Chapter 321

Amidst the torrential rain and flashes of lightning, the ancestors of the Ancient Miluo Clan landed on the ground and placed their altars on top of their heads. This wasn't a good time to travel. Although they weren't afraid of lightning striking their altars, it was still uncomfortable to be struck by lightning. If their souls were accidentally injured, it would be an unexpected disaster.

The group of ancestors hovered in the air less than half a meter above the ground with their altars on top of their heads. Countless symbols descended. Under the erosion of the rain, the protective barrier's shape was revealed. It was of all shapes and sizes and was completely different.

Guo Shier found this scene quite strange. If he had seen such a group of ancestors hovering in the air in his previous life, he would have been scared to death. He said, "The thunderstorm is too heavy. Big Brother Li Ran, should we continue on our way?"

Li Ran turned around and asked, "Little Hai, do you think we should continue?"

Hai Miluo smiled bitterly, "This place isn't suitable for resting. Let's go forward first. It's best if we can leave the rainstorm area."

Li Ran nodded and said, "Alright then. Everyone, activate your defenses to prevent getting injured by the lightning." Although this level of lightning couldn't kill a Great Ancestor level expert, it was inevitable that he would suffer some minor injuries if he was struck.

Guo Shier said, "Uncle Falconer, you guys come closer, I'll protect them …"

Li Ran smiled, "You can't protect them. Don't mind them, this level of lightning won't kill them."

Falconer said, "Let's go, this level of lightning is far inferior to the Small Thunder Mirror."

Juehu Miluo smiled, "You still remember the Small Thunder Mirror? Hehe, that is the real world of lightning." He had met Guo Shier's group in the Small Thunder Mirror. At that time, Guo Shier's group hadn't reached the Illusory Altar yet. They were unbelievably weak. But now, they were six-layered altars.

The group flew close to the ground, leaving a trail of white mist on the grassland.

…

One day later, the ancestors of the Ancient Miluo Clan rushed out of the rainstorm area. They hadn't flown far when they encountered another hunting group. There were only three of them, but they were quite strong. One seven-layered altar and two five-layered altars.

The three panicked when they saw a large group of altars flying over. They immediately released their altars and became alert. The seven-layered altar leader said, "Don't come any closer …"

Hai Miluo said, "Friend, don't be nervous, we are just passing by."

Seeing that Hai Miluo didn't have any ill intentions, the professional relaxed a little. He came up and said, "Wandering professional, seven-layered altar. My name is Fan Zhentong, and these are my two partners."

The other two also said, "Wandering Altars, Puff."

"Wandering Altars, Miluo."

This was a young woman who still retained her charm. Her expression was indifferent as she swept her gaze over the crowd. There was still a trace of wariness in her expression.

This was a young woman who still retained her charm. Her expression was calm, but her eyes still carried a hint of caution as she looked at the group.

Hai Miluo said, "Hello, we are Professionists of the Ancient Miluo Clan, I am Hai Miluo." Fan Zhentong said, "Nice to meet you, nice to meet you …" He politely greeted them.

It was clear that he was a bit absent-minded. Even though he didn't look at them with hostility, his attitude was very casual.

Fan Zhentong indifferently said, "We've only just arrived and haven't found any decent prey yet."

Fan Zhentong said indifferently, "We just arrived not too long ago, so we haven't found any decent prey yet."

Guo Shier felt strange, Hai Miluo was being too enthusiastic, could it be that he wanted to rob them? He looked at Hai Miluo in confusion and found that Hai Miluo was indeed very sincere, without any other intentions.

Fan Zhentong hesitated, then said, "We just arrived, so we don't know much about this continent …"

Hai Miluo said with a smile, "That's fine, we just arrived a bit earlier, so we can tell you a bit about the situation." He looked at the three of them expectantly.

Guo Shier suddenly realized that because Fan Zhentong and the other two were Wandering Altars, they didn't have any families, and their professions were so high, how could Hai Miluo not rope them in? Just like when he was outside, as long as he said he was a Wandering Altars, any family would be very polite to him.

