Meanwhile, at a temporary frontline base.
The news of the arrival of the human Scorching Sun spread rapidly among the lower-ranking soldiers through the communication channels.
"Did you hear? It’s Lieutenant Qin! That Scorching Sun!"
A new recruit, his face covered in gunpowder smoke, lowered his voice, but his eyes shone with excitement.
"He’s come to the frontline!"
"Really? He’s... he’s really at the frontline?" The veteran beside him, with his arm wrapped in a bandage, suddenly lifted his head, a look of disbelief flashing in his cloudy eyes. "I heard he’s an Assassin of Followers, specializing in hunting those powerful follower creatures!"
"The command center announced it! It’s confirmed—Lieutenant Qin!"
A technical sergeant looked at the refreshed orders on his portable terminal, his voice trembling with excitement.
"He’s in the no-man’s land! He’s going to break through the pollution zone’s defenses for us!"
"As expected of the Scorching Sun..."
Qin Shi stood in the no-man’s land, not deliberately hiding his presence.
The field of platinum Scorching Sun naturally expanded, covering a hundred meters around him like a bright lighthouse in the dark night.
Energy fluctuations spread unrestrainedly, as if declaring to the entire pollution zone: he is here.
Real-time intelligence from Long Qiuyuan arrived:
"Boss, the target has entered the preset area. They’re cautious, lingering on the edge, seemingly confirming if there’s an ambush."
Qin Shi calmly responded:
"There’s no ambush, just me."
His gaze swept across the seemingly dead silent scorched earth, and his spiritual sense extended outward like invisible tendrils, cautiously probing.
Sure enough, several massive and obscure wills lurked at the edge of his perception, carrying greed and cold murderous intent, like sharks hiding behind the rocks.
They think they are the hunters, carefully approaching a lone prey.
Little did they know, the "bait" in their eyes, is waiting for them to bite.
"The first one who couldn’t hold back has come." Long Qiuyuan warned.
From the left front, space suddenly shattered! Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn nοvelfire.net
A massive shadow attacked—Deep Diver Rosso!
"Tsk, here it comes."
Qin Shi’s eyes narrowed, and the platinum Scorching Sun suddenly contracted, concentrated at his fist!
Facing the gigantic maw that blotted out the sky and eight legs spanning hundreds of meters, he punched out!
The power condensed into a "real" form, no longer mere energy impact.
Where the punch landed, space seemed forcibly compressed and solidified by an invisible force!
The field imbued with chaotic aura was vaporized, decomposed!
Qin Shi’s fist solidly connected with one of Rosso’s descending long legs!
The leg, as heavy as a mountain, exploded apart, collapsing inward and shattering like it was caught in a hydraulic press!
When the field condenses into a real form, the destructive and devastating power Qin Shi can unleash is greatly enhanced!
"Boss, the ’target’ that appeared first is Deep Diver Rosso, possessing the innate ability to wander the void, with very tenacious Life Force."
Long Qiuyuan’s voice carried a serious tone.
"The ’target’ lurking in the dark, based on the analysis of energy fluctuations, is judged to be the Insightful Kazan. It has an extremely special spiritual attack, dragging opponents into the abyss of despair.
The third one hasn’t been detected at the corresponding frequency, impossible to determine."
From the rear right, a deafening roar filled with violence and rage resounded!
Along with the roar, the sky suddenly darkened. It wasn’t clouds but a thick, inky curtain rolling with countless faces of wailing agony, swiftly descending to envelop everything!
An overwhelming sense of despair permeated, as if intent on dragging souls into an eternal abyss of darkness.
The platinum Scorching Sun of Qin Shi was instantly covered, his field eroded and compressed, showing obvious cracked marks.
"Deep Diver Rosso and the Insightful Kazan, they are the most prominent follower creatures on the front line! Boss, do you need support? The command center and the Governor’s Mansion only agreed for you to have a pressure test, but the pressure seems a bit excessive now."
Long Qiuyuan began to worry.
"Support? Not needed."
Watching Insightful Kazan descend from the sky, and Deep Diver Rosso launching another assault, Qin Shi grinned.
He tightened his grip on the Perfect Electric Shock Saber, platinum light streaming across the blade, becoming brighter and more tangible.
"The bait is fragrant enough, the big fish will take the hook."
"Now, it’s time to reel in the net."
"Let’s see... which one is the fish being caught!"
The platinum Scorching Sun erupted within Qin Shi, its dazzling light pierced through the Despair Domain, shooting straight into the sky!
