Chapter 401: Cave Combat

"A weakness? What kind of weakness?" Lin Yuan pressed further.

"The Obsidian Beetles... their greatest vulnerability is high temperatures," Li Changan said. "If the temperature is high enough, it can destroy them."

"High temperatures?" Su Wan and Lin Yuan both fell into deep thought.

"We... we can use the base's energy weapons!" Li Changan blurted out suddenly. "The energy weapons here can generate intense heat. Perhaps... they can deal with those Obsidian Beetles!"

"But... the ba—"

It was impossible to tell how much time had passed, but when the two-colored mists finally dissolved into the sword embryo, the blade at last took form. It was no longer frail, appearing neither too wide nor too narrow, neither too long nor too short, perfect in every dimension.

Golden Eyes withdrew his stance, looking at him with a hint of schadenfreude. Muzi rubbed his rear, a thoroughly wicked glint flashing in his eyes.

"No problem!" Jiang Nan accepted the Evoltruster, tucking it into her blouse, and drew a capsule from her ring, sensing the potent power contained within.

With no other recourse, he had to choose surrender. Though he had already made up his mind, Han Fei could not possibly agree so easily.

Seeing Su Tie's awkward embarrassment, Wanying finally realized he possessed such a simple, honest nature. Unable to buck societal prejudice, she ultimately returned to the manor obediently.

Although Chen Xin didn't pull the tail, he was looking for a weakness. After searching for a while, he realized... there was simply no way to fight it! The monster's anatomy left him entirely at a loss, unsure where a strike would even be effective.

According to the final agreement, state-backed capital would hold a ten percent stake in Dawn Technology Materials, and a separate bioengineering company would be established specifically to cultivate the Negu bacteria crucial for preparing graphene.

As for why he had been dispatched to lurk undercover as a disciple of the Old Demon Black Sand, Li Yu did not know. He only knew that more than a decade after the server launched in his past life, Master Green Flame stole an item from the Old Demon Black Sand, prompting the Elder Celestial Corpse to appear and trade blows with Black Sand in person.

The sofa, the coffee table, and the floor were completely littered with the discarded wrappers and containers of various instant foods, snacks, and beverages.

This scene was a confrontation between Xu Fengnian and his second elder sister, Xu Weixiong. She berated him sharply, yet it was merely a display of her bitter earnestness to compel him to inherit Beiliang.

Cheng Yanning encircled her waist with his left hand, while his right slid beneath her T-shirt to make mischief. Unwilling to withdraw either hand, he spoke in a low murmur. Seeing her still putting up a stubborn resistance, he bit her earlobe as a playful punishment, his tongue then gliding behind her ear to softly trace its contour.

"Your servant obeys the decree! I shall not fail Your Majesty's trust!" Ding Kuichu's face lit up with joy; he had gambled correctly after all.

"Your name?" Garrosh demanded loudly, his attitude shifting from dissatisfaction to surprise, and finally to delight, though the movements of his hands did not slow in the slightest.

"Director Ling, what do you think...?" Not only the smuggler boss, but even the police officer leading the squad was dumbfounded. He didn't recognize this so-called Director Ling either; the order had come directly from the municipal bureau leadership, and he was merely executing it. The only thing he knew was that this person's status was absolutely extraordinary.

Their bodies pressed tightly together, and Zhen Mingzhu stumbled, falling helplessly into his embrace. After venting her emotions, she wrapped her arms around his waist and remained still.

"The eighty-one of you will return to develop satellite launch technology, and the twenty of you will follow me!" After storing the eighty-one engineers into the system space, Wu Liang led the remaining twenty to the Yangzhou prefectural magistrate's office.

Just at that moment, a dark shadow lunged out from behind a nearby tree. Before anyone could react, a foot struck Liu Shisan squarely in the back. Liu Shisan barely managed to turn to block before he was sent flying through the air.

"Even if one's personal strength cannot match that of a normal ascended immortal, our pavilion possesses immensely powerful immortal artifacts and talismans. Flinging a single talisman out is enough to instantly kill someone of the same rank, and clad in a set of immortal artifacts, one can be invincible among peers!" Wu Liang spoke slowly.

From Qi Ye Chen Yan's perspective, Miyamoto Musashi was sprinting ahead of everyone without a shred of dignity, her terrified expression suggesting that whatever pursued her was a mortal peril.
