Chapter 486 404 Surrounded

Chapter 486: Chapter 404: Surrounded Chapter 486: Chapter 404: Surrounded “hihihi~”

Ruan Ruan saw that Su Yuan did not take the Ink Qilin as his beast and was secretly happy again.

Besides… I have a little brother now!

Ruan Ruan thought of the name Su Yuan gave her. Excitedly, she suggested: “Master, master, this big black one is so tough. How about calling him Toughy?”

“Roar!…” The already heavily injured Ink Qilin coughed up a mouthful of blood, as if hit hard, and howled in pain.

The Demon Soul beside them couldn’t help but burst into laughter. Then he waved his hand, turned into a red light, and returned to Su Yuan’s body.

Su Yuan rubbed his forehead, exasperated, and looked at the Ink Qilin. After a moment’s thought, he said: “Let’s call him Mo Fei.”

“Mo Fei?” Ruan Ruan nodded, turned to look at the Ink Qilin, and placed her hands on her hips. “Little Mo, from now on, besides the master, I’m your boss. You can call me Sister Ruan Ruan. Got it?”

“Roar!”

The Ink Qilin let out a sigh of relief and responded softly.

Being seriously injured and frightened by the name Ruan Ruan gave, the Ink Qilin looked as if it was on the verge of death.

Su Yuan raised his hand. A Holy Light Baptism enveloped it, giving it a breath of life.

“Ruan Ruan, Sea Soul Protection.”

“Oh!” Ruan Ruan also realized that the Ink Qilin seemed on the brink of collapse. She hurriedly used Sea Soul Protection to heal it, afraid that her newly acquired little brother might just drop dead.

After all, Sea Soul Protection was an epic skill. Although the healing effect was secondary, combined with the Ink Qilin’s powerful body recovery trait, it was enough to prevent the injury from worsening.

However, it was too severely injured. Su Yuan estimated that it wouldn’t recover anytime soon. He waved his hand and stored Ruan Ruan and the Ink Qilin into the Qingming Realm.

Su Yuan looked at the Pulse Drawing Bead, intending to store it in his ring, only to find it wouldn’t go in. Forcing it in might even cause the entire ring to collapse.

“Is the star vein too powerful?”

Su Yuan thought for a moment, then tried placing the Pulse Drawing Bead into the Qingming Realm.

This time, there was no obstruction.

“Clang!!” The voice of the Azure Sky Phoenix suddenly resounded in his mind.

At this moment, Su Yuan could clearly feel an intense craving for the Pulse Drawing Bead emanating from the Qingming Realm!

“Indeed, the Qingming Realm also craves the star vein…”

Su Yuan bowed his head in thought for a while, then calmed himself and took out the High Stage Positioning Talisman.

His star vein extraction had succeeded. He wondered if Tian Bulue’s side was going smoothly.

However, upon checking, Su Yuan was quite surprised.

“It’s not over yet?”

At this moment, Tian Bulue and Baili Ge were still together at the previous location.

As for Yan Changming, he was still rushing full tilt.

Not only that, but even Baili Ge’s positioning marker had activated and was signaling.

Since Baili Ge was already with Tian Bulue, they hadn’t found a new wolf vein. The only reason Baili Ge would repeatedly signal was that…

“Is there something tricky going on?”

Su Yuan narrowed his eyes. A surge of bright silver light emerged from his body and quickly coalesced in front of him. In a short moment, a space gate burst open.

Then, Su Yuan stepped into it and disappeared from where he stood.

Upon the desert,

The earth qi churned, and star power gushed!

Countless yet intangible yellow streams, sensed by spiritual sense, roiled and converged over the sea of sand like dragon breaths.

All around this place, many creatures had already gathered.

Most of them were lower third-level star beasts from nearby.

Due to the loud commotion caused by the birth of a new wolf vein, even some nearby Shining Star Beasts had hurried over. There were already seven or eight present.

At this moment, Tian Bulue and the newly arrived Baili Ge were hiding in a sand hole in a certain part of the desert.

Tian Bulue was glad he had signaled immediately.

If he were alone, although dealing with these star beasts wouldn’t be a problem, he wouldn’t have enough hands to ensure no unexpected incident occurred during the pulse extraction.

“In a little while, this wolf vein will be formed.” Baili Ge, with his arms crossed, watched the constantly converging wolf vein with excitement on his face. “Pay close attention. This kind of opportunity is hard to come by on Blue Sea Star~”

Hearing this, anticipation rose in Tian Bulue’s eyes as well.

Star veins were the origin of star power born from the earth qi.

During their birth, a lot of dispersed star power essence burst forth. This star power essence could significantly boost the star power accumulation of both Star Card Masters and Star Beasts.

Before long, accompanied by a high-pitched wolf howl, the tumultuous scene suddenly quieted.

Then, layer upon layer of star power essence surged outward like rolling white clouds!

