I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early-Chapter 330 - 251: The Shock of the Innate Grandmaster

"This isn’t bad news, if it really is Emperor Shi causing trouble, maybe we could actually bomb him to death..." Lu Yuan stroked his chin.

"Bai Ba!" The Sky Fortress descended from the sky, becoming visible from its cloaking state.

Seeing this balloon-shaped giant insect, the people hiding in the house were startled and gripped their weapons tightly.

Lu Yuan said, "Don’t worry. This is a beast pet from Sky City, it’s not aggressive, it’s a kind of... transport."

"If you are willing, please take the children here back to Sky City. It is really pitiful to leave them here."

"Sky Fortress, follow their commands."

"Bai Ba!" The Sky Fortress lacked combat ability, but it was quite clever.

It opened a pouch, gesturing for the group to move the babies onto it.

"I’ll leave this to you all!" After saying this, Lu Yuan turned and left.

After all, time was extremely limited, the longer the delay, the higher the chance of being discovered.

...

"Big brother, what should we do?"

"Can he... really fight them alone?" Watching Lu Yuan’s retreating figure, the Jin Family’s five brothers discussed softly.

Even an Innate Grandmaster is no match for a monster’s single blow, could there be stronger warriors in the world?

They could not imagine such.

Then glanced at that balloon insect again, the lead Jin Zhuliang steeled himself and crawled over.

The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.

The insect was quite docile, its abdomen had a gap, and inside it was like a blanket, surprisingly spacious and comfortable.

"We have no other choice, a drowning man will clutch at a straw," the five began transporting the babies nonstop.

"Hiss!" Serving as a logistical insect, the Sky Fortress was very attentive, releasing a sweet, nourishing gas.

The children, upon smelling this odor, could slightly replenish their nutrition and enter a quiet sleep.

"Big brother, it seems it’s not poison gas..."

"We have no choice."

After thousands of children were moved, the "Sky Fortress" stirred a bit, seemingly viewing this only as an appetizer since there was still plenty of space inside, "Bai Ba!"

"Hmm?"

"Is this telling us to bring more children in?"

"Bai Ba!" The insect then turned out another empty pouch.

It even performed the "enlargement" trick, swelling significantly within just a few minutes.

The Sky Fortress could indeed carry the existence of a Leviathan Giant Worm.

A few thousand small children, adding up to about ten tons, were really just a drop in the bucket.

The Great Grandmasters too sensed this emotion, somewhat shocked at heart; even a pet was so intelligent, then... how strong must the Sky City be in battle with monsters?

"There should be similar infant nurseries in the capital, right?" the lead Jin Zhuliang said.

"Yes, yes! I know a few more locations."

The group considered it briefly; since that brave individual had gone to face the chief culprit alone, they had nothing to fear, they were going to move all the babies in the city out!

...

...

In the quiet city, Lu Yuan walked very carefully.

[Why did the monsters kill the adults but leave the children?]

"Maybe because children are more malleable?" Lu Yuan speculated.

"Don’t worry, they will definitely rescue the children. Seeing them dare to come out and resist is already quite remarkable."

Old Cat sighed softly, "Why leave the children?"

The answer was simple, breeding intelligent life, could yield stable and long-term benefits.

Naturally, keeping humans like animals in a pen wouldn’t be very beneficial.

Because the value of Divine Attribute increases exponentially.

A 15-Point Spirit soul is 59,049 times more valuable than a 5-Point Spirit.

If a person does not receive any education nor cultivate afterwards, they are no different from ordinary livestock; their Spirit won’t be high.

Below 3 Points of Spirit, utterly worthless.

Only by maintaining a stable society, providing continuous education, can humans be harvested like leeks, batch after batch.

But... how cruel that is.

Lu Yuan and Old Cat, understanding each other, said nothing... of course, the clever Conch might have guessed too, merely keeping it to itself.

"If by that rationale, destroying a civilization yields far more abilities than nurturing one."

After all, nurturing is troublesome; how long does it take to nurture a 15-Point Spirit master?

Lu Yuan envisioned a ruthless Pangu Continent in his mind.

"This isn’t much different from the Dark Forest..."

...

The Royal Tomb, located in the southeastern corner of the city, was situated against a mountain and beside water, right below a small hill.

The Mandala Empire might have a culture similar to geomancy, with the mountain as yang and the water as yin.

Standing on the hillside and looking down, a deceitful force distorted the light, making that area darker than others.

Lu Yuan frowned, feeling a cold chill, goosebumps involuntarily rising all over his body.

He snorted internally, "Field?"

Those capable of activating a field were indeed super powerful beings.

"In this situation, someone still dared to launch a suicide attack; the Mandala Empire does have its heroes," he remarked.

