Ling Tian, ​​who had no idea that someone was following him, had successfully returned to Area 3. Seeing Lei Zeyu and the others still tirelessly killing monsters, he couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.

"Who?"

"It's me, don't be nervous."

"Boss, you're back. I thought it was that disgusting team again."

"What? Someone's watching you. Is everyone okay?"

Arnold's words made Ling Tian frown. If he was remembered, his efficiency would be much lower.

"Nothing, just Ahla robbed them because they blamed him. He didn't mean to attack us. It seems he's interested in our equipment."

"How strong is it?"

"They are very strong, and there are many of them. Twelve late level fives, six peak level ones, and two early level sixes. If they hadn't been deterred by the Gatling gun's firepower, they would have been here long ago."

"With such strength, why don't you attack violently?"

Ling Tian was very confused. Their numbers and realm were much stronger than theirs. A strong attack would probably take only a few minutes to resolve them. Why were they just harassing them?

"Boss, that's because of this Gatling gun. It doesn't consume our own energy. If they were to attack, a level 5 would definitely suffer heavy casualties, and a level 6 would definitely consume a huge amount of energy. Once they consume too much, it would take a long time to recover with corpse crystals, and then they would be in danger. This is the main reason why they don't dare to attack by force."

Ling Tian looked as if he understood everything. He already had a plan in mind, and then he ordered, "Just focus on clearing the corpses, and leave the rest to me."

After saying that, Ling Tian rose and fell and disappeared in this small canyon.

A few thousand meters away, a dozen people sat in a small cave. The Level 6 man in the lead asked a thin man, "Aliang, what's going on over there?"

"No major changes, but I've observed for some time that the weapon has a slight flaw. If we can grasp it, we can easily kill them."

"Oh? Tell me about it!"

"Magazine, they only have one magazine. Every time the energy is used up, they need to reload the corpse crystal. This process takes about 10 seconds."

"Very good, I'll credit you for this achievement. Everyone, hurry up and recharge your energy. Don't be stingy with your corpse crystals. With their equipment, our gains this time will definitely be a thousand times greater than before."

On the other side, Ling Tian had found an extremely secret tree hole outside the valley and hid there. This area was the only way to enter the valley, and they would definitely enter from here, so it was just right to wait here for a sneak attack.

There were more than a dozen people on the other side, so Ling Tian didn't dare to be careless. As soon as he hid, he took dozens of drops of Life Milk to recover.

......

“Rustle~”

“Here I come!”

After waiting for a long time, there was finally some movement. He could vaguely sense a dozen tiny energy fluctuations in the distance. Ling Tian was sure it was that group of people.

To be on the safe side, Ling Tian suppressed his breath to an extremely low level, and when the time was right, he immediately activated his stealth skill.

Fortunately, the other party's realm is only the early stage of level six. If it is the later stage, his concealment will be useless.

Dozens of seconds later, more than a dozen figures stopped near the big tree where Ling Tian was hiding. The leading man stopped abruptly and stretched out his hand to block the brothers behind him.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

The man didn't say anything, but frowned and shouted in a deep voice. His eyes were covered with a layer of red light, and wherever he looked, he had a feeling of breaking through all obstacles.

Ling Tian, ​​who was hiding, looked at his weird eyes and felt a pang in his heart. It seemed that he could no longer hide.

"come out!"

The man launched a burst of energy from the air, striking the tree where Ling Tian was hiding.

With a loud bang, the tree was split in half, but the man looked up at the sky. Then he narrowed his eyes and instantly burst out with astonishing energy. With a bang, he flew towards Ling Tian's position at an extremely high speed.

Ling Tian had no intention of dodging, as it was a good opportunity to test his own strength.

“Good job!”

Ling Tian shouted loudly, gathered his strongest energy into his fist, and took the initiative to attack.

"Bang~"

In a flash, both of them took several steps back. The man who had already landed on the ground looked solemnly at Ling Tian in the air. Based on the previous attack, he had already judged that Ling Tian's strength was not lower than his. Moreover, he could stay in the air for such a long time without showing any sign of weakening, which showed how strong the energy reserves in his body were.

"My friend, we don't seem to have any hatred towards each other, so why are you hiding here to intercept us?"

"Why?"

Ling Tian smiled slightly and stretched out his right hand.

"Thousands of thunders burn the sky!"

"No, everyone, disperse!"

The man screamed and jumped out quickly. At the moment he escaped, lightning, thunder and flames rose to the sky within a range of 50 meters below.

"Ah~ Big brother, save me~ Save..."

Several mid-level five cultivators were a little slow to react and were unable to dodge, and their bodies were contaminated by the flames. With a loud bang, their entire bodies were burned to ashes, leaving only the shining strange crystal.

This sudden attack only killed three people. Ling Tian was a little dissatisfied, and swooped down to a mid-stage weakling in the corner.

"Huh, when we're not here?"

Two early-stage level six men moved out at the same time, attacking from above and below. Feeling the two of them approaching at high speed, Ling Tian raised the corner of his mouth imperceptibly.

Just when they reached him, Ling Tian braked suddenly in mid-air, twisted his body strangely and passed through the gap between the two people's attacks, then turned his spear head and killed the other person.

"Ah Hu, disperse quickly."

The man's reminder was still too slow, and the man named Ah Hu was beheaded before he could react.

"mean!"

The man in the lead was furious after losing four companions at once, but there was nothing he could do. Without flying skills, they could only passively defend on the ground.

"Everyone, come closer to us, cast energy shields, and we're retreating!"

Retreat? Ling Tian certainly wouldn't give them a chance. How could he let go of such a huge fortune? With this batch of exotic crystals, he could upgrade in advance.

"Since you guys have set your sights on me, you can't blame me, haha!"

Ling Tian looked at them fleeing, his aura suddenly rising. He clenched his fists and shouted angrily, "Beast soul fusion, blood sacrifice begins!"

With the double superposition, Ling Tian's aura continued to rise, and in a moment he had broken through the peak of level six and stood firmly in the terrifying realm of the early stage of level seven.

He clenched his fists and felt the terrifying energy in his body. "The feeling of being full of power... is so good!"

"What?"

"Everyone, quickly scatter and run away."

Feeling the terrifying aura approaching from behind, the leading man screamed and shouted, then ran away desperately without caring about the energy consumption.

"Escape? If you escape like this, the ten years of my life lost in the blood sacrifice won't be in vain, hehe!"

"Stay here!"

To catch a thief, you must first catch the leader. Ling Tian’s first target is of course the leader of this team.

"Fuck, why did you choose me to chase?"

"Because... you look unlucky."
