The howling wind and torrential rain created a chaotic scene.
At the same time and in the same place, it was a different group of people...
The ten-member imperial guard lined up, staring at the bright red dot on the tactical display screen. Wen Yu was the first to speak.
“The target has been located. All teams, commence action!”
“And remember, stay safe.”
Upon hearing Wen Yu's words, the remaining nine members showed serious expressions. Even though it was ten against one, the opponent was a mid-level seventh-tier individual. However, as seasoned professionals, none of them would underestimate the enemy.
Under the arrangement of the team vice-captain, the nine members drew their weapons and crept forward, quickly advancing toward the distance. Wen Yu, on the other hand, simply scanned his surroundings and soon found a small hill.
The small hill was just a low slope, only about twenty meters high. In a world where everyone was a superhuman, such slopes hardly counted as obstacles. Nonetheless, from beginning to end, Wen Yu never considered using any geographic advantages.
Soul masters represent versatility; even a mid-level summoner soul master possesses combat capabilities that can ignore most terrains. As a soul master, Wen Yu understood that to hunt one, one could only rely on absolute power to crush them.
This pursuit was a contest of open confrontation!
...
The black tactical glasses perched on Wen Yu's nose provided him with a long-range and night vision perspective. He could see in the distance that his team had already begun to encircle Ou.
Further out, there was a small hillock that seemed to be pulsating.
The 10-meter high hillock was curled up like a stubborn boulder. Two thick columns of white smoke continuously spewed from its right side. As the team got closer, they realized this was not a hillock but a terrifying beast coiled up, resembling a mountain.
“Captain, Ou's first spirit pet has been spotted; it seems to be an armored rock dragon.”
A team member's voice came through the headset. Once he finished speaking, the vice-captain couldn't help but curse with a laugh.
“What do you mean 'it seems'? That is an armored rock dragon... But how should we deal with it, Captain?”
It was understandable for the vice-captain to ask, as the characteristics of the armored rock dragon were rather peculiar.
The armored rock dragon had a name that sounded imposing and a terrifying appearance, yet its essence was that of a camel beast.
Indeed, just like the cattle and horses of ancient times, it had a vast storage space on its back, with remarkable carrying capacity that was shocking to hear.
This creature was strong in defense and had excellent defensive capabilities, but correspondingly, its temperament was gentle and it disliked fighting— even when demonic energy invaded and wild beasts mutated, the armored rock dragon still maintained a nonchalant demeanor...
However, the experiences from the previous life were fresh in Wen Yu's mind.
Ou was hiding within the armored rock dragon's body, and this armored rock dragon had been trained by Ou into a terrifying heavy tank. In the previous life, the vice-captain underestimated this seven-tier armored rock dragon. When the ten-member team approached, the armored rock dragon simply swung its tail, clearing five members from the field.
What remained was a brutal chase until Wen Yu was swallowed whole by the beast's belly.
Memories surged in his mind, and Wen Yu let out a light hum, before issuing the order.
“Stand by.”
After saying this, Wen Yu's right hand brushed against his waist and slowly found the Spatial Item.
...
Inside the armored rock dragon's back cavity, it was warm.
Despite the torrential rain outside, the back cavity of the armored rock dragon was like a cozy little house, shielding Ou from the storm.
At this moment, the light inside the cavity was dim, and Ou was comfortably sleeping in the center.
Indeed, he still had not realized that he was being hunted by a sequence from the future of the Mossley Great World, nor had he noticed the approaching nine-member imperial guard. This was not due to a lack of vigilance, but rather because he firmly believed in the armored rock dragon's defensive capabilities.
