Smoke Ghost.
The first S-class alien beast to appear in the history of the Pan-Continent.
Back then, Human Race martial arts were just beginning, as weak as infants in swaddling clothes.
Human Race experts gathered together and fought a fierce battle for more than ten days before finally killing him.
As the first S-class alien beast to be slain, it naturally deserves to be recorded in history.
This character was in Qin Ze's high school textbooks, along with a picture.
Compared to this behemoth in front of me, it's not exactly the same, but it's basically a copy and paste.
"So, is he a traditional Smoke Ghost or an e-cigarette Smoke Ghost?"
"A single glance reveals five generations; authentication complete."
"How dare you! What makes you so quick to assume he's a reformer?"
"Stop babbling and go kill it."
"Does anyone in the family know anything about this? I've discovered a Beast!"
"..."
Within the Local Area Network, the clones became extremely excited, even discussing the ownership of the Soul Orb.
That backyard was practically oozing oil; it was absolutely gorgeous.
The Smoke Ghost lay sprawled on the mountaintop.
Beneath it lies a large, flat alloy plate, surrounded by blue laser beams, forming a massive cage.
The Smoke Ghost was not in good condition; his aura was extremely weak, even worse than when Miss Devour had appeared.
Qin Ze even doubted whether Smoke Ghost could still stand up at this moment.
A tiger with its teeth and claws pulled out no longer poses any threat.
Qin Ze summoned a clone.
"Go and cut it."
The clone was utterly shocked. "Are you serious?"
Qin Ze nodded. "Go ahead, kill it and the Soul Orb is yours."
The clone hesitated for a moment, then walked towards the Smoke Ghost.
There were no guards on the mountaintop, so the clone easily reached the edge of the laser cage.
At this moment, he was only one step away from the Smoke Ghost.
However, the Smoke Ghost acted as if he hadn't seen anything and continued puffing away.
The clone was overjoyed.
"This mere cage? I'll smash it to pieces with one punch!"
A powerful punch from a clone.
Then...
And that was the end of it.
The moment the clone touched the laser cage, it instantly turned into a pinch of ash.
"Holy crap! This cage is incredibly strong!"
Before she could even say "pretty" or "beautiful," she was gone.
Let me try!
"I'll shout it out quickly, I'll do it!"
"..."
The eager clones were still thinking about continuing to deliver.
Qin Ze couldn't help but feel somewhat resentful.
It's like a beautiful girl lying in front of you, ready for you to take her, but then you find you can't stand up.
It's so annoying.
"Hurry up, don't dawdle."
A reprimand came from afar.
Qin Ze poked his head out.
Two men who looked like mercenaries were seen escorting a group of students, carrying more than a dozen combat weapons.
There were about twenty students, and they were all injured.
The class monitor, Zhang San, and Fang Songhua were among them.
"They were all wiped out in one fell swoop."
Qin Ze frowned slightly.
The students were equally horrified when they saw the Smoke Ghost.
A mercenary grinned and gestured for everyone to stand on a small alloy plate next to Smoke Ghost.
The package has arrived.
The mercenary took out a walkie-talkie and said something.
Since there were no "e-cigarettes" on the mountaintop, their phone signal was not affected.
Rumble--
A moment later, the roar of machinery rose from beneath the metal plate, and red light strips began to flash around the plate.
Upon seeing this, Qin Ze suddenly understood.
The research institute is located inside this mountain, and there is an elevator at the top of the mountain to get in.
Qin Ze hurriedly called Brother Devour on the Local Area Network.
Where are we?
"Head into the mountains immediately."
"You and the Dharma King go directly to the mountaintop. I'll leave some men behind. I'll figure out a way to lock the cage in a bit. You guys hurry up and make the cuts."
"Receive."
Qin Ze left behind a group of clones, having them hide in the ditch and inhale "secondhand smoke" to support Brother Devour and Dharma King.
Before the elevator started moving, Qin Ze activated his Shelter Space and stepped onto it.
