Chapter 141: Chapter 39: Presenting Oneself

Sitting in the anti-gravity car, Zhang Xiaoman frowned deeply.

It seemed the thing he had been worried about had still happened, and the setting regarding the Blood Butterfly had indeed become reality. Moreover, its ferocity was far beyond his expectations.

Slowly descending the car toward the ground below, Zhang Xiaoman still did not know in which building the alien monster was; he needed to search carefully.

But just at that moment, the Blood Butterfly inside Building No. 5 launched another attack.

A sharp screeching sound, with it as the center, diffused outward, and its range was even larger than before, instantly stunning some of the warriors who were lagging behind and hadn’t managed to run away in time.

Zhang Xiaoman’s current altitude was less than 200 meters, well within the range of the Blood Butterfly’s attack, and naturally, he was also affected.

All of a sudden, ripples appeared outside the anti-gravity car he was in, and the originally used cloaking field that made it invisible also began to fade.

As the surface shimmered with flowing light, the anti-gravity car’s sci-fi structure abruptly appeared above the hospital.

"What is that!?"

In the command vehicle, those who were observing the scene below through drones all froze, never having expected that a strange aircraft would suddenly appear here.

Minister Hu quickly asked Camp Commander Qiu, "Is that one of your people, Commander Qiu?"

Camp Commander Qiu shook his head with a bewildered expression, "Neither the Second nor the Third Battalion have anything like this, and the regiment doesn’t either! I thought it was your Abnormality Department’s!"

Full of astonishment, Captain Liu exclaimed, "What on earth is that thing, how did it fly up there without propellers? Is it aliens?"

Upon hearing him say "aliens," Minister Hu’s expression changed several times as if associating it with something and immediately started a call.

On one side, Camp Commander Qiu also came back to his senses from his momentary stupor.

He swiftly responded, first ordering the communications soldier to attempt contact with the other party while also reporting to his superiors through his own channel.

Meanwhile, inside the anti-gravity car, Zhang Xiaoman looked at the sudden situation unfolding before him, and an expression of surprise involuntarily appeared on his face.

"Looks like this guy has some skills, managing to break through my invisibility, interesting... But this is good, it saves me the trouble of slowly searching for you."

His gaze shifted to the system prompt displayed on the screen in front of him, and the corner of his mouth slightly curled upwards.

On the smart assistant’s panel, a blood-red silhouette was highlighted coming out of the building below, accompanied by a locking notification sound.

"Electronic pulse attack detected, invisibility mode canceled, target automatically locked, do you wish to launch an attack?"

Outside the anti-gravity car, two miniature pulse lasers emerged from their retractable slots, the purple crystals at their tips reflecting a captivating light. After automatically adjusting their angle, they aimed at the position where the Blood Butterfly was located below, ready to unleash a destructive attack at Zhang Xiaoman’s command.

"No, no, no! Quickly pull them back!"

Zhang Xiaoman hurriedly said to the smart assistant.

Just kidding, the place below is Bai Yulan City, and a hospital no less; there’s no telling how many people might still be inside.

Even if there were no people, the havoc his two attacks could wreak if let loose was unthinkable.

The armaments of this military version of the anti-gravity car had never been tested, and their power was still a complete unknown.

Now that he knew the exact location of the Blood Butterfly, Zhang Xiaoman immediately sprang into action.

Since the invisibility mode had failed, he simply flew over and parked the car on the rooftop of Building 5.

Previously, at the cultivation exchange conference, he had used the Burst Spirit Skill once, costing 40 points of Dark Energy, the Eternal Veil once, costing 20 points of Dark Energy, and summoned two Star Guards for 30 points, totaling 90 points.

However, later on, Xiao Man gained 55 points of Dark Energy through two uses of the Soul Absorption Technique and automatic recovery. Now, he had a total of 115 points left, which he felt was sufficient enough to deal with a Blood Butterfly.

It wasn’t that he was overconfident, but because he possessed the ability of the Master of the Mind, he was immune to all spiritual attacks, so there was no need to fear this kind of purely mental force monster.

According to what Xiao Man had set initially, Blood Butterflies excel at spiritual power, but in terms of physical strength, they are utterly weak.

This type of creature can basically be considered as having an extreme evolutionary direction, whose powerful spiritual force gives it overwhelming strength, but at the same time makes it particularly susceptible to being targeted.

In this aspect, Xiao Man had the perfect ability to restrain it.

The reason the warriors of the second and third battalions suffered such a terrible defeat was not because they were weaker than the Blood Butterflies.

Aside from the large number of unconscious civilians they had to consider, the main reason was humanity’s unfamiliarity with these peculiar creatures.

Stepping out of the anti-gravity car, Xiao Man had already activated the Eternal Veil in advance, shrouding himself once again in the dark shadows, making it difficult for others to see his appearance.

Arriving at the stairway leading to the lower levels of the rooftop, Xiao Man pondered for a moment and then attempted to use his Spirit Detection Technique Skill that he had never managed to use successfully before.

Despite feeling confident about the odd existence below, like a lion tackling a rabbit with all its strength, he didn’t want to be the slightest bit careless.

Wrapping himself with this BUFF might help him avoid some potential dangers, especially since the environment below was unknown, and there might be more than just one Blood Butterfly inside.

Practice makes perfect, and after having successfully cast the Burst Spirit Skill several times, Xiao Man found the Spirit Detection Technique, which is very similar in formula, easy to perform, succeeding on his first attempt.

This time, as he completed the arrangement and activation of the Dark Energy Sequence, a bloom of silver-white light had already appeared at his fingertips.

Xiao Man could clearly perceive the gentle calmness of the light, no longer restless as the Burst Spirit Skill had been before.

Following the instructions recorded in the Spirit Detection Technique formula, Xiao Man slowly brought his finger close to his eyes.

With the activation of the skill, the ball of silver-white light quickly attached itself to his eye area.

If one could ignore the Eternal Veil from the outside, it would be seen that his eyes were emitting two balls of silver-white light, like the Eye of the Prophet that sees into the future, mysterious and powerful.

"This Skill... is too strong!" he murmured.

The instant the skill was successfully used, Xiao Man felt he could suddenly "see" the Dark Energy around him.

This wasn’t simply seeing with his eyes but a brand new experience, as if he had acquired an additional perceptive organ, observing his surroundings in a curious way.

Through this miraculous perspective, Xiao Man could see the entire world enveloped in a gray haze, with Dark Energy filling every corner. If he looked carefully, he could even discern the subtle flow of it.

In this gray world, Xiao Man could not distinguish real-world obstacles like walls or railings.

However, he could clearly see several denser black energy clusters moving slowly not far below him, with the largest and most massive one taking the shape of a huge butterfly!

The silver light flickering in Xiao Man’s eyes obscured his pupils, leaving no emotion visible within them.

"I see you."
