Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 259 Going into battle
"A detection compass? It can detect anyone's movements?"

Ji Fuyou couldn't help but be somewhat surprised: "Such a strange object exists?"

"Correct."

Zhang Luocheng nodded slightly: "As long as we take Zhu He's usual items and activate the detection compass, we will be able to pinpoint his location."

After saying that, he added, "Of course, almost all artifacts only work in fog-shrouded areas, so the object being probed must be in the fog."

Zhu He and his entourage...

They hid in the mist.

"However, Master Gu is always elusive, making it extremely difficult for ordinary people to contact him. Occasionally, some people manage to get his contact number and send him messages, but he almost always reads them and doesn't reply..."

At this point, Zhang Luocheng glanced at Ji Fuyou and said, "Master Ji, like Master Gu, is a spiritual master, and he also has the legendary feat of slaying Zhu Long. I imagine that if you send a message to Master Gu for help, Master Gu will definitely give you face."

"Let me try."

Ji Fuyou responded, but he couldn't guarantee it.

He quickly sent a message to Gu Qing.

then……

Stone sinks into the sea.

At that moment, Ji Fuyou glanced at the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes: "Wait three more days. After three days, regardless of the outcome, we must lift the blockade on the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes."

Zhang Luocheng, Zhou Xiantian, Yang Kaitai, and Liu Yiren nodded.

Among the group, Yang Kaitai and Liu Yiren were naturally acting on Ji Fuyou's orders.

As for Zhang Luocheng and Zhou Xiantian...

They were mortal enemies with Zhu Long.

Once Zhu He is released, if he can't retaliate against Ji Fuyou, he's very likely to retaliate against them, which is why they are so concerned about this matter.

“I’ll keep an eye on Dragon Head Town. You all go to the Death Rift Valley.”

Ji Fuyou turned towards Yang Kaitai.

"Either Captain Yang takes his men there, and I'll stay in Longshou Town."

Liu Yiren said.

"No need. During this time, the four master-level martial artists, Guan Yue, Liu Zhixuan, Fang Qiyun, and Xiao Hanxue, have stabilized the order in Longshou Town. Furthermore, even after you leave, Guan Yue and Liu Zhixuan will be there to oversee things, so there won't be any trouble."

Ji Fuyou Road.

Guan Yue and Liu Zhixuan were both considered veteran high-level martial artists, and with Ji Fuyou's red physique source crystal following suit, they both successfully advanced to the master level.

Although he was just an ordinary master-level martial artist, he was barely capable of guarding Dragon Head Town.

He turned his gaze to Yang Kaitai: "For the next period of time, you need to focus on practicing Soul Explosion. It should be within the next month or two. I will provide you with an opportunity to break through to the Spirit Master level."

In the next month or two, there will be an opportunity to challenge the masters of the spiritual realm!?
Upon hearing this, not only Yang Kaitai, but also Liu Yiren, Zhang Luocheng, and Zhou Xiantian were all wide-eyed.

A spiritual master!
This is a chance to become a spiritual master!

"Captain, I..."

"Go."

As Ji Fuyou spoke, he glanced at the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes again: "After you leave, I'll take a look and see if Zhu He has any tricks up his sleeve to try and escape from the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes."

Yang Kaitai nodded emphatically after hearing this.

After Yang Kaitai and Liu Yiren left, Ji Fuyou turned to Zhang Luocheng and Zhou Xiantian and said, "It's up to you two to keep an eye on things here. If Zhu He appears, notify me immediately. If I go into the mist, contact Ji Qingqing. She will send me a message through the Heavenly Horn."

"Yes."

Zhang Luocheng and Zhou Xiantian nodded.

Their concern for Zhu He and his group was no less than that for Ji Fuyou.

After giving his instructions, Ji Fuyou returned to his residence in Longshou Town.

What he just said—that after discovering Zhu He's group, he had Ji Qingqing send him a message through the Heavenly Horn—was not just empty talk.

Just as he had guessed, He Jinglan and his group couldn't get anywhere with him, so they turned their attention to Ji Qingqing.

Although Ji Qingqing kept her mission in mind and refused to accept other positions that would take her far away from Xingguang City, she was still given the title of advisor to the Southern Special Forces.

This title won't force her to deal with a particular fog crisis, nor will it affect her daily life, but it will bring all sorts of hidden benefits.

In Ji Fuyou's view, the most important thing was that he had diverted a portion of his spirit into the Heavenly Horn.

Although Ji Fuyou knew that He Jinglan and the others had Ji Qingqing's spirit engraved into the Heavenly Horn so that they could contact him when necessary.

With this access, even if he, Yang Kaitai, Fang Qiyun, and others entered the fog, Ji Qingqing could still relay messages about what happened outside.

The reason Ji Fuyou is so confident that he can get Yang Kaitai and the others to leave, and even leave on his own, is because once Zhu He appears, he can directly reach the exit of the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes through the Void Teleportation Authority.

As long as Zhang Luocheng, Zhou Xiantian, Guan Yue, and Liu Zhixuan can hold off Zhu He's team for even a short while, they will have absolutely no chance of survival.

……

Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

Zhu He has not shown up in these three days.

