Chapter 252: Mission in Progress

It is over ten meters tall, clad in armor that covers its entire body, and holds a spear nearly twenty meters long in its hand.On the surface of the armor, layers of ghastly ghosts were intricately c...As the sky began to lighten, the coolness of the night gradually dissipated, and the earth seemed to awaken.

It's time to depart. Let's aim to complete the mission as soon as possible.

"Okay, okay, sis."

Shangguan Xue half-closed her eyes and murmured.

With the protection of Cloud Peak, this big-hearted creature sleeps soundly.

Several people walked out of the hotel building and found that in the ruins which had not been monsters last night, some monsters were already roaming around.

"These are just little monsters, you guys go ahead."

Yunfeng crossed his arms and looked at the two people with an air of leisure.

...Buzz...

A sword cry rang out, a sharp blade flew out, piercing the monster beneath.

This time, Bai Li Cai Yun did not summon her signature soul sword, but instead used a green Zi Ying-grade longsword.

"He's quite wealthy."

Actually, he also knew that with Bai Li Ye Yun's attacking ability, it wouldn't be too difficult to quickly earn credits and exchange for the materials she needed.

In a short time, dozens of monsters ranging from levels 30 to 45 were slaughtered by the two.

"Let's go over there, there's a level 45 dimensional space over there. The base was destroyed in the monster siege before and hasn't been rebuilt yet, so the probability of targets appearing around here is higher."

Bai Li Cai Yun pointed towards the southeast.

Yunfeng didn't say a word, he just quietly followed.

Along the way, the monsters they encountered grew increasingly numerous and their quality steadily improved.

"My cousin is really amazing, it seems like she chose the right direction."

Shangguan Xue exclaimed in surprise.

After half a day, they encountered the first leader-level monster.

Monster: Savathag Serpent (Commander)

Level: 45

Strength: 680,000

Skills: Ghostly Doppelganger, Phantom Possession, Between Reality and Illusion (Passive), Yin-Ming's Trail, Twin Specter Fangs.

This is a snake-like monster that is almost completely intangible and not very large, with a total length of no more than five meters.

At this level, this rank is considered to be a very small monster in size.

"Sister, how do you play"

Shangguan Xue looked at the strange gray snake in front of her with some caution, as well as the dozen or so rare and elite monsters surrounding it.

During wilderness training, the most feared situation is encountering a large group of high-ranking monsters like this.

“First, clear out the smaller monsters outside, then take down the final boss monster.”

Bai Li Cai Yun pondered for a moment, then devised a strategy.

"Cousin, this is too slow. I have an idea. I'll lure the monsters outside and you quickly kill the ghost snake, then come back and help me."

"No, that's too risky, you..."

Before Bai Li Jian could finish her words, Shangguan Xue had already darted out.

After leaving behind a trail of phantoms in the air, he left with a dozen monsters.

"Auntie, please hurry up, I don't know how much longer I can hold on."

Bai Li Caiyun, seeing this situation, could only act according to her plan.

The familiar purple longsword emerged from her body once more.

Dealing with such a creature that exists between fantasy and reality, an ordinary sword is quite ineffective.

Seeing the purple longsword appear, the swaying ghost snake opposite it actually hissed and took a slight step back, clearly showing natural fear towards this sword.

'Swordsmanship'

The purple longsword, spurred by Bai Li Caiyun's mental impetus, flew towards the monster at incredible speed.

This kind of small monster doesn't need to use giant sword techniques.

Seeing the sword strike, the swaying ghost snake shuddered slightly, its body splitting into three.

Separately separated bodies also just dodged the incoming sword.

"Such a high combat instinct."

Yunfeng exclaimed in admiration.

Bai Li Caiyun also frowned at this moment. She didn't expect the other party to dodge her attack in this way.

At first glance, the three swaying ghost snakes appear identical. However, Yun Feng, who had just obtained the eye-of-heaven talent, noticed a subtle difference between one of them and the other two; it required closer observation.

"Didn't expect this Xuanqing Eye talent to be pretty useful."

Although a talent hasn't yet grasped any skills, it is slowly beginning to reveal its value.

On that side, Bai Li Caiyun, unable to distinguish between her main body and her clones, could only launch attacks at the three ghost snakes simultaneously.

But after one strike, Bai Li Ci Yun immediately knew which one was the real body.

After figuring things out, Bai Li's attacks were like a storm, her purple sword flashing through the air, leaving streaks in its wake.

Every time it was grazed by the purple sword, the swaying ghost serpent would let out a piercing shriek.

The Banshee Serpent, who originally possessed the passive skill "Between Reality and Illusion," was quite formidable. However, encountering Bai Li Cun's soul sword manifested its misfortune.

Not long after, the phantom ghost serpent fell beneath the violet sword.

Bai Li Ci's spoils were too numerous to handle, so he hastily sheathed his sword and sped toward Shangguan Xue's direction.

Shangguan Xue was already in a precarious position, facing over ten extraordinary monsters. Even with her innate talent granting her unparalleled agility, she would inevitably make mistakes sometimes.

At this moment, her snow-white battle suit was stained with patches of blood, not from monsters, but from herself.

Her left arm and right lower leg had been cut with two fairly deep wounds.

Buzz...

The clang of swords rang out, and Shangguan Xue finally let out a sigh of relief.

"Cousin, if you don't come soon, I might turn into a monster's poop."

With the addition of Bai Li Qian Yun, the remaining monsters were quickly cleared out.

Although she had a calm demeanor, the sweat beading on her forehead betrayed how much this battle had taken out of her.

"Young lady, could you please speak with a little more grace"

A hundred miles of creeping vines, helpless and resigned.

Sheng Xue stuck out her tongue and forgot that Yun Feng was beside her.

Thinking of Yunfeng, Shangguan Xue suddenly felt a little unhappy.

"Big hero, seeing someone hurt and not even coming to help, Humph!"

"I told you so, Supersonic wouldn't make a move, he tried to be tough on his own, who can blame him"

Yunfeng was too lazy to pay attention to her.

"Well, we'll just be more careful next time."

Bai Li Qian and Yun hurriedly pulled on Shangguan Xue, who was still trying to argue.

After collecting their spoils, the three set out again.

That's it, five days have passed.

Besides encountering the mission target "Shaking Ghost Serpent", the three met eighteen other mission targets within three days. Along the way, they also killed many other monsters.

During this time, the two women finally saw Yunfeng take action.

Three days ago, several people encountered a monster of extraordinary rank.

Although it was an ordinary monster, it was not something the two women could handle.

Just as the two women were about to see Yun Feng's methods, Yun Feng waved his hand and sent out two ice dragons.

The monster called Earth-Bound Dragon was smashed into a bloody pulp by two ice dragons.

At that time, the two girls could only slightly open their mouths, not knowing how to express their astonishment.

"Just one more monster and our mission will be complete, we can head back right away."

Shengguan Xue giggled.

Although she had grown accustomed to the life of battling monsters, the comfort of the safe zone was still something worth cherishing.

For the awakened, the safe zone is a haven where they can protect those they care about.

Upon hearing Shangguan Xue's words, Yun Feng did not show a look of joy, but instead wore an expression of confusion.

"Could it be that Longkong Jie has truly given up"g once again walked towards the old principal's room. This time, he went alone."Yun Feng, you've made your choice."The old principal said with satisfaction."Well, they all feel about the same, so I ju...
