Hong Kun replied, "The human body's Ten Major Acupoints are Zusanli Acupoint, Shaoshang Acupoint, Liangqiu Acupoint, Guanyuan Acupoint, Quchi Acupoint, Lingxu Acupoint, Huagai Acupoint, Tianding Acupoint, Chongyang Acupoint, and Shenting Acupoint."
After hearing the explanation, Lu Feng realized that the third acupoint he was currently trying to break through was probably Liangqiu Acupoint.
If there were a steady supply of Exotic Beasts for him to Absorb Energy from, perhaps he could break through all his acupoints in no time and advance toward the Innate Realm.
Unfortunately, that was almost impossible.
After Chasing Wind Squad traveled for another two days, they still hadn't found any trace of an ore vein, so they had no choice but to return to the Temporary Starry Sky Station to resupply.
Over the next few days, several other squads from the 115th Legion took turns going out to explore.
Chasing Wind Squad's task was to stand guard with several other squads around the perimeter of the station, preventing Exotic Beasts from breaking in and causing damage.
This task was just as important. If an Exotic Beast damaged the starship, the consequences would be unimaginable.
A sentry post stood every thirty li around the Starry Sky Station, with one squad assigned to each post in rotation.
The sentry post Chasing Wind Squad was responsible for stood about twenty li due south of the Dawn Starship.
As a club that had joined the expedition, Skyfire Club was assigned specifically to patrol the sentry post's surroundings.
They were required to patrol the area within ten li every hour.
If they spotted anything unusual nearby, they had to notify all the Chasing Wind Squad members at the sentry post immediately.
"Uncle Hong, Uncle Yang, Brother Yu, Brother Chen, go get some rest. I can patrol by myself," Lu Feng told them.
Hong Kun immediately objected. "How can we do that? If an Exotic Beast takes advantage of the opening and breaks into the station, our Skyfire Club won't be able to take responsibility."
"Don't worry. Nothing will happen. Have you forgotten? I can sense the presence of Exotic Beasts within ten kilometers."
In fact, he had already sensed several Drill Bulls a few kilometers away.
They weren't heading toward the sentry post, and Lu Feng was planning to go out and control them himself so he could Absorb Energy from them.
Only then did Hong Kun remember. "I almost forgot. You've got a Special Ability. All right, we'll go inside and rest for a while. But if you sense an Exotic Beast approaching, call us out at once."
Hong Kun led the others into the sentry post.
They didn't actually rest, though. Each of them went to their own room to cultivate.
As Warriors, they all wanted to use their limited time to improve their strength.
Since Lu Feng could sense the movements of Exotic Beasts, nothing should go wrong.
Once they had gone inside, Lu Feng immediately headed toward the area a few kilometers away.
He moved at incredible speed, reaching his target in just a few minutes. It took him only a few more to drain all the energy from the Drill Bulls.
After entering the Second Layer of the Meridian Condensing Realm, the Mark's capacity had expanded further. It could now hold all the energy from five early-stage third-order Exotic Beasts at once.
With a sensing range of ten kilometers, Lu Feng could continually detect the scattered Drill Bulls nearby and hurry over to Absorb Energy from them.
The energy in his Mark filled up again and again, and he used it to break through his acupoints.
In just a few days, he had broken through Liangqiu Acupoint and Guanyuan Acupoint in succession, reaching the Fourth Layer of the Meridian Condensing Realm.
On the fourth day of their watch, Lu Feng again told Hong Kun and the others to go back and rest while he sensed for activity outside.
There had been nothing unusual for several days, so Hong Kun and the others didn't think much of it. They went straight back to their rooms to cultivate.
As soon as they entered the sentry post, Lu Feng ran toward the perimeter.
He sensed a herd of Drill Bulls charging toward them from the south, numbering more than a dozen.
The Drill Bulls seemed to have been frightened by something and were stampeding toward the Starry Sky Station.
By all rights, Lu Feng should have reported it to Gao Zhan at once, or at least alerted Hong Kun and the others.
But faced with a moving source of energy, Lu Feng hesitated for a moment and chose to act alone.
He sprinted outward as fast as he could and finally encountered the herd five kilometers from the sentry post.
The moment the frightened Drill Bulls saw Lu Feng, they stopped and stood motionless.
At the same time, a steady stream of energy began pouring frantically into Lu Feng's body.
As he absorbed the energy of these third-order Drill Bulls, he felt no burning sensation in his chest. He could even Absorb Energy while using the energy in his Mark to break through the acupoints in his body.
As time passed, more and more scattered Drill Bulls gathered in the area.
The Drill Bulls whose energy had been drained lay weakly on the ground, unable to move, while the herds that kept arriving continued to provide Lu Feng with energy.
Lu Feng didn't know that a hundred li away, Night Owl Squad was carrying out an exploration mission on the southern side of Sudali Plain.
They were searching everywhere for the Drill Bulls that had scattered after the previous battle and deliberately driving them toward the sentry post where Chasing Wind Squad was stationed.
"Captain, we've already driven two or three hundred Drill Bulls over there. Should we keep going?" one of the Night Owl Squad members reported to Zheng Yi.
"Keep going. Drive over as many as you can find nearby. Even if we can't wipe out Chasing Wind Squad, we can at least make Gao Zhan and the others suffer."
"But we've driven almost all the Drill Bulls in this area away..."
"Are there any Leader Level ones?"
"No." The squad member shook his head. "After the last battle, the Legion Commanders wiped out most of the Drill Bulls at Fourth Order and above. There are some Multi-headed Pythons above Fourth Order in the mountains beyond the plain, but they rarely leave that area."
Zheng Yi knitted his brows. "Is there any way to lure the Multi-headed Pythons over?"
"Multi-headed Pythons feed on the giant insects in the mountains. Unless we can gather a large number of them..." Before the squad member could finish, Zheng Yi cut him off.
"Then go gather them! Lure all those giant pythons over to Chasing Wind Squad."
"Captain, collecting insects in the forest will take a lot of time."
Giant beetles lived in great numbers in the towering trees of the mountain forests. The largest were as big as a human head, and they were the Multi-headed Pythons' main food source.
But catching a large number of them would take a great deal of time and effort.
"Enough whining! Get moving." Zheng Yi's eyes were fierce.
No matter what, he was going to make Chasing Wind Squad pay.
The exploration squads were due to return to the station and switch shifts in just three days. He had to hurry and cause Gao Zhan trouble.
Meanwhile, five kilometers away, Lu Feng continued Absorb Energy from the Drill Bulls gathering around him.
He had no idea why the Drill Bulls had gathered there, let alone that they were a "gift" from Zheng Yi.
With the steady supply of energy, the acupoints in his body were being broken through one after another.
"Lu Feng, where are you? Is everything all right outside?" In the sentry post, Yang Qian finished cultivating and realized Lu Feng wasn't there, so he contacted him.
"Uncle Yang, I'm patrolling a few kilometers away. Everything's fine."
"Good."
Yang Qian didn't think much of it. He turned and went back into the sentry post to continue cultivating.
A few hours later, Hong Kun came out of the sentry post as well.
"Lu Feng! Where are you?"
"Uncle Hong! I'm patrolling a few kilometers away. Everything's fine!"
"Good!"
