Chapter 774: The Brewing of Killing Intent
In the next moment, the Thunder Beast was dragged into Wangcai’s “Dream Crossing.”
Wangcai inherited nearly all of the power of the murmurs and is itself at the “Klein” level. Among the caregivers in the entire asylum of the gods, it is undoubtedly the pinnacle of combat power.
Although there are other “Klein” level strong beings in the asylum, Wangcai is different from them. Its Forbidden Ruins is Sequence 018, classified as the Fourth King Ruins, “Dream Crossing.”
With the Fourth King Ruins, it can easily overpower other “Klein” beings like the Gray Sparrow and other strong entities. If it weren’t for Wangcai’s rather unique preferences, the head of the security department would not be Hongyan, but it instead…
Perhaps the murmurs never imagined that their Fourth King Ruins would ultimately be transferred to a dog.
With the “Klein” level and the enhancement of the Fourth King Ruins, Wangcai could retreat unscathed even when facing the Thunder Beast at its peak. However, at this moment, the Thunder Beast was trapped in its cell, unable to exert any of its power. In front of Wangcai’s “Dream Crossing,” the Thunder Beast completely lost its ability to resist.
A few minutes after being dragged into the “Dream Crossing,” the Thunder Beast’s limbs began to tremble uncontrollably, and it seemed to be dreaming of something, with deep fear reflected in its chaotic eyes…
After a while, Wangcai seemed to have had its fill in the dream and voluntarily released the “Dream Crossing.”
The Thunder Beast suddenly collapsed to the ground, violently vomiting, every hair on its body standing on end, wearing an expression of utter despair.
It was a dignified spirit of the Eightfold Mirror, a divine beast of Takamagahara, and it had never consumed so much in its life… Ugh!!
Lin Qiye glanced at the panel; the Thunder Beast’s fear level had risen to 30 points.
Effective!
The corners of Lin Qiye’s mouth lifted slightly.
“Wangcai, I’ll leave it to you.” Lin Qiye waved at the satisfied Wangcai and stepped toward the cell door.
After all, the Thunder Beast is a mythical creature. Even though it had been tormented by Wangcai, it couldn’t be completely broken. To instill genuine fear of Lin Qiye and Wangcai in its heart would take some time.
“Woof!”
…
In the mist.
Sitting on the “Somersault Cloud,” Lin Qiye slowly opened his eyes.
“Where are we?” Jiang Er’s voice came from the Bluetooth speaker at An Qingyu’s waist.
“We should be close to crossing this sea area and reaching the vicinity of the Great Xia border,” An Qingyu calculated the route simply. “However, it’s hard to determine the exact location on the Great Xia border…”
“That’s fine; once we enter the mist border, we’ll know.”
As soon as Lin Qiye finished speaking, a series of faint, low rumbles suddenly erupted from the mist in the distance.
“Hmm?”
Everyone on the “Somersault Cloud” turned to look in that direction.
Lin Qiye’s brow furrowed slightly.
“Is that thunder?” Bai Li Pangpang looked up at the mist-covered sky in confusion. “Although the sky is a bit overcast, there are no dark clouds. Where is the thunder coming from?”
“That’s not thunder.” Jialan looked in that direction, her expression serious. “That’s the roar of the ‘Mysterious’… There are many, at least over four hundred. When they overlap, it sounds like continuous thunder.”
“Four hundred ‘Mysterious’? Where did so many come from?” Cao Yuan asked in confusion.
“No.” Lin Qiye seemed to sense something and spoke again. “It’s not just four hundred…”
He extended his hand, pointing in a certain direction within the mist. “There, just within my perception range, there are six hundred ‘Mysterious,’ and many more exceed my perception range. I can’t calculate the exact number.
Most of them are ‘Chuan’ level ‘Mysterious,’ but there are also a large number of ‘Sea’ level and even ‘Limitless.’ However, I haven’t seen any at the ‘Klein’ level…”
“The ‘Mysterious’ in the mist have a very strong territorial awareness, and their activity ranges are generally very scattered. It’s impossible for such a large scale of ‘Mysterious’ to gather.” Jialan stood by the cloud, gazing at the direction from which the thunder came, speaking with certainty.
“Sister Lan, when did you become so familiar with the mist?” Bai Li Pangpang was taken aback.
“If you drifted alone in the mist for over two years, you’d become as familiar as I am.”
Bai Li Pangpang stood there in a daze.
Lin Qiye looked at Jialan with a complex expression for a long time before shifting his gaze. “In any case, the area is densely populated with ‘Mysterious,’ which is very dangerous. We may need to take a detour.”
Everyone had no objections.
After all, with the speed of the “Somersault Cloud,” even if they detoured around this large area of ‘Mysterious,’ it wouldn’t take much extra time…
“I feel something is off.” An Qingyu pushed up her glasses, frowning as she spoke. “Such a large-scale gathering of ‘Mysterious’ is definitely not a natural phenomenon. It’s just like when we were brought into the mist by the Wind God in Anta County. At that time, Amon left a curse, which caused a large number of ‘Mysterious’ to gather…
Could this time be a similar situation?”
“You mean, a deity is deliberately gathering these ‘Mysterious’ in the mist?” Jiang Er immediately understood An Qingyu’s implication.
“And don’t you find it strange?” An Qingyu pointed into the distance. “The place where they are gathering is right near the Great Xia border…”
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the members of the “Nightfall” team grew serious.
“We should speed up.” Lin Qiye narrowed his eyes.
“Great Xia… something might be about to happen.”
…
Great Xia border.
Chendlong Pass.
Boom—!!!
A shocking explosion suddenly erupted from the iron fortress, with surging flames rolling up into the sky, accompanied by thick black smoke.
A piercing alarm sounded within Chendlong Pass.
“What happened?! Why did it explode?”
“Enemy attack!”
“It’s from the direction of the communication tower!”
“Oh no, have enemies infiltrated?”
“Impossible… There have always been people watching the border area; there hasn’t been any ‘Mysterious’ or humans approaching here.”
…
The military forces stationed at Chendlong Pass quickly gathered toward the direction of the explosion, several dark red figures sweeping across the sky, arriving at the surging flames in an instant.
Lu Qiu looked at the communication towers completely engulfed in flames, his expression extremely grim!
“It wasn’t the ‘Mysterious’ that did this.” He said firmly. “The ones who blew up these communication towers must be humans, and they are professionals with a deep understanding of communication technology. These explosions have completely severed our communication bridge with the outside world…”
“Humans?” The Night Watchman beside him looked puzzled. “How is that possible? Could there be a traitor among us?”
Lu Qiu turned back, scanning the faces of everyone gathered around him, his brow furrowing tighter.
“That possibility is low. Everyone inside Chendlong Pass has their own responsibilities. If anyone leaves their post casually, they would be quickly discovered. There shouldn’t have been time to blow up the communication towers…”
