Chapter 8, Unfinished Tasks

Laikona felt some confusion, but did not dwell on it. Oberon had sufficient self-defense capabilities; if even he could not protect himself, then Laikona would be of no help. At this moment, the hunter ahead had already found the route Su Li had taken and began to quicken his pace to pursue. Laikona hurried to catch up.

That night, when the Falcon leader took out the bottle of wine, only two-thirds remained. Half of this wine had entered Su's mouth that evening, becoming a reward for a mission, while the other half was now before Su.

The wolf pack on the move suddenly came to a halt. The electronics expert adjusted his headphones, listened patiently for a moment, and then looked up to say: "Someone has triggered my trap"

Despite knowing that this treasure is within reach, one still has to patiently search for it bit by bit, which is a tremendous test of patience for anyone

The dense clouds were torn apart by strong winds, creating a gap through which the scorching sunlight poured down. The various mutated creatures that had been active on the ground immediately scattered in all directions, seeking refuge in dark places. The temperature of the exposed ground rose rapidly, and soon the rising hot air distorted the objects on the surface.

Auberon walked at the end of the line, effectively protecting the entire rear half of the group. He moved silently, still reflecting on the moments that had just passed.

The azure eyes became unfathomably deep. He bent down, picking up the pieces of flesh that had fallen from his own body, one by one, and putting them into his mouth. He searched with great care, not even overlooking the slightly larger bits of flesh. In the end, Su Fu, by the pool of blood that had accumulated from his own wounds, licked his own blood like a wild beast, bite by bite

Nightfall quickly descends, and the cold wind dispels the heat of the day

There is now more open space than before, something happened

It was not until this moment that the muffled sound of gunfire could be faintly heard

The signature remains that of Oberon, equally beautiful and ornate in cursive.

The biochemist carefully took samples piece by piece, sprayed them with cryogenic liquid, and meticulously placed them into individual isolation bags, ensuring each was properly labeled

From the splattered flesh and large stains of fresh blood at the scene, it is evident to all that Su has sustained serious injuries. However, this statement still manages to calm the anxiety in everyone's hearts, especially that of Laikona. As long as he can capture Su, countless honors, rewards, and status will follow upon his return. In Laikona's mind, Su is a moving treasure trove, and judging by that portrait, although it is impossible to discern Su's complete appearance, he is already an enticing man. If it were not for the chilling invader, Laikona would be very willing to sample his flavor before handing Su over.

If it were not for the chilling invader, Laikona would be very willing to sample his flavor before handing Su over

After the blazing wind spun rapidly for dozens of rounds, it suddenly spread out in all directions, igniting everything flammable within a ten-meter radius of Leikona. An invisible force field seemed to surround Leikona's body, isolating the blazing wind from him; however, the suddenness of the event caused the range of the force field to fluctuate unpredictably. His dark dragon knight uniform could not withstand the high temperature, and large areas of fabric began to catch fire.

His dark dragon knight uniform could not withstand the high temperature, and large areas of fabric began to catch fire.

Standing amidst a sea of flames, Leikona gazed at the scorched earth not far away, from which wisps of blue smoke still rose. Suddenly, he broke out in a cold sweat! The trajectory of that bullet was aimed directly at his heart. Had it not been for Oberon’s keen perception, who promptly added a layer of defensive force field for Leikona, a large hole would have appeared in his chest.

Su began to organize his equipment and looked at the map in his mind, contemplating the next route. When he saw the K 7 base on the map, Su's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Regardless of where these wolves came from, judging by the time and direction of their appearance, the K 7 base was the most likely starting point.

The wolf pack was getting closer to Su Zheng, but they had not yet encountered him, so Su was unaware of the reason for the wolves' approach. By the time Su completed a large circle, he might be able to find some clues from the traces left by the wolf pack.

Auberon tightened his brows even more, yet he could not hold back Lecona and could only follow him into the city

Under the cover of night, Su moved like a nimble black cat, traveling at a speed of approximately 10 kilometers per hour. He could have gone faster, but any increase in speed might cause the barely closed wounds on his body to burst open, resulting in a few drops of blood. These drops would be enough to attract the wolf-like hunters behind him and expose his path. Nevertheless, there would still be difficult terrains ahead or lurking scavengers that Su would need to deal with, which would aggravate his wounds. These drops would be enough to attract the wolf-like hunters behind him and expose his path. Nevertheless, there would still be difficult terrains ahead or lurking scavengers that Su would need to deal with, which would aggravate his wounds.

