Truly divine creation!
“The wolf vein is formed!” Baili Ge reminded, then fully activated his star sea to absorb and refine the surrounding star power essence!
In just a short moment, both Baili Ge and Tian Bulue felt their usually slow-growing star seas rapidly filling with star power and visibly growing stronger.
“Such a strong effect!” The two of them were overjoyed.
Blue Sea Star was already a mature world. It hadn’t seen new star veins for countless years, so there were no star vein eruptions.
They had only learned about star veins and their effects during their preparation for this trip. But they hadn’t expected the effects to be this potent!
Opportunities like today’s were indeed “once in a thousand years”!
Whether star beasts or humans, no one could remain indifferent.
At this moment, as the star power was being absorbed and refined, different auras kept appearing around them.
Baili Ge scanned the surroundings and sneered.
“Quite a few people are hiding…”
After a long while, the star power essence ejected from the wolf vein finally started to slow down.
Baili Ge stopped absorbing the essence a bit earlier, thought for a moment, then made sealing hand signs. The yellow sand outside instantly solidified into several inconspicuous sand worms that burrowed into the ground and rapidly spread out.
Baili Ge closed his eyes again, attaching his consciousness to these numerous sand worm spies to investigate the surrounding situation.
Beside him, Tian Bulue noticed Baili Ge’s actions and promptly stopped his cultivation.
A while later, Baili Ge reopened his eyes.
“Special Envoy Baili, what’s the situation?” Tian Bulue asked.
“These nameless individuals are hiding, waiting for their moment. But they’re just petty thieves!” Baili Ge sneered and turned to Tian Bulue.
“Special Envoy Tian, are you ready?”
Tian Bulue thought for a moment, then nodded, “Let’s go!”
“Oh?” Baili Ge was slightly surprised, then grinned, “Then let’s go!”
Tian Bulue preferred being cautious, ideally waiting until Yan Changming arrived so the three of them could securely claim the star vein together.
However, in a team, differing opinions were fine, but disunity in action was fatal.
Tian Bulue knew he couldn’t hold Baili Ge back, so he might as well act according to his way.
After all, Baili Ge had a point.
As first-level special envoys of the Sky Patrol Department, they were elite masters able to handle most situations alone; why bother being overly cautious!
Baili Ge led the charge, leaping out of the sand hole, followed closely by Tian Bulue.
The moment they took flight, they immediately attracted the attention of all star beasts and external parties.
Several kilometers away, behind a formation of rocky ground, a group of people in dark blue uniforms observed.
These were the Firehawk Guards of the Yanluo Country, a special force similar to the Sky Patrol Department’s special envoys.
The leader, a black-haired man who appeared to be a David of the Firehawk Guards, equal in rank to a first-level special envoy of the Sky Patrol Department, observed through his armband.
“It really is the Great Flame Sky Patrol!” Wei Zong, the black-haired man, said solemnly.
Beside him, Central Guard Yan Jin asked: “Wei David, those two from the Sky Patrol seem to have arrived first. They also want this wolf vein. What should we do?”
Wei Zong’s eyes narrowed as he watched the distant Baili Ge and Tian Bulue, then asked without turning his head, “Miao Ping, how many people are around?”
A female Central Guard behind Wei Zong had her eyes closed and hands on her chest. She replied, “Under Mind Detection, excluding us, there are over ten others.”
“That many?” Yan Jin and the others were quite surprised.
Miao Ping opened her eyes and said, “As the earth qi changes on Blue Sea Star and wolf veins proliferate, more and more entrances to the New Dust Realm have appeared.”
“The entrances managed by the Great Flame and our Yanluo are under control, with limited entry.
However, unmonitored or small country entrances allow many to enter.”
“True.” Wei Zong nodded.
Few factions held Vein Extraction Barriers, certainly at least Yanluo and Black Snow’s level.
But the New Dust Realm was full of treasures, highly attractive to various factions and lone Star Card Masters.
Hence, this wolf vein’s birthplace attracted many covetous eyes.
Including members from Xunyang, the Western Desert, and other factions.
Even without pulse drawing beads or similar artifacts, they lingered to seize the wolf vein later.
Wei Zong said, “Though the Great Flame Sky Patrol first discovered this wolf vein, it’s too precious to just give away.
Let’s see how they handle these people. If they can manage, we’ll let them have it.
If not… we’ll reassess.”
“Understood!” Yan Jin and the others agreed.
Yanluo and Great Flame were neighboring allies, not strategic partners.
When interests conflicted, each would resort to their own means!
This was just one wolf vein in the New Dust Realm, but there would be more wolf veins, tiger veins, and even… dragon veins on Blue Sea Star?
The millennia-old status quo on the East Continent might very well change!
