Picking Up Supreme Treasures in the Dream Realm

Chapter 69: 69. Flying in the sky



At this moment.

Witnessing the chaotic explosion scene firsthand.

Commander Ma let out a sigh of relief, his old face breaking into a full smile.

The commander quickly raised his communicator and asked with concern, "Mr. Ghost, are you alright?"

A peculiar voice rang out immediately: "Unscathed!"

Commander Ma listened, astonished.

No wonder the superpower users of the Jiuzhou Legion believe Mr. Ghost is Great Xia's greatest power; today they've witnessed it.

The peculiar voice continued: "I'm leaving now."

His voice had just fallen.

In the presence of numerous soldiers.

Mr. Ghost performed another astonishing feat.

He floated at nearly a hundred meters high, gliding slowly forward, his figure becoming hazy and then vanishing.

The command center immediately erupted in a commotion.

"Is that Wind controlling Flight?!"

"Mr. Ghost can fly?"

"I don't think any superpower user in the Jiuzhou Legion can fly?"

Commander Ma gave a "cough," lightly scolding, "Quiet!"

The commotion instantly subsided.

Yet that previous scene was deeply imprinted in everyone's mind.

In ancient times, physical flight was considered a miraculous act of immortals, and now truly witnessing someone fly, it inevitably had an impact.

Commander Ma shouted, "There are still two Earth Worms not dead, everyone get to work."

He immediately ordered, "Dispatch a team to the target area to search for Earth Worm corpses."

"Yes!"

In the mountains.

Yang Fan didn't know that a casual attempt had brought yet another small shock to the soldiers.

To be frank, the technique of Wind controlling Flight is very simple.

First activate the Wind Spirit Superpower, offset the planet's gravity, then control the airflow to form a forward thrust.

However.

Yang Fan only flew a few hundred meters before he gave up flying.

He gently landed on a branch, shook his head, and said, "The speed is too slow, and the superpower consumption is quite large, not worth it."

Yang Fan lightly tapped the branch, jumped himself up, soared through dozens of meters, and landed on another branch.

Repeating this method.

The speed was more than twice as fast as flying.

Yang Fan took the chance to mentally review the combat just now.

At that moment.

The instant two missiles exploded.

He decisively activated the Shuttle Boat, controlling the spatial ripple to form an invisible shield in front of him.

This was another function of the Curiosities.

Except the shield was rather weak.

The shield shattered moments later.

But the strongest wave of the explosion's impact had already been blocked.

Yang Fan then decisively activated the Vajra Superpower, forming a Golden Shield of condensed golden light, blocking the subsequent impact.

The awakened mutated macaque, after all, was just a brute, having no idea such a defensive technique existed.

He followed the guidance of the Soul Stealing Wisp, exploring this defensive trick.

This powerful feature, combining offense and defense, truly lived up to the reputation of a middle-grade superpower.

Then.

Yang Fan quickly smashed down a Thunder Shock Seal below.

The position of the two air-to-ground missiles was precisely the soil layer above the Earth Worm.

And the explosive power of the missiles not only thinned the soil layer significantly but also injured the underground monster.

The electrical arc released by the Thunder Shock Seal instantly penetrated the remaining soil layer, killing the injured Earth Worm.

This was exactly the combat strategy proposed by the military.

Facts have proved.

This was a very successful plan.

Yang Fan completed his review, secretly sighing, "The military really did wise up."

He also discovered a shortcoming: "I seem to lack suitable means to deal with land-based species, I need to acquire one or two superpowers to handle them in the future."

Yang Fan suddenly had an idea: "Why not go to some unfriendly countries and extract superpowers from foreign superpower users?"

He considered himself a law-abiding citizen and wouldn't commit unlawful acts within the Great Xia Kingdom.

But abroad, he had no reservation.

For example—Ying Sang Kingdom.

If Great Xia and Jin Kongque Kingdom only have minor disputes without deep hatred.

Then Great Xia and Ying Sang Kingdom have a considerable historic resentment.

He felt no psychological burden "borrowing" some superpowers from the Ying Sang people.

Yang Fan had made his plan: "The direct distance from Linjiang City to the Ying Sang Kingdom seems to be less than three thousand kilometers, not particularly far. I'll find some time to visit in a few days.