In an abandoned villa, Su sat by the window on the second floor, carefully cleaning the parts of a rifle. After the last part was polished, he slowly and precisely reassembled the rifle, then loaded it with a flare round before carefully placing it beside him and covering the muzzle with a cloth strip to prevent dust from entering. The rifle was Su's guarantee for survival in the wilderness; after losing his handgun, the modified rifle became his only weapon. Moreover, in order to fight against the pack of wolves, this rifle was even more his reliance.

"Reinforcements?" Leikona shouted. "Why request reinforcements from headquarters? Why let those guys come and dilute our achievements? Do you know what kind of promotions we will receive after capturing him, and how much power we will gain?"

The entire world is silent to Su. His ears can no longer hear any sound, and the world before him is constantly swept by different colors. In his mind, countless nerves are jumping endlessly, tearing him apart with pain. Nevertheless, he still senses the scent of danger in the suddenly rising wind

As the team was about to pursue Su, Oberyn suddenly felt a sharp prick at his forehead. In that instant, Oberyn realized that he had been targeted! Just as he was preparing to activate his protective field, the prickling sensation quietly vanished.

The hunter turned on a sophisticated flashlight, but no visible light was emitted. This was an ultraviolet flashlight, and the hunter's eyes had been specially modified to perceive ultraviolet light

Like the Falcon Leader, Su's body was also covered with hundreds of interwoven fine lines. A large amount of blood plasma immediately surged from these fine lines, which then opened up to reveal the red and white flesh inside. Moreover, in some of the intersecting wounds, entire chunks of flesh had fallen off

Every corner of the K 7 settlement is stored in Su's maps and illustrations, not in two dimensions, but in three. It can be said that Su is thoroughly familiar with K 7. The population of K 7 is approximately over two hundred, which is neither large nor small for a settlement of this scale

With the faint morning light, Su spotted the Falcon Manor several kilometers away. Without the aid of advanced visual enhancement, he could see the twelve wooden stakes erected at the entrance of the manor, each adorned with a body.

Su caressed the name Oberon, his fingertips keenly sensing the steadiness and strength of the hand that had signed this name.

This time, no one was burned by the flames, yet the suffering did not diminish significantly. The dried blood trails on the stakes indicate that they were still alive when impaled from below by the wooden posts

Su had not gone far, which was a shared conclusion of the hunter and Oberon. In such a short time, having sustained such severe injuries, it was impossible for Su to move at high speed without leaving any traces. The traces left by Su were scattered around the manor, and it appeared that he had also circled around to confuse the pursuers behind him. As for now, in this land scattered with ruins, abandoned villas, broken highways, solitary power towers, and dense, twisted thickets, Su had ample hiding places. If his traces could not be tracked, even in an area as small as one square kilometer, a thorough search would still require an entire day, assuming the target remained stationary.

The signature is: Oberon

The night is Su's domain. He removed the modified rifle, chambered a round, and then, like a ghost, crept towards K 7

Su has resolved to conserve every ounce of his strength, intending to drag down all the wolves behind him. Since he can remember, he has often struggled on the brink of life and death. Now, Su is betting that these wolves, who clearly have grown accustomed to a life of privilege, cannot endure the pain, fatigue, hunger, and filth as he can.

I need more time to see if I can find any surviving samples of the invaders. The biochemist raised his head, his expression somewhat grim.

Su did not move the corpse on the ground any further, but gently pushed open the door of a nearby shed. Inside, an emaciated old man was sitting. Hearing the sound, he turned his head to look at the door, his murky gaze sliding past Su without any reaction. In the small shed, which was only a few square meters, there were three corpses in addition to the old man: one male, one female, and a child. The bodies had long since decayed, and a strong stench filled the shed, yet the old man remained oblivious.

The bodies had long since decayed, and a strong stench filled the shed, yet the old man remained oblivious.

Three more days! Leikona was clearly very dissatisfied with this answer, but blaming a Tier 3 hunter was utterly pointless. Leikona himself had no alternative candidates, and it was impossible for a Tier 4 hunter to serve as his retainer.

For these ten individuals, the city before them resembled an enormous monster, coldly watching them, waiting for its prey to walk willingly into its jaws

Auberon suddenly understood the message conveyed by this aimed pass: "Next time, I will kill you first"

Su left the small building and, after walking several kilometers, suddenly changed direction, heading diagonally towards Base K7

At this time, those still remaining in K 7 are merely helpless elderly individuals, waiting here to die. The survivors have long since departed; in fact, apart from relative safety, there is nothing to be nostalgic about in a settlement. As the corpses in K 7 begin to decay, the plague will swiftly claim the lives of those who dare to linger. Regardless of the old or new era, this has never changed.

