Chapter 319: Nightmare
After using the ‘Open Spiritual Wheel’, Luo Yan’s reaction speed, strength, agility, and endurance will all be enhanced.
Even the original Battle Technique mastery can change techniques as needed.
Just like it is now.
By reducing unnecessary consumption of the far-reaching ‘Belt Rainbow’ and redistributing power elsewhere, the distance of the rainbow light overflow is shortened, but the number of attacks increases.
Through a technique derived from a secret method, ‘Nephila’s’ body stiffened first, then burst into several pieces.
Shortly after, ‘Nephila’s’ core was captured in a special container and stored in the ‘White Dragon’s’ storage hold.
Luo Yan then controlled the mecha and returned with Bai Chou.
Despite sustaining severe damage, the ‘White Dragon’ was starting to repair its outer armor, thanks to the ‘regeneration’ feature of the ‘Taisui’ armor combined with the Supercore Matrix.
The big shield ‘Mount Tai’ was hit by several holes, and this level of damage can only be repaired back at the temporary base.
After ‘Nephila’ died, the mechanical spider and other mecha puppets stopped moving.
Yan Wenbo breathed a sigh of relief, then Luo Yan’s voice came through the communication channel, “Captain, we have killed the giant beast.”
“Well done.”
“Let’s go, we’ll meet up with the captain.”
Just then, lights appeared in the thick fog, followed by large figures emerging from the mist.
Soon, Di Zheng’s voice came through the public channel, “Is everyone okay?”
And so, the mecha group of the Guangling Legion gathered together.
However, when trying to contact the Changping Army Group, they found they couldn’t communicate due to the distance being too far.
So Di Zheng let everyone rest for a moment, then led the group to join the Changping Army Group.

Meng Fanxi sneezed, tightened the blanket wrapped around his body, and quickly finished his marching rations.
Then they heard Vice Captain Lu Shihan nearby say, “It’s getting late, exploration for today is paused, everyone rest early.”
“My team and I will stand guard for the first half of the night, Team 6 will guard the second half of the night.”
Captain of Team 6, Ma Shuo, secretly took a sip of wine, then tightened the marching jug containing liquor.
Standing up, he patted Mecha Master Little Rong’s pink back and said, “Let’s go, it’s time for sleep.”
The woman, wearing a driver’s suit, gave him a look and said, “Go away.”
Ma Shuo grinned and went into the tent.
Meng Fanxi stood up holding a sniper rifle, went into his tent, and crawled into his sleeping bag.
Before long, he fell asleep.
It was uncertain how much time had passed when Meng Fanxi suddenly heard the sound of water droplets hitting the ground.
Drip, drip, drip.
It sounded like a leaking faucet.
He furrowed his brows tightly, abruptly waking up.
They were in a forbidden area, so where could the leaking faucet come from?
Meng Fanxi jumped up and grabbed the sniper rifle next to him, looking cautiously outside the tent.
A faint mist floated inside the tent. Although there was a light on, it was not very clear in the mist, adding a hint of ambiguity to the atmosphere.
Meng Fanxi glanced outside the tent, where lights were flickering and figures were moving around. It seemed like people on night watch were active.
He checked the time and it was still early for the shift change.
So, he decided to lie down.
At that moment, a foul smell seemed to come from nowhere and filled his nostrils.
Meng Fanxi frowned, “It smells so bad. Could the people outside be eating snail noodles?”
“They don’t seem to care about the impact.”
“Hehe…”
Suddenly, a light laugh came from outside the tent, sounding a bit hoarse, like a furry tail brushing against Meng Fanxi’s heart, making his scalp tingle.
“Who’s there!”
He shouted loudly.
The outside lights and figures seemed startled.
Suddenly vanished without a trace.
Meng Fanxi was stunned for a moment, then carefully approached the door, lifting the canvas with the gun barrel, and peered through the scope of his sniper rifle outside.
With the infrared vision scope, Meng Fanxi could see the scene in the darkness. But when he looked through the scope, he suddenly jumped up as if shocked.
His face turned pale in an instant.
“What on earth!”
He spoke quietly, then leaned closer to the scope to look outside.
In a red light, Meng Fanxi saw an iron gate, next to which were ancestral tablets, a bowl of white rice, and three incense sticks.
“Is this really happening?”
Meng Fanxi let out a light sigh.
“Could this be a dream?”
He couldn’t help but pinch his own thigh, only to feel a sharp pain.
“It’s not a dream?”
“Then what is going on?”
“Am I not in the forbidden area?”
“How…”
Meng Fanxi used a communicator to call for help, “Captain, captain…”
The communicator made a ‘rustling’ sound, but no one answered.
He clenched his teeth and decided to go out and take a look.
Meng Fanxi grabbed a tactical light, mounted it on his sniper rifle, used the barrel of the gun to lift the tent, cautiously looked around for a while, didn’t see anything unusual, and then crawled out.
As he emerged, he found himself in a narrow corridor, dimly lit with a faint sound of running water coming from a dirty sewer next to him, occasionally rats would come out.
When he turned back, his tent was nowhere to be seen, only a thin mist filled the air, a long alley leading to an unknown destination.
Using the tactical light on his gun, Meng Fanxi looked around.
Sewer, corridor, iron gate, couplets, ancestral tablets, billboards, chalk graffiti, cracked walls.
He paused for a moment.
He was very familiar with this kind of scene.
This was the place he lived in when he was a child.
In the outskirts of the city, there were dark apartment buildings, rats and cockroaches, prostitutes and drug addicts.
Various images flashed before his eyes.
That was the past Meng Fanxi least wanted to remember, but now, he found himself in it!
“If I’m not dreaming.”
“Then it’s an illusion.”
“An illusion…”
Meng Fanxi suddenly looked towards the gray-white mist that was everywhere in the aisle.
“Misty Canyon, mist, a very powerful giant beast…”
Meng Fanxi’s eyes lit up, “I remember that one of the Forbidden Land owner’s characteristics is ‘hallucination’, could it be that I am in a hallucination now?”
He immediately activated his Elemental Power, trying to break free from the hallucination, but at that moment, the large door behind him suddenly creaked open.
Meng Fanxi suddenly remembered various urban legends from his time living in the apartment building, one of which was like a nightmare from his childhood!
“Can things really be this unlucky?”
As he spoke, suddenly he caught a whiff of that foul smell, the smell that was like the stench of a decaying body.
Meng Fanxi slowly turned around, raised his sniper rifle, and shone the tactical light into the darkness beyond the door.
The light shone through the iron gate, into the dusty living room, and onto a chair.
On that chair, facing away from the door, in the darkness, sat a thin old lady with white hair.
