Chapter 148 The Heart of Gulansanx
After that night, Li Yelai calmed down his somewhat restless mind and threw himself into training.

After all, after achieving the fourth awakening, a psychic can master two psychic techniques. Although Li Yelai has not yet achieved the fourth awakening, he can first understand its theory so that he can quickly master it after achieving the fourth awakening.

When Li Yelai saw the doll again, her delicate and beautiful little face was puffed up with anger.

She pouted and complained softly, "Xiao Ye, why didn't you wake me up back then?"

She had actually been looking forward to playing games with Li Ye.

Of course, it's not that the game is fun, but rather that I have my own little schemes.

In reality, Li Yelai is a highly skilled spearman.

But in the game, he was a complete newbie, very unfamiliar with the game controls.

However, the doll is a veteran gamer, since it rarely goes out and basically only stays at home playing games during its rest time.

She is somewhat similar to a certain reclusive woman in her next-door neighbor's house who is willing to remain anonymous.

So, she wanted to find an opportunity to teach Li Ye how to operate it, just like the first time.
Hehe (*▽)
As a result, she was too tired that night and fell into a deep sleep before she could teach Li Ye the game.

She didn't even rest her head on Li Yelai's lap or shoulder before falling asleep.

So angry! ! !ヾ(｀Д)彡
What's even more infuriating is that Xiaoye didn't wake me up; instead, she put me on the bed, covered me with the blanket, and left. Just left.
Thinking of this, the doll's face flushed slightly.

She wondered if Xiaoye would do something like that while she was asleep.

Unfortunately, she also knew very well that Li Yelai was not that kind of person, and that if he really did something, she would probably wake up.

She pursed her cherry-colored lips, her gaze towards Li Yelai carrying a hint of evasion.

She felt she was so bad, so despicable.
"Go to sleep if you're sleepy. You can play games anytime," Li Yelai reassured the doll. "Also, don't be so unguarded when you're with someone of the opposite sex. How could you fall asleep when you're alone with someone of the opposite sex? What if someone tries to take advantage of you?"

Li Yelai spoke these words with utmost seriousness.

The dolls and the cheese were both so unsuspecting. Anyone else would have been taken advantage of long ago.

Li Yelai, on the other hand, was a seasoned spearman; thankfully, he was a spearman.
Recalling the restlessness in his heart at that time, Li Yelai complained again: "Remember that."

It's unclear what the doll remembered, but it nodded, its face slightly flushed, "Yeah, I feel relaxed around you. I don't feel that way with anyone else."

Then he put on the mascot headgear, picked up the advertising sign, and said, "[I'm going to train now (ω)]"
It skipped and hopped away from Li Yelai's sight.

"Why are you so easily startled?" Li Yelai complained to the girl as he watched her leave.

He walked out of the branch office and got into a car on a street corner, heading to the entire store.

Today is the day Li Yelai and Chu He will trade the Ancient Dragon Heart, so he needs to go to the safe house early to prepare.

Two hours later, he was about to arrive at the safe house.

The ticket in his arms began to vibrate slightly, as if urging him on.

'It seems Chuhe has arrived. Is it due to the time difference?' Li Yelai thought to himself. After the vehicle stopped, he quickly got out and ran into the safe house.

Inside the safe house, Li Yelai's supplies were all prepared.

In the basement, the golden armor that was originally soaked in nutrient solution has now disappeared without a trace.

After losing its final purpose, Captain Yin Huo invited Captain Yue Ying to deliver a devastating blow to the Golden Armor, reportedly leaving a metallic film on the surface of its corpse. Officials later safely extracted its mysterious substance from the collapsed Soul Well.

After that, all you need to do is trade the mysterious substance from the golden armor at the next gathering.

Thus, Jin Jia became a frontline Ark Citizen betrayed and killed by his subordinates, completely fading from the Ark's sight.

Inside the safe house, Yin Huo saw Li Yelai and quickly said, "If Chu He really comes from the Lost Lands, we can trade with him more. We don't have the kinds of extraordinary items there."

"Use mangrove sap?" Li Yelai asked.

“Yes, he is very lacking in life substances, which may be the reason why he has grown to this point.” Yin Huo laughed, “Otherwise, the heart of a seventh-level ancient dragon would not be so cheap.”

