Gao Wu: After transforming into a soft girl, I became a calamity?

Ahua withdrew his gaze, a hint of barely suppressed excitement flashing in his eyes.

It finally managed to sneak into this human city and enjoyed a few comfortable days.

But during a hunt two months ago, it was accidentally exposed, attracting the attention of the group of awakened humans who chased after it, forcing it to hide and flee.

Therefore, its hunting efficiency was greatly reduced, and at its hungriest times it even had to rely on "spoiled food" to survive.

Of all the humans chasing it, the one that left the deepest impression on it was a fourth-tier water-wielding creature whose slowing effect was so disgusting that it almost killed it.

Two months... It hasn't had a proper meal in two months.

Although the diseased individuals are also human, and can be considered alternative awakened beings,

But for it, the average quality is too low, and it has a strange smell. Unless it is a high-level sequence, it is definitely not as attractive as a genuine Awakened.

Now that I've finally managed to sneak in, I'm naturally going to have a big meal.

I heard that woman is the daughter of that fourth-tier individual, and she's also a high-level one.

Even if it's only a second-tier product, the taste and value will definitely not be bad.

It planned to return to the Mist after finishing this meal, and once it reached the fourth rank, it would definitely come back to take revenge on these humans, especially the one who used water.

Oh, and there's another advanced sequence of Tier 1 cakes, buy one get one free, it's absolutely amazing!

……

After leaving the city, the convoy proceeded at a steady speed along a straight road.

Jiang Mian leaned against the car window and looked outside.

An invisible barrier shrouded the road, keeping out the fog and providing a clear and unobstructed view ahead, giving it the feel of an underwater tunnel.

Higher in the sky, a dazzling golden ribbon of light stretched into the distance, like a celestial road from mythology.

It was spectacular, so spectacular that it was hard to believe that it was just a transportation device—the track of the "Mist Line".

If you want to travel to a core urban area that is far away, that is the fastest way.

It looks quite high-tech, a completely different style from the city, no wonder the price is shockingly high.

Jiang Mian snapped out of her thoughts.

Based on the distance, it should be about right.

This place is some distance from the city and there's no fork in the road leading south, so if those two were to set up an ambush, they would most likely choose this area.

With a thought, the water flowing from under the car carried the communication box to the ground.

The target wasn't large, and with the wind providing cover, no one noticed the inconspicuous little black shadow on the road, and even if they did, they wouldn't pay it any mind.

It's just a small pool of water, not even a calamity, so what threat could it pose?

After the convoy drove away, the mass of water carried the communication box to the side of the road.

As soon as it touched the ground, the skull received the signal, and its mouth opened and closed, emitting the sound of number four.

"Feed? Number Six? Where are you?"

As it spoke, the water sphere rapidly transformed, strangely growing a mouth that, aided by the wind, emitted the clone's characteristic languid voice, uttering each word clearly:

"I've arrived. When it's time to make my move... I'll naturally come to find you."

Just teasing them.

This was just Jiang Mian's way of proving that she had left the city and was within a two-kilometer radius of them.

This served as a check-in, to prevent the two from becoming suspicious too early.

On the other side, a high ground not far from the road.

The fog here seemed even thicker, and looking up, it appeared to writhe like living things, gloomy and lifeless.

"Feed? Number Six? Number Six? Say something!"

Number Four bent over on the ground and tapped the skull in front of him.

"Don't break it."

Number Eight, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but speak up to remind them.

"The newbie hung up on you, so it's no use knocking again."

"oh."

Number Four then picked up the communication box, rubbed it casually, and put it in his pocket.

"That woman... she actually came out? How did she do that?"

He seemed to be talking to himself, or perhaps asking Number Eight.

"You're asking me? Who should I ask?"

Number Eight said impatiently.

He already harbored considerable resentment towards this mission.

Not only is it difficult and risky, but one of the two teammates is a bit dim-witted, and the other is a newcomer who is also a difficult lone wolf to get along with.

What should I do?

Number Eight also knew that Number Six's ability was [Mist Concealment], which gave him a unique advantage in the mist.

Once the ability is activated, the two of them won't be able to find it even if they want to.

"Forget about number six, is everything ready?"

Number Four chuckled and pulled open his coat.

The inside of the coat was covered with many oddly shaped little props.

Number Eight's eyes twitched as he watched.

"Alright, let's start setting up."

According to their original plan, they needed to artificially trigger a miniature fog tide.

At that time, in addition to the abnormal gathering of the mist, there will also be a considerable number of low-level calamities, with the highest level being the third rank.

The team also had two third-tier leaders, so they weren't completely defenseless; their strength was about acceptable.

While ensuring sufficient chaos and ease of action, it is important not to cause the target to lose their life.

Number Four nodded, turned and walked into the depths of the mist, with Number Eight following behind.

……

About two hours later, the convoy arrived at Base City 143 and parked in the maintenance area on the west wall.

Strangely, upon entering the city wall area, Jiang Mian felt an inexplicable pressure, his head was spinning, and he also felt inexplicably nauseous.

"What's wrong?"

Su Wanning turned to look at her and asked with concern.

Jiang Mian shook her head to indicate that she was fine.

"Maybe it's because it's their first time navigating the foggy passage, and they're not used to it yet?"

"I see... Come down and get some fresh air."

Su Wanning didn't suspect anything and casually opened the car door for her.

The environment inside the passage is like a poorly ventilated tunnel, and those who enter for the first time or spend a long time in it may feel uncomfortable.

Jiang Mian follows the [Elemental] path, so his physical attributes weren't greatly enhanced in the early stages, but his senses were exceptionally sharp, which makes sense.

She got out of the car and looked at the maintenance area not far away.

Qin Wu was leading the others, pushing dozens of boxes taller than herself into the carriage.

Jiang Mian had a vague feeling that the source of this oppressive feeling was over there.

A thought suddenly popped into her mind.

"Could this be... a glorious monument? Or a large quantity of radiant crystals?"

But if these things can affect her, why doesn't the Radiant Crystal that Ye Chenyang gave her have any effect on her?

Is it because the quantity is too small?

Or is it due to the creator's level?

Jiang Mian felt in her pocket and took out a small storage box, inside which was the bracelet Ye Chenyang had given her.

She had thought it might be useful, so she carried it with her.

The instant his fingertips touched the bracelet, an invisible wave quietly spread out, enveloping Jiang Mian.

Then, she felt a lightness all over her body, as if the invisible pressure had been neutralized by another force.

A rare look of surprise flashed across her eyes:

"Is it... protecting me?"

Why?

As is well known, [Radiance] has a significant restraining effect on Calamity, but the effect varies depending on the path of Calamity.

Of the five paths, it is the least effective against the [Catastrophe] path.

However, it is absolutely impossible for a force of the same origin to have a protective effect in the opposite direction!

Unless... the bracelet's maker designated her as a protected individual from the outset through special means.

Regardless of the source of the power, as long as it originates from the outside, it will trigger the shield.
