"They want to kill these three ninth-tier spirit beasts!"

Hidden in the shadows, Jiang Yuan could already sense the undercurrents within the mine. The second wave of missiles approached from the sky, which also prevented a spirit beast outside from rushing in to help.

As for inside the mine, he couldn't perceive what was happening because he lacked the Stone Breath, but he clearly heard the furious roars of the savage beast and the holy spirit beast, which meant that the two sides in the mine had officially started their war.

"It seems they planned this all along!" Jiang Yuan no longer hesitated and rushed into the mine.

He took a few steps and found that all the hundreds of Holy Spirit Stones left at the entrance had been collected.

"What is that?"

Jiang Yuan hadn't gone far into the mine when he saw a savage beast enveloped in a swirling aura of desolate evil spirits. Four people were attacking it with all their might, and the beast was on the verge of death under the combined assault of the desolate evil spirits and the humans.

But the vitality of a savage beast is incredibly strong. Even in this dying state, it is still a terrifying ninth-tier beast.

"Don't hold back, kill him outright, otherwise the Gale Squad won't be able to hold them off!" Li Tiegen said, his voice filled with murderous intent.

However, no sooner had he finished speaking than seven or eight members of the Gale Squad rushed out, along with the siblings Li Xiaohao and Li Xiaoshuang.

"Uncle Li, the plan has failed! The Li siblings couldn't hold onto Suoxia, and it's about to break free!" A young man with a fearful expression said breathlessly.

Li Tiegen realized the seriousness of the problem, but this only strengthened his resolve to kill the savage beast Shi Jie immediately.

"The spear of war!"

A spear materialized in the void, slicing through space with a whoosh and piercing the beast's head.

"Barbarian Divine Power - Indestructible Vajra!" the barbarian beast Shi Jie shouted sharply. The so-called divine power is just a talent, but each race has a different name for it.

Shi Jie's talent was actually not as good as Li Tiegen's, but don't forget that he was at the ninth level, while Li Tiegen was only at the eighth level. So when the War Spear was inserted into Shi Jie's head, it failed. Although the War Spear went in half a finger deep, the injury was still not fatal.

"What are you all standing there for? Make your move!" Li Tiegen roared at the remaining three.

The three understood each other perfectly and rushed forward to unleash their strongest attacks.

"You're the one who asked me to do this!"

Jiang Yuan, hiding in the back wearing a concealment robe, grinned slyly. He was just looking for an excuse to steal the spoils of war, and now this was it.

"ten times!"

This is the first time the God-Slaying Spear has revealed its fangs since it was unsealed. Before, in Jiang Yuan's hands, it was more like an ordinary weapon, with only a little bit of divine energy added, which was practically nothing. But now, when he activated the God-Slaying Spear, he gained more than two hundred points of divine energy added value. This number is enough to make it powerful even without engaging in divine battle.

Shangguan Ya unleashed a blade of light, but it was still immune to the Vajra Indestructible Technique.

Iron Hand Li threw a punch, but its power was unsatisfactory, not even comparable to Shangguan Ya's sword light, let alone Li Tiegen's war spear.

As for Shen Chengye, he did not make a move; he was waiting for the beast's supernatural powers to wear off.

Just as Li Tiegen and his two companions' attacks failed, the savage beast revealed a mocking smile, "Just wait, once Solo returns, none of you will leave this place alive!"

"Hidden Assassination!"

Hidden in the darkness, Jiang Yuan suddenly thrust out with the God-Slaying Spear. The spear in his hand was like a flame, piercing straight through the long dragon and bursting through the wound created by the War Spear, directly piercing the head of the savage beast.

His attack angle was premeditated, because the beast's only weakness was this spot.

Golden Rock Beast, Ninth-Tier Emperor (Three Wheels), Strength: 664, Talent: Indestructible Vajra.

Indestructible: Advanced talent, doubles defense when activated, lasts for five minutes.

