Baby with Daoist Monarch System-Chapter 461 - 173: Next Victim, Please! (Part 2)

At this moment, the Cangying City Lord, wearing a worried expression, gazed into the distance at the dissipating pollution with great concern.

The direction he looked at was precisely where the Mushroom City had just been destroyed by the Miracle Team.

"Have you found out what happened to Mushroom City?" the Cangying City Lord asked.

Soon after, a white sparrow appeared, "City Lord, when I arrived, all the creatures within Mushroom City were dead, not a single one spared!"

"All the ritual altars were completely destroyed, and the pollution scattered!"

The sparrow was the best at stealth techniques in Cangying City, as well as the fastest creature, similar to the rat monsters, both serving as scouts.

Upon hearing this, the Cangying City Lord furrowed his brows, "Alright, you may go!"

Once the door closed, he began to mutter to himself.

"What exactly happened to Mushroom City, even the City Lord who could continuously be revived was slaughtered, and all the altars were destroyed, even the pollution scattered?"

No matter how he thought about it, something seemed off to the Cangying City Lord.

The altars were the lifelines of a city within the catastrophe-level contamination zone; everything was built upon the altars.

It was precisely due to the existence of the altars that the City Lord’s cultivation advanced so rapidly.

The most crucial thing was that the existence of the altars allowed the City Lord to be revived until the energy of the altar was completely depleted.

But accumulation over several million years, how could it deplete so quickly?

He couldn’t figure it out.

"Although I don’t know what’s going on, being prepared for everything is the best course of action!"

Immediately, a secret order was issued.

[Strengthen patrols within Cangying City, activate the defense array].

Its long life forced it to proceed cautiously.

The cultivation of the Mushroom City Lord was only slightly worse than his.

With 25 million Qi Blood cultivation, it was insufficient for a complete sense of security, so he could only make all defensive preparations.

...

Soon, two days passed.

The Miracle Team emerged from the cave.

"Well, during these two days, did you find the Time Gems and Space Gems?" Xu Ran asked as he looked at the round dragon fluttering its little wings in the air.

"Yes! Found them!" replied Round Dragon.

During the two days of rest, Xu Ran had let Round Dragon familiarize itself with Zhu Yuheng’s power of time and Tiger Girl’s power of space, allowing it to search for treasures with similar auras in the catastrophe-level contamination zone.

A treasure that matches both auras is likely the Time Gem and Space Gem.

Even if it’s not the two gems, it’s still a treasure that can be used by the two people, so how could it be a loss!

Upon hearing Round Dragon’s words, Tiger Girl immediately said, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up!"

"Think clearly, that place activated the defense array two days ago, obviously prepared for you, so going there might be dangerous!" Round Dragon warned.

"Moreover, that place is a floating city, making you more likely to be detected!"

As soon as Xu Ran heard this, he immediately understood.

The large number of defense techniques appearing two days ago.

Obviously, it was because they had just destroyed Mushroom City, leading to increased defensive measures.

Such a significant event, perhaps all the cities within the catastrophe-level contamination zone knew about it.

Thinking for a while, Xu Ran decided, "Let’s go; why shouldn’t we?"

"Originally, we set out to gain experience, how could we give up because of difficulties!"

"Furthermore, this situation will be even more helpful for practicing Invisibility Skill, especially in a floating city!"

Tiger Girl agreed, "Let’s go, I want to get the Space Gem."

Tiger Girl had long desired the Space Gem, and now that she finally saw hope, how could she give up?

"Agree!"

"Agree!"

"Agree!"

"Agree!"

The other four people also agreed with Xu Ran’s decision.

Immediately, everyone practiced Invisibility Skill and, guided by Round Dragon, headed to the new city.

...

Meanwhile, at Cangying City.

Cangying Fortress.

The Cangying City Lord sat on the throne, his worried expression more intense than two days ago.

Worriedly, he gazed forward, "For the past two days, my heart has been involuntarily restless!"

"I keep feeling that something big is about to happen on the Exotic Star side!"

