Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 102 Consciousness
"The existence of the mist has certain characteristics, namely, the presence of strange beasts and monsters. The two are interdependent, with the mist providing shelter for the strange beasts and the strange beasts providing coordinates for the mist."

Yang Kaitai tried to persuade them in his own way: "If we can kill all the strange beasts and monsters in the fog, or even kill them to a certain proportion, the fog will still selectively disappear."

"Like a person, when the situation is unfavorable, avoid the enemy's sharp edge."

Ji Fuyou Road.

Yang Kaitai nodded: "In the mist, there are often varying numbers of boss-level monsters, and above these boss-level monsters, there are commander-level monsters! If we can kill the commander-level monsters, then only the boss-level monsters will be left to lead their respective groups to fight. If the boss-level monsters also die, the remaining monsters will become a disorganized mess."

A glint of light flashed in his eyes: "At that time, with the cooperation of our teammates, we can easily defeat the monsters and beasts one by one, reducing their numbers to a level below our strength, so that the mist will realize that things are hopeless and retreat on its own initiative, thus saving Blue Moon City!"

Save Blue Moon City!
A very bright and lofty goal.

An irresistible sense of righteousness.

As individuals with certain privileges and advanced mental abilities, they also have an obligation to respond to the call.

but……

Enough is enough.

Ji Fuyou felt that he had done enough.

He knew better than anyone else how terrifying the Blood Skull was.

In his dream, he was killed by this monster more than dozens of times.

Unless a near-master-level martial artist with a physique of 25 or higher, who has cultivated internal energy and can withstand the fear aura leads the team, even if they win, at most one or two of these eleven people will survive.

and so……

Just as Ji Fuyou was about to say something, a "wind" blew in from the depths of the mist.

As the breeze blew, the already thick fog seemed to be blown over and enveloped the entire South City Police Department.

"Kakaka!"

At the same time, a very dense commotion came from the depths of the fog.

It sounds like...

An extremely large number of individuals are closing in this direction!

"call out!"

Of the eleven, two quickly left the group to scout in the fog.

Ji Fuyou suddenly realized something and looked at Xiao Hanxue, Yang Kaitai and the others: "You... fought your way here?"

"Yes, we'll try our best to eliminate as many alien beasts and monsters as possible. Every monster less might mean one more family can survive..."

As Yang Kaitai spoke, he quickly realized something: "You mean..."

"The fact that the Mist is conscious has already been accepted... We know that we should gather our elite forces to behead the leaders among these monsters, but what about the monsters? You who have fought your way here... wouldn't you be considered 'leader' level beings in the monsters' perception?"

Ji Fuyou Road.

At that moment, one of the scouts who had gone into the mist quickly returned: "We're surrounded! Lots of strange beasts and monsters! In my direction... hundreds!"

Another person quickly returned: "I have a lot too, at least eighty if not a hundred!"

"Hundreds and thousands... so many monsters must need a powerful leader to govern them..."

Liu Yiren said.

"A blood-red skull!"

Yang Kaitai looked at the swirling mist around him: "We are looking for it, and it is also looking for us... or rather, it is luring us deeper so that we can resolve this once and for all!"

Ji Fuyou already had a guess in his heart, and after listening to the conversation among the others, he was deeply shocked.

Fog of Consciousness...

It's almost been visualized!
These monsters were never driven by instinct!

they……

More like an army!
An army commanded by the mist, invading this world!
Just like the Zerg Queen and the Zerg warriors she spawns!
"Blue Moon City has tens of thousands of monsters; holding out to the Security Bureau is a dead end..."

At this moment, it was unclear whether Xiao Hanxue was being reckless or displaying courage: "Charge out! Kill the skeleton commander in charge. Even if we are surrounded by hundreds or thousands of strange beasts and monsters without unified command, we can still cut them apart and break them apart, and then find an opportunity to break out of the encirclement."

Her words received an immediate response.

"That's right, to catch the thief, catch the king. If we scatter, we'll be the ones who get picked off one by one."

Yang Kaitai quickly replied, "Form a triangle formation! You on the left, I on the right. Mr. Ji, your men will provide support from the rear!"

At this point, he did not ask Ji Fuyou for his opinion again, but directly gave instructions.

"Ji Fuyou, we..."

Fang Qiyun turned her gaze to Ji Fuyou.

Ji Fuyou gazed into the mist...

Sensing the skeletal monsters, giant scorpions, and blood bats flying in the sky filling his mental field ahead, he made his decision: "Surround and kill the blood skeletons!"

Blue Moon City has never been a place for leisure and vacation!

Unlike NPCs in the game, the monsters in Blue Moon City don't just move within a certain area; their mechanics are rigid, and you can't just wait for people to go up and kill them.

Every monster is flesh and blood, and possesses tactical intelligence.

Otherwise, how can we compress human space and turn places like Sky Ridge, Misty Forest, and Azure Lake into forbidden zones?

Danger!

even……

Life-threatening!

He was already aware of this when he stepped into Blue Moon City.

