Chapter 138 Spoils of War
Outside the continent of Kukan, in the temple of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, there is a control center. Numerous light screens display various scenes on Kukan. Some realm lords and domain lords are looking at the light screens, while the golden-robed giant "Marquis Lijin" sits there with his eyes closed, resting. Several domain lords stand beside him, but they are not paying attention to the monitoring screens like the other domain lords.
Whether it's Marquis Lijin or those realm lords and domain lords, most of their consciousness is actually within the virtual universe, so this task doesn't require much of their effort.
The entire continent of Kukan is under the surveillance of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance. The Kukan people are actually tasked with collecting important resources from the continent for the alliance and handing them over on time.
Even the occasional immortal god among the Kukan tribe has to join the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance to work.
At this moment, a domain lord spoke up: "There is an energy fluctuation, at the domain lord level."
Immediately, all the staff looked over, and even the golden-robed giant, Marquis Lijin, opened his eyes, a hint of dissatisfaction in them.
Is a battle at the Domain Lord level even worth mentioning?
"It wasn't an attack from a domain lord; there was no force, mental energy, or law fluctuation," the domain lord said. "It must be a technological weapon."
Oh? Marquis Li Jin became interested.
"Lock the position and zoom in".
In the largest light screen in the center of the hall, the jungle in the White Stone Forest suddenly appeared.
A spaceship hovered in the air. At the foot of the mountain, everything was in ruins. The once lush jungle was now a mess of broken branches and trees, swept away by the domain lord's vines into a chaotic patch of grass.
Beneath the towering mountain, where the cave once stood, lies a deep pit stretching for several kilometers.
"It's them?" The golden-robed giant, Marquis Lijin, looked on with interest. "They actually have D-grade weapons. I wonder whose they are and who they attacked."
Beside Marquis Lijin stood a beautiful female domain lord with silver hair, who smiled as she looked at the screen. "Ji Qing, Gao Sheng, Nan Si? Not bad."
The monitoring system can only detect relatively strong energy reactions; it cannot monitor every part of the mainland at all times, let alone rewind to previous scenes.
……
Gao Sheng stood on the wrecked grass, staring at the large pit.
"Fortunately, I have mastered illusion techniques, and fortunately, this La Ci has a twisted personality, which is why he can easily fall into illusions."
Gao Sheng was secretly relieved. Although he had exchanged for the first two volumes of "Nineteen Bewitching Techniques", he had only just used the initial level of the first volume. Illusion techniques were difficult to cultivate, and "Nineteen Bewitching Techniques" was even more difficult. He did not have much time to spend on it.
"This mental illusion technique can indeed be very useful in some situations, and I will need to dedicate some time to it in the future."
……
The other three went into the pit to search. Lanluo's body had recovered, but he was still a little weak.
There were several weapons in the large pit.
"Those two ninth-tier cosmic-level beings, I wonder if they are slaves or cannon fodder trained by the Logan family." Ji Qing shook his head.
The Force suits of the two men had long since been reduced to nothingness by the D6-class railgun, leaving only their weapons and spatial rings.
Nan Si used her telekinesis to return to the mountainside, controlling a ring embedded in the rock. "Brother Sheng, this."
"Hmm." Gao Sheng reached out and took it.
At this moment, Ji Qing and Lan Luo flew over. "A total of four spatial rings, two Force weapons, and one Psychic weapon. That's all."
In fact, with the sophisticated detector and the four people's mental scanning, the large pit and even the depths of the mountain were explored several times.
"There are more outside." Gao Sheng looked at the messy grass and saw ninety-six thick, blood-red vines coiled around it, each six or seven hundred meters long. These were the same Domain Lord-level Cloud-Piercing Vines from before, and their length was only a tiny bit at the tip of the vines.
Gao Sheng didn't know exactly how long the Cloud Vine was. In any case, all the other vines were reduced to ashes by the railgun, and only this tail was left. Because the bombardment range of the D6-class railgun was only about ten meters, the power of the spread was greatly reduced afterward. The main body of the Cloud Vine and most of the vines were reduced to ashes, and only this little bit remained.
Actually, even if only a small section of the Moyun Vine remains, it won't die. However, since its owner is dead, the Moyun Vine will also die.
"A Domain Lord-level plant entity." Gao Sheng looked at the blood-red vines, a thought flashing through his mind, "Little Snail!"
Whoosh! The sluice flower appeared, its aura much weaker, but fortunately all 56 blood-red flowers had recovered.
One of the large flowers magnified itself and bit into a section of vine on the ground, starting to gnaw on it.
"Hahaha, you dare hit me? I'll eat you up!" Gao Sheng could hear the triumphant shouts of the snail flower echoing in his mind.
Gao Sheng was speechless. Even plants have personalities, and his slug plant was quite eccentric.
Seeing the three of them follow, Gao Sheng first checked the spatial ring with the thorns, claiming it as his own.
It's huge. This spatial ring is over 500 meters long and wide, and over 200 meters high.
Gao Sheng canceled the acknowledgment of ownership and handed the ring to Ji Qing.
After Ji Qing took the probe, he waved his hand, and all the items were moved out.
Whoosh! Suddenly, a large number of items appeared at the foot of the mountain.
One D9-class spaceship and two C9-class spaceships!
"This is a fifth-tier weapon called 'Void Annihilation Slash'." Nan Si picked up a curved sword.
