Ripples appeared in the space, and Qin Ze saw a familiar figure emerge from them.
The visitor was none other than the Grand Consul.
The Grand Consul landed in front of Qin Ze and immediately frowned upon seeing his condition.
"Have you overdrawn your Source of Life?"
"The squeaky wheel gets the grease," Qin Ze thought, a wry smile immediately appearing on his face.
"Two SS-class alien beasts and two S-class alien beasts, we can't defeat them without going all out."
The Grand Consul turned his head and saw the mangled corpse of the giant octopus.
He immediately flipped his wrist, and Source Crystal the size of an adult's fist appeared in his palm.
The Source Crystal of extremely high purity, at least equivalent to the three that Lao Dao had before.
The Grand Consul handed over the Source Crystal, instructing, "Although the Source of Life can be replenished with Source Crystal, it is a long process."
"Furthermore, each time you overdraw your resources, the upper limit of your Source of Life will decrease."
Qin Ze happily accepted the Source Crystal, nodded, and said, "I understand, I'll be more careful next time."
The Grand Consul looked around and saw the corpses of clones and strange beasts everywhere, almost none of them intact, which was enough to show how fierce the battle was.
The remaining beasts on the battlefield are retreating; without the command of the advanced beasts, they are nothing more than a disorganized mob.
The exhausted clones knew when to stop and plopped down on the ground to rest.
" The Saber King told me about you, and I came to check on you out of concern."
As he spoke, the Grand Consul extended his right hand, and a silver spear flew back from the corpse of the diseased beast, bringing with it a dark green Soul Orb.
Qin Ze's eyes lit up, and he almost drooled.
The Grand Consul didn't even glance at it before tossing it directly to Qin Ze.
Qin Ze held the Soul Orb in his palm, feeling a slightly cool sensation.
"For me?"
The Grand Consul shook his head. "It's not for you, it's what you deserve."
" The Tide is receding in Penglai City; I will have people from Penglai City take over here."
"For the next few months, this place will be a battlefield."
The Grand Consul truly lives up to his reputation as the pinnacle of Human Race combat power.
He saw through the mystery of the New Land place at a glance and immediately understood the reason why the Tide in Penglai City had suddenly appeared and disappeared.
As the Grand Consul said, although the beasts were defeated this time, they will not give up this New Land, after all, the New Land is capable of nurturing millions of beasts.
The Human Race, too, will not stand idly by.
Both sides are aware of the existence of the New Land, and the upcoming battle will only shift from covert to overt.
"This is New Land..."
Qin Ze then recounted to the Grand Consul all the information he knew about the New Land.
The Grand Consul nodded after listening. "I will have people keep an eye on the areas further out from Penglai City to see if any other New Land have appeared."
It's not just Penglai City; almost every Outpost City in the Abyss in every world is like this, only caring about its own little corner of the world.
After all, Qin Ze only obtained information about the New Land from the diary of the Desolate God.
This New Land appeared around Penglai City, but it was very well hidden by the giant octopus.
If Qin Ze hadn't followed the clues and found this place, Penglai City probably wouldn't have discovered it even after the strange beasts in the New Land had fully matured.
Penglai City is like this, then the Outpost City in other worlds are even more so.
"This strange beast doesn't have Soul Orb."
Qin Ze pointed to the giant octopus's corpse.
The Grand Consul stepped forward and fired several shots to completely dissect the body, but found nothing.
"This strange beast is an old friend."
"It first appeared around Penglai City four years ago, and has been visible at every Tide ever since."
" Penglai City has organized several Advanced Martial Artist to besiege and suppress it."
"But it was as slippery as an eel, always managing to escape, and today it died at your hands."
"You've done a great job, what reward do you want?"
Qin Ze was secretly delighted.
Is this for real?
"Would Soul Orb?"
The Grand Consul said, " S-Rank Soul Orb are not easy to find."
"S-class alien beasts are too difficult to kill; they rarely clash head-on with our warriors like they do today."
"There's definitely no Law Enforcement involved, but I can go to the Military Department's warehouse and check for you."
Qin Ze felt as if a pie had been thrown in his face.
What a bumper harvest! What a bumper harvest!
What he meant earlier was actually a regular Soul Orb.
Qin Ze sighed, "No S-rank... then a regular Soul Orb will do."
The Grand Consul was taken aback, not expecting Qin Ze's demands to be so low.
How much do you want?
Qin Ze tentatively held up one finger. "Ten thousand?"
The Grand Consul nodded. "Wait for my news in Penglai City for the next couple of days."
Seeing that the Grand Consul agreed so readily, Qin Ze slapped his thigh in regret, wishing he had asked for 100,000.
The Grand Consul then explained, " Soul Orb are consumables in Penglai City. Although we kill many strange beasts every day, the soldiers use a lot of them, and we also have to supply Wu Da and the warriors on the ground."
"However, having just repelled the Tide, they should have at least ten thousand Soul Orb."
"The purification process will take three days; I'll have them expedite it."
Qin Ze waved his hand. "No need for purification, I just want the original one."
The Grand Consul glanced at Brother Devour and his group in the distance and nodded.
"This strange beast without Soul Orb is not its true form."
"It's highly likely that behind it is an SSS-level alien beast, or an existence of even higher rank."
Qin Ze couldn't help but sigh inwardly, realizing that heroes truly do appreciate each other, and that the Grand Consul shared the same thoughts as him.
The Grand Consul said in a deep voice, "I will take charge of the investigation. You just go about your business."
When I arrived, Penglai City was sending an advance force here.
"The time is almost up. They'll take care of cleaning up the battlefield. You should send your men to retreat first."
Qin Ze replied, "We'll head back to Penglai City now."
After giving his instructions to Qin Ze, the Grand Consul disappeared into the spatial ripples.
They came in a hurry, and they left in a hurry.
Qin Ze gripped the Source Crystal and took two deep breaths, finally feeling less soreness in his lower back and knees.
There wasn't enough time to extract the Soul Orb, so the clones gathered the severely injured and deceased old beings together and ignited them with a wisp of blue flame.
"How can we say we have no clothes? We will share our garments with you."
"Go on, my sons, your father will miss you."
"I'm not dead yet! Can you turn the fire up a bit? How long will this little fire last?"
Is it warm?
"It's alright, why don't you come in and lie down for a bit?"
"I'll definitely do it next time."
"..."
Soon, the old folks burned everything to the ground, leaving nothing behind.
After Qin Ze finished retrieving his clone and prepared to leave, a transport airship slowly landed.
As the hatch opened, squads of fully armed soldiers quickly emerged and took their positions.
The martial arts instructors immediately began moving sand and stones to construct defensive structures on site.
The soldiers split into two groups: one group cleaned up the battlefield, and the other group destroyed the alien beast eggs.
Among the soldiers' busy figures, Qin Ze spotted a professional team.
Noticing Qin Ze's gaze, Lu Tongtong happened to turn her head and look over.
