Chapter 1719 Looting Corpses Even Without Any (2)
"Looking at the overall situation, the delays happening in the left wing frontline clearly seem to be part of a scheme orchestrated by both sides."
"Each with their own purpose."
"Unfortunately, due to the lack of comprehensive information, we can't analyze what the true purpose of the central region is."
"But one thing is certain… with the scale of this war and such significant casualties, the objective must be of extremely strategic importance!"
Xu Qing pondered deeply.
Only by understanding the larger scope of the war could he better obtain what he needed within it.
"I am currently at the early stage of Quasi Immortal, and to reach the perfection stage, I need a vast amount of origin essence…"
"And time is running out."
"Everything must be expedited!"
Xu Qing muttered to himself, raising his hand to take out the origin essence he had collected along the way and began absorbing it.
Time slowly passed just like that.
Three months passed in the blink of an eye.
During these three months, in the war zone that the Nianlin Army was in charge of, there were several incidents like what happened on Gray Ridge Star.
Each time, before the patrol team arrived, the hidden gods were wiped out, and the origin essence was harvested.
The speed of combat and harvesting kept increasing, and the battlefield was left cleaner and cleaner after each operation.
Gradually, rumors began to spread within the multiple patrol teams.
The rumors spoke of a squad from another military regiment, crossing into the Nianlin Army's territory. This squad was said to be ruthless, equipped with a Corpse Looting Team, and every time they struck, it was quick, precise, and thorough.
This gradually led to strong dissatisfaction from the local Corpse Looting Teams in the area.
At the same time, it drew the attention of the higher-ups in the military regiment. However, just as they were preparing to investigate this mysterious squad in detail, it vanished and ceased to appear.
Due to the fact that similar things happened from time to time in various war zones, the Nianlin Army didn't probe too much after discovering that this team had disappeared.
Another reason was that the battles in this war zone were becoming more and more frequent.
At that moment, on a huge white star, a small-scale battle involving thousands of troops from both sides was erupting.
Explosions and roars rang out from afar.
Divine techniques and immortal arts emitted colorful lights that shone in all directions.
The battle between the two sides was extremely intense.
At the edge of the battlefield, on a huge white mountain, a few Corpse Looting Teams were waiting.
Among them was the old man who had guided Xu Qing and the others a few months ago.
Xu Qing and the others were also among them. At that moment, they were sitting cross-legged and meditating. They spread out their perception and probed the battle ahead.
While watching, different from the conservative cultivators of the Corpse Looting Team, Xu Qing and the other ascenders were feeling impatient.
During this time, they had gained a lot from hunting many times. Moreover, their collecting speed had clearly increased.
Their cultivation bases had increased.
However, the frequent outbreak of battles caused them to have no time to continue hunting. They could only participate in the corpse looting missions time and time again.
They had waited here for a long time but the battle between the two sides had fallen into a stalemate. It didn't look like there would be a victor within a short period.
Their eyes gleamed darkly as they looked at Xu Qing.
Xu Qing also frowned. In the past three months, the benefits from the origin essence had allowed his cultivation to increase. He was in a hurry to head to the next battlefield.
However, it was obvious that the battle here couldn't end for the time being.
After pondering for a moment, Xu Qing suddenly stood up and took a step forward.
The moment his footstep landed, the surrounding ascenders became excited and stood up one after another.
As for the other Corpse Looting Team not far away, they were quite surprised.
This was especially so for the old man who had guided Xu Qing. He looked over and was about to speak.
At the next instant, Xu Qing's speed suddenly erupted. Amidst the rumbling sounds, his entire person transformed into a rainbow that was like a sharp blade as he headed straight for the battlefield.
Behind him, Zhou Zhengli and the others also sped along without hesitation.
These dozens of people were like vultures and wolf packs, causing the hearts of the other Corpse Looting cultivators on the mountain peak to tremble.
The old man's eyes widened.
"Going in early? This…"
The old man exclaimed.
Before he could finish speaking, Xu Qing and the others had already forcefully descended from afar.
They barged into the battlefield!
