I can find treasures in my dreams.

ten minutes later.

Miss Jia Na spent a little effort tracking the knight-level quicksand ant to its final resting place.

Since only a short time had passed, the surface of the sand still bore the dent left by the monster's corpse, and the wind and sand had not yet had time to completely bury it.

The mermaid stood gracefully to the side, her beautiful eyes still filled with disbelief: "A civilized world that has only existed for four years can actually give birth to such a powerful being?"

She parted her red lips slightly and murmured, "Could it be that this Mr. Yang Fan has awakened a superior-grade supernatural ability?"

Aside from the overwhelmingly powerful superior ability, she couldn't understand why the other party was able to kill the Sand Ant Knight so quickly.

She thought for a moment and dismissed the guess: "It shouldn't be a high-grade superpower."

In the civilized world, it is usually more than sixty years after the arrival of civilization that there is a very low probability of the birth of high-grade superpowers, while Canglan Star has only been around for a few years.
Miss Jia Na grasped the pendant, which rekindled her ability to trace back.

Now that we have found clearer clues, tracing them will yield more and more accurate information.

"Wow~"

The sound of waves rose.

A drop of water, half-illusory and half-real, emerged from the gem on the pendant and struck the spot where the monster lay dead.

The water droplet burst open, and a stream of water gushed out instantly, transforming into the shape of a monster in the blink of an eye.

Not only are they identical in appearance, but even their skin texture is exactly the same.

"Om~"

The pendant vibrated again.

Miss Jia Na glanced at the corpse, her perfect face showing surprise: "There was no direct combat, and the monster was beaten into a state of soul fragmentation without any resistance. I feel more and more like it has a high-grade superpower."

She mentally considered how she would deal with Yang Fan's attack if she were in the monster's shoes.
The answer is—being tens of kilometers away, they can only passively take the hits without being able to retaliate; there's simply no good way to deal with it.

Another quarter of an hour passed.

In the stinking monster's lair.

Surrounded by a water film, Miss Jia Na gracefully stepped into the completely looted nest.

She walked around the nest, looked at the passage leading to the century-old toilet, and covered her mouth to laugh: "In the words of the Azure people, this should be Mr. Savior's dark history."

"If we told the High Priestess that the Savior was scavenging dung from the monster's lair, she'd be absolutely shocked, wouldn't she?"

The mermaid's forehead emitted another beam of eerie blue light, tearing through space and disappearing.

After a while.

Miss Jia Na traced back again and immediately "saw" a scene.

"boom!"

Just heard a loud noise.

A colossal creature, nearly thirty meters long, suddenly burst forth from the sand.

A large amount of sand and gravel were also swept up into the sky, creating a rather spectacular scene.

This is a spiky sandworm.

As its name suggests, this creature has a dense array of sharp spines on its body, except for its abdomen; an adult has at least a thousand spines.

This spiky sandworm is so large that it probably has no fewer than ten thousand spikes.

The pendant also provided another piece of information—this monster had also reached the level of a knight.

Judging from the posture of the spiky sandworm in mid-air, it did not appear on its own initiative, but was forcibly thrown out by a powerful external force.

Miss Jia Na was taken aback: "You just killed a knight-level quicksand ant, and you're already rushing here to hunt a second knight monster?"

too crazy!

in the screen.

An amazing scene unfolded.

"hiss!"

The spiky sandworm suddenly let out an extremely painful hiss.

Countless bumps instantly appeared on its body surface, and the bumps burst open, giving rise to a lotus flower.

In the blink of an eye.

This large worm was covered in lotus flowers, transforming into a peculiar flower worm.

This scene is quite horrifying, yet it also possesses a cruel beauty.

Yang Fan appeared out of thin air, stepping onto the head of the spiky sandworm.

"Oh!"

There was a muffled sound.

The spiky sandworm's body trembled violently and then went limp.

It disappeared before it even landed, clearly its body had been stored in the storage equipment.

Even the mermaid was stunned.

In all her years, this was the first time she had ever seen a knight kill a monster of knight-level quality as easily as chopping vegetables.

at this time.

"Who?"

An angry shout sounded.

The screen disappeared.

Miss Jia Na was a little surprised, but not too shocked: "Were we discovered so quickly? No wonder you are the savior prophesied by the Holy High Priest."

She looked troubled: "It seems that Mr. Yang Fan is carrying items at the level of laws, and probably more than one. It's probably impossible to trace back to him now. How can I find him?"

Back on Azure Star, she was confident that she could find the other person this time, but now she's a bit dumbfounded.

Miss Jia Na came up with an alternative: "Should we talk to his alter ego?"

