Divine-level Base-Chapter 66: Mulu Village

Suddenly, a cell phone began to ring.

You Meng frowned slightly, picked up her phone, and said, "Captain, what is it?"

Zhou Yang said, "There’s trouble in Mulu Village in the Jiangbei District. It’s possible a Void Ghost Demon has appeared. You and Shu Feng team up and investigate. I’m authorizing you to use the Tier Three Secret Treasure, the [Purifying Spirit Ruyi]!"

You Meng’s brow furrowed. "Just me and Shu Feng? Isn’t that too few people?"

In a third or fourth-tier city like Lei Jiang City, traces of Void Demons were rare. Whenever one did appear, the Guardian Flame would dispatch a three-to-four-person squad to handle the problem.

You Meng and Shu Feng were both Spirit Warrior Level Spiritualists. If the two of them encountered a powerful Void Demon, it would be extremely dangerous.

Zhou Yang said, "Don’t worry, You Meng. Shu Feng is very strong! Besides, we’re short-staffed right now. Something has come up in the Jiangnan District that I have to handle personally. I’m counting on you two for Mulu Village. Be careful. If anything seems off, retreat immediately. Your safety comes first."

"Understood, Captain!"

You Meng hung up the phone and turned to Shu Feng. "Go get ready. A Ghostly Void Demon has appeared in Mulu Village, and we have to take care of it."

"A Ghostly Void Demon!!"

Zhong Jietong’s beautiful eyes turned red. She clenched her fists, her delicate body trembling slightly.

Zhuo Qianlei’s eyes lit up. She stood and declared, "I want to go with you! Sister You Meng, please let me go with you! I joined the Guardian Flame to help people in need!"

"No! You’re too weak! According to the Guardian Flame’s rules, we don’t take anyone on missions without a Spirit Warrior’s cultivation. Void Demons, especially Ghostly Void Demons, are masters of Illusion Techniques. They can manipulate and distort a person’s five senses. Without reaching the Spirit Warrior Level and having special Extraordinary Equipment, you’d just be a burden on the battlefield."

"So, you will stay here and train obediently! Once you advance to Spirit Warrior, you’ll have your chance to go on missions with us."

You Meng sternly rebuked Zhuo Qianlei, then asked Shu Feng in a brisk, professional manner, "Shu Feng, how much time do you need to prepare?"

The Spiritualists of the Guardian Flame placed great importance on their gear. A Spiritualist without equipment would have their strength reduced by more than half. It was completely normal to prepare one’s equipment before heading into battle.

Shu Feng said, "Ten minutes!"

You Meng said, "See you at the exit of Beiling Street in twenty minutes!"

「Twenty minutes later, at the exit of Beiling Street.」

You Meng walked over to Shu Feng, clad in a suit of silver-white full body armor with a unicorn emblem engraved on the center of the chest. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"[Unicorn’s Armor]! Sister You Meng, you’re amazing! You actually managed to get ahold of this suit of Extraordinary Armor!!"

Shu Feng’s eyes lit up as he exclaimed in admiration.

The [Unicorn’s Armor] was a suit of Tier Two Extraordinary Armor, costing a steep 400 million yuan and 4,000 Contribution Points. It possessed three Enchantments: Acceleration, Defense Enhancement, and All Resistances +2.

Even the [Black Crow], loaded with Armor-Piercing Bullets, would need to hit the same spot three times to penetrate the [Unicorn’s Armor]’s Defense. And with You Meng’s Spirit Shield Technique protecting her, her defense was even more terrifying.

You Meng wore a pained expression. "Buying this armor completely wiped out all my savings from over the years! Money really disappears fast!"

Shu Feng agreed with a sigh, "Yeah, it really does."

Shu Feng had sold his gold bars for a total of 900 million yuan, and in less than a month, he had spent every last bit of it. If he hadn’t had those two jars of Seven-Colored Honey, he never would have been able to start his company.

You Meng asked, "How much of a stake in the new company are you planning to give me?"

Shu Feng said, "One percent!"

You Meng flew into a rage, waving her arms about. "That’s it? You obviously gave Ma Jin three percent. Are you looking down on me?"

Shu Feng rolled his eyes at her. "Ma Jin gave me a 20 million yuan discount before. It’s only natural that I return the favor."

"No way! I want two percent! Shu Feng, I’m seriously broke right now. How about this? I’ll invest one million in your new company for an extra one percent stake."

"My new company will have an annual output worth billions in the future. You want to buy a one percent stake for a million? Heh, you’re dreaming."

Outside Mulu Village in the Jiangbei District, police cars were parked one after another, and long lines of yellow tape had been stretched out, blocking all roads leading into the urban village.

"Sister Tian Tian, should we really go in? The police have already cordoned everything off. Let’s just go back!!"

A slender young man with delicate features whispered in a small alleyway to a beautiful woman. She had fair skin, large eyes, an oval-shaped face, and was wearing exquisite makeup.

Guo Tiantian shot the young man a look, chiding him in exasperation, "Are you stupid? The police blocking this place off means there’s a big story here. If we can get the exclusive on whatever the government is trying to cover up, we’ll get recognized by the higher-ups, get promoted, get a raise, and become top reporters! We’ll never have to take crap from anyone again."

With that, Guo Tiantian skillfully used a dumpster to vault over a wall and into Mulu Village.

Zhao Tie hesitated for a moment, then clenched his jaw, and also used the dumpster to climb over the wall into Mulu Village.

Guo Tiantian’s eyes lit up. "Look, someone’s coming in! So young! There’s definitely a conspiracy afoot!"

At the entrance to Mulu Village, an exceptionally handsome young man and a stunningly beautiful woman in silver armor—who exuded a powerful, commanding aura—walked straight past the police and stepped into Mulu Village.

You Meng chuckled lightly. "Alright, Shu Feng, let me see what you can do! You were able to destroy a Void Demon Gate while dealing with a Parasitic Spider Demon, so I have high expectations for your Ability. Don’t disappoint me!"

"Don’t worry. My Ability definitely won’t disappoint you!"

Shu Feng smiled faintly. He spread his hands, a devout expression on his face as he chanted, "Great Beast Dominator, your most faithful believer beseeches you! Please grant me a beast of protection to ensure my safety."

A faint ripple flashed through the air, and the King of Goblins appeared beside Shu Feng, clad in black Full Body Armor and holding a Giant Axe in one hand and a Giant Shield in the other. Along with it, ten Spirit Warrior Level Black Dog Illusion Demons also materialized.

You Meng’s eyes lit up with excitement. "The King of Goblins!! The pinnacle of evolution for Goblin Element monsters, a Spirit Master Level monster! So this is your Ability! It’s too strong!! No wonder you were able to destroy the Void Demon Gate. An Ability like this should be considered Earth-level Upper Grade."

Shu Feng asked curiously, "Earth-level Upper Grade? My Ability is this strong and it’s still not Celestial Level?"

You Meng chuckled. "Of course not! Heavenly-level Spiritual Abilities are all bizarre and powerful to the extreme. Even without reaching the Spirit Saint Realm, those Heaven-level Spirit Ability Users possess the Power to threaten a Spirit Saint. Like Spirit Saints, every one of them is a walking strategic weapon. Your Ability is powerful, but it’s still a far cry from a true Heaven-level Spirit Ability User!"
