Shadow Sentinel

The sound came from above Bai Pu's head, from the Spirit Energy Camera that had been floating there.

Bai Pu had been treating the camera as if it didn't exist, never expecting someone would send him a message. He reached out, plucked the Spirit Energy Camera from the air, and tapped the message button.

Ji ji, the Spirit Energy Camera projected a virtual light screen, with lines of text appearing.

[Awakened Bai Pu, ID 97, this is a message from the General Control Room of the Jiangnan Special Military Base. (Official blue text verification)]

[General Control Room: Bai Pu, this is Li Ling! Listen carefully, you are in a very dangerous situation right now. Two Awakened from the Sting Squad have infiltrated the Intersection Lands of the Dead Bone Mountain Range. They are looking for you!]

[General Control Room: After receiving this message, please leave the Intersection Lands immediately!]

Bai Pu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he extended a finger to type a reply on the virtual light screen.

[ID 97: I understand, Sister Ling. Thank you for the reminder, but I don't want to go back.]

Di di.

Li Ling's message came even faster.

[General Control Room: Don't be reckless, and don't think the Intersection Lands are necessarily safe! Some 'Bloody Items' targeting Awakeners might temporarily prevent you from leaving the Intersection Lands!]

[ID 97: I'm not being reckless, but I have no way out. Because there will always be a day when we meet on a narrow road.]

Bai Pu raised his head, his eyes deep.

By fusing with the Evolution Source Blood and advancing to become an Awakened, Bai Pu had gained a second life.

Only those who have once "lost" truly understand the value of "gaining." Bai Pu cherished his current, vibrant life more than anything.

But that didn't mean he had to be cautious in everything he did, locking himself in a completely safe place to wait for death.

On the contrary, Bai Pu would experience the wonderful world with even more dedication. To that end, he would seize every opportunity to strengthen his combat power, fight his enemies, and seek a glimmer of hope.

Survive through battle!

This time, Bai Pu had received an early warning and could leave the Intersection Lands.

But what about next time? And the time after that? The Superpower Corporation could send an endless stream of Awakened assassins, but Bai Pu couldn't hide and retreat endlessly. He also needed to train and increase his strength.

Bai Pu would not be scared away from this training in the Intersection Lands.

One thing Bai Pu was certain of was that the other party's level would definitely not exceed Level 3! Since no intermediate or advanced Awakeners were involved, Bai Pu felt that his disadvantage wasn't too great, and he was confident in fighting them.

Di di.

[General Control Room: Fine, I can't persuade you, so I won't waste my energy. I have some information about Bloody Items here. I'll send it to you to take a look at, but don't spread it around.]

[ID 97: Thank you.]

Bai Pu opened the document and was surprised to find that the information Li Ling sent not only included Bloody Items but also intelligence on the two Awakeners.

[Ye Xiao, codename Fish Intestine, Level 3 Elite, class: Shadow Sentinel...]

[Jin Hui, codename Containing Light, Level 2 Standard Template, class: Shaper...]

After reading the information, Bai Pu stood up.

"I don't know when the Sting Squad will come knocking, but I can't just stop moving forward. I can't be too unrestrained with my monster farming. I have to reserve most of my Spirit Energy and Blood Battle Qi, ready to fight at any time!"

Jiangnan Special Military Base, General Control Room.

"This guy!" Li Ling sighed.

Xiang Yinghua, the base instructor behind her, revealed a hint of admiring smile: "This kid is not bad! He's got guts."

"I'm just afraid he's blindly confident." Li Ling muttered, then embarrassedly pleaded, "Instructor Xiang, can you tell our people to head to Black Mist Valley now and secretly protect Bai Pu?"

Every time the Dead Bone Mountain Range Intersection Lands opens, the military has the most spots for Awakened to enter.

"No can do."

Xiang Yinghua shook his head, refusing cleanly, "Putting aside whether it complies with regulations, just look at this young man's attitude, I doubt he'd want soldiers as babysitters."

