Run Away, This Civilization Is Cheating!

Chapter 390: Chapter 328: Exploring Indigenous Civilization!_2
 

It even seemed somewhat superfluous.

This time, he quickly realized an opportunity had come for the reconnaissance department!

In the native worlds, each was like a bubble, and there was no vast universe. They didn’t need to spend time searching for coordinates or crossing vast distances, but could directly proceed with reconnaissance, making significant contributions to the civilization’s subsequent actions!

“I will execute the mission personally!” Feng Ping could hardly contain his fighting spirit.

However, Gan Yuan shook his head and said, “I’m afraid this will disappoint General Feng. The highest-level world we have located is only in the Fourth Stage. General Feng, with your great strength, you are unable to go there.”

“…”

Feng Ping took a deep breath but then turned to call over a young Chosen One.

“Zhuang Ying, within the reconnaissance department, at the Fourth Stage level, you might not be the strongest, but you are the most outstanding—this important task will be led by you!”

“Yes!” Zhuang Ying said in a deep voice.

There was not much excitement in his tone.

But Feng Ping knew it was just him controlling his emotions.

Zhuang Ying’s original name was not this, but his awakened Innate Taoist Body was “Sky Escaping Body”, a unique innate talent, giving him an extremely strong talent in escape techniques.

After becoming a Chosen One, although his talents were not purely for hiding and reconnaissance like Feng Ping’s, they still matched well.

Upon acquiring the true inheritor identity, his Chosen One talent was upgraded to the Purple Epic level, dubbed [Spirit Wind Origin].

Strong escape skills coupled with powerful talent in controlling spirit wind, naturally, his ability in reconnaissance needs no further explanation.

He was just four years younger than Liu Shuanglian, and a bit lower in level, only Level 38.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be much weaker than Liu Shuanglian.

At this moment, such an important task indicated not only the top’s recognition but also an opportunity, a chance to earn achievements and catch up to those strong peers within the civilization!

“For this mission, you have three main objectives, first, to scout the situation in that world; second, to gather information related to extraordinary powers; third, depending on the situation, promote the majesty of our Human Civilization, preferably starting from the high-level, to avoid unnecessary wars with the indigenous civilization when we enter on a larger scale…” Feng Ping patiently emphasized the core of this mission and at the end, he solemnly added, “If you find yourself unable to manage something, or encounter an emergency, do not hesitate, immediately pray to the President. Remember, no matter where you are, the President is always behind you!”

“Yes!” Zhuang Ying said solemnly.

As a reconnaissance personnel, he knew more than anyone that they were the antennae of Human Civilization and the President’s eyes!

With the President behind them, no matter what situation they faced, they ought to have commanding confidence!

Zhuang Ying departed. For his first journey, he didn’t bring many people, just five, all top members from the reconnaissance department. Although their Original Talents were not Purple Epic level, each had abilities of the Golden Legendary Level!

By now, dusk had fallen!

“Hurry!” Gan Yuan urged as they headed towards the Teleportation Array. “The Rules of the Night will affect all extraordinary powers, and if we teleport after night falls, unknown changes might occur.”

Before he even finished speaking, the few of them swiftly stood on the rather crude-looking Teleportation Array.

No one had the slightest worry.

The next moment, as the teleportation activated, Zhuang Ying felt as though he was being stuffed into a massive vortex, spinning and falling, but when he felt the air again, he quickly adjusted, first concealing himself within a gentle breeze.

His other companions reacted similarly, each with their method.

Going to an unknown world, the most problematic part is usually the beginning because no one knows exactly where they will end up.

Luckily, they didn’t appear directly in a danger zone.

“It looks like a forest,” Zhuang Ying thought to himself.

All the worlds had the same timing; dusk was falling, the sky was dim, and the coldness between heaven and earth kept rising as the Rules of the Night gradually activated, wrapping each place in eeriness and danger.

However, it was also at this time that Zhuang Ying looked in a certain direction.

“Do you feel it?” he silently asked in his mind.

As members of the reconnaissance department, they had also put significant effort into the secrecy of their equipment, one aspect of which involved communication.

The means of communication did not rely on language or gestures, but on a special token contained within their Divine Souls.

Even from a great distance, they could make contact quickly through the token.

At this moment, his teammates were all looking in the direction he was facing.

“Feel it?”

“Is this aura, firelight?”

“No! It’s more like the Great Sun!”

“I think it’s like a lighthouse, far in the distance, but still clearly visible.”

“Let’s go and have a look.”

“…”

Zhuang Ying quickly made a decision, his body transformed into a breeze, as if he didn’t exist, leading the team forward.

His teammates also followed him using their own methods, staying alert.

Their speed was not fast, prioritizing caution.

Just moments later, the night had completely fallen.

Everyone felt the dangers in this darkness, and aside from the few stars above in the sky, there was no other source of light. Yet, they always felt surrounded and even crowded by countless bizarre creatures, even the trees beside them and the weeds at their feet carried an unsettling aura.

There were also some clearly visible strange creatures wandering around.

Among them were none lacking in strength.

Zhuang Ying saw a pitch-black lantern; it seemed to have black flames burning vigorously inside, yet it emitted no light or heat. Instead, it carried a heart-palpitating smell. Just focusing on it for a moment seemed to fill his heart with noisy whispers, as if even his soul would be stained with the black flames.

“Don’t look in this direction!” Zhuang Ying thought, and a flame rose in his soul, directly devouring the strange black flame.

It was the Golden Legendary Ability he possessed—[Heart Flame of Ten Thousand Techniques].

The creature’s ability was definitely at an Elite Level, but the key was its level, shockingly a Level 40 strange being!

It had reached the limit that this small world could bear!

For Zhuang Ying, although it posed no threat, how could such an enemy appear so simply?

Shouldn’t this be boss-level in this small world?

Suppressing the impulse to simply eliminate it, Zhuang Ying passed by the strange being and continued on towards the “Great Sun Breath” he sensed in the distance.

The earlier reminder to his teammates not to look wasn’t out of concern that they would be affected, but rather because he feared startling the snake with unintended consequences.

The enemy possessed intelligence and even an independent system; if they exposed themselves without understanding anything, it could disrupt the original balance of this world, draw more attention from the enemy, and consequently affect the state of the indigenous civilization, causing Human Civilization to hastily send troops and ignite a great war.

This chain reaction had been emphasized countless times within the reconnaissance department.

Their primary mission was to scout until they had collected the necessary intelligence, after which they could respond as circumstances dictated.

At this moment, Zhuang Ying was beginning to look forward to seeing what the “native civilization” of this world could offer.

Only then would their current carefulness be truly worthwhile.

And when Zhuang Ying finally reached the location he had previously sensed, he couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement.

It was a city!

A city enveloped in flames!

Huge flames burned on the massive city walls, as if to envelop the entire city, and the flames within the city were even hotter. If it wasn’t clear that figures were standing on the city walls behind the flames, one might even think the city itself was burning!
