Chapter 558: Should We Pursue Them?
People from other teams have also arrived near Base Alpha.
Now, there’s a faint trend of cooperation among the three teams.
All of them are now level 5 mages.
It’s fair to say that it’s been quite difficult for them to make it this far.
They didn’t have any Fierce Beasts; they had to rely on their own telekinesis, their own legs.
That’s why it took them so much time to finally catch up here.
When they first saw the prairie, they could hardly believe it.
At the foot of the mountains of Base Alpha, there are large patches of farmland cultivated by Gong Bin, Tian Ming, and Zhu Jun. Because Lu Ke and her team didn’t have the time for it, they had to leave it to Gong Bin and the others.
It must be said, with telekinesis, humans are in no way inferior to machines.
Recently, they have cultivated nearly a thousand acres of farmland.
Moreover, seeds have been sown in many areas, most of which have sprouted and started growing.
Chen Hui squatted down in one area, looking at the newly sprouted plants with amazement and said, "I can’t believe they have cultivated so much farmland here and the seeds have sprouted. Wonder what they’ve planted."
Li Kang looked at these plants and said, "It should be the vegetable seeds Xu Yi brought. When Xu Yi returned, he brought two cubic meters of seeds, practically a seed vault."
"That’s so many, it probably includes every type of vegetable. I bet the experience of eating vegetables from our own planet on an alien planet is fantastic," Chen Hui said with some anticipation, without any intention of returning to his own planet.
Here, telekinesis can be used, one can fly, one can fight.
Going back means treating patients every day, exhausted like a dog; how is that more meaningful than being here?
Even if he gave up on the challenge later, he wouldn’t want to return to his own planet.
"Let’s go, let’s check out the base inside." Saying this, Li Kang flew into the Meteorite Crater.
Inside the Meteorite Crater, Cheng Jie and Liu Li were negotiating.
After all, now that Cheng Jie and Liu Li formally took control here, they naturally had to inform Gong Bin and the others.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, a White-backed Giant Lizard let out a roar.
Then, everyone went prone.
Because their legs went weak, naturally, they went prone.
The worst off were Li Kang and his team, who fell from the sky like dumplings.
Over a hundred people fell without exception, all of them fell.
The might of a level 5 peak state is something that level 5 mages simply cannot resist.
"Conceal your aura." Cheng Jie raised her arm because she had two bracelets on it. Not only her but Liu Li also had two, with one left stored in Cheng Jie’s Star Chart.
The White-backed Giant Lizard heard Cheng Jie’s command and immediately concealed its aura, then lay back down.
Tian Ming looked pale, as he had just broken through to level 5, bearing the brunt of the shock.
He looked at the White-backed Giant Lizard with a complicated expression and said, "So terrifying, too terrifying. Is this the strength of a level 5 peak Fierce Beast? Just releasing a bit of aura makes us unable to resist?"
Liu Li nodded emphatically, her face showing some pride as she loudly said, "Yes, this is the strength of a level 5 peak Fierce Beast. So, with them around our Base Alpha, no Fierce Beast would dare cause trouble at our base."
Gong Bin also nodded, believing that as long as a level 5 Fierce Beast has any intelligence, it wouldn’t dare enter the base territory. If it did, once these level 5 peak Fierce Beasts get angry, those level 5 Fierce Beasts would just be delivering themselves as food.
With such security, he no longer had to worry about Li Kang and the others.
At this moment, Li Kang and Lei Jie had quite grim expressions; they never imagined such terrifying Fierce Beasts were inside this base.
A single roar sent them plummeting from the sky.
If it attacked, wouldn’t they all be dead?
Is a level 5 peak Fierce Beast truly this terrifying?
So, should he continue to challenge ahead?
Is there really a chance to complete the challenge if he persists?
Before, Li Kang never doubted himself.
But now, he started to doubt.
The higher the level suppression, the stronger the suppression.
This feeling is truly despairing.
Because the 500-day challenge essentially means facing Fierce Beasts higher in level than yours.
Technically, level 5 peak and level 5 are considered the same within the same level.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t be categorized only as level 5 and level 6.
"Excuse me, is Xu Yi here? We’d like to make a deal with Xu Yi." Li Kang put aside his pride and asked Cheng Jie.
He knew that even without these level 5 peak Fierce Beasts, the woman named Cheng Jie in front of him could easily take his life.
Li Kang still respected the strong.
"Xu Yi isn’t at this base. After selecting this base, he went to seek the territory of level 6 Fierce Beasts to enhance his strength," Cheng Jie explained, as this information isn’t really a secret and didn’t need to be concealed.
Li Kang nodded, having suspected as much.
He glanced at Gong Bin and the others, then asked, "Can we leave?"
Level 5 peak Fierce Beasts are too strong; he didn’t want to fall again.
"You can." Cheng Jie said, also not wanting Li Kang and the others at this base.
Upon receiving Cheng Jie’s permission, Li Kang flew up again.
Then, his subordinates immediately followed.
Without questioning why Cheng Jie and her team didn’t leave, Li Kang was concerned that if he asked too much, his subordinates might leave him to stay at the base.
So, before they could develop such thoughts, he hurriedly took them away.
Jerry also reacted immediately, flying out of the Meteorite Crater.
Lei Jie followed closely, flying out of the Meteorite Crater together.
Then, they flew in the direction Lu Ke and their group had left.
days have passed since Xu Yi selected the base.
Xu Yi himself was already strong and had a 33-day head start; who knows how strong Xu Yi might become.
But, besides fiercely catching up, is there any other way?
No!
If they don’t chase, the gap would only grow larger.
If they chase, there’s a chance the gap could be narrowed.
Thus, they didn’t linger at Base Alpha for even three minutes before leaving.
Did anyone want to stay?
Of course, some did but none of them actually stayed.
After all, they still had the option to give up the challenge.
If they gave up just like that, anyone would be unwilling.
Unless they didn’t have the option to give up. Considering their safety, they would stay, like Gong Bin and the others, as they had no choice.
If possible, maybe some would still insist.
What if they succeeded?
"Li Kang, judging by the situation, they should have left not long ago. Look at your Star Chart, the distance isn’t very far from us." Jerry came to Li Kang’s side, letting him take a look at his Star Chart.
Li Kang glanced at it, then loudly announced, "We have to hit the road again. I know everyone is tired and wants to rest. But do we have the right to rest?"
"No, because we’re too weak. If we want to become stronger, earn rich rewards, ensure our families live better on Spirit Blue Star, we can’t stop, can’t rest."
"So, should we chase?" Saying this, Li Kang glanced at everyone.
