Destiny Rekindled

Chapter 174 The target disappeared! [Peripheral activities chapter] (April 3050 monthly tickets plus)

No matter what, Qin Chuan is still happy that his good friend can have a good future.

"Oh yeah, how are you and that Amy doing?"

He suddenly remembered Xiaopang's partner in the dream world and asked casually.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this question, Xiaopang suddenly fell silent.

After a moment, he ate the rest of the sausage in one gulp, his expression filled with grief and indignation, "Qin Chuan, listen to my advice, don't trust the pretty female players in the dream world!"

Qin Chuan: “…Ah?”

"Fake! All fake!" Xiaopang chewed his sausage, his expression gradually becoming ferocious. "I finally got Amy's real-life contact information, guess what?"

"That Amy is a perverted gay in real life! His chest hair is thicker than my leg hair!"

"He also said that he likes me and wants to develop a relationship with me in real life!" When he said this, Xiaopang couldn't help rubbing his arms and got goose bumps.

"Puchi~" Qin Chuan laughed out loud.

After a moment, he managed to hold back his laughter and patted Xiaopang's shoulder sympathetically, "So what's your situation now? You're not teaming up with him anymore, right?"

"Of course not." The little fat head shook like a rattle, "It just so happened that the person in charge of the Longmen Camp contacted me, and I joined the camp."

"That's okay." Qin Chuan nodded slightly.

With Xiaopang's strength and personality, he should be able to live well in Longmen Camp.

When the bell rang, the two threw the wooden sticks in their hands into the trash can beside them and returned to the classroom side by side.

As the teacher entered the classroom, Xiaopang once again began to study hard.

Qin Chuan looked out the window in a daze.

Speaking of which, Yueli’s dream world image is also very beautiful.

I wonder what she looks like in real life?
Xiaopang’s experience flashed through Qin Chuan’s mind for a moment, and he shook his head violently.

Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Yue Li couldn't possibly be a foot-picking guy!
"clang--"

"Ding--"

The sound of metal clashing echoed in the playground shrouded in the night. Qin Chuan gasped and quickly retreated with a knife in his hand, avoiding the heavy halberd that Ji Huai swept over.

"Ten moves." Ji Huai stopped what he was doing. "Congratulations. You managed to last ten moves despite my full-strength attack."

"Teacher Ji, what stage am I in now?" Qin Chuan smiled with a bit of pride on his face.

With the skills training every night, he made rapid progress.

Of course, this has a lot to do with the improvement in his overall quality after practicing the Unnamed Breathing Method.

"Small accomplishment, right?" Ji Huai said calmly, "It's ok to bully beginners."

Qin Chuan's smile froze.

It is very difficult to hear a word of praise from Demon King Ji.

"Teacher Ji, can I still learn from you from now on?" Qin Chuan suddenly asked.

Today is the last cultural class in school, and also the last class of the Extraordinary Theory Class and the Extraordinary Practical Class.

From then on, if he didn't come to school, Ji Huai would no longer have his own special treatment.

But Qin Chuan still wants to continue studying.

Weapon skills are not only about the use of weapons, but also about the improvement of combat proficiency. Now Qin Chuan is much more efficient in killing monsters, and Ji Huai has made an indelible contribution to this.

"There is a training ground at the Special Affairs Group headquarters, from 1 to 2 p.m. every day."

Hearing this, Qin Chuan's eyes lit up, "Thank you, Teacher Ji!"

"But not tomorrow or the day after tomorrow." Ji Huai disassembled and recycled the weapons in the hands of the two men. "We acted together before. Do you still remember the corpse of the fourth-level monster I killed?"

"When the responders arrived, the body was gone."

"The corpses of the six third-level monsters were left where they were."

"In the past two days, the investigators have found some clues that there should be several fourth-level monsters lurking in the suburbs of Changxing City." Ji Huai said calmly. "Do you need my help?" Qin Chuan asked quickly.

"You stay in the city." Ji Huai shook his head.

Qin Chuan couldn't help but frown.

Although Ji Huai can deal with one fourth-level monster, he is not able to handle multiple fourth-level monsters now, right?
Isn’t this a bit too arrogant?
Seeing Qin Chuan's doubts, Ji Huai explained, "Zhou Zixiu thinks that the clues we found may have been deliberately exposed by the monster."

"The fourth-level monster may be more cunning than we thought."

"Letting you stay in the city is a form of insurance."

"As for me..." Ji Huai raised his eyelids, "If I can't win, I'll just retreat."

"Okay." Hearing this, Qin Chuan nodded slightly.

It’s enough for Ji Huai to know the answer.

It was getting late, and after the two parted, Qin Chuan quickly returned to his rental house.

Sitting on the bed, he was still thinking about the fourth-level monster that Ji Huai mentioned.

The clues found may have been deliberately exposed by the monster...

So what is the purpose of these monsters?

At fixed time periods, humans will enter the dream world with their consciousness as the entrance to the dream world opens. Monsters will also fall into a deep sleep of consciousness at the same time period.

This kind of slumber is similar to forced hibernation. During the period of silence, the monster's physical strength will be greatly improved, and the speed of mutation will accelerate.

One of the main reasons why monsters can mutate at such a fast speed and a fourth-level monster can appear in a very short time is that they are in a deep sleep.

Because of the existence of Shenmue, Qin Chuan doesn't have to worry about monsters taking advantage of humans entering the dream world to sneak into human cities.

Apart from this, he couldn't think of any other tricks the monster could use.

Not thinking about it anymore, Qin Chuan slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep.

The next day.

Ji Huai set out early in the morning with a dozen strong members of the special affairs team, following the clues found by the investigators, and headed all the way to the lair where the fourth-level monster was hiding.

After killing the intercepting monsters along the way, a dozen people finally stood at the entrance of a dark cave.

Before they entered, they smelled a nauseating stench and smell of blood coming from the cave entrance.

"Leave it to me." A woman in the team spoke in a deep voice. As the breeze blew, the air around them instantly became clear, and possible toxins and other harmful substances were also eliminated.

She raised her hand and condensed several balls of light that scattered among the crowd, then nodded towards Ji Huai.

"Follow me closely." Ji Huai said calmly and stepped into the cave.

A dozen people behind him hurriedly followed.

Under the illumination of the light ball, the scene inside the cave is clearly visible.

After taking a few steps, everyone's faces turned gloomy.

Countless spider-like webs hung from the top of the rock wall in the cave, and in each spider web hung a corpse that had completely turned into a mummy.

Most of them belong to monsters, but some of them belong to humans.

"We can't identify them with the naked eye. We need to take them back for DNA comparison." A man quickly stepped forward and looked at them for a moment with a serious expression. "There have been cases of people going missing in the area before, but we didn't find any clues during the investigation. I suspect these people might be missing persons."

Ji Huai exerted a little more force on the hand holding the long knife, and continued to move deeper with his hand in silence.

Along the way, the increasing number of hanging mummies made everyone's expressions more and more solemn.

When they reached the deepest part of the cave, they saw a huge spider web nest suspended in the air.

There was no trace of any monster in the nest.

"The spider silk here is very new." One of them quickly discovered the clue and got closer to observe a section of the spider silk before speaking loudly, "That guy didn't leave for long!"

Ji Huai was silent for a moment, with murderous intent revealed in his eyes.

"Chase!"
