Divine-level Base-Chapter 67: Thorny

Guo Tiantian couldn’t suppress her excitement and whispered, "Zhao Tie, did you see that? What was it? Magic? A Summoning Technique? I knew I wasn’t mistaken. This is huge news! Once I break this exclusive story, I’ll become a top-level reporter!!"

Zhao Tie also had a look of disbelief. "Magic!! Is all of this real?"

"GRRR~~!"

Several Black Dog Illusion Demons suddenly turned toward Guo Tiantian and Zhao Tie’s position and let out an intimidating low growl.

Shu Feng frowned slightly, glanced toward Guo Tiantian and Zhao Tie’s location, and shouted in a low voice, "Come on out!"

Zhao Tie said worriedly, "Sister Tian Tian, we’ve been discovered! What do we do?"

"So what if we’ve been discovered! What can they do to us? You think they’re going to kill us? You’re such a coward. You don’t have what it takes to be a reporter."

Guo Tiantian shot Zhao Tie a look, then strode confidently toward Shu Feng and You Meng.

Guo Tiantian said openly, "Hello, I’m Guo Tiantian, a reporter from the Lei Jiang Daily. This is my colleague, Zhao Tie. May I ask your names?"

Shu Feng whipped out his Spiritual Spear, Hei Ya, pointed it at Guo Tiantian, and barked, "Stop! Don’t move!"

Guo Tiantian’s face paled. She raised her hands and said, "Don’t shoot!"

Zhao Tie also turned pale, raised his hands high, and screamed, "Don’t shoot!!"

You Meng took out a palm-sized, jade-green Ruyi inscribed with countless mysterious Spirit Patterns. With a flick, the jade-green Purifying Spirit Ruyi emitted faint green ripples that enveloped Guo Tiantian and Zhao Tie.

You Meng said, "Neither of them are possessed by Ghostly Void Demons. They’re still human!"

Only then did Shu Feng lower his gun and say, "I am Shu Feng, a Third-level Police Chief! This area is very dangerous. Please leave immediately!"

After letting out a sigh of relief, Guo Tiantian’s reporter’s spirit flared up. She pressed on, "What kind of danger is in here? Oh, and Shu Feng, how did these big dogs and that monster suddenly appear? Is it magic? Are you a Mage, like in the legends?"

Shu Feng frowned slightly. "No comment. Please leave!"

Guo Tiantian became a bit aggressive. "Reporters have the right to report the truth, and the people have the right to know the truth. Please answer my questions."

You Meng frowned, her voice icy. "Shu Feng, don’t waste your breath on her. Guo Tiantian, is it? If you want to know the truth, then follow us. But let me be clear: it’s very dangerous inside. If you keep following, you’ll probably die. And we won’t protect you."

’Trying to scare me? I don’t scare easily!’

Guo Tiantian sneered internally and said aloud, "We don’t need your protection. We can protect ourselves."

You Meng said icily, "Let’s go, Shu Feng!"

Shu Feng frowned slightly and followed You Meng into Mulu Village. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

"Hello! We’re giving away free eggs over here. Just come listen to one of Master Zhang’s health and wellness lectures, and you’ll get a carton of eggs!"

Two handsome, energetic young men approached them with smiles on their faces.

The Purifying Spirit Ruyi in You Meng’s hand suddenly bloomed with a faint light. She aimed Hei Ya at the two young men and pulled the trigger.

BANG!

One of the young men’s heads exploded like a watermelon, splattering red and white matter all over the ground.

"Murder!! Murder!!"

Guo Tiantian’s face went completely pale. She stumbled back a few steps and screamed horribly.

Zhao Tie was even more frightened, frozen in place and trembling uncontrollably.

A cold, sinister wind rose, and a ghost flew out. It was translucent and rotting, with maggots crawling in and out of its empty eye sockets, and it bore a strong resemblance to the young man.

Staring at the hideous, terrifying ghost, Guo Tiantian felt as if she had been plunged into an icy cavern, her entire body freezing. ’What is that? A ghost? Are ghosts actually real?’

It pounced toward You Meng’s group.

"Go!"

Shu Feng gave a soft cry, and a Black Dog Illusion Demon leaped forward. Its claws and fangs were wreathed in a faint Demonic Qi as it bit down hard on the transparent ghost.

The ghost shrieked as wisps of black smoke rose from its body. It thrust its hands into the Black Dog Illusion Demon.

Wisps of Demonic Qi appeared on the Black Dog Illusion Demon’s body, blocking the ghost’s claws. It then tore viciously at the ghost, ripping it to shreds.

The other young man was also tackled to the ground by a Black Dog Illusion Demon, which bit through his throat in one go.

The transparent Ghostly Void Demon had only just appeared when the Black Dog Illusion Demon opened its massive jaws and bit down hard, severing its head.

You Meng’s eyes lit up. "Shu Feng, your Void Demon Summoned Beasts are really strong. It looks like they’ve all evolved to the Spirit Warrior Level. Could it be that you became a Celestial Favorer in the Andoras World and awakened the Summoner profession?"

Spirit Warrior Level Black Dog Illusion Demons are just cannon fodder in the Erosion Realm; you can see them everywhere. But on Blue Star, which is protected by the Heart of the World, they are relatively rare. The fact that Shu Feng’s summoned Black Dog Illusion Demons became so strong after he destroyed a Void Demon Gate naturally made You Meng curious.

Shu Feng smiled faintly. "Sister You Meng, asking about another person’s Spiritual Abilities is a major taboo, you know!"

You Meng shot Shu Feng a harsh glare. "Tch, you little brat. You dare talk back to me now."

Shu Feng said, "Sister You Meng, were these two Void Ghost Demons our targets?"

"Zhao Tie? Zhao Tie, where are you? Don’t scare me!! Let’s go back!! Don’t scare me!"

Guo Tiantian’s terrified screams suddenly came from the side.

Shu Feng turned to look and saw that Zhao Tie, who had been less than five meters behind them, had abruptly vanished.

A solemn look flashed through You Meng’s beautiful eyes. "It seems this mission is even trickier than I thought. The Ghostly Void Demons here are very strong!! It’s a shame the captain and the others are tied up, otherwise calling for reinforcements would be the best course of action."

"Shu Feng, I know I was wrong!! I’m begging you, please help me, please save Zhao Tie!! He’s only nineteen, he’s just a kid. Please, I’m begging you, help me save him!!"

Tears streamed down Guo Tiantian’s face as she rushed in front of Shu Feng and You Meng, pleading bitterly.

A flash of disgust crossed You Meng’s beautiful eyes. She rebuked her harshly, "Everyone pays the price for their own actions. We already warned you!! Your stupidity got your colleague killed. We still have a mission to complete, so shut your mouth and stay behind us. Now, be quiet, or get the hell out of here on your own."

Only then did Guo Tiantian back away a few steps. She stood beside a Black Dog Illusion Demon, tears streaming down her face, her heart filled with regret.

Shu Feng and You Meng continued walking toward the urban village.
