Picking Up Supreme Treasures in the Dream Realm

Chapter 66: 66. A Group of Respectable People



Inside the military camp.

Yang Fan instantly teleported without hesitation, arriving directly above the east side of the camp.

Looking down.

Several soldiers lay on the ground, wailing in agony, with blood splattered everywhere.

The most shocking sight was two severed arms lying on the ground.

And the owner of the arms had clearly become food for the Earth Worms.

The Earth Worms that launched the sneak attack seemed to sense the death of their companions and realized danger lurked here, fleeing quickly.

Yang Fan observed the remaining traces: "One, two, three, there were a total of three Earth Worms."

He sighed deeply, feeling rather upset: "A miscalculation."

If there had been a flock of Spirit Crows to control the field, or if the Great Tits had been summoned, a tragedy like this could have been avoided.

He secretly vowed: "I cannot underestimate the enemy in the future."

Not long after.

Commander Ma Lide arrived at the scene to begin directing the cleanup.

The wounded received emergency treatment, and the corpses were properly collected.

Yang Fan descended slowly from the sky in a ghostly form.

The soldiers below hastily cleared a large area to welcome the arrival of Great Xia's strongest.

Commander Ma voluntarily saluted: "Mr. Ghost, thank you so much for your assistance."

Yang Fan nodded slightly: "No need to be formal."

He spoke straightforwardly: "There's good news, and there's bad news."

Commander Ma adopted a posture of listening intently: "Please do tell."

Yang Fan quickly said: "The good news is that Earth Worms are very cautious mutant creatures.

"Once an Earth Worm is killed by us, other Earth Worms will regard the camp as a dangerous zone and will not easily approach."

Commander Ma nodded: "I understand."

The general didn't show much joy because his mission was to eliminate all mutant species invading Canglan Star.

Yang Fan continued: "The bad news is that Earth Worms will flee far away, and I'm afraid we'll need to exert more effort to eliminate them."

Commander Ma smiled wryly: "No matter how much effort it takes, as long as the Earth Worms are killed, it's worth it."

The commander spoke in a low voice: "If Earth Worms wander to other areas and harm Great Xia civilians, I'll bear an unforgivable guilt."

Yang Fan saw fatigue in the other's face, feeling a hint of respect.

These soldiers fought hard against mutant creatures with heavy casualties, never complaining, and still worried about civilian harm.

They are indeed respectable people!

Suddenly, Commander Ma asked: "Mr. Ghost, we discussed a tactic earlier. Could you please offer your insight on its feasibility?"

Yang Fan nodded: "Please speak."

Commander Ma organized his thoughts and quickly explained: "This tactic comprises three steps…"

The general spent some minutes detailing the plan.

Yang Fan was a bit surprised: "I think it's feasible! Very much worth trying!"

Previously, he thought the military's perspective on mutant creatures was rigid, yet the other party quickly adapted their thinking and proposed a highly feasible plan.

This signifies that Great Xia Military is highly adept at learning.

Commander Ma breathed a sigh of relief: "Once Mr. Spirit Crows' crows arrive, we'll officially start actions when daylight breaks tomorrow."

The general sincerely added: "Mr. Ghost, we'll still need your assistance at that time!"

Yang Fan nodded: "It's my duty!"

The soldiers have done what they must, and with his capabilities, he should do his part too.

Just then.

"Buzz!"

A slight buzzing reached his ears.

Yang Fan quickly raised his right hand.

A fine electric arc flashed at the fingertip.

"Pop! Pop!"

A few light sounds were heard.

Several Poisonous Mosquitoes were instantly charred.

Yang Fan shook his head: "There are indeed quite a number of Poisonous Mosquitoes here. You all still persist in fighting; it's not easy."

Commander Ma spoke helplessly: "The camp sprays mosquito repellent several times daily, but it seems ineffective against Poisonous Mosquitoes.

"Recently, a large number of Poisonous Mosquitoes have hatched, and there have already been more than a dozen soldiers bitten by them in the past two days, fortunately without severe consequences."

He paused and continued: "The soldier's duty is to obey orders, no matter how many mosquitoes there are, we have to persist."

Yang Fan felt even more respect.

He reminded: "Mr. Spirit Crows has trained the Spirit Crows. They not only clear Poisonous Mosquitoes but can also heal the bites."

Commander Ma was greatly astonished: "Spirit Crows can cure Poisonous Mosquito bites?"

Yang Fan used a voice changer to produce a strange laugh: "Once you consult the Spirit Crows, you'll know the outcome."

Commander Ma still looked incredulous.

After all, Spirit Crows are animals, not doctors, which really challenges understanding.

Yang Fan finally said: "I'll first help clear Poisonous Mosquitoes around the camp, and will return at daylight."

Commander Ma tried to keep him: "Ghost…"

But only said two words.

The commander saw Mr. Ghost suddenly surrounded by a layer of reddish electric arcs, accompanied by crackling sounds.

Mr. Ghost instantly transformed into a red glowing orb, circling the camp at a staggering speed.

"Crackle!"

"Crackle!"

Arcs flickered continuously.

Poisonous Mosquitoes fell downward one after another.

The ubiquitous buzzing noise vanished completely in an instant.

The red orb flashed briefly.

Mr. Ghost disappeared.

Commander Ma looked up at the sky, sighing involuntarily: "Truly like a dragon, seen and unseen."

This phrase often appears in novels.

The commander saw the prototype in real life for the first time.

Commander Ma silently raised his hand, saluting toward the location where Mr. Ghost vanished.

*

Ten kilometers away.

In a cave.

Yang Fan appeared out of thin air.

He took out a camping hammock and a few nails.

He activated Vajra Superpower, turning his fingers pale gold, pressing the nails into the stone with his fingers, and setting up the hammock.

Yang Fan looked at his unblemished fingers, nodding with satisfaction: "Superpower is really useful."

He lay comfortably on the hammock.

Thunder Branch quietly appeared, hovering silently in mid-air.

"Buzz!"

Several Poisonous Mosquitoes seemed to sense fresh blood, flying in numbers into the cave.

Thunder Branch's surface flickered.

All Poisonous Mosquitoes instantly died.

The automatic defense feature of Thunder Branch only appeared recently.

This curiosity has grown stronger.

It's increasingly like a camping tool.

Soul Stealing Wisp quietly absorbed energy from several Poisonous Mosquitoes.

Yang Fan laughed: "Never thought the real world could automatically grind monsters like this."

At this moment.

He finally had time to check the energy obtained from killing the Earth Worms earlier.

2.8 points!

Enough to equal two Huangmaos.

The accumulated Spiritual Source Value reached 6.6 points.

Yang Fan was a bit emotional: "Creatures from the Primordial World have much more energy than Superpower Users on Canglan Star."

He resolved: "Those escaped Earth Worms definitely can't be let go."

However.

There was something strange; no superpower was extracted this time.

Yang Fan pondered: "Last time with mutant Poisonous Mosquitoes, it was like this; it might be that extracting superpowers has certain limitations?"

He thought for a while, forming a hypothesis: "Could superpowers have a certain 'compatibility'?"

Earth Worms are earth-dwelling species mainly living underground, while he is a surface-dwelling human; earth-dwelling superpowers don't naturally match humans.

The same logic applies to mutant Poisonous Mosquitoes' superpowers.

Yang Fan felt regretful: "Originally, I thought I could traverse freely through soil like Earth Worms!"

What a pity.

The dream shattered.

He then took out a handgun from the Space Pearl, playing with it for a while, and laughed: "This freebie feels nice, definitely worth the trip!"
