Chapter 1179 Red Luo Star

"Hey, Brother Gangxin, how could a demon army camp only have one lone demon general? There are demon generals and demon army supply depots below."

Feng Shenxiu said with great interest, "It may seem like we've only accepted this one A-level bounty, but we can actually complete several B-level and C-level bounty missions!"

“That makes sense… You already have a goal?” Bai Pu asked.

"Of course, as long as we select the bounty mission 'Assassinate the Demon General of Yanwei on Hongluo Star,' we can go to Hongluo Star. Hongluo Star is one of the battlefield strongholds that humans and demons have been fighting over repeatedly recently, and there are quite a few bounty missions, such as assassinating demon generals, destroying mines... These are all B-level and C-level bounty missions."

Bai Pu remembered that he had indeed seen a mission to destroy a mine on Red Luo Star, which was open to more than 9,000 people and was a large bounty.

Although a C-level bounty mission only yields 10 merit points, every little bit helps.

Destroying more mines will earn you more merit points.

After Bai Pu agreed, Feng Shenxiu quickly brought over the other two: Jinjiao and Anmie.

The four of them had played a game together once before, so they were quite familiar with each other.

As for why there were only four people in the five-person team last time, those who know, know.

It is worth mentioning that, having witnessed Bai Pu's formidable comprehension and computational power in modifying skills, both Jinjiao and Anmie did not look down on Bai Pu in the slightest.

They could probably guess the truth behind Bai Pu's month-long "gaming addiction".

"Gentlemen, we're all gathered here again. I've already selected the bounty list: one A-level bounty and three B-level bounties."

"As for C-level bounties, there's no need to specifically accept them first, because C-level bounties mainly involve destroying mines and military supply depots. We can just do them as we go, and do as many as we can. When the time comes, we can come back and collect the bounty based on the combat video evidence, which is the same thing."

Feng Shenxiu's organizational skills were quite good, and everyone nodded in agreement.

Then Feng Shenxiu said, "The four of us are going into battle in real life this time. In order to cooperate well, it would be best if we talked about our respective strengths..."

"I cultivate the true meaning of light and have developed three profound light arts, combining the mental and spatial elements. I am currently focusing on the Light Star constellation, temporarily abandoning the mental and spatial elements as secondary cultivations in the future. As for my specialties, I am good at control, purification, and damage amplification, so I am considered a support role."

Jinjiao said in a deep voice, "I have always focused on the mysteries of strength. I am a warrior with strength and endurance as my dual strengths. I can transform, mainly deal physical damage, and have a single-target strong control skill."

Annihilation said, "I am skilled in infiltration and assassination, and I have auxiliary skills that weaken the enemy's physical defense."

All eyes turned to Bai Pu.

In fact, they were all curious about Bai Pu because he didn't have a major constellation, making his combat specialties difficult to guess.

Bai Pu said, "I also specialize in strength and endurance, and I'm better at bursting power, which is a bit like Jinjiao. I recently researched and upgraded a powerful move, and the burst damage is pretty good, but it requires a certain amount of preparation time, so I need your help to ensure it hits."

"Okay, it seems our squad composition is quite reasonable, with scouts, tanks, support, and burst damage dealers."

Feng Shenxiu clapped his hands and said, "Let's not delay any longer, let's set off now and go through the Nexus Gate to Red Luo Star!"

……

Red Luo Star is located on the border between the human and demon territories, in the ancient Zhuo star system of the Yanxiao Starfield.

At the center of the Guzhuo Star System lies the "Guzhuo Great World," which is also one of the main battlefields of the Yanxiao Star Region.

Of course, in the main battlefields like the Ancient Zhuo Great World, it is the domain lord-level powerhouses of the human and demon races who lead the battles.

The bounty missions that members of the Genius Camp can receive do not include main battlefields like the Ancient Zhuo Great World—if a genius were to encounter an enemy demon king, the other party would be very happy to nip the human prodigy in the bud.

The Gaia Group arranged for members of the Genius Camp to participate in the "Border Battlefield" to hone their skills, in line with Gaia's value concept of "no pain, no gain," not to send them to their deaths.

Logically speaking, the Genius Camp is located in the Gaia Star Ring, which is the core star region of the Gaia Group's headquarters, while the Border Battlefield is located on the edge of the human race's territory, and the two are separated by countless light-years.

The Gaia Group does not use "light-year" as a unit, but rather "boundary", "star" and "eternity" as units of measurement for the length of a star field.

