The sequence is too involutional, luckily I am too.

Black Dog Gang's headquarters.

The talents stood frozen in place, staring at the mountain of strange beast corpses piled up before them.

Although we know Lu Yan went hunting, isn't this number a bit exaggerated?

"Distribute all this beast meat, and also tell the leader of the Red Flower Gang that if they cause any more trouble, they'll face the consequences. I'm telling you."

Lu Yan was too lazy to explain, so he gave a few perfunctory instructions and went out again.

The density of the strange beasts far exceeded his imagination, but he had just received a call from Yao Xiangyang and learned some inside information.

Rather than killing the alien beasts, Yao Xiangyang preferred to have him find the summoning center hidden around the shelter.

In order to maximize efficiency, Yao Xiangyang also arranged for secret investigators to assist him.

"So, you're the one the teacher assigned?"

Lu Yan looked at Chen Ye in front of him with a strange expression.

"How about it, Brother Yan? Are you surprised?"

Chen Ye, beaming with smugness, said, "Everyone from the Judgment Department was being watched by the City Defense Department, so I sneaked out."

As he spoke, Chen Ye handed a handheld radar to Lu Yan.

"This radar can receive signals from the summoning center within a one-kilometer range and can be operated remotely."

Chen Ye scratched his head sheepishly and said, "Last time I was planning to use this to trick you, Brother Yan, but those traitors activated it ahead of time."

Lu Yan was speechless upon hearing this. No wonder he always felt something was off; who would scheme against themselves as well?

"However, this is just a portable version; there's an even bigger one in the Muyun Technology building."

Chen Ye explained, "That one has a wider signal reception range and can control all the summoning beast centers."

"However, it cannot be more than ten kilometers away from the shelter, otherwise it won't work."

"Ten kilometers?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yan suddenly realized that this would significantly reduce the search area.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Chen Ye might bring a batch of equipment deeper into the fog, but beyond that distance, the impact on the shelter would be much smaller.

Lu Yan put away the radar and his opinion of Chen Ye changed drastically.

It was just a spur-of-the-moment decision, but I never expected that keeping this kid would actually come in so handy.

"There's something else. The minister asked me to inform you that the leader of the Red Flower Gang is also one of our own, so you should go easy on him."

Chen Ye suddenly remembered something and quickly added.

"As for the Falling Flower Gang and Flowing Water Gang on South Street, they belong to the City Defense Department and the Public Security Department. The minister told you to fight them as you please, don't worry about them."

Lu Yan was speechless upon hearing this. It turned out that the four major gangs in the town were actually just the three violent organizations in the shelter and Mu Yun's machinations.

"I understand. You should go back now and be careful."

With the search tools at hand, Lu Yan stopped lingering and began searching in all directions, guided by the radar.

The teachers handle things at the shelter; he doesn't need to worry about it, and he can't possibly worry about it anyway.

All he had to do was find out who was behind all this – Fang Xiu!

This guy is incredibly fast; Lu Yan always felt that if he was allowed to continue growing, he would become a major threat.

……

Underneath an inconspicuous shack in a market town.

Fang Xiuzheng stood guard in front of a beast summoning center, carefully checking the changes in the number of strange beasts.

"Achoo!"

Suddenly, Fang Xiu sneezed, and at the same time, a strong sense of crisis rose in his heart.

"I have a feeling something bad is about to happen."

Without the slightest hesitation, Fang Xiu abandoned what he was doing and left along the secret passage.

But just as he stepped into the secret passage, a pair of black daggers suddenly emerged from the shadows.

Fang Xiu instinctively stepped back, narrowly avoiding the sneak attack, but without even looking back, he headed straight for another exit.

But what awaited him was a silver spear that shimmered with the light of dawn!

"Damn it!"

Fang Xiu cursed under his breath, threw out several strange arrows to block the spear, and at the same time kicked the ground, revealing another tunnel.

Before he could even crawl inside, Lu Yan suddenly emerged from the shadows and swung his Wind and Thunder Slash at Fang Xiu's face.

Fang Xiu had no choice but to face the attack head-on, pulling out a long sword from somewhere and forcibly blocking the wind and thunder slash.

However, he clearly underestimated Lu Yan's strength and was directly blasted away!

Lu Yan did not let his guard down and continued his pursuit, his attacks becoming increasingly fierce.

"Fourth Master! Lu Yan! Young Master Lu! I'm willing to surrender, stop now!"

Seeing that it was impossible, Fang Xiu dodged while begging for mercy.

But in return, Lu Yan launched an even more ferocious attack.

They say a cunning rabbit has three burrows, but this guy is even harder to catch than a rabbit.

Now that we've finally caught them, we have to kill them as soon as possible!

In a short time, Lu Yan resorted to various methods.

He wielded the Wind and Thunder Slash to launch a frontal assault, while simultaneously controlling the Dawnbreaker Spear to provide support from the side.

The declaration of conviction is slapped down directly, the shadow of the verdict always ready to launch a sneak attack.

Every now and then, he would use whatever materials he could find to set up several blood-poisoning traps around the area, cutting off Fang Xiu's escape route.

However, Fang Xiu was as slippery as an eel, and through countless strange tricks, he managed to withstand it.

"Could this guy also be a Sequence 6?"

Looking at Fang Xiu's disheveled appearance, Lu Yan was full of suspicion.

If not, this ability to cope seems a bit too strong.

However, to say that it is, its combat ability seems a bit too weak.

After all, none of the Sequence 6 people he knew, whether it was his teacher Yao Xiangyang or the original Xiao Yiren, would look like this.

"Let's push them a little harder!"

Lu Yan did not show any weakness because of this; on the contrary, he intensified his attack.

"Lu Yan, don't push your luck. Do you really think you can take me by the nose?"

Seeing Lu Yan's relentless pursuit, a cold glint flashed in Fang Xiu's eyes.

His body trembled, and a huge, bizarre creature, as tall as three people, suddenly emerged from his body, forcefully blocking Lu Yan's attack.

At the same time, Fang Xiu reached out with both hands, grabbed the strange creatures around him, kneaded them into a ball, and then swallowed them whole!

Suddenly, Fang Xiu's aura surged, and even his blood and qi were greatly enhanced.

Lu Yan was on high alert. He had only seen this method of devouring strange things to strengthen himself in his previous life's comics, and he never expected to see it here.

With his strength enhanced, Fang Xiu's eyes also became more ruthless.

Then, he suddenly exerted force with his legs and rushed into another secret passage.

Lu Yan: "[・_・?]"

Was this a fit of anger, a moment of fury?

Lu Yan was speechless. He took a step forward, his body about to disappear into the shadows.

But at that moment, Fang Xiu suddenly pulled something out of his pocket and threw it at Lu Yan.

There are also hidden weapons?

Lu Yan instinctively tried to dodge, but the Giant Card fragment in the Ghost Realm suddenly trembled.

"No way..."

Lu Yan was somewhat incredulous and subconsciously summoned the card fragments.

[Sensing a shared aura, about to merge...]

The two fragments attracted and responded to each other, and the two beams of light intertwined and quickly merged perfectly together.

[Fusion successful! Obtained the Primal Card - Twilight Giant (VI) - Glory!]
