Chapter 71 Rescue
One day later.
Wang Jinyang has fully recovered, and the three of them are preparing to return home. The trip has been quite fruitful.
"Lu Hao, Lao Wang, this time when we go back, we can cultivate with unlimited resources. I also know a good place with even more resources, and there are no high-grade items there. If we go there again, we can earn all the resources we have."
Qin Fengqing said as he hurried over. This operation had shown him the benefits, ten or even dozens of times better than what he could gain by himself alone, and there was also a considerable guarantee of safety.
So he's already planning where to go for his next mission. He remembers there's a place with dozens of fifth-grade demon beasts.
"What's the rush? The gains from this trip are enough for us to digest for a while. We can come back later," Wang Jinyang said.
"Let's hurry up. Since we can speed up our cultivation, we should do so as quickly as possible, reach the high-level cultivation sooner, and deal with new enemies sooner. Don't be stingy; we can always earn more money back later."
Lu Hao advised, "After all, the great era of the future will only begin in two years. If you don't hurry up and become stronger, it will be useless to accumulate more resources."
"That's right, Lu Hao is right. Using more resources now will allow us to reach higher ranks sooner and acquire even more resources."
Otherwise, if you grow slowly and sluggishly, the resources will have already been exhausted by the enemy. Think more about how fast you can become stronger and your goals.
Qin Fengqing continued, "This time, because it took a long time, the energy stones that were originally three or four pounds were reduced to just over one pound."
Qin Fengqing didn't want to encounter this situation again, so when she got back, she used a lot of credits to become stronger through pay-to-win methods, so that she could acquire more resources and thus create a positive cycle.
Wang Jinyang thought about his mentor who was trapped in the Tiannan Cave and Nini at home. He knew he would definitely have to go into the Tiannan Cave to find his mentor, and he wouldn't be able to do it without strong combat power.
"Alright, this time I won't be frugal anymore. I'll focus all my efforts on cultivation. With the credits, I should be able to reach the middle stage of the fourth rank."
Once the bridge between heaven and earth is fully constructed, our strength will increase significantly, and then we can go down and collect resources.
Wang Jinyang said.
"That's more like it. Since you've earned credits, you're going to use them. What's the point of just saving them if you don't use them? You'll just have wasted your credits if you die someday."
Before long, the three of them returned to the meat grinder. The familiar smell of blood and the blood-red ground were still there.
Heading south.
……
"Teacher, are we going to die?"
In the meat grinder, Ji Tianlei asked his mentor, "This is my first time going down into the underground cave."
He was just an ordinary student at Wuhan University, not one of the top two universities. He was considered an above-average student at the university, and this year was his graduation year.
Having reached the third rank, they learned of the existence of the underground cave, and then the school organized a trial here, which also served as their graduation exam.
But once they arrived, Ji Tianlei discovered that the place was far more brutal than described in the information. On their first trip within thirty miles to familiarize themselves with the environment, they were ambushed by a team of third-grade underground martial artists.
Fortunately, with the guidance of a fourth-grade instructor, they were able to win the battle. This was also his first time coming into contact with death. Although it wasn't the first time he had seen blood, this time he was much closer.
In the following days, he familiarized himself with the environment at a distance of 30 kilometers and did not encounter any more enemies. This made Ji Tianlei feel much more relaxed, and he decided to enter society as a Qi and Blood Martial Artist after graduation.
After all, not everyone can face life and death with such composure. I will find a way to complete the subsequent underground missions and will not risk coming down here again on my own.
Just when Ji Tianlei thought their underground adventure was about to end, they encountered a group of monsters at the edge of the cave thirty kilometers away.
A fourth-grade demonic beast as the leader, three third-grade beasts, seven second-grade beasts, and dozens of first-grade demonic beasts.
Logically speaking, there shouldn't be this many monsters in this location, but no one knows why this group of monsters appeared here.
However, he did appear and spotted Ji Tianlei and his group immediately, so the battle began. Ji Tianlei's small team only had this mentor who was at the fourth rank, and then there were five third-rank members, including Ji Tianlei.
They're now facing off against demonic beasts, but they're not the two prodigies of the top tier; they're just ordinary third-rank martial artists. It's already quite impressive that they can withstand demonic beasts of the same rank.
Let alone killing them, under the siege of the remaining second-grade demonic beasts, they fought their way north and gradually entered the meat grinder.
It is also quite difficult for the mentor to deal with fourth-grade demonic beasts, since the fourth-grade demonic beasts have very thick hides, and the mentor's weapons cannot penetrate their defenses at all, they can only defend against them.
But in the current situation, if they encounter underground warriors in the meat grinder, they're completely doomed.
"No, hang in there. There are human martial artists in the meat grinder too. If you encounter them, you can be saved."
Feng Lixuan said that he knew in fact that their chances of being rescued were slim. Even if they encountered human martial artists here, they would mostly be fighting against underground martial artists and would not be able to spare any time to fight.
In fact, he knew that the most likely outcome for them here was encountering underground martial artists, which would certainly mean their deaths.
However, he also needs to encourage the students, otherwise, once they despair, they will have no hope at all.
Feng Lixuan was doing his best to fend off the fourth-grade demonic beast in front of him. He wished he had encountered a fellow underground martial artist of the same rank; the demonic beast's hide was simply too thick.
He could only defend himself, unable to break through the defenses at all. If this continued, his life force would be depleted, and he would die.
"Old Qin, make your move."
Just then, Feng Lixuan heard a young man shouting from behind.
……
Lu Hao and his two companions were on their way back to exchange for academic credits when they saw a group of demonic beasts attacking human martial artists.
"Should we save her or not?"
Lu Hao glanced at the two people beside him and asked.
"Let's save them. They're all human, and they look bad. Their opponents are easy to deal with," Wang Jinyang said.
"Okay, let's go then."
Lu Hao stepped forward and slashed at the strongest fourth-grade demon beast, creating a sizable wound with a single strike.
Feng Lixuan, who was standing to the side, was shocked. After all, he had been attacking for so long and knew better than anyone how strong the opponent's defense was. Yet, this young man had broken through the defense with a single strike.
This is normal for Lu Hao, after all, his weapon is a B-grade alloy and he has a burst of blood energy, it would be strange if he didn't suffer any damage.
Without hesitation, Lu Hao continued to slash at the fourth-grade demonic beast, one strike after another. After four more strikes, the fourth-grade demonic beast was finally dead. It was only a low-level fourth-grade demonic beast.
[Killed an enemy, kill points +1357]
For Lu Hao now, it's a very simple matter.
Meanwhile, Qin Fengqing had also finished killing all the remaining third-grade demonic beasts, while Wang Jinyang remained vigilant, preventing any sudden appearance of underground warriors.
