Chapter 511: Chapter 512: The Infiltrator_1

Everyone had been waiting for quite a while, Yao Yin growing somewhat impatient, Hua Yiyou was researching the habits of the Poison Mush while keeping an eye on the surroundings, Mo Li was whispering something to Mo Ling, Guo Huai, bored from waiting, had patrolled the area a few times, and Feng Yuan glanced at Yao Yin, saying

"It should start soon; haven’t you sensed it?"

"Sensed what?"

Yao Yin was somewhat puzzled; within the range of her Divine Sense, nothing unusual had appeared. Seeing Yao Yin’s genuinely perplexed expression, Feng Yuan tapped Xiao Ji’s pointed beak and said

"If you can’t sense it, then never mind, it’s probably a matter of different rules."

"Please don’t speak so cryptically..."

Yao Yin glared at Feng Yuan with some dissatisfaction and, stroking Xiao Ji’s head, Feng Yuan said

"The power of Infinite Dreamscape has already begun to descend on this region."

"Infinite Dreamscape?"

"Just think of it as a Secret Realm Space; your place should have this concept, right?"

"Secret Realm Space, huh?"

Yao Yin pondered, and at that moment, strands of purple mist suddenly sprung up around them. Pu Pu, who had always been quietly following Guo Huai, excitedly darted through the purple mist.

"Has it started?"

Feng Yuan put Xiao Ji down and looked at Big Mushroom, who nodded. The next moment, a group of Poison Mush circled around Big Mushroom, protecting it.

Escorted by the Poison Mush, Big Mushroom moved towards a wide clearing. Although the Poison Mush at this time had not created caves like they did in modern times, their preference for shade meant their current habitat was beneath a canopy of tall trees.

Apart from the clearing, the sunlight was blocked out by the dense tree crowns. Through the clearing, you could see the sky glowing with a faint green light, proving that they hadn’t neglected to cover the sky when they laid out their poison mist.

"It’s enough for me to go over; the rest of you... be careful."

After handing Pomiti over to Little Green Snake to take care of, Feng Yuan walked wobbily towards the clearing. Mo Li, puzzled, said

"Don’t you need our help?"

"With him and me, that should be enough; you just need to ensure your own safety. After all, they might not only attack it."

Yao Yin said seriously, holding a Talisman, while Hua Yiyou looked around vigilantly. After thinking for a moment, he pulled Mo Li and the others under a giant tree, advising them to lean against the massive trunk. It was so thick that even two people embracing it might not be able to wrap their arms around it. Hua Yiyou also sensed a faint flow of Wood Power within the tree.

The presence of Wood Power would make it exceedingly difficult for offensive moves to penetrate the tree. A Guard that had been standing by was also called back by Hua Yiyou to stay vigilant around Mo Li. Mo Ling clasped her hands together and quietly prayed. Without the Hundred Flowers Demon by her side, her martial skills were decent, but she was no match for soldiers possessing the power of a Spirit Beast.

The purple mist grew denser, and strange Illusions started to appear around them. The Tribespeople they had rescued cowered together, fearfully watching the spectacle, oblivious to the fact that several of their number were eyeing the clearing with cold intent.

"Really... how unprofessional."

Feng Yuan commented in a resigned tone. In the next moment, several daggers flew out, accurately striking those who emerged from the group of Tribespeople; those men looked in disbelief at the daggers embedded up to the hilt in their bodies, their swords slipping from their grasp.

"Don’t worry; they’re just spies. They exist everywhere. Just stay put and don’t do anything that might cause a misunderstanding."

Noticing how the Poison Mush were warily watching the group of Tribespeople, making them even more scared, Feng Yuan felt somewhat helpless, as it was impossible for him to send them out now. Even if he did, the outside was full of Great Yan soldiers. Unless he sent them even further away, it would be safer to keep them on Poison Mush’s territory for the time being.

Hua Yiyou quickly reassured the Tribespeople after giving Mo Li a few simple instructions. Yao Yin, observing their surroundings, said

"Looks like he guessed right again..."

With a slight crook of his middle finger, a talisman appeared, and tiny sparks flickered among the trees, and moments later, the sparks exploded into a blaze that covered the entire forest sky.

