Chapter 52 - New Use Of Luck Points
“Where’s all the demon beasts? Where’s the insect beasts?”
After storming all the red regions, Zhou Hao was stunned. He hurriedly informed Commander Zhao and the others through the wireless channel.
Commander Zhao smiled and said, “Senior Zhou, you might not know this, but once a high-level demon king dies in the wilderness outside a city, the demon kings in the other regions will sense its death and will evacuate their area one after another.”
“Those demon kings must have sensed the death of the Seven-Tailed Cloud Mink as they were traveling towards it and fled in panic!”
Zhou Hao immediately came to a realization and said speechlessly, “These demon kings are too cowardly!”
Zhen Hong’s laughter sounded from the wireless channel. “Senior Zhou, it’s mainly because you’re so valiant. The other demon kings must be scared out of their wits after finding out that the Seven-Tailed Cloud Mink died so quickly!”
“That’s right. King-level demon beasts are all intelligent beings and not inferior to humans. They are even more sensitive to danger. If even a powerful existence like the Seven-Tailed Cloud Mink was killed so quickly, how could they not escape?” He Biao’s voice also sounded.
Zhou Hao said helplessly, “Alright, I was thinking of killing some more demon kings!”
historical
He Biao flattered, “Senior Zhou, it’s rather difficult for other peak-level grandmasters to kill even a single demon king. Moreover, they have to be very careful when they’re facing one, Yet you’re complaining that the demon kings are escaping too quickly!”
The other grandmasters’ voices also sounded.
As they chatted, the topic moved to the Seven-Tailed Cloud Mink’s corpse.
It was as if a hornet’s nest had been poked. The group of grandmasters immediately fell into a heated argument. Even Commander Zhao could not help but ask for the corpse materials.
After all, this was a high-level demon king corpse and its material was very precious.
The speechless Zhou Hao could only temporarily turn off the wireless channel. Standing in the flourishing ancient forest, he frowned.
The demon kings and king-level insect beasts had all fled, leaving only some demon generals behind. Zhou Hao didn’t care about them because the luck points accumulation speed would be too slow.
“Forget it, I’ll find the shadow insects first!” Shaking his head, he sighed.
As he walked around the wilderness area, the horizon began to glow, but Zhou Hao did not notice a single shadow insect.
“These shadow insects are too difficult to sense!” Zhou Hao was somewhat annoyed. His blood essence was mellow and his sensing ability far surpassed that of Commander Zhao, He Biao, and the other grandmasters. However, even so, he still did not discover any traces of them.
He opened the wireless channel and asked Commander Zhao and the others about the situation. All of them shook their heads.
“It’s almost dawn. The shadow insects are even harder to discover during the day. Let’s continue at night!” Commander Zhao suggested.
If the shadow insects were so easily discovered, they would have long been cleaned up by humans.
Therefore, Commander Zhao was already mentally prepared when he proposed the cleanup operation!
“You guys go back first. I’ll keep looking!” Zhou Hao was unwilling to give up. After all, he felt that the Life Stone would be extremely beneficial to his father’s health.
The sky gradually turned bright.
The stars retreated and Zhou Hao searched on for a bit longer, but he still found nothing.
Sitting on a hundred-meter-tall ancient tree branch, he killed a python and pondered with a frown.
However, after thinking for a while, he still did not have any clues.
“Forget it, I can’t be impatient. I’ll continue tomorrow!” He still had classes in the morning and could not stay in the wilderness.
On the way back to the city, he habitually opened the virtual screen. Seeing the 750,000 luck points on the screen made him feel much better.
“Wait.. how could I have forgotten my luck points!” He suddenly stopped in his tracks and stared at the virtual screen.
Luck points could increase one’s luck.
And luck played a role in finding the shadow insects.
“I’ll give it a try and see if it works!” After his experience with the mystery boxes, he became very confident in the power of his luck points. However, he knew that the luck points were consumed relatively quickly, so he rarely used it for any purposes other than opening boxes.
“I’ll spend a hundred first!”
With a thought, the number of luck points decreased by 100.
He immediately returned to the wilderness area and began to search.
Ten minutes later, nothing happened.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Hao simply continued to spend 100 luck points per minute.
“I’ll just do this for half an hour more. By then, regardless of whether I find anything, I’ll return to the city!” As he pondered, he increased his speed.
As his luck points continued to be consumed, he searched everywhere like a headless fly as he unknowingly headed towards Area 275.
Soon, more than twenty minutes passed.
Zhou Hao stood at the edge of Area 275, looking slightly stunned.
“How did I end up here?” he muttered to himself. District 275 was a relatively large mass grave. A huge battle had happened here more than a decade ago.
Large numbers of demon beast, insect, and beast bones were buried underground, as well as the corpses of human martial artists.
However, now that it had become a huge pit, the bones were covered by a large number of weeds.
“Could the shadow insects be hidden here?”
A thought suddenly flashed through his mind. After careful thought, he realized that it was indeed possible!
Back then, after the war, countless demon beasts and insect beasts had died, causing the area to have chaotic energy. No other demon beasts or insects had come here for more than a decade, and human experts rarely stepped foot here because the chaotic energy would interrupt their senses.
The stronger one was, the more reliant on their aura senses.
Thinking of this, Zhou Hao did not hesitate. He took a step and arrived at the center of a huge pit. He did not use his blood essence to sense his surroundings and instead directly bombarded the ground.
