Chapter 384: Shi Zhuan's Conspiracy, Catastrophe for the Human Clan!_2
"Even if he didn't die, he shouldn't be as strong as you are now."
The youth from the Thunder Element Spirit Clan said, his eyes brimming with a chilling gleam: "Gather all the latter stage Great Liang people you can today, and together, we'll enter the Human Clan Grotto Heaven and eliminate the humans!"
"Yes!"
…
…
"The front should be Thunderstorm Canyon."
After nearly a day's journey, Jiang Yuan and his group finally arrived at Thunderstorm Canyon.
The main issue was that they encountered quite a few members of the Elemental Spirit Clan along the way, and the battles were quite time-consuming; otherwise, they would have arrived much earlier.
Looking at Thunderstorm Canyon in front of him, Jiang Yuan also felt somewhat sentimental.
The path before was a trail in the mountains, a crevice between two large mountains.
This canyon looked as if a great mountain had been split open from the middle, leaving a chasm behind.
The rocks on both sides of the canyon walls were full of purple stones.
These stones could absorb and release electricity but had no other use, thus could not be applied to cards, so nobody bothered with them.
Above Thunderstorm Canyon was a stretch of dark clouds, not looking like rain, but rather, with incessant lightning and thunder.
Lightning strikes were absorbed by the purple stones on the walls of the canyon and then released.
This results in Thunderstorm Canyon being electrified almost everywhere, and even just passing through would make one feel a tingling sensation all over.
Of course, this was only the case for the Human Clan; for members of the Thunder Element Spirit Clan, this was a very good environment.
Theoretically speaking, the Thunder Element Spirit Clan fighting here would never lack Star Power.
The constantly emerging lightning could help them replenish their Star Power, and they could also use the thunder and lightning inherent in the terrain to launch attacks.
On average, every Thunder Attribute attack in this kind of terrain could increase its power by about twenty percent.
This was already a very terrifying figure, after all, this bonus applied to all members of the Thunder Element Spirit Clan.
This also resulted in needing not only more people from the Human Clan in this place but also individuals with great strength.
"I wonder when the Thunder Fluid Marrow will refresh."
After laughing, Jiang Yuan lifted his leg and walked inside.
This direction into Thunderstorm Canyon would shortly lead to the Human Clan's gathering base.
Basically, no member of the Elemental Spirit Clan would enter from this direction.
There had been Elemental Spirit Clan members who tried to circumvent this path, attempting a pincer attack on the Human Clan, but in the end, the result was...
Defending against the Thunder Element Spirit Clan members from one side and relying on the special entrance and exit of Thunderstorm Canyon to fend off the Elemental Spirit Clan members encircling from behind.
The terrain of the entrance and exit of Thunderstorm Canyon could be described as: One man can hold the pass against ten thousand.
"We need to verify your identity; please come this way."
Just as he entered the canyon, a head suddenly popped out from the rocks beside the canyon and said to Jiang Yuan.
"Oh, sure."
Jiang Yuan nodded and followed the man to the side, and with the glimmer of a Purple Quality Card, Jiang Yuan's identity as a member of the Human Clan was confirmed.
"What about them?"
"They are my Card Spirits."
Seeing the middle-aged man in front of him prompting the question, Jiang Yuan quickly explained.
"Card Spirits?"
The middle-aged man was startled for a moment, then immediately reacted: "Are you, Jiang Yuan?"
"Yes."
Jiang Yuan nodded slightly embarrassed, not expecting the man in front of him to recognize him.
"Alright, then there's no problem."
The middle-aged man smiled and patted Jiang Yuan on the shoulder: "You're here for the Thunder Fluid Marrow too, right? However, it will take three more days for it to regrow."
Thunder Fluid Marrow, one of Jiang Yuan's goals.
It grows once every half a year, producing three portions at a time, a kind of blue quality heavenly material and earthly treasure.
However, the effect is very good—it's the kind that can improve physical fitness. So even though it's only a blue quality treasure, there are always people waiting here in Thunderstorm Canyon for it to finish growing.
