that didn't eat the smoke and fire of the mortal world!"

Faced with the mockery from his enemy, Zhuge Ming shook his head and smiled bitterly. Even he himself did not understand why things would change like this. The only explanation was that they had slowly blended into the group and learned to tease each other.

The others may not care about Zhuge Ming's change, but it was a major breakthrough for Liu Qi. From this, it could at least be seen that Zhuge Ming didn't reject them and was even somewhat close to them. It would form a good foundation for joint efforts in the future.

After a joke, Liu Qi focused his attention back on the mountain wall. The feeling of snow and ice once again descended into the cave. This time, Liu Qi purposely increased the penetration depth of his inner force. Similarly, within a radius of 20 centimeters, he dropped ice chips with a depth of 50 centimeters.

After repeating this process over and over again, a deep tunnel appeared in front of them. Due to the small diameter, it was not able to ambush the Guardian Beast that might exist behind the Wu Yu Mountain Wall. Liu Qi frowned. From the last time he used his inner force to condense the mountain wall, he could already feel the remaining thickness of the wall. He just needed to add a little more and he could penetrate the entire wall.

Liu Qi turned around and instructed his comrades, Everyone move back a little, we will succeed next time. I'm afraid of danger, be careful.

Everyone's face became serious. If they succeeded, they were most afraid of losing everything. Under Zhuge Ming's order, the rest of them retreated two meters away to avoid affecting Liu Qi's performance. At the same time, they also ensured their own safety.

Once again, the ice energy seeped into the mountain wall. Liu Qi's heart was very nervous, as he sealed the last section of the mountain wall, he used his internal energy to turn himself into a Armor.

Cracking sounds came out from the tunnel, causing everyone's heart to tighten. No one knew what was going on behind the cliff, and it was all Zhuge Ming and Liu Qi's judgment whether there were Earth Spirit Essence s or not. Before they saw the result, they would be worried.

Luckily, the results were about to be revealed.

With a bang, a gust of cool wind blew into the cave along with the mountain wall. Smelling the rich fragrance in the air, everyone's faces involuntarily lit up with a smile.

There was hope! Liu Qi suppressed his excitement and carefully looked at the dark mountain tunnel. At the other end of the tunnel, which was about a meter long, the light was not too bright either, but the space felt much smaller. Judging from the wind force, the other side seemed to be quite close to the outside world.

Liu Qi, who was originally on tenterhooks, didn't receive the expected attack. He heaved a sigh of relief, turned around and made a safe hand gesture to the rest, relaxing the atmosphere in the cave.

He waited for more than five minutes. Other than the fragrance that continuously wafted over, nothing else had happened. Liu Qi finally put down his worries. After a discussion with Zhuge Ming, he decided to widen the area of the mountain wall tunnel and form a one-man path.

For the next hour or so, the cold wind whistled and snow fell within the cave. Liu Qi exerted his Frozen Heaven Essence Energy's inner strength to the extreme, and he would occasionally swallow a Seven Stars Flash Pill to replenish his depleted inner strength. After his long and unremitting efforts, the hole in the mountain wall grew larger and larger.

Phew, Liu Qi let out a breath of air. The tunnel that could allow a person to crawl on the ground in front of him had been formed. The nine of them smelled an increasingly strong and strange fragrance, looking overjoyed and overjoyed.

However, Liu Qi and Zhuge Ming did not lose their minds from the joy of victory. Although the opposite space was opened up, it was still an unknown space for them. No one could guarantee that they could maintain their temporary safety. Therefore, Liu Qi had decided to arrange the first person to pass through the passage by relying on his own strength, which was far above everyone else's.

After arranging his order, Liu Qi kneeled down and used his hands and feet to slowly crawl into the passage. The tunnel wasn't long to begin with. Adding Liu Qi's height, which was around 1.8 meters, it only took him two crawl to pass through.

Liu Qi was alerted as he was the first to enter the space behind the tunnel. He did not manage to see the scenery in front of him clearly. Without any hesitation, he pushed off the ground with his feet and his entire body flew out. He did not stop and only got up after two rolls.

The moment he turned around, Liu Qi was shocked by the scene in front of him. He hurriedly shouted and told the people following him not to come over. He quickly walked forward and smashed down the passage that he had finally opened. While sealing the passage, he left himself at the same place.

The second person who was about to pass through the tunnel was Liu Qi's girlfriend, Xia Qi. Seeing the tunnel was sealed, Liu Qi's screams became even more urgent. Xia Qi's hands and feet instantly turned cold and her heart trembled.

The seven people who were waiting behind them didn't understand what was going on. They only heard an unclear call from Liu Qi and the passageway collapsed. Xia Qi, who had already entered, remained as she was, neither moving forward nor retreating.

Zhuge Ming twitched his mouth at Lu Yuan. Lu Yuan then crouched down and tugged at Xia Qi's pants, softly calling her, Xiao Qi, what happened?

Xia Qi's whole body trembled as she recovered from her dazed state. She quickly retreated and stood up from the tunnel. She grabbed Zhuge Ming's arm and shouted in a sobbing tone, Brother Zhuge, go and save Liu Qi. He's in trouble!

Zhuge Ming's eyes flashed as he nodded slightly and comforted Xia Qi, Don't worry, Liu Qi will take care of himself.

Although he said this, even he himself didn't feel confident. His mind quickly thought of a plan to deal with it. In the absence of Liu Qi, Zhuge Ming was the backbone of the rest of them. All seven of them focused their eyes on Zhuge Ming, hoping that he would come up with an idea as soon as possible.

Usually, he respected Liu Qi the most, but now that his idol was in danger and was facing an unknown danger alone, he was extremely worried. Seeing that Zhuge Ming was unable to come up with a solution, he gritted his teeth and rushed towards the passage.

Don't be reckless! Zhuge Ming shouted loudly, intimidating Cai Yifeng on the spot.

Cai Yifeng turned his head to look at Zhuge Ming and said anxiously, I say, Military Advisor, don't stop me. The Boss is fighting with his life on the line. I have to go help him!

CHAPTER 306 - GOBLIN(6)

Zhuge Ming nodded and said, I understand your feelings, and like you, I hope that I can help Liu Qi. But have you thought about why Liu Qi sealed the passage?

Cai Yifeng was stunned and shook his head. Zhuge Ming explained, That's because he knows we can't handle the other party's danger, so we can only become his burden. It's better to seal off the cave entrance and fight on our own, perhaps there's still a glimmer of hope.

Although his words explained the reason why Liu Qi did so, it was like adding oil to the fire for those who were anxious. Zhuge Ming obviously knew what they were thinking about, and revealed a firm and unswerving expression, he promised the Golden Commando in front of him: Everyone, don't worry. Liu Qi is my good friend, and he was also found to be in danger because he helped me find the Phantom Blossom and the Summoning Arts. Give me time to think of something.

Since he had already said so, Xia Qi and the others couldn't continue to make things difficult for him. After all, just being anxious wasn't enough to solve Liu Qi's problem.

The atmosphere in the cave was heavy, and everyone's faces were filled with anxiety. Zhuge Ming frowned as he thought over and over again about the countermeasures. Time slowly passed by as everyone was feeling anxious.

At the other end of the tunnel. After smashing down the tunnel entrance, Liu Qi immediately dodged and retreated. His eyes were fixated on the direction of the danger. It was a mountain wall that pierced the clouds, which was the mountain wall where the passageway was located. The reason Liu Qi sealed the cave