Out of consideration for the interests of Ten Thousand Snake Valley, or rather to give Zhu He hope, Ji Fuyou did not blockade Ten Thousand Snake Valley anymore, but instead opened up access to it.

However, although the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes had opened, Ji Fuyou himself had not left Dragon Head Town. He had simply concealed his aura and hidden his whereabouts.

At this very moment, good news finally came from Yang Kaitai and his team.

A giant mutated centipede has been found!

……

Ji Fuyou did not show up.

Having mastered the true form of the Overlord, Xiao Hanxue's overall strength, while not comparable to his strength when he first killed the mutated giant centipede, was still enough to withstand this monster.

In addition, there are Yang Kaitai, Fang Qiyun, Liu Yiren...

With the help of Falcon, the four of them eventually managed to kill the monster.

Three days later, Yang Kaitai and Liu Yiren returned to Longshou Town.

Those who were secretly observing the situation in Longshou Town witnessed this scene and were naturally startled.

Ji Fuyou's team had only been gone for a few days when they returned.

what does this mean?
This means they deliberately left for a while to see who would misbehave. If those people happened to jump out at that moment, they would run straight into the line of fire of Ji Fuyou's team.

For a moment, the atmosphere in Longshou Town seemed to become more harmonious.

……

"Captain, after I came back, I made a special trip to the laboratory and completed the refining of this venom."

Liu Yiren immediately handed over the container of the refined venom.

"Okay, thank you for your thoughtfulness."

Ji Fuyou put it away.

Although he still hasn't figured out a way to counter the enhanced Fonfolk, the arrival of Venom means that half the problem is solved.

"Compared to the captain's help to us, a dose of Venom is nothing."

Liu Yiren smiled.

Yang Kaitai also took out three blue spirit source crystals and one red spirit source crystal: "Captain, these are the spoils we obtained from killing the mutated giant centipede. I heard that you have been training Lu Chang'an, a weapon refiner, recently? Give these source crystals to him and raise his spirit value as soon as possible."

Ji Fuyou pondered for a moment and took the blue spiritual source crystal: "I'll take this one, but you can use the red spiritual source crystal first. He can't cultivate divine sense with just one red spiritual source crystal."

Seeing this, Yang Kaitai did not insist.

As originally agreed, he immediately used the red spiritual source crystal.

"We've collected the venom. Shall we continue towards the Daylight Forest?"

Yang Kaitai inquired.

Ji Fuyou pondered for a moment and nodded: "Let's rest for one night and then go. I'll contact you again when there are other operations."

"it is good."

The group agreed.

……

Having completed the preparations for poisoning and strengthening the cult leader, Ji Fuyou felt much more relaxed.

No longer needing to concern himself with the Great Rift Valley, his focus in the dream gradually shifted to the ruins of Yindu.

Whether it was because they had spent enough time in the ruins of Yindu, or because their luck had finally turned around.

In this dream, he was disoriented for a while in the array area on the fifth floor of the Yindu Ruins, when suddenly everything went blank.

A tomb chamber almost entirely devoid of boar-men suddenly appeared before our eyes.

Even though he was in a dream, this strangeness still made Ji Fuyou pause slightly.

"This is……"

He glanced around.

This tomb has only one exit.

He quickly activated the deflection field and walked towards the exit.

As he stepped out of the exit, the surroundings suddenly changed.

It wasn't just another labyrinthine tomb, but...

An underground hall.

A hall inhabited by many boar-men.

That's not the main point. The main point is that in the very center of the underground hall, there is a passageway that seems to lead directly to a lower level.

"I've found my way out of that maze!?"

Ji Fuyou was filled with astonishment.

He had no idea how many times he had been trapped in the maze, but this time, he finally made it out.

"Roar!"

Ji Fuyou's sudden intrusion naturally provoked the fury of these boar-men, who roared and charged at him.

But Ji Fuyou ignored these boar-men and quickly took out a small booklet.

The image above clearly shows the direction he took when entering the maze.

He didn't know the correct way to navigate the maze, but he would write down the process each time.

at the moment……

Persistence pays off, and we finally made it through the maze.

After memorizing the maze's path from the booklet, Ji Fuyou began clearing out the boar-men in the hall.

Dozens of boar-men, along with some other monsters, were quickly wiped out by him.

Then, he quickly went to the passage leading to a deeper underground level and jumped down.

As he leaped, his inner eye activated, revealing a path 1300 meters ahead...

As his mental scale increased, his Mind's Eye, with a detection range of 1500 meters, quickly swept across this underground space.

The first thing that catches the eye...

Pale Boar Man.

A large number of pale boar-men.

Although there were still a few ordinary boarmen and a large number of large moths scattered among them, Ji Fuyou's eyes were immediately drawn to these pale boarmen.

These monsters are all treasures!

In theory, they can provide at least one red physique source crystal.

And the pale boar-men he had spotted were far more than twenty or thirty of them!
in other words……

After eliminating these pale boar-men, he can obtain at least twenty or thirty red physique source crystals.

After his mind's eye reflected the numerous pale boar-men, a monster, entirely black and exuding a fierce aura, resembling both a snake and a dragon, leaped into view.

The aura of this monster...

More powerful than the Pale Boarman.
