Assassin Seven, starting in Shennong Kingdom!

Chapter 259 Reunion with Bai Yuekui

An ecologically dense area is a large ecological zone where the mana ecosystem has spread to a vast area, making it impossible for any living person to exist within a radius of hundreds of kilometers.

Because of the vast ecological zones they cover, these places even generate biofields powerful enough to interfere with magnetic fields.

"Reporting to the lighthouse, the hunters have landed successfully."

Inside the command center atop the lighthouse, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The nighttime airdrop operation was the first time the lighthouse had undertaken such an adventure.

"Mark, switch to Channel 4, I need to talk to you about something serious."

Several veteran hunters who had followed Red Hair in the past resolutely chose to support Mark on this trip, opting to operate at night and come to the surface.

Their feelings for Mark are the same as Hongkou's; they are people who have watched Mark grow up.

Mark switched the communication channel as instructed.

Xuefeng asked, "After completing the mission, do you still plan to leave the lighthouse?"

Mark, "I promised Ran Bing that we would go no matter what..."

"Pull it down."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by another person who said, "Let alone how many days you two can last on the ground, it's questionable whether you can even leave the lighthouse."

“Now that Morgan is old, if he can’t be fully recovered even if he is saved, Charles will definitely take action. Once the real power of the Lighthouse falls into the hands of the Light and Shadow Society, you and Ran Bing will definitely not be able to leave the Lighthouse alive.”

The group consisted of veterans from the Lighthouse. Although bound by the Three Laws, they were well aware of the situation on the Lighthouse and understood Mark's current predicament. "To survive now, you can only become the city lord."

This is also why they resolutely chose to come down with Mark on this trip.

Mark, you have to get back alive!

"The guys upstairs have already made arrangements. As long as we get the medicine and save Morgan's life, we can keep Victor's city defenses in check. Then we'll be more than capable of dealing with those weak priests."

“You were originally chosen by Lord Morgan as his successor. Even if he wakes up, he won’t blame you. Just get on board first, and everything else will be fine.”

"Only in this way can you truly guarantee Ran Bing's safety."

In just a few words, the group had already considered all the possible scenarios, leaving Mark momentarily speechless.

"Think about your sister."

"Perhaps we're fifteen years too late to do this. If Hongkou were still alive, what do you think she would do?"

After a moment of silence, Mark said, "I understand."

"Okay! It's settled then."

"thank you all."

"Oh, the young boss is being polite with us now."

"Alright, let's go all out tonight!"

After finalizing Mark's plans, the group also stepped into the densely populated ecological zone.

As Mark drove, listening to the others' arrangements, his heart heavy, he was completely unaware of what was happening outside. At this moment, a large number of snake-dogs had already caught up with him, drawn by the scent of the life essence.

His gaze swept across the scene, and he threw a snake-dog that lunged at him off the vehicle. Suddenly, he noticed a bolt of lightning strike, and a figure standing on a hillside not far away, watching them!

That's... him!

Qin Ming watched the convoy leave, gradually disappearing from Mark's sight, while the snake dogs, relentlessly pursuing them, rushed forward beside him.

One of the snake-dogs glanced at him and looked at him with a human-like look of shock. It seems that the Devouring Beast does not express emotions through facial expressions, so its facial muscles are not well developed.

Qin Ming noticed it, turned his head to look, and then...

Snapped!

The snake-dog twitched twice on the ground, then became unresponsive, and a strand of life essence was extracted separately.

In a secluded corner of the ecological center, several figures waited.

"Ouch!"

"Ok?"

Xia Dou, who was controlling the Devouring Beast with an ancient instrument, suddenly screamed, covered her face, and looked aggrieved.

Shandong, who was eating nearby, saw this and said, "Hey, what's wrong? Did you bite into something in your dinner?"

"No, no, no, it could also be a stiff neck from twisting your neck. I told you not to stay up late playing games, look at you, tsk tsk tsk."

"Pah, pah, pah! You're the ones who are hurting your teeth and twisting your necks."

Seeing her two companions talking about her, Xia Dou frowned and retorted, then looked at Bai Yuekui with a wronged expression, "Boss, I think I was slapped."

Bai Yuekui, "Hmm?"

Xia Dou continued, "Well, there was this really strange person. I was clearly tracking my target, but suddenly I saw him standing in the midst of a pack of Devouring Beasts. I was so startled, thinking I'd encountered something big, that I was too scared to even breathe. Then he glanced at me and slapped me, sob sob..."

The group fell silent for a moment.

"Hiss!?" Xu Tong gasped and said, "Are you sure it's humanoid? Don't scare us. Coming to this ghostly place in the middle of the night is bad enough. We can't have something even scarier appearing."

Shan Da also looked at Bai Yuekui and said, "Boss, if this really is humanoid, then it's going to be difficult... Master Lai has been causing trouble time and time again. Last time it was in the wild, and it was during the day, so that was fine, but if we encounter those guys at night, I'm afraid..."

"Probably not."

After a moment's thought, Bai Yuekui said, "Although they can see Xia Dou's abilities, they won't easily leave the core of their territory. There's still some distance between here and there, so it's unlikely. Besides, Xia Dou said she was slapped. If it really was that kind of monster, it should have discovered us by now. The surrounding Devouring Beasts wouldn't be so calm."

The group agreed that this made sense, so they didn't say anything more and relaxed considerably.

Although they all unleashed their inner potential and gained the ability to fight against the Devouring Beasts with their flesh and blood, they could only deal with ordinary Devouring Beasts.

High-level Devouring Beasts are not so easy to deal with.

No, even a mid-level Devouring Beast would be a problem for them, except for Bai Yuekui.

As they were talking, Bai Yuekui's eyes suddenly flickered, and the others also paused, then raised their hands.

Sui Xing instinctively nocked an arrow, Xu Tong removed the device from his back, and Shan Da whispered, "Boss!"

"Don't be nervous, they're not the enemy."

Bai Yuekui remained calm, looking at Qin Ming who had somehow appeared behind Xia Dou, and said, "Long time no see."

"Huh? What...are you doing...?"

Xia Dou was stunned at first, then slowly turned her head to look behind her with a stiff expression. Only then did she see Qin Ming's figure. Her eyes rolled back, and she fainted...

Qin Ming, "..."

It's just a spatial transfer along the coordinates of the life source, look how scared you are.

Seeing this, Bai Yuekui said, "Put them all away. If he wants to make a move, we should all be dead the moment we see him."

The group then put their weapons away, and Sui Xing dragged Xia Dou aside.

"Who is this?"

"How would I know? But the boss seems to recognize her. I've never heard of her before. Could she be an old flame?"

"Shh! You might not care about your life, but I do...!!?"

Zheng!

Xu Tong and Shan Da whispered to each other in the corner, and the next moment, a steel plate from under the rubble was driven directly into the wall in front of them, penetrating half a meter!

The two were so frightened that they broke out in a cold sweat and quickly hid in a corner.
