All-out: Starting with the Awakening Special Operations Unit, search, attack, and withdrawal.

"No, Lord City Lord, but we found his team information... Donald withdrew from the Falcon Squad a few days ago after all members were killed, and then joined this new squad."

The officer at the secret camp hurriedly handed Jiang Xingdong a newly discovered report.

When the latter saw the name "Thunder Hakimi Squad" with its bronze-level rank of one star, and the inexplicable "six sets of fierce attack cat heads" comparison, he couldn't help but be stunned.

His brow furrowed even deeper when he saw the only information available in the group.

"A pioneer from an outside base city? No registered name, only a code name... Yanzu. What does that mean?"

In the team's registration information, even the team leader Yanzu did not register his own strength level.

Drop drop drop  …

The energy monitor beeped again, and under everyone's watchful eyes, the energy value, which had been 796 just moments before, dropped once more to 789.

This means that Donald and Yanzu, who are currently in the secret realm, are not only alive, but also not dead.

And they also found a high-value container, or rather... killed the boss.

Lei Xiao, whose face was usually stern, smiled for the first time as he looked at the photo of "Yanzu" on the panel.

"Heh, it seems Huangshan Base City is indeed full of talented people..."

......

Jiang Long was nervously bound.

The black cloth bag covering his head, clearly a collectible, not only prevented him from seeing anything outside, but also blocked his source energy perception.

He felt as if he had been led away for a very, very long time.

They also rode a teleportation device during the trip.

When the black hood was removed, he was surprised to find himself in an elegant yet eerie huge villa.

The moment my hearing was restored, it was immediately filled with a melodious and grand symphony of unknown name.

And the ones playing the instruments were none other than black ravens...

The absurdity of it all made Jiang Long instinctively swallow hard.

Amidst the Western-style decor, high-end carpets, and exquisite displays, Jiang Long looked up and was immediately struck by the figure that had once brought him utter despair in the secret realm.

Jiang Long's body began to tremble uncontrollably, and cold sweat poured down his face.

The man merely sat on that high seat, tilting his head and casually surveying the scene, which caused Jiang Long's body to instinctively enter a state of extreme fear and convulsions.

aside.

Sha Lie, the president of the Huangshan Base City Shazhou Chamber of Commerce, had his hood removed at that moment.

However, upon seeing Mo Ling in person, he was so excited that his face instantly turned red.

Kneeling on the ground.

"President, thank you for agreeing to meet me. I, Sha Lie, the president of the Shazhou Chamber of Commerce, am willing to offer my utmost loyalty to the great Night Raven Society!"

The butler carried a box and walked to Mo Ling's side.

"Master, these are the things he brought..."

I glanced at it briefly; it was the head inside the box with its eyes closed.

Upon seeing this, Sha Lie hurriedly and excitedly said, "President, this kid's name is Chu Hong. He's one of the three students from Huangshan Base City Yuan Neng Middle School who applied to the Dragon Roar Sacred Academy this year. He's the one who discovered the hidden treasure chest in the secret realm [Thunderhorn Lizardman Tribe], as well as a safe route to earn Yuan Neng points. He's ruined your important plans, President!"

He tugged at Jiang Long, who had been unable to utter a single word since entering, due to fear.

"It was Captain Jiang who took care of that kid. Daring to block the club president's path, that kid died too easily..."

Mo Ling glanced at it indifferently, then waved her hand, instructing the butler to remove the items.

His eyes turned to Jiang Long, whose face was deathly pale.

Although the other party was in a very bad state at the moment, there were still many people who were afraid of him. This newcomer was indeed worth cultivating. At the very least, he should be stronger than the rookie teams sent up this year!

They were completely wiped out by a kid who hadn't even enrolled in the Energy University.

In this elegant gathering hall, ravens are passionately playing Wagner's "Tannhäuser Overture".

"Jiang Long?"

A soft murmur sent a shiver down Jiang Long's spine.

"I, I'm here..."

Mo Ling smiled, a smile that, coupled with the raven perched on her shoulder, appeared eerie and mysterious: "You went to such lengths to find me, and even knelt before me... Don't you feel sorry for your teammates who died at my hands?"

Jiang Long, who was kneeling on the ground with his hands on his thighs, immediately clenched his fists.

The image of his teammates, with whom he had spent every day, dying tragically flashed through his mind, making his already pale face even paler. However, when the last image in his mind froze on the scene of Mo Ling easily crushing the city lord Jiang Xingdong like an infant.

Jiang Long's eyes were bloodshot.

With a loud "bang!", he slammed Mo Ling's head directly onto the ground.

"Master, my master... I want power!"

Mo Ling smiled, looking at Jiang Long kneeling humbly on the ground.

"Very good. A smart person should know best what they want and what price they should pay..." He paused, his tone becoming somewhat sinister.

"I will not assign you any subordinates, but you are allowed to recruit your own team members, as long as they can pass the Night Raven Society's test of loyalty."

"I think Chairman Sha knows better than I do exactly where to look for people."

Sha Lie repeatedly said he dared not accept it, but Mo Ling's praise made him smile broadly.

After the butler led Jiang Long away, Sha Lie nervously brought up another matter.

"President, before we arrived here today, the Thousand Insect Village base city dispatched a support team that arrived at Huangshan base city. It's the Gold-level Lei Kai team, led by Lei Xiao..."

Lei Kai Team... Mo Ling waved her hand.

"The Dark Knight Squad will handle this..."

At the same time, in a deep, dark underground space beneath the Night Raven Society headquarters, a strange, explosive burst of dark red energy suddenly erupted from the wall in front of the five figures.

The energy instantly transformed into a portal of light.

And almost at the same time.

【Clifftop Plague Hospital】Secret Camp.

A flash of light appeared at the portal to the secret realm, and Chu Hong and Donald, who still looked somewhat dazed, walked out of the halo together.

"Old Tang!"

Lan Yujing spotted the two immediately and excitedly went forward.

"You're out safely! Have you located the high-value container?" She couldn't help but be excited, eager to find out this information.

Not only was Donald's Falcon Squad wiped out, but her Shadow Squad under the Rose Squad was also completely destroyed, and the other squads also suffered heavy losses.

Jiang Xingdong strode forward, followed by Lei Xiao and other supporters from the Thousand Insect Village base city.

"I..." Donald's mind was still filled with the image of Chu Hong leading him through the secret realm as if it were empty, while simultaneously stalking zombies and bosses and searching through most of the high-value containers.

He stared blankly at Chu Hong beside him.

When I hesitated about whether or not to reveal this information.

Suddenly, the portal behind them emitted a menacing red light.

Jiang Xingdong's pupils suddenly contracted, and Lan Yujing immediately recalled the terrifying memories from a few days ago, her pretty face draining of color.

"It's the Black Hole Council! They've started moving again!"

P.S.: Sorry, I was kidnapped by the Duke of Zhou (a figure in Chinese mythology associated with dreams) and only just escaped back. I'm writing this all night long. Thank you all for your support! Thanks♪(･ω･)ﾉ~
