Chapter 1706: Preliminary Exploration of the Ravine

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
You consider six Days to craft a piece of equipment as slow?
Su Xiaoman said no more as she turned her back against Chen Xiaobei, snuggled up to the white lion, and dozed off.
Ao Liancheng’s injuries had not completely recovered. He did not have the energy to spare to argue with Chen Xiaobei so, he too turned away from Chen Xiaobei and lay down on the grass to rest.
Although they did not express it out loud, they all thought that Chen Xiaobei’s overstated, myth-like exaggerations had crossed the line. Even a child would not have fallen for it.
The truth was, Chen Xiaobei was not exaggerating!
His Green Jade Cauldron was a Divine Instrument! The Sanmei True Fire was Divine Fire!
It would be impossible to find the same grade of cauldron and Spiritual Fire in Apocalypse Starfield, and not even in the Earth-God realm!
A sharp ax makes quick work – With the ‘sharp axes’ of the Green Jade Cauldron and Sanmei True Fire, the whole ‘wood-chopping’ process would naturally be much faster and easier.
Had Ao Liancheng and Su Xiaoman known of this secret, they would not have presumed that Chen Xiaobei was overstating his claims.
It was also true that once he got the hang of it, he could do it even faster!
Of course, Chen Xiaobei was not going to try and explain himself. Whether they believe it or not, being able to put on the enhanced Nightstalker Outfit after six days was far more important.
After that, Chen Xiaobei sat down and began to cultivate.
Although he had a 100,000-year Ambergris which could increase his combat power by 10,000 and a 1 million-year Ambergris which could increase his combat power by 100,000, they were not quite enough to help him reach the peak of Ethereal Cultivation!
Ao Liancheng and Su Xiaoman were going to rest through the night but Chen Xiaobei dared not waste a single minute. He was going to need every available minute to increase his cultivation.
As for when Chen Xiaobei was going to use the two pieces of Ambergris, he felt that it could still wait.
This was because, if he could not reach the peak of Ethereal Cultivation, that 110,000 combat power was all but meaningless.
He would rather save it for a more appropriate time to use. Who knows? He might be able to use it as a secret weapon and catch his enemies off-guard.
Chen Xiaobei cultivated for 10 hours.
Ding!
[Cultivation: Early phase of Ethereal Cultivation; Lifespan: 2,570 hours; Health: 201,000; Combat power: 181,000]
His combat power and health had only increased by 1,000.
This increment was not a lot.
But as he was only eight days away from the three-month deadline and if he could cultivate for ten hours every day, that would be an 80,000 increase in combat power and health. Such was an increase that should not be overlooked!
Cultivating was a long, cumulative process. Each step, each footprint would add up to make a mickle.
When daylight broke, the three of them continued their journey.
…
For the next six days, nothing special happened.
The deeper into the mountains they went, the more a wild beasts which were stronger appeared as well. Nevertheless, with Su Xiaoman, a 600,000 combat power God-Ascension elite protecting them, the wild beasts that attacked them were all slaughtered.
The Beast Cores went into Su Xiaoman’s waist pouch, and the flesh of the beasts were roasted on the bonfire every night.
When night came, Chen Xiaobei would spend one hour to craft equipment, and ten hours cultivating.
Ding!
[Cultivation: Early phase of Ethereal Cultivation; Lifespan: 2,570 years; Health: 207,000; Combat power: 187,000]
For the past six days, Chen Xiaobei’s cultivation had increased steadily. It was not a lot but at least it was something.
Also!
The Nightstalker Outfit’s fortification was completed on the fifth day.
The upgraded Nightstalker outfit was kept warm inside the Green Jade Cauldron. Chen Xiaobei could use it any time he needed it!
Finally, but also most importantly, with the help of the map and the phone that Chen Xiaobei took off the body of the commander, he was able to eliminate all enemies without any setback.
Most important of all, Su Xiaoman was not the least bit suspicious.
Today was finally the seventh day.
Ou Yanghu and his group of men would have probably arrived at the secret location of the Abyssal Ice!
Su Xiaoman said, “Childe Chen! Chide Ao! This is the seventh day we’ve been traveling together! Our faction’s mission will be in full swing today. So, I will not be traveling with you for the rest of the journey!”
“Alright! You go ahead!” Chen Xiaobei nodded. “My friend’s injuries have nearly completely healed! We’ll try to get a spacecraft ourselves later!”
“Thank you for understanding, Childe Chen!” Su Xiaoman said. “Since I couldn’t get you a spacecraft, could I reimburse you with Spiritual Stones?”
“There’s no need to.” Chen Xiaobei replied. “You’ve protected us for the past few days. We’ve earned a friend. There’s no need to compensate us!”
“I…” A sweet smile spread across Su Xiaoman’s face. “Childe Chen! You really are a good person! Come visit Divine Tiger Faction when you get the chance. I will be sure to treat you well!”
“Hurry, and go ahead or your shixiong will start panicking!” Chen Xiaobei said.
Su Xiaoman said her goodbye and left.
Ao Liancheng’s brows furrowed as he watched her leave. “Zhufeng, were you using this girl so that you could kill them and rob them off their treasures?”
“Am I such a despicable person in your eyes?” Chen Xiaobei said. “Don’t worry. I only need one small piece of Abyssal Ice. I’ll only go after they leave with what they wanted. I’m not going to take away what they desire!”
“Oh… I’ve wrongly accused you…” Ao Lianchen wiped away the sweat on his brow. “Natural items like that belong to Mother Nature! No person should take all of them into their possessions! As long as it is not acquired by the means of slaughter, there is nothing wrong with it!”
Chen Xiaobei nodded and walked in front. “Let’s follow behind slowly.”
…
About ten kilometers away was the ravine.
Surrounded by mountains, the ravine was very obscure.
It was an odd spectacle because the mountains hedging was luscious and full of life.
However, there was not a single blade of grass in the ravine, which looked arid and desolate. There was not a single insect in sight as well.
The terrifying frigid yin qi from the depths of the ravine was the reason for this lifeless phenomenon.
Ou Yanghu and the hundred or more Divine Tiger Sect disciples had congregated at the edge of the ravine.
The three-star Earth-God Abyssal Ice was in the ravine.
“Why isn’t Xiaoman here yet?” Ou Yanghu frowned. “Gang Zi! Call Xiaoman! Find out what’s wrong!”
“Yes!” The person named Gang Zi was a young man in his twenties. He had only taken out his phone when he suddenly cried out excitedly, “She’s here! Shijie Xiaoman is here!”
A silhouette of a beautiful woman jogged towards them from the darkness.
“Shixiong Ou Yanghu, am I late?” Su Xiaoman asked, giggling.
“No! Not at all! You came just in time, shijie!” Gang Zi replied, grinning broadly, revealing his row of snow-white teeth.
“Stop smiling so mischievously! Let’s begin immediately!” Ou Yanghu scolded. “Gang Zi, bring ten men with you. Climb down the tree vines along the stone wall. Report immediately if there are any problems!”
“Alright! Leave it to me!” Gang Zi nodded, as he took with him ten people into the ravine.
