The desert temperature is low at night, making it very suitable for X-Armor combat.
Wang Ji Xuan put on the X-Armor, which had just undergone basic maintenance, and activated stealth mode, quietly traversing the sand.
The aircraft landed below a sand dune, also maintaining optical stealth.
Wang Ji Xuan deliberately got a little closer, shortening the interval distance to about two hundred meters, before lying prone on the sand dune and releasing his spiritual sense.
Unimpeded!
Daoist Wang pinched a magic seal, and the spiritual sense formed an image, and a fairly clear picture of the cabin appeared in his mind.
It really is Aunt Dragonfly!
This middle-aged woman was wearing a dirty nightgown, her loose face had no makeup, mainly showcasing a negative sex appeal.
She was pacing back and forth in the narrow cabin, obviously a little anxious.
Her two team members were also under Wang Ji Xuan's spiritual sense surveillance at this moment.
The woman who looked quite young, with a graceful figure and beautiful face, wore a desert-style breast wrap and a gauze long skirt, outlining her curvy figure. The veil on her face was purely decorative, unable to cover her three-dimensional features, and her slightly wheatish skin added to her sexiness.
Her name is Shaman.
— Beside her was a tablet with the headshots and brief information of Aunt Dragonfly, Shaman, Treant Beta, and Mane Bear. Mane Bear's headshot was gray, indicating that he was a prisoner.
And that Treant Beta…
Daoist Wang's eyes lit up.
Tree demon!
No, it doesn't seem to be a tree demon, but a human who has been infused with spiritual energy and stimulated a strange attribute, turning this guy into a half-human, half-tree demon…
Huh? How is this done?
Wang Ji Xuan had previously encountered the explanation that [the mutated spiritual energy users with various characteristics all have animal features], because the Blade Beasts have all kinds of 'genes', so the spiritual energy users exhibit certain characteristics.
But from Wang Ji Xuan's current understanding, this theory should be wrong.
Why would Blade Beasts absorb the gene pool of trees?
Do flowers and plants pose a threat to them?
This is obviously unreasonable.
What makes Wang Ji Xuan's eyes light up at this moment is not the strange shape of this Treant Beta, but the constantly pruned branches and twigs of Treant Beta.
What is this?
A spiritual energy user similar to a tree demon! His own aura is powerful, as much as forty or fifty [Zheng]! The bark and branches on his body must be incredibly rich in spiritual energy!
Blade Beast active blood soaking ordinary paper has already greatly increased the power of the talisman;
If I can get these tree barks, make them into paper, and make talismans…
Later, alchemy and pill refining also require some spiritual juice for blending, and wood-attributed weapon refining also needs this kind of bark…
This is a mobile and valuable resource!
It's simply an herb that has become a spirit that jumped out of the Immortal Realm ruins, an old crooked-neck tree in the deep mountains and forests with abundant spiritual power that has just transformed!
Previously, Mane Bear only told Zheng Shi that his A-level teammate was very useless, but he didn't specifically say in what aspect he was useless.
This is useless?
It is obvious that a group of spiritual energy users are wasting natural resources!
Wang Ji Xuan became enthusiastic.
He didn't expect that under these harsh cultivation conditions, he could still discover such valuable resources!
Daoist Wang almost directly activated the Demon Art and burst out all the energy of the X-Armor, rushing up to eliminate demons and defend the Dao, and protect this kind tree!
However, he still pays attention to the bottom line.
Wang Ji Xuan controlled his emotions and marked Treant Beta, writing a line of remarks behind it.
[Must be captured alive, key material for mass-producing demon-breaking daggers].
Black Instructor received it synchronously.
'I didn't expect that I, a poor Daoist, would also have a day of using power for personal gain.'
Wang Ji Xuan smiled embarrassedly and continued to stare at Aunt Dragonfly as she walked back and forth.
Just some necessary flexibility.
Aunt Dragonfly kept cursing and outputting for more than ten minutes, finally mentioning the matter at hand.
…
"Those old bastards! They still say it's our work error that led to the annihilation of that Judgment Corps team!"
Aunt Dragonfly didn't mention at all that she used smoke to condense words to pass messages to Mane Bear, and shouted while cursing:
"It was clearly because they were ambushed!"
"Don't they understand what kind of style that old demon Fu Jian has? Are their brains full of rice porridge, forgetting that fifty years ago, Fu Jian led the army into the Spirit Energy Capital and planted a nuclear bomb in front of them!"
"A bunch of old fools, the older they get, the stupider they become! We are an investigation team, not a combat team! Damn it! They even want us to give Fortress 82 a heavy hammer, who do they think they are, are they Blade Beasts? Damn it!"
