Cosmic Demon

Chapter 252 Void Beast Horde, Reporting to the Boss!

The four pillars, deeply imprinted within the mortal body, symbolize the emblems, with the one belonging exclusively to the "Celestial Beings" suddenly lighting up.

Lines of text appeared on the monument panel, their faint traces brushing against my retina.

The celestial beings cast their gaze upon you.

[Suppress heretical teachings and exterminate evil spirits!]

[Blessing and Transformation...]

[Basic Talent - Insight]

Qin Shi strode into the substation, which almost completely overlapped with the Netherworld. The entire space was dark, like a thick curtain covering it.

Spiderweb-like cracks crisscrossed the area, resembling tree-like lightning slowed down a million times, with blackish-purple light flickering and spewing out dense streams of energy.

"call!"

Qin Shi felt his pores open up, and his body-cultivating furnace started at full speed, frantically absorbing one cloud of misty energy after another.

While receiving information from the monument panel, he released the "confinement" from his mortal body.

The powerful force surged like thunder, and the perfect-grade electric shock saber hummed and vibrated, as if it were about to shoot out of its sheath.

"Insight... The pillar boss is so considerate. He lets me legally cheat!"

Qin Shi General plunged his sword into the ground, gripped the dark red hilt, and slowly pulled it out. The powerful force that had nowhere to go rushed into the blade as if a flood had been released!
With a violent roar, the blade vibrated several times before perfectly merging with the mortal body, becoming one with it.

You are being watched by celestial beings.

[Gain 80% weapon mastery bonus...]

Qin Shi gripped the dark red hilt of the sword and activated the [Insight] achievement.

Almost instantly, his perspective changed drastically, his sea of ​​consciousness rippled, and his mental energy spread like radar, reaching a distance of a thousand meters.

Immediately afterwards, long rectangular frames, some gold, some purple, and some even red, appeared in my eyes.

"Use X-ray vision to search the image, this round is in the bag."

Qin Shi took a deep breath, his surging life force propelling his mortal body forward. His electric saber flashed and pierced through the void.

Click!
Like tearing silk!

A nearly two-meter-tall, transparent creature resembling a scarecrow was revealed and cleaved in two.

The black flames, as thin as snakes, were intense. A highly condensed stream of energy was completely absorbed by the electric shock saber, making the blade's cold light even brighter.

"First, take out the weaklings, and then..."

Qin Shi turned to the side and looked intently at the southeast corner of the substation, where there were extremely valuable "contamination samples".

[Insight] The achievement scan showed a faint golden light, which, compared to the vast majority of blue and purple items, indicates that it is a high-value item.

"One, two, three, four... nineteen."

Qin Shi meticulously counted the monsters revealed by [Insight]. Each of his breaths was like a muffled thunderclap, faintly echoing in the substation.

Those transparent creatures that cannot be observed with the naked eye are captured by long rectangular frames, leaving them nowhere to hide.

A flash of light from the blade tore through space!

One burst after another of black flames erupted, leaving behind charred marks, like charcoal smears.

The boots moved with each step, landing on the rough cement ground.

As Qin Shi walked through the substation, each time he swung his sword, he would take away a transparent creature.

It seems like he's the boss here!

……

……

"Captain, there are a large number of 'juvenile Void Beasts' roaming around this substation."

The petite woman with the watermelon-shaped haircut hopped around, and once inside the contaminated area, she put on a blindfold, making her unable to see anything, just like a blind person.

Her "analysis" ability, a key feature of her psionic pathways, allows her to act as a "tactical analyst" for the Ox-Horse Squad, providing detailed intelligence.

"Although it is only in its juvenile form, the Void Beast has the talent of 'concealment,' making it difficult to detect even with the most keen aura search or mental perception."

"Watermelon Head said in a low voice."

"Once you are surrounded, you are likely to be devoured."

The short-haired woman, as the team leader, is undoubtedly very capable.

She drew her twin swords, ready for battle.

"My special ability is 'Divine Might,' so I'm fairly confident against Void Beasts."

