Chapter 218: Return and the Great Earning of Spirit Marrow

Liu Lanqing only hesitated for a moment skeptically before making a decision. “Alright! Lead the way!”
Lin Yan walked out quickly with Liu Lanqing.
He frowned and pieced together the perception of all the clones in his mind, forming a tight real-time map information.
The Corpse Buddha c.o.c.kroaches were densely packed and complicated. The best route was changing at all times, and the opportunity was fleeting.
Therefore, Lin Yan couldn’t care less that Liu Lanqing might see some flaws. Once he started charging, he immediately increased his speed to the maximum. After turning a few corners, he collided with a group of Corpse Buddha c.o.c.kroaches.
Liu Lanqing clearly paused, but Lin Yan’s voice did not change. “Kill!”
Without needing Lin Yan to do anything, these small Corpse Buddha c.o.c.kroaches were like children facing an adult under Liu Lanqing’s hands. They were all killed.
Stepping on the Corpse Buddha c.o.c.kroaches’ corpses, the two of them continued forward.
Although Liu Lanqing’s heart skipped a beat and she felt that Lin Yan was a little rash to barge out, she could only believe him now.
Just like that, Lin Yan brought Liu Lanqing along the underground waterway at high speed. When they encountered the Corpse Buddha c.o.c.kroaches, they killed them on the spot and quickly broke through.
Occasionally, at critical moments, Lin Yan would pretend to stick to the rock wall and listen before continuing forward.
As he charged forward, he actually didn’t encounter a situation where he was surrounded by a large number of Corpse Buddha c.o.c.kroaches. The more Liu Lanqing moved forward, the more at ease she felt. She was also increasingly curious about Lin Yan.
Could he hear the distribution of underground waterways with his ears alone?
This sounded unbelievable, but if not, how could Lin Yan accurately find a safe gap in the encirclement of thousands of Corpse Buddha c.o.c.kroaches?
It could only be said that Lin Yan indeed had an extremely mysterious special talent!
After walking for an unknown distance, the two of them had already killed no less than a hundred Corpse Buddha c.o.c.kroaches.
Lin Yan suddenly stopped in his tracks and took a deep breath. “Issuer Liu, it’s going to be a tough battle next. We have to kill through the path ahead as quickly as possible so that we can meet up with the reinforcements! Otherwise… we’ll be surrounded by the Corpse Buddha c.o.c.kroaches that rushed over from behind!”
Liu Lanqing’s breathing slowly quickened. Without Lin Yan’s reminder, Liu Lanqing already knew how many Corpse Buddha c.o.c.kroaches were scattered on the path ahead just from the dense sounds of the Corpse Buddha c.o.c.kroach that seemed to drown the entire underground pa.s.sageway!
However, she was fearless and her killing intent was awe-inspiring. “Let’s go!”
At the entrance of the pa.s.sageway.
Ling Shuangxue was wearing a tight anti-poison suit and exuded a coldness that prevented strangers from entering. It was the true coldness that froze the Netherworld River and covered the surroundings with thick ice.
Beside her, Bai Ling, Wu Qinglei, Fan Xiaopeng, Ning Xiaohui, and the other people from Qianyuan Academy were also fully armed and followed her.
In front and behind them were densely packed Corpse Buddha c.o.c.kroaches that almost occupied the entire pa.s.sageway. However, at this moment, they were congested in front of Ling Shuangxue and company and did not approach them.
This was completely dependent on the horn in Ling Shuangxue’s hand. It was as long as an arm and had a huge curved horn.
Its entire body was waxy yellow and not smooth. It was covered in circles of rough and cold patterns. Moreover, it made people feel an extremely strong attraction when they saw it.
This was an Unusual Item. Furthermore, it was an extremely precious Black
Grade Unusual Item. It was the horn of a beast demon called the Five-Colored
Golden Devil Ox.
This Devil Ox was an extremely powerful and ruthless character among the beast demons. Its horns contained a unique might that could naturally intimidate ordinary beasts or ferocious beasts.
Of course, due to this special effect, the value of the horns was naturally more precious than ordinary Black Grade Unusual Items.
As they were facing the Corpse Buddha c.o.c.kroaches this time, the Head of the Academy specially lent them this Unusual Item and they brought it here.
The last time Ling Shuangxue attacked, she was in too much of a hurry and was almost surrounded by the Corpse Buddha c.o.c.kroach.
After returning, she specially took this bull horn. After making appropriate preparations, she attacked again.
It had indeed temporarily stunned the Corpse Buddha c.o.c.kroaches, but the problem was…
Ling Shuangxue looked ahead. The densely packed Corpse Buddha c.o.c.kroaches that almost blocked the entire pa.s.sageway without any gaps…
There was no way to walk over at all!
The intimidation of the bull horn was limited. The Corpse Buddha c.o.c.kroach in the front row had already begun to stir, eager to give it a try.
Ling Shuangxue was wondering if she should start a ma.s.sacre and kill her way into the path.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the Corpse Buddha c.o.c.kroach group.
Ling Shuangxue acutely sensed that there was a burnt smell in the air. There was also a faint heat wave that surged out from behind the Corpse Buddha c.o.c.kroach group.
As for the Corpse Buddha c.o.c.kroach group, they seemed to have begun to stir.
Ling Shuangxue’s eyes lit up. With a step, a layer of frost spread out, freezing the Corpse Buddha c.o.c.kroaches’ abdomens.
“Attack! Charge in!”
Hearing his order, the surrounding people immediately let go. The Corpse Buddha c.o.c.kroaches finally couldn’t hold back their ferocity and fought with them.
However, not long after, everyone realized that the Corpse Buddha c.o.c.kroach group seemed to be panicking!
