Global Game: Crazy Mobile App-Chapter 273 - 279: Turbulent Environment
At first, everyone was a bit nervous. Now they were deep behind enemy lines, in the middle of a fortress teeming with all kinds of monsters. A careless move could stir up a hornet’s nest and be ground down by the monsters.
But as time went on,
the tension gradually disappeared.
With Grand Commander Hang around, it was no problem at all. The squad was rock solid!
Hang Yu knew the fortress very well, and with the aid of the Eagle Eye skill, there was no chance of getting lost. He actively avoided areas that were filled with traps, densely packed with monsters, or easy to be exposed, leading the team in an orderly manner to slay monsters.
The two subordinates, Er Gou and Bai, also played a crucial role.
Er Gou possessed a powerful warning ability, always able to detect hidden sentries and the movements of patrolling monsters.
As for Hang Xiaobai, her third-tier skill, Illusion Dust, was a sustaining, mobile, large-scale monster control and field control technique. As long as it was laid out in advance, it could perfectly bewilder monsters along the way.
What more could be said?
Simply awesome!
Everyone’s morale kept climbing, and the more they fought, the smoother it went.
They were not overly tense anymore; instead, they even had the mood to chat, assured that with Hang Xiaobai’s cover, there was no fear of being exposed. Observing Bai for a long time, Xu Tianhua finally couldn’t resist.
He asked in a low voice, "Xiao Hang, if I’m not mistaken, this person isn’t human, is she?"
Though Xu Tianhua lowered his voice,
Jiang Nan, Zhao Ming, and Chen Yu still overheard.
Hang Yu was puzzled and asked back, "Why do you say that?"
"I reckon she might be considerably stronger than you," Xu Tianhua affirmed, "I think the chance of such a powerful expert appearing among humans is minimal."
Hang Yu replied, "Boss Xu, you’re giving me too much credit with that statement."
Xu Tianhua retorted with a sour expression,
"Don’t be so modest."
"Your power ranks among the top three with us."
"Those who are on par with you generally have had major strokes of luck or have been cultivated by departments focusing their resources on creating aces... Even so, they are limited."
"The person you brought over, she’s a bit too powerful; besides, I see she possesses many second and third-tier skills, something that’s difficult for humans at present to have all at once."
Concluding, Xu Tianhua said, "She’s a Spirit Realm person, right?"
Zhao Ming, Jiang Nan, and Chen Yu’s expressions varied at this, with Jiang Nan looking shocked and curious, while Zhao Ming and Chen Yu appeared solemn yet enlightened.
Hang Yu puzzled, asked, "How did you figure that out?"
Xu Tianhua said, "We’ve also successfully recruited a Spirit Realm person, who is now serving as a strategic advisor, and we have two more held in secure custody."
"So the legend is true."
"Indeed, there have been gradual interactions between Spirit Realm individuals and humans, some even joining human society directly."
Zhao Ming and Chen Yu exhibited great interest in this matter.
"No wonder Bai is so powerful; she is actually an indigenous resident who’s lived in the Spirit Realm all along," said Jiang Nan, full of curiosity. "If teaming up with Spirit Realm people, wouldn’t exploring the Spirit Realm become easier?"
Zhao Ming shook his head, "Don’t romanticize the world!"
"Indeed, more than ninety percent of the Spirit Realm people who descend into the human world are hostile and difficult to communicate with," Xu Tianhua seriously stated. "There have been Spirit Realm people forming armies in some areas, posing a major hidden danger and threat far exceeding monster tides to the human world."
"Old Xu is right; Bai is a very rare exception," Hang Yu nodded also. "Spirit Realm natives are generally brutal; if you find any traces of Spirit Realm natives in the real world, you should immediately report to the local Celestial Net."
Jiang Nan stuck her tongue out.
She realized she had been too naive.
Why should Spirit Realm people coexist peacefully with currently weak humans?
Oh, those not of our kind are bound to differ in heart—mostly unreliable. Great God is still the best!
Chen Yu remarked, "Looks like after going back, I’ll need to keep a close watch on news about this."
Zhao Ming was evidently very interested too.
He planned to gather related intelligence after returning.
Whether he would report discoveries of Spirit Realm people remained uncertain.
They chatted during the battle breaks about the situations in various places.
Things were quite good over on Jiang Nan’s end.
