Chapter 88: A Good Harvest, The Liu Family is Shaken!
After a short while, all the escaping members of the Di family perished under the blue handprints!
"Take their Qiankun Bags."
Lin Fan casually collected the Qiankun Bags of Di Teng and his son, as well as their spiritual treasures, and spoke to Lin Dong and Qing Tan who were nearby.
Qing Tan and Lin Dong nodded in acknowledgment before stepping forward to loot the Qiankun Bags of the others.
In no time, the three of them had gathered all the Qiankun Bags.
After inspecting them, Lin Fan found that the total number of Pure Yuan Pills amounted to 130,000!
Additionally, there were some spiritual herbs and rare materials used for crafting spiritual treasures.
"Not bad!"
After finishing the count, Lin Fan felt slightly satisfied.
"I suddenly remembered, there seems to be a Thunder Source Crystal Beast nearby. If we manage to kill it and refine its Thunder Source, it will be quite helpful to our strength. Let's go take a look."
After cleaning up the battlefield, Lin Fan said to Qing Tan and Lin Dong.
"Mm."
Lin Fan had once told Qing Tan and Lin Dong that he seemed to have memories from another life. Therefore, when they heard Lin Fan's words, they weren't particularly surprised.
At this moment, the little sable jumped onto Lin Dong's shoulder and curiously asked, "Have you been here before? How do you know there's a Thunder Source Crystal Beast nearby?"
Lin Fan smiled faintly and replied, "I have my own methods."
They hadn't told the little sable about the fabricated memories of Lin Fan's past life yet.
"You're so mysterious. I can't even be bothered to ask," the little sable swiped its paw, looking indifferent.
Lin Fan smiled without responding to the little sable's words.
Qing Tan and Lin Dong also chose not to answer.
The little sable, bored, returned to the Stone Rune Space.
Then, Lin Fan and Qing Tan rode on Fire Er, and Lin Dong rode on Xiao Yan, using their full mental strength to search for the Thunder Source Crystal Beast.
The three of them, along with the two beasts, traversed through the mountains and forests. Before they found the Thunder Source Crystal Beast, they encountered a group of people with strength similar to that of the Di family.
From their conversation, they learned that these people were from another major family of Dayang County, the Liu family!
The Liu family had ventured deep into the mountains and forests, also after the Thunder Source Crystal Beast!
"It seems that the Liu family must know the location of the Thunder Source Crystal Beast. Let's quietly follow them so we don't waste mental energy searching," Lin Fan whispered to Lin Dong and Qing Tan after hearing this news.
Lin Dong nodded slightly. "Brother Lin Fan is right. Following them might allow us to take advantage of the situation."
"Hehe, exactly," Lin Fan smiled when he heard Lin Dong, and said.
Qing Tan, of course, had no objections.
The three of them followed the Liu family's group for another two days and finally found traces of the Thunder Source Crystal Beast.
Or rather, they discovered the living area of the Thunder Source Crystal Beast.
Not far ahead of the Liu family's group, a steep mountain peak stood tall.
The peak had a faint silver sheen at its top.
However, both Lin Fan and Lin Dong could sense that the silver light was actually a flowing electric aura.
Moreover, within the mountain, they felt a violent, thunder-like aura.
"The Thunder Source Crystal Beast should be inside that mountain, right? The aura seems powerful and somewhat frightening!" Lin Dong said worriedly after sensing the movement in the mountain.
Lin Fan nodded slightly and said, "From the aura of the Thunder Source Crystal Beast, it seems to be at the peak of the Qi Gathering realm. But its aura is unstable, which means it's probably about to break through."
"This… At the peak of the Qi Gathering realm, after the breakthrough, wouldn't it be comparable to someone at the Transforming Vitality realm? Together, we wouldn't be its opponent!" Lin Dong's expression slightly changed, his voice filled with concern.
"Uncultured," the little sable couldn't help but jump out, mocking Lin Dong. It then added, "The Thunder Source Crystal Beast goes through a period of weakness every time it breaks through. This is the best time to act. Otherwise, do you think the Di family and the Liu family would dare to target the Thunder Source Crystal Beast?"
"Hehe, the little sable is right. So, there's no need for us to be nervous," Lin Fan chuckled lightly after hearing the little sable's words, "Moreover, we have a high-grade talisman puppet. Even if it doesn't have a weak period, there's nothing to worry about. Of course, it's better to save some Pure Yuan Pills if we can."
After hearing the words of the little sable and Lin Fan, Lin Dong scratched his head. "I forgot. I don't know when the Thunder Source Crystal Beast will break through."
The little sable waved its paws a couple of times, looking mysterious, and said, "Not more than two days."
"Hey, two days? That's not long," Lin Dong said with a faint smile upon hearing that.
"We'll wait here. After two days, when the Liu family and the Thunder Source Crystal Beast fight, we'll make our move to seize the Thunder Source."
Lin Fan calmly said, looking towards the direction of the Liu family's group.
For the next two days, Lin Fan, Qing Tan, and Lin Dong remained where they were, waiting for the Thunder Source Crystal Beast to break through.
...
In the northwest of Lin Fan and the others, a group of tents stood tall.
Many figures moved about inside, and occasionally, scout-like figures would come from the forest, darting into the central large tent.
This tent housed the head of the Liu family, Liu Kui.
Aside from Liu Kui, there were also several powerful experts from the Liu family inside.
"Head of the family, we found the bodies of the Di family's large group in the forest! There's even the body of the Di family's head, Di Teng!"
A scout was respectfully reporting to Liu Kui in the tent.
"What? Are you serious?"
Upon hearing the scout's words, Liu Kui immediately turned pale and stood up in shock.
The Di family and the Liu family were both major families in Dayang County, and they were quite familiar with each other's strength.
The head of the Di family, Di Teng, was at the same cultivation level as him, the small success of the Shaping Qi realm, making him one of the stronger experts in Dayang County.
Moreover, since Di Teng had come after the Thunder Source Crystal Beast, he would definitely have brought many of the Di family's powerful experts. Their overall strength would not be weaker than the Liu family's!
If a group as strong as the Liu family had been completely wiped out in the mountains and forests, it would mean that the Liu family was now facing the risk of total annihilation!
Not only did Liu Kui's face turn pale, but several of the Liu family's experts at the peak of the Yuan Dan realm also changed color, showing signs of concern.
The scout respectfully said, "Several of my brothers saw it, and I would never deceive the family head."
Liu Kui mumbled, "The one who completely wiped out Di Teng and his men must be far stronger than Di Teng, at least a small success in the Qi Gathering realm. Otherwise, Di Teng wouldn't have been unable to escape."
"Head of the family, what should we do now?" A powerful Liu family expert beside him asked with a serious expression.
Liu Kui took a deep breath and said sternly, "Order everyone to clear all the beasts around Thunder Source Mountain, and fully investigate the surroundings to ensure no one is hiding in the dark."
"In two days, the Thunder Source Crystal Beast should break through. We'll make a quick move, seize the Thunder Source, and immediately retreat!"
Having prepared for so long, Liu Kui was unwilling to give up now that the Thunder Source was so close at hand.
He could only pray in his heart that the powerful being who killed the Di family was just passing by and had already left.
"Yes!"
The Liu family members inside the tent immediately responded respectfully after hearing Liu Kui's words.
While the Liu family was being cautious and on high alert, two days quickly passed.
During these two days, Lin Fan, Qing Tan, and Lin Dong had a rather peaceful time and had not been discovered by the Liu family's scouts.
In the tedium of waiting, the most crucial moment finally arrived quietly!