Li Ling went out for a while and made a phone call.

After a while, Li Ling came in: "Can you give me two more entry slots for the Dead Bone Mountain Range? I posted a mission within the God Strategy Army and will send two level 3 elites in." Li Ling insisted.

She couldn't explain why she valued Bai Pu so much.

"Too late!" Xiang Yinghua suddenly stared at the screen, "Good heavens, they're here so fast! How did they accurately find Bai Pu's location?"

Li Ling quickly looked at the monitoring screen.

On the screen, a silent pantomime was unfolding.

In the black mist, two figures appeared one after the other, blocking Bai Pu. A short man flashed a bloody light in his hand, and a slightly illusory chain connected him and Bai Pu.

"It's Battle Shackles!" Li Ling clenched her fists, "As expected, it's a bloody item! Instructor Xiang, this is a serious crime!"

"Understood." Xiang Yinghua raised his hand and pressed a red button in the General Control Room, and a clear command sounded, "Dongfeng Squad One and Two, move towards Black Mist Valley, two Awakened are using prohibited items, arrest them immediately! If they dare to resist, eliminate them on the spot! The coordinates are..."

After arranging the deployment inside the Intersection Lands, Xiang Yinghua arranged for a team of Awakened soldiers to wait outside the Intersection Lands portal. If the two Awakened using prohibited items leave the Intersection Lands, arrest them immediately.

Li Ling watched the battle on the screen with some concern. She had checked the intelligence of the two members of the Sting Squad and naturally knew their names and codenames.

In the picture, Fish Intestine, whose profession is "Shadow Sentinel", disappeared in a flash after binding the Battle Shackles, then emerged from Bai Pu's shadow, delivering a fierce throat slash!

Clang! Bai Pu was prepared after receiving the Spirit Realm Will's [Battle Shackles] information prompt.

He tried his best to dodge, but he was a little slow. His shoulder took the hit, and the Iron Thorn Shoulder Guard and the dagger made a harsh metallic sound. The energy surrounding the dagger did not weaken, piercing through the shoulder armor and into his flesh!

A corrosive dark energy followed.

[Unknown enemy's skill: Shadow Assault has dealt 9 points of piercing damage + 25 points of shadow damage to you, and applied a poison effect, current stacks: 1 stack. Poison effect: Lose 3 health points per second.]

"Very strong, it's actually mixed damage, and it's poisoned... It seems the poison can be stacked!" Bai Pu thought quickly.

Little did he know that Fish Intestine on the other side was cursing wildly in the team channel.

"What kind of monster newbie has 380 health points?! My professional skill only took off less than a tenth of it, and a normal attack can only deal single-digit damage! I'm one level higher than him, with a 10% damage bonus!"

With [Keratinous Skin]'s reduction of piercing damage, Bai Pu's own high 19 points of base armor damage reduction, plus the [Iron Thorn Shoulder Guard]'s 10 points of additional shoulder armor damage reduction...

It was normal for Fish Intestine's normal attack to not even reach double-digit damage.

The Containing Light magic wand waved, and a gray energy bullet shot out, dealing non-attribute magic damage to Bai Pu. This was her basic magic skill as a Shaper. The magic damage dealt had no extra bonus, but it was good for sustained output.

After Fish Intestine's normal attack, he followed up with Death Cross. The two daggers drew a cross-shaped blood plum in the air, and Bai Pu's body was once again scratched with bloody marks.

The Death Cross skill dealt a total of 15 points of piercing damage to Bai Pu, 7+8.

"Damn! I can only stack the poison layers to the highest level of 3 first. Losing 9 health points per second, with the 60-second duration of the Battle Shackles, even considering his health recovery speed, it's enough to bleed him to death! What's more, there's the continuous offensive suppression from me and Containing Light!" Fish Intestine calculated rapidly in his mind.

Fish Intestine's calculations were very accurate, but he underestimated one thing.

Although Bai Pu was a newbie, he was not a lamb to be slaughtered!