"Ha!"

Thinking about this, the Cangying City Lord couldn’t help but chuckle.

"How could anything happen on the Exotic Star, with a supreme being overseeing it, techniques unknowably mysterious, nothing could happen!"

Amidst contemplation, a gust of wind blew by.

"Hmm?"

Instantly, the Cangying wings unfolded, protecting itself.

Immediately, a potent force of impact struck.

"Crack~"

The sound of bones fracturing rang out, the divine-level Cangying experienced waves of pain.

"The reaction is quite quick!"

A female voice emerged.

The divine-level Cangying spread its wings, a tall human stood before him.

The visitor was Tiger Girl, her face carried a slightly incredulous expression.

Her Invisibility Skill was guided by Xu Ran; in the previous city, when confronting a divine-level centipede, even if standing right in front of it, she remained undetected.

Yet here, her Invisibility Skill was discovered, and the attack was guarded against.

Likewise, the divine-level Cangying was equally shocked.

He couldn’t comprehend how a human silently appeared inside Cangying Fortress.

More so when the entire Cangying City was floating, three days ago, intensifying the city’s defenses.

A human managed to silently enter, standing right before him, undetectable except for a faint wind’s presence.

"Who are you?" asked the divine-level Cangying.

Finished speaking, divine sense began to perceive Tiger Girl.

Unperceivable shock ensued.

The human silently entered Cangying Fortress, delivering a painful punch to its iron-hard wings.

Her mere 3 million Qi Blood signifies a weak Yue Realm human!

How is such cultivation able to achieve all this?

"How is it possible?" exclaimed instantly.

Her stealth techniques were equally outstanding.

If not for her punches possessing strength, causing a subtle wind, and it being a raptor, with divine-level sensitivity to wind, it wouldn’t have detected.

Tiger Girl clenched her fist, "Nothing is impossible!"

"Now that you’ve discovered me, I’m leaving, next time, you won’t detect me again!"

Immediately under his eyes, Tiger Girl’s figure vanished, her aura dissipating.

And the divine-level Cangying remained standing dazedly, everything that just happened seeming like an illusion, but the aching wings were truly real.

After a while, he regained his senses.

Suddenly, it pondered the destruction of Mushroom City, "Could it be that Mushroom City was destroyed by humans?"

...

Meanwhile, retreating Tiger Girl returned to the opened cavern, her face somewhat vexed.

Seeing Tiger Girl’s expression, Xu Ran asked, "What’s wrong? Did the ambush fail?"

Tiger Girl nodded, "Yes!"

"Explain the details?" Xu Ran asked.

Then, Tiger Girl told everything to Xu Ran.

Xu Ran, upon hearing, bowed his head to contemplate, simulating Tiger Girl’s narrated scene in his mind.

Five minutes later, Xu Ran looked up.

Seeing this, Tiger Girl asked, "Bro, did you find the problem?"

"Yes!" Xu Ran explained, "According to your description, the divine-level above is a Cangying, and as a raptor elite, it’s extremely sensitive to wind."

"Therefore, I speculate you were detected because the punch was too powerful, generating a wind unnoticed by ordinary people!"

"And due to divine-level Cangying’s years of flight, coupled with its divine-level perception, it was able to react at the very moment before the attack hit!"

Simultaneously, Tiger Girl recalled her ambush scene.

At the moment of punch, indeed several strands of hair were blown upwards, immediately applauding.

"Bro, you’re amazing! You discovered even that!"

"I just reflected, during the punch, indeed there were several strands of hair flying!"

Other team members likewise praised.

"The captain’s mind is truly a precision-working machine, able to spot details even like this!"

"Captain, your analytical skills are phenomenal!"

"This is the Comprehension Root Bone constantly praised by the director!"

"Little Xu can still spot things ordinary people would overlook!"

Xu Ran pressed his hands down, "In your following Invisibility Skill practices, pay attention to sense the flow of wind, synchronize with the wind, thus reducing detection risks!"

"Synchronize with the wind?"