However, to be serious, Thunder Fluid Marrow isn't actually something that grows.
It forms from lightning constantly gathering at a special location, and then for some special reasons, it turns into a liquid, and thus drips down.
It comes out from within the mountains, and no one knows what exactly causes the Thunder Fluid Marrow to form.
But then again, no one would break open the mountains to find out.
After all, it's no different than killing the goose that lays the golden eggs, even if someone wanted to do that, others would stop them.
"Three days, huh? Looks like I've arrived just in time."
"Indeed, but these few days, due to the Thunder Fluid Marrow being almost ready for harvest, a continuous stream of humans from the Human Clan and the Thunder Element Spirit Clan will be arriving."
The middle-aged man said and couldn't help but sigh: "The battles are about to start again."
"Given that it's a Grotto Heaven, even without Thunder Fluid Marrow as a catalyst, there would never be a shortage of battles."
"That's true."
After nodding, Jiang Yuan spoke again, "By the way, bro, I'm asking around for something, do you know who has Thunder Light Radish? That's also one of my targets this time."
"Thunder Light Radish?"
The middle-aged man in front thought about it for a while and then shook his head, "Not sure, the humans on our side probably don't have it, or if they do, I'm unaware. But you can ask around, maybe someone else knows."
After saying that, the older brother saw another group of humans from the Human Clan arrive, so he quickly waved to Jiang Yuan before going over to verify the newcomers' identities.
"Speaking of which, do I also need a skill that can see through disguises?" Jiang Yuan thought to himself as he stroked his chin after seeing this scene.
For example, the Heavenly Eye of the Erlang God, the Eyes of Golden Flame, and the Golden Truth Eye, all these eye-related skills could see through disguises.
"Forget it, I'll talk about it when I get back."
In the end, Jiang Yuan shook his head. Every time he had a new idea, it was himself who ended up suffering and toiling.
Thinking of the many cards he still hadn't crafted, Jiang Yuan felt somewhat exhausted.
After passing the inspection, it wasn't long before he reached the gathering place of the Human Clan.
It looked quite lively; as soon as Jiang Yuan arrived, someone waved at him and asked which academy he was from.
"From Zhongyuan Academy."
"Yo, someone from Zhongyuan Academy over here."
Hearing the name Zhongyuan Academy, someone from another small group lifted their head and waved Jiang Yuan over.
"Jiang Yuan?"
At this moment, someone had already recognized Jiang Yuan's identity.
After all, most from Zhongyuan Academy were present at the Joint Examination of the four schools.
And so were they, coming into the Grotto Heaven right after the Joint Examination had ended.
"How long have you guys been here?"
Jiang Yuan waved to the others, and after exchanging greetings, he joined the small circle of Zhongyuan Academy.
As for Jiang Yuan's reputation, it was now quite good.
Of course, it was within the power rankings of Great Liang and below.
So apart from the people of Zhongyuan Academy, some from other academies recognized Jiang Yuan as well.
But after all, unlike Zhongyuan Academy, which had a medium of communication, there weren't many who took the initiative to speak up.
"By the way, let me introduce myself, I was ranked within the top hundred in the second battlefield of the recent Joint Examination, although we haven't met."
Just as Jiang Yuan arrived, a muscular man laughed heartily and spoke to Jiang Yuan, "I came to the Grotto Heaven right after the Joint Examination ended, and they all did the same, at most two days after me."
There weren't many from Zhongyuan Academy here, since the Joint Examination had just recently concluded.
But even so, there were nearly twenty people in this small circle from Zhongyuan Academy alone.
"Are you also here for the Thunder Fluid Marrow?"
After getting to know each other, Xiong Peikang curiously asked Jiang Yuan.
Xiong Peikang was that muscular man.
"Partly, you might say it's coincidence that I'm here, my main target is Thunder Light Radish."
Jiang Yuan did not hide his intentions and directly asked, "Do you guys know who has it? If possible, I'd like to buy it."
"It seems like..."
