561: Chapter 438: Decapitation Strike, Begin!

“Multiple Burst Spirit Skill…

Why do I always feel like this name has a familiar ring to it…”

“Well, the name isn’t important.

What matters is that it’s useful.”

Zhang Xiaoman finally consoled himself for his naming talent, and then he left the space and headed for the Dawn.

He checked the message box he had left for the Abnormality Department to see if they had responded.

“Huh?

That was quick?”

In the mailbox, there was already a new voice message added.

Upon clicking and playing, the calm and deep voice of Hu Hu emanated from it.

“Lord Jixing, greetings.

We have received the Spirit Binding Scroll you provided and are very thankful for your generous donation.

I believe it will play a crucial role in our beheading operation tomorrow.

Furthermore, regarding the request you proposed, we are more than willing to assist the Star Alliance.

The alien species corpses we obtain tomorrow will be handed over to the Star Alliance for disposal.

The Azure Dragon Army, along with the Abnormality Department, will embark on the beheading operation.

I also hope that you would be willing to lend your help, as the monster underground is a common enemy to us all.

Lastly, I wish us a smooth cooperation in this operation!”

After listening to the audio from on board the Dawn, Zhang Xiaoman was at first elated, then fell into contemplation.

The fact that Hu Hu agreed to his proposal so quickly was certainly good news.

However, there was one thing that worried him.

It was about the monster corpse.

Zhang Xiaoman understood that the purification theory he had spoken of wouldn’t stand up to scrutiny.

With modern technology being so advanced, completely destroying a monster’s corpse is not impossible.

The simplest method would be to burn it at high temperatures, which could also achieve the effect of eradicating all traces of the corpse.

Even within the Star Alliance, this talk of purification would be met with skepticism.

After all, the special effect transmitted to the hand during the absorption of the monster’s body was too conspicuous.

The threads transformed from energy all drifted toward the palm of the hand, which is not the usual look of purification.

Such a scene would immediately make people think of “absorption.”

At the moment, everyone had just started hunting monsters and hadn’t noticed this aspect of things.

But as people become more proficient in the future, they would naturally become suspicious.

The secrets of the System were something he could not possibly reveal.

Therefore, rather than waiting for others to notice something in the future, it would be better for him to take the initiative and find a more robust justification.

Over the past few days, Zhang Xiaoman had been contemplating this issue.

Ultimately, he decided to pin the answer on the Original Realm.

Everyone knew about the Original Realm, but that was limited to just hearing the name; no one had ever entered it, let alone understood it.

Thus, Zhang Xiaoman decided to shift the burden onto the Original Realm.

He planned to find a suitable opportunity to reveal a bit more information to everyone, which was that using the Eye of the Starry Sky to purify monsters was also a means of reinforcing the Original Realm.

In the future, once the Original Realm stabilized, everyone would be able to enter this new space for development and construction.

With this, I should be able to patch up some of the earlier oversights.

As long as the existence of the System remains undiscovered, my bluffs will essentially remain unexposed.

Of course, with the Ultimate Item now intervening to change the entire world, those words of mine can hardly be considered bluffs anymore.

Having dealt with these matters, Zhang Xiaoman replenished his Energy and stored all the Skills that he could.

Feeling a wave of sleepiness hit him, he simply went to sleep right in the captain’s quarters on the Dawn.

…

The next day, noon.

Just like yesterday, it was again at the time when the sunlight was most intense that the Azure Dragon Army soldiers launched their beheading operation against the crisis in the underground cave.

At this moment, the base was a hive of activity.

The thirteen teams involved in the operation, totaling 105 people, were all ready to go.

Around them, there were dozens of armed helicopters.

Although they could not enter the Mist, they played a crucial role in securing the aerial environment.

Even at the Vermilion Bird Military Base a hundred kilometers away, several of the most advanced Feng 4 fighter jets were on the runway, ready to provide support to this location at any moment.

Moreover, considering certain special circumstances might arise, the alert perimeter had been expanded significantly to prevent any civilian casualties.

Luckily, since nearby areas consisted mainly of national roads and highways with few residential properties, it only required roadblocks to be set up, which did not attract too much attention.

From the series of actions taken by the Azure Dragon Army, it was clear that they were determined to resolve the crisis in Sheep Village.

After all, no one would be willing to live with such a threat lurking beneath the ground of their own hometown.

On the other side, in the center of Sheep Village and 30 meters underground, Zhang Xiaoman led his Star Guard army back to the same tomb chamber they had visited yesterday.

This time, knowing the location of the real entrance, he went straight to the artificial hill in the corner.

The volume of this artificial hill was immense; it seemed that the entire tomb’s water flow system originated from here.

On the hill, a giant curtain of water hung in the center.

Now that he already knew the outcome, Zhang Xiaoman noticed many suspicious details when he looked at it.

There were wet marks on places where water should not have splashed, which clearly indicated something had passed through here.

After sending a Star Guard ahead to scout, Zhang Xiaoman began to wait on the spot.

Suddenly, the Star Guard leaped into the waterfall, and his figure vanished from sight almost immediately.

“So it’s really here!”

Zhang Xiaoman’s heart leapt with joy; in his silver-glowing, Eye of the Starry Sky, he could see the silhouette of the Star Guard growing more distant.

After waiting a moment and letting the scout push on a bit further, he led the main force to start their move, each jumping into the hidden entrance behind the curtain of water.

Behind the water curtain, darkness still prevailed; Zhang Xiaoman was obliged to rely on the Lighting Spell Light Ball in his hand to clearly see the surroundings.

Here, unlike the outside, at first glance, there were almost no signs of human activity; the walls around were all covered with thick plants.

And these plants were not the green known to humans, but a vivid red.

The road here also continued downward, with many areas directly forming a spiral staircase structure.

“Eerie…”

Zhang Xiaoman walked through this passage filled with crimson plants, feeling amazed.

Even with his fortitude, he could not help feeling a chill down his spine.

As he walked through this environment, he inexplicably had the illusion that he was stepping towards the Nine Netherworld Yellow Springs.
