Chapter 356: Earth Vein Envoy
The Middle East is shrouded in black fog, and you can't see your hand in front of you. The desert of the past has long since turned into a frosty ice field.
The temperature was at least minus 90 degrees Celsius. An ice mound tens of meters high stood quietly, and inside it was a nest of "Star Rift Beasts".
The reason why Li Xiang came here was for this nest of special space beasts.
Because he found that killing this kind of beast would give him a high probability of getting a space gem as a reward. And space gems are very rare and precious.
Correspondingly, there are relatively few of these "Star Rift Beasts", both in terms of population size and the number of individuals within a population.
However, its average strength is also relatively high.
For example, this nest of "Star Skeleton Rift Beasts" has only thirty-seven members, but there are four Saint-level ones and sixteen above level fifteen.
The carapace of this strange beast looks like a blue and white frost sculpture, and the nebula patterns at the joints have sharp icy bone spurs growing on them. It's actually very beautiful in terms of appearance.
Li Xiang's earth escape spiritual light caused faint earth-yellow ripples deep underground. The Nine Netherworld Breaking Delusion Eyes penetrated the ice layer tens of meters thick and locked onto the positions of the four holy-level beasts.
"It's a pity that they live in an ice cave instead of a rock cave or an earth nest, otherwise the cave would collapse directly." Li Xiang's eyes flashed and he sighed in his heart.
However, this kind of beast is very powerful, even if the cave collapses, it will not bury them. So let's just attack directly.
After all, Li Xiang is now at level 26, and his various attributes are abnormal, especially his speed, which exceeds that of many god-level masters.
The only martial arts in the world that cannot be defeated is speed.
Fast, too fast, Li Xiang appeared on top of one of the holy-level monsters as if he had teleported. The sharp spear of the white jade golden hook stick was wrapped with 26th-level spiritual energy and a huge force of 1.5 million pounds, and it stabbed fiercely into the weak spot on its neck.
One strike kills, it's that sharp! The pale blue blood of the beast splattered on the ice, and corrosive steam rose.
"Roar!" The other three holy-level beasts reacted and pounced on Li Xiang.
The aftermath of the battle caused the ice cave to collapse, and the strange beasts below the Saint level fled. If they ran a little slower, they would be killed by the residual force of Li Xiang's white jade gold hook stick.
Below the Saint level, if you touch it, you will die, if you touch it, you will die.
The rewards of achievement points, spiritual medicines and extraordinary items kept popping up in his mind, but Li Xiang had no time to pay attention to them. His exquisite stick skills were both hard and soft. His body moved left and right, up and down at a speed of 80 Mach. Each time he "teleported", he traveled hundreds of meters. He was so agile that it seemed as if there were dozens of Li Xiangs attacking him at the same time.
About three minutes later, the three holy beasts fell to the ground one after another with unwilling roars.
"If it weren't for the Space Gem, I wouldn't kill you. It would be great to take you as my spirit beasts." Li Xiang's "Beast Tamer·Canglin Yin" still has many "conferred" positions, and he is eager to recruit talented people, and there are vacancies waiting for them.
Li Xiang then attacked and killed some of the Star Skeleton Fissure Beasts that had not yet escaped far. This time, he obtained a total of three space gems. Not every Star Skeleton Fissure Beast will reward a space gem, but the probability is relatively higher.
Soon, three bracelets were successfully refined, with the space gems shining brightly inlaid on them, and the inner space of each bracelet was as large as eight or nine hundred cubic meters. Li Xiang put the corpses of these strange beasts in them, some of which could be given to Jiang Caier for research, and some useless materials could be used as fertilizer.
As for eating it, it's really not good. The meat of space monsters is rarely delicious. The meat is extremely sour and rough, and it is impossible to swallow. If there is a choice, no one will eat this kind of thing.
Although the taste of super rice is bad, it is extremely delicious compared to the meat of this space monster.
The corpse was icy cold to the bone, and its body contained extremely rich icy spiritual power. Li Xiang had an idea: "Perhaps, the corpse of this strange beast can be used to cultivate more cold-resistant crop varieties, or even ice-type spiritual seeds. This requires Xue Qing to play to her strengths."
In the following days, Li Xiang searched the world for this kind of Star Rift Beast. If he encountered a large-scale attack on the underground city by alien beasts, he would also step forward to help, often by decapitation. After killing the Saint-level leader, he would move freely in the army of alien beasts as if he was in an empty space. Wherever he passed, the alien beasts flew around like a harvester harvesting rice, making the soldiers and civilians in the underground city cheer: "That's Li Sheng coming to support us!"
This boosted morale.
Li Xiang is fast and has the abilities of invisibility and earth escape, so he can appear and disappear at will and protect himself with ease.
Ten days later, he collected thirty-six space gems, and Li Xiang refined them all into bracelets with numbers engraved on them, namely "Earth Vein Thoroughfare No. 01-36".