Su slowly unwrapped the bandage from her right hand, her slender and smooth fingers gently touched the cover of the book before she carefully pulled it out from beneath the corpse. It was a palm-sized booklet, approximately 1 centimeter thick, with a beautifully crafted black hard cover, featuring the title in gold-embossed Gothic script: Revelation

However, the bullet was momentarily blocked, giving Raikona a chance to react. A bright red hue flickered in his eyes as he let out a loud roar, and suddenly, an extremely intense firestorm erupted around him! The metallic projectiles that rushed into this searing wind were immediately violently swirled, deflected, and scattered by the raging whirlwind. A large number of metallic droplets brushed past Raikona, falling onto the wilderness, causing the ground to emit wisps of green smoke.

Zhui! Laikena wore a gloomy expression and issued an order

Su slowly looked over each of the corpses, noting that they all shared a common feature: regardless of how mutilated their bodies had become, their faces were preserved intact, along with expressions of despair, pain, anger, and screams. Some of these faces were familiar to Su, while others were quite strange, but they all appeared to be residents of K 7. A rough estimate suggested that there were over forty corpses piled beneath the wooden pole. The bodies had already begun to decompose significantly, with large maggots occasionally wriggling in and out of the rotting flesh. It seemed that these individuals had been dead for some time.

Apart from the howling wind, there are almost no other sounds in the wilderness, nor are there any signs of activity.

When Su stood up again, only a patch of dark soil remained on the ground. He was no longer bleeding, but the hundreds of wounds on his body still gaped open like small mouths, revealing the pale flesh beneath.

Leikona looked at the hunter again and asked with slight dissatisfaction, "Can't we go any faster?"

The leading hunter suddenly stopped, carefully discerning the traces on the ground. After sniffing the air again, he said: "He changed direction here"

On this map, several locations are marked with bright red Xs, strikingly vivid in color

The attendants set up a collapsible field stove, added the standard rations into the pot, and then poured in water. There is a switch beneath the pot; with just a press, the high-temperature flame generated from solid fuel can boil the rations within three minutes. Each pot is equipped with one kilogram of fuel, sufficient for one month's use.

At this moment, the team was only 40 kilometers away from the Falcon Headquarters' trap. A predatory glint shone in Laikona's eyes, reminiscent of a wolf stalking its prey. He made a swift decision, ordering everyone to advance towards the Falcon Headquarters at the fastest speed. He then took the lead alongside Oberon and Rigoray, hastening towards the Falcon Headquarters.

In the heap of corpses in the open space, a corner of a book was exposed, appearing very out of place

However, Rigoray was not deceived by Oberyn's somewhat delicate appearance; he was deeply shocked by his formidable and mysterious abilities. Not to mention the powerful defensive shield, it was already incredible that he could sense the impending danger and protect Lycona in time against such a terrifying attack.

Under the first wooden stake on the left, there lies a somewhat familiar black-covered book titled "Revelation." Upon opening it, the front page bears the inscription "Immortal due to ideals, redeemed through return"

At this moment, he no longer possessed the calm, elegant, and somewhat arrogant demeanor; his eyes were deeply sunken, his golden hair was in disarray, clumped together in patches on his head. The dark dragon knight uniform, tattered and charred, was filthy to the point that its original color and dark golden embellishments were completely unrecognizable. Laikona was in such a state, and the other attendants were even more disheveled. They had often questioned whether Su had sustained any injuries; otherwise, how could he endure for so long, almost in an unceasing flight? Laikona was in such a state, and the other attendants were even more disheveled. They had often questioned whether Su had sustained any injuries; otherwise, how could he endure for so long, almost in an unceasing flight? Yet, every few dozen kilometers, they could find a few drops of blood, or even a piece of flesh, which renewed their confidence.

Ninety kilometers from Su, Leikona and others found some recent traces under a large tree. The electronic expert, who was a part-time escort, opened a map that was just as precise as Su's, clearly marking the route Su had taken in recent days, almost without error. The electronic expert made a mark at the latest position, thus creating an almost complete semicircle on the map

This is a pit of moderate size, just enough to bury a person. Surrounding it are only sparse patches of grass, which do not provide much concealment.