A boundary distance is the distance of a standard boundary gate jump, approximately one hundred light-years.

One star distance is the distance of a standard stargate jump, which is approximately 10,000 light-years.

The distance of a single dimension is the distance of a jump through a "standard dimension gate," which cannot be measured in light-years. It is roughly the diameter of a star field, averaging ten million light-years.

If we use standard dimensional gates to jump from headquarters to the border battlefield, it would probably take hundreds of jumps, which would be too troublesome.

Fortunately, the human race is quite adept at space travel. They can directly reach their target planet through the "Nexus Gate" customized from the headquarters star system, regardless of distance!

Human powerhouses who use the Nexus Gate will also have the privilege of "returning to the Nexus Gate" once, simply by returning to their initial landing location.

Bai Pu's four-person team prepared to meet at the Nexus Gate.

They submitted their application and were transported to Red Star through the Hub Gate.

……

From a distance, the atmosphere of Red Star has a faint reddish hue.

This is a characteristic of resource planets. Red Luo Star is rich in "blood stone" minerals. The planet has a network of blood stone veins, and the energy mist emitted by them naturally takes on the color of blood stone.

Bai Pu and the others did not stay outside the atmosphere of Red Luo Star; these views were all seen through the Nexus Gate.

This teleportation transported them directly to the sky above a mountain peak on Red Luo Star.

The several bounty notices they received automatically generated a stream of spiritual information, displaying the location of the mission targets on their retinas.

"This is Black Peak Mountain on Red Luo Star. This is the location for returning to the Nexus Gate. When you return, don't forget to meet here."

Feng Shenxiu examined the map on his retina. "We're lucky. The straight-line distance to our A-level bounty target, 'Yanwei,' is only 1,300 kilometers."

Jinjiao said, "We'll pass several demon mines along the way. How about we smash them up while we're at it?"

"No, we must complete the most difficult bounty mission first. We cannot expose ourselves before killing Demon General Yanwei," Anmie objected.

Jinjiao said nonchalantly, "Right now, countless members of the Genius Camp on Hongluo Star have taken on missions to sabotage the mines. Hongluo Star must be in complete chaos right now, and Commander Yanwei has no idea that our target is himself."

As a resource-rich planet, Hongluo Star doesn't have a strong presence of demons. A demon general at the "Third Grade Seventh Heaven" level, who is a domain lord, should be the commander-in-chief of Hongluo Star's demon army.

“That being said, you must guarantee that you can wipe out all the demon slaves in the mine. Otherwise, if our information is leaked, the Demon Commander Yanwei could guess that our mission target is him just by looking at our route.” Bai Pu also gave his opinion.

Jinjiao remained silent, clearly agreeing with Bai Pu and Anmie's opinions. Feng Shenxiu concluded, "Then let's proceed secretly to the demon camp where Yanwei is located. After we kill Yanwei, we can then handle other easier tasks."

The energy intensity of Red Luo Star is not high, only slightly over 10 points.

The group flew through the air with minimal energy loss.

Feng Shenxiu put a "refraction" shield on everyone to conceal their movements.

In this way, when everyone is flying high in the sky, they can't even see their shadows on the ground. Only when they pass through the clouds can they see a faint trail, but it is not noticeable unless you look closely.

Along the way, the group also saw other members of the genius camp showing off their skills at a certain demon mine, scattering and driving away the low-level demon slaves, and finally blowing the mine into ruins.

"More than four thousand members of the genius camp have all accepted the mission to destroy the mines on Red Luo Star..."

During its flight, Anmie suddenly spoke, communicating telepathically:

"You think the demon race's higher-ups aren't pushovers? Although they're not good at space travel, the Ancient Dragon Star System is, after all, demon race territory. If they sent a team of domain lord-level powerhouses from the Ancient Dragon Great World here, wouldn't they be able to kill quite a few Gaia geniuses?"

Feng Shenxiu laughed and said, "It's not that easy. Our human race's domain lord-level powerhouses are also leading legions to fight in the Ancient Dragon Great World. The demon race can't easily spare enough high-level combat power. Besides, how do you know we don't have anyone backing us?"

Bai Pu agreed with Feng Shenxiu's idea.

He felt that there must be a powerful figure, even a king-level expert, secretly watching over Hongluoxing.

After all, Gaia headquarters has issued a total of tens of thousands of bounty missions for Red Luo Star. In the near future, Red Luo Star will definitely be an important branch battlefield. How could they possibly allow thousands of members of the genius camp to be surrounded and slaughtered by the enemy domain lord?

