Chapter 153 The Underground Squad
After seeing Lu Hao's Bridge to Heaven and Earth, Qin Fengqing and Wang Jinyang became even more determined.
After all, he had trusted Lu Hao before, and now that he had seen Lu Hao reinforcing the Bridge of Heaven and Earth, he couldn't possibly harm himself.
So the two of them became even more determined. Although they didn't know the specific purpose, who doesn't know how to copy homework?
Following Lu Hao, even if he chooses F, I'd still dare to copy.
The three of them quickly finished cleaning up: two mid-level sixth-grade hearts, five fifth-grade hearts, and seven fourth-grade hearts. The sixth-grade hearts had already been shredded by Lu Hao.
There was no way to peel them off completely, but that was the only way, since they were two sixth-rank officials. To kill them in one blow without damaging their skin was something Lu Hao couldn't do in his previous life.
However, these are all minor expenses. The real expense lies in the energy stones. Even if some are set aside to reinforce the bridge between heaven and earth, the rest will be enough for their use.
"When we get back, don't exchange them separately. Let's exchange this batch of energy stones together with the government. Maybe we can get them to open up a portion of the exchange list."
You can exchange it for some life essence; after all, that stuff is essential for survival, and you can never have too much.
Furthermore, it can be exchanged for energy fruits and other items to aid in cultivation.
Lu Hao said that he planned to use these energy stones to exchange for some treasures that could enhance his mental strength.
"Okay, no problem. You're familiar with these things, so I'll leave the redemption to you."
Wang Jinyang said.
"Yes, it's up to you. We don't know as much as you do."
Qin Fengqing nodded in agreement.
Although Lu Hao has gone down into the underground caves less often than the two of them, judging from the current situation, Lu Hao knows a lot of things, probably due to various fortuitous encounters or the like.
Therefore, it's most appropriate for Lu Hao to handle this, since neither of them knows what to exchange for.
After packing up, the three prepared to return to Hope City, since they now had a large sum of money, which would be perfect for exchanging for cultivation materials.
The three of them held their breath and hurried westward.
After traveling nearly halfway, Lu Hao was the first to sense the situation ahead.
"stop"
Lu Hao quickly used his mental power to send a telepathic message to Qin Fengqing and Wang Jinyang.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
"There are battle fluctuations coming from ahead. My mental strength is a bit higher than yours, so I sensed it first. And the battle fluctuations are quite large; it's a sixth-rank battle."
"Sixth rank?"
"This place is over a hundred kilometers away from Hope City. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be a battle between sixth-rank officials here."
Qin Fengqing and Wang Jinyang exchanged a puzzled reply via telepathy: "After all, a sixth-rank warrior isn't something you can just pick up anywhere. In the underground world, they're considered high-level combatants, worthy of being called a battle general."
The battle took place here.
"What should we do? Should we go around it, or go check what's going on?"
Wang Jinyang asked telepathically, "Let's go take a look. If we take a detour, it will take a lot of time and the risks will be greater. Besides, it's only a sixth-rank beast, and we also have sixth-rank combat power, so we don't need to be too afraid." Lu Hao replied telepathically, "After all, if we take a detour, we might encounter some kind of monster horde or something."
Or other unforeseen circumstances.
"Okay, let's go take a look."
Qin Fengqing and Wang Jinyang exchanged a glance and nodded. They were still somewhat confident about the sixth rank, so it wouldn't hurt to go and check out the situation.
The three of them then further concealed their auras and slowly moved forward.
After walking for a short while, Qin Fengqing and Wang Jinyang also sensed the combat fluctuations that Lu Hao had mentioned. It was indeed a sixth-rank cultivator, but not particularly powerful.
This means that neither side in the battle had reached the peak of the sixth rank.
Soon, the three of them stealthily arrived at a small hill and saw what was ahead.
A team led by a sixth-rank Earthly Cave warrior is attacking a monster's lair. The monster is being fought off by only two fifth-rank warriors.
"Strange, when did these underground warriors start meddling in matters concerning demonic beasts?"
Lu Hao asked telepathically, to see if they had any other opinions, since the three of them had passed through this area on their way here.
The group of demonic beasts did not launch an attack, so they did not make a move. After all, it would be bad if the battle attracted other powerful figures from the underground caves. As a result, the underground cave warriors were now taking the initiative to clear them out.
"I don't know. What good would cleaning this place do for them? They and the demon beasts have always kept to themselves, and they even cooperate with high-level demon beasts," Wang Jinyang said.
"Whatever their ideas are, what should we do? Should we go around them, or sit back and reap the benefits?"
Qin Fengqing asked.
"Let's make a killing. This sixth-rank is probably only in the middle of the sixth rank. We can kill them. After they finish killing the monsters, we'll take the opportunity to strike and wipe out this team. Then we'll return to Hope City," Lu Hao transmitted his voice. After all, he hadn't gained many killing points this time, and he was still far from completing the tempering within the fifth rank.
If we happen to encounter one, we might as well go for a kill.
"Alright, let's get started. I'd also like to know what the purpose of this group of underground warriors is in clearing out the monsters here."
Wang Jinyang transmitted his voice.
The three waited there, and soon they saw the sixth-rank underground martial artist severely injure a fifth-rank demonic beast opposite them.
After all, not everyone is Lu Hao; a sixth-rank official is overwhelmingly superior to a fifth-rank official.
Soon, the sixth-rank underground warrior killed both fifth-rank demonic beasts, and the other underground warriors also killed the entire small demonic beast swarm.
"Ready, let's go!"
As Lu Hao transmitted his thoughts, the three of them immediately soared into the sky from the earthen mound. Lu Hao then attacked the sixth-rank underground expert before him.
The sixth-rank underground warrior opposite them spotted them the moment they rushed out. He hadn't expected that there would be warriors from this Land of Rebirth here.
Thinking of his mission, he was relieved that these warriors from the Land of Resurrection had intervened; otherwise, they would have escaped. "Kagu!"
The sixth-rank underground warrior shouted and slashed at Lu Hao.
"Puff"
The two swords clashed instantly. Lu Hao was knocked back three or four meters by the explosion of his qi and blood, but the sixth-rank underground cave warrior opposite him was even worse, being knocked back seven or eight meters.
Lu Hao instantly analyzed the opponent's strength; they were weaker than him, but only to a limited extent.
Lu Hao continued to slash with his knife.
The sixth-rank underground warrior on the other side was somewhat bewildered. After all, he was a sixth-rank warrior, while the other side was only a fifth-rank warrior. As a result, he was the one who retreated more after this attack.
Doesn't that mean we're inferior to the other side?
This idea surprised many of the sixth-rank underground martial artists.
But seeing Lu Hao attacking again, there was no time to think. He could only desperately resist. However, as long as he could hold out for a while, more reconnaissance teams would arrive.
Lu Hao had no idea what the underground warrior in front of him was thinking, but he attacked relentlessly.