Rigaole slowly ate his portion of rations, as there were ten minutes for the meal, he was not in a hurry. During the past few days, cooperating with Laikona and Oberon, Rigaole had been a silent observer, quietly noting every detail he saw in his heart. Laikona and Oberon were both exceptionally talented young individuals, and among their ten attendants, six were third-tier ability users, while the rest were second-tier. At first glance, such a lineup could also be produced by the Roxelan Company, but the company itself had only a handful of professionals who were second-tier ability users and also specialized in biochemistry and electronics. These composite talents held high positions at the company headquarters; how could they serve as attendants, almost indistinguishable from servants, like the people before him?

Cooking rice takes three minutes, serving takes two minutes, eating takes ten minutes, and resting takes fifteen minutes. The actions of this team are as precise as a clock. After following Su in circles in the wilderness for five days, all the off-road vehicles were abandoned due to a lack of fuel. Moreover, because the vehicles were moving too fast, they often lost track of Su, making their efficiency inferior to that of marching on foot

The K 7 settlement was enveloped in silence. Although most people in the settlement would typically be fast asleep at this hour, a small number remained active, numbing their senses with alcohol, drugs, and sexual encounters. Tonight, the K 7 was indeed unusually quiet

The hunter hesitated slightly but ultimately responded, "Yes! Commander!" He was a retainer of Oberyn, but also a peripheral member of the Dark Dragon Knights. As a sergeant of the Dark Dragon Knights, Leikona was the highest-ranking officer present, and he had to obey the orders given, unless Oberyn explicitly opposed them.

He won't run far! I will kill him with my own hands!" Laikona roared, his eyes not only bloodshot but also the skin on his face taking on a deep crimson hue, as the high-temperature flames continuously formed around him, threatening to turn everything visible into ashes

However, no one understands the terror of the invaders better than this biochemist. No matter how dedicated he is, he would never wish to deal with such entities, especially since this is not a tightly secured laboratory. He only has a portable, rudimentary instrument and some basic protective measures. God knows how these invaders transmit their infection and what kind of effects they may have on the human body

He drank this cup to the brim, containing wine, blood, and flesh

This news still brought a sigh of relief to everyone present, as they all understood the terrifying nature of the invader, which slaughtered everything in its path. Although they had come precisely for this reason and were all quite capable individuals, they were still unable to grasp the channels and methods of the invader's infection. Facing a living entity directly made them feel somewhat apprehensive.

Such traps, such technology, Su had never seen before

"What is there to fear! Isn't this just perfect? The mouse has finally stopped fleeing." Laikona's eyes were bloodshot, looking particularly ferocious: "We have all received counter-sniper training. Moreover, a third-tier sniper would only have one opportunity to shoot in front of you, wouldn't they?"

Leikona let out a cold laugh and walked towards the city. Oberon stopped him, frowning and said: "It seems this is the battlefield he has chosen. We should call for reinforcements from headquarters. In such a large city, snipers will pose a significant problem."

As if vanishing like a ghost, the old man remained sitting there in a daze

Su Jingjing stood, gazing at the K7 settlement one kilometer away. Under the deep night sky, at this distance, even with his low-light vision, he could only faintly discern a rough outline.

Laikona looked in the direction pointed by the hunter, which was precisely towards K 7, and a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "It seems our trap is about to take effect"

For the past five days, Su has been walking for two hours and resting for half an hour, alternating this routine without distinction between day and night. He maintains a steady pace while walking, keeping it around ten kilometers per hour. Of course, Su's actual speed is much greater than ten kilometers; this is done to mislead the pack of wolves following him. At critical moments, even the slightest mistake could potentially turn the tide of the battle

Su requires physical strength, which is derived from food. At this moment, the best source of nourishment is one's own flesh and blood

Most of the time, Su would bend down and lick the bloodstains left on the ground with his tongue. He could no longer hear any sounds, and a constant, unbearable sharp pain could arise in his head at any moment, while the pain throughout his body was too much to elaborate on. Su's perception was extremely acute, which meant that the suffering he experienced was several times greater than that of ordinary people. When the pain reached a certain level, it turned into numbness. Thus, his senses and perceptions became somewhat dulled. However, the sensation on the tip of his tongue had not yet diminished, allowing him to absorb all the blood back.

Faced with the furious Leikona, Oberyn sighed and said, "I am aware of all this. However, if we pursue in this manner, the casualties may be significant"

An hour later, the wolf pack had gathered at the Falcon Headquarters, mhetushucom.com, where they found an abundance of surprises. The biochemical experts were busy collecting the soil contaminated with Su's blood and using magnifying glasses to search for every possible fragment of flesh. Surprisingly, the amount of blood and flesh at the scene was indeed pitifully small, but there were still remnants. With the advanced detection methods of the Dark Dragon Knights, the quantity of these samples was already sufficient. Surprisingly, the amount of blood and flesh at the scene was indeed pitifully small, but there were still remnants. With the advanced detection methods of the Dark Dragon Knights, the quantity of these samples was already sufficient.

