Chapter 147 Mysterious Heavy Mud (1/2)
The Saint Remains squad was quickly organized. They now boasted a pretty good line-up consisting of thirty individuals, each possessing the strength of the advance Heaven Gate stage. When all of them were gathered together, an intimidating aura could be felt, causing respect to rise in the eyes of the crowd around them.
Xiao Tianxuan had a look of satisfaction in his eyes. This line-up would be able to put up a fight even against an Alpha-Origin expert.
Xiao Tianxuan's gaze fell upon the group as he said with a grin, ”Since all of you have chosen to join our Saint Remains squad, you're now one of us. There are many gifts and blessings in the Saint Remains Domain and as long as we work at one, there will be nothing for us to fear.”
His speech was made with authority and confidence. As the junior city lord of Saint Remains City, his status and reputation was plain for all to see, while also lending some weight to his words. Hence, no one gave any objections when he spoke and acted as their leader.
Xiao Tianxuan did indeed have the qualifications.
”There's not much else for me to say. The first target of our newly established Saint Remains squad is that grade 4 Genesis Beast. We must obtain victory so as to grow the reputation of the squad.” Xiao Tianxuan did not beat about the bush. Although they had gained some elite members, whether or not these new members stayed on hinged upon their first battle.
As long as they could pull off a beautiful victory, the name of their Saint Remains squad would spread and attract even more elite geniuses. If this positive feedback loop continued, he would definitely gain the power to match the super elite geniuses.
Thus, with a wave of his hand, he took the lead and flew off, while the new recruits of the Saint Remains squad immediately followed.
Genesis Qi surged as a group of thirty Heaven Gate experts leapt into the air, an impressive sight indeed.
Even more of the surrounding onlookers also followed like a swarm of locusts. Many of them knew that although they would not be able to enjoy the spoils from the grade 4 Genesis Beast and its little Heaven Genesis technique, they could still take advantage of this opportunity to kill the beast packs that followed the grade 4 Genesis Beast.
Zhou Yuan's gaze flickered faintly as he watched the exodus and seamlessly melded into the crowd.
The large group swept through the mountain range like an unstoppable tsunami, easily cutting through every beast in their path.
After an hour, they reached the depths of the mountain range.
A high-spirited Xiao Tianxuan led the Saint Remains squad, standing on a hill as he looked to his front where an enormous mountain valley lay. The valley was dyed in a silver black l.u.s.ter, while howling wind and m.u.f.fled thunder originated from within.
By this time, the beast packs that were originally stationed outside the valley had already been cleaned up.
”That grade 4 Wind Thunder Beast is in this valley.” Fear flitted across Gu Ling's face as she gazed into the depths of the valley. If not for their numbers, none of them would dare to provoke a grade 4 Genesis Beast.
Let alone the fact that this grade 4 Genesis Beast knew a little Heaven Genesis technique.
Behind Xiao Tianxuan, one of the advance Heaven Gate stage members said, ”Squad leader, I don't think any of us will be able to withstand the little Heaven Genesis technique of that Wind Thunder Beast.”
The others nodded. Thirty advance Heaven Gate pract.i.tioners might seem impressive, but a single mistake was all it would take for their entire group to be wiped out by a little Heaven Genesis technique.
Xiao Tianxuan smiled faintly and replied, ”If it does use the little Heaven Genesis technique, I will naturally have a way to deal with it.”
The sight of his confident appearance made the others secretly breathe a sigh of relief. If Xiao Tianxuan had been planning on paying for victory with their lives, none of them would accompany him any further.
Fortunately, it seemed that Xiao Tianxuan did live up to his junior city lord status, and had some powerful trump cards in his a.r.s.enal.
Xiao Tianxuan instructed, ”Prepare to draw out the Wind Thunder Beast as planned.”
One of the members responded, and began to very carefully approach the mountain valley.
Zhou Yuan was seated in a mountain forest some distance away, his eyes narrowing slightly as he observed this scene. He knew that it was not time to act yet...
”Xiao Tianxuan, show me just what kind of tricks you have up your sleeve…”
Roar!
When the Saint Remains scouting member neared the valley, an irritated roar rang out from within. The roar was akin to thunder, violently shaking the sides of the valley.
The advance Heaven Gate scouting member turned deathly pale, no hesitation whatsoever as he turned and fled.
Swis.h.!.+
However, the moment his body turned around, a bolt of lightning shot out from the valley and appeared right behind him in a flash. A black shadow descended as a claw suffused with lightning viciously smacked the scout's body.
Bang!
A m.u.f.fled sound rang out and the scouting member vomited a mouthful of blood. His body crashed into the ground like a cannonball, creating a deep pit. No one knew whether he was dead or alive.
Roar!
Only at this moment was everyone finally able to get a clear view of the creature. It was a giant of beast, a dozen feet tall, while lightning cackled at its feet. Its body stood tall and straight, but its head was that of a green ox. Lightning danced on its body and gales emerged as it breathed.
