Universe Infinite Canteen

Chapter 125: Chapter 125 Difficult Progress



```

The three members of the Twin Sunflower Hunting Group arrived 20 minutes early at Elevator No. 2, where Guli was already waiting.

Upon seeing that square face on the opposite side, Mai Mai couldn't help but narrow her eyes.

But Guli had already reached out his hand first, "Welcome back."

"I haven't returned to the Harpist," Mai Mai said, "I am now a member of the Twin Sunflower Hunting Group."

"I know," Guli seemed somewhat embarrassed, "about the past..."

"Let the past be the past." Mai Mai said, "I heard from Boggy that you are here to help us this time."

Guli nodded, "You don't need me to tell you about the situation above; you should also know how dangerous it is. Having one more person means one more bit of strength. Boggy is Captain Li's only kin, I can't just watch her put herself in danger."

After a pause, he added, "Actually, I still hope you'll reconsider your decision to return to the first level, there's still time to give up now."

"You've been with that child for quite some time, so you should know her character well, you know she won't be frightened by difficulties," Mai Mai said.

"Moreover, she is the same as her father. They both do the right thing, not the easy thing. That is also their biggest difference from you."

"Maybe so." Guli didn't argue, "But like you, no matter what she does, I will always support and protect her."

The conversation was not going anywhere, so after a brief exchange, both fell silent. After a while, Boggy also came back.

"I just spoke with Commander He. After we return to the first level, he is willing to give us 50 minutes to search for Ma Lu. After 50 minutes, whether we have found him or not, we must meet at the designated location with the team."

50 minutes was clearly not enough, even though the Giant Curtain wasn't too large and was subdivided into three levels. Normally, even walking from Elevator No. 2 to Boggy's apartment would only take a quarter of an hour.

But now that the first level had been taken over by those beasts, moving around wasn't so easy anymore. Even a short stretch of road might involve countless battles, and should they encounter some big creatures, time would become even tighter.

However, there was no choice. As the commander, He Chengyu bore the survival of the entire city, and his willingness to give the Twin Sunflower Hunting Group 50 minutes of free action time at such a time was already very bold.

And this was mainly thanks to his sister, He Yueji, who firmly believed that Ma Lu was still alive - even more certain than Boggy - and she had also persuaded He Chengyu that a living Ma Lu could provide powerful support to their action.

This eventually made He Chengyu agree to take the risk.

50 minutes was also the longest duration of independent activity that Boggy could negotiate.

The group did a final check of their equipment, then entered Elevator No. 2 together.

Apart from the three squads on the mission, many Hunters and magistrates were also waiting outside the elevator, mainly to guard against the wild beasts that might come down from above once the elevator shaft opened.

And once He Chengyu and the others were sent up, the elevator shaft would immediately close again. As for how the people above would come back, including all three squads, everyone deliberately ignored this issue.

Once everyone was in position, the 5-meter-thick steel plate above slowly opened to both sides.

The elevator began to ascend, but just as it reached halfway, A large group of Bloodsucking Tail Weasels came cascading down like dumplings dropped in boiling water.

They must have been attracted by the noise of the opening door and the elevator's motor starting up. But before they even hit the ground, they were chopped into pieces by the wind blades slashing towards them.

```

And some lucky enough fellows, although they managed to escape the sanction of the wind blades, would be crippled if they fell from such a height, if not dead.

The people inside the elevator watched the scene without changing their expressions. In order to preserve their psychic power to the maximum extent for the possibly intense battles ahead, nobody even made a move.

Those wind blades were all released by the Hunters below.

They were fortunate that they didn't alarm the large wild beasts until they reached the ground, but as soon as they emerged, they were noticed by three Earth Dragons.

Without any warning, the battle was imminent!

Chapter Explore:

The three small teams joined forces and took less than two minutes to deal with the closest Earth Dragon, and the remaining two were much easier to handle.

He Yueji didn't use her Petrifying Gaze, but relied on the cooperation of other team members, as well as the help of another small team, to easily take down another one.

The last one faced the Golden Sword alone, but was only half a minute slower than the others.

He Yueji glanced at Commander Hogan who was wielding his sword. His giant golden sword hadn't even been unsheathed as he forced the Earth Dragon to retreat, prompting her to snort coldly, "Show-off."

He Chengyu then admonished, "Be careful with your words and actions."

The normally fearless He Yueji actually fell silent upon hearing this.

After moving forward for a while, the three small teams split up, each choosing a direction to search for the special wild beast that could produce red sand.

He Chengyu specifically chose a direction close to Boggy's apartment and walked a bit further with the members of the Twin Sunflower Hunting Group before separating from them.

He Yueji also wanted to follow Boggy and the others, but she was stopped by He Chengyu and could only watch helplessly as the figures of Mai Mai and the rest disappeared at the end of the street.

To the side, He Chengyu asked, "Is that Ma Lu really as strong as you all say?"

"Of course, like Hogan, he has more than one psychic power." He Yueji replied casually, "Not just two, he can even use my Petrifying Gaze, and his physical skills are unimaginably strong."

"A mimicry type psychic power?"

"I'm not sure about that," He Yueji said. "Speaking of which, I've looked for him before, but ever since we executed that joint mission together, he's been whereabouts unknown. He's such a mysterious guy, but men really have to be mysterious to be charming."

"..."

On the other hand, Boggy and the others had just left the group and walked less than two hundred meters when they were attacked by a group of Desert Lynxes. Although not very strong, the Desert Lynxes were numerous, at least thirty strong.

It took the four of them nearly ten minutes to clear out these Desert Lynxes, but the noise from the fight and the smell of blood soon attracted six Three-humped Wolf Camels.

This time, the four didn't choose to confront them head-on but hid in a nearby house instead, sneaking away from the side as the Three-humped Wolf Camels fed on the Desert Lynx corpses.

However, they soon ran into an Emperor Redback Scorpion and its scorpion army. Luckily, Guli had scouted ahead and returned before the Emperor Redback Scorpion noticed him, then led everyone around two more streets, narrowly avoiding danger.

The price was another ten minutes wasted, but they hadn't gotten much closer to Boggy's apartment building.