Fan Zhentong seemed to have thought of this, and his expression completely relaxed. He looked back at his two companions with a questioning look. Seeing the two of them nod, he said with a smile, "That's fine, I want to understand the situation here. Haha, we came in a hurry and didn't know anything."

Hai Miluo nodded and said, "Juehu, take some people to set up camp."

Juehu Miluo nodded and said, "Yes." He immediately invited a few ancestors to start cleaning the ground, setting up camp, and setting up the Invisible Talisman House.

Once the professionals confirmed that the other party didn't have any hostility, they were usually very willing to communicate with each other. Wandering outside, if one didn't have enough information, it would be very disadvantageous.

The camp was set up in less than five minutes, and a row of Invisible Talisman House was erected on the ground. In front of the Invisible Talisman House, a small area was pressed with talismans, and the ground was as flat as marble. When they left, the power of the talismans would be extracted, and the ground would gradually return to its original state.

Someone spread a thick animal skin on the ground, and Hai Miluo invited the three of them to sit down.

Other than Hai Miluo and Feng Miluo, there were also Li Ran, Guo Shier, and Fang Miluo. The others all returned to the Invisible Talisman House to rest. Professionals also needed a proper rest.

An ancestor came over and laid out all kinds of food and fruits, Guo Shier also took out a few bottles of wine.

Fan Zhentong, Pu Zhe, and Miluo thanked him and sat down. Professionals didn't always have a relationship of fighting, they could also make friends. When traveling outside, everyone was very cautious, unless it was absolutely necessary, no one was willing to offend a Professionist of the same rank. Only a few arrogant and conceited people, or those who were used to being kings in their own families, wouldn't know the severity of the situation, and consider everyone else beneath them.

Guo Shier and the others introduced themselves. When it was Li Ran's turn, he only said his name, and didn't say his rank. This guy was used to hiding his rank, according to Guo Shier, he was pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger, but no one here understood what that meant.

Fan Zhentong and the others didn't pay attention to Li Ran. As long as Li Ran intentionally hid his rank, no one would be able to see any clues, and they would only feel that he was a Professional similar to them, or even a little lower.

Hai Miluo gave a simple introduction of what he knew. Fan Zhentong laughed, "We've been here for two days, and we've only wandered around this area for a while, killing two Level 9 Mutated Rune Beasts. Hehe, there don't seem to be many Mutated Rune Beasts here, and we haven't seen any high level Mutated Rune Beasts. It would be great if we could find a few Mutated Rune Beasts."

Guo Shier said, "The Mutated Rune Beasts here are very powerful, the highest we've seen is a Level 16 Mutated Rune Beast …" He didn't say that he had hunted a Level 16 Mutated Rune Beast, because none of the Professionals present had the ability to hunt such a high level Mutated Rune Beast. If he said that, Fan Zhentong and the others would definitely not believe him.

Miluo was shocked, "Level 16 Mutated Rune Beast? Isn't that comparable to a Level 20 Mutated Rune Beast? "

Guo Shier laughed, "It seems like it's even more powerful …"

Fan Zhentong said, "We can't afford to provoke a Level 16 Mutated Rune Beast. We might be able to deal with a Level 15 Mutated Rune Beast, but our greatest hope is to meet a Level 11 or 12 Mutated Rune Beast, or a Level 15 or 16 Mutated Rune Beast. Any higher than that … we can't hunt them."

Pu Zhe was a man of few words, and Miluo didn't say much at first. However, as they conversed, she gradually became more lively and said, "I wonder if you've heard of the Big Abyss?"

Hai Miluo shook his head and said, "No, I've never heard of this Big Abyss."

Guo Shier asked, "Is the Big Abyss … on this continent?" He had acutely sensed that there was some secret here.

Miluo said, "Before we entered, we heard a rumor, but we couldn't confirm it. It's said that the Big Abyss is a gathering place for Mutated Rune Beasts and Mutated Rune Beasts, and there are countless of them. As for why so many Mutated Rune Beasts and Mutated Rune Beasts are gathered here, no one knows."

