Badun, as Expected

It only took Zhang Xuezhou and his group twenty hours to reach the snake cave, but their return journey took nearly twenty-six hours.

They set off at 5 a. m. and arrived at the temporary port at 7 a. m. the next day.

The sun shone brightly on the sea, causing its surface to shimmer and sparkle.

"I've already arranged for a shuttle ship to pick us up. This trip is specifically to the Aomeijia Alliance, and then we'll charter a private plane to airlift us back!"

Ren Yisheng wiped his mouth; his eyes were slightly bloodshot from driving all night, but he was mostly excited.

The roar of a tiger has the vibration of sound waves, the destructive power of special ultrasonic waves, and an extremely powerful aura of tiger might.

The latter is fine; Ren Yisheng could withstand it without any problems. The former, however, would cause the body to feel as if it had been struck by a heavy blow.

If he hadn't been carrying this heavy load of goods and hadn't encountered Hu Yu alone, he might have been eager to see just how strong Hu Yu was without Ding Kui.

But with a golden lion following Hu Yu, Ren Yisheng had no idea what to do.

He did not even activate the protective layer when he was hit, thus absorbing a certain amount of impact.

Of course, Ren Yisheng's cooperation stemmed more from observing Zhang Xuezhou's reaction in the rearview mirror.

Zhang Xuezhou was too quick to discern whether to seek good fortune or avoid misfortune.

Although Ren Yisheng and Zhang Xuezhou had collaborated many times, he had never seen Zhang Xuezhou play such a bold and skillful act of feigning death.

As if he had done it many times before, and as if he was certain he could handle Hu Yu, Zhang Xuezhou's movements were too practiced.

Even before being caught, Zhang Xuezhou continuously cast spells, sealing the many items he had obtained from the snake cave in mud and rocks, and had everyone wash away the snake feces that had stained them, thus directly severing his connection with the snake cave.

"You can arrange everything from now on!"

Zhang Xuezhou wiped his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.

If the development of the R-series catalyst doesn't progress quickly enough, it will be difficult for him to enter the Seventh Sequence in the short term. Zhang Xuezhou will then have to consider pushing his physical body skills up as much as possible to avoid the embarrassment of encountering such opponents in the future.

Many evasion techniques are defensive Technique Method or rely on the power of heaven and earth, but only physical techniques can withstand a direct confrontation with an opponent.

The ability to enhance the body's resistance to blows through physical techniques does not come out of thin air. It either requires years of arduous training or the use of truly powerful medicines and heavenly materials and earthly treasures to trigger a qualitative change in the body.

The cultivation methods involved are similar to the techniques of evasion, but the techniques of evasion guide Law Power, similar to a state of Technique Method guidance, while the physical techniques require real strengthening of resistance capabilities.

Zhang Xuezhou has always pursued a shortcut to success, but he is also hampered by resource constraints.

This is probably the time when he has the most abundant cultivation resources in his life. Regardless of whether he can succeed, he wants to give it a try.

After wandering around Qin Meng for about ten days, he obviously didn't have time to take the next step and could only wait for the next cycle to take effect.

With so many things needing to be cleaned up by Ren Yisheng, Zhang Xuezhou sighed and couldn't help but think of himself collapsing in Shanglin Garden, feeling awkward and embarrassed about his recent situation.

Ultimately, the issues that arose after he traveled such a long distance required time to resolve, and the twelve-day period made it difficult for him to handle everything properly.

He needs to be more efficient so he can break free from this hectic state.

"I wonder how Badun is doing now?" Ren Yisheng murmured.

"Speaking of His Excellency Badun..."

Zhang Xuezhou pondered Hu Yu's words, but for a moment he couldn't be sure whether Badun was a dwarf from the Celestial Craftsmen Clan.

However, it's still necessary to communicate what needs to be said, lest Badun inadvertently betray us in our interactions.

He and Ren Yisheng whispered to each other, and as they talked, Ren Yisheng was somewhat astonished, feeling that nowhere was a good place.

