Chapter 154: [153] Catching a Big Fish

The white mist filled the air, seemingly boundless. Cheng Han walked at a steady pace while contemplating the next level in relation to Yu Xianglong.

A series of scenes quickly appeared.

The third level was called "The Rescuer."

Having experienced flying on a plane and braving through the mist, Cheng Han managed to bypass the extraordinary creature "Ke Zhang" and then heard a strange cry for help.

"Who can help me? I accidentally wandered into the mist and have been trapped for three days and nights."

Under normal circumstances, anyone would find this suspicious.

Unfortunately, this was a trick set up by the Xuan Shi. The cry for help contained a special power, and Cheng Han, unsurprisingly, fell for it.

He approached the person seeking help and tapped their shoulder. The person turned around, revealing a face covered in maggots and emitting black smoke.

Cheng Han immediately felt weak and was violently beaten, then tied up and thrown into a deep, dry well.

This experience of being trapped in the well left a deep impression on Cheng Han, and he no longer dared to recklessly save people.

After reviewing Director Yu's tragic life, Cheng Han shook his head. "These three levels are so disgusting, no wonder the Black Armor soldiers hold such deep resentment towards them."

He walked for more than ten meters when a vision suddenly flashed before his eyes.

The All-Knowing Eye was once again passively activated.

"Bang!"

Cheng Han stomped on the ground and floated backward like a flowing cloud.

"Buzz~"

The Spirit Profound Eye suddenly trembled.

A serious voice immediately sounded, "Cheng Han, I am Hu Yinan. The use of the Deng Que technique is strictly prohibited during training. This is a violation!"

Cheng Han calmly replied, "I don't want to die."

The other person sounded confused, "I don't quite understand what you mean."

Another resolute voice suddenly interjected, "Cheng Han, I am Mu Zhenghao, the deputy lieutenant of the Second Battalion. Have you sensed any danger?"

Cheng Han responded with a grunt, "There's something ghostly ahead, and it gives me a very bad feeling."

He had already discovered that after the All-Knowing Eye reached level 6, the probability of the skill passively activating in response to incoming crises was surprisingly high.

"Bang!"

Cheng Han landed on the ground.

Five meters behind him was Ke Zhang's territory.

Hu Yinan quickly said, "That's a training level arranged by the Black Mountain Camp, not a danger."

Cheng Han shook his head, "No! My intuition is very sharp. I've encountered life-threatening crises several times before, and I believe in my intuition, which is why I'm still alive."

If it were anyone else, no matter how eloquent they were, the monitoring team would not believe them, not even a punctuation mark.

But the person speaking was the genius who single-handedly killed "Qi Bi." They dared not outright deny his words.

Mu Zhenghao asked, "What did you sense?"

Cheng Han answered evasively, "Lieutenant Mu is right. The training system of the Black Armor Army has remained unchanged for a hundred years. It's really outdated."

Mu Zhenghao was a bit confused, "What are you trying to say?"

Cheng Han stared ahead, his tone calm, "Is it difficult to understand the details of this unchanging system that has been in place for many years?"

Mu Zhenghao finally caught on, "Are you suggesting that someone has secretly tampered with the mist?"

Hu Yinan blurted out, "Followers of the Divine Being!"

Cheng Han nodded, "That's right."

But he felt an urge to burst into laughter.

His true strength was comparable to a Xuan Master, but on the surface, he was just a warrior. Naturally, the enemy would judge him based on that, so what's the difference from being a "head provider"?

Having gained the title of "once-in-fifty-years genius" before, he had anticipated that this day might come, but he didn't expect it to happen today.

That being said.

This is not surprising.

His promotion to warrior was well-known throughout the city, and countless people had witnessed his training. It was only natural for the enemy to seize this opportunity.

Hu Yinan's tone suddenly became tense, "Cheng Han, use the Denge Style to leave the mist immediately."

Cheng Han decisively refused, "I am standing on Ke Zhang, I'm not going anywhere."

Although he had a way to deal with it and could easily kill the enemy, it would inevitably expose his true strength. It was best to stay put and wait.

Hu Yinan realized, "If you use the Denge Style, you will definitely be ambushed by the enemy. It's better to stay where you are."

Mu Zhenghao quickly said, "Cheng Han, stay where you are, I will bring people to support you immediately."

The corner of Cheng Han's mouth twitched, and he asked without hesitation, "Do you want to die?"

Without the need for deduction, it could be determined that the enemy's plan definitely included these idiots. For every one of them that came, one would die.

Mu Zhenghao was a little anxious, "I was transferred here to protect you. Should I just watch you get trapped there? Even if there is danger, I still have to try."

Cheng Han remained calm, "I am a genius, believe in my strength."

Mu Zhenghao didn't insist any further, "Alright."

Hu Yinan then asked, "What should we do?"

Cheng Han calmly uttered two words, "Wait it out!"

The enemy's plan had a serious loophole, which was underestimating Ke Zhang. Of course, if it were any other newcomer, this wouldn't be a loophole at all.

Under normal circumstances, no one could command Ke Zhang except for a Xuan Master who was proficient in the Universal Truth of Plant Communication.

But who could have expected that a new warrior would happen to possess such an ability?

Cheng Han muttered to himself with satisfaction, "On the surface, it seems like I just made a deal with Ke Zhang and it was willing to help me."

"In reality, this is the effect of the Spirit Control Xuan Seal, but I used the power of concealment to cover it up, even if a Xuan Master were present, they wouldn't be able to detect any traces."

Monitoring room.

At this moment.

This sudden incident made everyone a little panicked.

Mu Zhenghao, being a deputy lieutenant, immediately had an idea, "We must report to the Heishan Camp! Even if the enemy is not a Xuan Master, they are not far from it, and we can't handle it."

