A few seconds after Wang Che sent the message.
Dense replies immediately appeared on the communication device.
“Hahahaha… Flying Lizard… Not bad, you can even escape. You’re really lucky.”
“Even the first place winner of the last competition is like this. It seems that everyone’s situation is very bad… I’m relieved now.”
“It’s getting better… My mood is getting better. Thank you for sharing, Brother Wang Che!”
“It shouldn’t be that bad, right?”
…
Wang Che saw many replies.
Soon, there were two private messages.
“Wang Che, where are you now? I’ve recorded two locations. There are a few Heart Rending Ants over there, but they’re all here. I gave up on them. You can go and see if there’s any chance.”
“If you have time, share with me your method of training the green caterpillar.”
The message was from Chen Fei.
“Hmm… this guy should be a youth who only has soul beast training on his mind.”
Wang Che pondered for a few seconds and did not forget his green caterpillar.
“Ha! I told you not to come with us! If the three of us were together, not only would you be filled with riches, but we would also not let you return empty-handed, right?”
The message was from Bai Youyou.
This girl was very good at sharing and often showed off the good things she could share in the public channel.
At the same time, she was not stupid and did not reveal any location information.
The other one was from Cheng Cheng.
“It’s good as long as you can get out safely. Be careful. I encountered a few contestants who left the arena on the way. I discovered that the injuries on their bodies don’t seem to be caused by the soul beasts here… They seem to be caused by someone…”
Wang Che found this news rather interesting.
“Based on the replies of these people…” Wang Che pondered for a moment. There was a high chance that what they said on the public channel was true.
Perhaps there was really nothing much to gain.
He had seen enough.
Wang Che thought about it and replied: “Thank you for your concern.”
Then, he closed the public channel.
“There are still a few hours. There’s no need to go to the other floating lands. Just refine the things you obtained first. With the Soul Calming Fruit and the Jumping Grass as the main herbs and the other selected herbs as support, it should be enough to refine two portions of Marrow Cleansing Paste.”
“I’ll eat the remaining Soul Calming Fruit and cultivate. This way, I can slightly touch the first level of the Soul Cultivation Chapter.”
“Although the pebble-like spirit stone is very small, it’s enough for the mechanical meteorite armor to be used… There’s even a surplus.”
“There are also two rocks that were dug out from the ground. One of them is scorching hot and contains a rich fire life force. The other one looks like a diamond and is incomparably hard. It contains a rich rock attribute life force. They should be life force crystals from some era. They’re extremely expensive outside and have a wide range of uses.”
“Be it medicine, cultivation, cultivation venue, life strengthening, or even when used as one of the rare materials for soul pets to evolve… even if I casually sell it, I can still earn quite a bit.”
Some soul pets’ evolution path was related to the Contract Soul Master’s martial soul.
At the same time, it required a certain amount of materials to evolve.
Life energy crystals were considered one of the materials.
“From the looks of it, this last soul device should have a very long history. It did exist two thousand years ago, but at that time, civilization was destroyed. After rebuilding, human civilization took thousands of years to rise again. The technology now is naturally much stronger than back then…”
The last soul device he obtained had almost been corroded.
It looked like a triangular club.
The surface was dark and looked like an activator. In Wang Che’s senses, this thing did not have much energy.
It was also very difficult to recognize the type of soul device.
“Hmm…”
Wang Che stared at the soul device. It looked a little like the Ultraman transformation device on earth.
In his experience, this was obviously not a transformation device.
It seemed more like a key or something.
However, it might be damaged now.
He had to deal with it.
“Let’s not worry about this for now. I can first refine the Marrow Cleansing Paste…”
Wang Che took out the furnace, built a fire, and began to work…
——
At the same time, outside the Floating Forest.
Adjutant Li looked at the distant Floating Forest that was shrouded in thick fog. His tall figure stood like a statue in silence.
He suddenly asked, “How many are left?”
The soldier beside him replied, “About 13 people.”
Adjutant Li asked again, “Where are the Ghost Disciples?”
The soldier flipped through the information in his hand and replied, “From the current contestants who were injured and eliminated, there are at least ten or more. The ones who attacked were all Ghost Soul Masters above Level 30…”
Adjutant Li sneered, “As expected, they won’t commit themselves until success is certain. More than half a year ago, the higher-ups obtained information that a group of unknown Ghost Disciples had entered our West Peak Continent to hide. Their goal is unknown. In the past half a year, there have been no traces at all.”
“The higher-ups analyzed that there’s a high chance that they will appear in this year’s Soul Earth exploration and kill our West Peak Continent’s young geniuses. I didn’t expect it to be true.”
Adjutant Li looked coldly at the Floating Forest.
Ghost Disciples were humans who had been infected by the other world’s Soul Demons and had weak wills.
After that battle, there were countless injuries on the ground. Although humans recuperated and gradually recovered, there were also many bad things growing internally.
Due to the influence of those otherworldly Soul Demons back then, the Soul Return Illusions they left in the Soul Earth infected many humans with weak wills and became Ghost Disciples.
These Ghost Disciples retained their consciousness when they were alive, but their minds had changed drastically.
They had inherited the viciousness, cruelty, ruthlessness, and cunning of the Soul Demons. They were extremely selfish and did not hesitate to make themselves stronger at any cost. They had a great hatred and destruction for modern human society.
They had always been suppressed, but it was difficult to eliminate them.
“A bunch of parasites,” Adjutant Li said coldly, “I’m going to catch them all today! They dare to come to the West Peak Continent to be arrogant?”
“However, the remaining Ghost Disciples shouldn’t be exposed so easily.” The soldier said, “The Floating Forest Soul Earth is huge. In addition, the remaining 13 contestants are very smart. They will immediately leave if they sense any danger. They don’t even need us to save them. Moreover, when we rescued them previously, they should have understood our goal.”
“They might only continue to lurk in the Soul Earth.”
“That might not be the case.” Adjutant Li shook his head and said, “The remaining thirteen contestants are more likely to make a move. This is because the remaining ones mean that their strength and talent far exceed those eliminated. These Ghost Disciples love to slaughter human geniuses who have yet to grow.”
“Two years ago, in the most famous soul pet university in the continent of Kyrgyz in the Sunlight War Zone, there was a riot at Bluff University. More than a hundred students died and countless soul masters were injured. It was this group of scoundrels that caused it.”
“Even in such a dangerous place, these scumbags dare to act recklessly, let alone a mere Soul Earth. Even if they know that we are secretly protecting them, they will definitely attack at any cost.”
The soldier pondered.
He suddenly thought of something and asked, “Oh right, Sir, when did you confirm that these Ghost Disciples had come to the Floating Forest?”
There was only news from the top that there was a chance that these Ghost Disciples would appear in the Soul Earth.
Confirming the news was another matter.
Adjutant Li said, “On the way here, a contestant called Wang Che discovered the phenomenon of the deer group being attacked and participated in it. Later, he reported it to us in time. After investigating the scene, we can confirm that the ones who attacked were probably those Ghost Disciples’ soul pets.”
The soldier was shocked, “Wang Che? So this is the reason for his bonus points? No wonder he directly got so many points…”
At this moment, a warning suddenly sounded.
“Immediately send reinforcements!”
Several figures suddenly flew out of the tents stationed behind and quickly entered the Floating Forest.
