Zhao Hao glanced at Liu Shuai's 300-pound weight and found it really hard to call him "handsome."
But the next second, Liu Shuai said, "By the way, since we're on a mission together, let's introduce our abilities. I'll go first, I have spatial abilities."
The moment the words "space system" were uttered, Zhao Hao gasped in surprise.
There's no way around it; anyone with a modicum of common sense knows that spatial abilities are very powerful.
"Handsome guy! You're really a space-type?" Zhao Hao exclaimed in surprise.
Liu Shuai smiled smugly: "It's the real deal, a space-type spirit master, whose ability is teleportation."
These words drew another wave of envy from Zhao Hao.
"Teleportation! That's incredible! I thought my abilities were strong enough, but I didn't expect yours to be even stronger, handsome!"
"What are your abilities?" Liu Shuai asked curiously.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Hao looked at Shen Lingxue, who was driving in front, with a shy expression, and seemed a little embarrassed to say it.
Shen Lingxue saw this scene through the rearview mirror and immediately snorted coldly: "Since you have awakened such an ability, don't be embarrassed to say it."
Since I'm the team leader this time, I'll give you a brief introduction so you can get to know each other.
Fang Xiu's ability is perception, Zhao Hao's is his surname, the fat man already mentioned it, and as for me, my ability is fire.
When Shen Lingxue uttered the words "surname ability," Zhao Hao immediately blushed deeply.
Liu Shuai, standing to the side, stared at Zhao Hao as if he had seen a ghost, utterly astonished.
"Bro, you...you're awesome!"
After saying that, he couldn't help but laugh: "You're a real genius, aren't you? Ability? What were you thinking? How are you going to deal with monsters with this ability? Are you going to sleep with them or something?"
The mention of the words "Japanese devils" made Zhao Hao's face turn even redder.
At that moment, Shen Lingxue poured a bucket of cold water on him.
"Fatty, stop laughing, you're disturbing my music. And how dare you mock other people's abilities? Your teleportation ability only allows you to teleport ten centimeters per hour, what's so great about that?"
Liu Shuai's laughter stopped abruptly, his face filled with exasperation, yet he dared not speak out.
Just then, another laugh rang out.
"Hahaha... Teleporting ten centimeters? That distance isn't even half my length."
The speaker was Zhao Hao.
Liu Shuai became increasingly furious. He couldn't afford to offend Shen Lingxue, but could he afford to offend a newcomer?
"Ten centimeters was before! I've improved since then, I can now teleport twenty centimeters in half an hour!"
"Hahaha... Twenty centimeters? My teleportation distance is longer than yours when I activate my ability!"
"You're talking nonsense, I don't believe you!"
"Enough!" Shen Lingxue shouted angrily, stunning the two of them.
"From this moment on, if either of you dares to say another word, I'll throw you both down here and run to Blackwater Village myself!"
The two of them instantly fell silent, no longer daring to laugh.
During their time at the Investigation Bureau, they had already come to know Shen Lingxue's strength and temperament.
Leaving aside her temper, just looking at her strength, Shen Lingxue is a first-level senior spirit master with over 10% of her spirituality already activated. With this kind of strength, she can easily crush novice spirit masters.
In addition, her ability is an offensive fire-based ability, so she is not weak among first-tier players.
As Shen Lingxue lashed out, the car fell silent, with only the singing continuing softly.
Fang Xiu, on the other hand, kept his eyes closed and remained silent throughout the entire process.
However, a slight doubt lingered in his heart.
For a Class C bizarre incident, are you only sending one first-tier senior spirit master and three newcomers?
Zhao Hao and Liu Shuai were essentially powerless, and in fact, according to the Investigation Bureau, he himself was also considered to be powerless.
So, isn't this just like a seasoned spirit master carrying three burdens?
Is this really the setup for a C-level mission? Why does it give off the vibe of a pro player leading a team through a dungeon?
Or is the Bureau of Investigation already so short-staffed?
Fang Xiu had no idea about all of this; perhaps everything would become clear once he arrived at Blackwater Village.
Several hours later.
The off-road vehicle traversed the mountains and finally arrived at Heishui Village.
The village is surrounded by mountains, with steep terrain. A long river flows through the village; this river is the Blackwater River. Perhaps due to geological reasons, the river is deep and dark, and the lack of light makes it appear black from a distance.
At this time, the sky was dark, and the dim sunlight enveloped the entire Blackwater Village, making the Blackwater River appear even more deep and mysterious. From a distance, it vaguely resembled a large black python coiled on the mountain.
Upon reaching the vicinity of Blackwater Village, Shen Lingxue did not choose to continue driving but instead proceeded on foot, as the mountain road became increasingly steep and the car could no longer pass.
The group packed their luggage and carried their cameras before setting off.
As for why she brought a camera, it was because it was a disguise created by Shen Lingxue. Before coming, she had used the power of the Investigation Bureau to present herself and her group as TV reporters and contacted the village chief of Blackwater Village to do a news report.
After walking for about an hour, the group finally entered the territory of Blackwater Village, by which time it was completely dark.
Shen Lingxue called the village chief of Heishui Village.
Before long, a young man helped an old man walk slowly over, carrying lanterns that emitted a dim light.
The light swayed with their footsteps, casting shadows on their faces, adding a touch of eeriness to the dark mountain village.
"Is this Miss Shen from the TV station?" the old man asked tremblingly.
Shen Lingxue seemed unafraid of the dark, and stepped forward, saying, "Indeed, you must be Village Chief Wang."
At this moment, the old man had already entered, and the light of the lantern enveloped the group, allowing everyone to finally see the two men's appearances clearly.
The old village chief had dark skin, a hunched back, and his face was etched with the lines of time. His eyes were somewhat cloudy, clearly indicating his advanced age. However, despite his age, he had no gray hair; instead, his hair was black and shiny, as if it had been oiled.
The young man who was helping him bore a resemblance to the old village chief in his features; they had similar dark skin and shiny hair, but no wrinkles on their faces, only somewhat rough skin.
He wore a simple and reserved smile, and became even more flustered after seeing Shen Lingxue's appearance. If it weren't for the darkness and his dark skin, he probably would have blushed long ago.
Shen Lingxue's appearance was a complete shock to Blackwater Village. With her delicate features and fair skin like a freshly peeled egg, she stood out from the village chief and the other man, as if they were from completely different worlds.
It's like a glamorous star coming to a dilapidated and impoverished mountain village to help alleviate poverty.
"I am Wang Yougui, and this is my grandson, Wang Fugui. Fugui, greet him!" Village Chief Wang said with a hearty laugh.
The young man, known as Wang Fugui, was called out by name. A little embarrassed, he scratched his head and said, "Miss Chen... hello."