Although the souls are the same, how can the royal family of the prestigious Mika civilization discuss such important matters with their clone?
The mermaid gritted her teeth and made up her mind: "Keep searching! My true form will definitely pass through the Gate of Worlds when it returns to Azure Star. If all else fails, I'll guard the Gate of Worlds."

More than a hundred kilometers away.

Yang Fan rode a centipede-like tyrant through the sand, holding the World's Protection Crystal in his hand, his expression somewhat doubtful: "Who is spying on me? Could it be a primordial monster?"

The protective crystal is a law-level existence, possessing powerful protective properties and naturally able to resist the pursuit of supernatural forces.

He used past celestial observations to trace back in time, only to find endless sandstorms.

This indicates that the spy was in the Black Sand Sea.

However, the exact location and other information could not be obtained.

Yang Fan frowned: "The other party is carrying a law-level item that can resist tracking, so they don't seem like a monster. Who would be tracking me?"

He thought for a while, but still had no clue, so he shook his head and said, "Forget it!"

Having just killed a Knight-level Spiked Sandworm, I gained 345 True Essence Points, which is significantly more than the Quicksand Ant.

Unfortunately, sandworms don't have fixed nests, nor do they have the habit of collecting items, so it's impossible to loot a batch of spoils.

Yang Fan glanced at the True Source Value he had accumulated to 982 points and tried using True Source Value for the first time.

He grasped the Soul-Stealing Cicada, and his True Source Value instantly dropped by 20 points.

A faint warmth surged through his body, while a faint coolness washed over his mind.

Ten seconds later.

The anomaly subsided.

Yang Fan immediately sensed something was different.

Although superior-grade abilities are extremely powerful, they also consume an astonishing amount of mental energy. Having activated superior-grade abilities with all my might in the previous sessions, I had consumed about one-fifth of my mental energy, leaving me with a slight feeling of fatigue.

Now, after adding points, most of my depleted mental energy has been restored, and the feeling of fatigue has disappeared.

This is clearly the effect of the true source value.

Yang Fan was pleasantly surprised: "True Source Value actually has the effect of restoring health and mana. I won't have to worry about not having enough mental energy when I encounter intense battles in the future."

He checked the attributes again.

[Physical Strength: 1214] [Spiritual Strength: 1967]

【Yuan Gang: 40268】

As the level of a beginner knight stabilizes, it becomes increasingly difficult to improve their physical and mental attributes.

In the past three days, despite his diligent cultivation, both of his attributes have only increased by 1 point each.

He had a strong feeling that things would get harder and harder as time went on.

Once your spirit value exceeds 2000 points, relying solely on cultivation, it might take half a month of hard work to increase it by just 1 point.

Yang Fan put away the Spirit Cicada and muttered, "I'll have to kill more knights more often from now on."

Azure Star.

North Island Battlefield, Space Island S4.

At the Pioneer Alliance meeting, Chairman Yu Changlong announced that Daxia had constructed a total of 318 space islands on the North Island.

That's not the case.

The actual number is 324 space islands.

The six extra space islands, numbered from S1 to S6, were deliberately concealed by the Great Xia Dynasty.

The terrain of these space islands is very special. The entrance is relatively narrow and long, and it becomes more open as you go in, which is the so-called "trumpet" shape.

The construction of space islands is not arbitrary; the distribution of spatial energy must be taken into account, which is why only 6 islands were built in this way.

The Great Xia military deployed extremely dense firing positions in the open areas of the S1 to S6 space islands, and when the poisonous ants rushed in through the horn-shaped openings, they were blasted to smithereens.

Because of the limited space at the entrance, the poisonous ants had nowhere to hide.

So this is simply a natural terrain suitable for hunting venomous ants. Why should other countries benefit from such a good place to obtain venomous ant materials?
That is why the Great Xia Dynasty decisively concealed it.

at this time.

Wearing a Tiangong No. 3 exoskeleton, Zhao Xiaoying held four Type 33 Elite psionic sniper rifles, staring intently at the entrance to the space island five kilometers away.

Each psionic sniper rifle is 2.5 meters long, with strange silver patterns engraved on the barrel, and a faint glow can be seen flowing within them.

The difference between the so-called "elite" model and the "elite" model lies in the silver pattern on the barrel.

This is something that the "normal" version doesn't have.

As the top sniper in Great Xia, Zhao Xiaoying unsurprisingly received a transfer order and was temporarily assigned to the North Island battlefield.

A few seconds later.

A faint ripple appeared at the entrance.

Zhao Xiaoying narrowed her eyes, then decisively pulled the triggers with both hands, while simultaneously using her metal nerves to control the mechanical arms to pull the triggers of the other two sniper rifles.