Yanjing is currently the most orderly city.
Because threats can be suppressed immediately when they arise.
Zhao Ming recounted a recent mysterious event, "In the ocean hundreds of miles around Peng City, a giant whirlpool with a diameter of dozens of miles has appeared suddenly. The whirlpool distorts not only the seawater but also the nearby space. Do you know what might be going on?"
Hang Yu said, "I think it’s a huge temporal rift. If it’s temporarily open, it’s not an issue, but if it stays open for a long period, we must watch out for powerful beings invading."
"In Rongcheng, we’ve recently encountered quite a bit of trouble," Chen Yu spoke up at this point, "For some time now, Ratmen have frequently appeared in the city, often attacking citizens. It’s said a powerful Ratman King is behind them."
"This is undoubtedly a Spirit Realm-orchestrated invasion," Xu Tianhua instantly declared, "From what I know, eighteen regions around the country face similar threats, and possibly many more under our radar. It’s among the greatest threats to human survival."
"..."
Jiang Nan, Zhang Xiaoqiang, and the others felt a heavy weight in their hearts after hearing these exchanges.
Countries have completely lost control over local territories now.
The people in various cities are relying on self-reliance, with many regions on the brink, dealing with beast tides, Spirit Realm powers, super-strong Spirit Realm monsters... The threats are manifold for humanity.
A great calamity could erupt at any moment!
The group maintained a stable rhythm.
They’d been slaying monsters for two hours.
During this process, both Er Gou and the Human-faced Ant Queen leveled up, with Er Gou now at level 6 and the Human-faced Ant Queen at level 5.
[Wang Ergou] (Mutated Spirit Beast), level 6 Golden Elite, Life Energy 220, Spiritual Power 300, Life Recovery +0.1, agility +0.5, Spiritual Sense +2, Evolution 92/140, Spiritual Qi 2/4000,
[Human-faced Giant Ant], level 5 Golden Elite, Life Energy 170, Spiritual Power 280, Evolution 29/220, Spiritual Qi 1/2000,
Each attribute of level 6 Ergou improved greatly.
His ordinary attack power had reached Xu Tianhua’s level.
If he used his Transformation Skill, his burst power couldn’t compare to Xu Tianhua’s full-power attacks, but his average output was about the same as Xu Tianhua’s.
What disappointed Er Gou slightly was,
his clones still numbered three, not increased by the level-up. It seemed not every level increase added clone numbers, yet although the number didn’t increase, the clones’ attributes improved significantly.
As for the level 5 Human-faced Ant Queen?
Twelve normal ants + three elite ants!
Her own strength also saw great improvement, with her attack skill Spiritual Whip dealing damage comparable to Zhang Xiaoqiang’s Innate Fireball, and it had a strong dizziness effect, making it unchallenging to deal with ordinary level six or seven humans.
A Spirit Beast’s strength is part of its master’s strength.
The two Spirit Beasts getting stronger means Hang Yu got stronger too.
"That’s about it. The patrolling units, hidden and visible sentries, and dangerous mage monsters that were in the way are basically cleared out unknowingly by us."
"Let’s deal with the first BOSS monster now!"
Leading the squad to the fortress gate, they could see from afar a massive mecha-wearing monster pacing at the gate, accompanied by a host of demonic puppets.
Jiang Nan exclaimed in surprise, "Another one of those mecha-wearing monsters!"
The Spiritual Professional Qin Mu frown: "This kind of monster is hard to control, and the Silence Curse has no effect!"
Zhao Ming asked Hang Yu, "How do we fight?"
Hang Yu gave a brief explanation,
"This one’s the fortress’s Mechanical Control Master."
"It controls the fortress gate’s opening and closing, as well as all the traps in the vicinity. If we take it down, we can disable the traps, open the gate, and let the others in."
"The Mechanical Control Master is a very powerful monster, possessing the strength of an 8th-tier Bronze Lord. But because of this magic-energy mecha, it’s much stronger than an ordinary Bronze Lord."
"However, with our strength, it’s not difficult to deal with."
Hearing this, everyone’s hearts were calmed.
Who was Hang Yu? The one known to have single-handedly taken down an 8th-tier Lord!
Moreover, along with them was Hang Xiaobai and so many experts and Spirit Beasts. This guy had already become a heap of Spiritual Qi and Green Quality loot in everyone’s eyes!