Wherever they passed, the barren sandy land was imbued with strong vitality. In the desolate desert, patches of green began to slowly spread out.

Truly divine creation!

“The wolf vein is formed!” Baili Ge reminded, then fully activated his star sea to absorb and refine the surrounding star power essence!

In just a short moment, both Baili Ge and Tian Bulue felt their usually slow-growing star seas rapidly filling with star power and visibly growing stronger.

“Such a strong effect!” The two of them were overjoyed.

Blue Sea Star was already a mature world. It hadn’t seen new star veins for countless years, so there were no star vein eruptions.

They had only learned about star veins and their effects during their preparation for this trip. But they hadn’t expected the effects to be this potent!

Opportunities like today’s were indeed “once in a thousand years”!

Whether star beasts or humans, no one could remain indifferent.

At this moment, as the star power was being absorbed and refined, different auras kept appearing around them.

Baili Ge scanned the surroundings and sneered.

“Quite a few people are hiding…”

After a long while, the star power essence ejected from the wolf vein finally started to slow down.

Baili Ge stopped absorbing the essence a bit earlier, thought for a moment, then made sealing hand signs. The yellow sand outside instantly solidified into several inconspicuous sand worms that burrowed into the ground and rapidly spread out.

Baili Ge closed his eyes again, attaching his consciousness to these numerous sand worm spies to investigate the surrounding situation.

Beside him, Tian Bulue noticed Baili Ge’s actions and promptly stopped his cultivation.

A while later, Baili Ge reopened his eyes.

“Special Envoy Baili, what’s the situation?” Tian Bulue asked.

“These nameless individuals are hiding, waiting for their moment. But they’re just petty thieves!” Baili Ge sneered and turned to Tian Bulue.

“Special Envoy Tian, are you ready?”

Tian Bulue thought for a moment, then nodded, “Let’s go!”

“Oh?” Baili Ge was slightly surprised, then grinned, “Then let’s go!”

Tian Bulue preferred being cautious, ideally waiting until Yan Changming arrived so the three of them could securely claim the star vein together.

However, in a team, differing opinions were fine, but disunity in action was fatal.

Tian Bulue knew he couldn’t hold Baili Ge back, so he might as well act according to his way.

After all, Baili Ge had a point.

As first-level special envoys of the Sky Patrol Department, they were elite masters able to handle most situations alone; why bother being overly cautious!

Baili Ge led the charge, leaping out of the sand hole, followed closely by Tian Bulue.

The moment they took flight, they immediately attracted the attention of all star beasts and external parties.

Several kilometers away, behind a formation of rocky ground, a group of people in dark blue uniforms observed.

These were the Firehawk Guards of the Yanluo Country, a special force similar to the Sky Patrol Department’s special envoys.

The leader, a black-haired man who appeared to be a David of the Firehawk Guards, equal in rank to a first-level special envoy of the Sky Patrol Department, observed through his armband.

“It really is the Great Flame Sky Patrol!” Wei Zong, the black-haired man, said solemnly.

Beside him, Central Guard Yan Jin asked: “Wei David, those two from the Sky Patrol seem to have arrived first. They also want this wolf vein. What should we do?”

Wei Zong’s eyes narrowed as he watched the distant Baili Ge and Tian Bulue, then asked without turning his head, “Miao Ping, how many people are around?”

A female Central Guard behind Wei Zong had her eyes closed and hands on her chest. She replied, “Under Mind Detection, excluding us, there are over ten others.”

“That many?” Yan Jin and the others were quite surprised.

Miao Ping opened her eyes and said, “As the earth qi changes on Blue Sea Star and wolf veins proliferate, more and more entrances to the New Dust Realm have appeared.”

“The entrances managed by the Great Flame and our Yanluo are under control, with limited entry.

However, unmonitored or small country entrances allow many to enter.”

“True.” Wei Zong nodded.

Few factions held Vein Extraction Barriers, certainly at least Yanluo and Black Snow’s level.

But the New Dust Realm was full of treasures, highly attractive to various factions and lone Star Card Masters.

Hence, this wolf vein’s birthplace attracted many covetous eyes.

Including members from Xunyang, the Western Desert, and other factions.

Even without pulse drawing beads or similar artifacts, they lingered to seize the wolf vein later.

Wei Zong said, “Though the Great Flame Sky Patrol first discovered this wolf vein, it’s too precious to just give away.

Let’s see how they handle these people. If they can manage, we’ll let them have it.

If not… we’ll reassess.”

“Understood!” Yan Jin and the others agreed.

Yanluo and Great Flame were neighboring allies, not strategic partners.

When interests conflicted, each would resort to their own means!

This was just one wolf vein in the New Dust Realm, but there would be more wolf veins, tiger veins, and even… dragon veins on Blue Sea Star?

The millennia-old status quo on the East Continent might very well change!
