Lu Ze looked at the firm-faced group and smiled. “If you guys are certain then up to you.”

  Lu Ze could understand their pride.

  All those who could come to the Federal University were the most talented in an entire solar system. No one would want to be a freeloader.

  Ye Mu and the squad smiled. “Of course. When we go out, we’ll go tell Captain Mu Han that we’ll go support the miner rescues.”

  Lu Ze nodded.

  Then, Ye Mu and the rest returned. The tunnel was complicated, but they remember the way back.

  Only Lu Ze and Lin Ling remained in the tunnel.

  Lin Ling’s eyes flashed. “If it wasn’t that my god art can help find beasts, I would’ve left too.”

  Lin Ling’s use was just to guide the way. If Lu Ze could find the beasts himself, he could kill them all himself.

  Lu Ze smiled. “There’s not that many ifs. Stop sighing, and let’s go. We might be able to make it back in time for dinner.”

  Lin Ling glanced at Lu Ze speechlessly.

  This guy was still thinking about food!

  Lu Ze smiled and turned around to look at the four tunnels. His smile stiffened. “Lin Ling, which one do we go to?”

  Oh my! If he was here alone, he would definitely get lost.

  Lin Ling pointed to the very right tunnel. “This tunnel has the highest density of foreign spirit force.”

  Lu Ze frowned. “So, other tunnels have it, too?”

  Lin Ling nodded and pointed at the two tunnels to the left. “It’s in there, too. Which one do we go to?”

  Lu Ze thought about it and said, “Let’s go to the one with the most first.”

  Lin Ling nodded.

  It was Lu Ze fighting anyway. She was just a cute audience; she didn’t mind.

  Then, the two headed down the right tunnel.

  It was curved and went up and down, but it was still going down over all.

  During the meantime, the two encountered quite some solo beasts. There were Spirit Martial State, Abstruse Martial State, and even low-level Core Martial State beasts.

  Those Core Martial State low-level beasts had defences equivalent to Core Martial State middle stage.

  As they went deeper, more and more beasts appeared. Their power grew stronger, too.

  It was another empty cave; green light flashed in Lu Ze’s eyes and whirlwind covered the entire cave. More than ten high-level Abstruse Beasts and two low-level Core Martial State beasts’ ligaments hovered around in the air, but they were still swept inside the whirlwind.

  The sharp wind inside sliced on their bodies, and clanks sounded non stop. The beasts started howling.

  Moments later, the cave was full of bodies.

  Lu Ze and Lin Ling came inside the cave and studied the bodies.

  Lin Ling said. “They’re getting even stronger.”

  Lu Ze nodded. “It’s fine now. Let’s go in further. There shouldn’t be an Aperture Opening State beast, right?”

  Lu Ze felt he shouldn’t be that unlucky.

  It should be an easy mission.

  How come he didn’t feel it was easy.

  The two pressed on.

  Three hours later, there were less and less branching tunnels. There were more and more undug heaven blue crystals. The tunnels were illuminated in blue light.

  When the two were walking forward carefully, Lu Ze suddenly stopped.

  “What’s going on?”

  Lin Ling asked.

  Lu Ze said, “It seems to be the end of the tunnel ahead.”

  The end should be the beast lair they dug, right?

  Lu Ze looked ahead, but he didn’t dare to use mental force to check it. It wouldn’t be good if a powerful beast inside sensed it.

  Lin Ling dazed and said, “Let’s go check it first?”

  Lu Ze nodded. “Let’s be careful.”

  The two went forward carefully. At the end of the tunnel, they peeped their heads inside the cave.

  The cave had a diameter of a thousand meters. Blue crystals emitted light from the walls and ground, lighting up the entire cave.

  Inside were tens of huge, black-shelled beasts gnawing at the blue crystals. Their sharp teeth crushed the ores.

  There was also heavy breathing from the beasts.

  In the center of the beasts laid a 50-meter long, huge black-shelled beast. It frowned a little.