Li Yelai nodded. Gulansangs was a seventh-level overlord-level ancient dragon, and the price of his heart would exceed the price Li Yelai offered.

However, Chuhe needed the rare biological materials more, so both of them felt that they had made a huge profit from the transaction.

The authorities plan to offer more crimson sap and pure biomass for trade with Chuhe, in order to obtain materials from extraordinary creatures at a more favorable price.

Moreover, considering that Chuhe is located in a lost territory, the authorities also plan to sell some extraordinary medicines.

Since humans obtained large quantities of pure biomass, research into extraordinary drugs has made significant breakthroughs. Chu He might also need one.

Although Chuhe is an Ark voter, he has not yet shown any anti-Giant City behavior.

It's currently speculated that a cooperative relationship is still possible. The official plan is to obtain more materials from the Lost Lands through him, which gives him a stable source of life-sustaining substances. It's a win-win situation.

"I understand." Li Yelai nodded, then put on his suit and copper mask.

Pick up your ticket and begin to respond.

As his spiritual energy was absorbed by the ticket, Li Yelai quickly felt weightlessness, and a dazzling white light flashed before his eyes.

A few seconds later, the feeling of weightlessness and the light disappeared, and Li Yelai found himself inside the ark.

Inside the hall that Fangzhou was holding, there was already a figure.

It was Chu He, standing by the wall, looking at the third painting on it.

In that painting, the blue flames became even more conspicuous.

As Li Yelai arrived, Chu He turned to look at him.

His 2.3-meter height was extremely imposing, but Li Ye noticed that his cloak was tattered and stained with a lot of blood.

"You've finally arrived, Copperface," Chu He chuckled.

"Lord Chuhe," Li Yelai greeted him, "how are your injuries?"

"Hey, I underestimated Gulansax's keen senses. That guy attacked me from five kilometers away." Chu He clicked his tongue and said, "I was forced to absorb the Crimson Tree Sap to recover some of my injuries, otherwise I wouldn't have had the strength to help you find the Heavenly Comet Qilin."

"You have already killed Gulansanks?" Li Yelai asked.

"Yes, otherwise why would I be in such a hurry to wait for you to come?" Chu He laughed. "I just killed him not long ago, and my current physical location is in the lair of Gulansanx."

"Inside the nest?" Li Yelai was somewhat surprised, as entering the Ark would cause one to leave the physical world.

Therefore, most of the Ark voters will enter the Ark from a safe area.

Chuhe was quite bold; he dared to kill Gulansangs and then directly enter the Ark from its lair.

“There’s no need for such a rush. It would be better to enter the Ark from a safe place,” Li Yelai said. “No need for such formalities. We are both Ark voters. We are both human,” Chu He laughed. “As for a safe place, we don’t have any giant cities, so there is no safe place at all. You live in the world of order, so perhaps you don’t understand the terror of the Lost Lands.”

"Alright, now that you're here, let's begin the transaction." Chu He raised his hand, and a huge, blood-stained heart covered in black and red scales appeared on his shoulder.

The heart seemed to still be alive, even though it had been removed, it was still faintly beating.

Its heart alone is even larger than Chu He's body.

"Is this the heart of Gulansangs? How big is its body?" Li Yelai asked in surprise, and then took out pure biomass and crimson sap.

"A few hundred meters, I guess?" Chu He shook his head. "When facing it, there's no time to estimate its size. I can only look for an opportunity to rush in front of it amidst the crimson lightning. Once it dies, I'll dig out its heart and bring it to you. If you want to know, I'll take some measurements later and tell you the data at the next gathering."

“If it’s not too much trouble. Also, I’d like to know some information about Gransanx’s abilities. There’s no data on such an existence on your ‘menu’,” Li Ye said.

“There aren’t many of these ancient dragons, and they’re all very powerful. I’m not arrogant enough to hunt down overlords at will. I’ll add them to the list when I become a psychic supreme being.” Chu He replied, “However, since you want to know, you’ll have to wait here for a while while I compile an information report on Gransanx’s abilities for you.”

"Thank you. As for the reward," Li Yelai thought for a moment and then took out another ten kilograms of mangrove sap.

Chu He nodded with satisfaction: "You really know what you're doing!"

The two then successfully completed the transaction.

Chuhe successfully obtained the remaining mangrove sap and pure biomass.

On the table in front of Li Yelai, there appeared a huge heart.

