Chapter 200 Ghost Rider
Yaoguang City.
The headquarters of the Demon Slayer Division.
In front of the chief's desk, Lin Yuan was dealing with a mountain of documents, and Zhong Peipei was reporting silently beside him.
"The construction of the frontline base in the rift has been completed, and the advancement of the advance army has been very smooth, and there has been no attack by the indigenous people in the rift."
"The natives seemed to be aware of our marching route, and they all chose to avoid it along the way."
"Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner according to our original plan."
"There's just one thing that's very bizarre."
Lin Yuan raised his head and glanced at his intelligence chief, then said calmly, "What's the matter?"
"About a dozen students who entered with bonus quotas reported to the headquarters that they saw a woman in their dreams, riding a saber-toothed tiger, holding a spear, and killing people in the base."
"However, the energy sensors in the base did not produce any reaction. We still don't know what method the other party used to display their abilities."
"Just based on the description, it should be a skill from the spiritual system."
Zhong Peipei paused and added, "There are no casualties yet."
Lin Yuan thought for a moment and then slowly said, "All affected students will undergo mental evaluation. If they are seriously injured and cannot continue to perform the task, they will be asked to exit the rift."
"Inform the advance army that since the indigenous people are unwilling to have a direct conflict with us, then we should not cause trouble. If we encounter an indigenous residence on the march, try to go around it and do not destroy it."
"In addition, spiritual awakeners will be sent into the rift. They only need to guard the advance base. They can be compensated with some additional military merits."
"Pepe, you are a spiritual master. You should pay more attention to the dream. If the situation continues to deteriorate, I will allow you to be transferred beyond the rank."
After saying that, Lin Yuan lowered his head and continued to correct a table of documents.
Zhong Peipei nodded and exited the chief's office.
...
In the next few days, no one was pulled into a dream in the rift.
The senior leaders of the headquarters also gradually felt relieved.
"Ghost Rider" seems to have become a legend, and it only appears occasionally in casual chats after dinner.
Three days have passed since the large army entered the rift, and the advance army will begin its return journey on the sixth day. In other words, as long as it persists for three more days, the mission of exploring the rift will be successfully completed.
Everyone couldn't help but feel a little excited when they thought about the supplies that could be redeemed after leaving.
Everyone in Class 197 was currently squatting in a patch of grass, wolfing down their marching rations.
Beside them, there were several corpses of diamond apes lying.
"Guan Shan, do you think it's a little strange? The monsters we have dealt with in the past two days seem to be much stronger than those on the first day."
Qiao Jiang took a sip of water, swallowed the food and said.
Guan Shan nodded and was about to speak when the communicator on his chest suddenly lit up.
[All members of Class 197, urgent mission. A teammate is attacked 10 kilometers away from you and needs support. Please go as soon as possible]
Everyone's indicators all lit up with arrows. Not daring to delay, everyone hurriedly got up and ran in the direction indicated.
[The enemy target is a group of colorful saber-toothed tigers. There are 11 in number. The highest level is level four. The primary goal is to save people. Don’t be reluctant to fight.]
[One of our party was seriously injured and incapacitated, and three of us were slightly injured. The situation is critical, please hurry up]
Along the way, intelligence continued to come from the headquarters. Everyone in Class 197 looked solemn and silently accelerated their actions.
Among the people in Class 197, apart from Guan Shan, Yang Chao was the fastest.
After all, one with two legs cannot compare to one that flies in the sky.
"Wait, something's wrong."
Yang Chao stopped in a dense forest and waved to stop his companions who were coming.
Guan Shan looked along Yang Chao's line of sight.
In a dry stream, a young man wearing a Wuling school uniform was lying upright on the ground, without any movement, and his life or death was unknown.
"Isn't that Yue Baisheng?" Qiao Xiaohui said with squinted eyes.
"Be careful." Yang Chao stopped Qiao Xiaohui who was about to step forward to investigate. He pursed his lips nervously and said, "There's something wrong with those things."
Around Yue Baisheng, large swaths of butterflies surrounded him and gently flapped their wings.
These butterflies come in different sizes. The smallest ones are like fine pieces of paper, swaying in the breeze; while the largest ones have wingspan that can almost cover the entire human face.
Their wings are painted with intricate patterns and glow with a faint fluorescent light.
Every time the butterfly flaps its wings, it will bring about waves of weak energy fluctuations.
If you don't pay attention to perception, it's really easy to ignore it.
"Didn't you say there were four people? Why is there only one Yue Baisheng?" Wang Sheng asked strangely.
"You have to save even one person. Yu Xin, see if you can pull him out. Be careful of those butterflies." After Guan Shan said to Liang Yuxin, he grabbed the communicator on his chest and reported to the headquarters.
Liang Yuxin cautiously approached the stream and released the silver thread at the farthest distance of the power.
The butterflies seemed to be particularly interested in this novel thing, spinning around the silk thread one after another, and it was actually vaguely pretty.
"No, if the silk thread is close to Yue Baisheng, those butterflies will definitely follow it." Liang Yuxin said a little irritably.
"Then release a few more to attract all the butterflies. Yang Chao, release the smallest puppet to carry Yue Baisheng out. Move quickly, we don't know how serious his injury is."
"Take the healing potion with you, and give him one first when you go in."
As he said that, Guan Shan tore off the healing potion from his waist and threw it to Yang Chao.
Yang Chao took the potion without hesitation, summoned a small ape, grabbed the potion and ran towards Yue Baisheng not far away.
Liang Yuxin also cooperated and summoned countless silver threads.
Like a weeping willow falling from the sky, it fell into the group of butterflies.
"It's feasible, hurry up." Seeing that the butterflies were all led away by the silver threads, Guan Shan urged in a low voice.
The ape puppet injected the healing potion into Yue Baisheng's arm, turned over and carried him on his back.
Just when everything was about to settle, the group of butterflies originally attracted by the silver threads suddenly changed direction and quickly attacked the people in Class 197.
"Yang Chao continues to control the puppets, and everyone else retreats and stays away from these butterflies."
After Guan Shan finished speaking, he drew out the Ten Thousand Gods Sword and blocked everyone.
The long sword swung, and countless tiny ice spikes formed around Guan Shan and flew out.
The sky full of ice spikes pierced the butterflies in the air, but not even one was knocked down.
The moment the ice spikes hit the butterflies, the opponent seemed to enter a virtual state and could not hit the entity at all.
Guan Shan's heart suddenly "clicked", and he felt his scalp numb and his mouth dry.
The horrible memory came again.
As if in response to Guan Shan's guess, a rustling sound of footsteps came from the woods beside the 197 class.
A woman.
A colorful saber-toothed tiger.
Silver scale armor, a thin and pointed spear.
The level of supernatural power that cannot be seen through, the fifth-level demon race, and the indifferent and cold eyes.
Guan Shan swallowed subconsciously, and cold sweat dripped down his forehead, as if he would suffocate at any time.
"【Ghost Rider】..."
