Five Days!
Almost all the Green Dwarfs in the small world were killed, leaving behind only some tribe or clan leaders. Those ones were kept alive on Lu Li"s orders because he wanted to get some information. Otherwise, they would have been killed as well.
There were seven or eight thousand people searching, turning the small world upside down. They didn"t find Bai Qiuxue but they did find hundreds of strange places in caves or tunnels.
n.o.ble Lord Realm warriors each led their own teams to go look for the strange places and they would rule some out. After three days, they located three areas.
One of them was an underground cave, a very deep one. Zi Huanyu went down there in person and he didn"t reach the bottom after he traveled for hundreds of miles. He was afraid to do deeper and came back to report.
The second such area was discovered by a patriarch of the Cyan Phoenix Race. It was a mud puddle which seemed to be bottomless as well. The patriarch dived in for more than 300 miles without reaching the bottom.
The third one was a cave with many toxins and poisons inside. Not even n.o.ble Lord Realm warriors dared to go in. The cave was dark and deep, and psychic powers could not tell where it would end.
Lu Li brought an army over to the cave nearest to them. He asked Ye Cha, Zi Huanqiao, and Ming Yu to go down. The three of them could help each other. Lu Li told them that they must reach the bottom this time.
After six hours, they came back. They reached the bottom without finding anything. Lu Li waved his hands in disappointment and said, "Let"s go to the second place."
The toxin-filled cave was not far away from where they were so they reached it in half a day. Lu Li could tell from the distance that the cave was emitting purple fog and he smelt a harsh smell before he moved any closer.
"Blow the cave open!"
Lu Li chose the roughest way. Many Eternal Realm warriors released their Xuan Energy and blew the cave entrance into dust. Then Lu Li asked them to continue and blow up the entire mountain. Since the toxic fog stood in the way, then he would just blow a path open and disperse the toxins.
"Boom, boom, boom~"
Rocks were flying around, earth was shaking, and dust was rising up. Soon, the mountain was blown up. The cave was burst open and the toxic fog was dispersed. n.o.ble Lord Realm warriors sent their psychic powers in.
However…
The mountain was leveled but they discovered the cave turned to underground. They could not blow up the ground. Lu Li said to Yu Huashen, "Protect yourself with your sparkles and go down there."
Without hesitation, Yu Huashen went down. He wouldn"t be poisoned with his sparkles and flames protecting him. This was a duty he could not shy away from. The others waited, looking into the purple fog covered entrance.
Yu Huashen came back up in two hours. He shook his head and said, "There is nothing. Down there is the lair of a kind of ancient Xuan Beasts. The toxic fog comes from the Xuan Beasts."
There was only one place left!
Lu Li flew over to the mud puddle and arrived in half a day. It was quite large with a radius of more than three miles. There was an appalling smell that could be sensed from afar. In the puddle were black mud and some low rank Xuan Beasts lurking inside.
Lu Li waved his hand and gave his order. Ye Cha went down with his four patriarchs. Lu Li, some n.o.ble Lord Realm warriors, and more than 30 at the peak of the Eternal Realm waited in midair.
An hour pa.s.sed!
"Bang~"
Mud flew out. Ye Cha and the four patriarchs flew back up. Ye Cha"s face was covered in mud but he said in excitement, "Young Master, we have found it."
Lu Li was relieved and asked, "What is it?"
Ye Cha replied, "There is a sign of Inhibition Formations down there. We didn"t dare to go in."
"What are we waiting for, then? Let"s go!"
Lu Li was about to fly down on his Fate Wheel when Yu Huashen stopped him and said, "Young Master, you cannot do that. Let us go."
"Move~"
Lu Li glared at Yu Huashen. All the n.o.ble Lord Realm warriors from the Northern Desert were here, all 13 of them. There were 35 warriors at the peak of Eternal Realm. It could be said that all the powerful warriors of the Northern Desert were here. If they could not take down this new small world, they might as well send the Northern Desert to the Yellow Goblin Race.
