Global Towers: Starting With The SSS-Rank Talent, God-Tier Extraction Novel - Chapter 1160
Chapter 1160 Helpless Action
Liu Yan, who remained in stealth mode, headed west.
Blessed by the SSS-grade special equipment Wings of Wind God, Liu Yan sped forward at Extreme Speed.
On the journey, the landscape was barren with sporadic signs of life.
This area had once been the habitat of the Whirlwind Turtle. However, when Team Origin arrived in the Wind Barrier at the sixth level of the tower, Liu Yan led the members of Team Origin to deal with all the Whirlwind Turtles.
The few creatures appearing now had only arrived later.
These creatures were scattered and had escaped from elsewhere, hence naturally weaker in strength.
Utilizing his S-grade perception skill, Omniscient Insight, Liu Yan observed in all directions. He noted that the strongest of these fierce beasts had 8-star combat strength, posing no real threat. Hence, Liu Yan paid them little mind.
While flying westward at high speed, Liu Yan suddenly noticed three figures emerging in the distance to his left.
These figures had not even entered Liu Yan’s perception range yet. Liu Yan had relied on the powerful five senses brought by his SS-grade extraordinary perception to anticipate their presence.
Hastily concealing his aura further, Liu Yan continued to approach. Once the three entered his perception range, he quickly assessed their situation.
After a brief assessment, Liu Yan realized that the three resembled humans from the Blue Planet, albeit much taller, with ears resembling those of elves, long and pointed.
This was the appearance of a Lakonian!
At that moment, the three Lakonians were wandering while constantly surveying their surroundings.
It was evident that they were scouts sent by Lakon Territory, tasked with locating the Origin Territory.
Liu Yan quickly sensed them again. Among the three, two possessed 14-star combat strength, while one had 15-star combat strength.
In the Lakon Territory, such combat strength was slightly above average, classifying them as ordinary experts.
The situation before him aligned with Liu Yan’s expectations.
Following the previous conflict between the Origin Territory and Lakon Territory, two top-tier experts from Lakon Territory had perished by Liu Yan’s hand.
This loss was undoubtedly significant for Lakon Territory, impacting both their current combat strength and future potential.
The rivalry between Origin Territory and Lakon Territory was already deep-rooted. With this incident, Lakon Territory’s animosity towards Origin Territory intensified.
Therefore, after the conflict, Lakon Territory dispatched numerous scouts to search for the Origin Territory’s location!
Observing the direction of the three Lakon Territory scouts, Liu Yan realized they were still far from the Origin Territory. Continuing forward, they wouldn’t discover it.
Assured that the three scouts wouldn’t uncover the Origin Territory’s coordinates anytime soon, Liu Yan felt relieved. He chose to circumvent them, avoiding any confrontation.
Though Liu Yan could easily eliminate them with his prowess, he refrained. The sudden loss of three scouts might draw unwanted attention from Lakon Territory.
If they intensified their search in this area, the Origin Territory’s location might have been exposed sooner.
Given the current circumstances, encountering only one group of Lakon Territory scouts in such a vast area indicated their dispersed deployment. They didn’t focus on scouring this area, at least not yet.
Naturally, Liu Yan hoped to delay Lakon Territory’s discovery of the Origin Territory’s location for as long as possible. This would allow ample time for the Origin Territory’s development and the enhancement of Liu Yan’s and other experts’ strength.
After circumventing the scouts, Liu Yan continued his rapid westward journey, without alerting them.
During the flight, Liu Yan couldn’t help but sigh.
When had Liu Yan ever been so timid? Even the strongest of the three scouts from the Lakon Territory had only 15-star combat strength, not even close to being a match for Liu Yan.
Yet now, Liu Yan hesitated to act boldly. He refrained from engaging them directly, opting instead to avoid confrontation altogether.
Liu Yan shook his head in frustration. He hoped that he and the experts from the Origin Territory would significantly enhance their strength during this mission.
Following the upgrade, the overall strength of the Origin Territory would further ascend.
Even if the Origin Territory still couldn’t face the Lakon Territory head-on, at least the power gap between the two wouldn’t be insurmountable.
Once Team Origin developed to the point where they could depend on the Lakon Territory for defense, Liu Yan and his comrades wouldn’t have to endure such anxiety.
At that juncture, as long as they could hold their ground, Liu Yan and his team wouldn’t need to tiptoe around as they did now.
Liu Yan could leave the defense to Team Origin while he seized opportunities to harass the Lakon Territory’s forces, continually chipping away at their strength.
Though this scenario seemed passive, the Origin Territory held a degree of initiative, with Liu Yan at the helm.
Of course, Liu Yan understood that all of this hinged on his strength being formidable enough.
In the clash between the Origin Territory and the Lakon Territory, Liu Yan’s strength was paramount, surpassing even the Lakon Territory’s strongest individual, their lord, Lei Tianming.
In their previous encounter, although brief, Liu Yan had gained the upper hand, forcing Lei Tianming to retreat and securing an opportunity to flee.
However, Liu Yan keenly felt Lei Tianming’s power during that skirmish.
Without resorting to his trump card, Liu Yan might not have been able to drive Lei Tianming back at all.
Lei Tianming’s strength far exceeded Liu Yan’s current level.
Should they clash now, Liu Yan knew he stood no chance against him.
Liu Yan sensed a significant gap between himself and Lei Tianming.
Thus, during this mission, Liu Yan must elevate his strength as much as possible.
Not only did he need to reach a level where he could contend with Lei Tianming, but he also aimed to surpass him.
Only then could Liu Yan rely on his prowess to aid the vulnerable Origin Territory in this life-and-death struggle!
This time, Liu Yan’s mission weighed heavily on him.
Shaking his head, Liu Yan pushed aside further thoughts and continued his westward journey, steadfast in his pursuit of exploration and advancement!
