Picking Up Supreme Treasures in the Dream Realm-Chapter 454 - 326, Death Smell, Devoted Body_2

Yang Fan looked a bit serious: "What exactly is this mutation? The ’Superpower Secret Scripture’ doesn’t seem to have any records of such a thing. In all the Dream Realms I’ve experienced, I’ve never encountered such a creature."

He muttered quietly to himself: "This scent is somewhat reminiscent of that thing deep in the Arctic Icefield?"

If this is really the case, then we’ve got a big problem.

One minute later.

Ling Shuiling put down the phone and said, "The police station is sending someone over right away, and the Liren Special Team will also be coming."

She paused, then added, "The dispatcher also told me that one of the Spirit Crows will be heading over as well."

This statement, "one of the Spirit Crows will be heading over," made Ling Jianshan’s face change color.

If nothing major had happened, the Spirit Crow would never go over.

Another ten minutes passed.

The business car had yet to arrive at Celestial Star Agricultural Company when Ling Shuiling’s phone rang.

"Ding!"

The female secretary glanced at the phone screen and whispered, "A call from the police station."

She answered the phone, deliberately putting it on speaker mode.

A female voice came through: "Miss Ling, I want to confirm with you, has your whole family left home?"

Ling Shuiling didn’t understand why this was being asked but still answered, "Yes! We realized something was wrong, so we immediately left home and headed to my workplace at Celestial Star Agricultural Company."

The female voice carried a hint of praise: "You’ve done very well. Celestial Star Agricultural Company is a key enterprise in the city, and it should be safe. You should be fine staying there."

She warned again: "Do not leave Celestial Star Agricultural Company until you receive our notification, understand?"

Ling Shuiling responded, "Understood!"

The female secretary cautiously asked, "Officer, I would like to know what exactly happened?"

After a second, the female voice replied, "Miss Ling, your home was violently intruded upon just now."

Ling Shuiling pressed further, "Officer, was it Yue Qiushan who broke into my home?"

The female voice confirmed, "Yes!"

Ling Shuiling immediately thought of her boss’s words, "The crazy Yue Qiushan might want to eat you," and her heart thumped heavily.

It seems that the boss’s premonition was correct; otherwise, her home wouldn’t have been broken into.

Ling’s Mother realized this as well, couldn’t help but hug her daughter and murmured, "Sticky like a plaster!"

Ling Jianshan’s face was very unsightly, mixed with a bit of embarrassment.

Earlier, he was questioning, "Could it really be possible?" The dispatcher’s words just slapped him in the face.

Ling Shuiling asked again, "What happened to Yue Qiushan?"

The female voice was rather vague, "Miss Ling, this is a bit sensitive, you’d better not know too much."

Ling Shuiling blurted out, "Did Yue Qiushan kill someone, did he eat people too?"

The female voice was quite surprised, "How did you know?"

This question fully confirmed Yang Fan’s earlier prediction.

Ling Shuiling did not answer.

The female voice sighed, "Although I haven’t seen the scene, I heard it was very, very tragic. There were a dozen people in Yue Qiushan’s family, and they all died. The first responders who went over threw up."

Ling Shuiling felt a strong sense of fear.

Ling Jianshan swallowed hard and suddenly felt deeply thankful that his daughter had brought her boss back.

The female voice gave a final instruction, "Miss Ling, remember my words, never go home."

After that.

The phone call ended.

Ling Shuiling looked at Yang Fan, sincerely saying, "Thank you!"

Ling Jianshan also said softly, "Xiaoyang, we owe you!"

Yang Fan smiled and waved his hand, "It’s okay, I’m just saving myself too."

Ling’s Mother was full of anxiety, "Will that sticky plaster come over here?"

Yang Fan immediately dispelled this worry, "Don’t worry, this is Mr. Spirit Crows’ hometown. No matter how strong that sticky plaster is, it can’t be stronger than Mr. Spirit Crows. Since Spirit Crows have gone over, that sticky plaster is doomed."

Ling’s Mother breathed a long sigh of relief, "That’s good!"

On the other side.

A black Spirit Crow was soaring in the sky.

Its name was Black no.49.

In the Spirit Crow community, it was considered a rising star.

Now with Spirit Crow’s fame spreading globally, many Spirit Crows frequently went on "field" missions, which meant going to various places to resolve issues.