Yu Huashen didn"t dare to say another word after Lu Li got angry. Ming Yu knew Lu Li very well so he didn"t try to stop Lu Li even if he was worried.
They flew down and dashed towards the bottom of the mud puddle. In two hours, they reached the bottom. Many of them felt the tremble of Inhibition Formations.
"Blood Claw!"
Lu Li"s right hand became a beast claw and he released his Burning Blood Skill. Yu Huashen made great efforts and led the way. Ye Cha followed them and they made their way towards where the Inhibition Formation was.
"Eh?"
Many people"s eyes flickered. Anyone that had gone near the Inhibition Formation disappeared. Lu Li waved his hand flew into the Inhibition Formation.
"Buzzing~"
As they had expected, this was a Teleportation Formation. With a light coming up to their faces, Lu Li and the others found themselves in a bizarre world.
The world was so dazzling bright that they felt they were blinded. The Xuan Qi here was very profound, much more so than in the world of the Cyan Phoenix Race. Trees were verdant and there was a river in the distance. It was quite a beautiful scene.
Ye Cha and the others stayed together. None of them dared to move. The profound Xuan Qi here indicated whatever races lived here must not be weak. There might be some races more powerful than the Yellow Goblin Race.
"Let"s go wash this off!"
Lu Li led them to the river and cleaned themselves. Ye Cha and some others got changed quickly and started patrolling nearby.
"Bang, bang, bang~"
After a moment, there came some m.u.f.fled sounds from the east. Lu Li and the warriors hurried over and saw a patriarch of the Cyan Phoenix Race was being attacked by more than 10 Yellow Goblins.
"Ming Yu!"
Lu Li yelled and Ming Yu released Force at once and contained the patriarch of the Cyan Phoenix Race and the more than 10 Yellow Goblins.
"Whoosh~"
While rus.h.i.+ng out, Ye Cha cut off the veins on a Yellow Goblin with the hooks he had and then cut off this Yellow Goblin"s limbs. After that, Ye Cha brought the Yellow Goblin and withdrew quickly.
"Bang~"
As before, the rest of the Yellow Goblins exploded themselves and sent some patriarchs of the Cyan Phoenix Race into flying.
"Nice!"
Finally, one of them was captured alive. Lu Li turned to Ye Cha said, "All yours, Clan Leader Ye!"
Ye Cha nodded and left with one of his patriarchs. Lu Li asked the others to sit nearby and put their guards up until Ye Cha was done.
Ye Cha came back after one hour with such glow in his eyes. He whispered to Lu Li, "Saint Lord, we may be getting loaded this time."
"Loaded?"
Lu Li was confused. He was only here to save Bai Qiuxue, which had yielded no result yet. What loaded?
Ye Cha gazed into the distance and said, "I have gathered much information with my secret skill. I have a complete understanding of this entire world. This is a very big one, twice or three times the size of Northern Desert and abundant in treasures. There are 18 races here and the most powerful two are the t.i.tan Race and the Stellar Race. The heads of both races are at the Human Sovereign Realm."
"t.i.tan Race? Stellar Race? Human Sovereign Realm?"
Lu Li frowned. If there were two at the Human Sovereign Realm, they could be faced with a risky journey. Why wasn"t Ye Cha afraid? Why was he excited instead?
Ye Cha grinned and said, "Saint Lord, there is something you don"t know. t.i.tan Race are huge and they have very strong muscles. But they are not that smart. We can make them work for us."
"Um…"
Lu Li blinked in confusion. Then he suddenly remembered something and yelled, "Is there any…connection between the t.i.tan Race and the Mammoth Race?"
"Ha, ha~"
Ye Cha smiled and explained, "More than that. Technically speaking… t.i.tan Race is the descendant of the Mammoth Race. t.i.tan Race is a mutated race as a result of marriages between Mammoth Race and another race!"
