I Am Also An Extraordinary Creature
Chapter 1166 - 844: Asking for Trouble?

Chapter 1166: Chapter 844: Asking for Trouble?

"So, does it make sense to release all of them?" Lin Yaoyao glanced at the string of blood-red beads on her wrist.

"This thing is inherently portable. Releasing all of them would be too conspicuous." Qi Xiangyun immediately shook her head. Although the released blood puppets can passively cultivate to accumulate strength, once released, they cannot be retracted.

As for the passive cultivation... that just shows how impressive Brother Chang Qing is, with the released blood puppets behaving just like normal creatures.

Liu Hongzhao said, "The strength accumulated through cultivation isn’t as much as that accumulated through slaughter."

The strength gathered through passive cultivation by the blood puppets is not very efficient. In contrast, the efficiency of gaining strength through slaughter is different. The life force of those cultivators is very potent, and a few deaths caused by the blood puppets can accumulate a large amount of strength.

There’s no need to release them in advance. As long as they are thrown out during battle, let the blood puppets snowball.

For those that have been released, passive cultivation is just an added bonus to prevent weakening from being out for too long.

However, the strength accumulated from passive cultivation cannot replace life force. The core of maintaining the existence of blood puppets is still life force.

"We’re never short of slaughter around us." Lin Yaoyao yawned.

"Let’s head back to the Dusk Territory first." Qi Xiangyun saw Lin Yaoyao’s weary look and suggested.

After they returned to the Dusk Territory, they found the entire place somewhat restless.

After some inquiries, Qi Xiangyun found out what had happened. The location for the Boundary Breaking core had been identified, but the place was very hard to seize directly.

So, a large-scale operation was planned next. There’s no need to worry about leaks; the deterrent power of Dusk still exists. If any Dusk mercenary wants to court death, they can forget about enjoying the special privileges of Dusk in the future.

Even those Dusk mercenaries with ulterior motives would think of completing the mission. Only by completing the mission can they gain more.

"What a coincidence?" Lin Yaoyao couldn’t help but yawn again and rubbed her eyes, "I should get a good rest first. I think there’s enough time..."

She somewhat regretted challenging the suppression of the shattered spirit veins, wasting quite a bit of strength.

"Worried about what?" Liu Hongzhao noticed how much Lin Yaoyao was concerned and eyed her bracelet, "Use this to recover."

"That’s right!" Lin Yaoyao’s eyes lit up. This thing can be used as an emergency measure but can also be consumed when there’s no emergency.

Slowly consuming it not only recovers strength but also poses no worries. The essence of this thing is the Essence of Life crafted by Zheng Yichen, turned into a crystal.

...

"I wonder how they’re doing." The next day, Zheng Yichen made his way to the Dusk Cathedral. With his home being closer now, he often felt like coming here.

Even just playing with his phone, it’s more comfortable to do it at the Dusk Cathedral than at home, given the calm and peaceful dusk hue that’s truly remarkable.

Zheng Yichen even thought of sponsoring another batch of comfortable public seats, but Tia refused.

When he arrived at the storage cabinet, Zheng Yichen noticed additional items inside and raised an eyebrow. A reply already?

Looking inside, it was mostly messages, but there were a few extra seeds, special tree species cultivated by Lin Yaoyao.

Instead of examining those items immediately, Zheng Yichen first read through the letters. Liu Hongzhao and her team were preparing for their final assault, and these letters were left before they set off...

"Tsk." Placing the seeds into the internal space, Zheng Yichen gave up the idea of taking a stroll and decided to wait here instead.

After visiting the storage cabinet several times, without any new information, he couldn’t help but find Tia: "Can I learn about Liu Hongzhao and their situation?"

"Are you sure?"

"? Yes, I’m sure, but I feel like you’re... livelier?" Zheng Yichen confirmed his question but wasn’t sure about the changes in Tia.

In the past, there wasn’t much interaction with Tia, but the interactions had indeed increased now. The biggest change was in responding to inquiries; Tia was no longer as ’direct’ as before, interspersing other ’questions’ and processes in between.

An old Proxy Agent like Du Gang, with over ten years of experience, never received such treatment.

"It’s because you have garnered more attention from the Dusk," Tia explained, then began to talk about the situation with Liu Hongzhao and the others, "They’re all alive."

"What about anything else?"

Tia looked calmly at Zheng Yichen, "The treatment of Dusk mercenaries differs from that of Proxy Agents. As long as they’re alive, Dusk has a record. When they die, the record changes."

As long as they’re alive, that’s fine.

"I’m all set." Zheng Yichen was still somewhat concerned about this matter, though he walked the path of a Dusk mercenary, which truly meant no micro-level attention was possible.

He’s a Proxy Agent; it’s tough to act alongside Dusk mercenaries.

As Zheng Yichen was preparing to continue waiting for news, Tia added, "You can prepare for the related missions; they’re about to fail."

