Chapter 466 Monsters Inside the Base

Whether they can even survive is a question, let alone how many can survive.

Lan Geng looked at the cultivators in the distance, then paused. There were twenty cultivators, but it seemed that eighteen were still left.

Only two died?

Lan Gengzhong had already prepared for the complete annihilation of his entire crew.

After all, she had to fight against dozens of teammates to kill just one of the five S-class monsters when she was in the Nascent Soul stage.

During the academy competition, Lan Gengzhong didn't kill many S-class monsters. It wasn't until he reached the Nascent Soul stage and arrived at the Black Nest that Lan Gengzhong's combat ability gradually improved.

She remembered that most of the cultivators who asked for help were first-year students from Wanjue Academy. Logically speaking, they shouldn't have encountered too many S-class demons outside of the academy and secret realms.

Lan Geng felt more doubt than shock.

She had to fight each of the five Black-Eyed Demon Lizards for a while, and now about four hours had passed. Had the five Black-Eyed Demon Lizards gone into hiding?

She jumped off the flying vehicle, carrying not only a sword but also many other weapons.

Lan Geng, still dressed in his combat uniform, looked at the cultivators lying sprawled on the ground, his tone heavy. Quite a few cultivators were seriously injured.

Lan Gengzhong first saw Jiang He and Bai Zhizhou. Their composed demeanor on the starship had left a strong impression on her. She remembered that Jiang He was the captain of this team.

"What is the situation of the cultivators on the ground?"

After finishing the last paragraph, Jiang He said, "Thankfully, I wasn't seriously injured. I was just too tired and fell asleep."

"Okay, put them all on stretchers... Wait, what did you say?"

Jiang He: "I was so tired I fainted, but it's nothing serious."

Lan Gengzhong silently withdrew her words, and tentatively began to speak:

"Is there a record of the approximate location of the five black-eyed lizards when they escaped?"

Jiang He shook her head:

"No, they're all dead. The bodies have been collected."

Jiang He took out a mustard seed bag.

After listening to the whole thing, Lan Geng remained silent for a short while.

She must have heard correctly.

In four hours, all five S-class Black-Eyed Demon Lizards were wiped out.

Lan Geng examined the corpse and crystal core inside the mustard seed bag again and felt that it was somewhat magical.

Apart from the two dead cultivators, everyone else is alive and well. Just now, Lan Geng went over to check their breathing and found that they had indeed fainted from exhaustion rather than being seriously injured.

Lan Geng was so unaware of the entire battle that he now realized there were quite a few powerful cultivators in the group.

Thinking of Bai Zhizhou and Jiang He, Lan Gengzhong suddenly realized that he wasn't so surprised after all.

Within her sight, Lan Geng also discovered the magical artifact on Long Aotian's body. Even before it was drawn, she knew that the sword was of a high level.

Jiang He had recovered by now, and her pale face had regained some color. She looked longingly at the mustard seed pouch in Lan Geng's hand.

Speaking of which, will the S-grade crystal cores also have to be handed over? She can get quite a share of these five monster corpses and crystal cores. If they are confiscated, there will be less fertilizer in her space.

Jiang He never forgot her purpose in coming to the Black Nest.

Lan Gengzhong almost forgot about the mustard seed pouch in her hand, as she was focused on reviewing the battle in which twenty Nascent Soul cultivators killed the Black-Eyed Demon Lizard.

Jiang He's face was expressionless, but her gaze was like a laser beam.

Jiang He's gaze was so intense that it was hard not to notice her.

Lan Geng turned his head again:

You seem to have something to say.

Jiang He nodded: "Do we need to hand over the monster corpses and crystal cores we killed this time?"

When Lan Geng heard the question again, he paused for a second. The point wasn't that, was it? Shouldn't he be explaining to her how those five S-class monsters died?

"Small battles do not require the surrender of spoils."

After Lan Geng finished speaking, Jiang He gently took the mustard seed bag from his hand.

Before Lan Gengzhong could react, the mustard seed bag in his hand fell into Jiang He's hand.

Okay, okay, she probably understands now. Jiang He in front of her is obsessed with the crystal cores of S-class monsters.

That's normal. S-rank monster cores are rare, so only Black Nest has a large number of monsters.

Lan Gengzhong led the remaining cultivators to the base in a spaceship.

The appearance of monster caves on the planet, and the attack on Jiang He and others, is most likely due to this variable.

If Jiang He and his group were unlucky enough to encounter an S-rank monster, it also means that many other monsters may have escaped from other places. Their ranks are currently unknown, but they are at least S-rank or higher.

Further deduction suggests that spatial-type monsters exist within the cave.

Lan Geng frowned again:

"Conduct a thorough search to find the escaped S-class monster, and at the same time inform the Yangzhou military to be alert to intrusions into the secret realm."

Lan Gengzhong kept tapping the hilt of his sword. The demons were fleeing, and if they included space-type demons, the closest planet they could reach was Kunlun Star, which is Yangzhou.

If the monsters invade and cause an invasion of the secret realm, then we're doomed.

S-rank monsters are extremely prone to causing area-of-effect damage. If the monster is of the burst type and happens to be in a residential area, the consequences could be disastrous.

Lan Gengzhong couldn't help but feel worried about the dangers facing Yangzhou.

It can be controlled; the only issue is the extent of the casualties.

Lan Geng focused his thoughts back on the base. Most of the cultivators had left, leaving only a few hundred to guard the base.

The position of base commander fell to Lan Gengzhong, as she had limited manpower available.

Lan Gengzhong was always cautious, and she decided to search the base one more time.

-

"Five S-class monsters, and they're still alive? You guys are incredibly lucky!"

"What do you mean by 'lucky break'? Can you speak more politely? It's not about luck; it's about skill. And you have no idea how amazing our captain is."

"Captain? Jiang He?"

"I recorded it, you'll see. If it weren't for Jiang He's command, we would have been wiped out. This is my first time encountering an S-class monster. At first, I was so scared that I couldn't even lift my sword."

"It's only natural for people to be curious. I was actually wondering how you managed to fight five S-rank monsters with only twenty-odd people."

"Anyway, I'm back alive, hehe. After this battle, I'll even get a venom sac from the Black-Eyed Demon Lizard..."

Several people were chatting inside the base when the alarm suddenly went off.

The two cultivators exchanged glances, both showing surprise in their eyes:

"There are monsters in the base!"

The base has set up a variety of alarm sounds, which are distinguished according to their type. The academy monks memorized all the alarm types during their military training before arriving at the Fifth Army.

The continuous wailing alarm was the signal that monsters had invaded the base.

Moreover, the monsters are not outside the base, they are inside the base!
