In the next three days, more and more strange beasts entered the God of Heaven Mountain Range, but none of them came back. There was no news.
Luckily, some clans were more careful. They only sent a part of their people, and most of them waited outside for news. They had to come out within a day. When the strange beasts that went in didn't come out within a day, everyone realized that something had happened inside. Among the strange beasts that went in, there were powerful rank nine strange beasts. Rank nine strange beasts were precious to any clan. The death of a rank nine strange beast made many clans not dare to enter the God of Heaven Mountain Range again.
At this time, the sect alliances also started to take action. Each alliance sent out ten teams of twenty people to carry out the mission. However, this mission was very secretive. After all, there were many rank nine strange beasts on the continent. Luckily, the Eight Ancient Continents were too big. It was hard to meet rank nine strange beasts when they were scattered. However, no matter what, they had to be careful.
After knowing that the top clans and rank nine strange beasts of the Extreme South Sea had entered the continent, the level nine heaven masters of the thirty-one sects also started to work together. According to the plan, each sect had to send out two level nine heaven masters. In fact, they were all vice sect leaders and vice sect leaders. Sixty-two level nine heaven masters were divided into four teams. They worked together to ensure their own safety and attacked all the rank nine strange beasts they found.
Everything was carried out carefully and secretly. The Ice Fire Union, which was much weaker than the other sects, also started to take action. After two big battles, the number of Level Eight Heavenly Masters in the Ice Fire Union was reduced to only 40 people. They could only send out a team of 20 people. However, Lu An and Yao were also on their own. This meant that the Ice Fire Union had the power of three teams.
The reason why Lu An And Yao didn't act together was simple. Even if there were more rank eight strange beasts, they had the ability to leave. However, if they met a rank nine strange beast, they couldn't fight back even if they worked together. It would be a waste of time.
In a city of a small country in the Eight Ancient Continents.
This small country was in an ordinary location. It didn't have any special resources. Plus, it was surrounded by small countries. The top clans certainly wouldn't come here. Even the first and second clans wouldn't come here. After all, it wasn't difficult to search the human map. Only the third and third clans would come to such a remote place.
First-rate clans would have multiple Rank Nine Mystical Beasts, second-rate clans would only have one or two Rank Nine Mystical Beasts, and third-rate clans would have no Rank Nine Mystical Beasts but a large number of Rank Eight Mystical Beasts. Outside of third-rate clans, there would be very few Rank Eight Mystical Beasts. Therefore, the elders of the sect would try their best to choose such places for their missions. Although there was no war between the strange beast races, the powerful races were all busy seizing territories and plundering resources. It was impossible for them to care about the life and death of these third-rate races, so carrying out missions was much safer.
First, they had to destroy the third-class and non-third-class races. It would make the entire Eight Ancient Continents peaceful, which would create a chance for human beings to survive.
At this moment, this small country had already been reduced to ruins. However, unlike the Four Great Empires and the Seven Great Safe Zones, it had not been reduced to a bottomless abyss. Only the buildings had been destroyed. It was obvious that the strange beast that had attacked this city was not very powerful.
At this moment, a figure was flying at a low altitude. It was only about thirty meters away from the ground. It was none other than Lu An.
Lu An spread out his perception, covering an area of more than 60,000 feet. Naturally, the entire city was within his perception. Corpses were everywhere in the city, and the land outside the city was the same. Apparently, these people wanted to run away, but they were all killed. Blood and flesh were scattered everywhere, and no one had a complete corpse.
After seeing this kind of scene so many times, even his anger would become numb. Lu An didn't slow down. He was still flying forward. During these days, more than one hundred rank 8 strange beasts had died in his hands. Needless to say, the rank 7 strange beasts and those with lower realms had all died in his hands. Not too far ahead of the city was a mountain range that wasn't very tall. Lu An flew straight into it. At a low altitude, his senses could easily penetrate nearly three thousand feet into the ground. Under such circumstances, any hidden mystical beasts or humans would be found by him.
