Chapter 95

A red light streaked through the air.

An extreme cold enveloped the space, as if everything was frozen.

A massive beast emitting wild electrical currents let out a deafening roar, a mournful and piercing cry.

At this moment,

"Boom!" Lin Feng's blade attacked like a giant shark devouring its prey.

The timing was perfect; the moment the beast exposed a weakness, Lin Feng seized it. The spiritual energy infused in his blade was astonishing, and with one strike, a surging wave of power erupted. The massive beast, standing fourteen meters tall, unwillingly crashed to the ground, causing chaos among the entire herd.

"Great!" Behind them, Guangzi laughed heartily, and Lin Feng leaped up instantly.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Bursts of light, like a chain of cannon fire, erupted. Guangzi's electromagnetic cannon unleashed its full power.

The bombardment was almost like a sweeping attack, and the herd of beasts was immediately hit hard. Lin Feng did not pause for a moment, heading straight for the right side where Yuemeng was. After defeating the Elite Mad Electric Porcupine King, Lin Feng's position in the team had changed. Besides his fixed close-combat cleaning tasks, he had taken on a new role:

Ace sniper.

His coordination with Ice Rose even surpassed that of the team leader, Shi Shi.

Because Lin Feng's attack was extremely powerful.

"Feels easy, doesn't it?" Guangzi combed his slicked-back hair, looking relaxed.

"The strongest were just two intermediate-level Beast Kings, and Lin Feng and Ice Sister took them down in a few moves. How could it not be easy?" Yuemeng smiled, and in fact, she felt much more relaxed. Both she and Lin Feng were offensive types, and when they fought together, they couldn't bring out their full strength. But it was different with the team leader, Shi Shi.

One offense, one defense, complementing each other perfectly.

"Isn't it better to be relaxed?" Shi Shi smiled.

Lin Feng's growth had greatly relieved his pressure. Although Shi Shi was an intermediate-level Battle Venerable, he was only a seven-star adventurer. His lack of offensive power meant he couldn't kill intermediate-level Beast Kings in one-on-one battles, a flaw that had always been hidden.

Because of Ice Rose's super-strong support.

Now he could finally breathe a sigh of relief and return to the position that suited him best.

"Lin Feng, why are you spacing out?" Yuemeng asked.

"I have a question." Lin Feng looked at the battlefield strewn with corpses, his brows slightly furrowed. "Yue Sister, don't you think... the elemental beasts we encountered today have a certain characteristic?"

Characteristic?

Yuemeng was taken aback.

"It's the cadmium crystal cores." Ice Rose stepped forward, her eyes sparkling.

"Including this batch, we have already collected hundreds of cadmium crystal cores." Shi Shi also approached. "Adding the 'cadmium crystal heart' we obtained yesterday, the number of cadmium elements we've collected is quite unusual."

Lin Feng nodded.

What the team leader said was exactly what he wanted to say.

Normally, the crystal cores of elemental beasts killed each day are scattered. From E to D level, all categories are basically seen. But today, over 20% of the crystal cores obtained were 'cadmium crystal cores,' a proportion that was quite exaggerated.

This was not the wilderness area but the desolate region.

Combined with the appearance of the Elite Mad Electric Porcupine King yesterday, it was hard not to speculate.

"Cadmium crystal mine?" Yuemeng's voice carried a hint of surprise and doubt.

"Thinking too much." At this moment, Flea had completed the material collection and walked over. "Although the Qinling Mountains are not as devoid of secrets as the Ruins World, the outer regions have been explored at least a hundred times. How could there be a cadmium crystal mine?"

"But... how do you explain these cadmium crystal cores?" Xia Ling asked curiously.

"Coincidence, I guess." Flea frowned.

"Flea is right," Shi Shi nodded. "Cadmium crystal mines are rare in the Qinling Mountains, and the probability of an undiscovered crystal mine appearing in the outer regions is less than one in a thousand."

"I think... we can try." Lin Feng's gaze swept over everyone. Compared to when he first entered the desolate region, he was much more mature. "If rare earth elements can appear in the Ruins World, why can't a cadmium crystal mine appear in the outer regions of the Qinling Mountains?"

The Ruins World may seem dangerous, but that is only relative to ordinary Battle Venerables.

Battle Venerables who enter the desolate region know that there is nothing valuable to gain in the Ruins World, so the appearance of rare earth elements in the 02 Ruins World caused a great stir.

Lin Feng's words sparked a heated discussion among the team.

To search for a cadmium crystal mine, they would need to venture deeper toward Mount Hua, increasing the danger.

Flea's opposition was understandable.

Five minutes later.

"Let's vote." Shi Shi hesitated for a moment and then said, "Raise your hand if you support Lin Feng."

"Absolutely!" Guangzi combed his slicked-back hair and raised his hand with a big laugh.

Almost simultaneously, Ice Rose and Yuemeng also raised their hands.

Flea's face turned pale.

"It seems my vote won't change the result." Shi Shi laughed heartily, his gaze falling on Flea. "Flea, I think we don't need to rush, but there's no point in being too conservative. We haven't truly encountered any insurmountable danger since entering the desolate region. Let's try it."

"Challenges and adventures are what make us adventurers."

Shi Shi patted Flea's shoulder. "Besides, we have an excellent hunter like you."

Flea, though displeased, nodded. "Understood, Captain."

Strength equals speaking power.

Lin Feng's status in the adventure team had changed significantly.

One could say he was only below Shi Shi and Ice Rose, with more speaking power than Flea and Guangzi. This was earned through his strength and achievements. Most importantly, because of Lin Feng's improved strength, the Ice Lion Adventure Team had more confidence in delving deeper into the Qinling Mountains.

The Ice Lion Adventure Team, ranked eighth in Sunset City, was not a team that had gained its reputation in vain.

Captain Ice Lion was very experienced.

※※※

Deep in the Qinling Mountains.

"Captain, we have confirmed the position of the Ice Lion Adventure Team." Shi Wulong bowed his head and said.

"Oh, really." Yi Renjie gathered laser energy in his hands, casually manipulating and combining it. "Exact position?"

"Yes, exact position." Shi Wulong's gaze was sharp.

Snap! The laser energy dissipated, and a playful smile appeared on Yi Renjie's lips. "The Ice Lion Adventure Team is really stupid, taking on anyone." He twisted his neck and his gaze fell forward. "It's about time we head back. On the way back..."

"I'll help you out."

"Thank you, Captain!" Shi Wulong said joyfully, clenching his fists.

Yi Renjie hummed. To become his right-hand man, Shi Wulong was no ordinary talent.

The competition on Dragon Slayer Island was intense, with the First and Third Battalions... He needed some reliable and capable subordinates, and Shi Wulong was one of them.

To attract talent, one must genuinely invest.

This was what his father taught him.

"Master Jie, found it, found it!" A voice of excitement came from a distance, and Yi Renjie's eyes sparkled as he looked over.

It was his other right-hand man, the marksman 'Ziyu'.

Swish! Ziyu appeared, his expression excited. "It's a D-level sodium crystal mine, Master Jie. We have already discovered thousands of sodium crystals, with the highest quality being D3. From the surface exposure, this is only about 5% of the total. There is a more than 30% chance of finding a sodium heart in the deeper parts of the mine."

"Tell me the total estimated value!" Yi Renjie's eyes lit up.

"Five to ten million gold coins!" Ziyu beamed. "With this income, we can reach fifty million gold coins."

"Excellent!" Yi Renjie laughed heartily. "A large sodium crystal mine, though not a high-level one, it's enough. This time, I must win over the First and Third Battalions!"

"Let's go and take a look!"

"Ha ha!"
