Chapter 265: Chapter 187: Fierce Battle

A group of people quickly prepared and, with Zheng Gong driving, rapidly headed towards the old city district.

The Peace Finance Building was not far from the old city district.

That was exactly why Zheng Gong received a distress signal from Gu Mengping.

"Everyone be ready, the distress message said that the number of Spider Monsters in the old city district is astonishing, and some have terrifying strengths, surpassing ordinary Fierce Beasts. The most dangerous is the spider matriarch, which is huge and might already be at the level of an Extraordinary Creature," he explained.

While driving, Zheng Gong spoke, "Speaking of this spider matriarch, I have to mention the time Li Yi and I, along with Wang Jian, went on a mission... We had the chance to shoot it dead, but a Fierce Beast interrupted us. Wang Jian said back then that this creature could cause big trouble, and it turns out he was right."

"It’s not too late to act now," Li Yi said calmly, "Later, Zheng Gong and Yuan Mingjin will use sniper rifles for support, and the rest is up to me and Lin Yue."

"Okay, I’ll follow your arrangement," Zheng Gong nodded.

Yuan Mingjin also expressed no problem, as long-distance sniping was his strong suit, and if he could shoot the Spider-man from a safe position, he would be pleased.

Lin Yue said, "Li Yi, the most important thing about this mission is to locate that Spider-man’s matriarch and kill it. Only by doing this can we completely resolve the incident and smoothly claim the credit. I know a bit about that Cultivator called Gu Mengping, he’s quite strong, said to have some connections with Yang Yilong, and is now working for the bureau with a clear goal to compete for a spot."

"So we are in competition with him, and this uncompleted task of his is an opportunity for us."

"Sister Lin, although the mission is important, our safety is also crucial. You mentioned Gu Mengping’s strength is quite notable, but even he hasn’t completed this task, you can imagine the risk. We can’t put ourselves in danger just because we are eager to achieve merit," Li Yi said.

He hoped Lin Yue would stay calm and not let her emotions get the best of her.

In Tianchang City, there were not a few Spiritual Perception Masters who fell during the hunting missions, and even the squad leader Zhang Lei was still unconscious, which says a lot about the danger of these missions.

"Li Yi, you are right, the mission is important, but so is our safety," Lin Yue took a deep breath at that moment, calming her restless heart, "In that case, we’ll play it by ear. If we get a chance, we’ll take action; if not, we’ll treat this mission as a practice."

"That’s right," Li Yi nodded.

After discussing with each other, they soon drove into the old city district.

"Zheng Gong, avoid the buildings ahead, last time I passed through there, those residential buildings were haunted," Li Yi suddenly reminded.

At these words, Zheng Gong hurriedly turned the steering wheel and quickly changed the route, "Really? It’s haunted already?"

"The range of supernatural incidents is expanding, which is very dangerous and must be resolved as soon as possible," Yuan Mingjin spoke quietly, "However, this task is untouchable, the bureau is desperate. If anyone could resolve the supernatural incident in the old city district, even without doing any other tasks, a spot in Golden Academy would be almost guaranteed."

"Supernatural incident? Forget it, I’m most scared of ghosts. Even if they’re not strong, they are difficult to deal with. Mess with soul stuff, and you can end up unconscious like Zhang Lei, becoming one of the Silent Ones," Lin Yue hurriedly shook her head.

Yet what’s said carelessly can sometimes be taken seriously.

Gaining a spot by resolving the supernatural event in the old city district?

Li Yi’s eyes flickered.

He had experience dealing with Ghost Messengers in the Four Seas and Eight Continents, and also had a Hanging Man Spear at home, a Netherworld Artifact that could kill fierce ghosts... Could he possibly resolve the supernatural event in the old city district if he used it properly?

However, this thought was quickly suppressed.

His current strength wasn’t strong enough. To confront a ghost, it was best to reach the stage of Refining Points, by then his Qi-Blood would be condensed, and with the Fist Gang, he could kill fierce ghosts. Maybe that would be the real opportunity for him to take action.

If he recklessly acted with just his little tricks, and accident happened, it would be the end, he could even lose his life.

As he was pondering.

Suddenly.

The vehicle abruptly screeched to a halt and stopped by the roadside.

"I see Spider-men, quite a few are heading towards us," Zheng Gong’s anxious voice rang out, and then he opened the car door, immediately grabbing the sniper rifle from beside his seat.

He racked and loaded his rifle with crisp, decisive movements, directly aiming ahead.

The others also reacted instantly.

Yuan Mingjin cradling the sniper rifle, opened the passenger side door, flipped onto the car roof, and set up his rifle.

Li Yi and Lin Yue burst out of the car, stepping onto the street, eyes gleaming as they scanned their surroundings, also quickly observing the nearby situation.

Yet the next moment.

Everyone’s eyes suddenly narrowed, their faces showing shock.

On the wall of the nearby residential building, it was densely covered with Spider-men, each grayish wall crawling with them looked extremely eerie, and not just on the walls of the buildings, the ground in front, nearby cars, and even on the telephone poles, there were figures of Spider-men.
