Chapter 252: Chapter 252: Precise 5.036 Kilometers, Left Foreleg Injured

Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong had been training at the squad base for about a week, still groping their way around that skill, when their mission arrived.

It was to eliminate a Fourth Grade Demon Beast that was roaming near the Suburb City.

Although the Ye Family guarded the entire Northern Border, the border was very long, and the military power of Northern Town was limited; it was not possible to cover every spot.

Therefore, in some sparser populated areas, fewer troops were deployed.

And in these areas, Demon Beasts appeared less frequently.

However, Demon Beasts would always show up.

At such times, Northern Town would make countermeasures according to the situation of appearing Demon Beasts.

Generally, if there were few Demon Beasts or the ones that appeared were highly dangerous, a small team would be dispatched to exterminate them. But if there were many Demon Beasts, the military would be deployed.

This time, the mission involved only one Demon Beast, a Fourth Grade one, and the local guards were no match for it, so Xiao Zhan and the others needed to go and exterminate it.

After Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong packed their belongings, they stepped out of their room.

At this moment, the whole team had already gathered.

Xiao Zhan, with little to say, directly boarded the aircraft, leading the team toward Suburb City.

During the flight, Xiao Zhan observed the expressions of the team, sensing that they all seemed tense, as if burdened with worries.

But he did not inquire further, assuming they were concerned about the difficulty of dealing with a Fourth Grade Demon Beast.

Before long, they arrived at Suburb City.

There were no traces of the Demon Beast on the ground; it seemed to be hiding. After Xiao Zhan and his teammates landed, they prepared to go directly to the Demon Beast’s location based on the provided information.

Their current location was a plain, where all that could be seen was a vast expanse of white snow, with no second color in sight.

"Captain, you all wait here, I’ll go scout out the situation," said a member responsible for reconnaissance.

Demon Beasts that lived here usually possessed strong abilities to conceal themselves, and with the vast territory, blindly searching wouldn’t do.

"No need, I’ll do it."

Xiao Zhan stopped the actions of this team member.

The said team member immediately looked puzzled.

You’ll do it?

You’re the captain, aren’t such reconnaissance duties below your station?

And being the captain, who would make decisions for the team if you left?

The team member was greatly baffled and somewhat annoyed.

He had considered the possibility that Xiao Zhan’s leadership might be poor, but never expected it to be this bad – lacking even the most basic common sense and responsibility, unfit for high office, and incapable of bearing heavy burdens.

Hearing Xiao Zhan’s words, the other team members couldn’t help frowning as well, quite puzzled by his actions.

Two of them directly looked to Meng Fei, hoping he would step forward to say something since Xiao Zhan’s decision could affect the life and death of their entire team.

Meng Fei internally sighed about Xiao Zhan. In the week of interaction, he had found Xiao Zhan to be quite clever.

But after this commotion, he began to have his doubts.

However, just as he was about to speak, Xiao Zhan suddenly made a move. A cluster of Death Aura emerged from under his feet and began to spread outwards in all directions, like surging waves.

The speed was utterly swift, catching everyone off-guard.

However, this Death Aura was different in color from the ones Xiao Zhan usually released; it was not the pure black but a faint, hazy gray.

So light that it was several shades paler than the morning fog.

Only in this world blanketed by white could one barely make out that the fog was a grayish hue.

This was Xiao Zhan beginning to use the characteristics of the Death Aura to locate the Demon Beast.

Seeing this spectacle, the team members showed puzzled faces, unclear about what Xiao Zhan was doing.

Meng Fei, who had just been ready to speak, also dared not say anything now, waiting for Xiao Zhan’s actions to end before he dared to utter a word.

The Death Aura continued to expand, covering the ground like carpet, and soon enveloped the entire range visible to the naked eye.

And it kept spreading further into the distance.

The team members couldn’t help but display looks of astonishment.

Although they still didn’t understand what Xiao Zhan was doing, the mere fact that he could control Death Aura to cover such an extensive area already shocked them tremendously.

Is this the terror of a genius?

Each of them held their breath, afraid of disturbing Xiao Zhan.

After a while, Xiao Zhan stopped his movements.

He lifted his head to look at the team and said, "That Demon Beast is located in a cave at eleven o’clock, five kilometers and thirty-six meters away. It seems to be injured and resting; the injury is on its front left leg."

Hisss!

The team members, hearing Xiao Zhan’s sudden disclosure, widened their eyes in astonishment, staring at Xiao Zhan as if looking at a monster.

Just by releasing a cluster of Death Aura, he could determine the Demon Beast’s location?

Precisely five kilometers away in a cave, and he even knew that the Demon Beast was injured on its front left leg?

Is this even human?

Isn’t it more like a scanning machine?

"Ca... Captain, how did you know?" Meng Fei stammered with his question.

Just moments ago, he still thought Xiao Zhan was clueless, only to be proven wrong so swiftly.

Fortunately, he hadn’t spoken out, or else the embarrassment would have been much more significant.

Xiao Zhan, unaware of their psychological turmoil, heard the question and simply said, "It’s nothing. This is quite simple, just an extension of one of my skills."

It’s nothing.

This is quite simple.

Just an extension.

Look, is this even human speech?

You talk about measuring a precise range of five kilometers and thirty-six meters, and you call it nothing?

If what you do is nothing, then what is our method of needing people to physically scout?

Meng Fei was overwhelmed with embarrassment.

He also immediately developed a clearer understanding of the immense power that this new captain possessed.

Just then, their communicators came to life with an urgent message.

"Latest update, according to a hunter witness, that Demon Beast is in a cave about five kilometers in your eleven o’clock direction. Please proceed quickly to neutralize the threat."

It was the voice from the command center.

Hearing this, the team members once again turned their gaze toward Xiao Zhan.

Their look of astonishment had turned into deep admiration.

"My god, Captain, you actually guessed it!" A younger team member couldn’t help but exclaim.

"Will you speak properly? How can what the captain did be considered a guess?"

Another team member slapped the back of his head.

At that moment, the young team member realized he misspoke and, with his head lowered, awkwardly looked at Xiao Zhan.

Guessing five kilometers may be plausible.

But five kilometers and thirty-six meters, could that be a guess?

Wouldn’t that be a joke?
