Chapter 1173
Chapter 1173: Chapter 1176 – Bubble_1 Chapter 1173: Chapter 1176 – Bubble_1 Compared to each time the land is exploited, the scale of exploitation this time is not large.
So far, nobody on the entire Mirror Lake Continent has obtained a top-quality weapon, while some high-grade ones have emerged.
Even the high-grade ones, the most valuable and precious flying palace and domain-related ones, have never been found, which makes those experts a bit disappointed.
Of the hundreds of thousands of people who initially entered the Mirror Lake Continent, after so many years of struggle, the current total population is less than one hundred thousand.
That’s the cruelty of the Martial Artists World.
The survivors are steeped in riches, while the dead are left with nothing.
However, it’s not over yet.
…
Currently, there are new signs of unrest in the Volcano Group.
In one and a half years, it’ll fully erupt, and this period is actually the explosive period for treasures.
The best things usually appear at the end.
The question is whether you can last until that point.
**********
On Mirror Lake, a free-flying satellite is flying low.
This is the free-flying satellite of the Northern Alliance, whose owner is called Garcia, a Quasi-God King level expert.
He, along with the people in the satellite, is searching for treasures here.
His method of searching is to send out underwater thrusters, searching inch by inch underwater, which, while being a dumb method, is rather practical.
Right now, he’s on a call with the person in the underwater thruster.
“How’s it going?
Have you found anything?”
“Lord Garcia, nothing has been found here.”
“Keep looking forward, damn it!
Could today be another fruitless day?”
As Garcia was grumbling, news came from below.
“Lord!
There’s movement.
A faint yellow light appears ninety kilometers ahead of me.”
“Speed up!”
The free-flying satellite and the underwater thruster fired up almost simultaneously, heading in that direction.
Ninety kilometers was just a sprint, accomplished in the blink of an eye.
Soon, the image fed back from the underwater thruster appeared in Garcia’s control room.
In the deep water, a person was sitting on the bottom, a nine-story tower atop his head from which rolled down waves of Xuanhuang Qi, blocking off the surrounding lake water.
The Xuanhuang Qi was protecting the person inside, who seemed to be cultivating.
Garcia was stunned as he looked at the person, and then blurted out.
“Damn!
It’s actually Lin Zhen!”
Garcia is aware of Lin Zhen’s story, but since he was quite far from the beach area, he did not join in the hunt for Lin Zhen originally.
Lin Zhen has been out of sight ever since, but Garcia did not expect him to be hiding here.
Looking at the Xuanhuang Tower on Lin Zhen’s body, and the Sun, Moon, and Star Rings on his forehead, Garcia began to get excited.
“I have hit the jackpot!
Hit the jackpot!
As long as I deal with Lin Zhen, we will count our trip to this new land successful.
This guy is loaded with treasures.”
His subordinates quickly came over and said to him: “Lord, Lin Zhen is not easy to deal with.
Even Andromandis, who made it to God King Level, was repelled after he took Sovereign Liquid.
We have to be careful not to be bitten back by him.”
Garcia nodded: “Of course, I’m aware of this.
Don’t worry, as long as we trap him first, he will be like a fish in a barrel.”
“What is the lord planning to do?”
“Do you know that this free-flying satellite used to be a vehicle for a God King?” Garcia asked his subordinate.
“I’ve heard of it, my lord, it’s why you bought this discarded satellite of that God King, who now travels in a flying palace.”
“Exactly, I bought this free-flying satellite because it has a function to release an energy shield, enclosing the target within.
The God King initially couldn’t comprehend a technique and couldn’t keep his mind calm, so he made this energy shield to enclose himself and then meditate in there.”
“Can….
it trap him?”
“He was trapped, at least before the God King could comprehend that technique, because if he did not comprehend it, he would never be able to leave the shield.
That’s called fighting to survive from a desperate position.
So, wouldn’t you say a shield that can trap a God King can also trap Lin Zhen?”
His subordinate was overjoyed: “It definitely can, my lord!
Take action now!
This guy is in the middle of cultivation.
As long as we move quickly enough, he won’t have time to react.”
“Don’t worry, he’s underwater, he won’t notice.”
Garcia called back the Underwater thrusters and then opened the hatch of the free-flying satellite.
A large quantity of Energy Blocks started to burn.
The collected energy formed a ball, silently falling into the water from the hatch.
If it wasn’t for the slightly different color, this ball would appear like a large bubble floating underwater, slowly approaching Lin Zhen.
From the tip of the Xuanhuang Tower, the ball descended.
Silently, it opened up to encompass the Xuanhuang Tower within the bubble, then it continued to descend, the tower body, the base of the tower, Lin Zhen’s body, until it finally landed beneath the mud in which Lin Zhen was sitting.
The bubble’s opening silently closed, wrapping Lin Zhen, the Xuanhuang Tower, and even the mud underneath, all into it, eventually forming a giant underwater sphere.
This process did not create any sounds, and didn’t even cause a ripple in the water, so Lin Zhen remained unaware.
Upon completion of this process, Garcia heaved a sigh of relief.
“Finally, it’s done.
The energy bubble actually consumed Energy Blocks worth five million points.
If I can’t catch Lin Zhen, it really would be running at a loss this time.”
“Lord, what should we do next?”
“Well, that’s simple.
The bubble will automatically drain the water out, and then I will retrieve it.
Afterwards, it’s just a negotiation with Lin Zhen.
I believe that this guy, unable to break the bubble, will certainly choose to negotiate with me.
I can make him slowly surrender his treasures.
If he doesn’t trust me, I can make a martial artist pact.”
“My lord, what if he disagrees?”
“Hmph!
Then I’ll take a small loss and sell this bubble.
Five hundred million points should still be sellable, right?
I believe there will be quite a few God king-level experts scrambling for it.”
Garcia had already calculated everything.
He let the bubble automatically drain the water, then slowly retrieved it back into the free-flying satellite.
The hatch opened again, and as the bubble was retracted and closed, Lin Zhen was unwittingly brought into the free-flying satellite.
Feeling that Lin Zhen could no longer stir up trouble, Garcia finally came to Lin Zhen’s side.
With the energy bubble separating them, Garcia began to laugh.
“Hahahaha!
Lin Zhen, oh Lin Zhen, did you think it was very safe hiding at the bottom of Mirror Lake?
But you didn’t expect this day, did you?
Now should we discuss the score that you’ve had against our Northern Alliance these many times?”
Inside the bubble, Lin Zhen’s Xuanhuang Tower had already stopped rotating, because there was no lake water here anymore, and it was quietly floating.
As for Lin Zhen himself, he did not immediately open his eyes.
After the Xuanhuang Tower stopped, countless complex hand gestures came from his hands!
“Pat!
Pat!
