“Is it here?”
“It should be near.”
“So, order the police and start searching around, remember to keep talking.”
A tense and deep cluster of voices could be heard in the forest of the natural cemetery from time to time. A team of martial artists wearing martial uniforms with the ‘heaven’ character embroidered on them and carrying XM 1014 automatic shotguns manufactured by the United States before the founding of the Federation was walking through the forest.
This kind of firearm could be loaded with seven bullets and had very strong firepower at close-range. Its rate of fire was also very fast; it could blow a majority of mutant creatures into slags in the blink of an eye.
Lu Dongbin stood at the center of a red date-like field, spreading his martial sense as far as possible around him to find out the potential danger. According to the last video footage transmitted by the last Elysium explorer, besides the possibility of new energy and new metal, there was something else here as well: an extremely fast and dangerous mutant creature.
Elysium’s team was divided into three squads. Every squad’s search area was overseen by a heavenly immortal so that he could save people if anything happened.
From time to time, Lu Dongbin would take a look at He Xiangu’s position. She was the weakest of the eight immortals and the only female. Her beauty enjoyed the care of the other seven immortals. Besides the attraction of Elysium itself, Lu Dongbin’s better part of the reason for joining Elysium was He Xiangu’s existence.
Today, He Xiangu was wearing a camouflage military uniform, devoid of any bright and glaring colors. Although strong martial artists didn’t need to care too much about the mutant creatures in this natural cemetery that was full of dangers, they had to be vigilant against other humans; they were far more terrifying than the mutant creatures of the natural cemetery. As such, bright colors would only become the most dangerous colors.
Weak people could also kill martial arts experts, even experts of martial dao master level or higher level! The eight immortals would never forget that Lan Caihe died in the hands of a sniper who had not even achieved True Inborn Blood Transfusion Rebirth.
Lu Dongbing would never forget how big of a blow he had received when he discovered that the thing which killed the god was actually anti-sniping equipment.
“Fortunately, that sniper was found and killed. Fortunately, that weird weapon also fell in Elysium’s hands.” Lu Dongbin said to himself. His eyes never left He Xiangu. Even the loose camouflage uniform could not hide her shapely body. The green camouflage uniform made her slender legs even more slender instead. And coupled with the jungle behind her, she was exuding a unique feminine charm.
He Xiangu, sensing that someone’s gaze was locked on to her, turned her head and looked at Lu Dongbin with a smile, waving her fist as if she would fight with him.
For a moment, several Elysium martial artists beside He Xiangu were dumbfounded. They even forgot that they were in the natural cemetery where they could lose their lives.
He Xiangu was very beautiful. She had a kind of elegant temperament. Her tall body wearing the masculine camouflage uniform brought out her hidden charm.
Lu Dongbin smiled and turned his attention to other directions. He Xiangu has already agreed that as long as I avenged her brother Li Xianglong and killed Qin Fen, she will marry me. Once this mission is over, I will request a leave from Elysium, kill Qin Fen, and marry He Xiangu.
“Found it!”
An exclamation mixed with excitement sounded from Han Zhongli’s side, drawing everyone’s attentive gaze at once. A middle-aged man with gloves raised a rock with a faint blue glow up high. The shimmering stone resembled a sapphire, only it was radiating a faint glow.
Lu Dongbin narrowed his eyes, scanning the surrounding, trying to find if there was anything suspicious. Last time, the Elysium member was attacked after finding new energy and the new metal. God knows if there are any mutated creatures here, guarding the new energy…
“Woowoo… woowoo…”
Lu Dongbin found that the man inside the big iron box beside him was suddenly restless, giving our dog-like wails non-stop. The entire iron box was shaking slightly as if there was something restlessly moving in it.
“Danger…”
Lu Dongbin looked about nervously. Although the helper in the iron box lacked its past intellect, its beast-like instincts are straight-on. Judging by his restlessness, he must have found something.
“I found it too…”
A dark red new metal was raised high by a middle-aged man beside He Xiangu.
Almost at the same time, all the people began to converge on Lu Dongbin’s position. This was decided at the beginning; everyone should converge immediately after finding anything to prevent getting ambush by unknown mutant creatures. At the same time, they would hand it over to Lu Dongbin as soon as possible. The strongest of the eight immortals would then bring the things safely back to Elysium at the fastest speed.
“Your excellency, since you are here, why are you still hiding?” Lu Dongbin’s eyes glowed as brightly as a light bulb as a sliver of dark red energy rushed to his face. He stared in Du Peng and Qin Fen’s direction with a calm and dissatisfied gaze. “Elysium is working here, we don’t want to be disturbed.”
