Chapter 72: A Proper Exploration Team

Neo didn’t need to say anything.

These people were some of the best in their powers.

They took full advantage of the rest, and all they had learned since they entered the domain, to reorganize their people.

By the time they were done, every one of the cultivators had been grouped according to their strength, and integrated into different small teams.

Samath and her people being from the military had it easy.

They had no need to be separated and joined into another team.

If there was one good thing the limit breaker who killed the transformed strange creatures had done.

It was to show that this was indeed the strange creatures final form.

The strange creatures could indeed be killed.

This was evidenced by the riloma that fell to the floor, after their bodies burst into that bloody liquid.

Everyone was ready now.

They prepared themselves to face the strange creatures.

The only thing that held them back now, was the shield Neo had placed around them.

Neo didn’t waste time.

They were all fired up.

He couldn’t let their determination waver.

The moment his shield came down, their own shield also came up.

Neo had been considerate enough to push the strange creatures back, before he dropped the shield.

The shield that the cultivators brought up wasn’t to stop the attack of the strange creatures.

It was to prevent themselves from being showered by that foul, disgusting liquid.

Everyone was close enough to each other that they could effectively gather their strengths, and condense the shield .

Other than the group that created the shield, another group was in charge of attacking.

In this way, they created a simple formation for them to clear this part of the domain.

Their progress onward into the domain became steady.

They cleared this batch of strange creatures in no time.

Compared to when they first entered into the domain, the whole group looked more proper and organized.

From all indications, it looked like everything would become smooth from this moment on.

That was an assumption that was soon corrected.

The bird-like strange creatures were gone, but they had been replaced.

By the humanoids.

They had also transformed.

Into fleshy beings with pulsating, red flesh.

The group needed to revise their methods to deal with this new enemies.

But they weren’t as easy to deal with as the previous bird-like ones.

Even more so, when they approached the group from every corner.

The group had to break into smaller teams to deal with them.

The composition of each team showed the thoughtfulness of the limit breakers.

Every team was functionally complete.

It wasn’t easy, but they slowly dealt with the strange creatures.

The domain, however, seemed to be sentient.

The moment they got better with dealing with the humanoid strange creatures.

Those bird-like ones, they thought they had seen the end of, re-emerged from nowhere.

They swooped down on the group.

Straining their formation.

As the teams were only just formed, lapses began to appear.

Neo also couldnt continue to only observe them.

He began to attack.

Every move he made, wasn’t to clear the way for them.

All he did was reduce the burden, whenever a team was about to be overwhelmed.

In a way, Neo had now become their unofficial instructor.

He only made a move whenever they were about to be overwhelmed, but left them to their devices otherwise.

They kept being swarmed by the strange creatures, the further they went.

Everyone was too preoccupied with fighting, to gather the riloma.

It was left to Neo to take on that job.

All he had to do was wave his hand, and the riloma would be gathered and dumped into the bucket he now carried.

Despite the heated battle around him, he moved with leisure.

The riloma was still the blue liquid, it had been transformed into.

But now, it had a faint tinge of purple.

Neo understood this progression.

He almost found it funny.

His thought turned to the bright golden light of opportunity that had come out of this pathway.

If a path that promised such a good thing was this hard.

Then, these people had no business going into the one that glared with the bright red of danger.

This opportunity had better be worth it, or everyone here would blame themselves for entering.

This current situation also forced everyone to do their best.

Everyone with a bloodline, pushed their bloodlines to the limit.

They only came short of overdrawing it.

That would be a stupid thing to do.

They had to do their best, but they also had to be prepared for the future battles.

It didn’t look like they would be resting any time soon.

He had already seen the best of everyone here, at least that was what he thought.

Until Suren was pushed to her limit, and she activated her bloodline.

Neo found himself surprised.

This woman was indeed unusual, and in almost every way he could think of now.

Their journey deep into the domain wasn’t smooth, but it was without casualties.

And as they killed the last strange creature, they knew that the chance for a reprieve had arrived.

They were getting closer to the next rest stop.

No strange creatures would be appearing anytime soon.

The rest stop was still some distance away, but everyone had become relaxed.

They had just gone through one hell of a battle.

The whole thing might have been leisurely to Neo, but to them it was a great struggle.

One to keep their lives.

Many broke down into tears of joy.

Some even burst into boisterous laughter.

The loudest one was from Suren.

The woman hugged Kotil tight, as she burst into laughter.

Neo shook his head as he watched all of this.

Different people had different ways of dealing with situations that stressed them to the point of distress.

Maybe the personality Suren had developed, had something to do with this.

She was a truly interesting person.

Unfortunate to have been born in this mortal world.

Very unfortunate.

They saw the rest stop in front of them, and something even more surprising.

They saw other people.

It seemed when the book Humba gave them mentioned that this path was unexplored.

It only meant unexplored by their people.