Something must have happened behind. Many Corpse Buddha c.o.c.kroaches turned around and surged behind!
“All Qing is out! Coordinating from the inside and outside is just right!”
Ling Shuangxue revealed a look of joy, and she even let go of her hands and feet. Frost power surged out unscrupulously, freezing and shattering a large area of Corpse Buddha c.o.c.kroaches in front of her.
Soon, everyone felt a surge of heat and immediately realized that what Ling Shuangxue said was true!
Their eyes were filled with joy as they used all their strength to attack the Corpse Buddha c.o.c.kroaches.
Not long after, two figures appeared behind the Corpse Buddha c.o.c.kroach group. One of them was burning with flames, cutting the enemies like melons and vegetables as if she was in no one’s territory. The other followed behind, occasionally picking up a Spirit Marrow or something.
“Issuer Liu!”
“All Qing!”
“That’s great!”
Everyone was overjoyed. Not long after, the two parties gathered.
Liu Lanqing could not hide the joy in her eyes. She was really out!
How did he do it?
Lin Yan actually found the path so accurately and really met up with them!
At this moment, Ling Shuangxue also heaved a sigh of relief, but her words were unforgiving. “Ah Qing, look at you. You’re in such a sorry state. After so long, your clothes must be sour and smelly!”
Liu Lanqing snorted and nodded at Bai Ling and the others. “Let’s go out first!”
There were not many Corpse Buddha c.o.c.kroaches surrounding them at the back. A group of n.o.ble Realm experts was powerful. Before long, they rushed out of the underground waterway and returned to the camp through the poisonous fog.
Lin Yan looked up at the sky and heaved a long sigh of relief when he saw the sliver of light in the sky. No matter what, the dim yellow sky view of the underground plain was too oppressive.
Many experts and genius seeds from the prefecture capital came out one after another. They looked at them in surprise. They did not expect Liu Lanqing to really escape from the underground waterway!
“Issuer Liu, I’m a little tired. I’ll go back first…”
Liu Lanqing looked at Lin Yan deeply. “Go back and rest. It’s all thanks to you this time.”
Hearing Liu Lanqing’s words, Ling Shuangxue, Bai Ling, and the others looked at Lin Yan with different expressions.
Lin Yan ignored them and nodded before quickly returning to his tent.
He was really tired. However, when he took out his bag and saw the 40 to 50 first-grade Spirit Marrows, he became excited again.
The main force to kill the Corpse Buddha c.o.c.kroaches was naturally Liu Lanqing.
Even if he followed behind and occasionally picked up Spirit Marrow, he did not dare to waste time, so he only picked up 40 to 50 pieces.
This was only something he had picked up casually. At this moment, there were countless corpses of Corpse Buddha c.o.c.kroaches left in the underground waterway!
Therefore, he could not rest yet!
In order to prevent the Corpse Buddha c.o.c.kroaches from digging up the Spirit Marrows, Lin Yan hurriedly sat down cross-legged and controlled the clones scattered in the entire underground waterway. It was time for them to work!
Just like that, he kept controlling his clones to dig out the Spirit Marrows. He worked until the sky turned dark before secretly digging out most of the Corpse Buddha c.o.c.kroaches’ Spirit Marrows and hiding them everywhere.
“This time, we dug out six to seven hundred first-grade Spirit Marrows!
“If all of them are converted to Enlightenment Spiritual Light, not counting the increase in consumption, 1 can at least obtain 40 Enlightenment Spiritual Lights!”
In the past few days, in order to use the Azure Dragon Riding Wind and Thunder as a blueprint to create and deduce the Force Feature, he had already used up more than half of the 12 Enlightenment Spiritual Lights he had acc.u.mulated previously.
Of course, the results were also extremely obvious.
He had at least tested four or five Force Features that had reached the Jade Grade!
This was the difference between having a reference and not having a reference. Compared to when he was randomly testing the Fire Force Feature like a headless fly, the efficiency was countless times higher.
Of course, it was also because the effect of the Enlightenment Spiritual Light was powerful.
This Enlightenment Spiritual Light could not only help him comprehend martial arts techniques, but also stimulate his creativity and thinking power to a large extent. It was precisely because of the input of the Enlightenment Spiritual Light that he could deduce so many Force Features in a short period of time.
He was originally worried that there was too little Enlightenment Spiritual Light. He still had many martial arts techniques that had yet to reach 100% proficiency.
Now that he had a pillow when he was sleepy, he directly got 40!
“However, while 1 do have the Jade Grade Force Feature, 1 don’t have any corresponding Jade Grade Unusual Items.
“1 used the useless fruit of the Wind Thunder Fruits as an experiment.
“Therefore, what is needed is a Jade Grade Unusual Item similar to the Wind Thunder Fruit.
“The price and value of it definitely far exceed my imagination.
“But it’s not like there’s no chance.
“There are countless huge treasures waiting to be developed in the underground plains. There are Unusual Items among the Mud Fruits, and there might be even more Unusual Items in that huge poisonous lake?
“To others, it’s a dragon’s pool or a tiger’s den. Once you enter, you’ll have a slim chance of survival. However, to me, it’s not.
If 1 can plunder and obtain some precious Unusual Items, I might have a chance of finding the Unusual Items I need…”
With a thought, Lin Yan transferred his consciousness to the four Mud Fruit clones.
He had been busy plundering the Spirit Marrows just now and only occasionally changed the four Mud Fruits to new Corpse Buddha c.o.c.kroaches to devour. He had completely forgotten about them.
At this moment, their bodies became even more c.u.mbersome and seemed to be bigger.
“As long as I can control the Mud Fruit clone skillfully and wrap it around me, the Corpse Buddha c.o.c.kroach will no longer be a threat.. I can also go to the entire underground world freely in the future!”