  Its chi was very strong—probably high Core Martial State power. With its strong defences, even Lu Ze wasn’t certain he could kill it.

  Lin Ling patted Lu Ze’s shoulder and pointed in a direction. “Look there, Lu Ze.”

  Lu Ze glanced, and there was a huge hole of a hundred meters in diameter. The inside was pitch-black.

  It was a cave dug open by the beasts.

  The Federal miners probably dug to this cave and were caught by the beasts. Then, they were attacked.

  So, did that mean there were more beasts inside?

  Just that huge beast alone made him feel not so confident.

  If they fought, and they called for their parents or something, he would really cry.

  Lin Ling’s eyes flashed, and she suddenly smiled. “Ze, do you still remember the insectoid tide?”

  Lu Ze was in a daze and replied. “Of course.”

  Lin Ling raised her lips. “Just like how we attacked those flying insectoids, I’ll tell you the weakness of the beast, and you attack.”

  Lu Ze’s eyes lit. “We can do that!”

  He completely forgot that Lin Ling could see through their defences.

  Lu Ze smiled at her. “Then, tell me where the weakness of that biggest beast is. I’ll take care of them now.”

  Hearing this, Lin Ling’s eyes shone brighter. She started to sweat.

  It was very difficult for Lin Ling, as this was a high-level Core Martial State beast.

  If her god art didn’t improve, she would definitely fail.

  Now, she could possibly succeed.

  Seeing Lin Ling frown in pain, Lu Ze’s eyes flashed but didn’t tell her to stop.

  She wasn’t that type of person.

  At this moment, the huge, black beast suddenly looked up and let out an ear-piercing howl.

  It shook the cave as dust fell.

  The other beasts also looked up warily.

  The huge beast looked toward the tunnel.

  It noticed someone peeking while it was eating. This made it furious.

  Lu Ze turned to Lin Ling. “We’re found.”

  Lin Ling said, “I need a little bit more time……”

  Before she finished, the black beast flashed with spirit light as a faint green, basketball-sized energy ball formed in its mouth.

  It then turned into a green light that shot toward Lin Ling and Lu Ze.

  The energy inside made Lu Ze serious.

  This was a Core Martial State level nine beast.

  Red flames flashed in Lu Ze’s eyes as a fire barrier blocked in front of the ball.

  Rumble!!

  Terrifying energy was released in the cave. Green and red light filled the space.

  The walls started cracking as dust and rocks fell nonstop.

  Lu Ze looked at the expanding crack, and his eyes flashed. Green wind grabbed Lin Ling’s thin waist as Lu Ze brought her into the cave.

  They couldn’t fight in the tunnel here or it would collapse, and they would need to rebuild it.

  When they came in, the tens of black beasts charged at them.

  If it wasn’t that the rocks containing the heaven blue crystals were rather tough, this cave would have probably collapsed already.

  Lu Ze’s eyes went cold.

  Green and red light flashed in Lu Ze’s eyes as he opened five-times strength god art.

  He went into his strongest form instantly.

  He would finish the battle quickly.

  Otherwise, if the cave collapsed, wouldn’t he be buried alive?

  He opened his right hand.

  A red flame appeared, forming red prisons that devoured the beasts.

  Then, wind spun around the prisons, too.

  The weakest beasts were just Abstruse Martial State and were instantly roasted to charcoal. They smelled bad.

  However, the remaining eight Core Martial States survived.

  That Core Martial State level nine roared. Its spirit light flashed, and it instantly broke free.

  Its armor was completely unscatched.

  It…… even shone brighter?

  Lu Ze looked on dazedly. Did it repair its armor for it?

  He needed to charge a fee!

  Clearly, the beast didn’t intend to pay as it charged toward Lu Ze.

  Lu Ze couldn’t clash with the beast head on yet. Otherwise, the cave might collapse.

  He dodged the attack with Lin Ling.

