414 The Hunt Officially Begins
Lin Xuan nodded his head, not fully understanding the sentence. These quacks all liked to say things that were vague, but the words did strike a bell in his heart.

He was not in a hurry to return to the nine beasts chaotic world instance dungeon. Lin Xuan sat down in an open-air cafe in the Imperial City and ordered a cup of coffee. He looked at the river view beside him as it blew past his face, carefully thinking about what he was told.

The past was the past, the present was the choice, and the future had countless possibilities.

The power of prophecy was not something to be taken lightly. It could provide many possibilities, and the river of time and fate could branch into several different streams, each representing a different future.

With this as the premise, the words that the Bureau Chief said were somewhat thought-provoking.

Where there’s a will, there’s a way!

The success rate was not high, but there was still a chance of success.

He took a sip of the warm coffee-flavored milk tea. His eyes were in a daze. To be honest, even if the hunting plan failed, it would not be a big deal. When he advanced to earth-rank in the future, he could still come over and kill the slug by force. The success rate would even be higher by then.

However, he wanted to use this time period when he had yet to advance to the next level to attack the slug. Killing someone of the same level and killing someone of a higher level were two completely different things. More importantly, if Lin Xuan was able to complete the kill at this point in time, the amount of contribution points he would be able to obtain would probably be huge!

After advancing to the earth-rank, one needed to use contribution points to complete the advancement. The number of contribution points was important, and Lin Xuan did not know exactly how much he had. However, he knew that there were still many earth-rank masters who were stuck at the initial stage of the earth-rank due to the lack of points. They had no hope of advancing at all!

Of course, this was also because the three major world dungeons were still in a peaceful development stage. Once the dungeons are completed, earth-rank demons and ghosts would appear. That would be the time for many earth-rank powerhouses to obtain the resources to advance.

No matter what, Lin Xuan had to prepare for his advancement after earth-rank. Killing a peak earth-rank monster as a mystic-rank would earn him a lot of contribution points!

“Where there’s a will, there’s a way…”

Lin Xuan mumbled to himself as he finished the coffee-flavored milk tea in one gulp. His eyes glossed over and he showed a smile.

Even if he failed, it didn’t matter!

He entered the chaotic world of nine beasts dungeon again!

It was already early in the morning. The sky was bright and full of stars.

The distracting thoughts in his mind flashed past, but he suddenly remembered that there were beasts everywhere in the dungeon.

The Zong family on the moon had been destroyed, but if Lin Xuan remembered correctly, there was still the Wood family!

Even if he unified the entire continent, the progress of this world dungeon would never be 100 percent complete. It still had a hidden boss.

After a moment of silence, Lin Xuan still shook his head. He could not directly tell the officials of Taixia about this, as his source of information did not exist. Furthermore, he was not sure whether the tribe he was thinking about existed.

Lin Xuan took out the talisman and activated it with the energy and blood in his body. The talisman turned to ashes in an instant, and a faint wave of fluctuation was emitted. Before Lin Xuan could properly comprehend it, the wave disappeared.

Lin Xuan was speechless.

What happened? Why was there no feedback?

Lin Xuan was a little confused as he stood there.

He contacted the members of the team and continued with the hunting plan. This time, everyone was even more cautious. Although their fate had been covered up, their previous actions — everything, in fact — would leave traces. There would always be some oddballs who would pursue the matter and expose Lin Xuan.

There was a strange movement on Wood Mountain!

Not long after Lin Xuan’s return, someone in the team sent news that the toads did not head to the chaotic battlefield immediately. Instead, they were wandering around, trying to find something. Fortunately, the team members were nimble and cleaned up all the traces. As for the traces that could not be cleaned, they had also set up a suspicious formation and it would not trace back to their plan at all.

However, Lin Xuan knew that he could not hide it for long!

He had to end the battle quickly.

Lin Xuan was a little nervous, but it was of no use. He sat in Muxia’s Mission Hall and took a sip of tea from time to time, waiting for the layout to be completed.

He needed to calm his heart every time something major happened. He had not reached the state of mind where he could remain calm even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him. He still needed to hone his mind.

A team member quickly walked over, his face filled with anxiety and joy. He could not wait to whisper into Lin Xuan’s ear, “Everything has been set up. We can set off now!”

“Alright!”

Lin Xuan took a sip of tea unhurriedly. His heart was beating fast and adrenaline coursed through his veins. Even though it was almost dawn, he was still extremely excited.

“Let’s go have a battle to the death!”

The other two holy lands slugs had already returned to the Bone Forest. There were no signs of any changes for now.

As he advanced toward the spatial passageway, he listened to the immortal slug’s current state and the division of his progeny.

“The high-purity sea salt has been evenly spread around the Bone Forest. The seaway stone powder has been mixed in. This portion of seaway stone powder is reserved for you to use when you are fighting your target. According to calculations, it will reduce the target’s combat power and cause the target to be greatly dehydrated.

“In addition to sea salt, gasoline has been poured at the exits and surroundings of Bone Forest. As long as you use fire spells, you can cause an extensive explosion!

“Also…”

Lin Xuan’s eyebrows twitched. Could he really withstand an energy level explosion?

He should be able to, right?

Although he had removed the Golden Crow mark from his body, he still kept it in his space of consciousness. His control of fire and manipulation had not declined, and with such hard armor, he should be fine… Right?

It should be!

Lin Xuan took a deep breath and expelled the frustration and conflict in his heart. When he opened his eyes again, he had already regained his calm. There was no problem facing the immortal slug in his current state.

They had arrived.

Lin Xuan finally arrived at the location. There were several team members guarding the exit.

They looked at Lin Xuan with smiles on their faces. Once Lin Xuan stepped into the Bone Forest, their mission would be completed.

Lin Xuan strode in after taking in a deep breath. The hunting operation has officially begun!
