Chapter 159: 142. Retrieving objects from a distance, objects descending from beyond the skies_2
Downstairs.
Yang Fan smiled: "Children should play with their phones less."
A strange thought popped into his mind: "This ability to retrieve items remotely seems quite suitable for treating internet addiction."
Zhao Xiaolong is a typical example.
The unlucky child was scared enough to develop a certain psychological shadow about phones.
As for retrieving items remotely.
It is precisely a small trick derived from the third Star Mark.
It's also a very practical little trick.
Yang Fan looked down at his right hand and chuckled: "If I were to become a cheat code, there'd be no safe in the world I couldn't steal."
Even the thick bank vault, can it withstand remote item retrieval?
*
Two o'clock in the morning.
Thousands of kilometers away.
Shapudian.
Inside a military outpost.
Lu Yishan wearing goggles, mouth and nose covered by a mask, stared at the raging sandstorm, utterly astonished.
Back then, this Superpower User encountered a mutated Evil Spirit, luckily receiving guidance from Mr. Ghost, earning him the nickname "Thirteenth Disciple of Mr. Ghost."
Shapudian is a country with a very high vegetation coverage, with forests occupying more than sixty percent of the land, not even a single desert exists.
Lu Yishan truly didn't expect a sandstorm would happen here.
This is simply unbelievable!
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
The sound of sand hitting the ground, resembling heavy rain.
Lu Yishan glanced down at the ground, couldn't help but curse: "This is freaking unbelievable!"
Just a few hours ago.
Near every spatial rift, something like this "rainfall" started.
At this moment, the ground had accumulated a layer of black sand, about the thickness of a palm and a half, showing how fierce the sandstorm was.
His partner, Pang Long, was similarly stunned: "I really feel like the end of the world is coming."
A bunch of soldiers at the outpost nodded in agreement.
To be honest.
Facing such terrifying weather, who wouldn't feel afraid inside?
But they are soldiers, no matter how scared they are, they must hold their ground.
It's their responsibility!
Lu Yishan suddenly sighed worriedly: "With such bad weather, helicopters and drones can't enter the sandstorm area.
"If the outpost is attacked by Primordial Monsters, I'm afraid we'll struggle to get rapid support."
Pang Long also looked serious: "Yeah."
At that moment.
Lu Yishan suddenly sensed something, quickly flinging out a small fireball.
At the same time.
A palm-sized shadow rushed over from the front.
The small fireball hit the shadow accurately.
"Puff!"
The fireball exploded.
The shadow caught fire, falling to the ground.
It squeaked a few times, twisted around, and ceased to live.
Pang Long belatedly reacted, startled: "What the heck is that thing?"
Lu Yishan shook his head: "No idea."
Two soldiers went over with tactical flashlights, revealing shocked expressions.
Pang Long glanced over, similarly shocked: "What the heck is this thing?"
It was an oddly shaped creature.
Its shape resembled a spider, yet it had a dozen legs, its body encased in a shell, with a scorpion tail behind it.
From any angle, it didn't look like a creature from Canglan Star.
Lu Yishan frowned: "This should be a small creature from the Primordial World."
He looked towards the Horror Desert outside the outpost: "I estimate a lot of such little monsters have come this time."
Lu Yishan thought for a bit and commanded: "Close the doors and windows, find a way to seal small gaps, then turn off the lights.
"Canglan Star insects have phototaxis, I'm worried the light will attract the little monsters."
This was a very correct command.
The soldiers immediately started busying themselves.
A minute later.
There was a sudden noise outside the window.
No sand fell around the outpost, yet the sand was still dense in the distance.
Lu Yishan froze for a second, instantly feeling an eerie sensation.
Even with simple reasoning, this is definitely a powerful monster capable of controlling sand.
Lu Yishan's heart sank, urgently shouting: "A terrifying thing is coming, Pang Long, take everyone and retreat."
As he spoke, he was already prepared to die in battle.
At that moment.
Lu Yishan's peripheral vision glimpsed a shadow appearing ahead.
He decisively unleashed his superpower to the utmost, making a blazing red short spear appear in his right hand, throwing it rapidly.
This was Lu Yishan's strongest attack.
He even gave it a fancy name—Fire Melt Spear.
The short spear flashed, disappearing instantly.
The glass window before him instantly had a small hole appear.
Lu Yishan initially thought the Fire Melt Spear would at least hold off the monster momentarily, buying others time.
But that's not what happened.
The Fire Melt Spear vanished inexplicably before the shadow, as if it had never existed.
Lu Yishan's heart sank completely.
It's over!
This monster seems extraordinarily strong, probably no one can escape.
However, Lu Yishan didn't intend to give up, wanting to struggle futilely.
Just as he prepared to throw another Fire Melt Spear, a gentle voice with a hint of amusement sounded in his mind.
"No need to welcome me in such a manner!"
Lu Yishan blurted out: "Mr. Ghost!"
As soon as the words were said.
A figure emitting ripples appeared out of thin air inside the outpost.
It was none other than Mr. Ghost.
Lu Yishan immediately saluted: "Hello, chief!"
Others also came to realization, joining in saluting: "Hello, chief!"
Lu Yishan suddenly noticed Mr. Ghost's right hand seemed to be holding a few things.
