Picking Up Supreme Treasures in the Dream Realm

At this very moment.

Yang Fan was holding the Hunting God's Spear, "gifted" by the Carmenians, and standing before another trace.

He gritted his teeth and said reluctantly, "Sense it!"

As soon as the words were spoken.

Yang Fan immediately sensed a thread of Life Elemental Power flowing out of his body.

He checked the attributes once more.

Life Elemental Power: 509

Compared to before, it had decreased by 1 point.

This is the cost paid to the Deceitful Artifact.

"Buzz!"

The Hunting God's Spear vibrated slightly.

This Deceitful Artifact, besides possessing the "Visual Hit" ability, has an additional minor function—an enigmatic sensing ability for auras.

Incidentally.

This is an ability unknown to the Carmenians.

Because for the Deceitful Artifact, performing this ability consumes quite a lot of resources, while the rewards gained are minimal, hence it hasn't informed the Carmenians.

Yang Fan easily subdued the Hunting God's Spear, and the latter dared not disobey his orders.

After a moment.

He used his Spirit Communication Ability to gain the sensing result from the Deceitful Artifact.

Yang Fan looked puzzled: "Two souls entangled together, what does this mean?"

The Deceitful Artifact remained motionless.

This is the information it managed to detect, beyond that, it doesn't know much more.

Yang Fan pondered for a long time, softly murmuring: "No wonder I'm circling endlessly, it's truly a cunning thing."

He had just tracked several times, without exception, all led to circling.

Originally, he couldn't figure it out, but now he vaguely has a guess.

Another soul interfered with his sensing, causing frequent deviations and thus making the circling situation occur.

At this point.

He can be 100% certain that this is definitely the Evil Race in the Sea of Death Black Sand.

Yang Fan looked up towards the sky, frowning even more: "The aura seems quite strong, with my current strength, I may not be the opponent."

He touched his chin, muttering: "Looks like I'll have to rely on the Great Xia Military."

*

A quarter of an hour later.

"Woo~"

Accompanied by the roaring engine.

Six massive bombers and dozens of fighter aircraft formed a squadron swiftly soaring through the sky.

Although the latter were fighter jets, they also had ground combat capabilities.

Soon.

A pilot in one bomber called out on the communication channel, "Radar has detected a target ahead, it should be Mr. Ghost."

Everyone's gaze immediately turned towards it.

Many pilots had never seen Mr. Ghost before and were immensely curious about this legendary figure of Great Xia.

"A few days ago, Mr. Ghost single-handedly challenged the Carmenia Federation's fleet near Shapudian."

"I also heard that the fleet commander was turned into a dried corpse, and over a hundred senior officers were killed."

"The Carmenians didn't dare make a sound, fleeing in panic, not daring to even tow a broken warship."

"Tsk tsk, I dream of doing such things, Mr. Ghost accomplished them all."

After several tens of seconds.

Another pilot shouted, "I see Mr. Ghost!"

Others followed suit in shouting.

"I see him too!"

"It's that little black spot up ahead!"

Shortly after.

The black spot became closer.

A figure emitting an eerie ripple came into the pilots' view.

The soldiers simultaneously widened their eyes.

Because something peculiar happened.

The blurry figure suddenly flashed, instantly splitting into pieces.

Each shadow fragment bizarrely jumped several meters away, or even tens of meters.

Like a complete puzzle scattered apart.

After a while.

The shadow fragments all vanished.

The blurry figure completely disappeared.

All the pilots were stunned.

"Radar can't see it."

"What happened?"

"How did Mr. Ghost leave?"

The squadron received orders to head to this airspace and conduct ground bombing according to Mr. Ghost's guidance.

But upon arrival, Mr. Ghost had vanished.

A pilot couldn't help but ask, "What should we do now?"

The commander thought for a moment, then replied, "Hold position, I'll contact the higher-ups!"

A few seconds later.

The orders from the higher-ups arrived, still the same: "Hold position."

Plus a morale-boosting sentence: "This is a battle concerning the fate of Great Xia, ensure the mission is completed!"

Bombers and fighter jets began circling in the sky.

After a while.

At the location where Mr. Ghost disappeared, within a range of several hundred meters, large ripples suddenly emerged.

An ethereal shadow, shaped like a long insect, emerged from the ripples.

The next moment.

The long insect turned from a phantom to a solid entity.

This was a black-and-yellow insect, reaching a terrifying length of twenty meters, with numerous spikes on its surface.

"Hiss!"

A sharp hissing sound instantly came through.

Several fighter jets were just a few kilometers away, and the pilots felt dizzy and nauseous upon hearing this sound.

A bizarre scene played out immediately.

More ripples appeared.

The gigantic insect was rolling in mid-air but couldn't fall down, instead floating as if on water.

A group of pilots were stupefied.

They were ordered to carry out ground attack missions, but no one anticipated that upon arrival, a giant insect would appear in the sky.

At that moment.

A strange voice suddenly echoed in the channel: "Attack this insect!"

It was Mr. Ghost's voice.

The Commander was the first to react, shouting repeatedly, "Attack! Missile attack!"

These fighter pilots were the finest among the Great Xia, and upon hearing the command, they immediately launched missiles.

Missile after missile, trailing long tails of flame, rapidly collided with the giant insect.

"Boom! Boom!"

Thunderous explosions occurred one after another.

The sky was stained crimson by the flames.

The pilots immediately sensed something was wrong.

"There's something around the insect, blocking the flames outside."

"Could it be something like an energy shield?"

"It's probably a shield after all!"

The Commander frowned and barked, "Keep firing!"

Since Mr. Ghost issued the order, it must be carried out thoroughly.

"Boom! Boom!"

Another wave of missile explosions ensued.

The giant insect was submerged in a sea of fire.

The surrounding shield still firmly protected the long insect, preventing the flames from harming its body.

*

Twenty kilometers away.

A shadowy figure about one and a half meters tall hid inside a cave.

From its silhouette, it resembled an insect.

It stood on four legs, raising two forearms that looked like large machetes.

Clearly.

This was a member of the mysterious race.

"Hiss!"

It hissed softly, spewing a wisp of black smoke from its mouth.

The black smoke swirled in the air, transforming into a blurry image.

It was a scene of fighter jets surrounding the giant insect.

The mysterious race "chirped," its two pairs of insect eyes showing a trace of evident shock.

The giant insect was its companion.

It initially believed this world was weak, and its companion would be hard to detect hiding there.

The mysterious race never expected that just after a short while, its companion had been discovered.

It glanced at the flames produced by the missile explosions, its insect eyes filled with dread and slight bewilderment.

The power of the flames was quite strong, something it absolutely didn't want to experience.

Yet the creatures here were generally very fragile, which left it feeling particularly puzzled.

The mysterious race clashed its knife arms several times, its insect eyes showing a bloodthirsty intent.

It had secretly decided to find a way to inform its race, loot this world's resources, and completely annihilate it.

"Chirp!"

The mysterious race issued a command through psychic communication, wanting to instruct its companion to return to the Sea of Death Black Sand.

However.

Just as the command was issued.

It immediately felt a strong sense of crisis.

Oh no!

It was a trap!

*

On the other side.

Yang Fan suddenly opened his eyes: "I've found you!"

Earlier, he used the Shuttle Boat, expending considerable effort to extract the giant insect from the space.

The aura emitted by the giant insect made him feel a strong sense of crisis.

He quickly realized that with his strength, he couldn't possibly kill the giant insect.

But that didn't matter.

The purpose of doing this was merely to use the giant insect as bait to locate the hidden position of the mysterious race.