As they approached the demon camp, the group suddenly noticed a team of demon evolved beings coming towards them from within the red clouds ahead.

This place is close to the stronghold of the Demon General Yanwei, so it's understandable that there are demon patrol teams here.

Fortunately, Feng Shenxiu possessed a special talent for mental perception, with a very long range of mental awareness, and he discovered the demon patrol team in advance. He quickly led everyone to hide in a pale red cloud.

The demon patrol team surveyed the surrounding area but found nothing amiss, so they turned back towards their main camp.

"Follow me."

Anmie transmitted her thoughts, "This patrol team will definitely report to the leadership of the demon army, which will save us the trouble of searching for the whereabouts of the Rocky Demon General."

The bounty notice that Feng Shenxiu received only marked the approximate location where Yanwei Demon General last appeared, and did not update the specific coordinates of Yanwei Demon General in real time.

Everyone agreed with Anmie's idea and quietly followed him.

That demon patrol team was of average strength; the captain was only a mid-level evolver with a hero template, and most of the other members were low-level evolvers.

Bai Pu and his group followed, but the other party did not notice them at all. They flew all the way to the foot of a black mountain, crossed a floating bridge over a lake with steaming heat, and entered a studded iron-gray gate at the foot of the mountain.

Bai Pu and his three companions hid in a nearby ravine.

"Did you see it clearly?" Anmie poked Feng Shenxiu.

"Yes, there are fluctuations from two barrier arrays, one is for early warning and the other is for defense. The defensive barrier is not activated, only the early warning array is active."

Feng Shenxiu nodded. "I'll sense the fluctuation frequency of the warning barrier array. If I can simulate the relevant frequency, I can enter without triggering the alarm. There are two demon sentries at the entrance, who are probably responsible for guarding the barrier array. Once there is an alarm, they will activate the defense array, and then we won't be able to get in."

“I’ll handle those two demon sentries. I guarantee they won’t raise any alarms,” Anmie said confidently. “As long as I can infiltrate, that’s all that matters.”

Feng Shenxiu closed his eyes and concentrated, and the light-refracting shield on his body surface subtly changed different colors of the spectrum.

"All right."

Feng Shenxiu suddenly opened his eyes, raised his hand and unleashed a ball of refracted colored light, enveloping Anmie's body. "Quickly finish this, you only have two minutes."

"It's more than enough." Annihilation gave an OK sign.

Because the refraction skill has changed its frequency, it can no longer achieve an invisibility effect.

However, Annihilation himself was a master of stealth. His figure quickly became ethereal, hiding under the shadow of the floating bridge, like a shadow without substance, and he quickly moved away.

Thirty-seven seconds later, Bai Pu saw the shadow that Anmie had transformed into approach the two demon sentinels.

The two demon sentries suddenly opened their mouths in terror. Before they could even shout, large wisps of black mist poured out of their eyes, ears, and mouths. They collapsed to the ground as if their souls had been drained.

After succeeding in the Annihilation, they immediately shut down the warning array.

As for the defensive barrier, it was already in an inactive state.

The remaining three, Bai Pu and his companions, quickly and stealthily crossed the floating bridge under the invisibility effect of Feng Shenxiu's light-refraction skill, and entered the demon clan's main camp through the studded gate.

Annihilation flicked his wrist and unleashed two orbs of dark energy.

The two demon sentries who had been dead stood up again and stood guard outside the nailed gate in a proper manner.

However, their movements were slightly stiff, and their pupils were completely black, with no whites showing.

"Unless other patrols return, the truth should remain undiscovered."

"Darkness said in a low voice."

Feng Shenxiu gave a thumbs up: "Well done. I've already left a beacon on that returning demon patrol team. Let's find their location first, and then we can follow the clues to find Yanwei."

In fact, Bai Pu had also left a mark of magic sand on the demon patrol team.

However, it seems that Bai Pu no longer needs to provide a mark.

Bai Pu couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "It's so comfortable to team up with a master."

Upon entering the gate, one finds a spacious suspended bridge; the demon race had hollowed out the base of this black mountain.

This black mountain is clearly a volcano, and the steaming lake at its entrance is caused by the heat from the volcanic lava.

As Bai Pu and his group walked on the bridge, they could even see the flowing river of lava below.

Deep within the main camp, the sounds of heavy breathing and the clanging of giant hammers echoed. Clearly, this was not only the main camp of the Rocky Demon Commander, but also the workshop where the Crimson Star Demon Clan crafted war equipment.
