I can find treasures in my dreams.

in the big screen.

Miss Mermaid, after waiting for two seconds without hearing a response, sensed that she wouldn't get an answer, and muttered to herself, "Having lived underground for so long, the wounds in my soul have healed. It's time to go out and take a look."

She smiled again and said, "Mr. Ghost, since you are unwilling to come over, then I will take the initiative to come to you."

The voice just fell.

Her pupils, which were originally light blue, suddenly turned pure gold, with strange symbols faintly shimmering within them.

Her beautiful hair moved without wind, each strand faintly tinged with gold.

Her breathtakingly beautiful face exuded an unapproachable nobility and an indescribable sense of majesty.

The change before and after is like that of a completely different person.

Miss Jia Na gently waved her right hand, and with a "splash," a wave of water surged up, instantly transforming into a curtain of water.

The water curtain, like a mirror, reflected her full image.

She looked at it carefully, nodded slightly, and then stretched out a slender finger to touch the water curtain.

Large ripples spread out, interspersed with fragmented images.

Miss Jia Na immediately took a light step and walked into the water curtain, disappearing from sight.

Colonel Du, the base commander, was completely dumbfounded.

The mermaid has disappeared?

Where is this young lady planning to go?
The officer beside him reminded him, "Colonel, Miss Jia Na has grown legs and then suddenly left. This is a very important matter. We should report it to General Lou immediately."

Colonel Du said "Oh," and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes!"

five minutes later.

Colonel Du put down his phone, looking somewhat bewildered.

When asked about the important information he reported, General Lou simply replied, "I understand."

It seems this high-ranking military official had anticipated what would happen today.

General Lou then issued another order: "Starting today, this base shall be dismantled, and the personnel shall be reassigned."

Three years ago, this place was a top secret of the Great Xia Dynasty and was regarded as an opportunity to change the fate of the Great Xia nation.

Three years later, the base simply vanished.

Colonel Du was momentarily at a loss.

The officer next to him asked, "Colonel, where do you plan to go in the future?"

Colonel Du pondered for a moment, then suddenly laughed: "I've been holed up in the base for three years, and I feel like my bones are about to rust. I want to go to the North Island battlefield."

The officer was taken aback: "It's too dangerous there."

He had intended to say, "If you go to the North Island battlefield, you might die there," but considering that such a statement was unlucky, he swallowed it back.

Colonel Du did not give a direct answer, but instead brought up another topic: "Have you seen the video of Wu Dingtian killing the poisonous ants?"

The officer nodded: "I've seen it."

He clicked his tongue in astonishment and swore, "Chief Wu is fucking incredibly fierce."

This video was not made public, but it became the most popular video on the internal network.

Wu Dingtian, the supreme commander of the Kyushu Legion, single-handedly fought against more than fifty poisonous ants, including one warrior-level poisonous ant.

Wearing an exoskeleton, Wu Dingtian jumped off a Azure Eagle, his mechanical arms wielding two psionic machine guns, and fired wildly at the swarm of poisonous ants, blowing the heads off more than a dozen ants in one go.

The ant warrior leaped into the air, jumping more than 30 meters high, and crashed headfirst into the exoskeleton.

"boom!"

The exoskeleton exploded.

It wasn't caused by the impact and exploded; rather, Wu Dingtian deliberately detonated it.

The poisonous ant warriors were completely unprepared for this move. Their bodies were covered in shrapnel wounds, and their bodies were thrown backward by the shockwave.

Although the injury was not fatal, it severely impaired its senses.

at the same time.

Wu Dingtian also activated the ejection function of his exoskeleton, and cleverly combined it with the power of his internal energy, so that he flew through the air in an arc and appeared right above the poisonous ant warriors.

He swung a massive metal sword, using all his strength to unleash the Hundred Instant Vibration Force, and severed the head of the Poison Ant Warrior in one strike.

The so-called "Hundred Instant Shock Force" is a combat technique that the Canglan people stole from the Iron Fist Clan.

The original combat technique was called "Thousand Instant Shock Force," which required the Iron Fist Man's Iron Spirit. Since the Azure Man did not have Iron Spirit, it was simplified to Hundred Instant Shock Force.

But Wu Dingtian also paid a price.

Before dying, the poisonous ant warrior suddenly spat out a jet of pitch-black venom from its mouthparts.

Unable to dodge in time, Wu Dingtian hastily used his left hand to block.

The hand, encased in a layer of rock armor, melted away instantly, along with the armor itself.

The last scene of the video.

Wu Dingtian fell from a height of tens of meters, crashing heavily to the ground and rolling several times, looking quite disheveled.

He got up without caring, coughing up blood while laughing loudly.

Colonel Du was deeply moved by this scene: "At that time, I awakened my superpowers in the same batch as Lao Wu, and my strength was not much weaker than his."

