26 Hunting

◎ Peacock and Longlong started mining...◎

When the Yuli team began to hunt the strange beasts, under the snow-capped mountains, deep in the earth, in the center of the crystal clear energy stone vein, a half-meter egg floated in this narrow space, and the energy in the energy vein was continuously absorbed by the egg.

The white eggshell gradually became transparent. The creature inside the eggshell was breathing slowly and swimming unconsciously inside the egg, as if it was about to open its eyes and break out of the shell.

At this moment, the narrow space was instantly shattered. The egg floating in the air seemed to sense some terrible crisis and fell to the ground and stopped absorbing energy. The white eggshell also turned into the same crystal clear energy stone, looking no different from the surrounding mineral veins.

A mature man in black tights appeared in the mine. His scarlet eyes scanned the area, and his sharp gaze fixed on an egg in the mine that looked like the other energy stones.

Xuanye stepped forward quickly, stretched out his sharp claws and pinched the egg to prevent it from escaping. The man with deep eyebrows and eyes sensed the breath of the egg and frowned with disgust. He exerted force with his hands and wanted to crush this thing he hated. The creature in the egg seemed to sense the threat of death, and it screamed and broke out of the eggshell, stabbing straight into the man's face.

Xuanye remained calm in the face of the sharp mental attack from it. His right hand was as fast as lightning and he grabbed the insect and crushed it. Sticky white blood/liquid flowed out. He threw the broken insect corpse on the ground and took out a square handkerchief with dark patterns from his bracelet and kept wiping his left hand.

Just then, a blue-green light appeared outside the mine entrance. Fei Yuxin approached and saw Xuanye carefully wiping his left hand. He smiled and teased:

"How come even a natural planet I picked can still be plagued by insect eggs? You, the boss, have to deal with it yourself? Tsk tsk, if that doesn't work, you can just let me take over. The natural planet I choose will definitely not have so many problems."

Xuanye was unmoved by Fei Yuxin's malicious ridicule, and just calmly stated a fact: "The final cooperation with Yunchen University was a dark area."

"Heh! So what if it's a dark zone? Yu Li doesn't know anything about you now." Fei Yuxin replied sharply.

Xuanye pursed his lips after hearing this, feeling a little unhappy, but what Fei Yuxin said was indeed true.

He was busy these days, partly to arrange the affairs of the Academy's Dark Zone and Dark Star, and the other part was to prepare and take care of himself, like a dragon going to see his beloved, washing every scale on his body clean, brushing until every scale was reflective, and even worried whether the reflection of his scales would not look good or would dazzle the girl's eyes. He was a little excited but more nervous and uneasy.

"The Zerg are becoming active again." The handsome man with thick eyebrows like swords slanting into his temples chose to ignore the topic.

"How can you call it again? As far as the seven major galaxies are concerned, they have never seen these insects before. But if they are active now, it means that their insect mothers have matured and are preparing to expand outward." Fei Yuxin habitually retorted to Xuanye's words.

"Expansion..." Xuanye stroked his dense gold and black tourmaline ring, thinking for a moment. His dark red eyes lowered as he stared at the shattered limbs beneath his feet, and he said calmly, "Then the seven galaxies will no longer be as peaceful as they are now."

"So what? This star field has always been like this, destroyed, revitalized, and then destroyed again, over and over again. It's just that the lifespans of most creatures are so short that they don't even realize it." Fei Yuxin was surprised that Xuanye's calm words contained a hint of imperceptible worry, and sighed:

"You've become unlike Him. You've actually started to care about the dust that He never cared about. Is being an emperor really different?"

Xuanye's dark red animal eyes raised his head and looked at the evil and charming man as he heard this. He said in a low voice:

"We keep turning in this world, nothing will change. Perhaps it is because of these changes that He woke up and met her at the right time."

Encounter this bright and dazzling star.

"Tsk tsk, maybe." Fei Yuxin recalled some things that happened before he split into two clones, and replied in a light tone.

"Okay, I'm not interested in these things. Now that the larva is gone, I can explain it. Oh! Wait a minute, Miss Yu Li might be interested in these energy stones... After all, she is now a yellow-grade blacksmith."

The man with a charming face was about to leave when he suddenly realized something and stopped. Thinking of Yu Li's cute personality like a rat, he turned around again.

"She likes energy stones...why didn't you tell me before!" When Xuanye heard this, he thought of Fei Yuxin's previous evasive response to his question, and his calm mood became a little annoyed.

After all, he destroyed everything along the way when he entered the depths of the abyss. The energy stones that blocked his way were violently crushed into slag. These things were worthless to him and only blocked his way.

"I just thought of this. Should we start digging now?" Fei Yuxin looked at Xuanye.

"Well, what level of energy stones does she like? These energy stones look like they are basically S-level. Aren't they not enough?" Xuanye nodded, and the dark power surged out from the shadow of the tall and strong man like water, and began to cut the energy stones in the mine one by one.

"That won't happen. What blacksmiths need are energy stones of various levels. We can dig some of each." Fei Yuxin began to instruct.

While the two high-ranking men began to dig diligently, Yu Li's team had already killed white bears, snow wolves and other exotic beasts to collect the energy beads needed for their mission, and now began to do the task of Xiao Zhiping from the pharmacy department.

