How did the exotic beasts replenish their energy?
Without a doubt, it was by swallowing meteorites, of course!
In other words, as long as they could find a place where a large number of exotic beasts gathered, there would most likely be meteorites there, and the scale would definitely not be small.
After thinking this through, Aaron and Tina's eyes immediately lit up, and they immediately looked at Lin Lichuan.
Lin Lichuan only pondered for a few seconds before nodding.
Since they didn't have a specific direction, they might as well search along this path. Perhaps they might be able to find some clues.
After making their decision, the three of them didn't waste any time, continuing to search the surroundings.
However, when they focused on searching for exotic beasts, they fell into a state where they couldn't find anything. After searching for a few kilometers, they actually didn't encounter a single exotic beast.
With no other choice, Lin Lichuan could only change the way they searched. He had Aaron and Tina follow from below, while he used Transient Step to charge into the air, donning Sky Treading and circling high up in the sky to search.
With this change, the efficiency of their search indeed increased by quite a bit. Soon, they discovered traces of exotic beasts in the north.
Lin Lichuan gestured downwards and shot out like an arrow, flying towards the target in the distance. On the ground, Aaron and Tina similarly quickened their pace.
While they were running, Tina suddenly said, "Brother, that cloak Mr. White is wearing seems a little unusual. Could it be that it's the reason why Mr. White can fly in the air?"
Aaron replied casually, "Didn't Wero say that Mr. White has mastered the ability to fly?"
Only then did Tina remember that Wero had reported to them that False White had displayed the ability to float in the air when he killed Wagner. Realization dawned on her, and she continued after some thought, "But Mr. White seems to have mastered quite a few abilities. I've never seen anyone with so many abilities at the same time."
"Not only that, his swordsmanship is also extraordinary."
Aaron looked at the figure flying in the sky in the distance, a hint of surprise flashing across his eyes. "There are always some extremely talented geniuses in this world. Perhaps Mr. White is one of them."
Tina nodded lightly and agreed with him.
Xu Bai looked to be in his twenties, probably not even twenty-five years old. At such a young age, he was already half a step into the knight rank. With such talent, it was almost certain that he would become a knight before the age of thirty.
Knights below 30 years old could be regarded as peerless geniuses in any country on the continent.
They could only look up to such a figure.
While thinking, the two of them suddenly saw the figure in the sky in the distance suddenly change direction. Their eyes moved, and they hurriedly increased their speed. Not long after, they arrived at the place where Lin Lichuan had landed.
When they saw the situation before them, the two of them couldn't help but be stunned.
What entered his eyes was a dense pack of over twenty exotic beasts, as well as cherry blossoms that filled the sky.
As the flower petals danced in the air, flowers of blood burst out from the bodies of the exotic beasts from time to time. They let out shrill and ear-piercing howls as they staggered and fell to the ground.
"So that's how it is. So this is what Wero meant when he said that the blade had turned into a flower petal," Alan murmured, his eyes flashing with amazement.
Tina, on the other hand, had an intoxicated expression as she murmured softly, "So beautiful."
She had never been interested in sparkling jewels or beautiful flowers that ordinary girls liked. However, the scene of cherry blossoms and blood dancing in the sky made her feel a kind of demonic beauty. The blood-stained flower petals that filled the sky were beautiful and moving, bewitching and intoxicating. They could not help but feel dazzled.
Bang!
The last exotic beast fell slowly, and the sound of it falling to the ground woke the two of them up.
In the instant that they were stunned, the battle, or rather, the one-sided massacre had already ended.
Lin Lichuan deactivated the Shikai of Senbonzakura and descended from the sky. He began to cut open the corpse and collect the meteorite crystals.
Seeing this, Alan and Tina hurriedly went up to help.
After a while, there were over twenty meteorite crystals of different sizes in front of the three of them. Although the quality was still low, it was obviously much better than the dozen meteorite crystals that they had obtained before, whether it was in terms of size or color.
"Looks like we've found the right direction," Lin Lichuan raised his eyebrows and said.
A hint of joy appeared on Alan and Tina's faces as well.
Since Lin Lichuan was the one who took care of the beast horde by himself, Alan and Tina insisted that all the meteorite crystals belonged to him. Lin Lichuan did not stand on ceremony. After flying back into the sky, he secretly absorbed and converted all the meteorite crystals.
After a while, his total number of crystals had skyrocketed to 1,056.
"I've finally gathered 1,000 crystals," Lin Lichuan let out a sigh of relief in joy. However, he hesitated for a moment and decided not to level up his VIP level immediately.
There were still many unknown threats in the ruin. Adding on the fact that he had no idea where the Vajra Association was, it could be said to be extremely dangerous. Moreover, he only had one Interpretation Card for Hyorinmaru. He had too few trump cards after all.
Just in case, he had to reserve enough crystals to draw cards or exchange them for recovery medicine at the shop during crucial moments.
"Two more days won't make a difference. It won't be too late to level up after leaving the ruin."
