Chapter 867: Chapter 868: Special Weapons

"Cotton, withdraw the fog!"

Seeing that the fog had not hindered effects but instead made the light weapons into area-damaging weapons, Dou Yanlan quickly changed strategies, and Qi Chen, somewhat puzzled, asked Feng Yuan behind him,

"Why doesn’t your fog create refraction and penetration?"

"Are you kidding me? The Death Fog itself can corrode anything from the Yang World that passes through it. The light, being from the Yang World, would be corroded directly by the Death Fog. How could it then refract?"

"Or rather, even if refraction occurred, within the Death Fog, light loses over ninety percent of its energy with each segment it travels through. What do you think it could refract?"

Feng Yuan, somewhat speechless, said that the opponent’s light weapons could indeed be countered with fog-based ultimate moves, as long as they caused additional energy loss to the light. Whether it was the Death Fog or the Dark Mist, it didn’t matter all that much; although the Dark Mist’s efficiency might not be as high as the Death Fog’s, which was over fifty percent, those things wouldn’t achieve much even if they could trigger refraction—they would be depleted after only a few steps.

"That makes sense, shame Cotton doesn’t know any other fog ultimate moves,"

Dou Yanlan said regretfully. She hadn’t anticipated that different fogs could have different uses and had only taught Cotton the relatively easy and more widely applicable Netherworld Fog.

"If you could add something, mixing corrosive or light-swallowing moves into the Netherworld Fog could counter those light weapons, but that might be difficult for Cotton."

Upon hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Cotton glared at Feng Yuan, seeming somewhat angry. Xiao Ji flapped its wings and chirped at Feng Yuan several times; Agunas translated,

"It wants to take the initiative to fight, believing those weapons won’t affect it."

"Suit yourself, ask Qi Chen and the others; I’m not joining the fight."

Feng Yuan said indifferently; those weapons couldn’t do much to Xiao Ji. Although it might get hurt, Feng Yuan wasn’t worried. At most, he would just treat Xiao Ji afterwards. He couldn’t truly treat it as just a pet, protecting it from any danger, right?

"How do you plan to deal with them?"

Dou Yanlan looked at Xiao Ji and asked. It wasn’t that she didn’t trust Xiao Ji, but since they were a team now, Xiao Ji couldn’t just confront the enemies alone while the others stood by and watched.

Xiao Ji thought for a moment, shook its head, and chirped a few times. Agunas translated,

"It will go ahead to attract their attention. If what Feng Yuan said is correct, its flames should be able to counter those people’s weapons; then Ah Mu and Cotton can take them down while they’re distracted."

"Leave any alive?"

Upon hearing Dou Yanlan’s inquiry, Xiao Ji nodded. The three people they had previously encountered were instantly killed by Feng Yuan’s Death Fog, even their weapons severely corroded by it.

Xiao Ji knew well, the idea to leave some alive to reveal the location of their hideout was the most important thing—at least from what it had learned from joining the Special Duty Team missions with Feng Yuan for so long, this was the best approach.

After discussing it for a while, Xiao Ji flew up into the sky, letting out an eagle cry and headed towards the enemy’s position. Strands of red light shot up from the ground to the sky, while Xiao Ji, engulfed in pale azure flames, easily dodged those red beams. After a while, seeing the enemy focused entirely on Xiao Ji, Dou Yanlan said to Qi Chen,

"Cover me."

"Okay!"

Cotton meowed and swished its tail. Dou Yanlan and Cotton’s figures gradually disappeared, their presence only hinted at by the crushed grass on the ground; one might wonder if Cotton had used some spatial transfer move.

"This team’s strength is quite weak," Agunas was puzzled, "even if we do not interfere, they may not really succeed. Why is that?"

At this moment, he also noticed something was off about these people’s strength. Despite their weapons causing trouble for Qi Chen and his group, one must not forget that the Domain does not balance the strength of weapons, and the advantage Qi Chen’s team is receiving is not significant. This proves these people are only at the level of ordinary humans, and it seems somewhat unlikely that they could capture Yu Xian’er relying solely on those weapons.