Shaman couldn't help but raise her hand to support her forehead: "Captain, stop cursing, our conversations here will be automatically uploaded."
"They can kill me if they have the ability! Do they think I have no one in the Natural Faction? These scum of the Ruling Faction!"
Treant Beta weakly asked: "Are we really going to target this fortress?"
"Target my ass! Vacation!"
Aunt Dragonfly sat down angrily, lit a cigarette, and sat there thinking carefully.
Curse as she may, she still had to find a way to muddle through this mission without leaving any handles.
Treant Beta got up and took a bottle of drink from the refrigerator, carefully handed it to Aunt Dragonfly, and asked in a low voice: "Then Captain, are we still going to save Mane Bear?"
"There's something wrong with Mane Bear's brain, it seems he was brainwashed by them using high-tech equipment."
Aunt Dragonfly took out a tablet and browsed carefully for a while, and waited until she had finished smoking the cigarette in her hand before muttering:
"This is a fire pit, we could have gotten away as soon as possible, but Mane Bear's capture has dragged us back."
"The current situation is very unfavorable to the Spirit Energy Capital."
"A spiritual energy intrusion event occurred inside Fortress 82, and a senior researcher named Hama Naka Nagi used a spiritual energy user to control the garrison commander. Before the semi-mechanical armor group ambushed and besieged the Judgment team, the Thirteenth Institute headquarters sent an order to Hama Naka Nagi to control the 82 garrison commander to order a few missiles to be fired at the semi-mechanical armor ambush point, carrying electromagnetic pulse warheads."
"The missile was shot down halfway… Did these people just make decisions on a whim when they issued the order? You can play with missiles better than the frontline troops?"
"Then, D5 sent a special task force, using a new model of mecha, and directly flattened the Spirit Energy Home inside Fortress 82."
"Hama Naka Nagi reacted very slowly, leaving a lot of evidence, including the evidence that they directly mentally controlled the garrison commander of Fortress 82."
"If you were that demon commander-in-chief, what would you do?"
"It must be to take the opportunity to make trouble!"
"They were originally justified, and this matter can greatly stimulate the empathy of the major war zones. If the pan-war zone unites again, the Spirit Energy Capital will change from an advantageous position within mankind to a disadvantageous position."
"However, these intelligence can also deduce a problem."
"What's the problem?" Treant Beta asked.
"Fu Jian is dying," Aunt Dragonfly's eyes were a little complicated, "This old demon is not far from the collapse of his self-will, he will inevitably attack the Spirit Energy Capital, everyone knows this."
Shaman asked worriedly: "Are humans going to have a civil war again?"
"Not again, this is just a continuation of the war fifty years ago."
Aunt Dragonfly frowned and clicked her tongue:
"We can't control this, and it's not something that A-level and B-level spiritual energy users can worry about. Finding a way to get out is the most important thing."
"The specific orders given to us by the higher-ups are, one is to investigate the specific matters that occurred inside Fortress 82, which is our job and must be done well."
"The other is to let us retaliate."
Treant Beta asked in a low voice: "Then, are we going to carry out the second order?"
"Same old rules, let's vote."
Aunt Dragonfly said simply:
"Based on the principle of seniors helping juniors, I must make it clear to you that once we cross this boundary and directly attack innocent humans, it will lead to two consequences."
"First, we become executioners and will be on the military's kill list."
"This list has always existed, don't think that the military in various places doesn't do anything, they are just enduring it."
"Second, that is, after our hands are stained with blood, we will become a trusted team of the Spirit Control Council, and we can get more resources. I may also get their resource training, that is, get some clones for me to swallow, and I will be expected to be promoted to S-level, and your future development in the Spirit Energy Capital will be better."
"At least, it won't be like now, always being sent on various troublesome tasks, and even going to the caves of those King-level Blade Beasts to place probes."
Shaman and Treant Beta were both a little hesitant.
Shaman rested her slender arms on the table, lowered her head and thought.
The latest and fastest novel is at !
Treant Beta said in a low voice: "I'll vote against it, just do our job, I don't have any combat power either, any soldier can just take a bucket of gasoline and set me on fire."
"My ability is to explore and predict," Shaman sighed with some entanglement, "Let's just muddle through one day at a time, I never thought about making a name for myself, it's good to be with the captain."
"Tsk," Aunt Dragonfly frowned and leaned back, "What kind of eyes are those, I'm not a lesbian."
Shaman rolled her eyes: "Captain, no men like you, but I have suitors."
Aunt Dragonfly gave the middle finger.
