Chapter 2184 - 2177: I Don’t Care About These Trivial Gains

"That scared me to death, we just set out and already encountered the Blood Vortex Flow. Fortunately, we haven’t been diving for long. If we were a few seconds slower, we probably wouldn’t have made it out!"

"Exactly, the advance warning for this Blood Vortex Flow was terribly done, it showed up two months earlier than predicted."

"I wonder how many people will die this time, the folks in the warning department are definitely in trouble."

Several exhausted explorers escaped from the Blood Pond to the shore, but there weren’t many as lucky as them.

According to the official statistics, more than 20,000 teams entered the Blood Pond from just this No.1 town today. Even if some were lucky enough to be resting onshore during the ordeal, there are still definitely over 15,000 teams exploring within the Blood Pond.

Just in this No.1 town alone, there might be hundreds of thousands of explorers trapped in the Blood Pond, and perhaps now over half of them are already dead or injured.

In the Blood Pond, people were endlessly patrolling, and within half an hour it was still considered a golden period for rescues. Some top-level Transcenders with great strength could descend and save people; already hundreds have been rescued.

However, the number of such powerful beings is still quite small. Their abilities are limited, and rescuing even a portion has already exhausted them.

A burly middle-aged man, gasping for breath, brought out a dozen people from the Blood Pond. He tossed them to the ground before lying down to catch his breath.

"This is the last batch, the intensity of the Blood Vortex Flow has reached a critical point, we are powerless now, the rest can only rely on their own luck." After saying this, he closed his eyes and began to rest.

Countless people surrounded No.1 town’s Blood Pond: those purchasing Supreme Crystals, lucky explorers who escaped disaster, and throngs of media workers. Every Blood Vortex Flow is a huge news event for them.

"What’s your view on the premature occurrence of this Blood Vortex Flow?"

"How many explorers are still trapped in the Blood Pond now? Are they truly beyond rescue?"

"How many people did you manage to save this time?"

The media workers surrounded a top-level explorer possessing the extreme power of a Transcender.

"Basically, it’s impossible for anyone to survive," that explorer didn’t even open his eyes, visibly exhausted, "To be honest, I almost didn’t make it out myself earlier, probably only those above the realm of Transcender could escape."

"This is frontline reporter Mula bringing you news. The Blood Vortex Flow in the Blood Pond has reached extremely high intensity now. There are currently over 10,000 explorers still trapped in No.1 town’s Blood Vortex Flow. Let us all pray for them, hoping they can return safely."

Though the reporter spoke eloquently, he knew well these people were essentially condemned.

In previous Blood Vortex Flows, it’s not that no one escaped, but that was when the intensity was relatively low.

Half an hour after a Blood Vortex Flow starts, those who have escaped never exceed 10. And 40 minutes after it occurs, it undergoes a qualitative change, and no one has ever escaped since!

And now, it’s been over 50 minutes since the Blood Vortex Flow began!

Suddenly, the Transcender lying on the ground stood up, looking at the stormy Blood Pond with disbelief, still muttering to himself.

"Impossible, someone..."

"Boom!"

A water dragon shot up, soaring to a height of two to three hundred meters before crashing down.

"Someone has come out!"

"Is it a strong rescuer who went down?"

"No, all the rescuers are back; this isn’t one of them, and no one has such capability to go down and rescue at this stage."

"Could it be a senior expert honing in the Blood Pond?"

Many started guessing, believing anyone who could escape the Blood Pond at this time must be a peerless expert!

"It’s Zelans’ team!"

In the crowd seemed to be acquaintances of Zelans, pointing at the sky and shouting, they were the ones who had given this information to Zelans.

Originally thought they were surely doomed, unexpectedly they managed to emerge from the Blood Pond!

"Boom!" The group all fell to the ground, in the chaotic environment no one saw who actually led them out.

"How did you get out?" A friend of Zelans hurried over.

"We don’t know either," Zhang Menglong immediately answered, "We thought we were going to die, when suddenly a force from nowhere sent us up."

"That’s right, it must have been a senior expert who intervened to save us." Everyone in the team knew Zhang Menglong didn’t want to reveal his power, so they all echoed his words.

"You really are lucky!" said the explorer, patting Zelans on the back, nearly knocking half his life out.

Zhang Menglong looked back with lingering fear, even he had nearly exhausted himself breaking free, none of his battles ever felt as exhausting as charging through those tens of thousands of meters.

Now, he was utterly drained.

"Right, we need to report this," at this point they couldn’t go back to rest, Zelans threw out the bodies of the Kanaru group, causing a stir.

"Their family and friends will thank you," nearby people thought they brought the bodies out from the Blood Vortex Flow.

"No, we killed these people!"

"Whoa!" Zelans stunned everyone.

"Please explain this situation!" Several enforcers from the Holy Soul Alliance immediately approached.

"While exploring in the Blood Pond, these people attacked us, but we fought back and killed them. We recorded the entire encounter on video. We suspect they attacked more than just our team."

Zelans handed the video evidence directly to the enforcers.

The enforcers deliberated for a moment and then nodded.

"The video is clear, proving your self-defense was reasonable. If we find they attacked other explorer teams, you could earn a reward, we greatly appreciate your contribution!"

...

"Wow, Captain, we’re rich!"

"I have over three hundred million myself!"

"Mine is about the same!"

In the manor, deafening cheers erupted, even the neighboring aunties from other estates couldn’t resist peeking out to see what happened.

"Shush! Quiet! Wealth is best kept secret!" Zelans quickly stopped the cheering team members; the only one who seemed calm was Zhang Menglong.

"Menglong, aren’t you excited?"

"Excited, of course excited," said Zhang Menglong, but in truth, these Supreme Crystals really meant nothing to him. In that battlefield, he could easily craft a few Flame Lotuses to earn millions, even tens of millions of Supreme Crystals.

"You found this batch of Supreme Crystals. According to our team’s rules, you should take fifty percent," Zelans said, "Also, if not for you pulling us out at the end, we might not have escaped the Blood Pond. So these Supreme Crystals, you should allocate them all!"

Zelans’ method of distribution was met with no objections, even if Zhang Menglong chose to keep them all, they wouldn’t protest.

"Let’s follow the team’s rules, I’ll take a share, and the rest everyone shares equally, ten percent each!"

"No, you’re taking a loss!" Zelans first disagreed.

"It’s okay, this small amount doesn’t bother me!"
