Chapter 987 - 502: Civilization Curiosities, The Mermaid Grew Legs (2)

The Guardian curiously inquired, "Canglan Ghost, are you planning to use this thing to deal with knight-level Black Sand Sea creatures?"

Yang Fan grinned and didn’t hide anything, "Yes, knight-level poisonous ants played a crucial role in the ant plague. I suspect they serve as commanders, so I plan to hunt one knight ant."

The Guardian glanced at the Centipede Overlord under Yang Fan’s feet and suddenly felt inexplicably humble.

Yang Fan finally nodded to his opponent and slowly sank into the sand.

The Guardian stood still for quite a while, heaving a sigh.

The Canglan Ghost broke through the second barrier less than two months ago and dared to hunt knight-level poisonous ants.

Whereas he has been a knight for over twenty years and has faced Black Sand Sea knight-level creatures no more than ten times.

The Guardian muttered, "Daring to challenge formidable opponents, is this the reason for the rapid ascent of Canglan Ghost?"

*

Canglan Star.

Great Xia Capital.

Inside a certain underground base.

The mysterious guest Miss Jana has not surfaced from the pool for quite some time.

If not for the electronic devices possessed by this Mermaid generating high traffic every day, the people in this base might have thought something happened to Miss Jana.

Three in the afternoon.

The base’s commander, Colonel Du Lanshan, routinely checked the data records of the Mermaid.

He flipped through it for a while, muttering, "Miss Jana seems very interested in the North Island war, she’s been watching war reports for the past three days."

Colonel Du remembered that on the first day of the war, Miss Jana accessed the three-dimensional holographic data of the Space Maze, and then did not access new data for a long time, clearly showing her interest in the Space Maze.

Since the Mermaid is a distinguished guest of Great Xia and has provided immense help to the Great Xia people.

Needless to say, without the valuable information provided by the Mermaid allowing Great Xia to mobilize comprehensively, in the early Age of Calamity, at least millions more Great Xia people would have died.

Therefore, most of Great Xia’s secrets are always fully open to Miss Jana.

This is the Great Xia people’s attitude towards distinguished guests.

Colonel Du scanned through the Mermaid’s browsing records and casually opened a battlefield live video.

This video included participation from Spirit Crows.

Up to now, a total of sixty-two Spirit Crows have participated in the battle, among them, twenty-eight are Warrior level.

The best performing Spirit Crow among them wasn’t the renowned Liu Hei or the famous Fire Crow, but rather—the Ice Crow.

Its rank was sixty-eight, initially called Hei Liu Shiba, later awakened Ice Superpower, and was renamed Bai Liu Shiba.

Two months ago, it successfully ascended to Warrior level, underwent a transformation, and each feather on its body looks as if carved from ice, thus many people began calling it Ice Crow.

In the video.

Ice Crow, like lightning, swooped down from the sky, skimming close to the ground.

Where it flew by, within a hundred meters radius, a thin layer of white frost instantly appeared on the surface of all poisonous ants.

Although just a thin layer of frost, the speed of dozens of poisonous ants dropped more than tenfold suddenly.

A dozen high-energy stream bullets rained down, exploding loudly, causing bright rays to burst open, piercing most of the poisonous ants like a sieve.

Two Canglan Eagles flew over, starting to clear the ground using spiritual energy machine guns.

"Tatatat!"

The penetration of spiritual energy bullets is fearsome, soon turning the surviving poisonous ants into minced meat.

Without a doubt, Ice Crow was the biggest hero in this battle.

In terms of lethality, its Ice Superpower isn’t particularly outstanding, but it possesses extremely strong slowing effects.

Combined with spiritual energy firearms, it becomes the perfect match, achieving exceptionally impressive results.

Colonel Du turned off the video and softly sighed, "Staying at the base every day really isn’t exciting, I really want to apply for a transfer to the North Island battlefield."

Two years ago, this colonel would never have thought this way.

Back then, the base was a place of focus for the highest levels, being the base commander was quite prestigious.