The hunter inspected the position and said to Leikona: "It seems he buried himself in the ground during the day to evade our tracking. Now, he should have retreated to the east"

His only hope now is that the invaders are as vigorous and aggressive as their activity. Only by finding the surviving invaders in the soil or elsewhere and thoroughly freezing them with the portable cryogenic spray can he possibly obtain complete genes

In the blink of an eye, the sky has gradually brightened

A wooden pole, approximately 3 to 4 meters long, suspends a corpse that sways back and forth in the fierce night wind. Occasionally, a gust of wind turns the body, and in the faint night light, it becomes apparent that this corpse is that of the commander of K 7. A rope is tied around the commander's neck, hanging him from the pole. However, this rope does not appear to be the cause of the commander's death; his body is covered in burn marks, almost entirely reduced to charred remains, with a few intact limbs seemingly preserved intentionally, as they are deeply embedded in the carbonized clothing. Miraculously, his face bears no signs of burns, which allows for the extreme agony of his expression at the moment of death to be vividly captured.

"He is very cunning; his previous behavior was entirely to deceive us." The hunter said this with a serious expression more than once, each time adding, "Of course, he was severely injured."

Ten individuals turned and pursued eastward. Laikona was no longer prepared to concern himself with the biochemical experts and the two soldiers left at the estate, focusing solely on capturing Su

In the silent clearing, Su stood alone, resembling an undying vengeful spirit in a graveyard

Not only the central open space, but many rooms in K 7 are emanating a fresh stench of decay. The entire K 7 has turned into a graveyard, with only a few places still emitting faint breaths

"What happened? Have you found him?" Laikona turned back and asked with concern. He understood Oberon's abilities

Su leaned against the wall and fell into a state of sleep. In this area, Su had been wandering for a full five days, and the trajectory he had taken over the past five days was clearly marked on the map in his mind, forming a large arc that nearly resembled a semicircle. The area he had now entered was one that had been mostly explored on the map. Su was reluctant to engage in combat with others in a completely unfamiliar area. The area he had now entered was one that had been mostly explored on the map. Su was reluctant to engage in combat with others in a completely unfamiliar area

In an instant, Su had transformed into a bloodied figure

The buildings available after the restoration of the settlement are arranged in a circular formation, largely due to the need for defense against external threats. In the center lies a small open space, which serves as a gathering or trading place for the residents. The residence of the settlement commander, a small iron-clad house, is situated at the edge of this open area

Auberon... Su silently repeated this name once, returning the "Revelation" to its original place

The hunter was studying the traces left on the ground when he heard Leikona's inquiry. He looked up and said, "It cannot be faster. The traces he left are very sparse; we have now reached the limit of tracking him, and that is only due to luck. Recently, there have been no extreme weather conditions in this area; otherwise, a passing tornado would have erased everything. Based on the time of this trace, I estimate that we are less than 100 kilometers away from him. In three days, we should be able to enter the range for a dispersed encirclement attack."

Sula removed the bandage from her face, lifted the bottom of the wine bottle to her lips, and extended her soft, agile tongue to lick and suck the blood mixed with the wine at the bottom of the bottle. The tip of her tongue was met with waves of the sweet and metallic taste of blood, mingled with the strong aroma of alcohol and bits of flesh.

The shot aimed at Leikona was fired from a kilometer away. After firing, Su immediately withdrew and did not take the time to conceal the firing position, which allowed the hunter and Leikona to quickly locate the site.

The biochemistry expert conducted a simple examination of the obtained samples using a portable device he carried with him. As expected, the samples were filled with the remains of deceased invaders and other cellular debris. After preliminary staining, the dead invader cells contained countless fragmented gene pieces, which were irreparable, making it impossible to ascertain the true nature of the invaders

Su stood there, gazing at the spot where the bottle had exploded. There remained a circuit board no larger than a fingernail, its edges already charred. Those lethal sound waves and the life-sensing devices were all integrated into this inconspicuous little circuit board.