Thinking quickly, Lin Lichuan quickly made up his mind and focused on searching for exotic beasts.
In the next few hours, he found three more waves of exotic beasts. The exotic beasts were getting stronger and stronger, and there was even a gold-tier exotic beast in the last wave. The three of them worked together and expended a lot of effort before they managed to take care of the beast horde led by that gold-tier exotic beast.
At the same time, the quality of the meteorite crystals they obtained from the exotic beasts' corpses increased as well. That gold-tier exotic beast's meteorite crystal even earned Lin Lichuan thirty-eight crystals.
The three of them were invigorated by this discovery.
Obviously, they were getting closer and closer to their destination.
Not long after that, they discovered traces of other people's activities.
In an empty space surrounded by broken walls, Alan was squatting in front of a pile of ashes. After inspecting it carefully for a moment, he stood up and looked at Lin Lichuan, saying in a deep voice, "Judging from the size of the bonfire, it's a group of at least ten people. Moreover, they should have left not long ago, less than half a day ago."
Tina furrowed her brow slightly when she heard that, "Then it should be the Vajra Association. Only their key cube can allow so many people to enter at once. Moreover, they entered earlier than us. They should have spent the night here."
"In that case, we're about to catch up to them," Lin Lichuan's eyes flickered slightly.
Alan nodded, his brow furrowed. Since the Vajra Association had appeared here, it meant that they had most likely discovered the anomaly of the meteorite crystals in the exotic beasts' corpses. This was undoubtedly the worst case scenario.
If the Vajra Association obtained the treasure in the ruin first, it would be almost impossible to snatch it back from them.
Lin Lichuan was very calm, however. He patted Alan's shoulder and said, "Let's go. We'll know once we follow them."
"Alright!"
Alan nodded heavily after calming himself down.
The three of them walked out of the broken wall. Lin Lichuan was about to fly up into the sky when his gaze suddenly focused. He stared into the distance without blinking.
"What's wrong?"
Noticing his action, Tina turned her head and followed his line of sight into the distance. She immediately exclaimed in surprise, revealing a surprised and doubtful expression.
In the sky far away, a black dot was slowly circling. It looked like some kind of flying creature.
"I'll go take a look."
After saying that, Lin Lichuan took to the sky without hesitation, flying towards the black dot at high speed.
A strong wind whistled past his ears.
When he got closer, he realized that the black dot was actually an unusually large condor. It was more than five meters long when it spread its wings, and its senses were extremely sharp. The condor had discovered him when he was only half a kilometer away from it. It flapped its wings and flew away without hesitation. Its speed was unusually fast, covering hundreds of meters in the blink of an eye.
Lin Lichuan estimated his speed and deduced that he would never be able to catch up to the condor no matter what. He gave up on chasing after it and stopped. He watched the condor gradually disappear into the horizon with a frown.
A moment later, he returned to Alan and Tina's side. Both of them quickly went up to him and asked.
"Mr. White, what's that black dot?"
"It's a condor, a very large one."
"A condor?" Alan frowned. "I remember that the King Kong Society seems to have tamed a huge condor."
"Then it's the King Kong Society's."
Lin Lichuan said calmly. It was impossible for creatures other than exotic beasts to live in the ruin. The condor could only be related to an outsider. Meanwhile, there were only them, Lin Zhenyi, and the King Kong Society in the ruin. It was obvious who was controlling the condor.
"The King Kong Society should have discovered us by now. What should we do? Should we take a detour?" Tina asked.
Lin Lichuan shook his head and said, "With that condor around, we won't be able to hide from them. Why don't we just continue moving forward like this?"
The siblings only hesitated for a moment when they heard that. Then, they nodded hard.
They believed in the False White. Since he said so, he must have something to rely on.
.....
A loud whistle came from the sky all of a sudden.
Garett lifted his head and saw a huge condor swooping down from the sky. It landed steadily next to Nissen and rubbed its head against its master a few times while letting out low cries that they did not know what was going on.
Nissen patted the condor's head gently and communicated with it softly for a while. Then, he looked at his companions who were sitting cross-legged on the ground and said in a deep voice, "Someone's coming this way."
"Who?" Someone asked immediately. "Black Prisoner?"
"I'm not sure. There's a total of three of them."
"That should be Black Prisoner. The key cube in the youth group's hand seems to only allow three people to enter the ruin."
"Should we kill them?"
Everyone's eyes fell on Garett.
The latter immediately looked like he was in deep thought.
The monsters' alert range was right in front of them. To prevent them from being noticed by the terrifying monsters due to the large number of people, the president Mo Luo had asked them to stay where they were while he went after Lin Zhenyi alone. Since the president was not around, he naturally took over the leadership as the vice president.
Without thinking for too long, a cold glint appeared in his eyes all of a sudden. "Kill them. Don't let them disturb the president!"
"Yes!"
Everyone responded in unison with a ferocious smile on their faces at the same time.
All of a sudden, killing intent spread in all directions.
