Chapter 120: Chapter 120 An Jianyou Takes Action! (4k)
The people of Fire Heritage, Xing Jing Lei had seen them before.
After he submitted his mission materials, someone had come over to interface with him, taking away the materials.
But those people were just underlings, possibly not even outer members, what he was looking forward to, was a face-to-face meeting with actual members of Fire Heritage.
Whether they were strong enough.
If they weren’t strong enough, they couldn’t blame him for taking the second-in-command position of Fire Heritage.
At least Xing Jing Lei believed himself to be no worse!
“Ladies and gentlemen.”
A young man dressed in a black combat uniform with a golden emblem on his chest strode in.
His gaze was sharp as a knife, sweeping across the room, pausing momentarily at Xing Jing Lei before moving on.
“This special operations mission will be under the full command of our special ops team, I hold the position of the special ops team Captain, you can refer to me by my code name—Luo Sha!”
As his words concluded, it was as if a chill of murderous intent swept across the whole room, leaving many of the civilian Awakeners pale-faced and shocked.
This guy with an ordinary appearance, even somewhat short, was that frightening?
They felt as if they were facing a terrifying Mysterious Evil!
But hearing his code name, and his position, many veteran Hunters suddenly understood.
The special operations team, also known as the special ops team… This branch had very few personnel and a simple structure, with the highest-ranking being the three Captains.
And different from the Investigation Bureau, special ops were all about strength and hierarchy, with the strongest at the top and the weak below.
Squad leaders are inevitably stronger than team leaders, and team Captains are inevitably stronger than squad leaders.
In other words, this unremarkable and somewhat short Luo Sha, in a department filled with top-notch experts like the special ops team, must, at the very least, be among the top three elite powerhouses!
Indeed, terrifyingly strong!
Team Captain Luo Sha only showed his face briefly before leaving, and soon, a special ops squad leader ‘Red Rock’ came out and said, “This mission is to eradicate the Evil Tide located in White Wood Forest in the western part of Yunling State. Time is pressing, and we will explain the specifics on the vehicle.”
Troop transports were already parked outside, and although the Mystic Evil Hunters were somewhat confused, they had come all this way; surely they couldn’t retreat at this point? They promptly boarded the vehicles.
Xing Jing Lei boarded one of the leading troop transports, with the squad leader Red Rock on this one as well. Besides him, there were also some Hunter elites, all from Yunling State.
Like Mo Zhengyang and Hu Gaofeng, they were in here.
“This time, our task begins from the outer rim, gradually clearing the Mysterious Evils within White Wood Forest. What I can tell you is that the forest contains more Mysterious Evils than you can imagine, with a considerable number of extremely large Mysterious Evils. However chaotic the Mysterious Evils are, they only have instincts. We don’t need to face them all at once; rather, we’ll remove them step by step.”
“All of you only need to deal with the large Mysterious Evils and the extremely large ones. You don’t need to waste too much vital energy on Common Mystic Evils, as those will be cleared by the Investigation Bureau.”
Squad leader Red Rock took out a map and circled a few areas with a pen.
His main focus was Xing Jing Lei, a powerhouse renowned in Yunling State, as well as nationwide. His strength was something the special ops team also needed.
Even so, Red Rock had not seen Xing Jing Lei in action and was somewhat skeptical.
An Awakener who had emerged from the civilian populace, who hadn’t received professional training, could he truly be as strong as Team Captain Luo Sha?
Most likely, it was all just talk, though undoubtedly he wasn’t weak.
Ghost Fire Hu Gaofeng, Ninefold Blades Mo Zhengyang, and other Hunter elites were listening intently. After all, it concerned their mission and even more so their lives; no one would take it lightly.
Only Xing Jing Lei sat expressionless, occasionally uttering a noncommittal “Hmm.”
He was disdainful inside.
Is this it?
He already had this information, and in much greater detail. Perhaps their organization was just too low-profile, always a guardian in the shadows.
…
There wasn’t much traffic on the road, and the troop transports were speeding along quickly. It didn’t take long to reach the nearest village to the destination.
There were no residents here anymore, and it had been set up as a temporary base by the Investigation Bureau.
The Mysterious Evils in the surrounding area had already been cleared, so there was no danger, but from here on, they would have to proceed on foot.
Further ahead, not only were the roads unsuitable for vehicles, but the number of Mysterious Evils also increased significantly. They could only proceed on foot to respond promptly to sudden dangers.
Team Captain Luo Sha, carrying a blood-red long spear, gazed into the distance.
The mountains and forests were deathly quiet, with only the faintest eerie growls occasionally discernible.
“From now on, everyone operates in their respective units and follows orders!”
“You may engage freely in combat, but remember, do not leave your team without permission!”
“Move out!”
Along the way, the special ops members mainly used Thunder Talismans and Fire Pearls against the Mysterious Evils to conserve vital energy, only resorting to their own strength when facing large Mysterious Evils.
Whish—
A set of red and black wings seemed to appear behind Luo Sha, his form turning into a beam of ghostly light, instantaneously passing through a large Mysterious Evil.
A man passes, a Mysterious Evil perishes.
A pure instant kill.
This action deeply intimidated some of the Hunters who were not so obedient, striking fear into their hearts.
It was too fast; all they saw was a phantom streaking past, instantly spearing and killing a large Mysterious Evil. Was this the strength of a top-tier powerhouse from Dong Huang Country?
Although firearms also wielded great deterrence against Awakeners, they couldn’t earn the reverence of many stubborn Hunters. Strength could.
This spearing instant kill, like the clouds atop a high mountain, was awe-inspiring.
It also aroused the fighting spirit of some Hunter elites.
“I’ll take the lead against this one!”
What do you think?
