update icon Updated at 2023/7/12 19:07:45

Just as Deputy Team Leader Mo Jinghui suffered minor injuries from the attack of the defensive fireball, Qing Xue was surprised to notice that their target, the monster they were chasing, had almost completely blocked the multiple impacts of the fireballs without any damage. This made her once again raise the monster's danger level in her mind. Initially, when Groups One and Three received the order to support Group Two, she wondered why a mere C-level incident would require the entire Special Operations Bureau to get involved, and she was quite puzzled at the time. But now it seems that the failure of Group Two is not just a problem of Group Two itself, but because they do not understand the true strength of the enemy. She has no doubt that if this monster stops and directly confronts them, she cannot guarantee that Group Three will be able to capture it one hundred percent, or even inflict any injuries. "Roar!" The previous series of fireballs ignited the monster's anger. The roar echoed in the corridor wrapped in thick fog, causing everyone's eardrums to ache. Based on the information provided by the local police station, until last night, no one besides the owner had checked in here. Obviously, the person who released the fireballs is most likely the owner of this hot spring hotel. In this case, an ordinary young man in the photo actually possesses both spatial and fire special abilities. How could such a dangerous person lurk in Chunmu City for so many years without being discovered by the Special Operations Bureau? No matter how you think about it, there is something strange about it. At this moment, after a furious roar, the monster suddenly disappeared into the thick fog and launched a brutal mid-air collision towards the person who had dared to harm it. Just as the monster leapt, the surrounding mist was simultaneously swept upwards by its speed, revealing a view of about a dozen meters ahead. Although the light in the corridor was extremely dim, Qing Xue had been practicing martial arts since childhood and had excellent eyesight. Even if there was only a glimmer of light in the darkness, she could still get a rough idea of her surroundings. She saw a man in a black robe not far away, facing the monster. In the face of the monster's roar, he appeared extremely calm. Even Qing Xue could feel the immense attacking power that the monster displayed when it was angry. Even if the three team leaders joined forces to deal with it, they might not be able to match it. Can that slender man in the black robe really stop the monster? In the blink of an eye, a scene that stunned all three teams, including Qing Xue, unfolded. A fireball the size of a yoga ball suddenly appeared in front of the black-robed man, and then it seemed to be gently pushed. The monster that touched the fireball seemed to be suddenly kicked by a spring, even though its body was constantly moving away from the roasting fireball, its fur still couldn't help but ignite. In the end, the monster burned itself into a fireball and fell heavily on the ceiling of the corridor that had risen more than ten meters. In the viewers' field of vision, it seemed that two fireballs appeared at the same time, and then disappeared at the same time. In an instant, a monster with exceptionally strong power lay on the ground emitting the smell of burning, completely dead. If it hadn't accidentally entered the hot spring hotel, even if the newly appointed Deputy Team Leader of Group Two was good at tracking, the current strength of the Bureau would not have been able to completely eliminate it. So, who is that person who released the powerful fireballs in succession? Could he really be Wu Xian? At this moment, the team members were all standing still without receiving the latest orders. They all knew very well from their previous missions that acting on their own was the most taboo thing when fighting the enemy. Especially in the situation where they were not aware of the true strength of the enemy, acting rashly meant suicide. Yes, they witnessed the scene of the monster being burned to death by the fireball, and they were full of awe for the black-robed person who seemed to be in the black mist. Although they did not know his background, since he took action to kill the monster, it means that at least he and those visitors from another world who passed through the time-space cracks to the Azure Blue Star are not in the same group.All eyes were almost focused on Qing Xue, waiting for the leader's next instruction.

Although Mo Jinghui was slightly injured, he quickly stood up behind Qing Xue, determined to protect the leader regardless of the unknown person in the black robe.

The rest of the team had long been accustomed to his actions and paid no attention.

Qing Xue was in a dilemma. If they suddenly appeared from the black mist, would the person in the black robe mistake them for allies of the monsters and immediately release a fireball?

Her own death didn't matter, but she didn't want to endanger her brothers who had been through life and death with her.

Therefore, she needed to be cautious and prudent before making a decision.

Once a mistake occurred, it would be irreparable.

And at that moment, the person in the black robe unexpectedly moved.

He walked towards them as if he hadn't noticed them at all.

Qing Xue immediately made a gesture for silence, and everyone immediately held their breath, but kept their weapons firmly in hand.

Until the person showed obvious hostility, they couldn't act rashly. Once they angered him, the consequences would be unpredictable.

As the battle just ended, the black mist slowly dispersed once again.

It became the best protection for the team members as they stood still, letting the mist envelop them.

Perhaps this way, the person in the black robe might see them as insignificant and ignore their presence.

Qing Xue remained silent as well.

However, when the person in the black robe got closer and the dim light was enough for her to recognize his face, Qing Xue was suddenly shocked.

Oh my god!

No matter how she had imagined, she never expected that the master of fire abilities who had just defeated the formidable monster with bare hands turned out to be a young girl with golden hair.

Moreover, it seemed that the girl had long noticed their presence, but in her eyes, they were as insignificant as ants, not even worth a glance.

She simply walked past them with a graceful and elegant stride,

Although her attire was simple and crude, her posture still exuded the poise and arrogance of a noble.

Her golden hair reflected a faint light in the dim light, complementing her delicate and beautiful face.

And so, she slowly passed by them.

In that moment, the corridor they had been walking for almost twenty minutes suddenly shortened,

Qing Xue saw with her own eyes as the golden-haired girl swiftly pushed open the door to the small building before her, almost as if she teleported.

Before the girl left, she glanced back at their stiff figures as if saying, "We will meet again."

And then, her figure disappeared completely beyond the door.

The team members couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, overwhelmed with relief as if they had just escaped death.

Qing Xue, as the team leader, was not in a better state. Her whole body was drenched in cold sweat, and her hand gripping the sword handle seemed frozen, unable to let go for a long time.