However, Su almost bore the full brunt of the sonic waves' destructive power His cloak was torn into hundreds of pieces, and fragments of his clothing and bandages flew through the air like confetti The modified rifle's fore-end was riddled with countless cracks, and even the sturdy barrel had several pale blue scratches on it

After venting, Laikona's emotions calmed somewhat, and the surrounding high-temperature flames ceased to emerge. He pushed Oberon aside and replied with equal seriousness: "The mission of a retainer is to serve us, even if it means sacrificing themselves without hesitation"

The wind brushed against my face, carrying with it a wave of putrid odor. Such scents can often be detected in the wilderness, but tonight the stench is particularly strong and far fresher than the drifting odors typically found on the plains

As for Li Gaolei, he has always had a scruffy appearance with a face full of stubble and a weathered style. Now, he simply has a longer beard and dirtier clothes, which is not much different from before

Time passed gradually, and soon the night once again enveloped this land. Although the people moved less freely in the darkness than during the day, there were third-tier hunters in the group who were unwilling to give up, as they were certain that Su could not have gone far. For such a cunning prey, it was essential not to give him a moment to catch his breath.

The wolf pack, as if sensing the scent of blood, changed direction and began to gradually accelerate

Su did not pause and continued to run at a steady pace until reaching the entrance of the manor, where he finally came to a stop

Within a ten-meter radius, only the biochemist was working anxiously, while the others strictly adhered to the regulations, standing more than ten meters away.

Auberon raised both hands to block Leikona and said earnestly: "He is far more dangerous than we initially anticipated! Just the two of us is not enough; request reinforcements from headquarters!"

After all, the sensing range of Oberon is 800 meters

In the glow of the flames, Oberon's face appeared extremely pale, his forehead covered in sweat, and his usually soft and flowing gray hair clung to his forehead. His gray eyes had also lost much of their luster. At this moment, he resembled a somewhat frail and pale young man, who, perhaps with a change of attire, could transform into a beautiful girl with a hint of androgynous charm

That night, twelve pairs of piercing eyes were fixed on the rough man at the table. The fourth from the left was the leader of the Falcon, and it seemed that the opponents did not regard him highly due to his size or first-tier abilities; he was merely mingling casually with the others.

Leikona's expression was clearly somewhat displeased, but he did not explode in anger. Instead, he looked at the map and said coldly, "If this guy really wants to take us on a damn detour, I hope you can give him a sufficiently big surprise"

Su could no longer tear his already tattered clothes, so he ripped them into strips and wrapped two ceramic bulletproof plates around his body, barely covering some of his wounds. He discarded all his equipment, taking only twenty handmade bullets, and then picked up his rifle

We continue the pursuit! As before, we will use all means to provoke him, compelling him to come find us. Now, we will take a 30-minute break, and after 30 minutes, we will regroup and set off!

This was the first time he had come so close to death

In the darkness, a flicker of fire suddenly appeared in the distance. Oberyn's expression changed dramatically; without having time to call out, he swiftly extended his hand and pressed towards Laikona, who was several meters away.

He slowly bent down and lifted a charred arm of a corpse. As he touched it, ash immediately flew up, indicating that the flesh had been completely incinerated. However, at the edge of the ash, there was still a thin layer of flesh adhering to the bone. Strangely, while the outer layer of the arm was entirely carbonized, the inner flesh remained relatively intact. This suggests that the flames burning the corpse were of an extremely high temperature, far exceeding that of ordinary flames, capable of completely carbonizing the flesh in a short period of contact. After pondering for a moment, Su stood up.

The glass scraped against the bone, producing a series of sharp and piercing sounds, reluctantly detaching itself from the flesh of Su's chest. This was the bottom of a wine bottle, upon which a pool of fresh blood had collected, stained with specks of minced flesh.

However, Oberon wanted to refute it, but ultimately did not speak out.

Su slowly lowered his arms that had been protecting his face. In the instant when the sudden change occurred, Su had shielded his head and face with his arms, but he could not care about anything else. His arms were a bloody mess, with only his face and eyes remaining unharmed; however, blood began to seep through the bandages on his ears. In comparison to such a ferocious sonic attack, his ears, which possessed super-frequency hearing capabilities, were indeed too delicate.

If this shot were aimed at Li Gaolei, he would consider it a dead end.

As Su was about to leave, he suddenly stopped, drawn by something that caught his attention: it was the sound of the night wind rustling the printed materials

Su slowly raised his hand, grasping the shard of the broken bottle that was embedded in his chest, with only a corner exposed. With a surge of strength, he forcefully pulled the shard out of his sternum. As he exerted himself, a large amount of bright red blood gushed from his arm and half his body, flowing down and pooling at his feet, forming a puddle of blood.

