Tempest of the Stellar War

The sharp, alloy bayonet effortlessly pierced through the Mist Killer’s skull and into the brain. However, the expected scene of blood spurting everywhere didn’t happen. All they heard was the sound of something being punctured, and suddenly, the huge head deflated like a punctured basketball. Xie Yuxin twisted his bayonet and saw a strange bug, about the size of an infant’s fist, struggling for awhile on the bayonet before dying.

Before everyone could clearly identify the strange bug, more Mist Killers appeared, crazily roaring while charging out from the white mist.

The sight of hundreds of them charging out made three of the weakest member in the team nervous, and this was not something they could control.

Suddenly, the Thorn Forest, which was originally peaceful, sensed the nervous emotions and suddenly grew alive. Countless thistles started moving like Medusa’s snake hair, and were magically waving in the air.

“Calm down, these Mist Killers are being controlled like zombies, and they are of no threat to us. Meng Tian, freeze the thistle’s ability to sense us! After that, control everyone’s emotions. Mengha, do what you need to do. Yuan Jing, follow me.”

Xie Yuxin’s cold voice stabilized everyone’s emotions, and what helped to further stabilize their emotions was the countless strikes by Xie Yuxin’s bayonet. One after another, the Mist Killers that charged towards him fell at his feet. The only special thing about these creatures was their lack of fear of death. As long as they remained calm, it was not hard to kill them. They should only be worried about messing up by letting the bloodthirsty thistles join in the battle- that’s when they would face true danger. Xie Yuxin knew that it was the large group that allowed these creatures to track their scent.

“Ge Ping, follow tight. I’m going to try to break through, keep up with me.” Yuan Jing brought in another member with him to join in the fight. The scene was like bringing a gun to a sword fight; there was not a single Mist Killer who could get near him.

Meng Tian moved to the back. Facing the awakened thistles, the cold ice turned into a stream of energy, causing the area around her to be cold. This reduced the activity of the thistles and caused them to be less sensitive to spiritual fluctuations.

At the same time, Mengha was standing in front of the three members that had triggered the thistles’ attack. “Calm down, don’t move recklessly, and if you can’t do it, just lie low on the ground!”

Clearly, Mengha was unwilling to do something like this. However, Xie Yuxin’s reasoning made sense. In this team, he was the most handsome and the most eye-catching, which was the easiest way to grab their attention.

In the end, Men agreed to this, as he was responsible for the rear. At his current position, he couldn’t support Meng Tian any time soon.

As the heart rates of the three members calmed down, alongside the interference of the cold, the magical thistles unwillingly calmed down.

In the main battlefield, after killing dozens of Mist Killers, the Mist Killers finally retreated.

However, the mist did not dissipate – it slowly spread throughout the forest.

“Don’t zone out. Change to multi-functional goggles and we will move out after resting for ten minutes.”

Xie Yuxin’s faint voice sounded as if he had just had his afternoon tea. He was observing everyone’s conditions spiritually. Their conditions were not considered to be good. Ge Ping’s wound from yesterday had opened up again. Even though they were at the point where they could no longer advance, the ten minutes of rest time was meant for him.

Amongst the white mist, a pair of cold, blue eyes was watching everything that was happening in the forest.

At the same time, the white mist that hid the Mist Killers did not only appear where Xie Yuxin and the rest were.

Hidden behind the dangers of the Thorn Forest was opportunity, and numerous teams would find their opportunities.

In actuality, the luck of Xie Yuxin and the rest was not bad, as the Mist Killers were made from failed experiments and corpses, and the bugs that controlled them were a new type of brainworm experimental product that could use either the living or the dead as a host. The strength of the Mist Killers depended on the host’s strength when they were alive. The rest might not have known, but Xie Yuxin’s ability allowed him to know what was happening. If it was a puppet with no consciousness, it would be something even he could control. However, this was something he could no longer control. The Sacred Religion was indeed evil. Even on the Oracle Star, it opened his eyes to the extent to which they would go to for research and to obtain strength, as well as a range of experiments, which was terrifying. From technology to ancient arts, including Ability X, and even occult science, the power of prediction, as well as others.

Fear?

It was something that Xie Yuxin did not possess. There were plenty of times where he was not even interested in life. Him and Wang Zheng were opposites of each other. Wang Zheng was passionate about life, whereas Xie Yuxin is simply disinterested. He liked to explore dangerous places.

In the white mist, Xie Yuxin and the rest managed to evade deadly encounters one after another. When the opponents were manageable, they would fight them. For other encounters, Xie Yuxin and the rest would constantly be moving. Sometimes they would even move throughout the different areas. Xie Yuxin gradually earned the trust of the rest. If not for him, even with Earth-rank fighters would have turned into one of the Mist Killers. Thinking about how the bugs would dig deep into their brains made them shudder in fear.

A trace of surprise flashed in Yun Hai’s eyes. Due to specific arrangements, they had managed to evade danger. Even for the few encounters, those they encountered were normal rank Mist Killers. If this occurred once, it could be due to chance. For the second time, it could be luck, but if it occurred thrice…

Ability X user? It could be due to that.

As their gazes flickered, thicker white mist swept toward Xie Yuxin in larger amounts…

When the Mist Killers charged out of the second wave of mist, Xie Yuxin’s expression finally changed. His prediction was no longer effective. To be more accurate, he was too striking, and someone was clearly targeting him!

From the start till the end, Xie Yuxin did not feel that everything in this forest was natural. To put it simply, this was just an experiment by the organization behind all of this. They were simply pawns, and if their chances of survival were simply up to luck, they had to struggle to survive.

Suddenly, everyone was in a fierce battle, with no means of retreat available for them. The white mist surrounded them, preventing them from escaping.

“Group up! Defensive formation!”

Shen Liang was slow by one step, and dozens of Mist Killers surrounded him. All they heard was his cry, and no one could see what had happened to him, as more Mist Killers surrounded them.

Kill. Kill. Kill…

Even in a situation as chaotic as this, Xie Yuxin kept his cool and continued giving out commands. His commands were quick and precise. In the team, there were experts as well, but Yuan Jing and Mengha were no longer making their own judgments, but were following Xie Yuxin’s commands. Together with Meng Tian’s control over the situation, and Xie Yuxin’s incisiveness, they managed to fend off the attack.

The Mist Killers proficient in physical techniques were faced by Yuan Jing and Mengha. These Mist Killers were the real threat. If you attacked these high ranking Mist Killers mindlessly, you would be seeking death.

Yuan Jing and Mengha’s bodies had bloody wounds everywhere. Yuan Jing’s condition was worse – had taken a direct blow on his forehead. It was fortunate that his defense abilities were shockingly high. His opponent, with its energy spent, had stuck knife on his head, while the Mist Killer was blown to pieces by Yuan Jing’s one punch.

Kill. Kill. Kill…

This was indeed a chaotic battle, and after an hour long battle, the team miraculously survived.
