Chapter 572: Chapter 572: Xu Yi, Worried by the Audience
Liu Li stayed in the camp because they hadn’t put the Star Chart with the vegetables into Bai Yu’s backpack yet. So, she waited for Bai Yu to wake up.
It wasn’t until after 4 in the afternoon that Bai Yu emerged from the cave.
Immediately, Liu Li stepped forward and placed the Star Chart into the backpack.
Then, she glanced at Bai Yu’s Star Chart.
Sure enough, there was meat from a level 5 peak Fierce Beast inside, so she took some out, so Bai Yu wouldn’t have to hunt for beasts herself.
After taking it out, Bai Yu grabbed it and tossed it to the Black Qilin.
Then, it barked at Liu Li.
Liu Li understood that Bai Yu wanted her to take out some more.
So, Liu Li took some more out.
After Bai Yu and the Black Qilin were full, Bai Yu barked a few more times and flew into the sky.
The Black Qilin and the Unicorn followed closely behind, also soaring into the sky.
Clearly, Bai Yu was planning to bring the Black Qilin and the Unicorn back to Lu Ke and the others.
Liu Li watched with a bit of envy and then left the meteorite crater, preparing to continue working.
With a little time before nightfall, she couldn’t waste it.
Because Bai Yu was carrying the Black Qilin and the Unicorn, it took 5 days to return to Lu Ke’s side.
When Lu Ke and her group saw the Black Qilin and the Unicorn, they were thoroughly shocked.
Although the Black Qilin and the Unicorn had changed, they recognized them at first glance.
"Unicorn, how did you find this place?" Su Yan rushed up, hugging the Unicorn and rubbing her face against its neck.
To Su Yan, the Unicorn was not just a mount; it was a companion.
The feeling of regaining what was lost was overwhelmingly joyful.
The Black Qilin glanced around but didn’t see Xu Yi and let out a sound.
It was clear it felt a bit down.
Wang Jin stepped forward in time, stroked the Black Qilin’s cheek, and said, "Xu Yi went to the territory of a level 6 Fierce Beast. He might come back someday. Don’t be sad."
Saying this, Wang Jin took out a Star Chart and placed it on the Black Qilin.
This way, it could enter the next challenge point.
"It turns out they joined those who were eliminated, then arrived at Base Alpha a few days ago," Lu Ke said, having taken the Star Chart from Bai Yu’s backpack and discovered a sealed letter inside.
The letter explained the situation of the Black Qilin and the Unicorn and briefly described the base’s situation.
"Now, there are only 16 days left until the 300th day. What should we do?" Lu Yao asked worriedly. If Bai Yu hadn’t returned, they wouldn’t have stopped cultivating either.
However, since they had stopped, she asked the question in passing.
Because she felt it was unlikely they could break through to level 5 peak in 16 days.
"Do our best; that’s all we can do," Qin Fan said, also knowing that breaking through to level 5 peak was difficult. The only one possibly capable was Lu Ke.
Even though they had been practicing the Spiritual Meditation Method, breaking through to level 5 peak suddenly wasn’t easy.
Unless something else could enhance their power.
Though such things don’t happen often.
Following Xu Yi, they’ve encountered it a few times. Other teams haven’t had such luck.
"Yeah, we can only continue cultivating like this. Sleeping once every three days, and only for three hours per time, is already quite tough. Now, we can only hope that the challenge points ahead start at a lower level, not immediately at level 6 Fierce Beast level," Qin Chao said with some anticipation. Now that they have practiced Shan Zhen, they have the strength to deal with level 5 peak Fierce Beasts.
If the Fierce Beasts at the next challenge point are level 5, they can continue the challenge.
Zhou Chun took out a cigarette, lit one, and said, "I wonder about Xu Yi, whether he’s broken through to level 6. If he can break through to level 6, combined with Shan Zhen’s power, maybe he can protect us among the level 6 Fierce Beasts. No matter if we break through this time or not, we must try to challenge the place after 300 days."
"Probably not. If Xu Yi broke through, he would have come back. Not returning probably means he hasn’t broken through yet. Besides, don’t be so disheartened, everyone. There’s still 16 days left; there’s still a chance. Alright, let’s focus on cultivating, do the part we can do, and leave the rest to fate," Wang Jin said, then returned to the junction point, sat down cross-legged, and quickly entered a cultivation state.
Now, all they can do is cultivate, continuously cultivate.
"Xu Yi indeed hasn’t broken through; he’s been in the tent for 5 days."
"Yeah, Xu Yi hasn’t shown any sign of activity. It’s really concerning."
"Isn’t it? It’s driving us crazy. Doesn’t Xu Yi worry that we’d be concerned?"
"Probably too much pressure, solely focused on breaking through to level 6, leaving no time to step out of the tent, right?"
In Lu Ke’s livestream room, many viewers were discussing Xu Yi’s situation.
Because ever since Xu Yi entered the tent that day, he hadn’t come out.
Note that the tracking ball can’t film inside the tent unless Xu Yi takes it in.
But how could Xu Yi possibly take the tracking ball inside?
Xu Yi had many secrets, secrets that must not be exposed.
During these 5 days, Xu Yi has been cultivating.
After 5 days, he mastered the Martial Technique Vibration and the Secret Technique: Bursting Flame.
However, Xu Yi hasn’t tried using Bursting Flame yet.
Xu Yi wouldn’t use this secret technique lightly.
Unless the Spirit Race had already left.
It took him just one day to learn Martial Technique Vibration, but 3 and a half days to learn Bursting Flame.
The remaining time was used to solidify Martial Technique Vibration.
So, during these 5 days, Xu Yi’s Spiritual Power did not increase.
However, he wasn’t anxious at all.
Anyway, the surroundings were very calm, with no appearance of level 6 Fierce Beasts.
After moving around to stretch a little, Xu Yi stepped out of the tent.
Not having appeared for 5 days, he figured it was time to go for a turn outside.
Now that he had an assistant clocking in for him, he no longer needed to clock in himself, which was much more convenient.
There were still over twenty days until the next reward pack.
By then, he would already be at the next challenge point.
However, it puzzled Xu Yi that the invisible tracking ball had disappeared recently.
Xu Yi had tried sensing it several times but found nothing, as if it had suddenly been withdrawn.
Such matters, Xu Yi naturally wouldn’t ask the Spirit Race. Other than playing dumb, there were no other options.
The tracking balls had been withdrawn by Ling Qi, as they needed to explore Planet No. 3.
Speaking of Planet No. 3, the Spirit Race now had quite a bit of information.
But their losses were also significant.
Initially, they had 12 scouting starships, but now 10 of them had been destroyed.
The fortunate part is that the Spirit Race inside the ships was unharmed, being transported away in time. Otherwise, the losses would have been even greater.
On Planet No. 3, there are Divine Masters and Mages, initially estimated to have powers exceeding level 15.
Thus, they could easily destroy the Spirit Race’s battleships.
One could say that the civilization on Planet No. 3 possessed the capability to eradicate the Spirit Race.
So, the Spirit Race withdrew from the interior of Planet No. 3 in a timely manner, continuing to gather intelligence in the outer space.
At the same time, they dispatched numerous invisible shot balls to try to gather more data.