Li Ran's heart stirred slightly, and he said, "The Big Abyss … there should be something that attracted those Mutated Rune Beasts and Mutated Rune Beasts, right?"

Guo Shier clapped and said, "I think so too … Could it be that there's something that can allow them to advance?"

Miluo shook his head and said, "I don't know. We came here because this is an excellent hunting ground, and we can obtain a large number of sacrifices. The other reason is because of the Big Abyss. It's rumored that it's a very mysterious place, and we hope to go take a look."

Li Ran glanced at them and said, "You guys aren't strong enough. If you encounter a large number of high-grade Mutated Rune Beasts and Mutated Rune Beasts, you guys won't be able to resist them."

Fan Zhentong agreed and said, "That's right. There are only three of us, and we might be able to sneak in. However, if we're discovered, we can only escape."

Hai Miluo laughed and said, "That would require an expert with absolute strength to be able to do anything, right?"

Fan Zhentong nodded and said, "At the very least, an expert with eight layers of altars and above … But up until now, I've only seen three to five eight-layer altars. I've never seen a nine-layer altars and above in my entire life."

Hai Miluo said, "I would like to invite the three of you … to join our Ancient Miluo Family as guest elders. Hehe, don't be in a hurry to refuse. Think about it. Hehe, our family has super experts." He secretly glanced at Li Ran, afraid that this senior would be angry.

Li Ran smiled and didn't say anything. He naturally knew what Hai Miluo was thinking, but he didn't care. Once they left this continent, he would bring Guo Shier and leave. The waters of the Ancient Miluo Family were still too shallow, and they couldn't raise a big fish like him.

Fan Zhentong was startled for a moment and asked, "Are you trying to recruit us?"

Hai Miluo smiled and said, "Don't think it's strange. Haven't you met an ancient family that tried to recruit you?"

Miluo said, "There are many ancient families that tried to recruit us, but we aren't used to being restricted. Hehe, we are used to wandering around."

Fan Zhentong secretly muttered in his mind. Super experts? How high are they? He had been stuck at the seven-layer altar for a very long time. The reason why he wandered around was to look for opportunities. At his current level, he needed the guidance of a true expert. Otherwise, it would be very difficult to break through to the eight-layer altar.

After a while, Fan Zhentong said, "If you have any experts that surpass the eight-layer altar, we will join you. But … I have a request …"

Hai Miluo still smiled and said, "What request? As long as it is within our means, we won't refuse. " His heart was already blooming with joy. One seven-layer altar and two five-layer altars. If he could recruit such experts into his family, the family's strength wouldn't be doubled, but it would be greatly increased without a doubt.

Fan Zhentong discussed with his other two companions and said, "I need guidance to advance. If the ancient Miluo family has any experts that surpass the eight-layer altar, we will join."

Miluo doubtfully said, "Old Fan, they don't have any experts that surpass the eight-layer altar, right? Could it be that they stayed in the family and didn't come out?"

Pu Zhe said, "Boss, I think … we should be careful. At least let us meet that expert first before making a decision."

Li Ran knew that he needed to appear. He smiled and said, "If you want to meet … it's very easy." A small altar appeared above his head. Because it had shrunk to a small size, it hovered above his head like a pagoda.

Fan Zhentong was dumbfounded. He pointed at Li Ran and mumbled something that no one knew what he was saying. Miluo and Pu Zhe were even more shocked. Their eyes were wide open as they stared at the slowly rotating altar.

Not everyone could see altars with more than nine levels. Even altars with eight or nine levels were rare. An eight-layer altar was slightly better. If one was lucky, they could see quite a few professionals. But an altar above the nine-layer altar was too difficult to find. Guo Shier had seen many high-level professionals, but he hadn't seen a single one with a nine-layer altar. Of course, this didn't include Qi Wuzhen and Li Ran, these two abnormal experts that surpassed the nine-layer altar.
