Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 93 Danger
"Why have so many monsters suddenly increased?!"

Ji Fuyou retreated silently.

Skeleton monsters have an average physical strength of 25 points!
Despite its significant weaknesses of being vulnerable to fire and soul flames, it also has the advantage of greatly reducing mental attacks.

Facing five skeleton monsters alone, Ji Fuyou had absolutely no chance of fighting them.

He quickly retreated, heading towards the location of skeleton number 4.

However, before he could even get close to the location of the No. 4 skeleton, a chill began to creep up on him.

A warning to the spirit!

It seemed to be telling him that something terrible was happening over there, and that if he went there rashly, he would be in mortal danger.

"We can't continue."

The seasonal floaters quickly changed direction.

The three levels of Huanglong Cave have changed.

His previous familiarity with the three levels of Huanglong Cave was completely shattered by these variables.

Having lost this advantage, he was in an extremely unfavorable situation, being all alone.

Furthermore, considering the skeleton monsters' resistance to mental magic...

"go!"

One blue spiritual source crystal, one blue physical source crystal, and one inheritance crystal.

Add another white spirit source crystal and a white physical source crystal...

The gains have been substantial enough.

You must learn to control your desires.

Ji Fuyou turned around immediately and sped towards the second floor of Huanglong Cave.

Even when he ran to the second level of Huanglong Cave, he encountered far more skeleton monsters than in his dream.

Monsters poured out of the mist in an endless stream, as if forming a monster tidal wave.

Such a dense concentration of monsters, once discovered and triggering a battle, will only attract more monsters until they are completely surrounded and killed.

Fortunately, as Ji Fuyou gradually moved away from the third layer, the number of monsters also decreased.

At this moment, the mental fluctuations he constantly generated seemed to sense something.

A team of 6 people.

When Ji Fuyou sensed these people, the man leading them also sensed him.

He quickly and solemnly addressed the direction of Ji Fuyou, saying, "Greetings, Yang Kaitai. My master is Hong Tianwen. May I ask which professor is here? Please forgive any offense we may have committed. We will depart now."

“Hong Tianwen.”

The top mentally gifted individual in the Chuzhou military.

Considering that more and more skeletons are emerging from the depths of the mist, it is estimated that the impact will soon spread to the second and first levels of Huanglong Cave. Given that Yang Kaitai has an extraordinary background, his information channels must also be extraordinary.

To prevent too many spiritual beings and martial artists in Chuzhou from being injured by the surging skeletal monsters and thus weakening their overall strength, Ji Fuyou transmitted the message through mental resonance: "This fog is extraordinary. There are far more monsters than in other areas. You should notify everyone as soon as possible to leave this fog."

After saying that, he didn't meet these people and disappeared directly from Yang Kaitai's mental perception.

After his mental fluctuations completely subsided, another senior-level mental ability user in the group couldn't help but ask, "Are they gone?"

"Ah."

Yang Kaitai responded.

"A professor? A full professor? Who is it?"

A middle-aged man in the group said in a deep voice.

"I don't know. The mental fluctuations are unfamiliar, and they don't even belong to any of the associate senior mental ability users I know."

Yang Kaitai pondered for a moment: "However, his mental fluctuations seem somewhat familiar..."

At this point, he seemed to remember something: "Oh right? We think we ran into him about ten days ago!"

"More than ten days? Has this person not left Huanglong Cave for more than ten days? That's too dedicated."

"That deputy senior-level psychic couldn't help but say."

"If he really hasn't left Huanglong Cave for more than ten days... then what he said might be true."

Yang Kaitai's expression gradually turned serious.

"What did he say?"

"That's what the middle-aged man said."

"This fog is dangerous!"

Yang Kaitai glanced ahead: "For such a powerful psychic to describe something as dangerous..."

He made a quick decision: "Retreat first! Also, inform the surrounding squads to be on high alert and observe the situation before making any further moves!"

"retreat?"

The other person hesitated: "This fog seems to have just appeared... there might be something good inside..."

"There will also be unknown dangers."

The middle-aged man agreed with Yang Kaitai's statement: "To be on the safe side, let's retreat first and then explore step by step!"

Yang Kaitai nodded.

At the same time, he secretly glanced in the direction Ji Fuyou had left.

I feel a little curious.

The circle of spiritually capable people is only so big.

When did such a powerful psychic appear here without his knowledge?

……

Outside Huanglong Cave.

Ji Fuyou glanced at the not-so-large Huanglong Mountain.

Even though I've already left Huanglong Cave, that faint sense of unease hasn't dissipated.

Standing outside the cave doesn't seem safe either.

This made him look somewhat serious.

What exactly is going on inside Huanglong Cave?

This scene, so different from his dream, gave him a vague sense of being out of control.

He doesn't like this kind of uncertainty.

After a while, he went to the converted RV, pondered for a moment, picked up his phone, and sent a message to Fang Qiyun.

If Fang Qiyun were outside the cave and happened to see the message, he would naturally remind her not to go deeper.

If she has already entered the cave... there is nothing he can do.

……

"The next dream scene to be constructed is the cave where that corpse demon resides, but finding the cave is always extremely difficult, and there has been no news from Zhang Heng so far."

Ji Fuyou drove the car away from Huanglong Mountain.

