Swallowed Star - Chapter 209 The Big Excavation
In the air above the lake, Hong, who was dragging the corpse of the grand emperor, was heading towards the wilderness land, before descending slowly, allowing the corpse to rest on the land.
Pu tong!
Each of the rough 1500m long tentacles began to fall on the wilderness land, causing the entire land to rumble as though an earthquake has occurred.
âSo strong.â
Luo Feng looked up towards the black clothed âHongâ. While his face was ghastly pale, his eyes were bright and shining, with a sense of glee and satisfaction! Floating high above, Hong surveyed his surroundings, almost like a King overlooking his territory. No one dared make eye contact with Hong.
âInvincible amongst the Star Travellers? Even in the water, he was able to kill a water grand emperor.â Luo Feng was really shocked.
Invincible amongst the Star Travellers only meant that no other star traveller could be his match. It didnât mean that he had the ability to kill the star travellers at his level! Like how the âHigher Monster leadersâ were as strong and fast as the wargod leveled humans, because of their diversity and growths, had a natural advantage in power and strength.
Grand emperor! Just itâs body strength and everything else should be above âHongâ.
It was even in itâs natural habitat, the water, when it battled. If it wasnât for Hongâs own domain, any other level 6 star traveller would have instantly died! Because Hong had his own âdomainâ, he was invincible amongst the star travellers. Be it on land or air, he was able to kill any enemy.
However, in water, his power was greatly diminished, while the monsterâs power was greatly boosted. One diminished while the other got stronger.
That was why Hong was not guaranteed to kill the grand emperor in the water!
This time however, with the Cloud Contact Vine, along with a few well-timed attacks and opportunities that he took advantage of, Hong succeeded!
âGrand Emperor, one day, I want to be able to kill one by myself.â Luo Feng looked far at Hong, who seemed almost like a god, and his heart was filled with great longing.
******
While Luo Feng and some of the other warriors were still in shock over Hongâs battle accomplishment, the other governments from the countries of earth began to feel an itch for the materials.
âŠâŠ
âGrand Emperor corpse, this is the first the worldâs ever seen and acquired. Itâs price is immeasurable.â
âŠâŠ
âMy Prime minister, we at the National Research Department have never gotten a piece of a grand emperorâs body, I beseech you Mr Prime Minister, please talk with the Dojo of Limits to let us have a piece of the grand emperorâs corpse.â
âŠâŠ
âI suggest immediately buying a piece of the grand emperorâs body, and the part we should research first should be the bone structure and skeleton, skin composition and more. We, the HR Alliance are the worldâs leading weapon suppliers. We need this to research and create more powerful weapons and battle armors to continue to dominate the high-end market.â
âŠâŠ
The 5 great countries, HR Alliance and more were all eyeing the corpse greatly.
One has to know that when the first corpse of a King level Monster first came about, this allowed man to create the SS grade battle armors and weapons. This ultimately led to the SSS level grade battle armors and weapons. However, in comparison, the SSS leveled items were too expensive as they were completed made with high grade and expensive materials. That was why almost no one bought the SSS grade armors.
With that kind of money, one would rather buy a Black God Set!
Now that the first grand emperor corpse was acquired, with intensive research and study, who knew what results and discoveries would be made!
******
Night had come and it was dark.
The Australian Mainland, over the vast wilderness, had what seemed like a small mountain of a corpse lying on it. A black clothed Hong was standing at the side, in comparison to the size of the grand emperorâs corpse, was like an ant next to a giant.
âLiu He.â
Hong began to speak.
âHead.â Liu He, who was far in in the Hong Ning base immediately responded.
âImmediately dispatch a research team, along with 2 special small teams of wargods. Using the fastest speed, get over here to Misty Island to meet me.â Hong ordered.
âYes, Head.â
Liu He followed his orders.
âŠâŠ
Not just that, Hong immediately ordered âBeastâ of the three royal guards to rush over. With that, all of them would be gathered here! In the most crucial moments, these were the people Hong trusted the most.
âYes, Master.â A low thick voice emanated from the phoneâs communicator.
âBrother Hong.â
A voice filled with ridicule sounded, face still pale without a hint of blood, Hong turned coldly towards the voice. It was from the white robed baldy âThunder Godâ. Thunder God was smiling, raising his head to look at the enormous corpse: âBrother Hong, I really admire you, you actually killed the grand emperor.â
Hong just nodded his head a little.
âDamn, not in the least modest.â Thunder God couldnât help but blink his eyes.
Hong gave Thunder God a look with a sense of helplessness.
They were both born right before the period of the Great Nirvana, Thunder God was a mixed blood, with a little Chinese and Indian lineage. Thunder Godâs father was a Yoga Master who once specially went to India to study Yoga, that was where he met Thunder Godâs Mother and subsequently returned to China.
Thunder Godâs demeanor had always been fun and mischievous, but due to the influence of movies and television, grew to love Chinese Martial Arts.
Having been trained under his father from a young age, his yoga was pretty good. Along with that, his hard work and study in chinese martial arts gained him quite a reputation among the martial arts circles as the âThunder Madmanâ. Within the Chinese martial arts circles, everybody knew there was a really competitive mixed blood youngster. When the Great Nirvana period came, Thunder God combined his Chinese martial arts and Yoga to create his powerful bodyâs technique, . Unlike Thunder God, before the Great Nirvana, Hong was an assassin!
