Chapter 275 Entering Giant Pine City
Li Hansong quickly completed his breakthrough, successfully building five bridges between heaven and earth to advance to the middle stage of the fifth rank.
"Old Li, how does this breakthrough feel? Is there anything different?" Qin Fengqing went up and patted Li Hansong on the shoulder.
"Huh? It's different, no." Li Hansong was puzzled by Qin Fengqing's attitude and didn't pay much attention to his question.
"Don't you feel like you've changed in any other way? After all, you were able to build five bridges between heaven and earth in one go, while we built them one by one," Qin Fengqing asked indirectly.
"No, I just feel my qi and blood are increasing, and I feel that my qi and blood have recovered a bit stronger," Li Hansong said. "Alright, let's go and see what's going on in that small town." Qin Fengqing didn't say anything more, and Lu Hao would know when he had time to take a look later.
The three of them soon headed towards a small town.
On the other side, Lu Hao, after bypassing the passage and traveling about two hundred kilometers, saw a large city in Giant Pine City. This was the first time Lu Hao had been so close to a large underground city. If it weren't for his stealth ability, he wouldn't have dared to get this close at all.
The underground royal city was built much better than Hope City in Shanghai. It had towering city walls and many martial arts teams patrolling the city gate.
It looks like an ancient town, but the most unique thing is that there is a towering tree in the middle of the town, which looks like a pine tree. This is the guardian demon plant of this town.
Lu Hao saw that the dense energy particles were forming rain above the city.
The pine tree canopy is absorbing and releasing energy in these energy liquids. No wonder there are so many high-grade items in the underground cave. In such an environment, anyone with a little talent can become a mid-grade item, and someone with slightly better talent can become a high-grade item.
For humans, having some talent is considered low-grade, having high talent is considered mid-grade, and only those with extraordinary talent have the potential to become high-grade.
Reaching a high level of attainment is not solely determined by talent; one must also avoid unexpected setbacks along the way and seize various opportunities. In comparison, the human condition is far more difficult.
Lu Hao did not rush in, but waited here, intending to capture one or two prisoners to ask about the situation inside.
Lu Hao quickly saw an opportunity: a squad of underground warriors emerged from the city gate, seemingly on their way out on a mission.
The highest-ranking martial artist was only at the sixth rank, which Lu Hao could handle without even using his blood and qi; he could deal with him with just a little spiritual energy.
Lu Hao followed the group out of the royal city. After traveling about twenty or thirty kilometers, Lu Hao made his move, unleashing his mental power.
As they charged towards the martial arts squad, the underground warriors in the squad fell to the ground one after another, leaving only the leader of the underground warriors kneeling on the ground.
Of course, this wasn't because Lu Hao made a mistake, but because he only destroyed half of the sixth-grade martial artist's spiritual power; otherwise, where would he have gotten the information?
Lu Hao approached the cave dweller and instantly transmitted his thoughts: "Speak, what's the situation in your city?" The cave dweller, whose spiritual power had been halved by Lu Hao, was already terrified. He never expected that he would go out to collect taxes in the surrounding villages.
As a result, he was attacked by mental energy; the powerful figure in front of him was at least a martial artist above the commander level.
He was the kind of person who was afraid of death, and when he saw the powerful leader asking about the situation in the city, he trembled all over. "This is not a powerful person from Giant Pine City?"
Could it be Giant Willow City?
Or are they simply powerful beings from beyond the realm?
Despite having countless guesses in his mind, the man began to recount everything in detail in the face of the threat of death.
Lu Hao also learned a lot about the underground world from him. The large city he had just seen was called Giant Pine City, and its guardian was the giant pine tree he had seen. There were many villages, towns, and smaller cities around it. In Giant Pine City, the Pine King was the city lord, and he had three eighth-rank Venerables and more than ten seventh-rank commanders under his command. There were also other Venerables in the city.
When the passage first opened, the city of Giant Willow was the one fighting against humanity. Giant Willow was closer to the passage, so they launched an attack but were repelled. Afterwards, the Willow King sought help from the Pine King, who was furious upon learning that his offspring had been killed by powerful beings from beyond the realm.
So he led the three Venerables and seven Commanders to set off directly to attack the enemies from beyond the realm.
Through the description of this sixth-rank underground martial artist, Lu Hao also learned that the person who was seriously injured by Principal Chen's self-destruction was the offspring of the Pine King.
Lu Hao couldn't help but shake his head. He couldn't let the Pine King know this, otherwise even if he had nine lives, it wouldn't be enough to survive against a ninth-rank expert. Upon learning that there was no ninth-rank expert in the Giant Pine City in front of him, only a Venerable, Lu Hao was no longer so panicked. After all, even if he was discovered, he could still escape from an eighth-rank expert.
After asking the question, Lu Hao glanced at the sixth-grade underground cave warrior who was kneeling and begging for mercy. "Since you've taken such a proactive approach, I can't let you suffer too much." With a thought, Lu Hao's mental energy caused the sixth-grade underground cave warrior kneeling on the ground to fall to the ground instantly.
After burying all the houses underground and cleaning up the surrounding traces, Lu Hao used stealth to head towards Giant Pine City.
Arriving near the city, Lu Hao circled around and came to the side of Giant Pine City. It was inconvenient for him to enter through the main gate, since everyone else could sense his presence, but he couldn't. If they didn't investigate him, who would they investigate?
With stealth activated, Lu Hao was able to reach the city wall, where even the giant pine tree's spiritual energy couldn't reach him.
They began to sneak up the city wall. Gao Pin was used to using his mental energy to scan, and since his mental energy didn't detect anything, he naturally didn't find anything.
Lu Hao quickly entered the city.
The city was bustling with people, and if it weren't for the fact that he was in an underground cave, Lu Hao would have felt like he had traveled back to ancient times.
Lu Hao didn't dare to appear on the street rashly. He secretly found a house near the city wall and went inside. If anything unexpected happened there, he could easily escape.
Lu Hao entered the room, set up several layers of mental energy barriers around him, and began digging downwards.
He didn't take out his God-Slaying Blade either, in case it was exposed. Lu Hao started digging with his hands instead.
Lu Hao, relying on his own two hands, broke through the poverty of his family (/_). It must be said that the hands of a Grandmaster are indeed very powerful, their strength no less than that of A-grade alloy, and they can dig incredibly fast.
Once you reach the eighth rank of the Forged Golden Body, its strength will probably surpass that of Grade A alloy.
Lu Hao put all the excavated soil into his storage space. Anyway, the space was infinitely large, so what was this soil?
Digging downwards at an angle, at first it was just normal soil, occasionally there was some blood, broken objects and such, which should be traces left by the battle between the cave warriors.
Soon Lu Hao saw a crystal-clear root. This root did not look like a natural thing. It seemed to be made of crystal. If it were on Earth, it would definitely be regarded as a treasure by many collectors and displayed in a museum.
But here, Lu Hao didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
