Chapter 1070 Calculating (Seeking Subscriptions)_1

As soon as his words fell, the entire space suddenly resounded with chilling ghostly wails and wolf howls...

Furthermore, creatures with spirit force fluctuations were amassing in large numbers, attacking towards the location of Xu Sheng and the others...

In the dark, the silhouettes of their bodies could vaguely be seen, just

Xu Sheng's gaze sharpened as he looked towards Duanmu Lian and Zhou Qingruo and communicated via spirit voice transmission, "Qingruo, Miss Lian, quickly place all the treasures you've gotten into the box."

Upon hearing his words, both Zhou Qingruo and Duanmu Lian showed surprise on their faces, but their hands didn't stop moving, rapidly placing the treasures they had obtained into the box that emitted a strange glow...

In fact, all the treasures within the light screen carried a scent that attracted nearby monster beasts, which would quickly spread once taken out...

The reason Xu Sheng had taken this box was that it had the ability to shield spirit force fluctuations, allowing them to shake off the pursuit of those monster beasts!

As for the rest of the Elders, they weren't so lucky!!

The moment they caught sight of the monster beasts surging towards them, they couldn't help but inhale sharply and say...

One of the Elders exclaimed, "Hiss... there are so many monster beasts, wasn't it said that there are no traps here? Why is this happening?"

Another Elder furrowed his brow and said solemnly, "Stop wasting words, the cultivation level of these monster beasts is at the Immortal Monarch Realm. They are not comparable to the dry bones we faced before—if we collide with them, we definitely won't be able to handle it!"

"Elder Xu, you should hurry up and lead the way. If we delay any further, it will be too late!"

"Yes, yes, with so many Immortal Monarch Realm monster beasts, even if the Elders of our several major clans join forces, we might not be able to ensure a victory!"

Having said that, their eyes all turned anxiously towards Xu Sheng...

But who knew that the latter shook his head and said, "We have already been surrounded by countless monster beasts, escaping is almost impossible!!"

This wasn't a lie; the monster beasts indeed had sealed off their way! Moreover, following the other Elders would only lead to more beasts!

Hearing this, Duanmu Lian inquired with worry in her beautiful eyes, "Xu Sheng, what should we do then?"

Zhou Qingruo said coldly, "Why not take advantage of the fact that the monster beasts are still scattered and have everyone break away and flee separately!"

Xu Sheng nodded and replied, "Mhm! Just as Qingruo said, with so many Elders together, we are very likely to attract monster beasts. It's better for each family to separate!"

After hearing his words, these Elders showed hesitation on their faces...

"This... this Secret Realm is so vast, if we separate, it won't be that easy to find each other again!"

"It seems we only have this option. To flee separately is much better than being wiped out together by monster beasts!"

"Then let's do as Elder Xu says, the Elders of our families will escape separately. Everyone, be careful!"

After these words, the Elders all cast a deep look at Xu Sheng, then turned and went off in different directions...

With Xu Sheng's treasure-attracting ability gone, they couldn't help feeling a bit of regret in their hearts!

Seeing that everyone had left, Duanmu Lian then spoke, "Xu Sheng, we should hurry and escape too!"

Who knew that the corner of Xu Sheng's mouth would lift into a curve, "Escape? Why should we escape?"

Duanmu Lian was taken aback and said softly, "But you just said..."

Zhou Qingruo, who had seen through everything, said indifferently, "The box that Xu Sheng had us take can shield our aura! Once we put the treasures into it, those monster beasts have already excluded us from their targets!"

She didn't know what to say, only feeling that the current Xu Sheng was terrifying, as if he could control everything!

Realization dawned in Duanmu Lian's beautiful eyes, and she said joyfully, "I see! So, all of this was part of your plan, wasn't it, Xu Sheng?"

The two nearby Duanmu Family Elders were generous with their praise, saying, "As expected of Elder Xu, truly thoughtful and meticulous, nothing escapes your discerning eye!"

"That's right, with Elder Xu present, what worries do we have about not finding the treasure? As for the other Elders, hmph! They deserve it!!!"

Duanmu Lian cast a puzzled look toward Xu Sheng and asked, "Then, Xu Sheng, what is our next plan??"

Xu Sheng glanced at her, chuckled lightly, and said, "Do we even need to think about it? Naturally, it's to scour the Secret Realm for all its treasures!"

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but glance at each other, excitement quietly stirring in their hearts…

…

Not long after, most of the Elders were either severely injured or mercilessly hunted down and killed upon being caught!

One of the Elders from a clan angrily shouted, "Damn it!! Why are these Monster Beasts chasing us like mad? What on earth is happening?"

"Their eyes... it's as if they're saying we've taken something of theirs!"

"Something? Could it be that these Monster Beasts are pursuing us because of the treasures from the light screens?"

"Quick!! Everyone throw away the treasures you've got, saving your lives is what matters!!"

…

Another clan's Elders looked at the Monster Beast horde attacking them again, their faces turning ashen to the extreme…

"Damn it, we can't shake off these Monster Beasts; no matter where we flee, they seem to know our location like the back of their hand!!"

"I feel something's off; it's as if these Monster Beasts aren't after us, but after something else!"

"That's right! It must be the treasures from the light screens! Why else would these Monster Beasts appear all of a sudden and relentlessly chase after us once those treasures were taken?"

"So that's it! It must have been the Duanmu Clan Elders who deliberately didn't tell us!! Damn it!"

…

"Fellow Elders, quickly throw away the treasures you have on you! Otherwise, these Monster Beasts will attack again!!"

"But... we've finally obtained these treasures; isn't it a waste to throw them away?"

"Waste your damned head! We can hardly keep our lives safe now, and you're still concerned about treasures??"

"Throw them all away! Quick!!"

…

When the Elders of each clan had thrown away all the treasures they had obtained, they suddenly realized these Monster Beasts had completely lost interest in them…

At this moment, all the Elders realized they'd been played by Xu Sheng!

No wonder he had the major clans divide up so many treasures; it had all been a calculated move!!

Concealing the true situation, using these Monster Beasts to hunt them down! That was the Duanmu Clan's plan!

In the end, apart from the Duanmu Clan, people from the other major clans ended up injured and benefited nothing!

…

Meanwhile, Duanmu Lian and her people were vigorously scavenging the treasures within the Secret Realm, without any worry about traps…

Seeing this, Xu Sheng suddenly yawned, touched his nose and said, "They must have figured out the situation by now; next, it's best to avoid meeting them as much as possible…"
