CHAPTER 251: CHAPTER 205: THE CORRECT STRATEGY FOR ADVANCED OUTDOOR DUNGEONS (COMBINED PARTS)

Death Valley.

A large number of Aymonian miners wearing Ten Thousand Stars City’s miner uniforms descended from the large transport trucks. In less than a minute, more than two thousand had gathered in front of the valley.

Most of these two thousand Aymonian miners were at an apprentice level. Under the command of over two hundred Ten Thousand Stars City Defense Corps members, they orderly picked up their tools and began heading into the mountain.

"Lord Lucis, the life detector indicates there are people on this mountain."

A captain of the Aymonian miners, clad in B6 level battle armor, towering nearly four meters with four arms and four eyes, respectfully reported to an Aymonian male whose height was only two meters and whose entire skin was a red hue.

The red-skinned Aymonian man looked directly up the mountain where Fang Zhen and Crazy Xiaoyuan were hiding. Despite the nearly one-kilometer distance between them, Fang Zhen and Crazy Xiaoyuan, hidden in the forest, felt exposed, as though they were standing right in front of the Aymonian man with nowhere to hide.

"This Aymonian is so strong!" Crazy Xiaoyuan looked at Lucis below the mountain and felt a warning of death signal in her brain just from their eye contact.

"This feeling, this Aymonian is likely in the Bone Forging Realm." Fang Zhen looked at Lucis, also feeling a substantial pressure—a mere glance felt like being targeted by a monster close at hand.

Without giving Fang Zhen and Crazy Xiaoyuan time to recover from the oppressive sensation, Lucis below the mountain casually picked up a long spear made of green bones and hurled it toward the mountain.

Boom!

The sound of the bone spear slicing through the air reverberated, and at the same time, Crazy Xiaoyuan and Fang Zhen saw a green light shooting toward them less than a hundred meters away.

"Can they attack from so far away?"

Fang Zhen and Crazy Xiaoyuan were startled seeing the incoming green bone spear.

Even with a B2 level composite heavy bow, they couldn’t shoot such a distance so quickly, let alone throw a spear weighing at least a hundred kilograms.

Facing this supersonic precision throw, Fang Zhen and Crazy Xiaoyuan reacted quickly, taking up their B2 level alloy shovels to jointly attack the incoming green bone spear.

Reversed Star Hand First Layer: Star Rotation!

Cloud Mist Hand First Layer: Thousand Changes!

With Fang Zhen’s combined Strength and BUFF enhancements, his strength reached 2000 kilograms. The fourfold power boost of the Reversed Star Hand made the strength of the swinging alloy shovel reach ten tons, and although Crazy Xiaoyuan’s strike didn’t reach ten tons, it was over eight tons. Their combined power, despite some loss, still amounted to around fourteen tons.

Boom!

The moment the bone spear and the alloy shovels collided, the two alloy shovels were pierced through. The immense force was like a mountain, directly pressing down on Fang Zhen and Crazy Xiaoyuan. The fourteen tons of power seemed futile as the bone spear passed through the middle of Fang Zhen and Crazy Xiaoyuan without hindrance.

As the bone spear passed, Fang Zhen and Crazy Xiaoyuan felt as if they had been struck by a truck, their entire bodies flung over a hundred meters away, breaking tree after tree, immediately logging off halfway through.

As for the green bone spear, it struck the mountainside, blasting out a crater with a radius of over thirty meters.

"Lord Lucis, those two have been identified; they should be martial artists from the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall of Chasing Light City." The Defense Corps captain ran to report, holding the green bone spear.

"The Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall that plans to establish a town at Red Moon Mountain?" Lucis, sitting in the transport truck, took the spear and inquired.

"It should be them." The Defense Corps captain nodded.

"Looks like I helped Igor and the others a bit." Lucis shrugged it off as nothing. "Alright, continue your work. This Secret Silver Ore must be mined as soon as possible. Right now, other cities are consuming a significant amount of battle armor above B4 level to counter those monsters. The procurement prices for battle armor above B4 level have risen significantly among the cities. Ten Thousand Stars City can’t let go of this opportunity."

"Lord Lucis, people from the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall have died here. These were two martial artists. They’ll definitely send someone to investigate later. If the Hall Master of the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall comes, how should we respond?" The Defense Corps captain cautiously asked.

Though Lucis had only recently joined the Defense Corps of Ten Thousand Stars City, he was one of the top ten graduates from the Genius Training Camp this year, with the potential to compete for the position of Defense Corps leader in the future. Normally uninhibited in his actions in Ten Thousand Stars City, as subordinates, they had to consider many things.

Martial artists are important to any faction, especially a faction like the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall that has just entered the city’s elite circle. The sudden death of two will certainly prompt a reckoning from them.

If it were just martial artists in the Refining Organ Realm, it wouldn’t be too concerning, but if the Hall Master on the level of Bone Forging Realm comes in person, it could spell trouble for captains of only the high-tier martial artist level like them.

"That newly advanced Bone Forging Realm from Chasing Light City?" Lucis couldn’t help but chuckle. "Does he dare to seek trouble with me? It’s good enough that Igor hasn’t gone after him. Does he really think he can establish a town whenever he wants? Does he think he’s a City Lord? If he really does come, I’ll personally give him an answer."

"Yes," the Defense Corps captain bowed and left.

With Lucis’s assurance, their subordinates felt reassured.

Meanwhile, on Blue Star.

"Is this the power of the Bone Forging Realm?"
