The desolate, barren mountain looked like a gray saber. The five members of Team Blue Bronze were lurking on the back of the saber.
'Swallow 'Yan Yangtian, on the other hand, had melted into the cold air and was monitoring the situation in the valley on the edge of the saber by herself.
Through the picture she sent back, Li Yao could clearly see that there were thirteen demons in the valley. They were all covered in white hair, with crimson crystals embedded in their joints, and were emitting a red aura. Their bodies were huge, and they looked like seventeen ice bears standing on their feet.
The white hair was not necessarily their real appearance. It was more likely to be a biochemical shell that had been specially modified to protect them from the cold in the extreme climate.
Their faces were all exposed. Their facial organs were clear, and they looked similar to human beings. However, there was a cluster of round flesh on their noses, which should be some kind of small demonic insect that could clean the air.
The more similar they looked to human beings, the more advanced and stronger they were. They were very likely to be silver-blood demons.
The civilization level of the Blood Demon Sector was similar to that of the Tian Yuan Realm. Teleporting demon kings and demon emperors hundreds of lightyears away would consume a lot of demonic energy, too, and the odds of success were slim.
Unless it was absolutely necessary, demon kings and demon emperors would not risk being torn apart by the space-time turbulence to be teleported to the Occult Orbs, either.
The main force of the expedition to the Occult Orbs was mostly demon generals.
After the Building Foundation Stage Cultivators put on the Crystal Suit, their capability would be greatly improved. Demon generals of the same level would be no match for them.
However, the bodies of the demon race were naturally tougher. They were better able to bear the side effects of interstellar travel.
Therefore, star shuttles of the same level could carry more demons.
Therefore, in the battles on the Occult Orbs, the Cultivators' side was usually stronger than the demons' side.
That was what happened today.
"I found a star shuttle of the demon race 37 kilometers away. It did not look large. The thirteen demons, together with the two sentries on the opposite ridge, should be enough. They should be the full force of the demon race.
"According to my observation, the fifteen demons should be high-level demon generals at best. There is no demon king among them, which is consistent with the scale of the star shuttle, too.
"A star shuttle of such a level. There is no way that it can accommodate a demon king after fifteen demon generals, unless they are willing to risk being torn apart by the space-time turbulence. "
Swallow quickly summarized the information.
Li Yao listened while observing carefully.
These white-furred demons built a strange building at the bottom of the valley. At first glance, it looked like a tall tower. A huge pillar stood in the middle of the tower, surrounded by countless crystals, faintly emitting a demonic aura.
"Vulture, you are a refiner. Can you tell what they are building? A camp? Altar? "Hong Tong asked in a low voice.
Li Yao narrowed his eyes. Thousands of structural drawings of similar buildings flashed through his mind. After comparing them one by one, the doubt in the depths of his eyes deepened. Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration.
"It's not a camp or an altar, but a pile driver or a drill."
"Pile driver? Drill bit? "Hong Tong was confused.
"That's right."
Li Yao said confidently, "The giant pillar in the middle should be some sort of drilling magical equipment. It can reach the depths of the earth with the force of vibration or rotation. Generally speaking, such magical equipment is quite common when exploring underground mother lodes.
"However, according to our exploration. Of the dozens of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures on Mystic Glacier, only the Nine-holed Stone and the Spirit Melting Crystal are worth collecting. It is the same for the Blood Demon Sector.
"Besides, their way of upgrading is different from that of Cultivators. There is no such thing as the Building Foundation Stage. Therefore, the Spirit Melting Crystal is absolutely useless for them.
"If they want to collect the Nine-holed Stone, the most convenient way would be to use the ancient mine thousands of years ago. But to explore and dig a new mine? It is too difficult technically, and it is unnecessary.
"Therefore, my judgment is correct. Something more precious than the Nine-holed Stone and the Spirit Melting Crystal is hidden below the ground of this valley! "
While Li Yao was talking, the drilling magical equipment at the bottom of the valley suddenly glowed. The giant pillar in the middle of the valley began to rotate rapidly and drill into the ground.
"What are those scumbags up to? Don't they know that ice is everywhere below the ground of Mystic Glacier? What if the ice is dug out?"
Hong Tong gritted his teeth and said, "Although this demon squad is large in number, they are not very strong. No matter what they are up to, we should take action first. If we kill fifteen demons, we will get a lot of contribution points, and all the trophies will belong to us. What do you think?"
"Let's do it!"
"F * ck them! It's just a dozen demons. We, Team Blue Bronze, have slain more than twenty demons in a row!"
All the team members, including Li Yao, were rubbing their hands.
The encounter with the demon squad was the best opportunity for them to make a fortune in the exploration of the Occult Orbs.
'Shell 'Leng Ziming was the only one who was more cautious.
He asked, "Should we ask for reinforcements from the Tian Yuan Realm and summon another Star Team? I'm not afraid that we can't defeat them. I'm just worried that one or two of them will run away. "
Hong Tong shook his head.
"No. If we want to send a message, we have to go back to the star shuttle. This place is hundreds of kilometers away from the star shuttle. Chances are that these scumbags will crawl out of the ground after a round trip. Also, the odds of us being discovered will be higher. There are too many variables."
'Shell 'Leng Ziming thought for a moment and nodded.
"Fair enough. Let's do it!"
"Alright!"
Hong Tong's voice suddenly became extremely calm. "One minute. Swallow will take care of the sentries on the left. Shell will take care of the ones on the right. Mute will perform mental interference and try to lower the alertness of the demons to the minimum.
