205: Chapter 187: Fishing 205: Chapter 187: Fishing Life is not easy, Meow sighed. By all accounts, with the strength Lei Shuiyun showed, she should have been honestly assigned to logistics at this point. But because of Lu Ping’an’s request, she displayed quite rare diligence… not only in attitude but also in strength. She showcased a part of her improvement, showing off her freshly acquired Combat Series profession “Cliff’s Fang”, which surprised and even shocked the members of Special Service Team Three. Especially Lei Huoren, even with all his previous scheming, he never imagined that his sister would progress so quickly. Now is the time when people are in short supply. Since there are volunteers who go to battle, and their combat power is convincing, there was no reason to reject them. She replaced Lu Ping’an and participated in the battle. However, considering that she was still a pure newcomer with a lack of experience, her current task was to squat and wait for potential leaks, to avoid Secret Realm Demons escaping and harming the innocent… but this still put too much pressure on her. There are seven districts in the ancient city. If there are already fifteen Secret Realms and high-risk pollution incidents (3-tier or above) happening, Zion District is lucky; it only has one… but the intensity of this one is clearly a bit too much. At this moment, the Friendship Building on Huaxi Road has been completely turned into a lair of Magic Monsters. A large number of Stone-statue Ghost-like creatures have appeared here, turning batches of lives and models into stone monsters. The hard and brute force-covered Stone Bread Monsters, adult petrified lizards of over three meters, and a small type of life similar to evil eyes make this place a forbidden zone for mortals. Unlike those “Training Secret Realms”, wild Secret Realm monsters have no strategy guide, no obvious weaknesses, and often have human-like combat intelligence with a high upper and lower limit, making them extremely difficult to deal with. Teams 3, 2, 5, and 6 of the Special Service are struggling to siege here, trying to nail the core of the anomaly here before it worsens. The remaining teams are even busier, taking over many other tasks in Zion District. “Captain Xia, here’s your call, meow. It’s a transfer from logistics.” Just after retreating from the battlefield on the third floor, Xia Qin hadn’t even had time to take a sip of water when Lei Shuiyun walked over with a phone. “Mine? Why didn’t they call my cell phone? There should still be a signal… oh.” She sighed with resignation, took out a stone “cell phone model” from her petrified pants, the result of being targeted by petrified lizard light beams. Being unable to wear high-quality armor leaves her clothes with no protection function, and now she also needs to change equipment and clothes. A little helplessly, she opened the phone, and was immediately blasted with anger from the other side. “Team 3 from Zion District? Isn’t your team missing someone named Lu Ping’an? The one who was at the West Entrance Secret Realm, working together with Rescue Team’s Guan Xinxian? Damn, he’s messing around in my jurisdiction! Aren’t you going to take care of it…” Xia Qin quickly pulled the phone away to get away from the furious shouting. From the angry and disheartened appearance of Li the captain, things must be really urgent. According to the description by Captain Li, Lu Ping’an of Team 3 was causing chaos by attracting monsters to his campsite. “… I’m telling you, you’re the one responsible for this! We recognized him, he’s from your team, just tell him to stop!” Is this like seeking a parent’s help? Xia Qin thought for a moment, then said. “Err? I don’t know what you’re talking about. Indeed, there is someone named Lu Ping’an on my team, but he went missing during the previous TV tower battle. He was buried under the rubble, but he’s done great things.” With these words Xia Qin implied “he’s a martyr,” so don’t spread rumors. “… Huh? Missing? Are you kidding? It’s clearly him, along with his ability to attract monsters. That ‘Safe Journey’ bastard…” Both sides are old stagers, not naive, and there are many ways to play with the missing person card. “Maybe someone is impersonating him. Since you’re sure it’s him, give him the phone, and I’ll chat with him, scold him a few words!” This statement is almost non-human. “My ¥%&.” The figure on the phone, simply stopped bothering with human language. “Oh, oh, oh, bad signal, we’re still besieging here, gotta hang up first.” With that, she directly hung up, and then handed the phone back to Meow. Meow, however, was somewhat hesitant and even a little uneasy. “Captain Xia, is everything okay?” As a new recruit, Meow sometimes got too entangled when it came to such disputes. “It’s alright, just a matter of pushing responsibility around