Being so close to this heart, even just hearing the faint sound of its remaining beat, made Li Yelai's heart pound with fear.

It's hard to imagine how terrifying its power would have been when it was alive.

However, this ancient dragon was cleanly and efficiently killed by Chu He in front of him.

Chu He's strength is estimated to be slightly greater than that of Sword Madman!
This is the Seventh Awakening Overlord!

I wonder when I'll be able to reach that level?
Li Yelai was deep in thought, while Chu He disappeared for a while before returning to the Ark Hall.

He approached Li Yelai, took out several photos, and handed them to Li Yelai, saying, "These are photos taken by my companion from a distance."

Li Yelai got up and took the photo.

The photo appears to be taken far from the battlefield, but the enormous ancient dragon is still clearly visible.

A colossal ancient dragon stands atop the mountain, seemingly the embodiment of the ancient mountain itself.

Its body meanders like a mountain range, and its dark golden scales make it appear ancient and solemn.

Its forelimbs are raised, each claw as sharp as a knife.

Two enormous, crimson lightning spears appeared in his hands, and countless crimson lightning bolts appeared in the sky, converging on the spears.

It was as if it was about to throw that terrifying lightning spear in a certain direction.

As expected of someone known as the God of Thunder by the natives of the restricted area, Gransanx is indeed domineering!
Li Ye looked at the second photo; Gulansangs had already thrown his thunder spear, and the mountain in the corner of the photo was mercilessly shattered.

"Where are you?" Li Yelai asked.

"I'm right here on this mountain peak," Chu He clicked his tongue.

The third photo, taken from a closer distance, is even more stunning.

On the left side of the photo, Gulansanks wields a massive crimson lightning blade, slashing down and cleaving through a nearby mountain peak.

On the right side of the photo, Chu He leaps into the air, wielding a giant sword, with a massive beam of light also appearing from the sword.

The moment the two were about to collide was captured by the photographer.

The image then freezes at this point.

The fourth photo shows a chaotic interplay of lightning, revealing only the massive figure of Gulansanx beneath the countless bolts of lightning. Chuhe is nowhere to be seen.

"Are these enough photos?" Chu He asked.

“That’s enough, thank you.” Li Yelai replied, offering ten kilograms of scarlet sap: “I look forward to our next meeting.”

"Of course." Chu He nodded, then asked, "Hey, is Golden Armor dead?"

Li Yelai shrugged slightly and remained silent.

Chu He smiled and said, "Looks like you've succeeded. You're ruthless, kid. Well, that's good. You'd better keep your ticket with you. Once I successfully hunt the Heavenly Comet Qilin, I'll come directly to you to trade."

“Alright, Lord Chuhe.” Li Yelai nodded. “I will continue to ‘order’ from you later, and we’ll use scarlet sap or extraordinary drugs as the basis for the transactions.”

Chu He paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "You have a good eye. I do need these things. Feel free to continue 'ordering'."

"Well then, farewell, Lord Chuhe," Li Yelai said with a smile.

"Okay." Chu He nodded. "See you next time, it won't be long. I'll be going to find the Heavenly Wisdom Qilin soon."

Li Yelai nodded and pressed down on the dragon's heart.

The next second, it disappeared into the Ark Hall.

Chu He, however, looked at the third painting on the wall, his expression unreadable. A few seconds later, he too left the Ark Hall.

In the lost land, Chu He, sitting on the corpse of an ancient dragon, opened his eyes.

He looked at his companions in the distance: "How is it? Gulansanx is dead, and the passage to that shelter is open. Have you been able to contact them?"

He was met with a deathly silence.

After a long silence, someone finally spoke in a low voice: "It's too late. The shelter was breached more than a decade ago. On this continent, we may be the only ones left who are still alive as humans."

His words were filled with despair.

They wanted to find their companions, to find the shelters scattered in every corner of the world. If possible, they would form a new resistance force.

But they have never succeeded over the years. Most of the humans in the shelters have long since disappeared.

They either become slaves to the forbidden zone, their bodies and minds bound by its rules and regulations.

They either died on the battlefield, becoming food for countless supernatural creatures.

In this vast, lost land, it seemed that only they were clinging to life and living cautiously.

Chu He remained silent, then stood up and said, "I haven't reached the point of despair yet. I will eventually become the supreme ruler! I will become a monarch!"