Today, the whole world is frozen, and the surface is occupied by a large number of space monsters. The trade between countries and even underground cities has been interrupted, but people still need to share what they have and help each other. Therefore, Li Xiang plans to recruit extraordinary people with earth escape abilities to form 36 transport teams to take on the responsibility of global logistics and trade again.
In addition, some high-yield crop seeds cultivated by Zhao Xueqing can also take this opportunity to be sent to various dungeons for sharing.
Previously, we didn’t have enough large space gems, so we put it on hold for the time being. Now that we have collected thirty-six of them, we can start working on this matter.
Shen Wen Qian is responsible for the qualification review of extraordinary people for advancement and is quite familiar with the database of extraordinary people. Li Xiang decides to entrust the task of "recruiting talents" to her.
Li Xiang flashed and arrived in France. Irene's base was also being attacked by space monsters.
From a distance, Li Xiang saw black fog swirling in the sky above Irene's castle. Suddenly, the darkness was torn apart by three streams of purple-red energy, and three giant monsters with bodies as crystal clear as diamonds descended from the cracks.
It feels very oppressive.
They resemble a fusion of scorpions and bats, with a body length of more than 500 meters. Prismatic space crystals grow on the joints of their articulations, and the stingers on their tails continuously release shock waves that distort the air - this is none other than the holy-level beast "Void Crystal Beast". Its shell can refract energy attacks, and the shock waves from its tail can cause local space collapse.
On Li Xiang's way here, he also noticed that several French underground cities had been destroyed, and the remaining energy was extremely consistent with this strange beast.
Obviously, this is a good fighting army.
However, Irene's strength is also extraordinary.
On the surface, a hundred thousand alchemical puppets were divided into three waves to meet the attack: the first wave of heavy-armored puppets holding alchemical tower shields formed a honeycomb formation, and the hexagram array that appeared on the shield surface offset the shock wave; the second wave of magic puppets suspended in the air shot "annihilation rays" from their eye sockets, and the purple-black beams burned scorch marks on the shells of the crystal beasts; the third wave of self-destructive puppets rushed towards the beasts like a silver torrent, and the exploding alchemical flames were mixed with space confinement runes.
The three-hundred-meter-long magic alchemy ship "Starry Wings" unfolded its hull in mid-air, and the "Arcane Focusing Prism" on the bow gathered a blazing white light ball with a diameter of fifty meters. This is a magical cannon developed by combining classical magic alchemy with modern technology, and it has amazing power.
As Irene pressed the crystal control console in the command room, the light ball exploded into tens of thousands of tracking beams, piercing dozens of level 15 crystal larvae that tried to launch a sneak attack from behind, turning them into crystal fragments all over the sky.
However, the three holy-level crystal-splitting beasts suddenly crossed their tail spikes to form a triangular space barrier, which actually bounced back all of the alchemy ship's second round of "Comet Burst Cannons". The three heavily-armored puppet phalanxes were instantly melted into molten iron by their own artillery fire.
In Irene's base, several children were eager to help their mother, but were stopped by Shen Wenqian. She hugged the children and told them not to be impulsive: "It's too tragic outside. If you go out, you will be in danger."
“I hope mom can keep it.”
"Where's Dad? Why hasn't Dad come yet? Isn't he the strongest man on Earth?"
Shen Wenqian: "Your father may be busy with other things. There are so many strange beasts around the world, and so many dungeons are under attack. He is fighting fires everywhere..."
"When you're putting out fires everywhere, shouldn't you save your home first?"
Just when Shen Wen Qian didn't know how to answer, a powerful and mysterious armored man appeared outside.
Li Xiang was wearing the Giant Whale Holy Armor and holding the iconic white jade gold hook stick. With a flash of his body, he reached a speed of 80 Mach, and appeared on the flank of the battlefield as if he had teleported. Here, a crystal-breaking beast was using its front claws to tear open the shield of the alchemy ship.
Li Xiang kicked the crystal-splitting beast away. His eyes glowed with golden light. His Nine Netherworld-breaking Eyes penetrated through the heavy black fog and the obstruction of the strange beasts and directly locked onto the core of the herd - the crystal-splitting beast leader with a dark red star core embedded in its tail thorns.
"Boom~"
The white jade golden hook rod wrapped with the twenty-sixth level spiritual energy chopped down fiercely, and the rod shadow split into thousands, smashing the leader's star core like a galaxy pouring down. Before the other two crystal-breaking beasts could react, Li Xiang had already flashed to their backs, pressing the power of "earth vein vibration" with both palms, layer upon layer, ninety-nine and eighty-one layers, the majestic and surging earth-type vibration spiritual power disintegrated their space crystal skeletons from the inside.
