Picking Up Supreme Treasures in the Dream Realm

The excitement on the faces of the two Jin Kongque pilots only lasted a few seconds before completely freezing.

They clearly saw a blurred figure flicker and then mysteriously disappeared.

Sayed instinctively glanced at the radar, looking incredulous: "How did the target disappear?!"

Initially, he thought the figure was using some optical stealth method, but it shouldn't affect the fire control radar.

But now that even the radar lost track of the target, he realized the seriousness of the issue.

Jabari also came to his senses and hurriedly shouted: "This guy is strong, retreat! Get out of here quickly!"

Unfortunately, it was too late.

"Bang!"

Jabari suddenly heard a light crack from the cockpit glass.

He immediately felt a sharp pain in his head, and then lost consciousness completely.

A transparent ice spike was prominently lodged in the right side of Jabari's head, with most of it embedded inside.

The fighter jet he was piloting lost control, nosediving downwards.

Sayed quickly noticed his comrade's fighter out of control and shouted loudly: "Jabari, pull up! Pull up quickly!"

But Jabari did not respond.

Sayed's heart sank deeply.

He realized, even with his toes, that this Great Xia Superpower User was extraordinarily powerful, using some supernatural means to take down Jabari.

Without hesitation, Sayed pulled up his plane and began a rapid escape.

He cursed his superior madly in his heart, deeply regretting being influenced and rashly initiating an attack on the Great Xia People.

"Boom!"

A loud explosion.

It was his comrade's fighter crashing.

A huge fireball rose from the mountain forest.

In his busy escape, Sayed glanced back, his eyelids twitching several times.

Two seconds later.

"Woo~ woo~"

The alarm sounded.

The power of the aircraft started to drop rapidly.

Sayed's heart felt icy cold.

It's over!

Just then.

A vague figure, ghost-like, appeared out of nowhere outside the glass cockpit, squatting directly on the nose of the plane.

It was Yang Fan.

Sayed was severely startled, both hands trembling.

A hoarse voice, filled with confusion, echoed in his mind: "I really can't understand, why did you attack me?"

Sayed started to explain in a panic: "I... I..."

Overwhelmed with fear, compounded by the pressure of death, he couldn't utter a coherent sentence.

But Yang Fan already understood the answer.

The Deceitful Artifact read this guy's memory, letting him know it was a higher-ranking officer's order.

He also learned the officer's name—Morat.

The Wood Carving then pleaded again: "Supreme Master, please allow me to punish this fool who offended the master."

Yang Fan nodded: "Three strikes!"

The Wood Carving, with a sense of "too many lice to worry about debt," replied: "Alright, Master!"

One second later.

Sayed's two legs were gone.

"Ah~"

He howled madly.

Two seconds later.

His two arms were also gone, and the screams grew louder.

The wounds continuously spurted blood, yet the cockpit remained spotless, looking rather eerie.

The aircraft completely lost control, starting to dive downwards.

Sayed's body became blurred, and then disappeared without a trace.

The guy was completely devoured, not leaving even a strand of hair.

The Wood Carving was quite particular, leaving behind the complete flight suit and helmet.

Yang Fan detached from the aircraft, standing in mid-air, watching as the fighter crashed into the ground with a "boom."

He felt a bit relieved: "Good thing I acquired the Precise Superpower; otherwise, I really wouldn't have been able to handle these two fighter jets."

Having learned the reason for the attack, he still couldn't understand the opponent's actions.

As for "Morat," who issued the command, he deeply bore the name in his mind.

Just you wait!

Yang Fan remembered something else: "Perhaps I should notify the military; Great Xia can use this incident to pressure the Jin Kongque People."

He found a place, took out a satellite phone from the Space Pearl, and quickly explained the situation.

The other side was almost dumbfounded: "You... you shot down two fighter jets?"

Yang Fan nodded: "Yes."

He added: "I really don't understand why the Jin Kongque People attacked me, but since they dared to make a move, they must pay the price."

A few seconds later.

A different voice came through the phone: "Mr. Ghost, if convenient, please maintain contact, and we will send personnel over as soon as possible."

Yang Fan nodded lightly: "I will stay nearby, waiting for your arrival."

*

Five minutes later.

A group of White-tailed Nuthatches searched the nearby mountains and found some clues.

Yang Fan landed in the mountain forest, observing the three marks on the surface of a stone.

At first glance, they seemed like scratches made by something sharp.

These were obviously claw marks left by a mutated creature.

Yang Fan understood what species this was: "Leopard cat?"

This was the information provided by the White-tailed Nuthatch.

In the vast forest of Shapudian, leopard cats are a relatively common feline species.

Yang Fan then turned to look beside him.

A completely green snake was coiled around a branch; this was a Bamboo Leaf Green.

There was also a Falcon, a bird known for its speed.

Both were unexpected findings by the White-tailed Nuthatch.

Most of Shapudian's land is located in the tropics, coupled with dense forests, leading to more wildlife than Great Xia.

Yang Fan gazed at the Bamboo Leaf Green, speaking softly: "Perhaps I can change my method of revenge."

He has always had a strong sense of revenge and never lets grudges go overnight.

Originally, he planned to use the deceitful artifact to devour Morat alive, but now he had a better idea.

He grasped the Soul Stealing Wisp, and with a single thought, added 0.2 points to Bamboo Leaf Green's Spiritual Source Value.

Bamboo Leaf Green instantly underwent a transformation.

Initially, it already seemed quite ornamental, but now it looked like the finest jade.

Yang Fan glanced at Bamboo Leaf Green a few times, nodded in satisfaction: "Not bad! Let's call you Xiaoqing."