  The beasts lost speed while they strengthened their defences. Lu Ze could easily play around with the huge beast, while dealing with other weaker ones.

  In a short few seconds, two weaker, black beasts were roasted.

  “Roar!!!”

  Feeling his pals getting killed nonstop while he was getting played, the huge, black beast went into fury.

  It stopped chasing and roared.

  Terrifying spirit force wave spread out.

  Was this guy going to use a big move?

  Please don’t? We’re going to be buried alive.

  His mouth spasmed as he said, “Lin Ling, we’re about to be buried alive? Are you still not done?”

  Lu Ze glanced at Lin Ling and found her face was very pale. Her body seemed weak, too. Only her eyes were brighter.

  Pocket Hunting Dimension  

  Chapter 157: Sorry for Disturbing, We’ll Leave Immediately!

  Not far ahead, the huge, black beast flashed with blue spirit light, releasing a powerful pressure. The entire cave shook as though it would collapse at any time.

  At this moment, the light in Lin Ling’s eyes slowly receded. She said weakly, “Okay, it’s at the spine behind its head. The metal distribution there is weak! Use your full power, and you should be able to break it!”

  Lu Ze grinned. Green and red light flashed in Lu Ze’s eyes.

  He used a fire god art and formed a red barrier to protect Lin Ling, while he charged at the beast.

  This huge beast seemed to attack differently than others. It relied on its powerful defense and continued to gather spirit force for its attack.

  Lu Ze appeared behind its back where Lin Ling had said.

  He punched down with flames and wind.

  Rumble!!

  The black beast was very confident in its defense. It was proven before as well that Lu Ze’s attack wasn’t effective.

  It didn’t react when Lu Ze appeared behind it, but when Lu Ze punched out, it’s sixth sense made it restless.

  With that punch, it would die!

  It didn’t know why, but the black beast trusted its instincts.

  It roared, and the gathered spirit force turned into a faint blue armor covering Lu Ze’s punch.

  The green red fist force clashed with the armor.

  Rumble!!

  Thunderous raves spread, and the cave shook more violently. Large pieces of rocks fell down.

  “Roar!”

  A painful growl sounded.

  In terms of power, the black best was weaker than Lu Ze. Its only power was its defences.

  Now that there was a flaw in it, Lu Ze’s fist easily tore open its spirit force defense and struck on its weakness.

  Bone-cracking sounds came. The black armor cracked, and the crack started to spread.

  The fist force seeped into the beast’s body. Blood spilled out, making this beast howl in pain.

  Lu Ze said coldly, “Die!”

  He punched again.

  Rumble!!

  The shell splashed away pieces.

  Another punch!

  Rumble!!

  The spirit force fist tore through the armor and struck its tender insides.

  Sharp winds and scorching flames exploded inside the beast, and its organs and muscles were instantly destroyed.

  This cave could collapse at any time.

  Lu Ze looked at the huge cave entrance on the wall that connected to the beast lair.

  His eyes flashed. Should he go in and check?

  His mission was to kill all the black beasts, after all.

  Who knew if there were more inside?

  Captain Mu Han didn’t even have intel of his Core Martial State level nine beast.

  It was too dangerous to go inside like that.

  If more battles occurred, this cave would really collapse.

  He wasn’t going. He would go back and report the situation first.

  His life was more important.

  Lu Ze came back to Lin Ling and waved away the barrier.

  He said, “Let’s go back first, things don’t seem to be so simple.”

  Lin Ling clearly felt the same and nodded. “Mhm.”

  Her voice was feeble. Clearly, she overused her god art.

  Just when they were planning a tactical retreat, a deep growl sounded from the tunnel.

  The tunnel started to collapse. A black beast—smaller than the one Lu Ze just killed—charged out.

  When it saw the huge beast behind Lu Ze, its eyes went red. It charged at Lu Ze without hesitation.

  “Oh, sh*t!”