"Huh?" Zheng Yichen was taken aback, "What’s going on? I’m not that unlucky, am I?"

He just asked a casual question, and now the mission over there is about to fail? And then Dusk wants him to take over. Is this his bad luck or... his bad luck?

Just asking a question makes it fall through?

"This is a normal phenomenon."

"How long do I need to wait?"

"About two days later."

"..." Two days later? Zheng Yichen thought of something and asked, "Does this mean Dusk predicted their failure?"

Tia nodded, "The likelihood of their success decreases over time."

"Then why not let me go over ahead of time?" Zheng Yichen grinned, Dusk having a ’prediction’ function is perfectly normal, but since they predicted some issues, isn’t it better to let a Proxy Agent go ahead?

"When the probability isn’t zero, there’s still a chance of success."

"...Alright, I’ll wait then." Zheng Yichen finished speaking and didn’t linger here any longer; he had streets to patrol.

Beings from the alien world who came to Hazy City used to be a lot more straightforward, and recent news reports have decreased, but there are still new alien visitors causing trouble; some get dealt with even before Zheng Yichen arrives.

Some tough ones are resolved by the Dusk mercenaries.

The targets that actually require Zheng Yichen’s intervention are rare, but when he deliberately looks, he still finds plenty of unfortunate alien creatures.

Those alien creatures that he took care of became Zheng Yichen’s reserves. After Lilith analyzed them, Zheng Yichen would purposefully select phenomena and rush over for a spree lasting two or three hours.

Places he chooses are never pleasant, where Evil Fiends run rampant, and chaos reigns. As soon as he arrives, a battle breaks out. Combined with Lilith’s driving pace, two hours are enough for Zheng Yichen to overturn a bunch of evil strongholds.

What he wants is slaughter. As long as it’s an evil existence, once caught, they can forget about speaking; he’s eager to restore his own state. As for the thoughts of those Evil Fiends that got taken down...

Isn’t it nice to let some evil beings’ plots and schemes fail by chance?

"Ah~ Ha, Awwoo—" Lying by the window, yawning, Tanshia Firlo let out a series of dragon-exclusive calls, the small white dragon looked listlessly out the door, "It’s been two days of killing, and it’s still not over?"

"It must be something very important." Katrina placed a fruit platter beside the small white dragon.

Tanshia Firlo still had that listless expression, "But he’s not taking me with him!"

Katrina chuckled; Zheng Yichen hadn’t been home for two days, but had explained the situation through the Illusory Eye connecting them, so she understood.

This matter concerns Liu Hongzhao and the others, and Katrina felt very sympathetic towards the situation of those three children.

"He might not be taking you now, but you’ll be busy later."

Tanshia Firlo munched on the fruit platter, "Hurry up and come!"

She didn’t feel like the ’vacation’ was too short, as long as Zheng Yichen could take her. Initially, Zheng Yichen wanted to find a helper, yet with Zheng Yichen’s growth, Tanshia Firlo felt her role began diminishing...

Uh, well, it wasn’t ever as imagined in the first place, considering she’s just a young dragon.

Even though her growth rate is fast, growth is still growth; Zheng Yichen’s growth is even faster. She doesn’t want to be just a mascot, although in terms of a dragon’s growth, hundreds of years is quite normal.

But Tanshia Firlo is more concerned with the present.

While talking about Zheng Yichen, he just returned, reaching out to pat Tanshia Firlo’s head, picking up the remaining fruit platter as he began to eat, "Rested up? Ready to go."

Tanshia Firlo looked at the energetic Zheng Yichen and asked, "Aren’t you going to rest a bit?"

"No need, I’m feeling great right now."

"Indeed, you’re looking good..." The Forest Witch Eileena observed Zheng Yichen. Even if he can absorb blood and souls, there still lingered a surplus of slaughter around him.

These auras have no effect on Zheng Yichen and can’t last long on him; it’s hard for them to linger. Given how much has accrued, it’s clear this time, the slaughter was immense.

"Hahahaha, they’re just some Evil Fiends. I’m quite accurate in my judgment in this area." Zheng Yichen said with a laugh. The Extraordinary mental perception from the Great Evil God allowed Zheng Yichen to discern problematic existences almost without error.

To get Zheng Yichen to err, you’d first have to be stronger than him. Which of the demons or Evil Fiends he defeated were stronger than him?

Besides, there’s the exception, like the Dusk nuns; neither Extraordinary mental perception nor Life Perception worked on them. He could sense their existence, but that was it.

Although this time, he just completed Dusk’s assignment not long ago, this was him choosing to go voluntarily, and choosing voluntarily is different from being assigned.

"I’m ready; let’s set off now."

"Follow me." Tia headed towards the world-crossing room. Originally, this matter wasn’t meant for Zheng Yichen, but since he wanted to go, it became his role. As long as the result was what Dusk wanted, it was fine.
