Gao Wu: Others practice martial arts, but you cultivate immortality?

......

"Routine patrol mission." In the training room, Yuan Yang looked at the terminal and spoke.

Location: Fire Mountain Range area;

Time limit: Five days;

First: Investigate for any traces of the Crystalfire Clan team;

Second: Supervising military discipline...

Let's set off immediately and get ready.

"yes!"

Everyone agreed, but there wasn't really anything to prepare.

With the Bell Tower Squad's current strength, they can basically dominate among teams of the same level!

Even though Feng Hou and Li Mengru haven't broken through yet, having three sixth-realm martial artists in a small team... what kind of treatment is that?

In theory, Wang Ying and Li Qi are already free to leave the Clock Tower Squad and create their own squad.

But they had been following Yuan Yang for a long time and were already used to it, so they didn't have any thoughts of going it alone...

This time, instead of flying directly to the mission, we took a shuttle.

After exchanging for military merits, Li Mengru also upgraded the equipment that the team would use, including the flying shuttle, which she had just exchanged.

Now that I have more money, I can afford things I couldn't buy before.

Chu Yuan was actually quite curious, as the technological strength displayed by the Ninth Legion did not match the technological strength on Earth.

While there are many things that are consistent, such as terminals, the Ninth Legion has many technologies and weapons that seem to be from a science fiction movie!

For example, the flying shuttle beneath our feet;

It is entirely silver-gray and not very large, only about four or five meters long.

But once activated, its speed is even faster than that of an ordinary fifth-realm martial artist flying!

Its protective capabilities are incredibly robust, capable of withstanding attacks head-on from a fifth-realm martial artist... even more protective than the inner armor worn by many people!

If it was made using weapon-refining techniques, Chu Yuan wouldn't be surprised;

After all, if a master craftsman were to take action, even stronger items could be created.

But this shuttle clearly shows signs of mass production everywhere...

However, Yuan Yang and the others did not know the answer either. They only knew that it had always been like this: military merits could buy everything!

With Chu Yuan joining the extermination mission in the Lianshan Secret Realm, the military merits earned have increased fivefold!

After distributing those resources, apart from Yuan Yang who received a little more, each member of the Bell Tower Squad received nearly 10,000 military merits!

Chu Yuan was stunned when he first learned of this number;

He had considered how rare military merits were, but he never imagined they would be this rare.

So, if I hadn't come, the Bell Tower Squad would have only received an average of two thousand military merits per person after completing this mission.

No wonder Pang Long's expression was so interesting when he heard that the Pang family had been punished with the loss of one million military merits...

However, this seems to further illustrate that the value of the Blood Beast clan's heritage far exceeds one's imagination...

......

"We've arrived. Let's split up."

"Me and Feng Hou are in one group, Li Qi and Wang Ying are in another, Chu Yuan and Meng Ru are in yet another... Contact us via terminal if needed, use the communication token in emergencies." Yuan Yang was concise, and after speaking, he left with Feng Hou...

Chu Yuan put away the flying shuttle... none of the other people's storage rings had such a large capacity;

Li Mengru originally wanted to exchange for a storage ring that could hold a flying shuttle, but she didn't have enough funds and had to give up...

"What should we do first?"

"First, check for any signs of Crystalfire Clan infiltration," Li Mengru said without hesitation, as if she had already planned it.

The Fireburn Mountains are located at the border between the Ninth Legion and the Crystalfire Clan's territory;

Neither side had the capacity to occupy the entire mountain range; each side controlled roughly half.

The temperature inside the mountain range is relatively high, and its entire body is fiery red. When viewed from the sky, it looks like a giant red dragon lying dormant on the earth.

The Seventh Legion and the Crystalfire Clan certainly wouldn't fight over a useless place; the Fireburning Mountains have their own value.

It is mainly a mineral called Fire Gold, which can be used to forge various weapons and equipment, and even has its own attributes, which greatly enhance the skills of martial artists who practice certain fire-attribute martial arts or techniques!

Because of this mineral deposit, the Fire Mountain Range is incredibly sturdy and extremely difficult to destroy!

Looking down, Chu Yuan could see many traces of battle, but there was none of the usual cases where an entire mountain peak had been blasted to pieces.

He followed Li Mengru and flew along the pre-arranged route, his divine sense already extended and even penetrating into the interior of the mountain.

Perhaps due to the special minerals, his divine sense did not penetrate easily, only reaching about ten kilometers into the rock strata... which is nothing for this enormous mountain range.

However, it was soon discovered that there were some scattered pieces of fire gold in the rock strata;

Even with divine sense, one can feel the warmth emanating from it.

"If we put one of these in the house, will we not need to turn on the air conditioner in winter?" Chu Yuan blurted out out of the blue.

Li Mengru looked completely bewildered, not understanding why Chu Yuan's thinking was so unconventional, but she still chimed in, "Even if you ran the air conditioner for a hundred years, the electricity you used wouldn't be enough to buy a single gram of Fire Gold..."

"It's different; this is natural heat, which is good for your health."

Air conditioning is a hot topic in technology...

"Yeah, it's too natural, it has radiation."

"..." Chu Yuan immediately abandoned the idea of ​​bringing some home;

Many things that martial artists don't need to worry about can be very dangerous for ordinary people...

He no longer paid attention to the situation inside the mountain. Although his divine sense could see the Flame Gold, he would still need to break through the rock layers to get it.

For the time being, he has no plans to mine...

After flying for about half an hour, three strangely shaped creatures appeared within his spiritual sense range;

Humanoid, tall, each over 2.5 meters tall, with two long legs and dangerously pointed toes;

Its entire body is covered with flame patterns, and there is a large, fiery red crystal between its eyebrows.

"We've discovered the Crystalfire Clan."

Li Mengru wasn't surprised and immediately asked seriously, "Which direction?"

Chu Yuan pointed to the left front: "This way, eighty kilometers."

"Can you determine their strength?"

"One at the fifth realm, two at the fourth realm."

Li Mengru relaxed. She had great confidence in Chu Yuan's mental strength. Since he was so certain, he shouldn't be wrong.

"Let's go, kill them!"

......

"Captain, isn't the mission deadline approaching?"

"Hmm, we haven't obtained any valuable information yet..."

"Anyway, I've collected quite a bit of Flame Gold, so it's not a loss."

Upon hearing this, the crystal between the brows of the tallest member of the Crystalfire Clan flashed, and his tone became much more relaxed: "That's true, but... never mind, let's go back."

The other two Crystalfire Clan members relaxed;

The captain teased one of them, "Yan Te, Ye Ci is in a hurry to go back and get married, what's your rush?"

"I'm afraid of dying, hehe~"

None of the three Crystal Fire Clan members noticed that a seven-colored ripple was spreading in the void...
