I have to get lucky right away.

Chapter 397 Abilat Island is dangerous for everyone

Feng Xue stood before the corpse, gently wiping the blood from her hands. Under the cover of the torrential rain, Mo Ying's illusion magic was quite effective, and with her cleanup skills, she could absorb all the remaining ghostly energy afterward, leaving no trace even for Sarah to detect. However…

"I thought it would be stronger."

Hearing Feng Xue's words of feigning innocence after getting a good deal, Fina outwardly used Bessie's suit to offer compliments, but secretly transmitted her voice through the nanomembrane:

"If you want to fight strong opponents, just change your target. The shipyard itself is not a very important logistics department. It is already considered high-level to have a God-Chosen One guarding it. If you directly attack the weapons workshop, port, or breeding farm, it is not surprising to encounter one or two with phantom beasts."

"Let's go then. I remember there's a weapon shop around here." Feng Xue opened her umbrella again, but Fina said:
"Our mission isn't to kill, it's to sabotage the shipyard. Your departure now means our mission isn't complete!"

"So isn't this exactly what I'm about to do?" Feng Xue said, picking up a gun she had retrieved from the corpse and seemingly casually pulling the trigger.

Despite the already difficult conditions of firing bullets in the rain, Xiao Lingdang's precise aim led her to hit one piece of outdoor equipment after another.

As the sound of breaking came, Feng Xue casually tossed the pistol aside.

"The things that were damaged were worthless but also difficult to repair. We either had to bring in a new batch or hire someone to repair them over a month or two."

After a brief reconnaissance, Sarah reported the results of the sabotage operation, which Fina found somewhat unbelievable.

"Is his shooting skill really that good?"

"Otherwise what? What do you think he relies on to fight against an excellent-level expert with that weak body? Isn't it just high precision? After a certain point, there's not much difference between close combat precision and shooting precision. I would find it strange if he didn't have that precision."

Sarah's words left Fina somewhat at a loss for words. Although she had begun to accept that Feng Xue was quite capable in combat, his fragility had become a stereotype, to the point that she lacked a real sense of how strong he actually was. Even when she saw unbelievable achievements, she would naturally attribute them to the incredible power of a god. Of course, Feng Xue's high-precision shooting was indeed due to divine intervention.

As before, Fina took a badge from the corpse of the chosen one and then quickly caught up with Feng Xue, acting like a younger brother.

Soon, more figures began to gather, but this time it was not the "hyena" that had arrived before, but the person in charge of the Reid family who had been responsible for welcoming Feng Xue.

"This newcomer is really decisive! Wasn't he supposed to be better at assassination than direct combat?"

Seeing the scene in the hall that looked like an internal conflict had occurred, the person in charge instructed his men to start cleaning the dock, while he himself checked the condition of the corpses one by one.

"I don't know. There are no traces of divine magic left. At most, he strengthened his body with divine favor. As for the traces at the scene, it should be the feeling that he dodged all the attacks at an extremely high speed and fed them back to the people next to him. This is consistent with what we saw before. In addition, the mental fluctuations of the two people are consistent with the samples taken from the temple, so they should be the same people."

A man completely concealed in a long robe responded in this way, and the person in charge nodded in agreement:
“It’s good that the newcomer is capable. When he comes back, give him a more lucrative position.”

Whether or not the territory is given to them is secondary. The main reason why the person in charge personally made this trip is to see if there are any tricks in the way these two fight.

Theft of official positions and titles has been rampant throughout history. Although the development of media and communication has increased the probability of being exposed, the ever-advancing techniques of plastic surgery and makeup still cannot eliminate the problem. Not to mention, anything can happen on this vast ocean. If two deacons favored by the gods were to be replaced while crossing the sea, it would cause a huge uproar.

This is the fundamental reason why, even though the ship was right next to them, they still allowed the two men to take a round of shelling first.

In reality, abilities are secondary. What's truly important is the mental fluctuations that the two individuals release during the battle. By comparing these mental fluctuations with the sampled information from the headquarters temple, it's possible to confirm whether it's the real person in this era where even DNA expression can be faked.

Now that his identity has been confirmed, there's no need for the person in charge to linger here. As the black luxury sedan opened its door, he was about to get in when the expression of the man hidden in the robe behind him suddenly changed.

But by then it was too late. The moment the black sedan door opened, a fireball began to expand rapidly, and in the next instant, the entire dock was engulfed in flames.

……

"Why did it explode? Could it be that one of the power furnaces was accidentally crushed?" Feng Xue, who had already walked quite a distance, looked back and muttered something inexplicably. Fina just shook her head and ignored her; her mind was completely focused on the ruins.

"Calm down, your mental fluctuations are about to dissipate." Sensing Fina's emotional change, Feng Xue quickly reminded her. Sarah's control was activated simultaneously, and Fina seemed to have been given a forced calming spell, instantly snapping out of her chaotic thoughts.

But the feeling of being about to strike but suddenly being hit with a stick left her momentarily speechless.

"Ah, oh!"

Seeing Fina's state, Feng Xue sighed. If he weren't genuinely interested in the ruins of the pre-civilization, he really wouldn't want to play a stealth game with such a potential bomb that could explode at any moment.

Fortunately, Sarah proved to be reliable. Seeing that Fina's mental state was under control, he cautiously transmitted his voice:

Where are the ruins located? When do you plan to go?

“The Lupo family built a secret passage, located in their original family territory, which is probably still under contention.” As she spoke, Fina opened the Reid family's terminal, glanced at the current territorial distribution on Abilat Island, and then said:
"That block is currently occupied by the Hati family, but there are two streets next to it that belong to the Reid family."

"This location?"

Upon hearing Fina's description, Feng Xue immediately located the position using the map projected into her mind by the little bell. After observing the complex distribution of forces in the surrounding area, she thought for a moment and said:
"There's a weapons shop right next door. Let's go take it down in a bit, and scout it out while we're at it..."

"No need to step on it, that's my house!" Fina rolled her eyes inwardly, her tone complicated.

"Don't go over there today. According to the custom of the twelve families, core members who go out on missions will be assigned a territory. If they are asked later what kind of territory they want, just say you like ice cream..."