"Vulture and Ling Dang, get ready. I will open a tunnel with almost zero gravity in front of you in a moment to increase your speed!
"Then, according to Tactical Plan No. 19, attack freely and kill as many demons as you like!"
"Understood!"
"Understood!"
"Understood!"
The five team members spread out silently, like a giant beast slowly opening its bloody mouth.
The demons at the bottom of the valley were all focused on operating the drilling magical equipment nervously. They had no idea that the shadow of death had passed over their heads.
The mental interference of 'Mute' Ba Weiqi gave them a sense of relief, as if they were about to succeed in their mission.
The last ten seconds.
'Shell 'Leng Ziming was already in position. His telepathic thoughts had locked onto a demon sentry who was disguised as a rock seven hundred and thirty-five meters away.
'Swallow 'Yan Yangtian hid herself in the air and snuck behind another sentry, too.
Li Yao and Ding Ling Dong had prepared the power rune arrays and all the attack magical equipment. Their spiritual energy was raring to go. It was ready to burst out of their pores at any moment.
"Five, four, three, two. One! "
At a corner of the ridge, a scarlet star flashed. A sniper bullet engraved with mysterious runes covered a distance of more than seven hundred meters without a sound. It penetrated through the demon energy shield of the sentry of the demon clan in the blink of an eye and drilled into the head of the demon clan.
'Swallow 'Yan Yangtian suddenly appeared out of thin air. The spiritual energy suppressed the other demon. A flashing blade instantly cut through the demon's spine, and another blade pierced into the demon's heart from the back.
"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
BOOM! BOOM! "The other four Cultivators opened fire. More than a hundred flying swords darted toward the valley.
"Now is the time!"
Captain Hong Tong roared as he suddenly raised both of his hands.
In front of Li Yao and Ding Ling Dong, the path leading to the bottom of the valley was uttering cracking noises. Countless pebbles were rolling quickly. Some of them were even floating in midair, shivering.
Li Yao and Ding Ling Dong activated their spiritual energy to the maximum. Dazzling brilliance was emitting from their bodies. Their power rune arrays were uttering noises. Their feet stomped on the ridge, causing four thunderous explosions.
On the path of microgravity, the speed of the two of them had been higher than ever since the beginning. They rushed to the foot of the mountain like two burning daggers.
"Pa! Pa! Pa! "
Silver flowers of blood were bursting out of the demons who were in a mess.
It was' Shell 'Leng Ziming who had aimed his gun at the demon who seemed to be the commander after taking care of the sentry.
Although he didn't kill the demon directly, the demon was more confused than ever. =
One hundred meters away from the demons.
For a Cultivator, there was nothing he could do. The distance was only a hair's breadth away.
Li Yao's soul expanded. He summoned four floating Vulcan Machine Cannons, which interweaved into a dazzling net of fire in front of him.
After a 'clang', the Boiled Blood Wind Slashing Saber appeared in his hand. The bloody aura was pushed nine meters away. A bloody tornado was raised in an unstoppable manner.
All the demons within the range of the saber raised their weapons to block the attack. But one of the demon generals had just been shot in the arm, which slowed him down for a moment. His huge head soared to the sky. His shocked expression froze in the cold wind.
The first drop of blood was in his hand!
Although the other demons weren't hit by the saber directly, the invisible edge of the saber pierced through their demonic energy shields and entered their bodies weirdly.
The demons who were relatively weak immediately lost a lot of blood.
There was a mysterious soul connection between Li Yao and the Boiled Blood Wind Slashing Saber. Li Yao sensed the weakness of the demons immediately. He sneered and slashed at the demon who was losing blood the fastest.
At this moment, Ding Ling Dong was also controlling three fiery dragons to dash into the enemy's formation.
She was in the middle level of the Building Foundation Stage in the first place. With the enhancement of the Crimson Phantom Battlesuit that Li Yao had tailor-made for her, she was even stronger than the high-level demon generals. She also had the heritage of 'Nona-colored Fire'.
When 'Swallow' Yan Yangtian, Captain Hong Tong, and 'Dummy' Ba Weiqi all rushed into the enemy's formation, Li Yao and Ding Ling Dong had already slain three demon generals together and weakened the other three due to excessive blood loss.
When two enemies met on a narrow path, the winner was always the brave one. The outcome of the battle was already decided!
Captain Hong Tong didn't expect that Li Yao would be so dauntless in his first battle in the Occult Orbs. He had only asked the two of them to disrupt the demons' formation and wait for the rest of them to join the battle. He didn't expect that he and Ding Ling Dong would be able to knock down the demons' arrogance by working together. Hong Tong was overjoyed.
He shouted, "Good job, Vulture. Don't kill them all. Keep one alive for interrogation!"
Silver-blood demons were as intelligent as human beings. They could communicate with each other easily. The Cultivators of the Heaven's Origin Sector had mastered a lot of secret arts to interrogate demons, too. 'Dummy' Ba Weiqi of Team Blue Bronze was an expert in such arts.
The few demons who were still stubbornly resisting could see that they were doomed. After looking at each other, a demon with particularly gorgeous fur clenched his teeth and crushed a round magic treasure in his hand with a fierce look in his eyes!
BOOM!
The drilling magical equipment suddenly spun several times faster than before. A weird explosion that made one's teeth ache echoed from deep below the ground. (To be continued.)