Although there might be weapons specifically aimed at Yu Xian’er, the Special Duty Team is not just for show. At this moment, Feng Yuan could feel Captain Yan and his team outside working to break through the barrier; though it might take some time, it should not be long.

"Are they employing a diversionary tactic? It seems possible, but what I’m more curious about is their weapons."

"How so?"

Agunas was somewhat puzzled as he looked at Feng Yuan, who was squinting at the Hunters now tangled in combat with Xiao Ji and his team. Even though the Hunters’ Spirit Beasts were also involved and their total number was significantly higher than Qi Chen’s group, they were disrupted by Xiao Ji, a member of the Death Series.

If they did not deal with Xiao Ji in the air, they feared the next second they could all perish under the Death Series’ Flame Storm. But targeting Xiao Ji—given his aerial advantage and ability to a certain degree ignore their weapons—not to mention his endless array of Ultimate Moves, made them extremely troubled. They might not be unable to handle it, but one careless slip into some bizarre Ultimate Move could easily leave them vulnerable to a sneak attack from Qi Chen and his team waiting nearby.

Feng Yuan did not expect that Xiao Ji had already learned so many bizarre Ultimate Moves. Although Xiao Ji’s current Ultimate Moves were still primarily straightforward and brute-force attacks, he had learned quite a few control and disruption Ultimate Moves. Moreover, he had gradually mastered the skill of combining moves to form something nearly undetectable, like combining Dark Barrier with Wind Blade to create a meteor-like physical impact—these types of bizarre attacks truly astonished Feng Yuan.

"The weapons they are holding are very special, at least not something that could be made in this world."

"Why? They look quite ordinary to me."

Agunas was confused, while Feng Yuan squinted at the silver-white ray weapons saying,

"Besides Ernis, no one could achieve such high precision. Although Spirit Beasts can utilize Ultimate Moves to achieve high-precision processing, Energy Residue and Energy Interference are two insurmountable issues."

"Especially with these energy weapons, their core components can only be forged using low-energy methods, otherwise just the Energy Residue causing Energy Interference would lead to an explosion."

"What do you mean?"

Although Agunas did not fully understand what Feng Yuan meant by Energy Residue and Energy Interference, he could discern from his words that the current human technology was not capable of creating these weapons, and the only possibility was...

"It must be that the other world is gradually getting closer, even having already made contact. Otherwise, these objects would not have been thrown into ours, and moreover, their infiltration into this world is substantial."

Feng Yuan’s expression turned grim as he spoke. Among the Divine Beasts, maybe only Ernis who mastered mechanical creations could possibly recognize this. But since the other party had little contact with humans and didn’t understand human technological advancement well, they didn’t realize that the humans in this world were touching upon the crucial points of Energy Residue and Energy Interference.

The purpose of introducing these objects was clear—it was to pretend they were created by them and not direct cross-world support. As long as they could mislead human nations into making incorrect decisions, they could lower the human nations’ vigilance.

As for the Divine Beasts? As long as the outsiders harbored malicious intentions, their stance remained the same, so there was no need to try to deceive the Divine Beasts.

"How did you know? Just from these two points? How would you explain Rune Technology?"

Agunas was puzzled, and Feng Yuan shook his finger, explaining,

"These are purely mechanical creations, unlike the Rune Array Technology that relies on energy flow to create various special effects. Because Rune Array Technology uses a massive amount of energy, although it faces similar issues, the impact is not significant."

"And with these purely mechanical ones, any special Energy Interference in the components can lead to various issues. Wait until they seize their weapons; I can disassemble one for you to see—it’s sure to have many designs that isolate energy."

Feng Yuan said, watching the battling Qi Chen and his group. Without dissecting these things, it indeed might be possible to confuse them with Rune Array Technology.
