Encounter

"They've left?"

"Disappeared?"

"Those Chou Ghost are gone."

"Zhan Peng, Zhan Peng, are you alright?"

The voices of his classmates kept ringing out on the communication channel, but the Mech Master Zhan Peng did not respond.

He sat in his chair, his eyes vacant and blank, his hands hanging limply at his sides, motionless.

After a while, the driver's cab was opened manually from the outside, and two students came in to check on Zhan Peng's condition.

"Zhan Peng, how are you?"

"Is anything bothering you?"

They waved their hands in front of their classmate's eyes, and when Zhan Peng didn't react, one of them removed his helmet, while the other checked Zhan Peng's vital signs.

"His vital signs are stable; he doesn't appear to be injured anywhere."

Another person slapped their classmate's face, only to find that Zhan Peng didn't react at all.

"Captain, is Zhan Peng going to become a vegetable?"

The team leader, with a grave expression, said, "Quickly, contact the event organizers."

Not long after, in the cockpit of the ' Bi'an ', Luo Yan received a message from the organizer.

"Attention all students, Zhan Peng, a student at the Zhengde Academy, has been attacked by Chou Ghost again. This strange occurrence seems to have undergone changes not seen before."

"Once a response is received, a large number of Chou Ghost will merge into Ao Ye's appearance and attack the responder."

"After being attacked, Zhan Peng's vital signs were normal, but he lost his ability to respond to external stimuli. It is initially suspected that the Ao Ye form of the 'Chou Ghost' can cause humans to lose consciousness."

"Students, please be careful and try not to go out at night, so as not to be distracted and give the Chou Ghost an opportunity to take advantage."

Has the Chou Ghost changed?

Luo Yan looked at the message and was glad he hadn't responded. Even now, one or two Chou Ghost would still occasionally pop out of the driver's seat.

Luo Yan shut down the mecha's main power supply, curled up on the back of the chair, ignored the Chou Ghost, and closed his eyes to pretend to sleep.

The next day, at daybreak.

Luo Yan watched as a little boy, Chou Ghost, slowly disappeared into the sunlight inside the driver's seat.

Like a bubble, it disappeared into the morning sunlight.

But even Chou Ghost disappeared, the crying from the danger zone continued.

It was as if thousands upon thousands of people were weeping and wailing day and night in the danger zone.

After washing up and having breakfast, Luo Yan drove the 'Biqian' deeper into the danger zone.

Just like yesterday, he used the secret technique ' Nether Gate Opening ' to keep ' Bi'an ' invisible.

This allows the mechs to penetrate deep into Forbidden Land like a giant ghost.

After entering the danger zone, cries and tragic words could be heard from time to time.

Moreover, unlike in the Safe Zone, the weeping and words in the danger zone have acquired Exotic Power that influences emotions.

Luo Yan took out the prepared in-ear headphones and put them in his ears so he could no longer hear the crying.

He then made several Dragon Scales appear behind him to avoid being affected by the Exotic Power in the crying.

Even in its incomplete 'dragon transformation' form, the malevolent aura naturally emanating from the ' Dragon Dragon Blood Essence ' still lingers.

He could always easily shatter those abnormal forces that affected Luo Yan's mind.

After walking for a while, a Spectrum Signal suddenly appeared on the Giant Beast Radar.

Blue signal.

A Lower-tier Giant Beast was heading towards the ' Bi'an ', and Luo Yan immediately stopped the mecha.

A moment later, the jungle came into view, with trees falling to either side.

A giant beast resembling a wild boar, ' Lili ', charged towards them.

Its appearance didn't seem like it had discovered Luo Yan and the mecha; rather, it seemed to have been frightened by something.

Luo Yan did not make a move, watching the giant beast pass through the woods not far in front of the panoramic view.

Watch as this large wild boar trampled a 'path' through the woods.

He then drove the ' Bi'an ' forward and activated ' Unbounded Blazing Eyes '.

Before long, Luo Yan detected a giant beast before the Giant Beast Radar could detect it.

It was a Flying Beast, generally resembling an owl, with a human-like face.

That face looked like that of a middle-aged man, with deep nasolabial folds.

It has four eyes, and even ears!

It has jet-black feathers on its body, but the tips of the feathers gradually turn vermilion.

On each of its two wings grew a distinct black and white eye, which scanned left and right, creating a very eerie sight.

Upper-tier Giant Beast!

Luo Yan still remembers that when he first arrived in the Undercity, Guangling City was attacked, and Di Zheng went into battle.

At that time, among the giant beasts that attacked Guangling, there was such a Flying Beast.

At the time, this Flying Beast wasn't in the archives of the Giant Beast Strategy Department, but now...

The Giant Beast Strategy Department has already named it 'Yong'!

The Classic of Mountains and Seas and Seas records that four hundred li to the east is a mountain called Lingqiu, which is barren of vegetation and abundant with fire.

To its south lies a valley called Zhonggu, from which the winds originate.

There is a bird that resembles an owl, with a human face, four eyes, and ears; its name is Yong (pronounced Yu).

Its cry is its own name; its appearance foretells a great drought throughout the land.

At this moment, the Giant Bird stood with its wings drooping by the Great Lake.

His face, resembling that of middle-aged man, darted around in his eyes before he lowered his head to drink.

That Lili must have been scared away by it.

At this moment, Luo Yan was using the secret technique ' Nether Gate Opening ' and concealed his form, thus failing to attract the Giant Bird's attention.

Luo Yan controlled the ' Bi'an ' and quietly headed towards the Giant Bird.

After a while, the distance between the two sides was only one kilometer.

Yong seemed to react, raising his head. A puzzled expression appeared on the middle-aged man's face. He looked around, then lowered his head to drink water again.

We can't get any closer!

Luo Yan estimated the distance between the two and made a decisive move.

He first changed the secret technique from ' Nether Gate Opening ' to 'Opening the Opening the Essence Gate '. The secret technique ' Soul Gate Opening ' produces different effects when switching between different Soul Wheels.

Now that the cycle has shifted from the Nether Wheel to the Primordial Wheel, the power unleashed by the ' Opening the Essence Gate ' is even greater and stronger.

The human-faced bird, which was drinking water by the Great Lake, suddenly sensed a violent aura erupting behind it.

The intense heat, like a volcanic eruption, immediately caught its attention.

The human-faced bird let out a strange cry, spread its wings with huge eyes, and was about to flap them and fly away.

Just then, a ray of light, like a thin mist, suddenly surged forward.

This radiance, thin as smoke, reflected a golden light like the sun.

Wherever it passed, vegetation spontaneously combusted without fire, and the air temperature rose rapidly.

Just as it was about to split the human-faced bird in two, the eyes on the giant beast's wings suddenly emitted a strange light.

Instantly, the golden rainbow light veered off course, passing by the left wing of the human-faced bird.

Cut off its wing by the roots!

Yong let out a scream, and its remaining wing flapped wildly, sending out clumps of pale red powder.

After the powder dispersed, it gradually turned into Blazing Flame, and some even exploded.

The vegetation near the Great Lake was burned and destroyed.

At this moment, the Bi'an revealed its true form.

Under Luo Yan's control, they charged forward with their shields raised.

The human-faced bird then turned its head, revealing a ferocious expression on the middle-aged man's face, his eyes filled with resentment.

The remaining wing flapped wildly at the mecha, scattering the pale red powder as it did so.

It also created a strong wind, propelling the powder faster as it was scattered towards the Bi'an!
