Chapter 1508 Aura Appears
Lin Qiye was very familiar with these rules, after all, they had come through this process step by step from the beginning. Now that he was explaining the promotion rules to these juniors, it felt like a lifetime ago.
After listening, Fang Mo fell into deep thought.
“Killing enemies above my level shouldn’t be difficult… The most crucial parts are obtaining collective ‘Star’ merits, and selecting other team members…”
“The Su siblings are good choices,” Suddenly spoke Lu Baoyou, who had been silent until now.
Everyone was surprised to see Lu Baoyou actively recommending candidates, considering he usually looked down on others.
“Su Zhe and Su Yuan?” Fang Mo’s eyes brightened slightly. “Su Zhe’s Forbidden Domain belongs to an ultra-high-risk sequence with extreme potential, though he’s too lazy. Su Yuan’s Forbidden Domain focuses on perception and support, yet she’s excellent at solo combat and can even counter Su Zhe… Those two are indeed good candidates.”
“You can discuss the details among yourselves.”
Lin Qiye had no intention of getting involved in their team formation. He was merely a guide; how they implemented things was up to them.
Lin Qiye looked around and asked with confusion:
“Where’s Chen Han?”
“Captain Chen left about ten minutes ago… seems like some ‘Mysteries’ are acting up.”
Lin Qiye raised an eyebrow. The new king had just established authority, and already some “Mysteries” couldn’t stay put?
“Alright, I understand.”
Lin Qiye walked out of the courtyard, about to head straight back to his residence when he suddenly seemed to sense something. His gaze sharpened as he turned to look in a certain direction.
…
Beijing City.
Western Suburban Mountains.
Chen Han, wearing a military coat with a straight sword at his waist, slowly walked up the rugged mountain path.
Tall, dense forests obscured the sky, limiting visibility. Chen Han’s brows furrowed as his gaze meticulously scanned the shadows of the trees, as if searching for something.
Suddenly, his footsteps halted as he turned to look in a particular direction.
He raised his hand, and with a gentle gesture of his white-gloved finger toward the dense forest, a faint flame of life suddenly lit up among the trees. Beneath that flame, a massive four-legged mountain beast lay dying.
Chen Han walked directly to the “Mystery” and crouched down. “What happened?”
This “Klein” level mountain beast was among the first “Mysteries” that Chen Han had intimidated. Though it had always existed in this wild mountain range, it feared Chen Han’s strength and never harmed people, making it part of Beijing’s special “balance.”
But not long ago, Chen Han sensed intense battle auras here—one from the beast before him, and another… Chen Han couldn’t identify it, but that scent instinctively repulsed him.
The mountain beast howled in agony, with streams of blood flowing from hole-like wounds all over its body, as if it had been pierced by something. Its life flame was visibly extinguishing.
In just over ten seconds, the mountain beast stopped breathing.
Chen Han’s frown deepened. He seemed to smell the disgusting aura left behind, accompanied by intermittent, faint roars.
Those were the angry roars of other “Mysteries” quietly lurking in Beijing. With the mountain beast’s death, they seemed to sense approaching danger and were warning Chen Han, the new king. None wanted to be the next mountain beast. If Chen Han couldn’t eliminate this threat, they would do so in their own way.
Chen Han’s face was extremely grim. He slowly stood up. “I want to see what creature… dares to act so brazenly in Beijing?”
He snorted coldly and, following the scent on the ground, vanished in a blur.
…
Lin Qiye opened the door and casually placed several plastic bags on the table.
“What did you buy?” Cao Yuan, watching TV on the sofa, asked curiously seeing Lin Qiye return with so many items.
Lin Qiye smiled. “Some braised dishes for dinner.”
“Finished with the 006 Squad business?”
“Yes, those kids have finally taken the same path we did.” Lin Qiye glanced at An Qingyu’s room. “How is he?”
“According to Jiang Er, his finger moved a little this afternoon. She’s watching him non-stop now.”
“Oh?” Lin Qiye’s face lit up with surprise. “Is he about to wake up?”
“Probably.” Cao Yuan sighed. “Qingyu has been unconscious for so long, it’s been hard on Jiang Er, caring for him day and night. If this guy doesn’t take responsibility for her after waking up, it would be truly heartless.”
“Qingyu isn’t that cold-blooded.” Lin Qiye smiled, but then, as if remembering something, his smile gradually faded.
“By the way, I don’t know if it was my imagination… but when I was coming back just now, I sensed a trace of K-system biological fluctuation…”
“What?” Cao Yuan’s expression changed slightly. “Those things have infiltrated Beijing? That shouldn’t be possible… aren’t the Great Xia Gods guarding the front lines?”
“I thought it was strange too. That aura appeared only for an instant and quickly disappeared. I searched in the direction it came from but found nothing… I extended my mental perception but could only sense the ‘Mysteries’ all over Beijing, nothing unusual.”
Lin Qiye paused, then sighed. “I hope I’m just being paranoid.”
Lin Qiye and Cao Yuan tidied up briefly before starting dinner. With An Qingyu still unconscious and Jiang Er not needing food, the two men simply ate a quick, simple meal.
Notably, during their meal, Jiang Er excitedly floated out of the room, saying An Qingyu had moved his finger again!
Lin Qiye and Cao Yuan immediately put down their chopsticks and went to the room to watch An Qingyu’s fingers for five or six minutes, but didn’t witness another movement… The two could only sigh awkwardly and silently return to finish their remaining food.
Just as Lin Qiye finished dinner and was about to carry the bowls and chopsticks to the kitchen, a sudden sensation arose in his mind!
“It’s back!”
Lin Qiye sharply turned his head toward a certain direction, his eyes flashing with brilliance as overwhelming killing intent surged skyward!
“Cthulhu?” Cao Yuan asked, seeing Lin Qiye’s intense reaction.
“Seems it wasn’t an illusion… I’ll go check it out!”
Lin Qiye shoved all the bowls and chopsticks into Cao Yuan’s hands, then transformed into a shadow of darkness, instantly vanishing.
Although Cao Yuan wanted to follow, his speed was far inferior to Lin Qiye’s. Besides, he trusted that with Lin Qiye’s current strength, there shouldn’t be any problems… Looking at the dishes in his arms, he sighed helplessly and quietly began putting on an apron.