  Lin Ling also looked at the collapse dazedly.

  How were they going back now?

  Why was there another one left?

  Lu Ze’s mouth spasmed. He took Lin Ling with the wind and dodged the attack.

  The beast furiously smashed the ground, and the cave shook vigorously again. Huge rocks fell down incessantly.

  “Lin Ling, can you still use god art?” Lu Ze looked at the pale-faced Lin Ling.

  Her cultivation level was too low, and it would be hard for her to use it again.

  However, he couldn’t break the defences.

  He was still too noob. Lu Ze felt he should go die in the Pocket Hunting Dimension more.

  He couldn’t even take care of a Core Martial State beast.

  Lin Ling said seriously, “I’ll try again.”

  Her dim eyes glimmered with light again. Her face instantly went pale, and her eyes turned red.

  “Stop!”

  Lu Ze quickly grabbed her hand.

  Her eyes were going to be ruined like this.

  Lin Ling bit her lips and sighed eventually. “I can’t.”

  Lu Ze grinned and said, “It’s fine, it’s very slow. If we run fast enough, it can’t catch up to us.”

  “Our path is blocked, you’re still laughing!”

  Couldn’t he be more serious??

  Lu Ze pointed at the cave “Isn’t there another way here? It’s fine, I’ll take you out.”

  Lin Ling’s mouth spasmed. She didn’t know what to say anymore.

  Then, Lu Ze used wind god art to take them into the cave behind.

  There were all sorts of strange stalactites inside.

  Lu Ze didn’t know whether there were beasts, so he didn’t even dare to use mental force in case a powerful boss found him.

  A furious roar sounded behind him. That beast had caught up.

  Lu Ze glanced back and disappeared with Lin Ling.

  If this was on flat grounds, he could easily throw that guy off.

  The two moved rapidly in the tunnels. If there were branches, Lu Ze chose left.

  Gradually, he couldn’t hear the roars anymore.

  Yet, they were successfully lost.

  This beast lair was much larger than they had imagined.

  Lu Ze had run a hundred kilometers but still didn’t see a repeating place.

  Nor did he see other beasts.

  Another half an hour later, Lu Ze looked dazedly at the tunnel.

  This maze was huge.

  He found a random place to put Lin Ling as he took out his phone. “We’ll make contact with the base first. I’ll see if there’s a signal here.”

  Quantum communication was very developed right now. You could reach most places in the galaxy if you had a connection.

  But there were always places in the universe that naturally distorted signals. ……

  for example, now.

  Lu Ze put his phone back helplessly. “There might be some field interference.”

  Lin Ling took out her phone too to check, but it had no signal either. She frowned. “It seems we can only find a way out first.”

  Lu Ze smiled. “Lin Ling, let’s eat first. So hungry.”

  Lin Ling rebuked seriously. “What time is it now and you’re still thinking about eating? Can you be more mature like me??”

  But when Lu Ze took out Alice’s food, the intense smell made Lin Ling shut up and sit next to Lu Ze.

  As they ate, Lu Ze asked, “Are your eyes fine?”

  Lin Ling nodded. “Light backlash. I probably can’t use it for three days.”

  Lu Ze nodded and breathed easy. “That’s good.”

  He was really worried something would happen to her. After all, he had a responsibility.

  Lin Ling glanced at Lu Ze and joked, “Oh, the foodie Lu Ze knows how to care about people?”

  Lu Ze’s mouth spasmed. “Your cultivation level is too weak, your body is weak too, your mental force is weak too. If you’re strong enough, you wouldn’t get backlashed.”

  Lin Ling’s smile faded.

  This bastard!

  Not everyone was him!

  Wasn’t she already improving very fast??

  Lin Ling ate two more bowls of food.

  After eating, Lu Ze checked around with wind god art and mental force. He found that in a few kilometer radius, there were no beasts.

  Thus, they found a place to hide and recover.

  They were both tired after fighting for a day.