"Later, Lao Wu made great strides and successfully broke through the first barrier, becoming the number one in the Kyushu Legion."

"Now Lao Wu's physique value has exceeded 200 points, and he can still kill a poison ant warrior single-handedly."

"My physical strength is only 95 points now, and the rate of improvement is getting slower and slower. I have been left far behind by Lao Wu."

“I’ve been thinking about this for a long time when I have nothing to do. I feel that the most fundamental reason why I’m lagging behind is that I lack the tempering that Lao Wu has experienced in life and death.”

"The Secret Manual says that superpowers are mutations of the soul. My fear of life and death trials is like a shackle on my soul."

"If you don't even have the courage to break free from your shackles, how can your superpowers improve much?"

The officer listened in silence.

He used to think of his boss as "a conservative," but now he suddenly realizes that he never really knew him.

Colonel Du suddenly burst into heroic spirit: "Great Xia not only has outstanding figures like Mr. Ghost and Mr. Crow, but also many brave people like Lao Wu."

"I can't lead an era like those two big shots, but I can be a brave person like Lao Wu."

The original world.

Yang Fan, hailed as a "leader of the times," is gazing at a first-class civilization artifact in his hand amidst the vast sandstorm.

The blind man's eye emitted a barely perceptible light, within which a tiny red glow trembled slightly.

This means one thing—there is a knight-level poisonous ant within a radius of 500 kilometers.

Yang Fan clicked his tongue in amazement: "To think there could be such a strange object. The world is truly full of wonders."

He unconsciously had a guess: "Back then, the Iron Fist world was invaded by the Primal Evil Clan, and the leader of the Evil Clan happened to be a knight."

"To the Iron Fist civilization at that time, knights were simply too powerful to be defeated."

"The Iron Fist Man paid a heavy price, with hundreds of millions of lives lost, to finally kill the Evil Knights and end this calamity."

"Could it be that the world's will of the Iron Fist civilization has such a deep impression of knights that it created the Tracking Blind Eye, who specializes in finding powerful knights?"

Yang Fan immediately thought of how the world's will in Gameni was plagued by demons, which led to the creation of the supreme treasure, the Cross-Shaped Demon-Suppressing Eye, which ultimately benefited him.

This is the evidence.

He was somewhat speechless: "So even the world consciousness can suffer from 'post-traumatic stress disorder'."

Yang Fan held the tracking blindfold and carefully placed it close to his left eye.

Something strange happened.

The blind man suddenly became illusory, actively merging into his role.

Yang Fan immediately felt his left eye go black, and he could no longer see anything.

This is—blindness.

He looked on in surprise: "No wonder this thing has the word 'blind' in its name."

Although he couldn't see with his left eye, he clearly sensed a powerful presence somewhere in the northeast direction. This was undoubtedly the Poison Ant Knight.

Yang Fan also vaguely sensed that this monster harbored strong malice towards the Azure People.

A cold glint flashed across his face: "I built a spatial maze on North Island, and the ant swarm actually entered each spatial island in small teams, demonstrating a high level of organization and discipline. How could there not be a commander behind this?"

It's certain that without eliminating the Poison Ant Knights, many more people would die in the North Island War.

Yang Fan controlled the Centipede King to sink below the sand layer and quickly swam towards the location of the Poison Ant Knight.

The centipede king at his feet was the fastest in the Overlord Legion.

Its speed as it travels beneath the sand layer is close to 250 meters per second, which is equivalent to 900 kilometers per hour.

More than half an hour later.

The centipede suddenly stopped.

Using its sand-transformation ability to sense things, it keenly discovered that a large area of ​​quicksand had appeared ahead.

This is not naturally formed quicksand.

Rather, it is the result of some kind of external interference.

Yang Fan's eyes flickered, and he whispered, "Could the Poison Ant Knight be a 'Quicksand Ant'?"

"No wonder I used the 'Myriad Manifestations Illusionary Demon Eye' to control a swarm of flying sand dragonflies and searched so many places on the surface, but I still couldn't find them."

The black sand sea is home to a variety of poisonous ants, among which the quicksand ant is a rather unique one.

They possess a rare ability—to turn solid sand layers into liquid-like quicksand.

This is precisely how quicksand ants hunt; once their prey gets stuck in quicksand, it becomes their meal.

Almost all quicksand ants live underground year after year, rarely stepping onto the surface of the ground throughout their lives.

Yang Fan snorted coldly: "You think I can't do anything to you just because you're hiding in the quicksand area?"

If it were the Iron Fist Clan, even if ten or twenty guardians attacked together, they could only sigh in despair at the "sand".

But he has plenty of ways.

Yang Fan pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "I'll give you a little shock today."

He immediately took out the Legion Tiger Talisman from the Space Pearl and quietly activated the sacred artifact.