Then, with the rise of Mr. Ghost and Mr. Spirit Crows, Great Xia had its own top-tier powerhouses, naturally reducing the reliance on Miss Jana quite a bit.

Even General Lou, the bigwig of the Great Xia Military, visited less and less frequently.

It inevitably brought about a feeling of desolation from the "deserted courtyard".

Honestly, such a disparity is somewhat difficult for any normal person to accept.

Colonel Du also casually checked today’s casualty data.

"North Island war’s third day casualty statistics: 846 dead, 2145 injured.

"Among them, Great Xia soldiers dead: 184, injured: 472; foreign soldiers dead: 662, injured: 1673."

Compared to yesterday’s death toll of 352, today’s as yet unfinished data clearly appears much more brutal.

Colonel Du couldn’t help but curse loudly, "Lan shi People are damn big fools!"

Today’s death data, half of the credit belongs to a supposedly ’elite’ unit from the Lan shi Kingdom—the Blue Lion Special Air Service Group.

This unit proclaimed itself as "Canglan Star’s first modern special forces", very prominent.

During task allocation, the command center assigned the Blue Lion Special Air Service Group to the less dangerous Space Island No. 212, letting them acquaint themselves with the battlefield environment.

But the Lan shi People refused.

This barmy lot thought Space Island No. 212 had too few poisonous ants, and actively requested to go to Space Island No. 65, hoping to acquire more spoils.

The command center advised for a while, but the Lan shi People obstinately insisted, forcing the command center to agree.

As a result, the Blue Lion Special Air Service Group’s 400 soldiers, riding in invisibility helicopters developed by the Lan shi Kingdom, excitedly entered Space Island No. 65.

Only ten minutes passed and this foolish lot rashly underestimated the enemy and advanced, chasing after a few poisonous ants, resulting in them charging straight into an ambush.

The command center immediately dispatched two Spirit Crows to rescue, managing to retrieve 6 Blue Lion special forces from the poisonous ants’ clutches, preventing total annihilation.

Rumor has it that among the Lan shi People rescued, two were so frightened that they wet their pants, still dripping water when descending from the Canglan Eagle.

Just then.

"Beep! Beep!"

An alert sounded suddenly.

This signified unusual activity in the underground "Jana Flower Pool" where the Mermaid resides.

A military officer immediately shouted, "Report! Miss Jana has emerged!"

Colonel Du immediately turned his head towards the big screen, instantly seeing an absolutely stunning face slowly surfacing from the water.

Though seen many times before, such a breathtaking beauty never fails to leave the colonel somewhat dazed.

"Splash!"

The pool surface rippled with waves.

Colonel Du recovered his senses and said, "Miss Jana hasn’t appeared for 26 days, right?"

A nearby officer replied with a "Hmm", providing a more accurate number, "Last appearance was 26 days and 13 hours ago."

Colonel Du picked up the communicator, cleared his throat before speaking respectfully, "Miss Jana, is there anything you require?"

On the screen.

Miss Jana glanced at the camera but gave no response, instead floating upward faster.

The Mermaid’s long hair emerged first, with no trace of water lingering on its surface.

Her full curves revealed themselves next, transmitting a breathtaking beauty.

Her attire was unexpectedly not the usual shell-stitched breastplate but a traditional Great Xia styled white embroidered Hanfu.

Though she is of mysterious race, true beauty looks stunning in anything, this style carrying its own charm.

Colonel Du couldn’t help but be dumbstruck.

A second later.

Miss Jana emerged entirely from the water.

She wore a pink pleated skirt, the hem flowing down to the water, beautifully embroidered with cloud patterns.

The Mermaid suddenly laughed.

Her laughter was indeed like a hundred flowers in bloom.

Colonel Du stopped breathing.

Miss Jana gently opened her lips and asked, "Where is Mr. Ghost? I would like to speak with him."

After finishing her words, she stepped forward on the pool water.

Colonel Du’s mind rang with a "boom", rendering him utterly dazed.

Because he vividly saw a white foot emerge beneath the pink pleated skirt.

What the heck!

Miss Jana’s lower body is a fish tail, how did a foot suddenly appear?
