A team of spirit hunters was prowling near the **Wind Altar**, and I’ve already dispatched two elite squads to intercept them,” Ao Ge responded in a deep voice.
Gao Tiankai’s head buzzed.
“Idiot, that’s a squad led by Yang Jian, a first-rank swordsman. The Great Jing District has already made a move on Jingcheng. You only sent two elite squads? What are they going to do, just tickle them? Are they even enough to fill their teeth?”
Ao Ge suddenly realized, “You’re right, sir. I’ll recall them immediately.”
“Recall them?? Then the altar will be unguarded, a freebie for them?”
“Then… what do you suggest, sir?” Ao Ge humbly asked, scratching his head.
Gao Tiankai, enraged, smashed his teacup, “Of course, we send more brothers over! You, you, you, and the two of you, go, all of you! Even if you can’t kill Yang Jian, you must trap him. The altar cannot be lost again!”
“Yes!”
The black-robed figures whose names were called sprung into action, and the number of people in the cave was instantly halved.
Suddenly, Manager Zhang shuddered. This sea monster, originally possessing psychic abilities, had its powers ascended after devouring a human heart.
At this moment, his eyes were clear, and he pointed a finger at his forehead, as if he had perceived something.
“Enemies have infiltrated the **Ze Altar** area. There are 3 intruders!”
“One is a human, main weapon is a gun, strength 50, agility 50, stamina 50, overall power at least third-rank.”
“Gun? Hee hee hee, I know a very interesting person.” Sun Xiaoxiao licked her lips and hummed a little tune.
Gao Tiankai paused, then let out a wry, helpless smile.
Duan Chen, you’ve indeed come back again.
“Another… person?” Manager Zhang frowned in confusion, his tone becoming uncertain.
“Useless, you’re even unsure if it’s a person?”
Manager Zhang’s brow furrowed even deeper, “It seems to be… a bird! Strength attributes cannot be detected, agility attributes cannot be detected, stamina… cannot be detected at all!”
Sun Xiaoxiao said speechlessly, slapping her forehead, “Are you serious?”
Gao Tiankai, however, instinctively felt a sense of foreboding, his eyes narrowing slightly.
But then, Manager Zhang’s body trembled, and his face turned pale as he continued to speak:
“There’s one more! There’s one more…”
“Is it a person?” Ding Ding asked.
“!! Ah!!”
Manager Zhang screamed in shock, his head seeming to be invaded by something. He clutched his head in pain and curled up.
“Damn, what’s going on? Is it human or not?” Ding Ding was startled.
“Bomb… bomb! There’s a bomb!”
Manager Zhang shouted hoarsely, and then his head began to swell and distort. His skin tore open, revealing uneven scales and a fork bone underneath. His eyeballs popped out of their sockets.
*Bang—!*
A massive explosion resounded in the cave, instantly splattering green blood throughout the space.
A念壁 (Nianbi - a psychic barrier) materialized in front of Gao Tiankai, blocking the aftershocks and the flesh and blood.
“Anti-reconnaissance ability… Hmph, the opponent is quite strong.” Gao Tiankai’s expression turned grim.
Manager Zhang’s head had been blown off, and he lay on the ground twitching.
At this moment, a woman walked in with the crisp sound of high heels. She pushed aside her black robe, revealing a pure white nurse’s uniform beneath. Her ample bosom swelled, and her long legs were encased in delicate stockings, capturing the gaze of every man present.
Nurse Tian Qi smiled proudly and straightened her back even more.
“At times like this, it’s time for the medical staff to make their entrance~”
She hugged a giant syringe, and a needle as thick as her fist plunged into Manager Zhang’s backside as he lay on the ground.
*Bang!*
A gush of strange bloody water erupted from the syringe, enveloping Manager Zhang’s body. His shattered head and neck, like rolling glue, reattached the fragments.
Gao Tiankai felt a sudden discomfort in his stomach. His gaze towards Tian Qi became complex.
This female sea monster could actually restore someone on the verge of death!?
Was her ability a little too powerful?
At this moment, Manager Zhang stood up again.
“Ah, ah…”
He opened his mouth, regaining his ability to speak.
“Damn it, my mind was invaded. I can’t even discern the shape of the third person, not sure if it’s human!”
Gao Tiankai’s expression was extremely grim. What kind of strange demons and ghosts were around Duan Chen?
“Good, very good. One human, accompanied by a bird, and something unknown has infiltrated, and they managed to blow off one of my top subordinates’ heads before we even met.”
Ding Ding pouted and said to Gao Tiankai, “My Lord Apostle, the opponent is very strong. Perhaps we should retreat for now and lie low in the land world?”
Gao Tiankai glared at her, his eyes flashing with sinister killing intent.
“Retreat? Hmph, don’t be mistaken, this is our home turf.”
“As expected of you, Lord Apostle!”
The black-robed figures looked at Gao Tiankai with adoration.
Just as Gao Tiankai was about to say something else, heavy footsteps suddenly echoed from outside the cave.
Terrifying demonic energy surged in like a tide, and the black-robed envoys involuntarily prostrated themselves.
Gu Sang, wearing mask number 03, appeared at the cave entrance. His towering form was like a small mountain, with a hot current, resembling magma, flowing over it.
Two steps behind Gu Sang stood a woman of celestial beauty.
She was as holy and beautiful as an angel, exuding a faint holy light, contrasting sharply with the dark Gu Sang.
Suddenly, her eyes flickered, and her gaze fell upon the two nurses.
“Tian Qi, Ding Ding…?”
Xiao Fang softly called out, a faint flicker of light appearing in her dead eyes.
She hadn’t expected to see former colleagues, friends, and best friends in the depths of the sea. If there was even one person she could talk to…
Nurse Tian Qi looked up upon hearing the voice, her gaze filled with unfamiliar adoration.
“My Lord, did you call me?”
The light in Xiao Fang’s eyes quickly extinguished, and she lowered her gaze, standing silently to the side.
This was not the real Tian Qi; the real Tian Qi had been devoured by her.
Ding Ding, standing beside her, lowered her head silently. Although she had recognized Xiao Fang.
Back at Sacred Heart Hospital, this woman had definitely died. Even Ding Ding, who had no memories then, was saddened by her diary, and the other nurses had cried for a long time.
How had she come back to life? And become a sea monster too?
Ding Ding had died early. By the time she met Duan Chen, she was already Sea Monster Ding Ding. However, her memory awakened a bit later. It was a chaotic time, and she hadn’t announced her amnesia. She had even mistaken herself for a human and fled with everyone for a while until her sea monster memories returned.
Therefore, she remembered everything that happened at Sacred Heart Hospital, unlike Tian Qi, who was a complete “newcomer.”
Tian Qi’s large, round eyes darted around, fixated on Xiao Fang.
This woman was even more beautiful than herself. She truly had eaten a lucky heart.
If she had the chance to devour her, and then use her own abilities to impersonate her…
Wouldn’t that instantly make her the favored darling beside the Lord Apostle, traveling the world with him, ascending to heaven and earth, all while avoiding any enemies and the upheaval, enjoying endless glory and wealth?
Suddenly, Tian Qi’s vision was blocked by a “wall.”