later.” Xia Qin seemed to have some ideas, but didn’t say much. The Bureau of Anomaly Management and the Special Service Teams genuinely employ flat management. Everyone is a special agent team captain, and sometimes arguments get heated. With evidence, they could arrest people. Without evidence, they could only watch. Taking the blame and responsibility? Isn’t that the daily behavior of team captains? “Jia Yi, huh…” These days, nobody’s an idiot, it’s just a matter of whether they’re willing to think or not. At this point, Xia Qin would rather trust the voluntarily “missing” Lu Ping’an than the unfamiliar Captain Li. “…I hope after this it won’t be another series of back-to-back disasters and overtime hell. Oh right, and report-writing hell…” Xia Qing looked southwards, where unrest could be seen everywhere. The Secret Realms were springing up all over the place, seemingly dangerous, but they were obviously just bait to lure officials into splitting their forces. What’s most important is to eliminate those hidden Mother Goddess believers. “From this perspective, maybe Lu Ping’an is right… Heh, I can only trust him now. I’ll make him work overtime writing reports later! Making Auntie carry the blame again!” But for Xia Qin, the first order of business is still to deal with these stone monsters in her jurisdiction. “Let’s go, Shuiyun, this time you’ll follow me inside. Given your ability setup, you should have the home advantage indoors…” ——— ——— “Bang!” The moment before the two of them hit the water, their survival instincts were screaming frantically. There was no need for any keen vision; the huge shadow under the water was the clearest warning. “Boom!” Before the two could even fully submerge themselves, the mountain-like canglong giant beast lunged up. Its massive body shot up like a rocket, with one of its colossal teeth as a giant sword. The power that could swallow everything was terrifying. “Damn, that’s a huge crocodile!” “It’s a lizard… a Kaga dragon lizard. In a sense, it’s indeed a distant relative of Earth’s ancient canglong, but much smaller in size. Watch out, they’re poisonous.” But for the two who were well-prepared, they managed to dodge the bite in time. With Guan Xinxian’s gravity control ability and Lu Ping’an’s rule-breaking aerial maneuverability, their team’s mobility in the air would be quite fearsome and not constrained by the laws of physics, at least until Guan Xinxian’s power reached its limit. The giant beast planned for the normal landing point and its surroundings, but as soon as it started moving, its “prey” simply drifted away and suddenly tentacles appeared in mid-air, pulling themselves completely away from their original landing spot. The two didn’t stop moving once they hit the water, but rather, quickened their pace. At this moment, Lu Ping’an was just an accessory… Fortunately, Guan Xinxian not only had excellent swimming skills but also had his own special underwater movement technique (ballistic) and the supernatural assistance of a 2-tier sailor, which made him very fast underwater. But just by hitting the water, the two were still in danger. “Why are there so many? I thought we lured most of them away.” “Sensory skin… many of the eight-tentacled Family Clan members have the ability to sense surrounding creatures through their skin.” Lu Ping’an explained, as his “cursed skin” began to work upon entering the water, sensing the life around him, and many of the predators sensed him as well. “Southwest; there doesn’t seem to be any large creatures there. Once we break through, head west, that’s where the ‘sacrifices’ are calling for help.” Seeing the approaching Jurassic-like canglong giant beast, both of them chose to run without hesitation. Just the size of it made it clear that it was not something they could handle by themselves. This time, there was no need to deliberately bait these creatures. As soon as Lu Ping’an entered the water, all the intruders started chasing him like crazy wherever he touched. “There are still too many… Brother Guan, let’s float up a bit; if we’re about to be caught, we’ll leave the water and try again…” Many low-intelligence sea beasts, powerful fishman officers, or those who instinctively resisted Beast Tamer orders, or simply had no habit of looking up, had avoided Lu Ping’an’s previous few attempts at luring monsters. So, it was simple – if they could easily approach their target, they’d do so directly; if not, they’d repeat their previous actions a few times. Finally, after “causing trouble” for their teammates two more times, the two reached their target. “Snap!” The underwater camera completed its work, and the sight of the bizarre energy vortices actually allowed the two to breathe a sigh of relief. But looking at the red-eyed, clamoring Fishman Beast Tamer, everyone knew that neither side had any way out.