Lanluo used his telekinesis to pick up a laser gun that was over three meters long. "Master, look."
Gao Sheng took it and examined it carefully.
"This is a C9-level laser gun, a relatively new model produced by the Qianwu Universe Country," Xiao Ai said in Gao Sheng's consciousness.
C9 level? That's worth some money, at least several hundred billion cosmic coins, but it's not very useful for promotion.
Gao Sheng secretly rejoiced; if that guy hadn't been trapped in an illusion, anyone who took out this thing would have died.
"Gao Sheng, this is the detector he used. No wonder we didn't notice him getting close." Ji Qing flew over with a palm-sized object.
"Oh?" Gao Sheng took it and examined it carefully, but unfortunately he didn't recognize it, and even Xiao Ai didn't know what model it was.
Ji Qing said, "This detector costs at least eighty Chaos Units! It's a configuration for many immortal gods! Most realm lords can't afford it. Not only does it have a large detection range, but it also has the function of concealing itself. It was because it blocked my detector that they were able to sneak over."
"So expensive?" Nan Si and Lan Luo both leaned over in surprise to look at the little item.
"So valuable? Didn't you say that this La Ci was just the son of a Realm Lord from the Logan family?" Gao Sheng asked in confusion.
Ji Qing shook his head and said, "His father is a direct descendant of the Luo Gan family, holding great power. He is different from ordinary world lords. This detector may belong to his father. He was only given the temporary use because La Ci was coming to participate in the assessment."
"However, La Ci died in the illusion, and his father probably doesn't know." Ji Qing looked at Gao Sheng, his eyes shining.
Ji Qing considered herself a genius of illusion techniques, but she never expected that Gao Sheng's illusion techniques were far stronger than hers. Even the eighth-level universe-level La Ci was unable to wake up from the illusion. His psychic weapons were powerful, his swordsmanship was powerful, and even his illusion techniques were this powerful? What is there that Gao Sheng can't do?
Illusion training is very difficult, and it gets harder as you progress! It requires an extremely high level of mental willpower! Out of a hundred mentalists, there is probably only one illusionist. Someone like Nan Si has long since focused on mastery, and illusion is now just a side skill. Of course, any mentalist will practice some illusion techniques, but that can only be used to bully the weak and cannot be called an illusionist.
In fact, Ji Qing was wrong. Gao Sheng did not focus on illusion techniques. Although his illusion techniques were exquisite, they were still far inferior to hers. However, Gao Sheng was actually equivalent to a seventh-level cosmic level cultivator. With a ninety-fold increase in consciousness amplitude, he was already six or seven times stronger than Ji Qing on the basis. Therefore, the power of his illusion techniques was naturally different.
Gao Sheng shook his head and smiled. A realm lord? Holding great power? So what if he knows? Once he completes the assessment, he will definitely try to become a core member. What dares a realm lord do? What power does the Logan family have? It's nothing in front of the five major forces.
"I didn't expect that the most valuable thing on this thorn is this detector, and the second most valuable thing should be this."
Gao Sheng held a small jade box in his hand, slightly opened it, and a strong aura of life spread out.
"Snap!" Gao Sheng immediately covered it up.
It is indeed the fruit of life.
"Come on, let's divide the spoils," Gao Sheng called out.
"Gao Sheng, you two killed La Ci, and it was because of the enemy I brought here, how could I..."
Before Ji Qing could finish speaking, Nan Si interrupted, "Sister Qing, that's not right. He's coming for me. Besides, if someone is bitten by a mad dog, it can't be the bitten person's fault."
"We can forgive your plant life for not being able to absorb those demon cores before, but this time, when we kill this thorny monster, we'll do it according to what we agreed on before," Gao Sheng said.
Ji Qing was a straightforward person, so he didn't refuse anymore.
Among the items in the Lazio, apart from the detector, the space ring itself, the life fruit, the fifth-tier weapon, and the laser gun are relatively valuable, but other cultivation resources and the cultivation resources for the Moyun Vine are not expensive individually, but they add up to a lot, especially the cultivation resources, which are of course not cheap for cultivating domain lord-level plant life.
The detector has eighty units of Hunyuan, the Life Fruit has three units of Hunyuan, and the other items add up to five or six units of Hunyuan.
"Here's the Fruit of Life for you. If you use it, your Cloud Vine should be able to reach the Domain Lord level, right?" Gao Sheng said to Ji Qing.
Ji Qing nodded. Her Moyun Vine only reached the ninth level of the universe level after coming to this Kukan Continent. Originally, she planned to find breakthrough resources after leaving, and the Life Fruit was definitely one of the best resources, so there was no need to bother with it anymore.
Finally, Gao Sheng took the detector and spatial ring, and gave Ji Qing the Life Fruit, the fifth-tier weapon, the laser gun, and most of the cultivation resources.
Fifteen days later, Ji Qing's Cloud Vine broke through to the Domain Lord level and possessed 108 vines.
After Gao Sheng's sluice flower consumed more than a dozen domain lord-level vines, it broke through to the ninth level of the universe level. Gao Sheng simply asked everyone to wait a while longer. The sluice flower then consumed the remaining vines and reached the limit of the universe level. Gao Sheng then took out a life fruit and allowed the sluice flower to break through to the domain lord level. As for the other one, Gao Sheng had already given it to Nan Si.
