Chapter 387
“Strange, why did the beasts start going berserk so abruptly? The beast tide retreated before we even got out …”
A few dozen meters away from Lu Sheng and his team, several members of a star squad, covered in blood, rushed out of the fissure.
Lu Sheng glanced in that direction and quickly asked the Tiger Scorpion squad to leave.
“Let’s go.”
“Yes, Sir.”
They quickly found the place where they had parked earlier.
Three off-road vehicles were parked there intact, untouched.
The four members of the Tiger Scorpion squad piled the Mithril blocks they brought back into the vehicles.
The three vehicles were filled to the brim, with the tires sinking several inches.
At this moment, the four of them admired Lu Sheng’s foresight even more. If Lu Sheng hadn’t told them to bring two extra vehicles, they would have had to carry the Mithril blocks to the safe zone before calling a helicopter for pickup.
Without delay, they drove back.
On the way, they coincidentally encountered several members of the Hongluo squad.
The Hongluo squad was standing on a high spot in the wilderness, waiting for a helicopter to pick them up.
The two squads only exchanged brief greetings.
The sight of the three vehicles from the Tiger Scorpion squad filled with Mithril ore gave them a shock.
“My goodness, the Tiger Scorpion squad is so lucky. They found a Mithril mine in the cavern with such high purity. They’ve struck it rich …”
A Hongluo squad member watched the departing vehicles enviously.
Hongluo captain Luo Zhen’s eyes flickered. He glanced at the speaker and snorted, “Lucky? That’s skill. If you had that much Mithril ore, could you get it out of the cavern alive? Don’t forget, there was a breakout in the cavern …”
“Oh, right …”
Only then did the Hongluo squad members show realization and a bit of shock.
“Right, there was breakout. The Tiger Scorpion squad carried so much Mithril, hindering their movement. How did they get out? They don’t even look hurt …”
“When did their strength become so formidable?”
They were both amazed and doubtful, realizing something was off.
Luo Zhen’s face was complex as he said, “Didn’t you notice the license plate of the leading vehicle? DZ0002! How many people in the Ninth War Zone can use such a plate? A top general’s vehicle!”
“A top general?!”
The team members exclaimed, looking incredulous.
“How does the Tiger Scorpion squad have such connections? Captain, you must be joking, right?”
Before Luo Zhen could reply, a team member with dreadlocks exclaimed while checking his communication watch.
“The captain is right! I found it! There’s a new twelve-star General in our Ninth War Zone!”
Everyone quickly gathered to read the information, gasping in astonishment.
A twelve-star general!
A top grandmaster!
Ranked fourth on the total star list!
And the familiar young face in the profile photo shocked their minds.
“Isn’t that … the rookie from the Tiger Scorpion squad?!”
A Hongluo team member stuttered.
“Rookie my foot!”
Luo Zhen spoke, his face filled with undisguised regret.
“That’s a real big shot! Damn, I misjudged. Missed a great chance to latch onto a powerful ally …”
The other Hongluo members had similarly complex expressions, thinking of how they had shared a cave, drank, and chatted with a twelve-star general. Their feelings were mixed.
…
“Just leave the things here. When the profits are calculated, your share will be transferred to your accounts.”
At the manor villa entrance, Lu Sheng spoke to the Tiger Scorpion squad.
“Yes, Sir.”
The four had no objections. After helping Lu Sheng move all the Mithril blocks into the manor, they left sensibly.
Lu Sheng casually tossed the off-road vehicle keys to Li Die and instructed: “Get some food ready and notify Wang Ye from the military department to come over …”
Then he went upstairs for a bath and rest.
The beasts he killed in the cavern had been automatically reported to the military upon exiting.
The military would handle the calculation and recognition of his contributions, saving him a trip to the mission center.
Lu Sheng went to his room on the second floor, took off his dirty combat uniform, and had a bath.
Overall, this trip to the cavern was smooth. Not only did he retrieve the Mithril ore, but he also gained some important information.
It took only four days in total.
After bathing, Lu Sheng came out and found that Wang Ye from the military hadn’t arrived yet, so he entered the Dream World.
In the Dream World, Lu Sheng directly accessed the Photon Mind to search for information about the cavern consciousness in the Fireseed Repository.
After a while, Lu Sheng exhaled deeply.
He had found the answer he sought.
“The Second Battlefield!”
This was the result Lu Sheng obtained.
The Fireseed Repository indicated that the world martial arts alliance’s higher-ups had long discovered clues of the otherworldly powerhouses.
In the future, the main battlefield between humans and beasts would shift from the surface …
To the “Abyss”!
“The abyss, according to the Fireseed Repository, is the spatial rift created when two worlds collide and overlap. These rifts vary in size and thickness. Those thick enough would form a twisted gray zone that could accommodate the descent of top powerhouses from the other world. This is what is referred to as … the Second Battlefield!”