With the mysterious sensing power granted by the Primordial Life Decree, he immediately sensed that the snake's venom sac had changed.

Yang Fan sensed it carefully for a few seconds, unable to hold back his laughter: "Isn't this toxin too detrimental?"

But the toxin was just detrimental.

It wasn't too powerful yet.

He hesitated for a moment, then added another 0.5 points to Bamboo Leaf Green's Spiritual Source Value: "Enhance the toxin!"

Bamboo Leaf Green underwent another transformation, with the sides of its upper jaw slightly bulging.

This was exactly where the venom glands were located.

Without hesitation, Yang Fan ordered: "Xiaoqing, let Morat have a good taste of your toxin."

"Hiss!"

Bamboo Leaf Green flicked its tongue.

Yang Fan thought for a moment, then added: "If you get the chance, kill a few Jin Kongque Superpower Users too, to collect some 'interest,' understand?"

By "collecting interest," he naturally meant extracting superpowers and Spiritual Source Value.

"Hiss!"

Bamboo Leaf Green nodded humanely.

Yang Fan assigned the falcon: "Take Xiaoqing over there!"

A bird and a snake soared into the sky.

Xiaoqing was granted Light Spirit Power, making its body as light as a feather, allowing the falcon to carry it effortlessly.

Yang Fan looked at the other White-tailed Nuthatches and ordered: "Keep searching, dig out the leopard cat for me!"

The flock of birds immediately dispersed and flew away.

*

Ten minutes later.

All that could be heard was the sound of "meow".

A leopard cat with gray and yellow stripes frantically escaped from a cave.

Its size was more than twice that of a normal leopard cat, with sleek fur and surprisingly agile movements, able to leap six or seven meters in a flash.

This was the mutated leopard cat.

Although this beast was quite ferocious, it appeared rather bedraggled at this moment.

There was a bloody hole at its rear, bleeding continuously.

This was a wound pecked by a White-tailed Nuthatch's beak.

Ordinary birds couldn't do this.

But a bird capable of using Vajra Power was enough to cause the mutated leopard cat unbearable pain.

Thus, it didn't even dare to keep its lair and fled desperately.

Yang Fan looked at the leopard cat and came up with a sinister idea: "Why not drive the mutated leopard cat near the Jin Kongque People's base and let this beast deal with them?"

He happily made the decision: "Let's do it!"

The flock of birds received the command and immediately took action.

"Chirp!"

The mutated leopard cat would involuntarily shudder upon hearing a chirp, then avoid the area where the sound came from.

That peck left a massive psychological shadow on it.

By using this very simple method, the flock of birds could easily control the movement direction of the mutated leopard cat.

Yang Fan then rode a White-tailed Nuthatch and flew into the sky.

He had a very important task to do—determine the accurate location of the Spatial Rift.

Now he thought, his previous view might have been incorrect.

The imminent appearance in Gonglute Province might not be a single rift but rather a group of rifts composed of multiple rifts.

Yang Fan sighed lightly: "If that's the case, the trouble might be greater than anticipated."

*

Half an hour later.

Sixty kilometers to the west.

This place was no longer within the scope of Gonglute Province but was rather the adjacent Yakeyaba Province.

The "aid" forces sent by the Jin Kongque People forcibly occupied a small rudimentary airfield, using it as a base.

The two fighter jets that previously attacked Yang Fan had taken off from this airfield.

At this moment.

Colonel Morat of the Jin Kongque Military was undergoing an inquiry.

After all, two fighter jets suddenly disappearing wasn't a trivial matter.

As the most direct commander, he had to provide an explanation.

He had ordered the fighter jets to fire missiles at the target, which many soldiers on the ground witnessed, making it impossible to cover up this matter.

A short and fat investigating officer sternly said: "Colonel Morat, this is a vile act of war provocation, your audacity is too great."

Morat was sweating profusely.

He originally ordered the attack on the Great Xia Superpower User, believing victory was highly probable, so he decided to take the gamble.

If he won the gamble, the higher-ups certainly wouldn't blame him, and he would even receive awards and promotion.

Unfortunately, he lost the gamble now.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Morat pretended to be calm and said: "Gentlemen, I have an idea that can solve this trouble."

He understood keenly that his only chance was to shift the blame onto Great Xia.

The short and fat investigating officer raised his brow, attempting to speak.

Morat hurriedly said: "There were no other witnesses at the scene, Great Xia People cannot produce compelling evidence.

"We can countercharge the Great Xia People, claiming their superpower users suddenly attacked us and shot down the two fighter jets."

His emotions were quite agitated, even waving his arms to bolster his momentum.

"It was a despicable, underhanded sneak attack, and it also represents an act of bush-league warfare.

"The Great Xia People must pay the price for their disgraceful actions, and I strongly urge..."

The short and fat investigating officer couldn't bear to listen any longer, interrupting him: "Enough!"

Morat promptly shut his mouth.

The short and fat investigating officer exchanged a glance with another investigating officer, both feeling this method plausible.

If handled deftly, they might counter the accusation, avoiding trouble from the Great Xia People.

The short and fat investigating officer arrogantly raised his head: "Major Morat, given your serious mistake, I hereby announce that you are now suspended."

Morat breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew he narrowly escaped a disaster.

If the higher-ups adopted this plan, they certainly wouldn't impose too severe a punishment on him, otherwise wouldn't it be slapping their own face?

Morat let out a despondent sigh immediately.

Yet he understood even more clearly, his career was utterly finished, and the best outcome would be to immediately retire.
