Chapter 10 Two S-Class Spiritual Bodies

A phoenix's cry resounded through the sky.

"It's the captain's spiritual entity!"

The four team members, from different directions, heard the sound and shouted in unison.

Xie Tu's spiritual form emerged against the will of his physical body, spread its wings, and soared into the sky.

Its form shifted in the air, flames danced in the wind, and countless black threads could still be seen wrapping around its wings and covering its feathers, giving it a black aura.

The violent fire phoenix suddenly changed its nature, its consciousness becoming unusually clear and accurately transmitted to its main body's mind.

It seems like I've fallen in love.

It's so beautiful! I want to pluck all its feathers and give them to it...

Xie Tu stiffened and said expressionlessly, "If you dare to run around naked, I'll turn you into a roast turkey and serve you on the table."

But it's so beautiful... Why am I not a peacock? I want to spread my tail feathers.

Xie Tu: "Shut up!"

The fire phoenix once again defied its own will and flew toward the magnificent, radiant blue luan, circling around it in a fawning manner.

His sycophantic behavior was simply unbearable to watch.

Meanwhile, Qingluan had already noticed the approaching fire phoenix and cried out in warning. Finally, her gaze toward the fire phoenix was no longer that of someone looking at trash.

Instead... look at the enemy!

The fire phoenix didn't care at all; its scarlet eyes were filled with adoration as it kept circling in the air.

The bluish-green fluorescence has rapidly spread throughout the contaminated area.

It fell on the streets, it fell on the mutants...

Countless stars dotted the gray sky, scattered in every corner.

The fluorescent lights danced in the air, and many landed on the fire phoenix closest to the blue phoenix, gradually disappearing into its body.

The black aura surrounding it dissipated slowly at a rate visible to the naked eye.

The fire phoenix comfortably raised its head and let out a soft whimper.

That sense of mental comfort and pleasure was completely transmitted to Xie Tu.

A warm and gentle power slowly flowed into his mind.

This force, like a gentle spring breeze, softly swept across his spiritual sea, as if he were floating in a boundless ocean, immersed in warm and tranquil waters.

Xie Tu slowly clenched his hands into fists.

He desperately suppressed the urge to get closer to the guide.

*

The green fluorescence gradually spread, giving the entire sky a mysterious hue.

Like the first rays of dawn, it is quietly blossoming.

Wherever they went, the riots on the streets were suppressed, and the mutants gradually changed their forms, revealing confused expressions.

The spiritual threads continued to spread wildly, devouring the dark matter.

At that very moment.

The scene before my eyes suddenly became distorted.

The cement road and the dirt road on the ground intertwine, creating waves and undulations, while the surrounding vertical buildings bend and sway like water ripples.

The entire contaminated area began to show signs of collapse!

"It worked?"

He Xiang looked at Yun Zhao with disbelief and shock.

Yun Zhao felt somewhat powerless. She slowly withdrew her hand and said calmly, "It wasn't me. Someone must have found the gatekeeper."

She just wanted to experiment.

If contaminated areas were so easy to eliminate, humanity wouldn't be repeatedly driven to the brink of destruction.

Spiritual threads can capture emotions.

Strangely, Yun Zhao did not capture the Fire Phoenix's master.

The spiritual entity cannot stray too far from the physical body; the S-rank sentinel must be nearby.

Why did he avoid her spiritual threads?

...

Just one street away.

Xie Tu held the yellowed business license in his hand.

The thin piece of paper looked inconspicuous, but it said "XX Catering Company" on it, and the name of the legal representative was blurry.

With a slight movement of his fingertips, flames gradually rose and spread from a corner of the paper.

Strangely, the burning speed was extremely slow.

It seems to be self-aware and is struggling desperately.

As the flames gradually emerged, dark matter surged forth, and wisps of black mist suddenly shot out, seemingly trying to drag the burning sentinel into the abyss.

Xie Tu remained unmoved, holding the paper with a blank expression.

The scene before my eyes became distorted.

The mutants were suppressed by the guide's powerful mental energy, switching back and forth between human and monster...

Its terrifying half-human, half-monster appearance, with its body twisted and pulled into different shapes by the distorted scenery, made it look even more bizarre.

The violent fire phoenix was acting very strangely.

I tried to summon it twice but received no response.

Xie Tu felt inexplicably irritated and had no desire to look up at the sycophant in the air.

Four team members arrived at that moment.

Xie Tu remained expressionless, showing no sign of anything amiss. "Go and bring the car over."

"ah?"

Duan Xi was about to say that the guide was on the next street, so why didn't they go over?

But then I thought, even after the contaminated area collapsed, the mutants would still exist, and there would probably be another fierce battle later. Anyway, no one could escape.

Tao Haohao and Duan Xi agreed and ran back to their car.

Night quietly fell.

Suddenly, all the street signs lit up.

The sound of roller shutters being pulled open echoed around, disrupting the balance of the entire street.

The streets became noisy.

The neon lights of the various shops were dazzling; if it weren't for the distorted and deformed buildings, one might almost mistake it for a bustling night market.

Yun Zhao stood under the eaves, behind him was an unnamed barbecue restaurant.

With a whoosh.

A young waiter wearing a brown apron came out, pulled open the roller shutter, and casually set up tables and chairs under the eaves, placing an old-fashioned LED sign at the entrance.

He was clean, with a slightly yellowish complexion and a thin build; he looked like a normal human being.

However, its body also became distorted, bending into an unbelievable angle.

"Would you like to dine in, sir?"

The young waiter noticed the two people, and with a smile, he went up to them to solicit customers, seemingly completely unaware of anything amiss.

He Xiang became wary. "No, we have other things to do."

Yun Zhao silently took a few steps back until he stepped down the stairs and left the barbecue restaurant area.

The young man didn't move, but kept smiling and watching them.

Its body was twisted, its face became uneven, and its smile looked indescribably eerie.

He Xiang shuddered and followed closely behind Yun Zhao as they left.

People come and go on the street, moving back and forth in stiff postures, each immersed in their own world, uttering various words and mechanically repeating simple actions.

Yun Zhao pulled He Xiang along the sidewalk, trying to avoid bumping into people on the road.

She noticed that the convenience store next to the barbecue restaurant was also open, and a girl was sitting at the counter playing a game with her head down.

The scene became even more distorted.

The entire shop was stretched and deformed, and people looked as if they were being stretched, becoming abnormally tall or short.

Worried about the people in the car, Yun Zhao pulled He Xiang along and ran back the way they came.

The distance between the two streets is neither far nor near.

Then we turned onto another street.

The exact same scene, the same nameless barbecue restaurant.

The same young waiter in the brown apron stood outside, smiling and greeting them: "Guests, would you like to dine in?"

Its face was even more distorted, almost making its features unrecognizable, and its open mouth was uttering human words.

He Xiang felt a chill run down his spine.

We parted just a minute ago, and now we meet again.

Every street is the same, so how many of these young waiters are simply copied and pasted?

"No, thank you," He Xiang replied cautiously, afraid of angering him.

Yun Zhao ignored him completely and ran towards the convoy.

She was very close; in the middle of the street, seven cars were parked there just as she had left.

They saw that the two had returned safely.

Cheng Dongshu breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could say anything...

'Snap'—

An unusual noise occurred.

It felt as if something had shattered, and the whole world was collapsing at an alarming rate...

Yun Zhao didn't even look up, quickly got into the car, and said, "Let's get out of here first."