In that instant, a deafening boom rang out clearly in their ears. The ripples of spells also surged into their bodies.
Xu Qing was the first to bear the brunt. His speed erupted, transforming into an afterimage as he shuttled through the battlefield and directly appeared beside a god corpse at the peak of the divine fire realm.
He raised his right hand and pressed it against the corpse's chest. In front of the many combatants in the surroundings, he began to collect origin essence on the battlefield!
As a large amount of origin essence was gathered, the god corpse rapidly withered.
As for the two sides fighting in the vicinity, after they used their peripheral vision and divine senses to investigate this scene, regardless of whether it was cultivators or gods, they were all stunned.
They had never seen such a thing.
Very soon, it wasn't just the two sides fighting around Xu Qing who were stunned. As Zhou Zhengli and the others arrived, these ascenders spread out and were all heading straight for the corpses.
Crazily collecting!
Their movements were skilled and their speed was extremely fast. After they finished harvesting one, they quickly pounced toward the other.
Hence, even more parties saw the incomparably strange scenes that happened on the battlefield.
Both sides were clearly fighting to the death, but such a group of people suddenly appeared and went to loot the corpses in front of them.
The cultivators' side felt that it was bizarre, but they were all humans after all. However, those gods were clearly agitated. Hence, those who were close immediately attacked.
However, these Corpse Looting Team members who had barged into the battlefield had clear targets. After encountering obstructions, they immediately gave up and left rapidly. They didn't fight zealously at all and went to search for the corpses of other gods.
On the battlefield, both sides were already in a deadlock. If They were distracted by these Corpse Looting Team members or chased after them, the Nianlin Army cultivators fighting against Them would immediately seize the opportunity.
As such, the god's side had no choice but to stop. In addition, the strength of these Corpse Looting cultivators wasn't ordinary, so they were like fish in water on the battlefield.
They crazily harvested the corpses of the gods one after another.
However, if that was the case, it would be fine. After all, there were only dozens of Corpse Looting cultivators who arrived, so the impact on the overall battlefield was very small.
However… very soon, a different scene appeared.
On the way to a god's corpse, in front of Xu Qing, there was a peak-stage Divine Fire god who was fighting to the death with a cultivator of the Nianlin Army.
The god's eyes were cold and Its divine technique was erupting. The origin essence in Its body was also rising, emitting an alluring feeling.
As for the Nianlin Army cultivator, his eyes were red and he was about to risk his life.
However, at the next instant, the vision of the cultivator and the god blurred.
Xu Qing's figure suddenly appeared in their vision.
Before they could react, Xu Qing, who had descended, had already grabbed the god's neck. The power of the immortal embryo surged up like a monstrous flood, surging into the god's body.
A mournful wail instantly rang out from the god's mouth. Its life force was instantly extinguished and Its neck directly collapsed with a boom.
It became a corpse.
Xu Qing squatted down and harvested while it was hot.
The Nianlin Army cultivator who was about to risk his life was stunned for a moment before gratitude appeared in his eyes.
This scene was noticed by Xie Lingzi. He licked his lips and also attacked a god that was fighting against another cultivator.
Forcefully harvesting the corpse.
Soon, the other ascenders started doing the same. All of them were like wolves and tigers as they attacked one after another.
If there were corpses beside them, they would harvest Them. If they encountered something tempting on the way, they would forcefully harvest Them.
If they could fight, they would fight. If they could launch a sneak attack, they would do so. If they couldn't win, they would immediately use life-saving methods to dodge without hesitation.
As such, waves gradually rose on the battlefield.
Although there weren't many waves at the start, as time passed and Xu Qing's team went crazy, this group of people slowly became the center of attention.
The commanders of both sides also sensed it.
Compared to the frowns of the gods, the peak-stage Quasi Immortal commander on the cultivators' side had a strange glint in his eyes.
As for the other members of the Corpse Looting Team, including the old man, on the distant mountain peak, their hearts were already pounding intensely and they were dumbfounded.
"Is this corpse-looting?"
One of his teammates mumbled.
"Yes, it's corpse-looting. I saw it clearly. They struck and immediately started looting the bodies…"
