"Without a doubt."

"If she wasn't a supernatural being, how could she possibly use supernatural abilities within the Crimson Corridor?"

Some people also passed the information out.

"Turan Yulanka Keyi's identity has been confirmed, ruling out the possibility of her being abnormal, but she is suspected of awakening extraordinary skills, which is a rare case of ancestral atavism."

"receive."

Mingxi had anticipated the 'audience's' reaction; she was currently looking at the map of the Crimson Corridor with Verina.

How do we find other special prey?

Verina looked at Mingxi, whose face was calm, with curiosity.

Mingxi looked at the map displayed on the terminal and said, "Let's check these three coordinates first."

Verina asked curiously, "Is there anything special about these three coordinates?"

"Nothing special, I just thought it looked nice, so I went to try my luck."

Verina: "..."

Do you even realize how willful you are?

"I'm hungry, let's look for supplies first."

They've been in the Crimson Corridor for three hours and haven't eaten anything yet; the young lady is hungry.

After all, they are our employers and partners, so naturally we have to pamper them.

The two set off again, heading towards area D2.

As they searched for their special prey, the red indicator lights of the hidden cameras flashed three times before going out.

In the control room, Nisel Margaret stared at the screen that had suddenly turned into static, her brow furrowed, and looked at the technician in front of the control panel.

"What happened?"

"Some cameras in areas D2, D3, C1, and B3 are malfunctioning."

The technician reported, "It's probably because the newly built energy circuit is affecting the monitoring lines."

"What about the views from other angles?"

Nisel asked.

"For now, only the lines in these four areas are experiencing problems. Other areas are fine, Madam. We have already sent people to inspect and repair them, but it will take some time."

Nisel leaned back in her seat, tapping her fingers on the armrest.

The veiled woman beside her stared intently at a frozen image on a surveillance camera: a stunningly handsome man drawing a bow and shooting his prey, his exquisitely flawless profile, his elegant and perfect lines, and his deep, unfathomable eyes.

What a handsome man, possessing both divine spirit and physical appearance.

Is this the Turanjuran card that her dear sister bought at the auction?

Verina's taste is still as good as ever.

And their luck is always so good.

Special physical condition.

Father's doting love.

A life of unbridled indulgence.

Now she has such a handsome and powerful man to protect her.

Despite being a lowly illegitimate child, her life is better than that of a pampered young lady!

"...Mother, I want him."

Hearing her daughter's words, Nisel was somewhat surprised. Ever since Lily's mouth was torn apart in public by that bitch Verina, she had rarely spoken for a whole month.

She also wore a veil.

Her injury was clearly healed on the very first day.

"Okay! Mom will definitely get him for you. Whatever my baby wants, Mom will get it for you."

"But he's too dangerous right now, we need to take good care of him."

"The Turan people..." she murmured to herself, "A hybrid of humans and extraordinary beings, a kind of atavistic existence, actually awakened extraordinary skills... Such talent..."

She dialed a number and said, "Notify the doctor to send him a test subject later."

Nisel's gaze shifted back to a screen—the real-time coordinates of Verina and Mingxi.

Mingxi had no idea that a cute little guy had taken a liking to her body.

She led Verina to search for a lot of supplies, mainly replenishing her quiver in addition to food.

Zone D2 is a cluster of abandoned culture chambers, resembling a giant metal tomb.

Dozens of cylindrical culture chambers lay scattered on the ground, most of them broken, with dried, viscous liquid flowing out.

The air was filled with the mixed smell of formaldehyde and rotting flesh.

Some of the hulls still contain blurry, twisted remains of living organisms.

As soon as Mingxi and her companion entered the area, they sensed something was amiss.

It's so quiet here.

There were no roars of mutated creatures, no sound of wind, and even the sound of fluorescent moss spores fluttering could be clearly heard.

There's an ambush.

Mingxi said in a low voice, already holding the bow and arrow in her hand.

No sooner had the words been spoken than three figures suddenly sprang out from behind a tilted incubation chamber on the left!

It wasn't a special prey, but rather another hunter.

Two men and one woman, all dressed in matching dark green combat uniforms with sword and shield emblems on their chests.

This is a mercenary group called the Iron Oath Mercenary Group on the planet Zetalem, a medium-sized force in Zetalem that is affiliated with the Shadow Raven family.

But when they saw Verina, it was like seeing plump, fresh meat.

"Oh, isn't this Miss Yingge? What a coincidence."