His gaze fell at the feet of the falcon leader. There lay a wine bottle, tilted over, with a little more than half a bottle of murky liquid inside. From the style of the bottle and the completely indistinguishable label, it could be discerned that this was likely a bottle of vintage wine from a bygone era

Auberon’s complexion grew even paler, sweat once again dampening his hair. He forced a smile and said, "I am fine, please continue."

After fifteen minutes, Rigaley fell into a deep sleep, snoring loudly. As soon as the alarm rang, he sprang up energetically. In Laikona's gaze towards Rigaley, there was a hint of respect. After five consecutive days of relentless tracking, even the third-tier attendants began to show signs of fatigue, but only Laikona, Oberyn, and Rigaley remained completely unfazed.

Time is still ample, and Su is slowly moving his body. His skin trembles slightly, constantly sensing a faint prickling sensation, which is a sign of danger, indicating that those behind him have not given up on tracking him. Many wild beasts possess a natural instinct for danger, and Su is no less adept in this regard than most beasts, perhaps even surpassing them. After choosing the domain of mysticism, his sensitivity to danger has become even sharper. Perhaps this is one of the lesser-known benefits of mysticism.

The young man before me, who is erudite, quiet, humble, and even somewhat frail, at this moment resembles an unfathomable abyss or an endless ocean, utterly impossible to gauge in depth.

"He must have already discovered us, that cunning fellow, trying to lead us in circles," said Lecona with a sneer. He glanced at the electronics expert and asked, "Is that thing of yours reliable?"

Su walked towards the wine bottle. After taking just one step, he suddenly stopped, his eyes narrowing slightly as he glanced around. Su's chest began to tighten, his heartbeat quickened, and the blood coursed through his body, causing his temperature to rise rapidly. His light golden short hair seemed to ripple, as if stirred by the wind. Yet at that moment, there was no wind at all

While the hunter meticulously examined the traces on the ground, the others aimlessly scanned the dark night around them. Most people did not understand how the hunter could discern anything from that seemingly barren patch of earth, but it was certain that he had found a clue, which was why he was being so cautious

Beneath the wooden pole is a heavy base, formed by a stack of corpses

As the team began to march, Oberyn suddenly came to a halt! He stopped so abruptly that a retainer behind him nearly lost his footing and collided into him!

Opening the cover, the title page is inscribed in elegant and ornate cursive: "May the lost traveler find rest from now on"

The biohazard expert announced, "The intruders have been found, but they are all dead"

A retainer under Leikona immediately found a suitable position, set up a long-range sniper rifle, and searched for Su's whereabouts through the composite sight. The other retainers assumed combat stances, preparing to charge towards the direction from which the bullets were fired

This is an extremely dangerous feeling, and it is getting closer!

Su He placed this book, "Revelation," upright in front of the pile of corpses, and then vanished into the night.

Auberon appeared somewhat better; despite the weariness etched on his youthful face, his eyes still radiated sunshine. Apart from himself, no one knew the pressure he had endured along the way

Leikona suddenly let out a roar, and a circle of flames erupted around him, transforming the area within ten meters into a sea of fire! The entourage immediately scattered in all directions, for they dared not approach this seemingly ordinary flame. This flame, ignited by a supernatural ability, possessed an extraordinarily high temperature, capable of completely charring a human body in just a few seconds. Only Oberon stood amidst the sea of fire, unmoving. As the flames reached him, they automatically parted to the sides, flowing past him.

With a soft sound of a wave, a burst of fire suddenly ignited one meter in front of Leikona. A bullet, as if colliding with an invisible wall, abruptly slowed down, and then the bullet head began to undergo intense deformation. If it had been an ordinary bullet, it might have exploded in vain before this barrier; however, this bullet possessed immense momentum, far exceeding the ordinary. Although the bullet head turned red and bright due to high-speed and powerful friction, almost melting into a mass of molten iron, it ultimately still pierced through that invisible wall with a whoosh, transforming into a searing jet of metal, hurtling towards Leikona's chest! Although this metal jet had significantly reduced speed compared to before, its force and high temperature could still easily penetrate a thin steel plate.

Under the night sky, thirteen individuals moved through the wilderness like wolves. However, the true rulers of this land at night, the pack of rotting wolves, seemed to sense the danger and vanished without a trace

Laikona left two individuals to assist the biochemical experts, while the others were led by the hunters to search for Su's whereabouts. However, once they left the Falcon Headquarters, all clues regarding Su were completely severed. Oberyn's hunter attendants possessed multiple second to third-tier abilities in the perception domain, as well as second-tier agility in the combat domain, along with nearly twenty years of wilderness survival and tracking experience. Even so, they had to be extremely meticulous to possibly find the almost imperceptible traces left by Su.