"Oh!"

The interval between each gunshot is less than one millisecond, so it sounds as if only one shot was fired.

The silver patterns on the barrel flashed for a moment, and the specially made 28mm psionic bullet flew out at more than six times the speed of sound.

That translates to an astonishing speed of two kilometers per second.

Most notably, the speed of the psionic bullet does not decrease within three seconds of being fired.

In contrast, the muzzle velocity of a regular gun is only four times the speed of sound. As the psionic bullet flies, its speed will decrease rapidly due to air resistance.

The secret lies in the silver patterns.

This thing uses three different materials and employs a very special manufacturing process; a single barrel is worth 800 million Xia Yuan.

Only sharpshooters like the long-legged girl are qualified to use elite sniper rifles.

2.5 seconds later.

Four psionic sniper bullets flew to the entrance.

at the same time.

Five howling flying ants entered the space island.

They are among the few flying species of poisonous ants, and they like to emit extremely sharp, mournful cries, which have a certain sonic attack effect.

Each psionic sniper bullet struck the head of a howling flying ant with exceptional precision.

The sniper bullet unleashed tremendous force, instantly blowing his head off.

"Crack! Crack!"

The headless corpse fell down.

Subsequently.

The other three snipers then opened fire.

"Boom! Boom!"

The three sniper bullets formed a perfectly positioned crossfire point, leaving the remaining howling flying ant with no way to avoid being hit in the abdomen by a sniper bullet, its internal organs spilling out.

Zhao Xiaoying released the triggers with both hands and calmly watched the scene unfold.

Her longtime partner, Liu Ju, exclaimed in amazement, "Xiaoying, you're amazing!"

Liu Ju pressed further, "How did you predict the location where the Howling Flying Ants would appear?"

Zhao Xiaoying uttered a single word: "Feeling."

This statement is somewhat like saying nothing at all.

Liu Ju looked at him with admiration: "I feel that your marksmanship has improved to a whole new level since we last met."

Not only her, but the other snipers also looked over with amazement.

Zhao Xiaoying said calmly, "It's not that exaggerated."

Although she appeared calm, she was actually quite surprised.

This kind of amazing prediction is not the result of accumulated practice over time.

It's a skill that suddenly appears.

To be precise, I had an intimate relationship with the fishmonger at the Yaochi base a few days ago, and that's how I gained this ability.

She knew perfectly well that this ability was something she had acquired through sleep.

Zhao Xiaoying stared at the entrance to the space and muttered to herself, "The fishmonger actually has such abilities. No wonder that slut told me to sleep with the fishmonger more. I thought she was just talking nonsense because she was horny, but it turns out she really meant well."

The long-legged girl even had an extremely absurd thought: "If the fishmonger slept with all the female superhumans in Great Xia, Great Xia's overall strength would probably increase significantly."

She immediately rejected the idea: "How could I have such a stupid thought? There aren't enough for two people to share, what would happen if there were thousands more women?"

soon.

Several mechanical spiders rushed forward and quickly dragged the corpse of the howling flying ant back.

The purpose of the Great Xia's purchase of these mechanical spiders was originally to undertake ground attack missions on the battlefield, as they could run at speeds of nearly 150 kilometers per hour across rugged mountainous terrain.

In actual use, the military primarily uses it for various logistical tasks, such as collecting spoils of war.

Liu Ju suddenly asked a gossipy question: "Xiaoying, I heard that you and Mr. Yang Fan did *that* at the Kunlun Yaochi base?"

Zhao Xiaoying was taken aback: "How did you know?"

Yang Fan is a recipient of the highest national medal, and all information related to him is classified. When she entered his suite for two consecutive nights, someone reminded her to keep it confidential afterwards.

She was speechless at the time, that sleeping with the recipient of the highest national medal could actually be a secret.

Liu Ju chuckled: "Of course, someone told me that you had an intimate relationship with Mr. Yang Fan, so you are a person who enjoys special protection. If something happens to you, the country will have a hard time explaining to Mr. Yang Fan."

Zhao Xiaoying spat out, "How boring."

Liu Ju feigned a sigh and said, "It's better to sleep well than to work hard."

at this time.

A bright red message suddenly popped up on the two people's vision helmets, accompanied by a "beep beep" notification sound.

This is a warning message: "Please be aware that a large swarm of venomous ants is about to enter the spatial maze."

Zhao Xiaoying's eyes sharpened as she looked at her.

The message mentioned a "spatial labyrinth" without specifying a particular spatial island, suggesting this was a full-scale attack launched by the swarm of poisonous ants. (End of Chapter)