The class monitor and Zhang San were right next to him.
My Third Brother's face was bruised and swollen; even his own mother would have a hard time recognizing him.
The squad leader was in better condition, suffering only minor injuries.
The elevator shaft was very deep; the platform descended several hundred meters before stopping.
"Arrive."
The two mercenaries herded the group of students away like sheep.
Someone was already waiting outside.
After delivering the "package," they took their combat weapons and returned outside via elevator.
Qin Ze followed the escort team deep into the research institute.
Its interior is almost identical to that of the research institute in Jiang City.
In the deep corridor, there is a gate every thirty meters on average, which can only be opened by swiping an ID card.
Qin Ze followed them all the way to the detention cell, where he found nearly twenty students already wearing electronic handcuffs.
The professional team and Nangong Qianrou were among them.
Qin Ze was a little confused.
Weren't they already sent down the mountain beforehand?
The key then vibrated.
Qin Ze entered the chat group and saw the Taoist.
[ Catch a Fox Spirit: I've already gone into the mountains @Beast Tamer, where's Qin Ze?]
[ Beast Tamer: Wait a moment, let me ask.]
[ Deer Cry Yo-Yo: Waaaaaah~ I've been arrested!]
[ Fairies Don't Poop:?]
[ Passerby A:?]
[ Deer Cry Yo-Yo: I've also joined the training camp, and I'm on the same team as Qin Ze.]
[ Catch a Fox Spirit: Is Qin Ze by your side?]
[ Deer Cry Yo-Yo: No, three hours ago, Qin Ze noticed something was wrong and told us to go down the mountain first while he went to rescue the other classmates.]
[ Deer Cry Yo-Yo: That fog can deceive our senses; we think we're going downhill, but we're actually speeding uphill.]
[ Deer Cry Yo-Yo: When we reached the top of the mountain, we ran into the research institute's security team. After a fight, they were all captured.]
[ Passerby A: You're really unlucky...]
Qin Ze has been staying in Bengbu for a while now.
Door-to-door delivery is acceptable.
[ Fairies Don't Poop: Little Deer, don't be afraid, I've arrived in Shi'an and will be heading into the mountains soon]
[ Catch a Fox Spirit: That's right, don't worry, I'll rescue you]
[ Deer Cry Yo-Yo: Thank you everyone. By the way, I saw a living Smoke Ghost on the mountaintop; the fog on the mountain was created by it.]
[ Catch a Fox Spirit: Which Smoke Ghost?]
[ The Deer Cry Yo-Yo: The Mythical Beast in History Books, the Smoke Ghost ]
[ Slacking on the Sidelines: A resurrection?]
[ Passerby A: Could it be a clone? It would be terrifying if the company had the technology to bring the dead back to life.]
[ Yao Yuan: Beasts are not cellular structures, so they cannot be cloned. It's highly likely that the beast didn't die back then.]
[ Passerby A: Senior Yuan, it's been a long time!]
[ Yao Yuan: I've been quite busy lately. I just saw the news. I will send a team of Sea Capital Law Enforcement officers to provide support. The specific responsibilities of Project Zero and this research institute need to be clarified.]
[ Catch a Fox Spirit: This is a sure thing]
[ Beast Tamer: Qin Ze said he has already infiltrated the research institute]
[ Yao Yuan: Qin Ze is quite capable.]
Don't sabotage me, Brother Yuanzi.
Thankfully, Brother Yuanzi logged off after making a joke.
[ Catch a Fox Spirit: Alright, I'll go in and meet him.]
Qin Ze left the group chat and prepared to find out where the control room was.
The Smoke Ghost was still thinking about it; he couldn't go back empty-handed after coming all this way.
We've arrived.
Brother Devour and Dharma King are in position.
His Dharma King: "How much longer? I can only smoke cigarettes; anything else makes me cough."
Qin Ze said calmly, "Please be patient, the performance is about to begin."
Swaying~
The alloy door in the corridor suddenly opened, and two lab technicians wearing masks walked in.
