I have to get lucky right away.

Chapter 623 Enemy of Order?

"It seems this isn't an isolated case!"

The number of dung beetles, cobras, and canines is not large, only about twenty or thirty in total, but they cooperate quite well. The dung beetles act as shields in front, while the cobras constantly leap up from behind them to spray venom, and then disappear behind their shells again.

Meanwhile, the canines constantly harassed the dragon-tooth soldiers from the flanks, drawing their attention and creating openings for the cobras to attack. When Feng Xue sent her dragon-tooth soldiers to attack them, the dragon-tooth soldiers would use their adaptation to the desert environment to retreat behind the dung beetles, seemingly determined to inflict no effective damage without defeating the dung beetles.

These dung beetles seem to possess properties such as magic reflection, giving them a bit of a tank-infantry synergy feel to them.

"I knew there were many monsters on the journey to the West, but this is just too much!" Chen Xuan was completely taken aback by this army-like attack. Feng Xue, while ordering the Dragon Fang Soldiers to attack the dung beetle, managed to retort to him:
"Look closely, this isn't a monster, it's a ghost!"

"Ghost?!" Chen Xuan subconsciously looked up at the blazing sun overhead. What kind of ghost would turn into a dung beetle, a cobra, and a dog to fight in the middle of the day under the scorching sun?
Feng Xue didn't explain to him anymore, but focused on controlling the Dragon Tooth Soldiers to charge forward. Faced with physical attacks, the dung beetles did not show the same glass-wall-like defensive capabilities as before. Although their shells were still sturdy, they could not remain unscathed under the Dragon Tooth Soldiers' weapons armed with primordial matter.

However, Feng Xue also noticed something: every time the Dragon Tooth Soldier attacked the dung beetle, some of its spiritual energy was lost. It wasn't from counterattacks or extraction, but something more direct, like "it should be this way." If you had to put it in perspective, it was somewhat like the paralyzing effect of Zeus's lightning strike. It wasn't because of the electric shock that it was paralyzed, but because being hit meant it should be paralyzed.

"Is this also the power of destiny? Indeed, even with the same foundation, different cultural atmospheres will produce different ways of using it!"

Feng Xue nodded slightly, but Chen Xuan was already numb. He kicked away a large scorpion that crawled out of the sand behind him, his face dark as he said:
"Big brother, can we wait until we win the battle before we start researching this?"

"Alright!" Feng Xue didn't refuse Chen Xuan's suggestion. On the surface, that was all that could be seen. He pointed his finger, and stars fell on the Dragon Fang Soldiers who were showing signs of weakness.

Having obtained the Star Official rank, the Dragon Tooth Soldiers quickly transformed into unparalleled warriors, instantly shattering several dung beetles. Although they still suffered some backlash, the Dragon Tooth Soldiers behind them immediately filled in, their longswords gleaming with starlight slashing down and shredding the annoying cobra archers in a few swift strokes.

However, upon seeing this situation, the canines did not flee. Instead, they charged at Feng Xue as if committing suicide. But faced with Bi Su's protection, these creatures, lacking any specific sexual abilities, could only scratch at the wall in vain, and were eventually killed one by one by the returning Dragon Tooth Soldiers.

"No body... Could it really be a ghost?"

Chen Xuan used the move "Fokkeyou" to shatter the scorpion that had ambushed him. A look of disbelief appeared on his face. When he looked back, he found that the "creatures" that had been killed by Feng Xuelong's soldiers had also left no trace!

"I already told you it's a ghost!" Feng Xue shrugged, then flicked two fingers, trying to catch the remaining will power in the air. But to his astonishment, he couldn't catch even a trace of the remaining energy!

If the fact that the Soul-Binding Curse couldn't capture him was only somewhat interesting to him, then this situation truly shocked him!
Whether they are illusory gods, spirits, or real vengeful ghosts, their existence in physical form is essentially a technique of relying on magical power, willpower, or other energies to sustain their souls.

Even if the enemy has absolute control over the soul itself, the energy that serves as a vessel and consumable should be "free," or at least not completely lost!

Of course, there are also methods that involve directly relying on physical bodies or magical artifacts like dolls, but if that's the case, there will inevitably be traces left after being defeated. However, there are obviously no such things on the sandy ground now.

"Looks like we need to find a way to capture the controller!" Feng Xue reached out and patted the Heavenly Bag, and nanounits immediately flew out, quickly combining into drones that flew into the sky. Feng Xue put on the smart glasses, and the images captured by the drones were immediately projected onto the lenses.

[Guan Tianshou] was immediately deployed, and as the drone continued to rise, several numbers finally appeared in the field of vision.

"Most of them have ten or twenty thousand years left to live... In terms of lifespan, that's not very long!"

Feng Xue thought to herself, but did not hesitate. She rushed a stream of energy into Mo Ying's soul. Upon receiving the command, Mo Ying let out a sound in her hometown dialect that sounded more like a coquettish complaint. She braved the scorching sun and flew towards the direction where her lifespan was located.

The enemy has a strong ability to control ghosts and spirits, so Feng Xue did not expect Mo Ying to capture people. He reached out and pressed Chen Xuan's shoulder, and before he could ask, the Spirit Ghost Transporting Technique was already triggered!
"Shh!"

Chen Xuan felt a sudden dizziness, and the next moment he found himself in an unfamiliar... well, a desert, which was hard to say whether it was unfamiliar or not. The only difference was that there were five people wrapped in robes in front of him.

"Big brother, these are..."

Although Chen Xuan inquired, he already had a general idea in mind. Feng Xue was simply surprised to see these few weaklings who had fallen into a state of bewitching in such a short time, and for a moment she was somewhat suspicious.

"Are you sure you caught the right one? This doesn't look like the kind of expert who could control those kinds of spirits at all."

"I don't know, but there are only a few living people around, and they've all been affected by the Bewitching Heart. Why don't you just ask them?" Mo Ying was a little surprised that she was able to succeed. Using the Bewitching Heart nowadays is more of a "habit," a gamble, but who would have thought that these people wouldn't even have a chance to resist before falling for it.

However, since she was under his spell, it was impossible for her to keep the secret. Feng Xue casually locked one of them before saying:
"Who are you? Why are you attacking me?"

The man, possessed by a demon, stared blankly and uttered a string of foreign words in a wooden tone. After being translated by the nanometer unit, the words entered Feng Xue's ears—

“My name is Totohotep, priest of the great god Toto, who has been commanded by the god Toto to capture the enemy of order.”

"The enemy of order? Does that mean us?" Chen Xuan also heard the translation and pointed at himself with the clear, foolish look of a college student.

Feng Xue grinned but didn't respond. Although the order from God Toto was somewhat strange, he still asked the question that concerned him most first.

"How do you control those animal spirits?"
