"Boss, we're here. When are you going to pick some bamboo shoots for us?"

Jiang Yuanhu shuddered. He was finally home, and he could finally escape Tuanzi's incessant chatter.

"Huh, where did everyone go?"

Although his senses were impaired due to his injury, he shouldn't be completely unable to sense a single person.

“Boss, I told you you have Alzheimer’s and you didn’t believe me! Aren’t there two people squatting over there?” The little dumpling pointed to a patch of lush green grass.

"Um?"

Jiang Yuan's expression was somewhat strange. He jumped off the little dumpling and stared at it intently several times. "Are you kidding me?"

“Boss, you’re now used to sensing energy instead of using your eyes!” The little dumpling had already recognized the identities of the two Voldemors, so he seemed extremely relaxed.

"Wait, what's this?!"

Jiang Yuan suddenly noticed something unusual in the bushes—wasn't that a patch of camouflage?

"Major Jiang, are you surprised?"

Just as Jiang Yuan walked over, Long Lei and Long Huo came out laughing and joking. Both of them were dressed in disguise and their internal energy was completely depleted.

"Damn it, what are you guys hiding here for!" Jiang Yuan was speechless.

"Of course we've been waiting for you! But sir, you're a bit slow. We've been waiting here for three hours, and several waves of monsters have come, but we still haven't seen you!" Long Lei laughed heartily. He had a good impression of Jiang Yuan, so he wasn't as reserved.

"If we hadn't been quick-witted and dissipated our energy, you might have ended up inside the monster's belly looking for us!" Long Lei said, half-jokingly.

"So they were hiding from strange beasts!" Jiang Yuan was both amused and exasperated. These two were truly unexpected, but it also suited their abilities.

Previously, when encountering the Holy Spirit team, it was this Long Lei who took down two ninth-tier Holy Spirits with a sniper rifle. Such a feat could only be accomplished with excellent stealth skills.

"By the way, where are Tang Yingjun and the others?" Jiang Yuan looked around but couldn't find Little Fatty and Yu Tu. He joked, "They're not here playing Voldemort like you guys, are they?"

"That's exactly why we're here!" Long Lei took out a map. "The mercenaries said they found a burial pit, and almost all of them went there. We were worried you wouldn't be able to find it, so we stayed behind!"

"A burial pit!"

Jiang Yuan was shocked. There was no simple place in the Tomb of the War Lord. He had experienced the Desolate Spirit Swamp before, so he naturally connected the two things together.

"Yes, it's the burial pit. Major An and Major Tang were worried about the mercenaries, so they set off ahead of time!" Long Lei explained the reason for leaving early so that Jiang Yuan wouldn't misunderstand.

"This woman is so petty, she didn't even wait for me!" Jiang Yuan thought to himself, annoyed. Although they couldn't be lovers, they were still comrades-in-arms who fought side by side. How could she just abandon him like that? Didn't he have any pride?

"Major Jiang, what do we do next?" Long Lei asked tentatively.

Jiang Yuan glanced at the map and said with a faint smile, "How could such a fun place be complete without my oath!"

He made a fortune in the Undead Swamp last time. If it weren't for that place, he would have run out of Undead Marks long ago. Now that a similar Undead Swamp has appeared, he has no reason to refuse such a temptation.

"Hurrah!"

The little dumpling's roar startled Long Lei and Long Huo. Only then did they realize that the battle pet accompanying this apostle could actually talk, and it seemed to be quite intelligent.

As Jiang Yuan traveled, he rummaged through the low-level cores in his personal space. He had killed a large number of insectoids in the Iron Birch Forest and participated in the two massacres of the Five Elements Ring outside the city. He had accumulated tens of thousands of low-level cores. However, because the Holy Spirit Stones were always absorbed by the Heavenly Eye, he had no low-level Holy Spirit Stones to use, which is why these cores were left to gather dust in his personal space.

But just now, Long Lei and Long Huo gave him an unexpected surprise.

The Northern Alliance cleared out a large number of low-level monsters during the cataclysm, and because of the sheer number, they still have a large number of low-level Holy Spirit Stones remaining.

Moreover, the low-level Holy Spirit Stones could no longer meet their cultivation needs, so Jiang Yuan naturally exchanged all the low-level Holy Spirit Stones they had back.

"This is the Origin of Wind!"

With a thought, Jiang Yuan activated a fourth-tier mithril core within his personal space, and a cyan wind blade floated and sank within the space.

"Although the probability of these low-level cores having primordial veins is low, I have enough of them!" Jiang Yuan was secretly delighted. As long as he could open up primordial veins, there would be no problem.

It should be noted that he has tens of thousands of cores in his personal space, enough for him to choose from at his leisure.

He has already tasted the benefits of a high-level bloodline. Take the backlash from the Five Elements Ring this time, for example. If it weren't for the fact that the purity of his Five Elements bloodline had increased to 90%, he wouldn't have been able to get through the backlash from the Five Elements Ring so easily.

"continue!"

Since he had nothing better to do, he might as well take this opportunity to open a few more primordial meridians. After all, the backlash effect was still present, and the primary enhancement technique hadn't cooled down yet, so he could only open his core to pass the time.

Over the next hour, Jiang Yuan examined each of the three thousand cores and discovered that twenty primordial veins of each of the five elements had been opened within them: four primordial veins of wind, three primordial veins of thunder, two primordial veins of light, and one primordial vein of darkness.

That's enough for today!

Jiang Yuan stretched comfortably on the little dumpling's back. They were not far from the burial pit marked on the map. He wanted to try to integrate these original veins into the mutated five elements bloodline and see what changes would occur.

"Tianyan, do you have any suggestions?"

Just to be on the safe side, Jiang Yuan specifically consulted Tianyan before this operation.