With a soft thud, a sudden strong wind arose centered around Laikona, causing Oberon’s gray hair to flutter wildly and his black uniform to cling tightly to his body. Several second-tier ability users, caught off guard, were unable to withstand the wind pressure and staggered backward. Rigor stood still, yet he felt a surge of alarm from the powerful wind pressure rushing toward him

There is no need to go. Oberon stopped the guards who had just set off and said calmly: He has already gone far away

The night is windy, with a chaotic breeze that fluctuates between fast and slow

Su did not flee into the distance, but instead advanced towards the pack of wolves

The team advanced very slowly; several hours passed, and they had circled the Falcon headquarters three full times, yet they had only progressed two kilometers from the central point

In Su Bise's azure eyes, all the scenery was distorted, and it seemed as if several jet engines were roaring simultaneously in her ears. Intense sound waves ranged from dozens of hertz in the infrasonic spectrum to hundreds of thousands of hertz in the ultrasonic spectrum, colliding with Su's body in an instant

Half an hour later, Su opened his eyes, precisely on the second. At this moment, the clouds in the sky gathered again, and the wilderness was once again shrouded in a gray and gloomy haze. The heat brought by the scorching sunlight just moments ago still lingered, and upon stepping onto the ground, waves of heat continued to rise beneath his feet

In the vast darkness of the night, Oberon was unable to sense Su's location, nor could he track Su's movements through the fleeting feeling from a moment ago. This indicated that Su was beyond the limits of his perception. However, given that their contact had been so brief on two occasions, Su should not yet be able to deduce Oberon's sensing range. Therefore, when he next appears, he may very well be locked onto by Oberon

Calmness and patience are qualities that every Dark Dragon Knight must repeatedly remember. Laikona has a naturally impatient temperament, but his strict upbringing allows him to suppress his inner turmoil and refrain from meddling in the affairs of hunters. That is the retinue of Oberon, and trusting professionals is a common knowledge known to all Dark Dragon Knights.

All the houses in the manor have been burned down, leaving ashes and collapsed ruins everywhere. Among the rubble, limbs can occasionally be seen protruding, while more are charred remains that are indistinguishable. Judging by the quantity of the remnants, some of the elderly, children, and women are buried in the site of the fire, while others are missing, uncertain whether they were driven away or perished elsewhere

The murky liquid in the wine bottle suddenly began to boil, and without any warning, the bottle lifted off the ground and flew off at an angle. Just half a meter into its trajectory, the bottle was covered in cracks, and then it exploded with a loud bang

The corpse of the Falcon Leader was suddenly covered with hundreds of wounds. Initially, there were only nearly invisible fine cracks, which then opened up, transforming into countless wounds of varying depths. The blood of the Falcon Leader had long since dried up, and as the wounds appeared, hundreds of pieces of decaying flesh began to swirl in the air, resembling gray or green moths. Several corpses closer to him also inexplicably developed many wounds, though they were significantly fewer and much shallower than those on the Falcon Leader.

The farther away the corpses were, the fewer the scars on them.

On the fourth day, a vast city ruin appeared before Leikona. This city is the location that connects to the underground passage of Base N11

The electronic expert raised his head and said solemnly: "Apart from His Excellency Oberon, there should be no one in our team capable of discovering and dismantling my device"

At this moment, he is both a wounded lone wolf and a mercenary on a mission

Moreover, the equipment of the Dark Dragon Knights is exquisite, simple, and practical, with almost every piece containing technology that surpasses the capabilities of the Rockserlan Company. For instance, this field stove is something that the Rockserlan Company cannot produce on its own. While metallurgy, electronics, and precision mechanical processing are manageable, the efficient solid fuel is far beyond the company's research capabilities

Leikona pointed at the hunter and commanded in an unmistakable tone: "You lead the way and find that kid!"

With Leikona's abilities and the technology of the Dark Dragon Knights, even if shot in the chest by a sniper rifle, as long as the brain remains intact, there is still a chance to survive. However, the power of this shot is far greater than that of an ordinary sniper rifle, comparable to an anti-material rifle. If struck directly by this bullet, it is likely that a significant portion of Leikona's chest would be blown away, and at that moment, no matter how advanced the technology of the Dark Dragon Knights is, it would be unable to save him.

Su bent down and placed the clean bottom of the bottle at the feet of the falcon leader. This cup of blood wine shall serve as the final payment for his promise to the falcon's task