Yu Li, Yin Yu and four others looked at Xiao Zhiping's task description and collected an S-level exotic plant.

"As I said, our mission is not that easy! And the S-level ore later will be even more difficult!" Guo Yunzheng sighed.

Xiao Zhiping and Xia Hong scratched their heads with dry laughs. After all, their abilities were not very high and could not be of any use to the group.

"Okay, okay. After all, the instructors must know that it is not difficult for Yin Yu and I to hunt A-level monsters, so we increased the difficulty, and I really want to give it a try. It is said that there is a huge gap between A-level and S-level. I want to know how big the gap is." Yu Li patted Guo Yunzheng's shoulder and said excitedly.

"Yes, we're looking forward to it!" Yin Yu and Dabai echoed, adding, "But we should prepare well."

......

Clusters of bright, flaming flowers bloomed on the towering mountain tops. These flowers were densely packed together in an umbrella-like shape, and the roots beneath the flowers were strong, thick, short, and covered with fine, dense scales.

The fragrance emitted by the clusters of blooming stamens made the huge snow leopard that had been guarding it at the side feel a little dazed.

That red flower is the target of Yu Li and the others this time. Yin Yu asks Dabai to spin silk to surround the area not far from the snow leopard, while Guo Yunzheng summons the soul-bewitching grass to add a circle of fog on the spider silk.

Afterwards, Guo Yunzheng and the other two watched the two people's actions from a pine tree outside the circle wearing binoculars.

Just when this cluster of flowers was in full bloom, the snow leopard opened its mouth wide and wanted to swallow it in one gulp, but was intercepted by the roots that suddenly sprang out from the ground. It swallowed nothing and took in a mouthful of air.

The snow leopard's already angry mood was further stimulated by the action of the roots picking up the flowers and burying them in the ground, causing it to roar loudly.

The snow leopard raised its claws and began to dig the ground violently, but found nothing. Relying on its keen sense of smell, it discovered that the stolen flower tree was in the middle of the snow mountain. It rushed down the mountain at a high speed, but hit a spider web that had been laid out in advance like a lightning bolt.

The snow leopard's sharp claws jumped out to cut the spider web, and it shook its thick fur, trying to shake off the spider web wrapped around its body, but the spider web stuck tightly to it.

It roared again in great anger, and tiny, sharp ice particles appeared between its hair, freezing the spider web.

Yu Li raised her hand, signaling a chain of silver chains to rush towards the snow leopard, attempting to bind it. Yin Yu had Dabai assist. Chains and spider webs entangled the snow leopard, preventing it from breaking free. This made it furious, and the icicles on its head flashed.

The once clear blue sky instantly darkened. A blizzard suddenly descended at that moment, slashing at the two men like a knife, as well as the chains, spiderwebs, and trees surrounding the snow leopard. With a crackling sound, the trees and mist were instantly cleared away by the storm.

Yu Li and Yin Yu had already prepared themselves mentally, keeping a relatively large distance from each other from the start. The moment the snow leopard opened its territory, they quickly retreated from the area together. She exclaimed, "Is this S-level strength? It's truly formidable."

"Its fur is really hard." Yin Yu was also a little distressed. The white spider silk could not cut through the thick fur.

Yu Li nodded and said to Yin Yu, "Yes, but as we expected, its resistance to the toxin is not high. Let's start Plan B."

"OK." Yin Yu made a gesture. When the snow leopard began to chase the three people, Dabai acted as bait and jumped quickly among the pine forests of the snow-capped mountains, spraying/shooting spider silk from time to time to provoke them.

The focus of the snow leopard's pursuit shifted to Dabai. As he continued to run and chase, the toxins from the spider web and the mist from the Soul-Loving Grass began to affect his sturdy and powerful body. He began to see double images, making him somewhat disoriented.

The physical discomfort made him even more irritable and uncontrollable. Suddenly, the prey he was chasing in front of him seemed to have an accident and fell to the ground. The snow leopard, affected by various toxins, pounced on Dabai with great excitement and bit it fiercely, as if to vent his anger, but Dabai's figure suddenly disappeared.

The snow leopard didn't get a bite, as the inertia of its forward movement caused it to fall directly into a huge pit in front of it. The pit was clinging to countless snow-white spider webs and sharp chain ends.

The rich fragrance continued to explode as the swallowtail butterflies fluttered, stimulating the snow leopard's already keen sense of smell. It made him wail in pain and kept tearing up the spider webs around him in an attempt to jump out of the deep pit. However, the poison was too strong, making it unable to tell the direction and unable to open its eyes.

Finally, it directly launched a field of wind and snow, shredding everything around it. This fierce resistance also affected the huge amount of ice and snow piled up on the mountain. Snowflakes began to vibrate and snow rushed down like a waterfall.

The snow leopard leveled the deep pit and wanted to escape, but it could not see the road due to the poison and could only run wildly. However, the two domain expansions directly consumed a lot of its supernatural powers. In the end, it could not escape under the power of nature and was finally submerged in endless white snow.

On another mountain, the Yuli team saw all this and knew that they had succeeded. They excitedly clapped each other to celebrate the success of the plan.