The bald man at the head grinned, holding a serrated machete in his hand, "We were just staking out a valuable radioactive scorpion here, but we ended up with an even bigger prey."

His gaze fell on Verina, his greed undisguised: "Oh right, I almost forgot, we've heard from other hunters that you're the hidden prey. Capturing you alive will double the reward, and we've also heard you're a master potion maker, so you must be carrying a lot of good stuff, right?"

Verina sneered: "Are all the people of the Iron Oath this unruly now?"

"Not only do they not bow to the host family members, but they even dare to bare their fangs?"

"Master?"

Another tall, thin man stared at Verina with a strange look in his eyes. Suddenly, he let out a loud sneer, "We'll talk about that when you can walk out of the Crimson Corridor alive. Here, there are only hunters and prey, no masters and servants!"

Mingxi tilted her head.

He glanced at Verina.

It seems like there's something going on between these two?

At this moment, the three men formed a triangular formation and [N O V E L I G H T] flanked the enemy.

Mingxi stepped forward and stood in front of Verina.

"Oh? This pretty toy is going to be a hero saving the damsel in distress?"

The bald man licked his lips.

"Too bad, I'm not interested in men. Get out of my way, or I'll chop you up too."

He had already moved before he finished speaking.

The serrated cleaver whistled through the air as it slashed toward Mingxi's neck with incredible speed and a tricky angle.

Mercenaries are different from ordinary beast tamers; even without relying on their pets, they possess formidable combat power.

These mercenaries are probably at the level of mid- to high-level extraordinary beings.

Mingxi did not dodge.

She simply raised her left hand.

The materialized spiritual power instantly condensed into a golden rhombus-shaped shield in the palm of his hand.

The cleaver struck the shield with a piercing metallic scraping sound, sending sparks flying, but it couldn't advance an inch.

The bald man's expression changed, and he tried to draw his knife and retreat.

It's too late.

An arrow pierced his chest.

The arrow pierced his heart, its attached spiritual energy becoming intertwined with his flesh and blood.

"puff--!"

His mental energy exploded within him like a lit bomb.

The shockwave completely destroyed his heart.

"Bang--!"

The body fell down.

Seeing this, the other two were horrified and immediately changed their target, attacking Verina at the same time!

Mingxi moved again.

Her figure was like a ghost, and the bow and arrow in her hand drew two dark blue arcs in the air.

He deflected the tall, thin man's rapier with a single arrow.

Another arrow repelled the woman's dart attack.

Her movements were concise and efficient, without any unnecessary actions; though it was just an arrow, it seemed to weigh a ton.

Verina wasn't idle either.

She pulled a thin syringe from her waist, flicked off the protective cap with her thumb, and flung it at the female mercenary.

The syringe exploded in mid-air, releasing a pale purple mist.

The female mercenary hurriedly held her breath and retreated, but still inhaled a trace of it.

Her movements immediately became sluggish, and her eyes began to glaze over.

"It's... a nerve-paralyzing drug..."

She spoke with difficulty, then collapsed to the ground.

Seeing that things were not going well, the tall, thin man turned around and tried to escape.

But is Mingxi the kind of person who can allow the enemy to escape?

Draw a bow and shoot an arrow.

The arrow, carrying immense pressure, tore through the wind, becoming the wind itself. It pierced the man's left ear, pinning him to the metal wall behind him.

"No...don't kill me!"

The tall, thin man, his ear pierced by an arrow, trembled as he said, "We were just doing this for money! It was Mrs. Nisel who issued the bounty, ordering us to capture Miss Shadowsong alive. We were just momentarily blinded by greed..."

How much is the reward?

Verina wasn't surprised, but she was really curious, so she asked casually.

"Five million star coins, plus a B-grade item."

Verina laughed: "Is that all I'm worth? My dear mother is so stingy."

She walked over to the man whose ear was nailed shut and pulled a signal flare from his waist.

“Since you want a reward so badly...” Verina stood up and released the safety on the flare gun, “I’ll give you a hand.”

She pulled the trigger towards the sky.

A red signal flare roared into the sky, exploded at the top of the corridor, and turned into a bright red light that continued to flash.

"What are you doing?" Mingxi frowned.

"Distress signal".

Verina threw away the flare gun. "According to the hunting rules, firing a distress signal is considered a forfeiture of participation, but you will receive protection from the rescue team."

However, it comes with a high fee.

Since this good-for-nothing wants to capture me for the reward, I'll make him spend some money; it's just reciprocity.