The Spirit Crows left to guard the home base inevitably reduced significantly.

Rising stars like Black no.49 also had a chance to shine.

"Beep!"

The micro-communicator on the Spirit Crow’s head beeped.

A deep male voice came through, "Mr. Forty-nine, have you found the target’s whereabouts?"

This was a captain in the Fifth War Zone of the Jiuzhou Legion, named Bai Xingjun.

The Spirit Crow replied, "I found it, but the target disappeared immediately after."

It explained, "The target appears to have an ability to completely blend into the snow and quickly move by using it."

The Spirit Crow casually gave it a name, "Perhaps this ability could be called ’Snow Escape.’"

Bai Xingjun asked, "Then how should we deal with the target?"

The Spirit Crow’s tone was full of indifference, "This thing looks scary, but its combat power is at most equivalent to a Quasi Warrior."

Bai Xingjun was speechless.

Currently, there are only four warriors in the world, counting the Mysterious Race guests, and a Quasi Warrior is not strong?

The Spirit Crow continued, "The target is very alert. It already knows I’ve spotted it, so it will never easily show up in the city, which means it will most likely escape to the outskirts. That’s what makes it most troublesome."

Bai Xingjun asked again, "What did Mr. Spirit Crows say?"

When in doubt, ask the boss, this is almost a consensus among all Great Xia Superpower Users.

The Spirit Crow’s tone carried a bit of helplessness, "The master said he would research the cause of the monster’s appearance. He also said we need more practice."

The implication was that we could only rely on ourselves.

Bai Xingjun sighed, "Alright then!"

Hunting a powerful monster whose strength is at the level of a Quasi Warrior, it made him feel a lot of pressure.

The Spirit Crow laughed, "Old Bai, be more optimistic. Since the master said so, he surely believes we can take down the monster.

"If such a monster showed up in other countries, they would probably mobilize the whole nation, but here in Great Xia, a Superpower User squad can solve it." 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Bai Xingjun was invigorated, "Right! We can definitely take down that monster."

He quickly came up with an idea, "Although we don’t know why humans turn into dreadful monsters, I think this is a very important clue itself.

"After Yue Qiushan went mad, his nature changed dramatically, but the human element still influences it somewhat.

"If we closely study Yue Qiushan and use a computer to build a large model, perhaps we can find the monster’s weak points, and then lure it out."

The Spirit Crow nodded its bird head, "That’s one way."

Celestial Star Agricultural Company.

Since Ling Jianshan was a major shareholder in the company, the company provided a luxury suite as a temporary place for the family.

This luxury suite belonged to the company’s internal hosting facility.

Recently, Celestial Star Agriculture received a huge investment of over ten billion Xia Yuan, and the scale began to expand rapidly.

With money in hand, besides building indoor farms everywhere, the company also acquired some assets.

One of these was a luxury hotel.

Before the Age of Calamity, the hotel was worth no less than a billion.

But when the Age of Calamity arrived, the global tourism industry collapsed, and all hotel valuations plummeted.

This hotel was no exception, and its operations fell into trouble.

Celestial Star Agriculture acquired the hotel at a rock-bottom price of 66 million Xia Yuan and renamed it Celestial Star Hotel.

It was a profitable deal.

Yang Fan, as a shareholder, also supported the acquisition.

Because he was fully aware that Great Xia’s economy was rapidly recovering and would certainly be more prosperous than before the Age of Calamity, by then the hotel’s operating condition would greatly improve.

At this moment.

Yang Fan did not leave but accompanied the family to the hotel.

He understood well that this family of three had been severely frightened, and his presence could give them a sense of reliance.

At the suite entrance.

Ling Jianshan and his wife first entered the suite.

Ling Shuiling deliberately stayed behind, turned around at the door, and looked at Yang Fan without blinking.

In this pretty girl’s eyes, there was clearly a strong fervor.

Yang Fan was taken aback, "What’s wrong?"

Ling Shuiling smiled charmingly, "I want to thank you."

Yang Fan suddenly understood what she meant.

This "thank you" was not merely a verbal thank you.

Ling Shuiling quickly moved her head closer, pecked him on the ear, and whispered, "You should get a room downstairs."

Yang Fan’s mind was filled with a single thought — does this count as a token of gratitude?
