Chapter 842 (2/2)
Time passed slowly, but above the compass, the rings of light still spread out. There were no other signs occurring, which made Mu Chen and Nine Nether look increasingly somber.
However, just as they were about to be disappointed, the black compass shook, and the light screen suddenly revealed a small red dot that was flickering continuously.
“There’s some movement!” Mu Chen’s eyes lit up.
Just when Mu Chen spoke up, another light spot emerged in a location further away from the red dot, and the intensity of this spot was obviously even greater.
In a few short seconds, the Spirit Seeking Compass had located two relics that hid Meteorfall gas!
With the speed of this search, other forces would be green with jealousy if they caught wind of it. With such an artifact, the task of finding the Meteorfall Alchemy pills would be effortless!
“Let’s go!”
Mu Chen and Nine Nether’s expressions were full of surprise, and without any hesitation they gathered the Nine Nether Troop. The group turned into a vast stream of light and swept out of the swamp heading straight towards the direction indicated on the Spirit Seeking Compass.
The Nine Nether Troop swept forward at full force as they encountered other forces along the way. The other forces retreated guardedly, clearly overwhelmed by the intense fighting spirit emanating from the Nine Nether Troop.
Some of the other powerful forces were not willing to go to war with the Nine Nether Palace, so they also chose to retreat. After all, although the Nine Nether Palace was not terrifying, it had the backing of the powerful Daluo Territory, a genuine top-notch force, thus many other forces were fearful and wary of them.
For all these reasons, this time they were unexpectedly successful. There were occasional obstructions, but ultimately they were not much hindrance to their pace of march.
Hence, just four hours later, they arrived at the first relic marked on the Spirit Seeking Compass.
To their slight disappointment, the relic was not as strong as the one they had encountered before, as it was not even a Grade Three Relic.
Although disappointed, it was better than nothing, and it was more than some forces had who couldn’t even locate relics after looking everywhere. So with this thought, Mu Chen and the others swept through the ruins of the relic and gathered approximately 50 Meteorfall Alchemy pills.
After scavenging the ruins, Mu Chen and the group rushed straight to the direction where the second red spot was located. This relic did not disappoint Mu Chen, as the Meteorfall gas had also reached that of a Grade Three Relic.
It was only when fighting over this Grade Three Relic that Mu Chen finally met with an obstacle again. It was a force called the Iron Blood War Clan. This was also a very famous top-notch force in the North Territory. This clan was extremely war-loving, therefore, they were extremely fond of conquest, which caused them to be the most feared among the many forces in the North Territory.
Thus, when they saw the Iron Blood Army, they already knew that war could not be avoided. However, Mu Chen did not hesitate to condense the fighting spirit of the Nine Nether Troop, and they were ready to battle. The leader of the Iron Blood Army retreated immediately and as they retreated, distant curses and swearing could be heard.
“D*mn it, it’s a crazy fellow who can condense fighting spirit…”
When Mu Chen heard the distant cursing and then saw the orderly retreat of the Iron Blood Army, he didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry, but he was glad to avoid a direct confrontation with the Iron Blood War Clan. From the behavior of this Iron Blood War Clan, it seemed that they were not the intense war-loving warmongers they were rumored to be. Thus, they retreated wisely knowing they would pay a heavy price if they didn’t.
With the withdrawal of the Iron Blood War Clan, the relic once again landed in Mu Chen’s hands.
This Grade Three Relic also added 200 Meteorfall Alchemy pills to their collection. In total, they had about 600 Meteorfall Alchemy pills.
This kind of achievement, according to Nine Nether, was absolutely outstanding. After all, it was quite rare to be able to find three relics in such a short period of time, unless there were other forces who also had the same means to detect Meteorfall gas.
Whoosh!
After scraping the site clean, Mu Chen and Nine Nether let the Nine Nether Troop take a break while the two took out the Spirit Seeking Compass again and prepared to continue their exploration.
However, just as they were about to explore the direction of the other relics, Mu Chen and Nine Nether’s expressions suddenly changed. With a clench of their fists, a green bronze mirror appeared in their hands, a token given to Lord Nine Nether by Mandela before the beginning of the Great Hunting War.
At this time, in this green bronze mirror, a blood-red spot of light flickered wildly, an extremely critical distress signal!
Mu Chen and Nine Nether glanced at the blood-red spot of light reflected on the green bronze mirror, and their expressions turned grave.
A lord-ranked troop of Daluo Territory had been forced into a desperate situation and had to use the bronze mirrors to seek help!
This Great Hunting War was perilous, indeed!
