Chapter 612
by Moonlit_Scholar_CYun Xuan stepped forward and saluted the Transcendent Realm expert： “Uncle Sun, sorry to have kept you waiting for so long.”
Sun Ying shook his head with a smile： “I just arrived not long ago. How have you been during this period, Miss Yun？”
“Everything is fine. Thank you for your concern, Uncle Sun.”
“En.” Sun Ying nodded slightly and said softly： “If you have time, go and visit your father more. He…”
“Uncle Sun！” Yun Xuan frowned, somewhat reluctant to let him continue.
“Alright, alright, I won’t say anymore.” Sun Ying had a helpless look on his face.
Yang Kai was observing the situation from the side, quickly realizing some problems, but he remained silent and just watched from the sidelines.
Yun Xuan nodded again towards the petite woman： “Sister Ruan, I hope you’ve been well.”
Ruan Xinyu snorted coldly and said unhappily： “If you could have come earlier, I would have been better. I’ve been waiting for you here for several days. If it weren’t for the alliance insisting on letting you gain some merit, my team would have already solved the trouble here.”
Yun Xuan smiled slightly： “Sister Ruan is joking. Since the alliance has arranged it like this, it must be because we are indispensable.”
Ruan Xinyu’s pretty face turned cold. Just as she was about to retort, Sun Ying clapped his hands and said, “Alright, both of you stop talking. You two girls start arguing as soon as you meet. You are both disciples of the alliance. What deep hatred is there that can’t be resolved？”
Facing Sun Ying’s mediation, Ruan Xinyu still had an extremely cold expression, and Yun Xuan also had a fake smile on her face, which made this Transcendent Realm expert feel very headache.
“Huh…” Suddenly, Sun Ying stared at Yang Kai, with a suspicious look on his face： “Miss Yun, why is there an extra person in your team? Is he a disciple of the alliance?”
As he spoke, he looked Yang Kai up and down, and his spiritual sense swept over Yang Kai’s body. After detecting his cultivation level, Sun Ying nodded slightly, thinking that his strength was not too bad. However, Yang Kai didn’t wear the mark of a disciple of the Proud Solitary Alliance, which made him a little puzzled.
“He is not a disciple of the alliance.” Yun Xuan shook her head.
This time, even Ruan Xinyu and Zhou Luo were astonished.
When the disciples of the Proud Solitary Alliance were on a mission, they would never bring in irrelevant people. Yun Xuan’s actions obviously made them a little perplexing.
“He wants to join our Proud Solitary Alliance. This time I brought him here mainly to see how he performs.” Yun Xuan smiled and explained, secretly giving Yang Kai a wink.
Yang Kai understood and remained silent.
“That’s it.” Sun Ying relieved, “This is a good thing. Then let this old man see what his potential is like this time. But if he passes the test, which team should he be assigned to？ Your team is already full, Yun Xuan.”
“If you don’t mind, how about coming to my team？” Zhou Luo issued an invitation.
Yang Kai frowned. Just when he didn’t know how to answer, Yun Xuan said, “It’s not even certain yet. Maybe he doesn’t meet the requirements of the alliance. Let’s talk about it after this mission is completed.”
“That’s fine.” Zhou Luo nodded with a smile. “Brother, work hard! I believe Yun Xuan’s vision won’t be too bad. Don’t disgrace her this time.”
That Ruan Xinyu also looked Yang Kai up and down and sneered contemptuously： “A greenhorn！”
Yang Kai had been silent all the time, which made her think that this teenager was a bit silly. Coupled with the grudge between her and Yun Xuan, she naturally didn’t like Yang Kai either.
“Xinyu, you came earlier and the situation here was also inquired about by your team. Tell everyone.” Although Sun Ying had already probed the situation over there with his spiritual sense, he didn’t want to waste words either, so he asked Ruan Xinyu to explain.
When it came to business, Ruan Xinyu’s expression turned stern, and she said, “The situation here is basically the same as the intelligence we obtained before. Those suddenly appeared monsters here are all Gold Devouring Beasts. They mainly eat some minerals. And the Sun Tin Mine of our Proud Alone League is the source that attracted them here. There are quite a number of them, at least forty or fifty. Most of them are of the sixth rank, and there are also some of the fifth rank. There is no trace of the seventh rank.”
“Gold Devouring Beasts？” Hearing this, Yun Xuan’s beautiful eyes lit up.
“That’s right. They are Gold Devouring Beasts. You should all have heard of this kind of monster and know where its value lies.”
Zhou Luo immediately became excited: “Of course we know. This is great. If we can catch all these forty or fifty Gold Devouring Beasts, then we don’t need to worry about the matter of the alchemist anymore. As long as we have these monsters the Sun Tin Mine can be refined casually, which is also a great contribution to the league.”
Sun Ying smiled slightly: “The strength of the members of each of your three teams is not weak. Dealing with sixth-rank monsters should not be a problem: as long as you are not besieged by them. Well, our goal is to catch these monsters alive not to kill them. This point you must keep in mind. The death of any one of them is a loss for us. Understand?
Everyone nodded in unison, looking full of energy, as if those Gold Devouring Beasts had great value to them.
Yang Kai had a look of confusion on his face.
“Yunxuan, Zhouluo, Xinyu, each of you bring half of the team members out and follow me to arrange the restriction to prevent those gold-devouring beasts from escaping. It’s almost getting dark now, and the others can rest in place. We’ll act tomorrow after we finish arranging the restriction.” Sun Ying directed.
