Chapter 277 Fang Ping Steals the Essence
Meanwhile, Qin Fengqing and his two companions were frantically running away. "Qin Fengqing, I was truly out of my mind to believe you! I only considered attacking that small town because of you. Now what about the big one behind us?"
"Ever since I came down into the underground cave with you, we've never been out of the loop. You're a jinx!" Wang Jinyang cursed as he ran.
At first, they listened to Qin Fengqing's words and things went very smoothly. The attack on that small town was also going smoothly. There were only two mid-level sixth-rank underground warriors inside, who were easily killed by them. However, while they were searching, they encountered high-ranking seventh-rank warriors who came to their aid and kept chasing them.
"I don't know either! Who knew this seventh-rank martial artist would appear so quickly? Could that small town be under his name, or his hometown? Otherwise, why would he rush over here in such a hurry? We've slaughtered his hometown, killed his parents! Otherwise, I would be chasing after him like this too!" Qin Fengqing ran ahead, muttering to himself.
"At a time like this, you're still talking nonsense. Quickly think of a plan. We're about to be caught. If we are caught, we'll really die here."
Seeing that Qin Fengqing still had time to ponder why they were being chased, Wang Jinyang roared angrily.
"A solution, a solution, a solution—I've got it!"
Qin Fengqing muttered something, then suddenly looked at something and turned to run to one side.
"There? Qin Fengqing, are you going to lure him over to that crocodile?"
Wang Jinyang looked in the direction Qin Fengqing was pointing. There was a forest there; they had entered it before when they were exploring and found a group of crocodile-like demonic beasts, including some high-grade ones. They hadn't investigated it thoroughly before leaving.
Luring this seventh-rank cultivator to that location might indeed lead to a fight, but it could also backfire, turning the pursuers into two high-rank cultivators.
"Then let's go."
After thinking for a moment, Wang Jinyang gritted his teeth and said, "Anyway, the worst that can happen is that the two of us will chase after them together. If they are caught up now, their situation won't be much better."
Li Hansong, standing to the side, remained silent, focusing solely on keeping up with them as they ran. As a fifth-rank official, it was already quite an achievement for him to keep pace with the two of them.
But listening to Qin Fengqing and Wang Jinyang's moves, Li Hansong felt exhausted. "I'm only a fifth-rank player! I can't keep up with your amazing skills!"
For a moment, Li Hansong missed Fang Ping. Fang Ping should be very reliable, right? He's probably in one of the villages outside right now, and he must be safe.
Meanwhile, in Giant Willow City, a mud figure slowly emerged from the mine shaft. Fang Ping felt an itch in his nose and wanted to sneeze. Could someone be cursing him?
However, he naturally dared not make any moves, since this was the core of the mine. If he were discovered, even ten deaths wouldn't be enough for a mere fourth-grade peak cultivator like him.
Fang Ping continued his advance towards the core area.
In the core area, six high-ranking individuals reside: two Golden Body experts who were injured in the previous battle, four Grandmasters, and quite a few sixth-ranking individuals.
They were all waiting for the healing of the essence of life.
Under normal circumstances, Prince Liu would never have been willing to waste his life essence like this.
However, the resurrection channel is still stable. If more people come to the resurrection land, the injured commanders will not be able to fight at full strength.
As a precaution for the future, before pursuing the resurrected martial artist Gao Pin, Prince Liu explained that he should have the guardian spirit open the essence of life for them to use. In the center of the underground hall, a crystal-clear waterfall seemed to be floating in mid-air.
The waterfall cascades down from the sky, but it doesn't fall; it stops abruptly halfway down. Just looking at the waterfall makes it seem incredibly noble.
This is the life essence that the guardian deity has accumulated over the years through the mineral veins.
The high-ranking beings in the underground caves present all looked on with envy and longing at the life essence in the air.
This much life essence is enough to allow several Rank 7 cultivators to directly advance to Rank 8, or to allow several Rank 8 cultivators to complete the Golden Body Forging process.
Unfortunately, they can only use some of it now, and even then, it's only for healing.
The two Venerable Ones on the left front said nothing. They knew about the plans of King Liu and God Liu. Originally, these life essences were meant to help King Liu reach the pinnacle.
Only those who reach the pinnacle can migrate from the outer realms to the prosperous forbidden zone, where treasures are said to be everywhere, and large mines like theirs are countless.
Soon, an invisible wave began to spread.
"It's about to begin. Find your places and prepare to activate the Fountain of Life."
Absorb as much as you can, but don't overestimate yourself. There have been plenty of people who were overwhelmed by the amount they absorbed.
"That's what the Venerable One at the very front said."
In recent years, it has been activated once or twice, and it has indeed overwhelmed quite a few people. After all, when they see so much energy, they wonder if they can absorb more, and as a result, they are overwhelmed.
On the other side, Fang Ping also arrived at the core area. Suddenly, a powerful energy wave swept over him, and Fang Ping suddenly felt as if he were in an ocean of energy.
Countless energy particles scattered in all directions!
It's so rich!
Is this enabled?
Fang Ping immediately came to his senses. Such concentrated energy, and it was leaking out, meant that the true life essence inside could definitely save Old Li.
Fang Ping reached out towards the direction from which the energy was coming from.
Fang Ping kept lying prone underground, avoiding the roots, and he could hear the voices of the underground martial artists communicating above him.
"The battle with the powerful beings from beyond the realm has taken a heavy toll; we even need to use the Fountain of Life. I wonder if any demonic beasts will be attracted here."
"Stop complaining, hurry up and take advantage of this time when you have plenty of energy to start cultivating." Fang Ping even sensed a few faint spiritual energies scanning below.
It wasn't the spiritual power of a high-level expert, but rather somewhat similar to the faint spiritual power emanating from the saplings near the city gate.
If Fang Ping hadn't concealed his aura, he might have been discovered long ago.
These must be nodes set up by the Great Willow Tree. Ordinary martial artists can't hide them at all. Only powerful experts can hide them, but even experts can't sneak in silently. This place is practically prepared for him.
Powerful bursts of energy continued to emanate outwards.
Some low-purity energy stones in front of the square plane are sparkling and showing a tendency to transform into higher-grade ones, which shows just how powerful this energy is.
If he could continue cultivating here, Fang Ping couldn't even imagine how fast he could improve.
As he continued forward, Fang Ping found the journey increasingly difficult.
The intense energy somewhat restricted his movements.
After climbing for a while, Fang Ping suddenly felt much more relaxed.
I'm afraid I've already reached my destination, otherwise I wouldn't suddenly feel so relaxed.
Fang Ping felt something.
Just as Fang Ping crawled over, the eighth-rank Venerable who was absorbing life essence on the ground frowned, opened his eyes, looked around, and seeing nothing amiss, continued absorbing energy.