The beasts without a commander fell into chaos. Irene seized the opportunity to activate the bottom cabin of the alchemy ship. Three hundred assassin-type puppets equipped with "Phase Folding Blades" swarmed out. The silver blade lights intertwined into a death web, cutting the remaining beasts into regular crystal blocks.
When the last crystal-splitting beast was reduced to dust by the alchemy ship's magical artillery fire, Li Xiang put away his stick and stepped on the still squirming remains of the crystal beast towards the alloy gate of the castle's dungeon.
"Dad is here!" Clemens jumped up, her face beaming with joy.
"Dad is so brave!" Leocadi waved his little arms and shouted exaggeratedly.
"Dad, we love you!" Aurelie and Sonia had stars in their eyes.
The children were so excited that they couldn't describe their feelings. Shen Wen Qian's mouth curled up, thinking to herself, "Brother scumbag cousin, if you don't show up, I don't know how to explain it to the children."
Li Xiang entered the castle and several children rushed over. Li Xiang opened his arms and hugged two children in one arm. He kissed each child several times, then walked towards Irene and Shen Wenqian with a smile.
"Mr. Armor, you are finally here." Irene was relieved. Just now, she really felt that she could not hold on, and she suffered heavy losses in this battle. At least 80% of the alchemy puppets were destroyed. It took a long time to accumulate. If she wanted to refine it again, she didn't know how long it would take.
Moreover, the world is unstable now, so she didn't dare to have children easily. Originally, she planned to have six more children, but she can only do so later.
Shen Wenqian came over and took the children away, leaving the space for the "couple" who hadn't seen each other for a long time. Well, they can only be a couple, they are not married.
Li Xiang picked up Irene and sank deep into the ground. The short separation was better than a new marriage.
As for the aftermath, Shen Wenqian and Irene's senior and middle-level managers will clean it up.
Irene's base is managed in a group and company-like manner. Each department has its own responsibilities. Even if the boss is not there temporarily, they can still operate independently. This is because her company is not a new one, but a family-inherited industry. Most of the employees have been working there for more than 10 years, and many families have worked there for generations. The most valuable assets of the company are these loyal and capable old employees.
After six hours, Irene finally let Li Xiang go. After having sex with Li Xiang, she had risen to the 22nd level.
Of course, the reason for her upgrade was not entirely due to the dual cultivation with Li Xiang, but also due to her own talent as well as her usual hard work and accumulation.
"Wait for me, I'll be back soon." Li Xiang put on his clothes, covered himself with the Giant Whale Holy Armor, and left again.
Because Irene's side was weak, Li Xiang wanted to "seize" a few "fake soldiers" for her.
He was familiar with stalking and ambushing in France, Germany, Italy and other countries in Europe, so one day later, six armies of alien beasts returned to Irene's base.
Inside the base, in front of the radar screen, the executives and middle managers of the Irene Family Group fell into despair. Before, they only had one alien beast army with only 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers, and they suffered heavy losses. Now, there are eight or nine Saint-level alien beasts and more than 300,000 alien beasts. How can they resist?
Even if that Li Sheng was still there, it would probably be difficult to resist. And it is said that that Li Sheng has left.
However, Irene soon sent a message: "Don't worry, they are all our friendly forces. They will protect us in the future."
"What?"
"Oh my god, what's going on?"
Executives, middle managers and other employees were all shocked.
In the inner city of the base, several children once again hung on Li Xiang like small pendants and refused to come down.
"Dad, is this your masterpiece?"
"Dad, how did you do it?" the children asked.
Li Xiang laughed and boasted to the children: "It's just a trivial trick. I just controlled the leader of the alien beasts. Don't worry, you don't have to worry about your safety with the protection of more than 300,000 alien beasts."
"Dad, can you stay here with us for a few more days?" Aurelie had brilliant blonde hair and delicate features, almost a replica of Irene.
Li Xiang smiled helplessly and patted his eldest daughter's head: "The situation outside is chaotic, and Dad still has a lot of things to do."
Irene smiled and said, "At least you should have dinner with the children before you leave."
Li Xiang nodded.
Soon, the alchemy servants filed in and served a variety of exquisite French delicacies.
Li Xiang accompanied Irene and the children for dinner, and also talked with his cousin Shen Wenqian about recruiting "Earth Vein Envoys".
Shen Wenqian pulled up the database of extraordinary people and showed it to Li Xiang: "There are quite a lot of earth-type extraordinary people, and many of them are good at earth escape. I will send them an email now."
Li Xiang nodded, and then talked about the number of people to be recruited as well as the salary and benefits of the position. Shen Wen Qian drafted a detailed recruitment letter, and after showing it to Li Xiang, she sent it to the target persons one by one.
During this process, the children watched quietly, their blue eyes full of admiration.
Although this meal was mixed with work, it was still a very warm and cozy one.
After dinner, Li Xiang also took some time to play games with the children and gave them some guidance on their practice.
Of course, my cousin also gave me some advice.
