Humanoid Radar

Slap~ Slap~ Slap~

The Earth Dragon Squad landed smoothly and immediately formed an arrowhead formation.

Qin Dadi stood at the front, with Xiao Yunlong and Liu Zhaozhao guarding the flanks, while Qin Tian took the center, acting as the squad's brain.

"Qin Tian, which way?"

After Qin Tian displayed his extraordinary perception, Qin Dadi decisively handed over command, taking on only the role of meat shield.

Qin Tian lowered his eyelids slightly, concentrating his mind.

Within a two-kilometer radius, streams of information—sounds, scents, heat sources—converged in his brain, ultimately weaving into a radar heat map.

"This way."

Qin Tian pointed in a direction where the sound of snake scales scraping against the ground came from, indicating a Serpent Warrior moving.

"Move out!"

The Earth Dragon Squad didn't hesitate, running toward the direction Qin Tian indicated. The night was too dark, the terrain too complex; despite the Multifunctional Helmet's assistance, they still had to watch their footing carefully, so their pace wasn't fast.

Halfway there, Qin Tian suddenly barked:

"Stop!"

They immediately halted, nerves on edge.

"What's up, Qin Tian?" Xiao Yunlong asked in a low voice.

Qin Tian took the Hidden Kill Rune Gun off his back, propped it between several large rocks, and stealthily extended the muzzle through a crevice, aiming ahead as he slowly adjusted:

"He's right in front."

In front?

Qin Dadi, Liu Zhaozhao, and Xiao Yunlong immediately peered forward. With the Multifunctional Helmet's infrared assistance, they could see grass, broken trees, and scattered rocks—but no Serpent Warrior.

"Qin Tian, you sure?" Xiao Yunlong asked doubtfully.

Qin Tian nodded lightly: "I'm sure."

The Serpent Warrior ahead was regulating its body temperature, perfectly masking its thermal signature. This trick could evade the helmet's infrared detection, but not his naked-eye observation.

In his field of vision, a Serpent Warrior was crawling toward them almost flush with the ground, moving with extreme caution. Its cyan-black scales blended into the night, and the sound of scales scraping against the earth was drowned out by the howling wind.

The Serpent Warrior thought it was being silent and flawless, little knowing that under Qin Tian's formidable Night Vision Ability, every move was completely exposed.

Hum~

The Hidden Kill Rune Gun's Three Great Runes activated. He pulled the trigger, and a special bullet shot from the muzzle, striking the Serpent Warrior precisely between the eyes.

Bang~

A third-order Serpent Warrior, killed by Qin Tian with a single headshot.

For the Hidden Kill, unless it was a Beast Spirit Warrior with powerful bloodline, anyone below the Fourth Order died on contact. Above the Fourth Order, one could still gamble with [Ember Critical Strike].

Yesterday's Fourth Order Myriad Poison Snake Person was the best proof.

Bang~

The head exploded, red and white splattering everywhere.

The Earth Dragon Squad blinked. Only now did they spot the Serpent Warrior through their night vision.

"Tch, that was close."

Xiao Yunlong sucked in a cold breath, both startled and frightened.

If not for Qin Tian, the Serpent Warrior might have crept right up to their faces without them noticing.

"How did this Serpent Warrior evade infrared detection?" Liu Zhaozhao asked, puzzled.

She had previously fought alongside Shadow Cat and Spirit Cat, but this was her first time facing a Serpent Warrior, and she didn't understand their talents and abilities.

Qin Tian explained:

"It's a kind of body temperature control ability. Serpent Warriors with slightly stronger strength can alter their body temperature to blend into the surrounding environment, making them undetectable by infrared."

If he hadn't absorbed the [Thermal Sense Control] talent, he wouldn't have imagined that Serpent Warriors had such a trick either.

After killing the Serpent Warrior, two talent orbs flew toward him. Unfortunately, these two orbs couldn't shake the positions of [Thermal Sense Control] and [Body of Ten Thousand Poisons].

However, the Evolution Points from the kill pleasantly surprised Qin Tian.

1557 points

It seemed this was a relatively high-level third-order Serpent Warrior.

Not bad, a good start!

Qin Tian's lips curled slightly. Just then, his ears twitched as he caught the sound of fighting in the distance.

"This way."

Qin Tian pointed south, and the Earth Dragon Squad set off immediately.

Before long, Qin Dadi and the other two also heard the sounds of fighting ahead.

Clang, clang, clang~~

War blades clashed in midair, sparks flying everywhere.

A tall snake-man swung a long blade, locked in battle with three humans. From their spiritual pressure and performance, all were Third-Order Psionic Users, but the snake-man was clearly stronger than the other three, holding his own against them without losing ground.

"Should we step in?" Xiao Yunlong looked at Qin Tian.

Qin Tian thought for a moment, then shook his head.

"Let's see how it goes first."

Times were different now.

This was a hunting feast targeting snake-men.

Every squad was doing their best to find any snake that slipped through the cracks, kill them, and earn more Military Merit Points.

Rushing in when the allied forces hadn't shown any sign of weakness would be like stealing kills in a game—it would inevitably cause dissatisfaction or even conflict.

Clang, clang, clang~~

The sound of weapons clashing continued, the battle growing fiercer.

Just as the snake-man swung his blade to block a long sword slashing toward him, he suddenly felt something slap him on the back.

As onlookers, the Earth Dragon Squad clearly saw what had just happened.

A moment ago, a book-sized black gate silently appeared behind the snake-man. A hand reached out from the Black Gate, slapped a white substance onto the snake-man's back, then quickly withdrew as the gate closed.

The moment that hand appeared, the three psionic users surrounding the snake-man immediately retreated in tacit understanding. The next instant, the Sticky Bomb on the snake-man's back exploded with a roar.

Boom!

A flash of fire, and the explosive force sent the snake-man flying, scales shattered, blood streaming, accompanied by a chilling scream.

"Damn, that ability is too sneaky—who could defend against that?"

Xiao Yunlong's mouth hung open as he couldn't help whispering in surprise, then quickly added:

"If I had that ability, I'd definitely be a legendary thief by now."

Qin Dadi said calmly, "That ability can only be used for support, and you also have to consider distance. It's not as powerful as you imagine."

Right~

Qin Tian nodded inwardly, agreeing with Qin Dadi's assessment.

If the snake-man hadn't been pinned down by the other three psionic users, he would have sensed it the moment the Black Gate opened and reacted in time.

This ability wasn't suited for direct combat.

But Xiao Yunlong had a point—if there were no distance limit, using it for theft would indeed be impossible to guard against.

Qin Tian turned his head, looking at a large tree two kilometers away. Through Heat Source Sensing, he could tell that Ability User was hiding in the tree, well concealed by the dense foliage, motionless—impossible to spot with the naked eye. Quite...

Suddenly, Qin Tian's pupils contracted.

In his field of vision, a face covered in scales suddenly appeared behind the Ability User, dim yellow snake eyes flickering with malice. But the Ability User, completely focused on the battlefield, didn't notice his presence.

Two kilometers away, Qin Tian had also been keeping an eye on the battle below. With Heat Source Sensing failing, he hadn't detected this snake-man either.

Not good!

Qin Tian quickly raised his rifle and pulled the trigger at the snake-man.

Almost at the same time—

Pfft~

Bang~

The Steel Knife pierced the Ability User's back, and the bullet blew off the snake-man's head.

"Qin Tian, what was that..."

The three members of the Earth Dragon Squad looked at Qin Tian, their eyes full of inquiry.

Qin Tian slowly lowered his gun and shook his head.