Feng Yuan just glanced at the flames spreading across the sky and paid them no more attention, while the Poison Mushs at his side let out warning cries at Yao Yin. However, it wasn’t long before several figures were scorched out of the flames.

Dusting off the lingering Starfire from his body, a man in a deep blue outfit gave Yao Yin a look and said,

"I hadn’t expected you to discover us, but don’t you think you travelers are meddling a bit too much?"

"I think what you’re doing is somewhat... disgusting!"

Yao Yin said, and with a forceful wave of her hand, streams of water dragons burst forth from all sides, bombarding the intruders. The intruders dodged the incoming water dragons with agility, some leaping into the air to tread the void and evade the relentless assault. Although the Poison Mushs wanted to attack, the purple mist seemed to suppress the poison fog, preventing it from spreading. Other poison-based offensive ultimate moves mostly required precise aiming.

The Poison Mushs couldn’t accurately target the constantly dodging enemies. After several poison arrows corroded the surrounding trees, the Poison Mushs had to give up attacking and take on a defensive stance, clustering together.

Seeing Yao Yin handling those people, Feng Yuan thought for a moment and didn’t intervene, instead telling Xiao Ji,

"Use Coming of the Future to protect those Poison Mushs. As long as they are fine, there shouldn’t be any accidents here."

Feng Yuan had already realized that Big Mushroom had basically kept to this path, and the only variable that might bring change was the Poison Mushs. After all, his goal was to protect them. If those people took the opportunity to threaten Big Mushroom with the Poison Mushs, it was hard to say what might happen.

"Isn’t this over yet?!"

Feng Yuan said somewhat angrily. Then, turning around, he reached forward to grab, and a Shadow Claw quickly spread from his own shadow beneath him toward the Poison Mushs gathering on the side. Suddenly, a sinister claw shadow wreathed in black mist rose from the shadows, as if the ground shadow were the claw’s shadow itself.

The raised claw grabbed out of thin air, causing a twist in space, and a man dressed in black was pulled out of the void by the claw.

(What kind of ultimate move is that?!)

Guo Huai watched Feng Yuan’s claw shadow attack with envy and asked his system. After a while, the system responded,

『Ding~ Ghost Series ultimate move, Shadow Claw』

(That doesn’t seem right. I’ve seen Shadow Claw before, and it’s just a small black claw appearing out of nowhere. How can it be as cool as this one?)

『Ding~ This is a special effect formed under the interference of Infinite Dreamscape.』

『Ding~ Most Ghost Series ultimate moves will undergo special morphological changes within the interference area of Infinite Dreamscape.』

Hearing the system’s explanation, Guo Huai watched enviously as Feng Yuan launched attacks using shadows. When Feng Yuan summoned several all-black shadow clones, Guo Huai’s envy peaked.

As more infiltrators were being caught, although Yao Yin stopped many, many still broke through her blockade. Shadow Feng Yuan, emitting black mist, stood between the infiltrators and the Poison Mushs and launched attacks at them.

Shadow Feng Yuan appeared to have no magical abilities, simply wielding a shadow longsword to slash at the infiltrators continuously. Feng Yuan walked over slowly, looking at the men with a smile and said,

"Too weak~"

The next moment, Feng Yuan suddenly slapped the ground, and the shadows beneath those men suddenly enlarged. Several Shadow Claws surged out from the shadows to grab the infiltrators. The shadows morphed continuously in Feng Yuan’s hands, employing various eerie attack methods in tandem with the omnipresent shadows, causing the infiltrators to run raggedly.

"Stop it!"

At that moment, a man’s bellow drew everyone’s attention. They saw a man wearing the robe of the Great Yan, standing beside a blue Big Turtle among the Tribespeople, glaring viciously at Feng Yuan and his companions. Unknown to the Tribespeople, Ice Blades hovered near the Tribespeople’s necks as they were being immobilized by ice.

"All of you back off! Or else don’t blame me for being impolite!"

Looking at the man’s fierce demeanor and upon hearing the commotion, Feng Yuan smiled slightly and, to the surprise of Guo Huai and the others, took a few steps back.