The short-haired woman focused her mind and slowly made her way through the open gates of the substation. With each step, she felt a sense of impending danger, as if walking on thin ice, fearing that a void beast might suddenly attack!
The huge substation was extremely quiet, with only the occasional sound of electrical sparks.

It crackled and sizzled.

“On the night of the Black Moon, the Void Beasts should also be affected.”

The short-haired woman held her breath, and the man with the watermelon-shaped haircut didn't dare to breathe too loudly either, closely following her steps.

As they ventured deeper into the center of the substation, the short-haired woman's pupils suddenly dilated. She saw a dark space with scorched marks that slanted and twisted like a child's scribbles, lingering for a long time.

"Forehead……"

The short-haired woman calmed herself down, and her tense nerves suddenly relaxed.

The captain's thin lips curved into a smile, and he said self-deprecatingly:

"We miscalculated; it seems the boss doesn't really need our help."

The boy with the watermelon-shaped haircut, wearing an eye mask and unaware of the outside situation, asked:
"Captain, what happened? I can't sense the presence of the Void Beast."

The short-haired woman shook her head; she didn't know how to describe the scene.

Those charred marks imprinted in the void are like road signs erected by the roadside, representing the direction the boss is heading.

It also means the death of countless Void Beasts!

"The battle ended quickly, with almost no resistance."

How did he do that? So many Void Beasts, like lambs to the slaughter.

The short-haired woman stood still, her brows slightly furrowed.

As the leader of the support team, she has extensive experience and is familiar with most of the various familiar creatures.

Young Void Beasts are not only adept at hiding, making them impossible to find even with advanced instruments, but they can also tear through space and move at high speeds, making them difficult for even professional-level creatures to deal with.

He is a top-tier assassin!

This is a very difficult problem to solve.

Generally speaking, if you encounter a Void Beast Horde in a contaminated area...

If there are more than five targets, players below the fourth rank of professional level should avoid them.

"The boss's spiritual cultivation shouldn't have reached the level of 'sitting in oblivion,' so how did he lock onto the Void Beast?"

The short-haired woman was puzzled, and then followed the charcoal-like marks as she continued walking forward.

Bang!
She heard a loud bang, like a thunderbolt striking the ground, and the ground seemed to tremble faintly.

"Oh no! The first tide of the Black Moon night is coming!"

Watermelon Head exclaimed in surprise. In her perception, the black moon hanging in the night sky was projecting terrifying energy fluctuations downwards.

This is the "Black Moon Tide"!
All their companion creatures will be greatly enhanced in aggression and combat power when infected!
The short-haired woman didn't say much, but quickened her pace, hoping to catch up with her boss and prevent him from being surrounded.

No matter how strong a person's strength is, it is still extremely limited.

This is precisely the significance of the support team!

boom!
A dark hole, about half the size of a parking lot, appeared in the space. Void beasts roared and howled, like wooden sticks cutting through the water, creating visible ripples.

"Thirty heads..."

The short-haired woman had a serious expression. In the dim space of the substation, her transparent silhouette appeared and disappeared intermittently, making it extremely difficult to track her movements.

"It looks like they're about to use their trump card!"

The captain of the cattle and horse team held his breath, his eyes sharp and resolute.

He gripped his twin swords tightly, crossing them as he prepared to charge into the battlefield!
"Eh……"

The next moment, the short-haired woman clearly saw a white line running across the sky, flashing rapidly like parting waves, and all the void beasts along the way were directly cut in half.

"Is that the boss?"

The short-haired woman could not hide the shock in her eyes. The dark space was cleaved open, and a figure wielding a knife rushed out like lightning.

Wherever it passed, black flames erupted!

Even though the Void Beasts tore through space and appeared and disappeared intermittently, the figure wielding the knife was faster than them, as if it had locked onto them firmly.

The blade flashes and slashes, maneuvering and charging, like a white lightning bolt that twists and turns freely in a narrow space!
In less than ten seconds, all the void beasts that emerged from the dark rift were annihilated!
Clang!
The saber was sheathed, and a calm gaze pierced through the dim space, landing on the short-haired woman.

"Boss, hello! This is the Ox and Horse Team reporting for duty!"

She shuddered and instinctively straightened her posture as she spoke.
