Chapter 2193 - 2186: There’s a Rat Among Us
"Is there really such a good thing?"
The emperors’ faces were almost creased with smiles.
For them, the Supreme Crystal business here is an important part of the financial system of the Holy Soul Alliance, and the number and efficiency of the Explorers directly determine the financial share of this part!
The mortality rate of Explorers is very high; of course, some people brag and choke themselves to death in the Blood Pond, and some die in conflicts between Explorers, but the largest proportion is still due to attacks by Blood Slave Beasts! This proportion exceeds more than 60% of the Explorer deaths!
If Zhang Menglong can eliminate all the Blood Slave Beasts in the Blood Pond, then the safety in the Blood Pond would be very high, and as long as you don’t act recklessly, it’s basically hard to die. In this case, the survival rate of Explorers can be greatly increased, which would be a beneficial thing for the Holy Soul Alliance!
"No objections, of course, no objections!" The emperors rushed to say, "If the lord needs any assistance, just tell us, we will do everything we can to accomplish it for you!"
They certainly knew that the gold colloid obtained from killing Blood Slave Beasts was of great benefit to Zhang Menglong, but they were not blessed with the fortune to use it, nor did they have the qualifications to use it. Even if they got it, it wouldn’t hold much meaning for them, so they might as well let Zhang Menglong have it; this was a win-win situation.
"You can’t really help me with anything," Zhang Menglong said, "If you insist on doing something, then try not to let anyone disturb me during this time, seal off the entire Blood Pond, so I don’t have to be distracted by others."
"Okay! We will immediately give orders, during your stay here, no one is allowed to enter the Blood Pond!"
In fact, this is not a difficult thing to do, after all, now is the time of the Blood Vortex Flow, for ordinary Explorers, of course, it’s best to stay as far away as possible, who would go looking to die in the Blood Pond?
"Then we won’t disturb you!" The emperors greeted Zhang Menglong and then gradually left, soon a new group arrived around the entire Blood Pond, surrounding it completely, making it almost impossible for anyone to disturb Zhang Menglong.
"Gou Dan, help me check if there are any red stones in the Blood Pond?"
[I just scanned it and didn’t find anything similar; the conditions for forming these should still be quite stringent.]
"What a pity," Zhang Menglong sighed, this thing is a treasure, a single stone could be worth hunting down hundreds of Blood Slave Beasts, if there were thousands, my Soul Rank could advance another grade.
"Forget it, back to the grind!" Zhang Menglong immediately took out all the 21 red stones, using spiritual power to control them, making them float above the Blood Pond, moments later, he activated all the stones.
The Blood Slave Beasts in the entire Blood Pond suddenly stopped what they were doing and turned their heads towards Zhang Menglong.
For them, Zhang Menglong’s position now is like obtaining a light source in the dark night, no matter where it is, it absolutely attracts the desire to take a look.
Moments later, countless Blood Slave Beasts swarmed in, turning the entire Blood Pond into a chaotic mess, there were even Blood Slave Beasts wrestling halfway through, looking to monopolize the Soul Power, which was their biggest goal.
"Oh wow, it’s lively here!" Zhang Menglong felt the commotion coming from the Blood Pond, his heart also restless, these were all massive supplements coming his way!
In an instant, hundreds of Blood Slave Beasts rushed out from the Blood Pond, directly pouncing towards the 21 red stones in mid-air.
The weakest of these Blood Slave Beasts were almost comparable in power to a Qi Stage Transcender, each body over 500 meters in length, the strongest one even had a body over 10,000 meters, its aura nearly reaching the limits of a Transcender.
However, mid-air, the Blood Slave Beasts began to fight amongst themselves, the strongest Blood Slave Beast’s tail swept through the nearby Blood Slave Beasts like a blade, directly slicing them in half.
"Goodness, if an ordinary Explorer encountered this, they’d probably be gone in an instant," Zhang Menglong muttered to himself, looking at the enormous Blood Slave Beast.
Those sliced Blood Slave Beasts fell back into the Blood Pond, their bodies restored in an instant, it felt as if they were demons crawling out of hell.
Once again, they soared into the air, eager to snatch the red stones, but at that moment, the largest Blood Slave Beast was about to swallow those red stones in one bite.
But it would have never thought that its bite would grasp nothing, a human actually snatched those tasty morsels from its mouth and then watched it from not far away, looking amused.
It immediately flew into a rage, how dare these creatures it could easily control dare to snatch food from its jaws?
Without a moment’s hesitation, the massive tail whipped towards Zhang Menglong’s body.
"Soul-Cutting Sword!" Zhang Menglong reached towards the void, and a long blade immediately appeared.
The Soul-Cutting Sword, a weapon with extremely powerful soul-killing capabilities, was the perfect Divine Weapon against such special Life Forms.
Zhang Menglong’s body gracefully slipped past the tail, even his hair brushing close, but that strike could not harm him at all.
The Blood Slave Beast, seeing this, sprayed crimson streams from its body, firing at Zhang Menglong like a warship’s Beam Cannon.
"The body has evolved such organs? Interesting!"
Zhang Menglong suddenly had a bold idea, building a Blood Slave Beast army would be incredible, if injured, simply throw them back into the Blood Pond. Unless they were specialists in soul cultivation, there was nothing humans could do against Blood Slave Beasts; in large-scale warfare, they were virtually war machines!
While thinking, Zhang Menglong’s movements didn’t slow down at all, he glided around like an eel.
While the Blood Slave Beasts were powerful, if they couldn’t touch him, it was meaningless.
"Found it, here it is!"
The Soul-Cutting Sword in Zhang Menglong’s hand slashed through the void, the blade’s gleam slicing through the Blood Slave Beast’s body.
The Blood Slave Beast halted, falling from the sky, and its body began to rapidly disintegrate because its soul had been completely destroyed by the blade light!
The Soul-Cutting Sword combined with Zhang Menglong’s Soul Power, was absolutely lethal without leaving any trace!
Countless Blood Slave Beasts surged into the sky, Zhang Menglong exuded the aura of a one-man army, they couldn’t even approach within ten meters!
But the immense death toll could not dampen the fervor of the remaining Blood Slave Beasts, they seemed to have devolved into beasts driven solely by instinct.
Zhang Menglong did not immediately absorb the golden jelly-like substance, leaving them floating on the side, as if with a collection obsession.
Even he didn’t know how many Blood Slave Beasts he had killed, but the amount of golden jelly nearby could almost fill several standard swimming pools.
But just then, right before Zhang Menglong’s eyes, these materials suddenly disappeared!
That’s right! They vanished!
Anger flared in Zhang Menglong’s eyes.
This damn thing, that’s the work of a backstabber!