I was just lucky before, things went smoothly, but now the difficulty has been adjusted back to normal...

Hard mode.

"it is good!"

After Fang Qiyun finished speaking, he instructed the person behind him, "Yu Chen, take Du Ruofei with you." "Are there any wounded? We have some white source crystals..."

Yang Kaitai slowly stepped forward to inquire.

"Give me one, I'll transfer the fee to you after the fog clears."

Fang Qiyun immediately said.

"it is good."

Yang Kaitai quickly took out a Source Crystal and handed it to Fang Qiyun.

Each squad leader is an elite soldier.

It's hard to say about the mental stat, but no one's physical stat is below 12.

In this situation, the white physique source crystals often only have the effect of healing injuries and training new recruits.

"Here!"

At that moment, a loud shout suddenly came from the fog ahead.

A colossal creature, significantly taller than the other skeletons, emerged from the mist.

Through spiritual perception...

It was a mutated blood skeleton!

Upon sensing the presence of this commander-level monster, Xiao Hanxue immediately strode forward, saying, "Let me see just how powerful this monster really is!"

With a surge of power, she wielded her battle axe and accelerated to her maximum speed in just a few steps. Then, facing the blood-red skull that had emerged from the crowd, she leaped forward and slashed straight at the monster's head.

"careful!"

"Don't be reckless!"

The voices of Liu Yiren and Yang Kaitai rang out simultaneously from the mist.

The next moment, the enormous blood skeleton wielded its steel fork with incredible agility, whipping it like a thunderous lash against her battle axe as it slashed down from the sky.

"Oh!"

A muffled boom seemed to come from the void.

The shockwave and mist visibly dispersed, creating a ripple.

Even though Xiao Hanxue had actually condensed her own strength into a single force as she launched her attack, and it crashed down like the power of a Hunyuan Dadan, the difference in strength between the two sides, which was more than 5 points, was clearly not something that could be made up for by the advantage of Dan Jin.

Xiao Hanxue was sent flying by the blow, blasted back at almost the same speed as when she came.

The steel fork in the Blood Skull's other hand was about to thrust out, aiming to send Xiao Hanxue flying. Before she could fly far, Xiao Hanxue was pierced through, but another high-level martial artist in her team had already thrust with his spear.

The cold, sharp spearhead, like a dragon shredding the air, precisely struck the steel fork that the Blood Skull was thrust into Xiao Hanxue.

Amidst the violent tremors, the steel fork was deflected, which saved Xiao Hanxue from being thrown back.

however……

As the Blood Skull's gaze shifted and landed on the gun-wielding warrior, the empty pupils seemed to contain a soul-stealing darkness, transforming into an unprecedented fear that eroded the entire body of this high-level warrior.

Instantly, he froze on the spot, his eyes filled with uncontrollable horror.

"He's 'feared'! Get into character!"

Yang Kaitai immediately shouted in a low voice, while simultaneously unleashing a powerful mental surge: "Guan Yue! It's up to you!"

Under the mental shock, an unprecedented sense of mission filled the chest of the senior martial artist in their team.

With his teammates right behind him, he felt fearless and unstoppable at that moment!
"kill!"

In a state of heightened mental alertness, Guan Yue, a high-level martial artist, let out a long roar and charged forward, wielding a nearly two-meter-long horse-slaying saber!

The blade whistled, carrying the force of splitting a mountain, and slashed straight at the blood skull!

As Yang Kaitai spoke up to warn him, Liu Yiren's "divine magic" also landed on the gun-wielding warrior who was terrified.

This spiritual power purified his mind, dispelled all the negative states in his heart, and forcefully freed him from the rigidity of fear and shock.

only……

At this moment, the blood skeleton, towering above him, brought its spear down with overwhelming force, its speed astonishing...

There is no way to avoid it!

"Fear!? I don't believe you don't have fear!"

The frustration of being frozen in place by fear just now enraged this high-level martial artist. At this moment, he neither dodged nor avoided, but instead thrust out his spear, aiming directly at the soul flame beneath its layers of ribs!

The narrow road meets the brave to win!

This……

It's a fight where you risk your life for someone else's!

"Buzz!"

Just as the spear seemed about to pierce the Blood Skull's chest, penetrate the gap between its ribs, and accurately hit the soul flame within its body, the soul flame within the Blood Skull suddenly shone brightly, its blue light penetrating its body, forming a protective shield in front of it!

Blocked by this beam of light, the spear tip of the warrior, which had pierced through the void, was stuck in the gap between his ribs and could not advance any further!
In an instant, despair filled the man's eyes!
"Brother Yuan!"

"No!"

A shout of alarm and anger came from the direction of Xiao Hanxue's group.

Along with it came arrows that pierced through the air!
but……

Under the shroud of that eerie blue light, neither arrows nor Guan Yue's sweeping sword could shake the blood skeleton in the slightest!

"Oh!"

The steel fork crashed down with a violent force that tore through the air.

Without any suspense, this high-level martial artist's body shattered into a bloody mist on the spot, like a water balloon being punctured and burst.