Of course, Lu Yuan didn’t care about this; even if the Power of Idealism was strong, could it really interfere with pure physical rules?

He climbed to the top of the hill and took a mortar out from his Storage Space, stuffing a depleted uranium shell into it.

There were three shells in total, one of which was inside Old Cat’s stomach.

He could only use two.

Lu Yuan used the "Far-Sighted Cornea" and spotted the central mausoleum with a large altar.

Placed above the altar was a bronze coffin.

Beneath it was something akin to a blood pool, pitch-black within; it might have been dried blood, with piles of bones beneath it.

The unknown field originated from the bronze coffin.

Gorgeous talisman paper was stuck on the coffin, not engravings.

Pus continuously oozed from the crevices, emitting a somewhat foul smell even at a glance.

"What the hell is this..." Lu Yuan decided there was no point in observing further since he couldn’t understand the principles anyway.

He aimed the mortar directly at the coffin, calculating the trajectory in his mind.

The combination of his Engraving talent and Craftsmanship enabled him to compute precisely. Together with the calculations from Old Cat and the conch, he adjusted the angle of the barrel and pulled the trigger.

"Boom!!!"

The mortar roared, exploding loudly in the distance.

Lu Yuan clenched his teeth as his head throbbed intensely.

The power of this depleted uranium shell was unlike that of normal shells. The Rize Civilization had added something to it; it was like a mini nuclear bomb, unleashing a huge mushroom cloud.

Nuclear radiation hit his mask and seeped through gaps in his armor, bringing a searing pain.

Verse penned by an unknown poet flashed through Lu Yuan’s mind, "If a thousand suns were to shine at once in the sky, humanity would perish, the earth would suffer, and I would become the harbinger of death, the destroyer of all things!"

The bronze coffin was blown to smithereens by the blast. A withered hand stretched out from it.

The flesh on its surface was blasted into a pulp, revealing ghastly white bones, and even the dark gray field was obliterated.

The creature was hit by the shell yet it was still alive, still moving!

Lu Yuan couldn’t help but hide behind the cannon, loading the second depleted uranium shell and recalculating the angle.

[Unknown hybrid creature, likely an intelligent being that underwent severe mutations after fusing with the soul of an anomaly.]

"Comrade, it’s heading for the basement now!"

The blood pool opened up, revealing a deep underground tomb into which the eerie creature crawled.

Lu Yuan squinted, expressionlessly firing the second shell.

"Feel the power of technology!"

The earth trembled again as another small mushroom cloud rose into the air.

The hot wind scorched his face, and Lu Yuan activated the "Light Screen" to block out the nuclear radiation.

He took cover behind the mortar, continuing to load explosives.

The depleted uranium shells were almost used up, but he still had some regular shells left, planning to give the enemy a full taste all at once.

Lu Yuan had no intention of engaging in close combat. What era was it? Who would exhaust themselves fighting monsters hand-to-hand?!

...

...

"Brother, look over there, the battle has started!"

"What formidable power..." The five Jin brothers, who were transporting babies, turned their heads one after another as majestic dark clouds gradually spread into the atmosphere.

They were shocked by the noise coming from the Imperial Mausoleum.

His heart stirred, "Could this really be the end of the main culprit this time?"

"Damn, the mist is toxic!"

The battleground was situated in a remote corner, 20 kilometers away from the orphanage, and the nuclear radiation had not yet spread significantly.

But these experts were highly sensitive, instantly feeling the toxicity of the nuclear radiation carried by that hot wind.

"Bo Ba!" the "Sky Fortress" called out, urging them to move faster.

The Innate Grandmaster, Jin Zhuliang, shouted sternly, "Stop dawdling, quick, move the babies up!"

Everyone scrambled busily.

Boom! Boom!

The distant land kept booming, like the hammering of a hammer, striking at their hearts.

The power of technological weapons was indeed heart-stopping; the force of the attacks was beyond human capacity.

After busying about for a while, they might have rescued all the children kept there from the entire capital.

In the vast Imperial City, all that remained were over fifty thousand children who knew nothing, a cruel situation indeed.

The "Sky Fortress" struggled a bit while carrying over fifty tons at once.

Fortunately, it had plenty of food to eat, such as the corpses of human-skin monsters; it had no combat ability and had never eaten such creatures before.

Now that these Great Grandmasters were personally transporting corpses, it was happily fed, its developed oral apparatus devouring one after another, even moving food from the warehouse for it to eat.

"Big brother, it seems to be growing?" The local experts were also fascinated.

Although the Mandala Empire had its extraordinary creatures, it was their first time seeing one that could grow so large, fly in the sky, and possess a bit of intelligence.

Despite its ugly appearance, its uses were indeed significant.
