Chapter 745 An Unexpected Summoning! (1)
The gate was made of heavy alloy, and six fully armed soldiers stood on each side, all wearing black combat uniforms and masks that covered half of their faces, leaving only their eyes visible.
They wore psionic suppressors on their waists and held standard psionic rifles in their hands, muzzles pointing downwards, their postures as straight as pine trees.
An officer stepped forward, holding a recognition device, and scanned everyone's pupils through the car window.
The instrument beeped, and he stepped back and raised his hand to signal.
Unlike the central city.
The atmosphere here is extremely heavy, so oppressive that it's hard to breathe.
We've reached a fork in the road.
The little octopus and its two teammates headed to a safer area.
Yu Zhizhi watched them leave.
The white-haired youth unfolded a map; the paper had a yellowish tinge characteristic of old objects, and the edges were slightly curled.
He pointed with his fingertip to an area circled in red in the center of the map, his voice not loud but clear: "We are only staying temporarily, and we only need to clear the mutated species in this area."
Yu Zhizhi leaned closer to look; the rabbit ears were slightly tilted forward.
The map was covered with a dense array of symbols, some of which she recognized, while others were completely unfamiliar.
The terrain markings within the red circle are chaotic, resembling either abandoned buildings or some kind of irregular pit.
"It's not a large-scale operation." The white-haired youth folded the map and put it in his pocket, his gaze sweeping over her and her two other teammates. "Let's finish quickly and try to wrap things up before dark."
Yu Zhizhi nodded, her rabbit ears twitching slightly.
The wind blew in from the wilderness, carrying the dry scent of dust, and also a faint, strange, sweet smell.
On the distant horizon, the last ray of light is slowly sinking into darkness.
Yu Zhizhi and the other team members headed to the area that needed to be cleared. The wind howled, and as night fell, the red wand in the magician's hand emitted a starlight-like glow.
Arrive at area D109 marked on the map.
The air was thick with the smell of decay.
Those bubbling green swamps seemed to be filled with countless corpses.
Yu Zhizhi felt nauseous, and her face turned slightly pale.
Noticing her condition, Fu Lindu immediately handed her a mask: "It's your first time here, so you're not used to it yet. Wearing this will make you feel more comfortable."
They often do cleaning work while they are on missions.
You can earn a lot of points.
Yes, cleaning is a physical job. It's not that difficult, but it requires a lot of mental energy and involves repetitive and tedious cleaning routines.
"Watch out!" the mage in the group whispered a warning, "There are monsters in the swamp ahead!"
Yu Zhizhi looked over nervously.
Ahead lay a gray-black swamp.
The surface was covered with dark green moss and an unknown slime, with occasional bubbles rising from the depths.
It makes a soft "pop" sound when it breaks and emits a sulfurous odor.
The dead tree trunks lay crookedly stuck in the swamp, their branches bare, like withered hands reaching out from hell.
The water was not calm! Something was moving slowly below, creating ripples of mud that meandered toward them!
The guardian in the group silently raised his shield, the golden light of the barrier flowing across his arm.
The white-haired youth had already placed his hand on the hilt of the knife, his body slightly lowered, assuming a posture ready to erupt at any moment.
The magician took a half step back, his hands beginning to gather spiritual light, and a deep chant flowed from his lips, the syllables ancient and short.
In the middle of the swamp, the mud suddenly exploded!
"Wei Ze, we're entrusting our healer to your protection!" The white-haired youth drew his sword from his waist and charged forward!
The boy, known as Wei Ze, is the guardian of the team.
He raised the shield in his hand and stood in front of Yu Zhizhi.
Yu Zhizhi paused for a moment, then whispered, "Actually... I can protect myself. Wei Ze, you go with them."
The boy paused, then turned back and stared intently at her: "Really?"
"I can summon spirits!"
Without hesitation, Yu Zhizhi formed a hand seal in front of her, and white light overflowed from her fingertips. More easily than before, she summoned her own ice-colored sprite, Aquilia!
The boy looked surprised: "Then you have to be careful, I'm going to help the captain and the others!"
Wei Ze rushed into the swamp!
Aquilia, who had been summoned, hovered above Yu Zhizhi's head. He was covered in ice-colored wings and wore a dark blue uniform, looking just like an elven butler.
"Master, it's been a long time!"
Aquilia slowly descended, floating beside Yu Zhizhi, and raised his hand to block the attack of the unknown monster!
The battle is fierce at the front!
Fu Lindu had dealt with demons countless times, so he was adept at cleaning them up!
The young mage raised his hand, and the fireball he conjured, trailing a long flame, crashed down on the mutated swarm!
The moment it exploded, flames shot into the sky, and fragments and ashes flew everywhere!
The guardian boy held up a metal shield half his height, blocking the monster's claws and acid!
Aquila was not idle either.
He blocked all the demonic seeds that tried to get close to Yu Zhizhi!
At the bottom of the swamp, the mutated demonic creatures were gradually cleared away...
Just then, a huge whirlpool suddenly appeared on the surface of the water in the center of the swamp!
It looks like something is about to be teleported over!
Yu Zhizhi's body suddenly stiffened. She looked over and saw that a dark purple light barrier had risen at the edge of the special area, enveloping everyone inside!
Something finally arrived at the teleportation array in the center of the swamp...
A huge claw covered in dark green scales emerged from the mud. It had five claws, each as thick as an adult's arm, and the tips of the claws gleamed with an ominous purplish-black light.
Its claws gripped the solid ground at the edge of the swamp, and with a gentle press, several deep, bottomless cracks appeared in the ground!
Next came the head!
The head emerged from the mud, its shape somewhere between a crocodile and a lizard, with a long, narrow snout covered in crisscrossing scars.
The demon's snout opened slightly, revealing rows of sharp, inward-growing teeth. Black viscous fluid dripped from between the teeth, falling into the mud and making a hissing, corrosive sound.
"This is no ordinary demonic seed!" Fu Lindu gripped his longsword tightly. "It has at least seven stars!"
The young mage's lips moved, his voice dry: "A seven-star...why would it appear in a place like this?"
The guardian boy raised his shield again, this time moving a little slower than before.
He hesitated for a moment, seemingly also wondering how this special area, which was regularly cleared out and very close to the central city, could harbor a seven-star demon seed!
Could there be an even higher level...?
Yu Zhizhi's heart suddenly raced when she heard their conversation!
and so--
Once this demonic seed is dealt with, the system's mission will be completed!
Yu Zhizhi took a deep breath, and the white light of purification magic began to gather in her palm.
The demon seed was also attracted by this white light!
It suddenly opened its eyes, its gaze locking onto the human!
See you tomorrow~
