Chapter 16 - 16: 016 Riot_1
Searching for the dragon vein and setting up formations to build a blessed land were tedious tasks that would take a lot of time.
Thus, Family Head Su Peng stayed in the medicine garden for half a day before leaving for River City.
Su Yu merely glanced at the old man from far away when he arrived, then continued his daily work and cultivation in the medicine garden.
It would take at least a month for a first-order Land Master to find the dragon vein and construct a blessed land.
Even slower, it would possibly take two or three months.
He was not overly curious, and he already knew about Land Masters, so there was no need to pay too much attention.
Because of the Land Master’s arrival, the only female elder of the family, Fourth Elder Su Ruosu, came to the medicine garden to guard it together with the Third Elder.
The Spirit Vein was the most important matter for the Su Family in the upcoming times, and they couldn’t afford to be careless.
Half a month after the Land Master’s arrival, Su Yu was in his house.
Su Yu was producing some beast-attracting powder. He had collected some sufficiently aged materials during this period and was thinking if he could hunt a late-stage first-order earth rock rat.
He had previously attempted to do so, but unfortunately, he had not been successful in luring the rats out.
“Let’s try again tonight.” Su Yu increased the dose of the medicine. Now, the family had begun searching for the core of the Spirit Vein and was constructing a blessed land.
So, he thought about whether he should hunt more earth rock rats recently. Ideally, they should completely eliminate the earth rock rats from this Spirit Vein.
With the improvement in his Body Refinement Realm, the earth rock rats were not very helpful to him.
The most they could do was help him earn some Spirit Stones for cultivation from the family.
And he could foresee that in a little over a year, he would leave the medicine garden to become an apprentice in Alchemy.
Therefore, he naturally couldn’t be keeping these earth rock rats.
He produced a total of twenty portions of the beast-attracting powder, five of which were even sufficient to attract a late-stage first-order earth rock rat.
When it was late at night, Su Yu quietly left his house and went to a secluded medicine garden.
He distributed the twenty portions of Spirit Rice mixed with the beast-attracting powder across several different places.
Just as he was thinking about returning to his room to wait, he suddenly caught a faint odor in the air.
This smell was a bit familiar, similar to the beast-attracting powder but different.
“What is this?” Su Yu frowned slightly, feeling puzzled.
“Ring!”
“Boom!”
Su Yu had only walked halfway when a shrill bell rang throughout the medicine garden. As the sound of the bell spread across the garden, the ground beneath the garden shook slightly.
Feeling this commotion, even if Su Yu didn’t know what was happening, he knew that something was about to happen in the medicine garden!
Su Yu’s complexion changed. He wanted to rush back to the mansion where the Third and Fourth Elders were stationed. All the cultivators from the Su Family were there as well, which was the safest place in the medicine garden.
If that place was not safe, then he would be even more unsafe here.
But before he could get far, noises of mouse squeaks came from different parts of the medicine garden.
Near Su Yu, two earth rock rats suddenly emerged from the ground. One was over a foot long, a first-order early stage monster, and the other one barely reached two feet, already attaining the level of a first-order mid-stage monster.
Under the dim moonlight, the two emerging earth rock rats were raging, their eyes turning blood red, their aura extremely violent.
“Squeak Squeak Squeak!!!”
As soon as they emerged.
Sensing the aura of Su Yu, a member of the Human Clan, the two earth rock rats immediately charged towards him.
Their black fur completely blended into the night. The earth rock rats moved at an extremely fast speed and quickly reached Su Yu’s side in the blink of an eye.
However, the next moment, the eyes of the two earth rock rat monsters suddenly widened.
A chilling terror overtook him, sending his whole body into an uncontrollable tremble as if faced with a fearsome beast.
Buzz!
Within Su Yu’s body, the formidable power of the Body Refinement Realm, hidden deep within, exploded instantly, his fists enveloped in a bloody glow.
A hazy blood mist shrouded his entire body. Under the night sky, he appeared as a monstrous alligator demon, swinging its claws.
“Boom! Boom!”
His fists instantly landed on two earth rock rats.
The rock rats, stunned by Su Yu’s intimidating aura, didn’t dare to dodge. Trembling with fear, they took the direct hit of his fists.
Blood splattered into a bloody mist, and the cracking sounds of crushed bones resonated from within the rock rats’ bodies. The rock rats were flung a dozen yards away in the darkness, crashing into another medicinal field, kicking up dirt and creating two craters.
Both rock rats, including the mid-stage first-level monster, had been instantly slain by a single punch.
After killing the two rock rats, Su Yu finally took a look at the whole medicinal garden. What he saw made his heart skip a beat.
“Squeak Squeak!!!”
There were enraged, shrill cries of rock rats from all directions around the medicinal garden.
It seemed as if the entire group of rock rats in the Spirit Vein had been roused and provoked. At this moment, numerous monsters were charging towards the grand manor.
Despite hunting rock rats every now and then over the past year, Su Yu saw at least two hundred rock rats burst out from the ground.
There were even a few rock rats emanating an extremely terrifying aura, that of late-stage first-level monsters.
Seeing those fearsome rock rat monsters rushing towards the grand manor, Su Yu’s pupils contracted in shock and he thought angrily, “Who incited this uprising of the rock rat monster group?”
In that moment, some suspects floated to the top of Su Yu’s mind.
First were the Land Master and his few disciples who had not been at the medicinal garden for long.
Next, it was the Lin Family.
Lastly, it could be a potential traitor within their Su Family.
However, these thoughts just flashed past his mind. Seeing the countless rock rats charging towards the manor, Su Yu’s face changed and, gritting his teeth, he turned and darted towards the trap he had just laid.
Out of the twenty packets of beast-attractant powder, six had been consumed and the enraged rats who ate them were currently lying on the ground in a daze, as if drunken.
Su Yu killed them all with one punch each.
The remaining fourteen packets of beast-attractant powder, including the four packets of potent beast-attractant powder, were all retrieved by Su Yu.
Whoosh!
Constraining his aura to the extreme, Su Yu quietly sneaked towards the grand manor.
Fortunately, the Green Wood Year Ring Skill, which he had cultivated by transformation, was particularly strong in concealment. Once he concealed his aura, Su Yu seemed just like an ordinary tree.
Even the rock rats rushing past nearby could not detect him.
The Grand Manor.
Buzz!
Layers of formations were triggered and activated, but not long after, one of the nodes of these layers of formations exploded with a bang, and the formation flag burst.
Some formations directly failed, while others lost much of their power and were shaking like an unsteady current, completely unusable.
The Third Elder Su Chang, who was in charge of the formations, saw this and his face changed drastically. A murderous look in his eyes, he shouted forcefully, “Where is Land Master Guo!?”
Whoosh!
The beautiful Fourth Elder Su Ruosu rushed over, her face looking extremely upset as she said, “Guo and his disciples are missing. The problems with the manor’s formations are likely their doing.”
Hearing this, and seeing countless rock rats rushing from all sides, Su Chang’s face changed again as he considered a certain possibility.
“The Lin Family? That’s bad!”
