Chapter 1215: Picking Up a Bargain
Chapter 1215: Picking Up a Bargain
The people from the Shengjing, Northwest, and Northeast regions quickly withdrew.
Their main commanders were severely injured and could no longer fight, leaving the battlefield to be handled by superhumans like Zhang Yi from the Jiangnan Region.
At this mont, Hua Hua was also quite injured, having fought against three powerful giant Ground Centipedes.
Old You, Fatty Xu, and Deng Shentong weren't in much better shape either, having narrowly escaped death several tis.
Fortunately, Li Yangyang from the Shengjing Region ca to support at a critical mont, preventing Fatty Xu from being eaten by a Ground Centipede.
But with Zhang Yi back, all problems ceased to be problems.
Zhang Yi stood in mid-air, looking down at the terrifyingly nurous Ground Centipede swarm.
They were roaring frantically. Sensing the deaths of the Broodmother and the King Worm, they had now gone completely berserk, ready to fight the invaders to the death!
Zhang Yi watched them coldly. Thousands of Dinsional Gates from his Manifold Phenona ability directly sealed off the space before him.
A large number of Ground Centipedes charged straight into the Dinsional Gates. The remaining centipedes, seeing this, imdiately halted and began attacking with long-range thods. However, to Zhang Yi, these attacks were like mud oxen entering the sea, not raising a single ripple.
A massive void vortex appeared behind Zhang Yi.
He didn't use a weapon. Instead, he slowly raised the index finger of his right hand.
A sphere of darkness rapidly coalesced at his fingertip.
Zhang Yi used his hand like a gun, aiming at the vast, empty abyss below.
"Bang!"
He whispered.
The next mont, that black sphere swiftly plumted downward. In the blink of an eye, it filled the entire abyss, rotating with a thunderous roar as it fell like a colossal celestial body!
Piteous shrieks continuously rose from the depths of the abyss, but they vanished after a short while.
The abyss before them beca empty and silent. With just one strike, Zhang Yi had settled everything here.
For Deng Shentong and the others, this scene left them utterly dumbfounded.
Although they understood in their hearts how formidable the power of an Epsilon-level being was, every ti they witnessed Zhang Yi take action, they couldn't help feeling deeply stirred inside, the ripples taking a long ti to settle.
Deng Shentong looked at Zhang Yi, his eyes full of yearning and anticipation.
"If only I could beco an Epsilon-level too," he silently thought.
Hovering in the air, Zhang Yi looked at Fatty Xu and the others, his brow slightly furrowed.
Now that he had cald down, he realized so people seed to be missing.
Liang Yue was gone, and Totoro was also nowhere to be seen.
When the White Snake appeared, Zhang Yi was so stunned he montarily forgot to keep track of it.
But that creature originally ca from Star Island and seed to have countless connections to the mysterious underground world, so it probably wouldn't be in any danger.
"Where's Liang Yue?" Zhang Yi asked.
Old You replied, "Not long ago, she went chasing after a Ground Centipede. We haven't been able to contact her since."
Just then, Liang Yue's crisp, silver-bell-like voice sounded from the side.
"I'm fine."
She walked out from a cave in the rock wall, her eyes looking towards Zhang Yi.
Seeing her severed left arm, Zhang Yi imdiately flew over.
"I told you not to act impulsively. Staying by Hua Hua's side, how did you get so badly injured fighting together?"
As he spoke, Zhang Yi had Jingwei open her Shadow Space for Liang Yue and the others to enter and rest.
Liang Yue wasn't in a hurry to go in. Instead, she walked over to Zhang Yi. She cautiously glanced around before lowering her voice and saying to him:
"I killed soone from the Northwest Region."
Zhang Yi nodded. "Hmm, killed them, then. It's done."
Zhang Yi didn't even ask Liang Yue why she killed that person.
Liang Yue was sowhat speechless. "Aren't you going to ask who I killed, or why I killed her?"
Zhang Yi said, "You're not the type to stir up trouble for no reason. So, the person you killed must have deserved it."
Having spent so much ti together, Zhang Yi naturally understood Liang Yue's temperant.
Liang Yue briefly recounted what happened.
"Oh, cleaned up thoroughly?" Zhang Yi asked indifferently.
"The body is destroyed. I made it look like she was killed by a Ground Centipede," Liang Yue said.
Zhang Yi nodded. "Then there's no problem! Don't worry. With all the fighting and killing here, Li Changgong himself almost got taken out. He can't make a fuss over losing one or two subordinates."
"Go and heal in peace. Leave the rest to ."
Zhou Ke'er had already co over, carefully tending to Liang Yue's injuries.
The severed arm was still there, so what looked like a very severe injury wasn't actually that difficult to handle.
Zhou Ke'er quickly administered dication to Liang Yue, then used her [Doctor] ability to perfectly reconnect every muscle, nerve, and even blood vessel.
Zhang Yi had everyone enter Jingwei's Shadow Space to rest and recuperate, while he still had things to do.
Yang Xinxin wore a look of understanding; she knew Zhang Yi would definitely seize the opportunity to gain so benefits.
And underground here, Elental Stone veins were everywhere. Zhang Yi could collect them freely.
Indeed, that's exactly what Zhang Yi did.
He began extensively mining ore underground. The volu of his Dinsional Space was far too vast. If Zhang Yi wished, he could even collect the entire Elental Stone vein.
However, one shouldn't be too extre. Zhang Yi only mined about a dozen small-mountain-sized piles of ore before stopping.
Next, he flew downward.
After all, the Elental Stone vein was just raw ore. There was a refined version—the bodies of those Ground Centipedes.
These creatures could actually devour the Elental Stone vein to enhance their power, so their bodies contained extrely high-intensity energy.
Especially so squad leader-level Ground Centipedes. Once killed, they were the best supplents for boosting the strength of one's companions. Zhang Yi wouldn't miss out on those.
Zhang Yi was always frugal, never wasting a single grain of rice. So, he carefully cleaned up the battlefield.
The Ground Centipede corpses also piled up into several small mountains. There were simply too many. Zhang Yi collected them all in one go.
He wasn't in a hurry to leave. There was actually another purpose for choosing to stay: he wanted to wait for Totoro.
He didn't know if that creature could still make it back.
After waiting for a while, Zhang Yi heard a familiar cry in his ear.
The thick rock layer was chiseled open. Totoro's familiar figure crawled out from underground. Looking adorably clumsy, it held a purple energy crystal in its arms and ran over with a treasure-offering expression, handing it to Zhang Yi.
Zhang Yi was both shocked and delighted.
"Totoro, you... you actually went to steal sothing?"
He hadn't expected Totoro to pull off such a big move.
He knew very well that the substance collected on the pyramid was absolutely crucial to the White Snake.
Back then, the King Worm had desperately tried to snatch it, only to be killed outright by the White Snake.
The Shengjing Region had orchestrated this entire grand sche for that very thing.
Who would have thought that Totoro would end up picking up the spoils!
Zhang Yi didn't dare think too much about it. He certainly understood the imnse value of this purple crystal.
He hurriedly stored the crystal into his Dinsional Space, then tossed Totoro into Jingwei's Shadow Space. Without looking back, he sped at full throttle toward the sky.
As he left, he could faintly feel a gaze watching him from behind.
A chill ran down Zhang Yi's spine. He didn't know if it was just his overactive nerves creating an illusion, or if the White Snake underground had truly discovered he stole the purple crystal.
But he had no ti to consider any of that. Only one thought remained in his mind—get the hell out of here!