If the Corpse Demon doesn't work, we have to postpone it.

Ji Fuyou recalls his dream...

Heavy armored orcs, giant centipedes, pale boarmen, demons—they look just like them!

The heavily armored orc is located in a forest, while the giant centipede is situated in a valley with abundant white rocks, making them easily identifiable and searchable.

However, if we're talking about time, he only has one "scene" left before the World's Number One Martial Arts Tournament, namely the cave where the Corpse Demon resides.

There's no time for anything else.

His current mental value is 21.3. Even if he gets another blue mental crystal, it will only rise to 22 at most. It will become increasingly difficult to increase it further!

As for spiritual crystallization, it's still far from being perfected.

"If I had another three to five months, I could easily be promoted to Senior Rank. But it would be difficult to get promoted to Senior Rank by the spoils of hunting corpse demons, unless I obtain a legacy crystal, preferably one similar to the one used in mental combat techniques, to help my sword intent reach its peak, and then trigger mental crystallization through the peak of my sword intent."

Ji Fuyou and Fang Qiyun discussed this matter.

In today's society, many people elevate their social standing through this method.

The same applies to spiritual systems and martial arts systems.

Some basic swordsmanship and fist techniques can help people quickly understand the essence of internal energy (Dan Jin) and even the subtle applications of external force (Gang Jin) through a comprehensive and insightful approach.

Therefore, we still need to find out where the Corpse Demon is located.

"Perhaps we can start with the official forum of the Association of Mental Abilities."

Asking about only one scenario wouldn't arouse suspicion.

Thinking of this, Ji Fuyou reorganized some of the pictures that he had originally sent to Zhang Heng, disguised them, and then posted them on the forum.

……

As night fell, Ji Fuyou returned to Jiangtao Pavilion.

Before I even entered the villa, my phone rang.

He took out his phone and saw that it was a video sent by Fang Qiyun.

After the connection was established, Fang Qiyun's face, though slightly tired, was still handsome.

"There's a signal. Looks like you've come out of the cave. Are you alright?"

"fine."

Fang Qiyun asked, somewhat puzzled, "How do you know that something unusual has happened in Huanglong Cave?"

Then she realized something: "You went into Huanglong Cave?"

"Yeah, I went along to join in the fun."

As Ji Fuyou spoke, he asked, "Where are you now?"

"I just came out and plan to find a place to rest in Blue Moon City."

Fang Qiyun asked with a smile, "Did you find anything?"

"I'm lucky to have obtained a white spirit source crystal. I want to exchange it for a blue physique source crystal."

"Another Spirit Source Crystal?"

Fang Qiyun's eyes were filled with undisguised envy: "What kind of good luck do you have?"

"There's nothing you can do about luck; you can't stop it no matter how hard you try."

Ji Fuyou smiled.

Fang Qiyun pursed her lips.

She stayed in Huanglong Cave for several days. The team hunted down more than twenty giant scorpions and blood bats, and obtained two white physical source crystals. Ji Fuyou could tell at a glance that they hadn't been inside for long, yet they had already obtained white spiritual source crystals...

There's really no way to compare people.

Do you have the channels?

"It should be possible, I'll ask for you."

Fang Qiyun adjusted her mindset.

"Hmm, how is the situation at Huanglong Cave now?"

"A large number of skeleton monsters suddenly emerged from the depths of the mist. These skeleton monsters were very hostile to mental beings. As undead creatures, they had high mental resistance. Caught off guard, many teams suffered heavy losses and retreated from Huanglong Cave."

As Fang Qiyun spoke, he couldn't help but say, "Now, the danger level of Huanglong Cave will probably really have to be adjusted to the same level as Tianji Ridge and Misty Forest."

“Skeletons are undead creatures; you can target them by preparing flammable materials.”

Ji Fuyou Road.

"Many people have realized that the prices of some incendiary materials that are more effective in the fog have increased several times over."

Fang Qiyun nodded.

Then she smiled and invited, "Although skeleton monsters have a high resistance to mental magic, their perception range is small, unlike other strange beasts. Their hearing and perception are sharp, and their safety is well guaranteed. If I invite you to team up and explore Huanglong Cave again, you won't turn me away again, will you?"

"The exact situation inside Huanglong Cave is still unclear. We'll assess the situation once things stabilize inside the cave."

Ji Fuyou Road.

Even if he finds the cave where the Corpse Demon is located, he still needs to obtain a Legacy Crystal to have any hope of being promoted to Senior Rank.

In this situation, taking the initiative to search Huanglong Cave and see if one can obtain a blue spiritual crystal by chance is also a backup option.

After all, compared to other places, his familiarity with the first, second, and third levels of Huanglong Cave was no less than that of any team that had been there for more than half a month.

"Alright, I'll wait for your good news... buzz... message..."

Fang Qiyun responded, but the connection suddenly froze.

"Your signal is bad."

Ji Fuyou didn't think much of it.

It's normal for videos to lag.

"Hmm... buzz... well... I'll go inquire... buzz... found it... buzz... I'll contact you again..."

"Okay, I'll wait until you find out..."

"Beep! Beep! Beep!"

Before Ji Fuyou could finish speaking, the communication was interrupted due to poor signal.
