Chapter 251: Mythic Five-Sense Illusion Art! Constructing a Perfect Illusory World!

Xu Jiutian patted the Azure Cloud Eagle's feathers reassuringly, telling it not to feel too wronged.

Comforted by Xu Jiutian, the Azure Cloud Eagle felt much better, flapped its wings, and flew ahead of the main group again.

After bypassing more dangerous ferocious beasts, Su Yang led his ten emergency squad members out of Mount Yandang.

Seeing vast fields of farmland and scattered villages, the ten emergency squad members all relaxed.

After spending over ten days navigating Mount Yandang, their nerves had been tightly wound.

Back at the emergency squad camp, stepping onto solid cement ground, every squad member smiled.

Su Yang asked the gate guard soldier: Zhu Xiaoshuang had already returned.

He told the other squad members: "Go rest. I'll report to the captain!"

"Got it!"

The squad members left; Su Yang knocked on Zhu Xiaoshuang's office door.

"You're back?" Zhu Xiaoshuang set down her papers the moment she saw Su Yang. "How was the journey? Safe?"

"Narrow escape, went smoothly—mission completed, no casualties!"

"Good, good!" Zhu Xiaoshuang nodded. "For beast-capturing missions, completing them isn't crucial—what matters most is avoiding casualties. Every Gold Mid-Grade Beast Tamer is precious to our emergency squad."

"Mm."

"By the way, you might get busy soon!"

Su Yang asked curiously: "What happened?"

Zhu Xiaoshuang sighed helplessly: "Deputy Captain Shi ran into trouble."

"What kind of trouble?"

"While leading a beast-capturing mission, he encountered a Star Radiance-tier flying ferocious beast. He suffered heavy injuries and is still in the hospital, but no life threat—thanks to his desperate protection, only one squad member was lost."

Su Yang fell silent.

In fact, during their deep incursion into Mount Yandang, the Storm Eagle had spotted several Star Radiance-tier ferocious beasts.

But those Star Radiance-tier beasts either just passed through, or were spotted early by the Storm Eagle, allowing Su Yang's squad to evacuate in time.

The Divine Eagle Eye is truly practical in wilderness environments.

After the Jiacheng Defense Battle, Deputy Captain Shi's beast companion likely hasn't been fully replenished—his strength probably hasn't recovered yet.

"I understand."

"Rest for a few days. I've already asked the military to locate a suitable ferocious beast gathering spot."

"Mm! I'll give it my all!"

Leaving Zhu's office, Su Yang returned to the barracks. As soon as he entered the camp, he saw a massive Black Forest Python coiled in the central square.

Over a dozen emergency squad members surrounded the Black Forest Python, their eyes gleaming.

Xu Jiutian proudly patted the python's hard scales: "Look at this—my haul! Isn't it impressive? Su Yang said: big is good! Big is beautiful! Big is awesome!"

The emergency squad members exclaimed enviously:

"Old Xu, you got lucky—how'd you even find this?"

"This Black Forest Python looks tough and durable!"

"Yeah, bonding with it might make you safer too!"

"..."

Most emergency squad members were male.

They had three passions: beast companions, women, and bragging!

Xu Jiutian grinned: "What's this? I'll tell you—almost everyone in our squad got big hauls. Ask the others—they all have ferocious beasts that are huge and strong... Chen Ke, show everyone your Giant Strength Python!"

Xu Jiutian then recalled the Black Forest Python.

The other emergency squad members turned to Chen Ke, who calmly revealed his Gold Mid-Grade Giant Strength Python.

This made the other Beast Tamers even more envious!

Chen Ke smiled: "Su Yang's Storm Eagle has sharp eyes—he had it specifically search for big ones. Almost everyone in our squad has ferocious beasts larger and stronger than normal for their level!"

One squad member agreed: "Bigger is better—the bigger, the stronger!"

In truth, larger size doesn't always mean stronger.

But under most circumstances, this standard still holds.

One squad member asked: "Did you encounter danger when you went deep into Mount Yandang?"

Chen Ke shook his head: "No, it was safe—even injuries happened only during beast capture."

"I envy you so much—I wish I'd gone with you."

"..."

Su Yang returned to his room, lay on his bed, and didn't want to move.

Leading his first mission, enduring over ten days in Mount Yandang, sleeping outdoors and eating on the go, his nerves had stayed taut.

Now back at the barracks, exhaustion hit him instantly.

He drifted off into a drowsy sleep.

When he woke, his spirit had improved considerably.

Then he remembered the mission reward.

He could now upgrade one of his beast companion's talents by one level.

Su Yang preferred upgrading a Legendary-tier talent—raising it one level would make it Mythic, greatly boosting the beast's power.

Currently, the Legendary-tier talents were the Earthquake Bear's keen sense of smell and the Seven-Colored Illusion Butterfly's five-sense illusion art!

After a brief hesitation, Su Yang chose the Seven-Colored Illusion Butterfly.

The Legendary-tier sense of smell was already very powerful—he didn't urgently need to improve it.

"Ding~ Your pet, the Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly, has upgraded its Extreme-Grade Five-Senses Illusion to Mythic Grade!"

"Ding~ Your pet, the Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly, has enhanced its innate talent; its growth potential has risen from King-Rank Mid-Grade to King-Rank Top-Grade!"

Five-Senses Illusion (Mythic Grade): The pet's ability to wield Five-Senses Illusion is greatly enhanced, affecting and altering the enemy's sight, hearing, touch, smell, and taste, and capable of constructing a flawless, perfect World of Illusions tailored to the enemy's mind.

A flawless, perfect World of Illusions tailored to the enemy's mind?

Su Yang released the Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly.

After ascending to Gold Grade, the Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly had grown larger; when fully spread, its wings filled most of Su Yang's room.

But compared to the other Gold-Grade Seven-Colored Illusory Butterflies he had seen in Qingcheng, this one of his still appeared somewhat small!

The Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly lay on Su Yang's bed, its large black eyes quietly watching him.

Su Yang stroked its two antennae; they immediately retracted—quite sensitive.

"Come on, let me experience the Five-Senses Illusion—build a world I want!"

The Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly nodded.

Su Yang lay on the bed and closed his eyes.

After a subtle surge of spiritual energy, when Su Yang opened his eyes again, he stood on a bustling street, filled with traffic and crowds.

He saw various familiar yet strange shops, internet cafes, giant posters, massive LCD screens, and well-known celebrities.

He touched his face—the mask was still on.

He pulled out his phone, hailed a taxi, and the taxi followed the familiar road.

He pulled the key from his pocket and slowly opened the door, seeing that familiar, warm back figure…
