Chapter 321: Mysterious Figure
In the cockpit of ‘White Dragon’, Luo Yan let out a small yawn. It was late and he would usually be asleep by now.
Currently, he was piloting a mecha through thick fog.
Most of the others were tired as well. No one had spoken on the communication channel for a while, and it was quiet.
Just then, Di Zheng’s voice came through on the public channel, “Liu Bo has woken up, let’s take a break.”
Hearing this, many people sighed in relief.
Ever since entering the forbidden area, everyone had been on edge. They truly needed a rest to continue forward.
So Di Zheng instructed everyone to set up a temporary camp, creating a small bonfire in a hidden spot, with two mechas on guard duty.
The others finally got to relax, either walking around, resting, or eating by the fire.
Luo Yan sat by the fire, calmly eating his marching rations bit by bit. As he finished eating, footsteps approached, and then Bai Chou sat down next to him.
“Hehehehe…”
Bai Chou, feeling nervous, couldn’t control herself and made a strange face.
She took out a can of meat, “Classmate Luo, do you want some? I can’t eat that much.”
Luo Yan looked at her, then took it, opened the lid, ate a piece, and then passed the can to Bai Chou.
“You should have some too, to get more protein.”
Watching Luo Yan’s face illuminated by the fire, Bai Chou nodded and started eating it bit by bit.
“Thank you for coming to see me today.”
Bai Chou murmured softly, not sure if it was the high temperature by the fire or some other reason, the girl’s cheeks turned a rosy hue.
Luo Yan made a sound of agreement and used a stick to move the fire, making a spark fly into the air.
Bai Chou asked cautiously, “But even if it was someone else, would Classmate Luo still go find him?”
Luo Yan thought for a moment, then said, “If it’s the captain, I would.”
“As for the others, it depends.”
Bai Chou blinked and giggled, lowering her head shyly.
Luo Yan glanced at her, his eyes sparkling.
Just then, Di Zheng’s voice came, “Liu Bo wants to share his experience with everyone.”
Luo Yan looked up and saw the captain approaching with the Mecha Master who seemed mentally distressed.
After a period of rest, Liu Bo still looked a bit downcast, but he seemed much better, at least not shouting and screaming.
Yan Wenbo and the others heard Di Zheng’s words and gathered around the fire, some sitting and some standing, their eyes all on Liu Bo.
Di Zheng handed him a cigarette, Liu Bo hesitated for a moment, then softly thanked him and lit the cigarette.
After taking a few puffs, he said, “We were exploring a forbidden area with Colonel Liang Jiansenior, everything seemed normal until we were attacked by a giant beast of higher rank.”
“The giant beast was waiting for us in the dense fog, strangely, there was no reaction from the giant beast radar before it appeared.”
“During the battle that followed, our formation was disrupted by the giant beast, but that was not a big deal, Colonel Liang Jiansenior was experienced, usually we could quickly regroup and defeat the giant beast.”
“But then, everyone started acting strangely, not only did they not follow orders, but they also seemed to be attacking other companions as if under a spell.”
“I…”
Feeling embarrassed, Liu Bo looked at Di Zheng and said, “I was so scared, so…I ran away.”
“But shortly after leaving everyone, I…I fell into some kind of illusion.”
“I saw myself surrounded by many giant beasts, and no matter how hard I struggled, I couldn’t shake them off.”
“But at that time, I didn’t realize it was an illusion.”
“Because it was so real, so real that I couldn’t tell, I only confirmed that I had experienced some kind of illusion after waking up and hearing the captain’s description and thinking about the situation of others at that time.”
“Others probably felt the same way, that’s why they fought each other or attacked their companions.”
“Either way,”
“We all eventually got separated, and unfortunately, I don’t know the current situation of Liang Jiansenior colonel.”
“That’s my own experience, I hope it helps everyone.”
After listening to Liu Bo’s story, Kang Shun shared his thoughts, “This clearly has to do with ‘Huan,’ this Overlord-level giant beast itself has the ability to create ‘illusions’.”
“However, according to previous records, although ‘Huan’s illusions can affect multiple targets, they all require ‘Huan’ to be nearby to achieve it.”
“But this time, I don’t think ‘Huan’ is nearby. Otherwise…”
He glanced at Liu Bo.
Liu Bo nodded in agreement, saying, “If ‘Huan’ were nearby, I wouldn’t just be easily influenced by illusions.”
At that moment, Luo Yan recalled his experience in Misty Canyon before, where he, Zeng Shan, and another friend had also fallen into illusions in the mist. However, he was able to see through them with his ‘Illusion Breaking Eye’ and spotted a large cat figure in the distant fog.
Obviously, ‘Huan’ was nearby at that time.
Di Zheng lifted his head, his eyes sharp like an eagle, “I believe Liang Jian is still alive.”
“I know what kind of person he is. A mere illusion won’t take his life.”
He looked at Luo Yan and said, “But judging from Liu Bo’s description, I have reason to believe that ‘Huan’ is evolving and has already grown stronger.”
“The giant beast radar malfunctioning, long-distance illusion casting, all of these might be related to ‘Huan’s’ evolution.”
“So, we really need Little Luo’s special Divine Hidden Art now.”
Luo Yan nodded gently, showing that he would do his best.
Di Zheng stood up, “No more rest…”
Suddenly, a vigilant mecha sounded an alarm, “There’s something at three o’clock!”
Everyone was instantly surprised.
Di Zheng said in a serious tone, “Quick, return to your mechas and prepare for battle!”
Back in the cockpit of ‘White Dragon’, just after completing the mental connection, Luo Yan saw a dark figure stumbling out of the fog ahead.
It turned out to be a mecha!
Taking a closer look, it was actually the personal mecha of General Lu Shihan from the Changping Army Group.
On the public channel, Di Zheng’s voice rang out, “Captain Lv, this is Di Zheng, what’s happening?”
Lu Shihan didn’t respond, but his mecha suddenly started firing towards the incoming direction.
Rifles, missiles, Elemental Power beams.
Lu Shihan’s mecha unleashed almost all its firepower, with explosions roaring, causing the thick fog to churn and billow.
Within the fog, illuminated by the light of the gunfire, a giant figure could vaguely be seen giving chase.
In the next moment, under the lights of nearby mechas, Luo Yan clearly saw a woman’s face emerging from the mist.
This face was beautiful, but magnified countless times, she had extremely long black hair, and… countless hands!
Emerging from the thick fog was a figure with only a woman’s head, but no body.
Alternatively, her body was made up of numerous arms, varying in length, all of which appeared to be female.
They were slender, long, and densely packed, making the figure chasing Lu Shihan look like a strange sea urchin!
On the public channel, someone suddenly exclaimed, “What is this thing?”