The results of the Heavenly Eye's detection made him realize that even if the God-Slaying Spear was unsealed and activated with ten times the Hidden Kill, the result would still be the same as the attack by Shangguan Ya and the others, unable to even break through their defenses.

Of these, only Li Tiegen's War Spear broke through the defense, and the point of breach was his best attack point; otherwise, it would have been difficult for him to break through the Golden Rock Beast's indestructible defense.

"Alas!" The Golden Rock Beast let out a low whimper, a cry of unwillingness at the moment of death.

Jiang Yuan activated his energy gathering technique and thrust the God-Slaying Spear into the head of the Golden Rock Beast. Half a second later, the Golden Rock Beast's head exploded, and a purple-pink core fell to the ground.

The Golden Rock Beast has died!

"Can absorb ten points of divine energy. Current absorption limit: six. Replenish absorption limit to ten. Buffer time restored to ten hours."

The Devouring Talent was activated again, and the essence of the Golden Rock Beast's flesh and blood was absorbed into Jiang Yuan's body.

"A ninth-tier savage beast, dead?" Shangguan Ya's eyes were filled with deep surprise, but when she looked at the back of the faceless masked man, a sense of familiarity surged into her heart, "This person, I feel like I've seen him somewhere before?"

"Stop daydreaming, go kill Soxia!" Li Tiegen was surprised by the opponent's strength, but he was more worried about not being able to kill Soxia, so he turned around and headed straight for the depths of the mine.

The opportunity for the three ninth-tier spirit beasts to act alone is a rare one and should not be missed.

Shangguan Ya glanced at Jiang Yuan, then resolutely left, not even glancing at the crystal core on the ground.

Iron Hand Li and Shen Chengye, however, frowned and seemed to be thinking about something. After Li Tiegen and Shangguan Ya left, the two exchanged a glance and attacked Jiang Yuan!

"Kid, you got a bargain just now, shouldn't we keep this crystal core?"

The two men assumed a fighting stance, with Shen Chengye shouting at Jiang Yuan.

"Indeed, the saying 'Man dies for wealth, birds die for food' is an eternal truth!" Jiang Yuan was the first to pick up the crystal core from the ground.

His luck has been off the charts these past few days, with crystal cores that were once extremely rare coming his way one after another! He knows the reason for this, since most of the monsters he's killed these days possess royal lineage, so it's perfectly normal for the core quality to have improved.

"Kid, I know you're only at the seventh rank! Don't think we're afraid of you just because you got lucky and killed a ninth-rank beast. You'd better hand over the core quickly to avoid getting into trouble!" Shen Chengye threatened.

Jiang Yuan chuckled and said, "Come on, give it a try!"

He simply uttered a sentence, then put away the Golden Rock Beast's body and slowly walked away, holding the God-Slaying Spear, seemingly not taking the two of them seriously at all.

Five meters, four meters, until one meter!

The two men stared intently at Jiang Yuan, but Jiang Yuan continued to walk slowly, increasing the distance between them again—four meters, five meters—until he disappeared from their sight.

"This brat is not worth discussing anything with!" Iron Hand Li watched the man walk away, then uttered a harsh remark to Shen Chengye.

Shen Chengye sneered, "Then why don't you make a move! You want me to be the one to take the lead? You've got a good plan!"

"I was waiting for you to make a move, but I didn't expect that the head of the Shen family is such a coward!" Iron Hand Li mocked.

"Stop pretending. What do we do next? Are we just going to watch a ninth-tier crystal core slip through our fingers?" Shen Chengye said in a deep voice.

The probability of finding a crystal core is ridiculously low, and this is only a ninth-tier one. It is very likely to yield those super-grade treasures, which is enough to tempt anyone in the ninth tier.

"Do you think they can kill Sosha?" Iron Hand Lee's lips curled into a cold smile.

"It seems that Iron Hand Helmsman shares the same idea as me!"

"Come on, in this apocalypse, ruthlessness is the only way to win!"