Right when he had just flown into the mountain range, Lu An's eyes focused. He immediately changed his direction, flying to the left side of the mountain range, which was around three thousand meters away.
Lu An's figure descended and arrived at a seemingly ordinary place in the valley. It was not far from the mountain stream. This place looked normal, but Lu An's line of sight fell on a big rock. The ground under this rock was obviously overturned. There was no grass, just a layer of soil. If the soil was pushed aside, it would create a small hole, which was just big enough for a person to crawl through.
Lu An had seen this kind of situation too many times in the past three days. Ordinary people didn't have the abilities of a heaven master. Without tools, they could only live in a natural cave, and try to use rocks to block the exit to ensure their safety. This method was useless to the strong strange beasts. However, it was better than nothing. The Eight Ancient Continents were so vast. At least, this method could save many people.
Lu An immediately moved forward. He didn't touch this rock. Instead, a blue light flashed, and he disappeared from the rock.
Right after that, the other side of the rock, which was the cave, suddenly glowed with a blue light, illuminating the dark cave.
"Ah!!!"
A series of screams rang out. It was the sound of several people shouting at the same time. They had been living in the dark for a long time. When they saw the light, they felt dazzled. After their eyes adjusted to the light, they saw a human. They were stunned!
Lu An squatted on the ground, looking at the four people one zhang away from him. He said softly, "Don't be afraid. I won't hurt you."
The reason why Lu An had to squat was because the cave was very small. He could only squat and could not stand up. It couldn't be considered a cave. It was just a cave. Lu An felt uncomfortable. He immediately raised his hand and used his strength to dig ten zhang deep into the mountain, and then widened it to one zhang high.
Boom …
The mountain changed, creating a deafening sound. The four people were so scared that their faces turned pale. They hurried to kneel on the ground, covering their ears and holding their heads. They didn't dare to stand up until everything quieted down.
"Don't be afraid," Lu An said softly again. "I'm a human, not a strange beast."
The four of them trembled when they heard Lu An's words. Only then did they dare to raise their heads. When they saw the big space behind them, they were shaken. Finally, they knew that the person in front of them wasn't an enemy. They looked at Lu An and asked, "You... are a heaven master?"
"Yes," Lu An said.
The four people suddenly showed a surprised expression. These four people were a family of four. A father, a mother, a seventeen or eighteen year old son, and a twelve or thirteen year old daughter. The middle-aged man hurriedly said excitedly, "You're so strong. Do you want to live with us? That way, you can protect us! "
"Yes, yes!" The woman also quickly nodded and said, "We will definitely serve the heaven master well. We will do whatever the heaven master wants us to do. We can even be slaves, as long as we can live!"
With that, the four people kept kowtowing to Lu An. Lu An saw this and felt a little sad. But it was only a little.
He had seen too much and was numb to it.
"I still have to help more people." Lu An said softly. Following which, his ring flashed and a huge box appeared before the four of them. Inside the box were bedding, tools, and food. At the very least, these things could allow those who were lucky enough to survive to live better lives. All the sect members who went out to perform tasks would carry the same box. They would give one to each person they met.
After putting it down, Lu An continued, "It's very dangerous outside. You guys be more careful."
With that, Lu An turned and prepared to leave.
"Heaven master!" The youngest girl suddenly opened her mouth and said with tears in her eyes, "Lord, take us with you!"
"..."
Lu An turned to look at the little girl and then at the four people. His heart ached and he really wanted to do so. But in the end, he shook his head.
The sect did have the ability to find some underground places to hide the people they found. But these people couldn't live underground at all. They couldn't grow or breathe. The sect couldn't send people to take care of them. Even if they did send people to take care of them, it was likely that they would be wiped out by the strange beasts like the seven safe zones. On the contrary, they would have a higher chance of survival if they spread out.
This was the result of the sect alliance's discussion. The Ice Fire Alliance also agreed. Lu An's figure instantly disappeared in front of the four people. He ignored their cries and ran away.
