248: A colossal beast? A Gu worm?

After more than ten minutes, seeing that the Master of Soul Severing Pavilion still showed no signs of waking up, the Master of the Dragon Python Society couldn't help but choose his bloodline.

"Mr. Tang, I choose the Ancient Mountain-Shaking Earthworm bloodline," the Master of the Dragon Python Society had already decided.

"Mm." Tang Ping handed the bloodline to the Master of the Dragon Python Society, and the remaining one was given to the Master of Soul Severing Pavilion. Neither of them hesitated any longer and began refining it on the spot. After all, refining it now, with Mr. Tang guarding them, was ideal. If they left here, finding such a safe environment again would not be easy.

As it was their first transaction, Tang Ping naturally wouldn't allow any accidents to occur while they refined the bloodlines in front of him.

The auras of the three soon attracted the attention of many others. These people knew what the three were doing, but their hearts were filled only with envy and jealousy. bloodline inheritance! From now on, perhaps Qingtian Base would see the emergence of three truly powerful inherited families!

Although these people couldn't obtain bloodlines, those with active minds were already looking for suitable women within their factions, or among friends and relatives, to send to the beds of the three faction masters.

Some people had even secretly decided to have more children in the future. If a talented girl appeared, she could marry into one of the three families, or even... perhaps pull off a trick.

It wasn't until three hours later that the three faction masters gradually woke up. The first to awaken was naturally the Master of Soul Severing Pavilion. The moment he opened his eyes, a giant beast phantom tens of meters tall appeared in the air. A roar instantly sent many Talent Users nearby flying dozens of meters away. Fortunately, the Master of Soul Severing Pavilion quickly retracted the phantom, preventing serious injuries.

The Master of Soul Severing Pavilion laughed heartily: "Hahaha, for everyone who was just sent flying, this Master will offer a hundred catties of fine rice as an apology."

The dozen or so people who had just been sent flying, who had originally dared not speak their anger, now offered their thanks.

"Haha, it's just a minor injury, how could it trouble the Master? Congratulations on your great increase in strength, Master."

A chorus of congratulations rang out. Soon, the other two also woke up. Tang Ping saw this and left. He wasn't curious about what abilities the three had gained, but he still had two bloodlines in his hand, and he would continue to acquire more in the coming days. Tang Ping's eyes flickered, and he had new uses in mind for these bloodlines.

In the mist, many chaotic auras appeared at this moment. Tang Ping stopped, knowing that Sister Xiao Cao was arriving with people.

Among them were four very powerful auras, not inferior to the three faction masters, including the Master of the Dragon Python Society, before they consumed the bloodlines.

"Four A-rank Talent Holders, that's not a small number."

Hundreds of people emerged from the mist and arrived at the river valley plain. None of these people had a Talent lower than D-rank; the lowest rank was 3.

"Sister Xiao Cao, did no S-rank appear in the base?"

"No." Miao Qingshi shook her head.

"What a pity. As expected, it's difficult for people who awaken using others' Shelters to acquire high-rank Talents." Tang Ping felt a bit regretful that out of over 20,000 people, not a single S-rank had appeared. However, it was good that there were still four A-ranks, which was not bad.

Compared to the joy of Tang Ping and his group, the other small factions were incredibly heavy-hearted. Although they had long known this outcome, facing the sudden increase of these powerhouses in the base, they clearly couldn't be happy.

As for the three major factions, including the Dragon Python Society, they were somewhat indifferent. Even when faced with the provocative gazes of the newly promoted A-rank Talent Holders, they merely shook their heads indifferently. They were no longer the A-rank Talent Holders they once were; the three giants of Qingtian Base remained the three giants.

Construction began in the river valley plain, while maintaining vigilance against the White-Haired People who could arrive at any time. More than ten days passed like this. Just when everyone thought the White-Haired People had truly migrated and would not return, another change occurred: the group of giants arrived.

"How many White-Haired People?" Miao Qingshi's expression was grave.

"Over three hundred." Tang Ping's Wings of Flame retracted, and he landed on the newly built city wall by an earth-element Talent User.

"Three hundred!" Li Tianheng clenched his fist. "That's eight or nine times more than last time, but our side has barely increased our high-end combat power."

"We can only fight for it." Old Man Xuanshan's heart was solemn. Such a number of White-Haired People was far beyond what he had expected. It seemed they truly couldn't be allowed to multiply any further. Qingtian Base was destined not to coexist with them under the same roof.

The more than four hundred people of Qingtian Base now stood at the edge of the city wall. Compared to last time, when several people dealt with one, this time, they couldn't even spare two people to deal with one.

Some Talent Users even wanted to flee. These people, after all, were just a makeshift group. It was imaginable that once the war began, many of them would directly escape.

Miao Qingshi and the others from Qingtian Base were well aware of this. In the face of an absolute disparity, no amount of benefit could stop others from leaving. Therefore, they had to act first and suppress those White-Haired People.

Miao Qingshi's eyes narrowed, and she threw out a misty white bead: "Get ready, attack!"

As the misty white bead rose, the mist within a thousand meters around it instantly dissipated, and the visibility became incredibly clear. Over a hundred White-Haired People had already appeared opposite, with more shadowy figures in the mist behind, clearly indicating many more White-Haired People. The sudden change also stunned this group of White-Haired People.

But what followed was a storm-like assault.

Among the White-Haired People who came this time, five had massive bodies, all exceeding four zhang, standing out prominently among the group of White-Haired People.

Accompanied by roars, five four-zhang White-Haired People, treading on the mist, charged forward with their terrifying bodies, giving people a sense of illusion and etherealness.

In front of Tang Ping, a misty python suddenly appeared on the White-Haired Person's body. The coiled misty snake's body length definitely exceeded thirty meters.

A Flowing Flame Palm over ten meters long slammed down fiercely towards the White-Haired Person.

The misty python roared and spat out white mist. The Flowing Flame Palm passed through the white mist, surprisingly shrinking to only about three meters, and was finally shattered by the White-Haired Person with a single punch. This was an attack Tang Ping had accumulated for a long time, but now it had no effect, which made his heart sink.

Looking in other directions, the other four were not gaining any advantage, and the three from the three major factions, including the Dragon Python Society, who were intercepting the fifth White-Haired Person powerhouse, were at an absolute disadvantage, being sent flying dozens of meters away by a white mist tiger.

On the battlefield, the superiority or inferiority of the two sides' high-end combat power was clear at a glance.

On the Qingtian Base side, many Talent Users quietly retreated, but Tang Ping's expression remained unchanged.

Within the Five Poisons Nest, some abnormally large Gu insects began to stir, their bodies exuding a wild, primitive aura, suppressing primal desires with low growls.