"Now, with global disasters happening frequently, a few superpower users unexpectedly dying in the Ying Sang Kingdom wouldn't be strange, right?"

*

Ten minutes later.

"Boom!"

Another two loud explosions.

Two mushroom clouds rose.

Mixed with them were two streaks of red light.

Yang Fan sensed the aura of the Earth Worm disappearing and timely reported: "The second Earth Worm is dead."

The military's response came immediately: "Mr. Ghost, we are very grateful for your intervention!"

Yang Fan replied: "No need for thanks!"

This Earth Worm's sense of smell was very keen.

Just as the missile was about to drop, it seemed to sense danger approaching and burrowed down.

A Thunder Shock Seal had smashed down but didn't kill it.

He swiftly followed up with another Thunder Shock Seal, and only then did he finish off the severely injured Earth Worm.

He looked downward, feeling a bit relieved: "It almost escaped."

Another half-hour passed.

Yang Fan hovered in mid-air, staring at a low mountain.

He reached out and held his earpiece, saying: "Everyone, the third Earth Worm is hiding here. I'm afraid missile attack strategies won't work."

This Earth Worm seemed to sense its companion's death, knew a fatal crisis was approaching, and had found a place to hide.

The command center specially allocated two drones to act as communication relay nodes, enabling calls even within the mountain.

The response was quite decisive: "Mr. Ghost, follow-up plans are canceled; thank you for your efforts today."

Yang Fan asked: "What does the military plan to do about this Earth Worm?"

A few seconds passed.

Commander Ma's voice came through: "Mr. Ghost, we are applying for heavy bunker busters.

Yang Fan slightly clicked his tongue.

Is the military planning to blow up this mountain altogether?

So ruthless?!

Commander Ma continued, "Three hundred kilometers away, there is an arms warehouse that just happens to store a batch of bunker busters.

"However, these things are very heavy, and we can only use bombers, expected to arrive in the afternoon."

Yang Fan understood their intent: "No problem, I'll stand guard here to monitor the Earth Worm's every move."

Commander Ma spoke appreciatively: "Mr. Ghost, we are grateful for your trouble."

Yang Fan shook his head: "I am also a Great Xia People, so naturally I won't stand by indifferently."

Commander Ma's tone was very serious: "Mr. Ghost, you dare to face challenges head-on; you are a person worthy of respect."

Yang Fan did not respond.

He had seen firsthand the severe losses suffered by the soldiers, so this matter must be addressed to the end.

This had nothing to do with responsibility.

Nor with honor.

He simply hoped that this group of fearless soldiers wouldn't keep dying.

Yang Fan sighed quietly in his heart: "They're all so young, dying here is too undeserving."

After pondering for a while, he suddenly had an idea: "It seems there might be a way to end this battle early."

He rehearsed the scenarios several times, nodding: "It's worth trying, since there's no loss even if it fails."

Yang Fan gazed ahead: "First, I must sense the Earth Worm's exact location through this small mountain."

He concentrated, and the Soul Stealing Wisp quietly appeared.

He grasped the wisp, chanting: "Enhance Spirit Concealment Superpower!"

A stream of information flashed: "Consume 12 Spiritual Source Value points to increase evolution level to 5%. Enhance it?"

Previously, he obtained 5.7 Spiritual Source Value points by hunting two Earth Worms, accumulating to 12.3 points.

The evolution level increased from 1% to 5%, equivalent to every 4 Spiritual Source Value points boosting the level by 1%.

Yang Fan decisively commanded: "Enhance!"

The panel immediately changed.

Spirit Concealment: Activated, Low grade Mixed Superpower, current evolution level at 5%.

The next moment.

Yang Fan clearly sensed the position of a group of Spirit Crows.

He even felt a bizarre illusion that "the souls of the Spirit Crows are within reach."

He also sensed a group of Great Tits, eighty kilometers away.

This was during his last visit to Jingyun County, signed with the Great Tits.

They seemed to feel the surroundings were unsafe and migrated to a more distant area.

"Chirp! Chirp!"

The Great Tits sensed their owner's presence and made joyous calls.

Yang Fan smiled with satisfaction: "If the evolution level increased to about 20%, I might connect to the Spirit Crow group in Linjiang City from Jingyun County."

He looked toward the small mountain, muttering: "Little burrowing worm, it's time to settle the score."
