Chapter 517: The Whole Squad in Shock
Thinking of this.
Ghost Yikou coldly glanced at the human figure standing midair against the backdrop of the sky.
This figure constantly emitted a delicious scent, causing Ghost Yikou's large mouth to continuously drool a thick, foul-smelling saliva.
However, its reason told it that this human, who could casually unleash such a wide-scale AOE magical attack, was absolutely no ordinary strongman.
Unusual circumstances always harbor anomalies.
It would not be like those other useless fools without vision, continuing to fight to the death against a powerful and mysterious opponent.
Such idiots only existed in human television and movies.
It wanted to devour this human.
But it also understood that it could not devour the opponent, and might even end up being killed by him.
Was it looking down on itself?
No.
This was simply knowing when to yield.
Don't think that just because it was a ghost, it lacked intelligence!
Quite the opposite.
The lower-ranked the ground ghost general, the more cowardly and fearful for their lives they were.
Because they knew that in this forbidden ground of Takamagahara, they were practically nothing.
Only those powerful sky ghost generals had the right to be arrogant.
A second passed, and the pensive Ghost Yikou finally turned without hesitation, ordering dozens of elite ghost generals to retreat with it.
Leave this mysterious man, for now!
Those dozens of elite ghost generals were more than happy to finally receive the order to retreat.
As for the hundreds of thousands of ghost slaves stationed here…
Sorry.
If there was anything Takamagahara's forbidden land wasn't lacking, it was these throwaway ghost slaves at levels forty to fifty or fifty to sixty.
And the sky ghost general with the title of 'Mother of a Hundred Ghosts' birthed countless ghost slaves every day.
The duty of that sky ghost general every day…
Well, those who understand, understand.
As long as the Mother of a Hundred Ghosts did not die, an endless number of ghost slaves would be born.
Whoosh!!
Ghost Yikou and the dozens of elite ghost generals, who fled at lightning speed, immediately used their spatial skills to teleport instantly to a location outside the northwest region of Hakata City.
"Damn human!"
"Not playing by the rules!"
An elite ghost general couldn't help but curse in the obscure Hundred Ghosts language.
According to the script.
They were supposed to be on the offensive, and that human should be struggling to protect the spatial relay station from being destroyed.
Originally, their purpose in stationing here was to disperse the military forces of various nations.
At the same time, it was best if they could have some juicy prey come along, allowing them, the ghosts, to feast.
People did come, eventually.
But who would have thought that an unbelievably monstrous non-specialist would show up!
That would have been acceptable.
But the key point was that the opponent didn't care at all if the spatial relay station was destroyed!
He directly used an ultimate skill, one so overwhelming it even made them sweat, intending to wipe them out completely!
Those fireballs, judging by their power, were already on par with an A+ ranked Starflame Explosion.
However…
Judging by their effect, they were even more terrifying than Starflame Explosion!!
Because on the severed ghost slave limbs falling from the sky, they could see all sorts of effects.
Especially that eerie black flame, which had no heat yet made one's heart race!
Of course…
These weren't the real reasons they chose to retreat.
The reason they retreated was because they saw the expression of 'ease' on that human's face.
He merely raised his hand, lifted his staff, and tens of thousands of fireballs formed like small suns. The key point was that he didn't seem to expend any energy at all!
How could they fight that?
Since when did the Hundred Ghosts Fortress have such a monstrous character?
And he looked so young!
If they didn't run now, when would they?
"The northwest district is going to be ruined..."
Ghost Yikou slowly turned its head, looking towards the distant northwest district, the old face on its forehead slowly speaking.
Dozens of elite ghost generals turned their heads solemnly to look.
However.
In the next second.
Whoosh!!
All the fireballs over the northwest district suddenly vanished!!
The originally crimson sky, scorched by the fireballs, instantly darkened!
"This..."
Ghost Yikou and the dozens of elite ghost generals were completely dumbfounded by what they saw!
What kind of trick was this?
What the heck!?
"We've been tricked!!"
"That human never intended to destroy the spatial relay station from the beginning!"
"He purposely acted indifferent, making us give up guarding the spatial relay station!"
"Damn it!"
"We must go back immediately!"
Ghost Yikou immediately realized this, and its eerie old face instantly turned extremely dark!
The dozens of elite ghost generals were stunned upon hearing this!
However.
Before they could turn back.
Buzz!!
A dazzling white light and an extremely intense spatial fluctuation surged up from the direction of the northwest district!
"What!!"
This time.
Ghost Yikou and those elite ghost generals were utterly flabbergasted!!
They weren't alone.
Even the members of the reserve squads, who were rescuing innocent civilians, were dumbstruck at the sight of the intense spatial fluctuations rising once again in the northwest district!
"This..."
This familiar spatial fluctuation…
It was clearly proof that the spatial relay station had been restored!
But…
Wasn't that too fast!!
Wasn't it said that the ghost nest had a significant force stationed there?
Wasn't it said that the spatial relay station was completely scrapped, and repairing it would take at least two hours?
How had only a few minutes passed before the spatial relay station was already functional again?
And far away, in the Hundred Ghosts Fortress, thousands of miles away.
The various national military high-ranking officials, who were gathered in a conference room and seriously examining the battle reports, were suddenly interrupted by the sound of hurried footsteps.
Turning their heads, they saw a lieutenant of General Li rushing in.
"What's wrong?"
General Li, seeing his subordinate's anxious expression, immediately felt a sense of foreboding.
Could it be that there was more bad news from Hakata City?
It wasn't just General Li.
All the generals present couldn't help but look towards the lieutenant, their hearts in their throats.
However.
The next second, the words that came out of the lieutenant's mouth left all the high-ranking military officials completely stunned!
"General Li, it's good news!"
"The reserve squads have successfully regained control of the spatial relay station, and have preliminarily restored seven spatial relay channels. These seven channels are now operational, and we can immediately send reinforcements!"
The moment these words fell.
Wow!!
Even these battle-hardened generals couldn't help but stand up from their seats with a change of expression!
General Li was no exception.
"What did you say? The spatial relay station in Hakata City has already been restored?"
General Li stared wide-eyed at his lieutenant.
"General! Absolutely true!"
"The spatial relay area on our side has already resumed normal operation!"
The lieutenant said excitedly.
Hiss!
The generals from all the countries couldn't help but take a deep breath upon hearing this.
What on earth?
The mission was completed in less than half an hour?
Excluding the time for gathering and traveling, this task, which was deemed S-level difficulty, was actually completed in less than ten minutes!?
This…