Hu Yinan regained his composure and looked at his subordinates, "Immediately request support from headquarters!"

"Yes!"

Hu Yinan continued, "It will take some time for reinforcements from headquarters to arrive. I hope Cheng Han can hold on."

The subordinates beside him looked at the figure in the image with subtle expressions.

Cheng Han was just a newcomer, yet he remained calm and composed in the face of such a crisis, while the two leaders seemed a bit confused.

Who is really the newcomer?

Mu Zhenghao murmured, "The 'seeker' is a 'Xuanfa wooden puppet' capable of using illusion techniques. The enemy has most likely tampered with the puppet."

He sighed, "Cheng Han is right, this training system is indeed outdated."

Hu Yinan corrected him, "That sounds like something Lieutenant Tiefeng would say."

Mu Zhenghao chuckled, "It's not just Lieutenant Tiefeng who said it. Many people have said the same thing, but the training system has been going on for a hundred years. However, when Cheng Han says it, there is a good chance it will end."

In other words, when others say it, it's useless, but when Cheng Han says it, it matters.

Hu Yinan didn't say anything.

From the current situation, the security risks are indeed too great, and the Black Armor Army must make changes.

Five minutes later.

"Buzz~"

The magical tool suddenly vibrated.

Cheng Han's voice sounded, "That thing is coming towards me."

The gaze of the group of people gathered together in a "swish".

Just two seconds later.

A disgusting and ferocious figure broke into the monitoring range of the magical tool.

It turned out to be an automaton.

But its body was covered with bloody flesh strips that wriggled like worms, looking extremely disgusting.

On its square wooden head hung four pairs of seemingly freshly dug out eyeballs, which was truly horrifying.

Mu Zhenghao took a deep breath and shouted the name of this thing, "Blood Butcher!"

Regarding Cheng Han's so-called "intuition," this deputy school lieutenant had always had a hint of doubt, but now that he saw this thing with his own eyes, all doubts disappeared.

Hu Yinan's face was full of fear, "The enemy secretly transformed the Xuanfa automaton into a Blood Butcher, and we didn't notice it at all. Fortunately, Cheng Han sensed that something was wrong, otherwise he would have turned into a pile of flesh."

As the person in charge of the monitoring team, if Cheng Han had an accident, he would definitely be made a scapegoat.

Mu Zhenghao's face was filled with worry, "The more flesh and souls the Blood Butcher devours, the stronger its combat power becomes. Some powerful Blood Butchers can even fight against Xuan Masters."

This deputy school lieutenant really didn't dare to go over now, because without specialized magical tools, any soldier who went over would be feeding the Blood Butcher and increasing its combat power.

Hu Yinan's words sounded like self-consolation and prayer, "I hope Ke Zhang can withstand the Blood Butcher's attack."

*

In the mist.

Cheng Han frowned, "Why does it smell so bad?"

The flesh hanging on the Blood Butcher looked like fresh meat, but it smelled several times worse than a cesspool, making people nauseous.

However.

Despite the stench, he was quite happy in his heart.

Because he had caught a big fish!

The appearance of the Blood Butcher allowed the All-Knowing Eye to analyze more information.

This flesh butcher was quite powerful, and its creator was also very strong, considered a master among Xuan Masters.

What else could this be if not a big fish?

Although the big fish was hiding in the dark, the flesh butcher itself was a strong connection. Sooner or later, the All-Knowing Eye would be able to identify this person.

"Poof! Poof!"

Dozens of vines emerged from the ground, forming a vine net that blocked above Cheng Han's head.

Ke Zhang had fulfilled his promise and would do his best to provide protection.

Among many extraordinary creatures, extraordinary plants were extremely trustworthy. Even at the cost of their lives, they would strive to fulfill their promises.

This had a bit of a "single-minded" meaning.

Cheng Han touched the Spirit-Controlled Xuan Seal with his mind and sent a message to it - let's fight together.

The vines swayed gently.

This was an expression of joy.

The two sides confronted each other for a few seconds before the battle broke out.

"Boom!"

The Blood Butcher suddenly jumped up from the ground and smashed down like a cannonball.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

More than ten vines struck at the same time.

They divided into two groups, forming a hierarchical attack.

Cheng Han decisively howled.

"Ah~"

A terrifying battle roar!

The howl of the Ghost Cry!

In the extraordinary vision, strange fluctuations spread out, constantly impacting the Blood Butcher and interfering with its use of source energy.

"Boom! Boom!"

The Blood Butcher was hit by the vines and flew out.

But this was not a disadvantage.

It was a probing attack.

Ke Zhang didn't fare well either, with several black lumps growing on its vines.

Blood contamination!

Blood contamination was extremely terrifying for humans and animals. Just a little contact would cause rapid decay of flesh and blood.

For plants, the danger was much lower.

*

In the control room.

"Ah~"

The piercing roar made everyone feel uncomfortable.

Hu Yinan couldn't help but complain, "Cheng Han, why are you shouting? This kind of attack doesn't have much effect on the Blood Butcher..."

Before he finished speaking.

He abruptly stopped.

In the monitoring footage.

One after another gray figures suddenly appeared and rushed towards the Blood Butcher.

The Howling Demons had arrived!

"Ah~"

"Ah~"

A burst of piercing screams erupted.

Hu Yinan's head buzzed for a moment, and he quickly rushed over to turn off the sound.

Damn!

So many screams, it's too terrifying.

At the same time.

Hu Yinan was still full of disbelief.

This group of Howling Demons was obviously summoned by Cheng Han's roar.

Mu Zhenghao directly asked, "How did Cheng Han do it?"

The group of people stared at each other, all shocked.