A killer and a buffoon, what a bizarre combination.
While their characters were different, they did share a similarity, and that was their expectations of themselves were extremely high and strict!
From knowing nothing to being strictly trained in yoga by his father, Thunder God could definitely do hard work.
There was no need to even mention Hong. His background as an assassin led to his cold personality.
During the Great Nirvana, the twoâs power levels suddenly soared, in addition to a few miracles plus their natural genius, the two mutually verified, their strengths grew even faster! With the basics of the body and a proper training regime from a young age, Thunder God naturally grew stronger than Hong. Also, with such a systematic form of training and learning, his improvement speed had always been shocking.
Be it body strength, speed, sturdiness and usage of the muscles and their limits, Thunder God was above Hong in all.
Hong only had one thing, his perception and wits were extremely high, a star traveller having his own domain! Naturally he became the worldâs strongest.
Of these 2, one established the Dojo of Limits while the other the Thunder Dojo.
While those under them were constantly fighting and competing, Hong and Thunder God never stopped or intervened. The two have been through countless life or death situations together and were on good terms. The competition between the warriors below them had their benefits.
âBrother Hong, youâve already killed this grand emperor, thereâs still two more in the sea, canât you kill them too?â Thunder God asked, âIf you do that, our lives would be a lot easier and safer.â
âItâs not the same.â
Hong shook his head,â This lakeâs depth is only 300m, in spite of its large area. To the grand emperor, one tentacle alone is 1500m. This means that in the lake, it is difficult for it to fully move. The shallow depth limits its full capabilities. Not to mention it barely just evolved to the grand emperor level not long ago, not fully learning how to utilize its body and power. Itâs all these reasons put together that I was able to kill it.
âThe two old bastards in the sea however, evolved to the emperor level during the Great Nirvana period, before growing to the emperor level afterwards! Those two have fought countless battles in the sea before gaining the emperor status.â
âThis tentacle monster seemed to have popped out of nowhere suddenly, with little experience and control of itself. It doesnât hold a candle to the other 2.â Hong shook his head.
Thunder God nodded his head slightly.
âNo rush, our strengths are greater than those two bastards, they will never dare to come on shore!â Hong said, âWhen we finally enter the Star level, or my Cloud Contact Vine grows more powerful, we will definitely stand a chance. The cloud contact vine is still very weak.â
âDonât talk to me about the cloud contact vine. It makes me green with envy.â Thunder God couldnât help but spit out,â Damn, to be able to find a Cloud Contact Vine on earth, your luck definitely is off the charts.â
Cloud Contact Vine
It was definitely an invaluable treasure. In the vast universe, just one of them was indefinitely valuable. It was because of some universe knowledge passed on from previous generations that one knew what it is worth of. Hong was extremely excited then from attaining this treasure, so much so that he gave the âspiritual weaponâ to Luo Feng. That was because to Hong, the spiritual weapon couldnât compare to the Cloud Contact vine!
******
âLuo Feng, gather here with me.â Luo Feng received his phone call.
âYes, Head.â
Luo Feng flew towards his Dojoâs Headâs location, overlooking the enormous grand emperorâs corpse below. In his heart, he felt a little suspicious. If the Head had enough power alone to kill the grand emperor, why did he need to gather him over? To Hong, a few more helpers and representatives shouldnât make any difference.
Sou!
Luo Feng descended, at the same time Hong was standing at the side of the grand emperorâs corpse, beside him stood the Great Allure and Ice Mountain.
âHead.â Luo Feng landed.
âLuo Feng.â
Hong looked at Luo Feng, slightly nodding his head, âIâve already killed the grand emperor, the biggest obstacle in our excavating of the Misty island lake is gone. The other countries, HR Alliance etc and the representatives, some of them have already begun their excavation of the lake! There are many more whoâve begun to prepare to work.â
âIâve already arranged for many to come over.â
âRight now, you three should immediately begin entering the lake and excavating for treasures!â Hong ordered seriously, âThe moment you discover a treasure, if you can take it, take it! If itâs not possible, let me know immediately.â
âYes, Head.â
Donning a golden mask, Allure and Ice Mountain, along with Luo Feng immediately followed his orders.
âOf course, once youâve discovered a treasure, if weâve successfully acquired it, the person who discovered it will too be rewarded 30% rewards. The person who acquires it too will get 30%. The remaining 40% will go to the dojo.â Hong stated seriously, âThis means that once you discover a treasure and acquire it, you automatically get 60% of the rewards.â
Allure, Ice Mountain, and Luo Feng nodded their heads.
To get 60% was not a bad deal. Also, once they acquired the treasures, they didnât have to worry about theft or fights from others, since they had Hong backing them.
âGood, you three can set off now!â Hong ordered.
âYes.â
Luo Feng, Allure and Ice Mountain followed the order.
They immediately became three bright lights rushing towards the lake. At the same time, countless other representatives and warriors, occasionally one or two at a time, flew towards Misty Island lake. A big excavation that captured the attention of the whole world had just officially begun.
