Chapter 287: Chapter 170: Floating Land’s Spiritual Root [God Tempering Fruit Tree]

Whirr!

Just beneath a hill no more than a few dozen meters high, ripples suddenly emanated from the void as if a stone had been thrown into a tranquil lake, shattering the peace at the foot of the hill.

Four figures stepped out from the void, revealing their full silhouettes. The surface of their pitch-black skin occasionally flickered with subtle, special energy fluctuations. Under this energy disturbance, the surrounding void seemed to resonate as if they could merge into the void at the fastest speed whenever they wished.

At the forefront, the Soldier Figurine of the Void Assassin Clan, under the remote control of Song Chi’s brainwaves, reached its hand toward the position where the two third-tier Soul Spirit Clan members had previously appeared.

Upon seeing the Soldier Figurine’s hand disappear completely, leaving only a part of the arm exposed, Song Chi’s gaze fixed; he could ascertain that the special barrier in front of him was indeed a Spatial Veil.

Its function was completely identical to that of a spatial barrier, also meant to seal off the spaces inside and outside.

Having clarified this point and very aware that he was remotely controlling a Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurine, Song Chi did not hesitate and directly made the Figurine step into the Spatial Veil in front of him.

Even if immense danger lurked on the other side of the veil, at worst, the Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurine would be destroyed.

After a brief spatial transition, what unfolded in their view was a spacious cave space, burrowed into the ground. The cave was vast, big enough to easily accommodate a full-bodied, kilometer-long, third-tier life form, according to Song Chi’s estimation.

Beyond that, the rock walls around the cave had been deliberately embedded with glowing white fluorescing stones that shone brilliantly. With these stones’ illumination, no matter how vast the cave was, it was lit up as if it was daytime outside, allowing one to see the entirety of the space at a glance.

However, it was precisely because of this that Song Chi, following the viewpoint of the Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurine, was suddenly shaken.

At the temporary base’s underground warship Summoning Room, Song Chi dashed out of the Cang Qiong as quickly as possible and then continued sprinting toward the cave above. Behind him, Cang Qiong, now shrinking to mini size, trailed after him, and the moment Song Chi burst out of the underground passageway, it entered his Ancestral Torch.

At the mountain base, in front of Grandfather Song Mingsong’s personal cave, the stone door was swiftly opened.

When Song Mingsong saw that it was Song Chi outside the door, his eyes showed surprise, and then, remembering that his grandson would not come without urgent cause, his expression became solemn as he said:

“Little Chi, what’s…”

Song Chi interrupted Song Mingsong before he could finish.

“Grandpa, it’s extremely urgent; I’ll explain on the way, but we must go now!”

Above the southern side of the Melting Soul Mountain Range, the Furious Lion Cruiser, loaded with the blue component described as the “Void Membrane,” ignited its engines and sped straight ahead.

At this considerable speed, the Furious Lion quickly left the battle line currently controlled by the Song family and plunged into the area controlled by the Soul Spirit Clan.

However, thanks to the special component, “Void Membrane,” which had been enhanced to lv39, and the fact that the Furious Lion had not initiated any attacks along the way, the Soul Spirit Clan had not yet detected its presence.

In the main control room of the Furious Lion, Song Mingsong suddenly turned his head, staring intently at Song Chi.

“Little Chi, are you sure you didn’t see it wrong? Is it really a God Tempering Fruit Tree?”

Song Chi nodded gravely.

“I’m certain, Grandpa. I’ve seen it with my own brainwaves. We need to hurry; there are quite a few Soul Spirit Clansmen in that underground cave, including two third-tier ones. My Figurines can’t hold out much longer!!!”

By Song Mingsong’s side, Song Chi’s face paled, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

He was not mistaken in his estimation; indeed, there was great danger in that underground cave space. Aside from the two third-tier Soul Spirit Clan members who had already left, there were surprisingly twenty fully armed Soul Spirit Clan guards stationed inside.

What was worse, among these twenty Soul Spirit Clan guards were two third-tier members.

Facing such an array, four third-tier Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines could actually put up a fight, provided they could maximize their ambush and hunting abilities. To be blunt, killing those two third-tier Soul Spirit Clansmen wasn’t difficult.

But the key point was that they couldn’t go on a reckless killing spree at the moment; instead, they had to guard the entrance to the cave space behind them to prevent these Soul Spirit Clansmen from rushing out and attracting more of their kind.

Roar!

Two gargantuan black serpents, nearly a kilometer in length, surged forward like dragons, with an unstoppable force as if to crush anything that stood in their way.

In the face of these Blackwater Xuan Snakes, the Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines, standing only one and a half meters tall, seemed like insignificant ants, utterly inconsequential.

At the entrance of the cave, sensing the overwhelming momentum billowing from below, to be honest, the first thought that flashed through Song Chi’s mind was that they were an invincible force.

There was no helping it; the size difference between the two sides was just too vast.

In front of the fully grown Blackwater Xuan Snakes, the one-and-a-half-meter-tall Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines could even be described as fragile.

Nonetheless, despite this, he still had no intention of hiding in the void to dodge; it was easy to step aside, but should the two third-tier Blackwater Xuan Snakes break through the Spatial Veil, the commotion they could cause would probably alarm the entire surrounding area for hundreds of miles.

They must not be allowed to leave; at the very least, enough time must be bought for Grandpa’s arrival.

On the leading Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurine, Song Chi’s Brainwave Beacon issued a crystal-clear instruction.
