The howling wind and pouring rain! In the Layered Battlefield of the Mossley Great World, a figure stumbled closer from afar. Blood mixed with rainwater dripped down, nourishing the earth, while this person seemed oblivious to the horrific scars on his body. He was simply fleeing for his life, as if a terrifying monster that devoured people was chasing him from behind.
Heavy breaths echoed continuously, and at this moment, Wen Yu's chest seemed to heave like a bellows. Suddenly, wails from his colleagues came through the tactical headset.
"Ah! Ahhh!!! No! No! Help me! Who can come to save me!!!"
The chaotic and panicked cries, coupled with some low, beastly whimpering, added a touch of bloodiness to this noisy night.
However, Wen Yu paid no attention to the noise coming from the headset. He yanked it off with one hand and plopped down on the ground, lying back and taking deep breaths, the corners of his mouth slowly lifting into a helpless smile.
"Damn it, I can't run anymore... There's no way to escape..."
Recalling the scene that had just unfolded, Wen Yu felt a twitch at the corner of his mouth, completely speechless.
This mission was to capture a soul master named Ou.
The intelligence was sound—Ou was a soul master with a strength that was indeed only at the mid-level of the seventh rank. However, the strength of the soul master profession couldn't simply be measured by levels.
Some were weaker than regular professionals of the same level, while others were stronger than even high-level limit breakers! And Ou belonged to the freakish category.
All six of this guy's spirit pets were main battle spirit pets! Yes, perhaps calling Ou a summoner would be more appropriate.
Among them, the strongest had the strength of a tenth of a star—this power was completely unsolvable for peak-level eighth rank professionals.
Naturally, the imperial guards suffered a terrible defeat...
The captain and vice-captain saw the situation was dire and directly fled, and Wen Yu also exited the fight at the first opportunity, intending to save his own life. However, Ou relentlessly pursued, hunting down the imperial guards one by one like a cat chasing a mouse.
Until now...
The ground suddenly trembled, and Wen Yu's ears twitched briefly as if sensing something strange underground. His body instinctively sat up, but after thinking for a moment, he collapsed back down.
There was no need...
There was simply no need to struggle.
Wen Yu's combat experience ensured that he could make an absolutely accurate judgment—given his current physical condition, there was no hope of escaping from Ou's pursuit.
In that case, what was the point of struggling...
Wen Yu thought, just as the ground beneath him suddenly cracked open, a massive mouth nearly ten meters wide rising from below and swallowing Wen Yu whole!
Crushed and ground down, in a short span of time, Wen Yu became nutrients for the giant beast.
At the same moment, Wen Yu felt his consciousness fading, and the next moment, he reappeared in the collective dormitory.
...
"Yu? Yu? Wake up... it's time for morning exercises..."
A familiar scene, familiar people; it was still the same camp where Yu had chosen the imperial guard as cannon fodder, still the same time node when Wen Yu last awakened.
Everything started over, and Wen Yu simply sat on the bed, first checking his body’s condition— the strengthening effect of Purple Mist was good, without any changes after Wen Yu had died once.
That was enough...
Having confirmed that death came with no consequences, Wen Yu completely relaxed. He followed the line out of the dormitory and began the daily routine of morning exercises.
Until three days later...
"In ten minutes, a big shot will come here..."
Watching the class leader speak in front, Wen Yu kept his gaze straight ahead, but deep down, he spoke the class leader's words before they were spoken.
Identical...
There were no changes at all.
As Yu's vehicle slowly entered the military camp, under the watchful eyes of many soldiers, the tall figure of Yu stepped out of the car. She first delivered a speech from the podium and then began selecting her imperial guards.