A moment later, half of the people in the Duao League went out with Sun Ying, presumably to arrange nearby.
Yang Kai sat down cross-legged to restore his spirit.
The man with a bushy beard walked over with a sullen face and sat opposite Yang Kai, looking a bit bored.
Yunxuan didn’t take him with her, which made him not very happy.
Brother Ji, what kind of beast is the gold-devouring beast exactly? Why are you so excited when you hear its name? Yang Kai hesitated for a while and asked the doubt in his heart.
On the way here, he originally thought that this group of people came to kill the beast and obtain the inner alchemy of the beast and the materials on their bodies. But after arriving here, the task suddenly became to capture, which made Yang Kai understand that the living gold-devouring beast is more valuable than the dead one.
Hearing Yang Kai’s question, Ji Hong opened his mouth wide and looked at him in astonishment： “You haven’t heard of the gold-devouring beast？”
Yang Kai shook his head.
“Which corner did you come out of？” Ji Hong looked speechless and looked at Yang Kai like a bumpkin.
“Hehe.” Yang Kai was also a little embarrassed.
“I’m really convinced of you.” Ji Hong kept shaking his head and patiently explained： “The Gold Devouring Beast, just by hearing its name, you should be able to think of something. This kind of monster beast doesn’t eat flesh and blood, but only minerals. Their physical constitution and structure are very special. After eating minerals, they will refine the minerals in their bodies and then excrete the refined minerals.”
“Isn’t that just feces？” Yang Kai’s face turned dark.
“It can be said like this, but their feces are of great use to us. The minerals refined by their bodies are more pure than those refined by many weapon refiners. With this explanation, you should understand why we want to capture them alive instead of killing them, right?
“Understood.” Yang Kai nodded. “You want to bring them back to the alliance and use them to refine minerals and materials.”
“That’s right. With this batch of Gold Devouring Beasts, the alliance can save a large number of manpower, and those weapon refiners can also spare time to be busy with other things.” As he said this, Ji Hong’s face was filled with excited light： “Forty or fifty Gold Devouring Beasts, the number is quite a lot. The more our team catches, the better the rewards we will get. Maybe this time we can turn things around in one fell swoop and become a small team leader, on an equal footing with Yun Xuan, hehe.”
Ji Hong’s face was oily and shiny, looking full of energy and enthusiasm.
“Yun Xuan, what’s the situation?” Yang Kai suddenly asked. He had observed a lot of things these days and felt vaguely that this woman Yun Xuan had an unusual identity. But she had always claimed to be an ordinary disciple of the Du Ao League, which made Yang Kai a little confused.
Ji Hong’s expression suddenly became solemn. After hesitating for a while, he said, “I’m not convenient to talk about the captain’s matter. If you want to know, ask by yourself. But I guess she won’t tell you either.”
Yang Kai nodded slightly and didn’t say more.
In the middle of the night, Sun Ying and the others came back, and the restriction had been completely set up. They just had to wait until dawn to take action.
In the second half of the night, everyone was meditating and resting, adjusting their own state, looking forward to tomorrow’s performance.
A wisp of delicate fragrance came and lingered around the tip of the nose. Yang Kai opened his eyes. The sky was about to dawn, and it was the darkest time before dawn. Yun Xuan, dressed as a young married woman, stood in front of him with outstanding charm.
“Is there something？” Yang Kai tilted his head.
“We’re about to take action soon. You be careful later and follow behind me. Just listen to my command and don’t make any mistakes. If you die, I won’t be able to explain to Miss Shui.”
“I see.”
“Well, what I said during the day that you want to join the Du Ao League was just a casual mention. Whether you really want to join or not depends on your own intention.” Yun Xuan brushed the hair beside her ear, revealing her delicate earlobe, as understanding as a ripe peach.
Looking at the white dawn in the distance, Yun Xuan suddenly asked again, “How old are you this year？”
“Twenty,” Yang Kai smiled.
“Twenty, the seventh level of the Divine Movement Realm. Hehe, time flies so fast.” Yun Xuan’s beautiful eyes suddenly became blurred. She stared blankly at Yang Kai, as if lost in memories. After a long while, she pursed her lips and smiled. “It’s a very beautiful age. Don’t die. If you die, you won’t be able to see anything.”
Yang Kai’s expression changed. He always felt that there was something in the young woman’s words. Just as he was about to ask Sun Ying’s shout came from the other side: “Get ready to move.”
Everyone opened their eyes, and their eyes shone with brilliance.
Yun Xuan’s expression became solemn, and she quickly summoned her team members.
A moment later, everyone was ready to go. Under the leadership of Sun Ying, they walked towards that Rixi Mineral Vein.
In the mountain belly, there was a dark cave entrance. This was the mineral vein that the Du Ao Alliance owned in the Thousand Leaves Forest. Yang Kai sensed the surroundings. In the dark, he perceived some energy auras around. They should be the restrictions that these people of the Du Ao Alliance set up last night.
The huge divine sense quietly and mysteriously sneak into the mine cave in the mountain belly. Soon some auras of demonic beasts were transmitted over. Indeed, as the information obtained before most of them were sixth-order demonic beasts.
“Activate！” Sun Ying shouted in a deep voice. Streams of pure true essence continuously burst out from his hands and scattered in all directions, disappearing into the void.