"Okay, the vote is two to one, next we will only do investigation work… Let's rest first, Shaman is responsible for fuzzy detection, I'll release some drones."
Aunt Dragonfly muttered a little regretfully:
"Our humanoid probe hasn't returned to the team yet, it's really inconvenient."
…
A few minutes later.
Wang Ji Xuan, who had placed the monitoring drones, met with Black Instructor, briefly chatted about his experiences, and asked a few common sense questions.
"The Natural Faction of the Spirit Energy Capital?"
Black Instructor smiled:
"This faction is actually very simple. They advocate for nature, believing that Blade Beasts are a part of nature. They draw power from the Blade Beasts, taking power from nature, and then using it to conquer nature, protect nature, and ultimately dominate this planet again."
"Corresponding to the Nature Faction is the Domination Faction. As the name suggests, the latter wants to dominate humanity."
"The ideas of the Nature Faction and the Domination Faction took shape about seventy years ago. Originally, the two sides were able to contend equally, but with the exploration of the [A Die A Rise] method, the unscrupulous Domination Faction quickly overwhelmed the Nature Faction, which later led to the rebellion and war more than fifty years ago."
"The Nature Faction is marginalized in the City of Psionics, but they still have a large number of people and several SS-level psionicists. Overall, they tend to support the local defense forces, believing that the fortress is the main carrier of current human civilization."
Wang Jixuan lightly raised his eyebrows.
Black Instructor taught a little more knowledge: "Besides the Domination Faction and the Nature Faction, there is now a new faction called the Beast God Faction."
"Ah? Beast God Faction?"
"They believe that Blade Beasts are a higher-level civilization and that humans are inferior. The Blade Beasts' invasion of us can essentially help our civilization evolve rapidly, so we should embrace this evolution and then gradually... integrate into the Blade Beasts' civilization."
"Ah? Are these spies raised by mimic Blade Beasts?"
"Heh heh heh."
The Black Instructor smiled kindly, and by the way, greeted the Beast God Faction's mother, and continued:
"Previously, we just thought these bastards had gone mad, but later you reminded Ling Tong that Blade Beasts have souls, hidden in the crystal nucleus, so the problem has become a bit complicated, but now the biggest trouble is still the Domination Faction."
"Do the warriors still have the habit of wearing Blade Beast crystal nuclei?"
"It's already forbidden, not just in our theater."
"That's good," Wang Jixuan thought carefully for a while, with a bit of contemplation in his eyes.
Wang Jixuan asked, "Then, should we still kill this investigation team?"
"Not for now, let's see their follow-up performance. It doesn't matter if they only investigate. Fortress 82 itself doesn't have any secrets."
Black Instructor leaned closer to him and muttered:
"You hesitated in your words, could it be... you've taken a fancy to that little girl named Shaman?
"I looked at the scan data. This little girl has a very low body fat percentage, and the fat is relatively concentrated. Her skeleton is relatively slender, so she should have a great figure.
"Our military is also very interested in this kind of psionicist with detection abilities. If necessary, we can use a 'honey trap'. I'll help you explain to Ling Tong."
"Don't joke around, I'm completely conservative."
Wang Jixuan curled his lips and frowned:
"I'm quite interested in the Treant Beta, though."
"Ah?" The Black Instructor was shocked. "You kid has this kind of fetish? I knew you suddenly giving the Treant a note was weird! But this fetish is indeed a bit niche!"
"No, what are you thinking!"
Wang Jixuan raised his hand to support his forehead:
"He can help me with some research!"
"You scared me. I thought Zheng Shiduo was already the pinnacle of the newly emerging perverts in recent years, but you can still surpass him."
The Black Instructor laughed.
His mechanical arm vibrated a few times, and a simple radar map popped up.
"Well, the reward for your action this time has arrived. Don't let the mechanical bugs get too close, lest they be discovered. Go and get it yourself. The location has been shared with your armor."
"Okay, Grandpa, you continue to rest. I can keep an eye on the plane."
"Doesn't this guy need to sleep?"
"I have my own unique way of sleeping, part of an alien inheritance."
Wang Jixuan touched the side of his helmet with his finger, the visor closed automatically, and he turned and crawled out of the supply station, running low in the desert.
"Heh heh heh."
The Black Instructor thought of something interesting.
He turned on the head-mounted music player, directly transmitting notes to the brain, and opened two monitors, one monitoring the invisible plane not far away, and one sharing the perspective of Wang Jixuan's X armor.
By the way, the Black Instructor's fingers kept tapping in the air, processing various affairs.
He was looking forward to the moment Wang Jixuan opened the reward.
"Young man, can't I get a hold of you now?"
"No man can refuse this gift, no one."
