Chapter 361: Chapter 136: Suddenly Awakening Breath (Hall Master He DM2356)
(Congratulations to the new Hall Master “DM2356,” an extra chapter for you!)
This pale yellow fog enveloped a considerable large area, and despite its light color, no living creature’s silhouette was visible, except for the two types of creatures that had appeared initially.
Equally eerie was the fact that whether it was bases 1, 2, and 4 of the Expeditionary Army, or base 3 of Dingchuan Academy, the connected surveillance and early warning systems showed no response.
Viewed from high above, starting from the river, the yellow fog began to spread; whenever the fog moved to a new area, the previously occupied area would begin to dissipate and fade.
The fog slowly divided into four and moved simultaneously in four different directions.
…
Inside base three, it was now 2 a.m., and aside from the soldiers and students still on duty, everyone else had fallen into deep sleep.
Within the dormitory of the Tiger Hunting Team, snores thundered, and even White Hair lay on the bed with drool at the corner of his mouth.
Among these tough guys, Tracy was quite an oddity, wearing an eye mask and a pair of earplugs asleep in the far corner.
Mu Fan and White Hair lay next to each other, both sleeping sweetly with their mouths wide open.
However, starting just a moment ago, Mu Fan’s normally peaceful face suddenly furrowed his brows, smacked his lips, and continued sleeping.
Ten minutes later, Mu Fan’s sleeping face furrowed again, and he hummed discontentedly.
He turned over and continued to sleep.
This lasted for fifteen minutes before Mu Fan suddenly sat up, his eyes wide open.
He usually slept well, so why couldn’t he sleep tonight?
His heart rate inexplicably sped up, a nearly impossible occurrence for Mu Fan.
But it was indeed happening now.
Mu Fan had had a full dinner and needed sleep to digest it properly, but his beautiful dream was unexpectedly interrupted.
Listening to the intermittent snoring around him, Mu Fan brewed some sleepiness and lay down again.
But just as he lay down, Mu Fan felt as if his blood was agitated.
He couldn’t sleep!
Mu Fan got up intending to go out and splash some water on his face to clear his mind.
And then reflect properly on why he was suffering from insomnia.
As Mu Fan reached the door, he heard a raspy, lazy voice, “Little brother…yawn…where are you going so late?”
It was Tracy, who was still not fully awake, keenly aware of Mu Fan getting up.
As for the others, they might have noticed as well but felt no danger and returned to sleep.
Mu Fan’s hand had already pressed the scanner when he heard the lazy voice from behind. Shrugging his shoulders, he whispered softly, “Can’t sleep, just going for a walk.”
“Ha…then go ahead, remember to close the door.”
Tracy’s lazy voice settled back into deep sleep.
Mu Fan smiled and walked out of the barrack.
As his body truly stood in the frigid base, feeling the twice-filtered air flow, the agitation deep within him intensified.
What was going on?
Mu Fan walked out somewhat irritably.
Along the way, he encountered several duty patrols who didn’t question further upon recognizing that it was Mu Fan wandering the base.
Several students also greeted Mu Fan cheerfully.
After responding to them, Mu Fan headed towards the outskirts of the base, twisting his neck; his inner agitation was becoming stronger by the minute.
Even…
When he tried to use Dark Breath, he unexpectedly felt the state of Absolute Calm vanish, replaced instead by a faint sense of excitement and frenzy.
Mu Fan quickly suppressed this sensation. Was this Dark Breath?
It felt similar to activating Blood-colored Vision.
“Mu Fan, why is your nervous system somewhat disorderly? I feel your heart rate is too fast, and the analysis from your wristwatch shows that the electrolytes in your body are imbalanced.”
“It’s obvious,” Mu Fan’s voice came from within as a reaction that stirred within him caused a change in the data on his monitoring wristwatch.
“I don’t know, I just feel nervous, very suddenly and inexplicably.” Mu Fan had reached the exit of the base and was now leaning against the alloy outer wall, looking at the quietly swaying bushes in the distance.
“Can you be more specific? With your constitution, it’s theoretically impossible for this to happen.”
Shaking his head forcefully, Mu Fan finally suppressed the irritability a bit and told Black about his unusually erratic Dark Breath.
But he hadn’t expected that when Black heard these words, the voice suddenly disappeared.
A moment later, a hoarse and deep voice sounded in his ear: “Mu Fan.”
Fighter Instructor?
Mu Fan’s body stiffened immediately, and he lifted his head from the wall.
This was the first time he heard the Fighter Instructor’s voice!
“Instructor.”
Mu Fan whispered a response, teeth clenched, his voice authentically transmitted through the ear microphone.
“The restlessness caused by Dark Breath you mentioned, do you feel a baffling irritability arising? And is its frequency gradually increasing?”
“Yes.”
“…Is there any heating in the blood flow?”
There was a burning sensation in an obscure part of Mu Fan’s body, so he continued: “Yes, and it’s intensifying!”
The Fighter’s typically unchanging flat voice finally showed a fluctuation — a rare hint of icy chill in the tone — and his words caused Mu Fan’s heart to skip a beat.
“These damn creatures, they’ve discovered your scent and are probably marching this way now! I didn’t expect that across an entire Cosmic Plane, we’d encounter these damn bugs again!”
“Are you saying the Zeg are marching here now?” Mu Fan glanced around at the tranquil surroundings, his hair standing on end.
“Yes, you must have stimulated Dark Breath before. Heh… Once those ugly Zeg sniff out the scent of Ghost Energy, they won’t stop until they are dead. They will prematurely hatch a leader-tier Zeg. Now, Dark Breath is giving you a warning that the truly high-tier creatures of the Zeg Clan are leading the team here! The frequency of Dark Breath’s restlessness is related to the distance.”
No wonder the movements of the Zeg Clan had been so confusing lately; it turned out that their reasons for mutation were because of… himself?
A repressed feeling of irritation in his heart suddenly surged again.
Mu Fan unconsciously lifted his head and looked into the distance.
A yellow mist appeared in his view, startlingly conspicuous under the cover of night!
Even with his superior night vision, he couldn’t clearly see what was inside the yellow mist, but he was absolutely certain, it was the swarm!
“They… are here.”
Mu Fan murmured to himself.
Then, his figure shifted from stillness to motion abruptly as he rushed back to the base, took a deep breath, and a shout loud enough to pierce everyone’s eardrums resounded through the entire base.
“Enemy attack!~~~~”
Many people had been asleep in their clothes, and when Mu Fan’s voice, which could penetrate alloy walls sounded, nearly everyone in the base was awakened.
Instantly, the lights in all the barracks lit up, and teams of people began to spill out.
From when Mu Fan noticed to the warning, only about ten seconds had passed, but the distance of the yellow fog had already halved!
Seeing the confusion still on people’s faces, Mu Fan’s gaze suddenly fell on a Spider Chariot parked in the corner.
One of them had just been stopped by Deer.
Mu Fan couldn’t drive, but that didn’t stop him from recognizing the Fire God Cannon mounted on it!
“There’s a Zeg night attack!!”
Reminding everyone once again, Mu Fan leaped into the Spider Car, his hands gripping both sides of the mechanical mount of the Fire God Cannon. Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World.Site Only
His muscles bulged in an instant.
Yell~ah!
Under the terrifying force, the fixed mechanical arm of the Fire God Cannon was actually torn off by Mu Fan!
As White Hair charged out clutching a rifle, he saw Mu Fan roaring as he lifted the Fire God Cannon.
“F*ck…”