  Lu Ze closed his eyes and entered the Pocket Hunting Dimension. The next moment, he opened his eyes again.

  There was a tear on the corner of his eye.

  He didn’t go in for long, and some huge boss crushed him from the sky.

  Today, he was Lu “Insect” Ze.

  Then, Lu Ze used red orbs to cultivate.

  Lin Ling was recovering, too.

  It was night at the base.

  Ye Mu and the rest were sent to help with the rescue.

  In a cave, Ian said worriedly, “I wonder how Ze and Lin Ling are going. The beasts inside seemed strong.”

  Ye Mu laughed. “Don’t worry, what can possibly happen to Ze? Perhaps the two are doing something happy right now.”

  Xavier laughed.

  The girls looked contemptuously at the lewd Ye Mu. Xuan Yuqi said coldly, “Do you think Ze is the same as you?”

  “I, I don’t think Ze is that sort of person……”

  “If you were to have a young duke title, it would be lewd young duke!”

  “Hehe, thank you, lewd young duke is still a young duke.” ……

  Six hours later, Lu Ze opened his eyes. Due to the spirit body, his spirit force cultivation had no bottleneck before the Mortal Evolution State. He was almost Abstruse Martial State level five now.

  However, this was still weak. He couldn’t even take care of a Core Martial State level nine beast. There would be even more powerful races in the future.

  He got up and looked at Lin Ling.

  When she closed her eyes, she looked softer and girl-like.

  However, she suddenly opened her eyes. Her eyes were still a bit dim.

  Seeing Lu Ze look at her, she winked, “What are you doing? Stalking me?”

  Lu Ze said speechlessly “.…… Let’s go, get out earlier.”

  Lin Ling smiled and got up. “Mhm.”

  Then, the two began their maze adventure again. ……

  Two days later, Ye Mu and the squad looked worriedly at the 45th tunnel.

  They had rescued all the other living miners and killed some beasts during this time.

  But Lu Ze still wasn’t out.

  Ian said, “Is he alright? He has no signal on his phone, too.”

  Ye Mu frowned. “He should be fine. Even if he can’t beat something, he can run away.”

  The highest level being on this planet was just near Aperture Opening State.

  At least up until now, it was.

  Xuan Yuqi said, “Perhaps they went inside a beast lair with no signal.”

  Yuantian Qianhua nodded. “That’s most likely.”

  Meanwhile, Lu Ze and Lin Ling have been walking around for more than a few thousand kilometers, but they still didn’t find the exit.

  They did encounter some black shell beasts, but they weren’t as strong as the large one.

  Just what lair was this??

  If they’re so good at digging, then why not dig the entire underground of the planet……

  Wait!

  Lu Ze thought of this possibility and looked at Lin Ling. “Lin Ling, do you think these beasts have dug the entire planet?”

  Lin Ling’s playful face was lifeless. “.……No way.”

  Lu Ze frowned. “Are you okay? Your face looks bad.”

  Lin Ling’s mouth spasmed. She hadn’t showered for two days and wanted to shower. But how could she say this?

  He would laugh to death!

  Lin Ling shook her head. “It’s fine, my god art can recover tomorrow. It would be easier then.”

  Lu Ze nodded. “Are you really fine?”

  “Really.”

  “Then, let’s go.”

  A few hours later, they went into a tunnel and then into a cave.

  Then, the two felt dazed.

  There were all sorts of metals and crystals inside, shining in different colors.

  However, on top laid a huge, black shell beast. It was completely different to the ones they had seen before. Its shell had waves of blue ripples. It was also a hundred meters long.

  When the two came in, the beast slowly lifted up its hideous head and looked coldly at the two.

  Lu Ze’s mouth spasmed. He showed a very polite smile. “Sorry boss, I didn’t know this was your home. Sorry for disturbing, we’ll leave immediately!”

  Then, Lu Ze swept up Lin Ling and ran.
