"Boss Leng, the goods have been seized, but the people haven't been arrested.""Director Huang, what's going on? Didn't we agree to seize both the people and the goods?""That guy surnamed Zhu hired a group of mercenaries, all Spiritual Energy Users. I was worried my people would clash with them and cause a big scene, which would look bad, so I ordered them not to arrest anyone for now.""But don't worry, I don't believe Zhu Runfu can afford to keep paying mercenaries forever. As soon as they leave, I'll immediately have Zhu Runfu arrested. You know, because of that accident, the situation on Silver Gray Star is unstable right now, and monitoring is quite strict, so we have to be a bit careful with how we do things.""Alright then, that's fine. Thank you, Director Huang, for cracking down on such unscrupulous businesses. I believe after this, the entire medicinal materials market will become much more regulated.""Haha, Boss Leng, you're too kind. I'll have someone deliver the goods to you shortly.""Thank you. In a few days, I'll be hosting a banquet at the Chaoyang Hotel. Please do me the honor of attending, Director Huang~""No problem. See you there."After the call ended, the smile on Leng Yuanshan's face vanished instantly."Useless trash. In your own territory, you were scared off by a few mercenaries. No wonder you've been stuck in that position for decades."Compared to that batch of goods, Zhu Runfu himself was what he valued most.He wanted to find out from Zhu Runfu how these elixirs and spirit fruits from Elf Star were obtained.If he could control this supply channel, then Yuanshan Group would surely soar, with its market value skyrocketing dozens, or even hundreds of times over.It was just a pity that Huang Zhongwang, that good-for-nothing, messed up his plan."By the time you arrest him, it will be too late."Leng Yuanshan dialed a number, his voice cold:"Tie up Zhu Runfu and his son for me! Be careful, Zhu Runfu has a group of Spiritual Energy User mercenaries with him. You'd best act when there are fewer people around him. With his financial background, he can't afford very powerful mercenaries. Be quick and don't get discovered.""Yes, boss!"A low voice came from the other end of the phone.Leng Yuanshan hung up the phone, a cold glint flashing in his eyes."Some people never know their place. If you reach for things that aren't yours to touch, you'll lose your head."Within the vast, desolate desert, a figure stood with a blade, its black frost body hanging down.The next moment, his toes dug into the sand, and his veined hand suddenly gripped the hilt of the blade, "Thunder Snake Stab!"In an instant-A blade's edge tore through the air, purple lightning, like a living creature, surged along the blade's spine, condensing into a ferocious Thunder Snake phantom in mid-air. As the snake's head spat, arcs of electricity crackled, and wherever it passed, sand dunes disintegrated like butter. The edges of the ten-zhang diameter crater were scorched with molten traces, and hot steam rose."Thunderwing Soar!"A roar stirred up a sky full of sand. Two pairs of wing membranes woven from lightning suddenly unfurled on the man's back, each "feather" flowing with liquid lightning.The moment he flapped his wings, the sand on the ground was swept into the air by the powerful lift. When the figure, enveloped in lightning, plunged like a meteor, the sand across ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) the entire desert began to tremble, as if quivering in anticipation of the coming divine punishment.Amidst the roaring sound of lightning blade energy tearing through the earth, a sandstorm vortex with a diameter of a hundred zhang suddenly erupted in the center of the desert. Countless electric arcs, like silver snakes, moved within the eye of the storm, illuminating the entire airspace as bright as day. Sand struck by the lightning crystallized into a glassy state in the air, refracting myriad tiny rainbow lights.Whoosh~~The sandstorm swept past him, yet it could never get close to his body.Qin Tian made a grasping motion with his empty hand, and a vast amount of mental power poured out. The next moment, the violent dust suddenly froze, as if the world had been paused. Immediately after, the sand fell, like a rain of dust."As expected of a Silver-grade blade technique, it's indeed much stronger than the Thunderclap Blade."Qin Tian retracted black frost, a smile appearing on his lips.Silver-grade martial arts techniques, when unleashed, possess immense power, and ordinary training grounds are insufficient for him to practice. Therefore, he came to the Hatula Desert, one of Silver Gray Star's designated death zones, to cultivate martial arts techniques and spells such as "Nine Heaven Punishments," "Dark Prison Demon Suppression Fist," and "Heavenly Thunderfall."It was spacious and secluded here, so no one would disturb him."Where did Kha'Zix run off to again?"Qin Tian turned his head to look into the distance. The Black Gate opened, and he stepped through.Swoosh! The scenery shifted. Below, a black praying mantis, taller than an adult, stood on the head of a giant sand worm. The sand worm's head and body were separated, and dark green liquid flowed, staining the sand a deep color."Meow!!"Upon seeing Qin Tian arrive, Kha'Zix waved his forelegs, as if beckoning."Oh, you took care of a big one, huh~"Qin Tian jumped down and placed his hand on the sand worm's skin. Soon, a green light orb flew into his body, but it was devoured by 【Sandstorm Control】."Unfortunately, it's a duplicate type of talent."Qin Tian shook his head, then raised his hand, revealing the green vine bracelet wrapped around his wrist."Go."Hiss~~The green vine suddenly grew, its tip sharp, like a crusader's spike, plunging into the sand worm's body.Gulp, gulp. The sand worm's blood continuously flowed into the green vine. The green vine visibly thickened and lengthened at a rapid pace. Lumps bulged on the vine, wriggling and undulating like a digestive tract after greedy swallowing. After those protruding fleshy lumps moved around on the vine's surface for a few circles, they were quickly absorbed deep into the vascular network, leaving only fine, vein-like patterns beneath the surface.The massive sand worm corpse rapidly shrunk in a short time, its skin adhering to its bones. Before long, it became a dried skeleton.Pfft~~The green vine pulled out of the sand worm's corpse, its tip stained with traces of blood, twisting and wriggling like a happy child dancing."Come back when you've had your fill."Qin Tian said with a smile.Hiss~The green vine received the command, and its body rapidly shrunk, quickly forming into a green vine bracelet that wrapped around Qin Tian's wrist."It's quite good at draining blood, but its strength is a bit lacking."Qin Tian touched the rough surface of the green vine. This green vine was brought by him from Elf Star. It was originally called Bloodsucking Vine, a very dangerous vine in the forest. It looked almost identical to an ordinary vine, but it could directly pierce into a creature's body when it was off guard and drain its blood dry.However, due to the existence of the Tree God, the number of such dangerous spirit plants is very small, and their danger level is not very high. At most, they can kill a Tier 2 spirit beast. If a creature is stronger, it can easily avoid the Bloodsucking Vine's sneak attack.Qin Tian intercepted a Bloodsucking Vine and used the ability of Green Field Monarch to cultivate and mutate it. After testing, this Bloodsucking Vine was already capable of easily killing Tier 3 creatures.Furthermore, it could differentiate and proliferate, growing dozens or hundreds of branches, possessing a certain degree of area-of-effect attack capability.However, currently, the Bloodsucking Vine has not yet met Qin Tian's expectations. If it is to match his current combat intensity, it still needs to be continuously fed with high-quality fresh blood.As for whether the mutated Bloodsucking Vine has a racial upper limit, Qin Tian is not yet aware. Anyway, he is currently cultivating the Bloodsucking Vine as a pet, feeding it the "leftovers" after battles, which can be considered a form of waste utilization.Buzz~~ Buzz~~Just then, Qin Tian's smart wristband rang."Hello, Lao Mo~""What? Are they both alright?""Okay, I'll be right back."Hanging up the phone, a cold glint flashed in Qin Tian's eyes.
