Thinking of this, Li Yu silently accelerated the rotation of the abdominal vortex, and then hurriedly adjusted the experience point target to the jar, trying to speed up the conversion of energy in her body.

Upgrade successful

【Food Storage Container LV11: Storage Container, Capacity +110】

Seeing the notification appear before her, Li Yu felt a slight reduction in her body's energy. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief; at least it was still having some effect, and perhaps this was the only way to help her body continue to grow stronger.

And he really should have upgraded the storage space a long time ago.

As the white mist that had dispersed in the air was completely absorbed by the Nightmare Beast, the sky, which had been dark and oppressive with continuous rain, gradually regained some brightness and was no longer as gloomy and suffocating as before.

Ma Hao remained rooted to the spot, looking up at something.

Although he didn't see anything, he could clearly feel that the eerie aura from before had dissipated after Li Yu made his move, and the chilling wind behind him that made his hair stand on end had also stopped abruptly.

At this moment, Ma Hao looked at Li Yu, whose unusual, black-hole-like eyes gradually returned to normal.

Ma Hao instantly understood:

'That filthy thing was eliminated by Li Yu!'

Ma Hao was utterly shocked by Li Yu's abilities; they were truly incredible.

Li Yu can not only enhance such a massive new generation of weapons, but also easily eliminate unseen dirt.

Just that arrow Li Yu just shot was as fast as lightning and incredibly powerful. With the strength of the awakened ones at their Xiling base, no one could withstand the attack of that arrow.

"He's really all-around amazing."

Ma Hao couldn't help but tug at his clothes, which were stuck to his body and soaked with cold sweat, and clicked his tongue in amazement.

He thought to himself that the higher-ups in their Thunder Bureau probably greatly underestimated Li Yu's value, otherwise they wouldn't have only given him a nominal position as a weapons advisor.

Fortunately, Thunder Bureau and Li Yu have now established a certain cooperative relationship and are on the same side.

He then truthfully reported the specific situation to his superiors. If the bureau continued to provide Li Yu with some tangible benefits and promoted him from his nominal position, perhaps they could completely bind Li Yu to the Thunder Bureau's chariot. It seemed that there was still time.

As the sense of threat dissipated, Ma Hao immediately said to Li Yu with a face full of gratitude:

"It's a good thing you didn't leave, Li Yu, otherwise we might have had a hard time dealing with this filthy thing."

Then, he extended a warm invitation: "Why don't you stay overnight, so I can express my gratitude?"

"Just a quick thing." Li Yu said calmly, his expression unchanged, and then he mounted his horse.

He clearly didn't regard the ghost from before as anything special, and only thought that Mingyuan was bragging and exaggerating.

However, Li Yu did not intend to stay there, because the starlight that had hit him earlier seemed to be acting strangely, and the heat in his body was obviously abnormal, making him feel vaguely uneasy.

Sun Chengyu stayed at the base due to some business, while Li Yu rode Xiao Hei on his own to return home.

After seeing Li Yu off from the base, Ma Hao and Sun Chengyu watched her receding figure silently, each lost in their own thoughts.

"What do you think?" Ma Hao suddenly broke the silence and asked Sun Chengyu beside him.

“Well deserved.” Sun Chengyu simply replied with these four words, but the meaning behind them was self-evident.

Clearly, they had all deeply realized the immense value that Li Yu possessed.

The weapon trial mission has come to an end. Although the process was quite different from what Thunder Bureau had expected, the outcome was still good, and the effect of the pulse cannon far exceeded everyone's expectations.

And Li Yu's questions about the enforcement team have finally been completely resolved.

Countless fine raindrops fell in a flurry.

The little black hooves trod on yellow lightning, and the black figure quickly passed through the rain.

Li Yu generously popped another crystal core into Xiao Hei's mouth, and Xiao Hei jumped around happily like a child.

Next, just in case, Li Yu picked up a few more crystal cores and held them in her hand, then began to mobilize the energy in her body in an attempt to calm the inexplicable heat.

Soon, Li Yu located the spark within his body.

The spark landed precisely next to the cyclone where the body's energy was most abundant.

This made Li Yu dare not make any rash moves, for fear that if she was not careful, the cyclone would malfunction and her superpower would disappear.

However, as the spark within her body absorbed sufficient energy, it gradually began to affect Li Yu.

As Li Yu was gazing ahead, she suddenly noticed that the distant scenery had become blurry.

"The hallucination isn't over yet!? Or is it because the speed is too fast?"

Li Yu sat up abruptly and quickly patted Xiao Hei, signaling it to slow down.

Even after slowing down, the distant view remained hazy.

Li Yu was puzzled. He looked in other directions and was surprised to find that the heavy rain in the southern sky had turned into a raging fire.

The firelight flickered and danced in the rain, appearing particularly eerie.

Li Yu rubbed her eyes hard, trying to make sure she wasn't seeing things, but the firelight seemed to disappear in a flash.

Something's not right.

Li Yu sensed something was wrong and hurriedly called for the Nightmare Beast in his mental sea.

Although he suspected that the Nightmare Beast had ulterior motives, at least they were still in the same boat.

Faced with this bizarre situation, perhaps only the Nightmare Beast knows something.

"Nightmare Beast, please help me, I think I'm hallucinating."

"Okay!"

As soon as Li Yu's voice rang out, the Nightmare Beast readily agreed, as this was a rare opportunity to improve their relationship.