A wondrous force swept across the vast desert for thousands of miles, summoning every centipede king.

Half an hour passed quickly.

One hundred and twenty centipede tyrants gathered together.

There are still thirty centipede tyrants that haven't come yet, after all, the world gate of Azure Star still needs protective power.

Yang Fan decisively issued a command: "Charge!"

When strength is insufficient, skill is naturally needed to assist.

When you have overwhelming power, the most perfect technique is to throw a punch directly.

This is what is meant by "great skill lies in simplicity."

"Woo~"

One hundred and twenty centipede tyrants let out a deep roar in unison, which carried far and wide.

They shook their heads and wagged their tails, forming a neat array, and swiftly rushed into the quicksand area ahead.

The quicksand, which was originally flowing slowly, began to flow like water when it sensed the invasion of the enemy, with a speed exceeding ten meters per second.

Furthermore, the flow of sand within the quicksand area is chaotic and disorderly, so even creatures from the Black Sand Sea would be disoriented if they ventured in.

But for the Overlord Legion, this was no problem at all.

They all opened their mouths and spewed out a stream of gray light.

This is the Centipede King's most powerful ability—sandification.

The magical power of the sacred artifacts allows them to communicate with each other and cooperate as if they were one person, no, as if they were a single tyrant.

This is far more powerful than 120 "wild" centipede kingfishers.

After a while.

The quicksand within a 300-meter radius seemed to encounter invisible resistance, its flow rate rapidly decreasing until it came to a complete stop.

Several sand ants hiding in the sand flow suddenly stiffened, and with a "pop," they disintegrated into sand.

They are dead.

This is not just a single Sand Ant Knight, but an entire legion of Sand Ants led by the Knight.

*
dozens of kilometers away.

Deep in the shifting sands.

The quicksand here has formed a giant sphere, more than one kilometer in diameter, with a strange mass of quicksand lurking at its core.

It would be hard for outsiders to imagine that this was the Quicksand Ant Rider.

One of its abilities is to turn its body into sand and completely merge into the vast sea of ​​sand.

This giant sand sphere is the "safe house" that the knight has carefully built for himself.

The sand sphere is divided into hundreds of layers, each flowing in a different direction. Once an enemy breaks in, the hundreds of layers of quicksand will flow wildly and launch attacks from all directions.

Since it was promoted to knight, relying on its powerful abilities, it has roamed the Black Sand Sea for many years, facing many powerful enemies, and even if it couldn't win, it could still retreat unscathed.

After one breath.

The Sand Ant Rider suddenly sensed an unusual movement from afar, and his two pairs of eyes snapped open, a look of shock flashing across them.

The quicksand's sensory abilities allowed it to see a group of enormous creatures rushing into the quicksand area.

More than a hundred centipede tyrants?
How could such huge creatures possibly gather together?
The Sand Ant Rider felt as if his understanding had been overturned.

It hesitated for a moment, then decided to try to drive the centipede away first.

Although there were many of these big guys, they were all at the warrior level, a whole rank higher than it. Plus, the quicksand was its territory, so it felt it had a chance of success.

The Sand Ant Knight hissed and instantly connected with the spirit of the quicksand here.

A few seconds later.

It was very pleased to see a huge strip of quicksand, several kilometers wide, containing a massive amount of sand, surging towards the centipede horde.

This is a carefully orchestrated secret method, cleverly utilizing the supernatural power naturally present in the Black Sand Sea. It is confident that it can fight against any enemy below the Venerable level here.

"Boom!"

They are dozens of kilometers apart.

The quicksand ant riders could clearly hear the enormous roar produced by the quicksand impacting and squeezing.

Two seconds later.

The monster suddenly sensed the presence of five centipede tyrants, which broke through the knight's defenses in an incomprehensible way.

Compared to real knights, their auras clearly had a sense of superficiality, but their strength did indeed reach the level of a knight.

Five centipede tyrants bravely confronted the massive quicksand belt, unleashing powerful supernatural forces at the same time.

"boom!"

A thunderous sound followed.

The Sand Ant Riders immediately sensed that the quicksand belt had completely collapsed, and the Centipede Tyrant Dynasty was advancing straight into the area.

A look of horror flashed across its eyes, and it immediately made a decision—retreat!

These centipede tyrants are clearly not normal; continuing to fight them is not a wise move.

at this time.

The Sand Ant Knight suddenly had a strange feeling, as if a pair of eyes were watching him.

A cold snort rang in my ears: "Trying to run? Too late!"

The monster only felt a blur before its eyes, and from a supernatural perspective, it saw a strange petal emitting a faint, eerie light, shooting towards it along a silver line.

Just by gazing at the petals, it instantly felt an immense sense of oppression. (End of Chapter)