Of course, if Zhang Xuezhou's speculation is confirmed, Ren Yisheng cannot say that Badun is necessarily bad, since they have also recruited Xu Lu.

Ultimately, the speed and depth of development are limited by clinging to outdated ideas.

Even if Ren Yisheng to enter the Eighth Sequence, one would still have to interact with these alien life forms. How to deal with these alien life forms, and how to develop through them to form Body Transformation belonging to the Scarlet Alliance State, are the pressing issues at present.

These things cannot be avoided simply by Ren Yisheng resisting or turning a blind eye. He felt that the whole world was like a giant sieve; the culture and civilization brought by the fire meteor creatures would exist, but it would inevitably be accompanied by disasters.

Only by becoming as strong as possible can they withstand wave after wave of attacks.

This requires the leadership of elites and the continuous efforts of generations to move forward, rather than being confined to self-interest and selfish pursuits.

Human greed is unavoidable, and even Ren Yisheng himself cannot overcome it, but he hopes to give outstanding young people a chance.

The situations involving Badun, Huyu, and Xulu intensified Ren Yisheng's sense of crisis. He even had to elevate his perspective slightly, extending his influence beyond his own Lineage and gradually diminishing his past thoughts of using his influence to control Zhang Xuezhou.

This led Ren Yisheng to share many casual thoughts with Zhang Xuezhou.

"The ship is here!"

Ren Yisheng only stopped their private conversation when the shuttle boat broke through the waves.

Communication in the Qinmeng area is extremely poor. Even though Ren Yisheng's communication was at the highest priority level, the arrival time of the shuttle boat was much later than Ren Yisheng had scheduled.

The only saving grace was that nothing unexpected happened in the port area.

"Professor Ren, Professor Zhang!"

Zhang Xuezhou and his team unloaded and sealed the cargo, packing all the heavy items into the shipping container. Only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

Ren Yisheng chartered the boat directly, and the shuttle boat did not stop or linger in the port.

With a simple blast of its horn, the shuttle ship had already departed the Qinmeng sea area.

It wasn't until they were transferred to a chartered flight from the Aomeijia Alliance that Zhang Xuezhou and his group encountered some minor mishaps.

"Clark!"

Ren Yisheng narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the extremely dangerous woman in front of him.

Montes Clark is the undisputed number one among contemporary women, and currently the only woman to have entered the Seventh Sequence.

Whether it's real strength or good luck while hunting ferocious beasts, Montes Clark has already taken the lead.

The other person was extremely tall, half a head taller than Ren Yisheng, giving off a strong sense of pressure. Even Ren Yisheng did not underestimate the other person, after all, his strength was not overwhelming that of the Seventh Sequence, and he did not want to encounter any accidents on his way back home.

"I heard that Professor Ren chartered an Airbus back to China, so I came here specifically to seek his advice!"

Montes Clark hesitated for a moment, then finally opened his mouth and asked politely.

"Oh?" Ren Yisheng asked, puzzled.

"I'd like to ask Professor Ren and Professor Zhang, did you encounter any powerful ferocious beasts when you were hunting with Lord Badun?" Montes Clark asked.

"What's wrong?" Ren Yisheng asked in surprise, "What happened?"

"His Excellency Badun has always been in good health, but he fell ill after returning home a few days ago. He has been receiving treatment for two days now, but he still cannot even communicate normally," Montes Clark said. "I would like to ask Professor Ren if he knows the reason?"

"You shouldn't be asking us about this. He just abandoned us and ran off. He has absolutely no team spirit! Humph!"

Ren Yisheng's heart skipped a beat. He quickly adopted a cold demeanor to assume the moral high ground and thus refused to give up Montes Clark's entanglement.

Compared to Zhang Xuezhou's support, Badun was clearly inferior.

After falling ill, Zhang Xuezhou successfully saved himself with the help of Qin Meng's secret stone and fire crystal, while Badun inevitably suffered.

He felt that Zhang Xuezhou's decisive act of giving up Dingkui was wise, while Badun's inability to resist his greed led him into this big trouble.
