Chapter 252

When Su Yang woke up, tears still clung to his eyelashes.

He murmured, "What a perfect world—so perfect I didn't want to wake up!"

But after this experiment, Su Yang finally understood the Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly's ability to construct a Perfect Illusory Realm.

The Perfect Illusory Realm it constructs targets the soul directly!

This illusion has almost no flaws; everything feels utterly real.

It can trap those with weak wills in its illusory world, making them unable to break free.

"If I wanted a few beautiful women, could you also create a dreamworld for me?"

The Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly tilted its head and looked at him.

Just then, Su Yang heard the Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly's mental communication.

The Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly told him that if he simply thought of it in his mind, it could create a Perfect Illusory Realm for him!

"I'm just joking! I'm just joking!"

Su Yang immediately backed down!

He wasn't that much of a fantasist!

During lunch in the mess hall, many members of the Seventh Squad warmly greeted Su Yang.

Su Yang could feel his status had risen significantly.

After resting in camp for two days, Su Yang was drafted again by Zhu Xiaoshuang.

"Thirteen squad members want to capture Black Gold Armor Spiders!" Zhu Xiaoshuang said directly. "The military has provided us with three Black Gold Armor Spider nests. Shi You hasn't returned, and I have other teams to lead—this time, I'm counting on you!"

"Fine!"

Su Yang didn't refuse.

He had already prepared himself mentally.

Gold Armor Spiders are agile, excel at leaping, and possess eight razor-sharp leg-blades—they're excellent close-combat companion beasts.

Most importantly, they're widely distributed across southwestern China and live in colonies.

Colonial Gold-Rank ferocious beasts are quite rare.

One mission could solve companion beast problems for a large number of Emergency Squad members.

Like the Mighty Python, they're solitary creatures; unless it's mating season, they're hard to catch.

He could also kill Gold-Rank ferocious beasts along the way to boost his strength.

"Ding~ Help thirteen Emergency Squad members capture thirteen Gold-Rank Black Gold Armor Spiders!"

"Reward: The host may designate one companion beast to allow it to awaken a skill matching its innate talent!"

Hearing the system task, Su Yang was again delighted.

But this reward was unusual—it allowed a companion beast to awaken a powerful skill.

Ferocious beasts and companion beasts alike mostly learn skills through constant battle.

Experts believe these skills originate from their bloodline and must be triggered through combat.

The more skills a companion beast learns, the better!

With good luck, it might even awaken a particularly powerful skill.

Like the Earthquake Bear's Power Burst!

After accepting Zhu Xiaoshuang's task, Su Yang soon met the thirteen Emergency Squad members.

Among them were Xu Jiutian and Chen Ke—they looked like they'd lost at least two Gold-Rank companion beasts in the last battle.

"Captain Su!"

"Hello, get ready—we depart in half an hour!"

"Yes!"

Five minutes later, all thirteen Gold-Rank Beast Masters were fully prepared and stood before Su Yang.

This level of coordination surprised even Su Yang!

After all, regular Emergency Squad members are usually loosely managed.

But seeing their enthusiasm, Su Yang was pleased.

After registration, Su Yang boarded Xu Jiutian's Azure Cloud Eagle and headed for the Black Gold Armor Spider nest.

This time, the destination was not Mount Yandang.

With the Storm Eagle's aerial reconnaissance, they flew for seven days before finally reaching the first Black Gold Armor Spider nest.

They descended a kilometer from the nest. One Gold-Rank Black Gold Armor Spider wandered too close—Su Yang didn't hesitate, leapt onto it, and punched it dead in one blow.

"Ding~ Your companion beast, Earthquake Bear, killed a Gold Mid-Grade Black Gold Armor Spider! Experience + 10 million!"

"Captain!"

"Captain, why did you kill it?"

"Yeah, Captain!"

"..."

Su Yang shrugged, "This Black Gold Armor Spider couldn't even take one of my punches—it's useless. Won't help improve your combat power!"

Everyone exchanged glances and fell silent.

Su Yang's brute strength couldn't even be endured by Rock Armor Rhinos… how much less a Black Gold Armor Spider?

Soon, nearby Black Gold Armor Spiders, drawn by the noise, rushed over.

All were crushed beneath Su Yang's fists.

The others, witnessing Su Yang's violence, dared not speak.

He was simply too strong!

Even Gold High-Grade ferocious beasts couldn't withstand Su Yang's casual punch!

After killing over twenty Black Gold Armored Spiders, just as everyone thought Su Yang would keep killing, he suddenly pointed at one and said, "That one—look at that one, that one looks good!"

Everyone looked over—it was an ordinary Gold High-Grade Black Gold Armored Spider, with nothing special about it.

Just like the other Black Gold Armored Spiders dead at Su Yang's hands.

Su Yang reminded them, "Look—when its blade legs move across the cliff wall, don't they dig in deeper?"

Su Yang could see the detailed stats of ferocious beasts and knew the Black Gold Armored Spider's innate talent—he could naturally reverse-engineer it!

That Black Gold Armored Spider possessed the ordinary "Sharp Blade Legs" talent, but with stronger attack power.

One squad member observed closely and indeed spotted something unusual.

"Either it's heavier than other Gold High-Grade Black Gold Armored Spiders, or its blade legs are sharper—who wants it?"

"Captain's vision is truly excellent!"

"But it seems like it's trying to escape!"

"It's scared of the Captain!"

"…"

Su Yang laughed, "Don't worry—he won't get away!"

A Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly appeared beside him.

Su Yang pointed at the Black Gold Armored Spider sprinting away along the cliff wall and told the Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly, "Bring it over—no mental domination, just illusion!"

The Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly nodded.

Then everyone saw the Black Gold Armored Spider, which had been fleeing, spin twice in place before running back toward them.

"Who wants it!"

"I'll take it!"

Xu Jiutian stepped forward.

"Everyone else, step back!"

When the Black Gold Armored Spider reached Xu Jiutian, Su Yang ordered the Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly to dispel the illusion.

Xu Jiutian released the Black Forest Python, which cooperated with the Azure Cloud Eagle to easily subdue the Black Gold Armored Spider.

Perched on the tree canopy far from the Black Gold Armored Spider, the group saw many more clustered near the nest entrance.

Su Yang pointed at the nest entrance and said, "That one—the one crouching on the rock—I think it's strong!"

"Captain, how did you figure that out?"

"It's standing higher, looks proud—there's spirit in its eyes!"

"But they're so close to the nest—we might get surrounded if we approach, and they might flee!"

Su Yang turned to the Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly hiding behind the tree trunk and said, "Bring that Black Gold Armored Spider on the rock over here!"
