Growing 10000 kilograms every day, I evolved into a mythical beast-Chapter 305 - 151: Steamrolling All the Way_2

Just now, Xia Liyue instructed everyone except him!

"You?" Xia Liyue bit into a lollipop, saying lightly: "Just stay by my side!"

"..."

Xu Zhou was speechless; the other captains looked envious.

This attitude of Xia Liyue’s, could it be that she’s taken a liking to this guy? Otherwise, why is he always getting special treatment?

He’s quite fortunate!

Xu Zhou, however, was somewhat at a loss for words. His primary goal in this operation was that peculiar artifact. If he stayed by Xia Liyue all the time, he didn’t know if he would get a chance to find it.

"What, you don’t want to stay by sister’s side?"

Xia Liyue tilted her head, resting her hand on her cheek, smiling charmingly at him.

"That’s not it." Xu Zhou shook his head, choosing his words carefully.

Xia Liyue seemed to misunderstand his meaning, huffing coldly.

"Afraid I’ll steal your kills?"

Xia Liyue rolled her eyes and snorted: "I don’t care for such little contributions; if you want them, you can have the kills!"

Oh, wow!

The other captains’ faces turned a shade of green with envy; they wondered if this kid really had some kind of special relationship!

Xia Liyue then added: "But if you encounter a third-grade late stage or a third-grade peak, don’t be greedy, or you’ll risk getting killed."

She glanced at Xu Zhou as if she were looking at a little lamb in need of protection.

Xu Zhou’s expression remained calm, "Captain, you misunderstood. My target for this trip is actually that peculiar artifact of the Moon God Sect..."

"Oh?"

Xia Liyue suddenly froze, even stopping her lollipop chewing.

She stared at Xu Zhou, her eyes sharp: "You have quite some nerve, even wanting to touch that thing?"

Xu Zhou replied seriously: "Dean Shen instructed me; that thing is extremely important to me."

Beside him, Qin Feng seemed to be aware and helped explain: "Xu Zhou’s cultivation method is a bit unique from ours. To break through the second-grade peak, he needs that peculiar artifact."

"I see."

Xia Liyue turned back; she was actually quite curious about Xu Zhou’s cultivation method, but it involved privacy, and their relationship hadn’t reached that level yet.

Chewing the lollipop, she said: "Alright, I’ll keep an eye out for you, but that thing is seen maybe once in a decade. It might not even appear this time..."

"Thank you." Xu Zhou felt a sigh of relief in his heart.

The peculiar artifact of the Moon God Sect was crucial for him. Not only could it break through the barrier of the second-grade peak, but it also helped in condensing the seed of divine skills.

If he couldn’t find the artifact on this trip, so be it.

But if he did encounter it, Xu Zhou was determined to obtain it!

...

Outskirts of Linjiang City, mountain region.

Phoenix Valley.

This valley lived up to its name, resembling a phoenix with spread wings, the wings being two towering steep peaks.

The branch of the Moon God Sect was hidden between these two sloping peaks.

Due to its peculiar geography and the Moon God Sect’s shielding devices, it was very hard for satellites to detect its existence. Even a high-grade expert passing by wouldn’t easily notice it without careful observation.

...

A few miles away, on a mountaintop.

Xu Zhou stood next to Xia Liyue, with his team behind him. As for Qin Feng and the other captains, they had already separated earlier.

"So this is the location of the Moon God Sect’s base? It’s not far from downtown Linjiang City."

Xu Zhou looked at Phoenix Valley ahead and sighed inwardly.

"Your home is in Linjiang City, right?"

Xia Liyue glanced at him.

Xu Zhou nodded.

"Don’t worry, this operation will be over soon and won’t affect the city’s residents." Xia Liyue seemed to know what he was worried about and spoke considerately.

She picked up a communicator and said softly: "All teams, report your status!"

"Team Two has reached the target location."

"Team Three has arrived."

"Team Four has arrived."

"..."

Seeing that the other squads were all in position, Xia Liyue immediately ordered: "Captain of Team Two, lead your team to create a diversion in the south and draw their attention. I’ll enter the battlefield from the north a moment later. Everyone else, follow the original plan!"

The second captain inquired, puzzled: "Weren’t we previously instructed to attack the eastern flank to open up a side battlefield?"

"The situation has changed!"

Xia Liyue stated calmly: "I’ve observed that those cultists inside have fortified their defenses so tightly that if they huddle up and form a battle formation, it could become quite troublesome. We need to draw attention away..."

"Got it!"

After arranging everything, Xia Liyue looked at Xu Zhou: "Stay close to me later, don’t stray too far; if you encounter danger, sister can help you out."

Other team members looked puzzled, increasingly suspicious that perhaps Xu Zhou had hired Xia Liyue as his personal bodyguard.

Why else would they not receive such treatment!

...

A moment later, a huge boom erupted from the south side of Phoenix Valley.

Team Two had started creating a diversion!

Quickly, within Phoenix Valley, two late-stage third-grade stewards led a group of second-grade martial artists out of Phoenix Valley to clash with Team Two.

On Xu Zhou’s side, a golden light flashed through Xia Liyue’s brow as she looked downward.

This was her talent ability; unless there was an expert above seventh grade hidden, she could detect them all.

But those seventh-grade strong people of the Moon God Sect valued their lives too much, usually hiding in their headquarters and rarely venturing out.

A moment later, Xia Liyue nodded: "It seems the intel was correct, there’s only a mid-fourth rank inside."

"All teams, begin the operation!"

"Roger!"

"Roger!"

Xia Liyue tilted her lollipop to her cheek and charged out first.

Meanwhile, the squads on standby at other locations also sprang into action, launching the first wave of attacks.

...

At the center of Phoenix Valley.

Inside a hidden pagoda-like building, an old woman with a wizened appearance sat on a meditation cushion.

"Report!"

A disciple hurriedly reported: "Squad Leader, our base is under heavy attack. The enemy is coming fiercely, and we are being attacked from all directions!"