Mingxi shook her head. "He's much luckier than his two companions because he can buy his life with money."

She figured it out.

These two were indeed having an affair.

Verina clearly wanted to protect the tall, thin man in front of her.

"You and he are old acquaintances?"

Verina knew she couldn't hide it from Mingxi, so she nodded. "He helped me once before."

Mingxi exclaimed, "So there was an affair going on?"

"What are you thinking? How could I possibly be interested in him? I would have to seriously consider even a handsome man like you, let alone him!"

"Really?" Mingxi shook her head. "I think he's not bad. When that bald guy attacked just now, he even tried to secretly help you."

Mingxi's mental energy covered a radius of a hundred miles, so she could naturally see the tall, thin man's actions, which he thought were stealthy.

"Didn't I spare his life now?"

Verina clearly didn't want to talk much about her and the tall, thin man.

Not long after, hurried footsteps could be heard in the distance.

A six-person rescue team quickly approached, all dressed in standard Margaret family gear.

"Who sent the distress signal?" The captain, a serious middle-aged man, glanced around at the surroundings: two corpses and a man pinned to a metal wall by an arrow.

A handsome man and a beautiful woman.

"Him."

Verina pointed at the tall, thin man and said, "Get out of here with him."

At this moment, Mingxi's perception, like a fine net, quickly swept across the entire cluster of incubation chambers.

Found it.

Deep within the cluster, beneath an inverted culture chamber, lies an extremely well-hidden mezzanine space.

There were faint signs of life inside.

It was Gray Falcon, a member of the Golden Radiance Group.

"Miss, we should go now."

Mingxi said in a low voice, while gesturing in a direction with her eyes.

Verina understood and moved deeper into the cultivation chamber.

The rescue team leader watched their retreating figures and pressed his earpiece: "Madam, the target is moving towards area A1."

"Hmm," came Nisel's voice, "Lead Yu Feng over there."

Beneath the inverted culture chamber, in the interlayer space.

The gray falcon huddled in a corner, its body covered in wounds.

His left arm was twisted at an unnatural angle, clearly indicating a fracture.

The purple brand on his forehead kept flashing, and each flash brought a severe headache, making it almost impossible for him to think.

Footsteps could be heard outside.

He gripped the only weapon he could use—a sharp piece of metal.

The footsteps stopped at the entrance to the mezzanine.

Then, he heard a clear voice in his mind: "Lord Grey Falcon, I am Dawn."

The gray falcon was taken aback.

Dawn?

The code name "Dawn"... could it be... the God of Light?

Myojin has arrived!

But how did she do that? Was it telepathy? Extraordinary skill?

"Don't move, and don't show any unusual behavior."

As the captain of Team 2 of the Golden Radiance Group, Grey Falcon quickly calmed down and lay motionless on the ground, showing no abnormality.

The voice in my head continued, "What about the others in Golden Radiance and Silverwing? If they're in the hands of the Descendants, twitch your left little finger; if they're in the Margaret family, twitch your right little finger; if neither, then twitch your right thumb."

The little finger of the gray falcon's right hand twitched.

Is it in the hands of the Margaret family?

"I understand. I will find a way to rescue them. Someone will come to kill you later. Don't be afraid. I will protect your heart meridians. It's just a temporary state of suspended animation."

She certainly couldn't have actually killed them.

She came to rescue people, not to silence them.

The arrows she shot at them were also imbued with spiritual power. As the arrows pierced their hearts, they also broke the bindings on their souls. Before they completely lost their lives, her spiritual power would immediately heal the wounds and seal off their last chance of survival.

But in this state, they are essentially dead.

Since they are dead, they can certainly be placed in the Time Realm.

She then used her mental power to simulate their corpses, and at the right time, she summoned strange beasts and people, so that she could make them disappear silently.

Although this method is a bit complicated and requires a bit of mental energy, it ensures that she will not reveal her true identity.

He descended to lure her into a trap.

Let's see who's the better player.

Moreover, she wasn't fighting alone.

Because of Mingxi's prior notice, Grey Falcon 'died' quite calmly.

"Another special prey, Ke Yi, we've struck it rich!" Verina exclaimed happily.

Mingxi didn't say anything, "It was great, this trip was worthwhile, and it was quite fun."

For the next few hours, Mingxi and her companion moved through the Crimson Corridor like ghosts, 'killing' any special prey they encountered, and depending on Verina's attitude when they met other hunters.
