Chapter 94

It was truly terrifying!

He He Yingzhuo asked: "Then why is Su Yang fine?"

"Either he is carrying a powerful mental-type pet beast with him, or he has reached the Gold-tier!"

"I have indeed reached the Gold-tier; I haven't had the chance to tell you yet!" Su Yang didn't deny Huo Kun's guess but asked, "Captain, is that enemy... powerful?"

"When it exerted mental control, I couldn't detect anything wrong at all. Its mental ability is above mine; it's very likely a Platinum-tier fierce beast!"

"Then why weren't we controlled?"

"Maybe its main target wasn't us!" Huo Kun frowned as he looked at the closed window, "This is troublesome. The three of them must have been controlled and ran out... It looks like we have to go out there!"

Just then, the speakers on the Worm Train broadcasted another message:

"Hello everyone, I am Wang Hong, the captain of Worm Train No. 1056 and a Platinum-tier beast tamer. I am now issuing a temporary conscription order. All Gold-tier beast tamers on the train, please come to Carriage No. 1 to assemble!"

The broadcast played three times.

Neither Huo Kun nor He He Yingzhuo hesitated and walked straight toward Carriage No. 1.

Su Yang thought for a moment and followed them.

The captain of a Worm Train is generally a field-grade officer and has the authority to conscript all beast tamers on the train for battle when the passengers or the train are in danger.

Because they were staying in Carriage No. 3, Huo Kun, He He Yingzhuo, and Su Yang were almost the first to arrive.

Soon, ten minutes later, seventeen Gold-tier beast tamers had gathered in Carriage No. 1.

Adding the ten Gold-tier beast tamer guards of Worm Train No. 1056, a total of twenty-seven Gold-tier beast tamers were present.

Plus the Platinum-tier beast tamer Wang Hong, who was the train captain, they had gathered the high-end power of nearly an entire base city!

"What exactly is going on?"

"I don't know either. I just saw them running out crazily; I didn't even have time to stop them!"

"It must be mental control!"

"My wife was at the door at the time and was pushed straight out... When will the Worm Train open its doors?"

Not long after, a burly middle-aged beast tamer walked out, wearing a white tight-fitting uniform.

As soon as he entered, everyone quieted down.

"Hello everyone, I am Wang Hong!" Wang Hong used his hand to stop a Gold-tier beast tamer who wanted to speak, "I'll keep it brief. A problem has occurred in the entirety of Qingshang City. I sent a signal to the Qingshang City military department, but they did not respond."

The expressions of everyone present became grave.

Everyone had a very bad guess in their hearts!

"You might not be able to see it, but I see it very clearly!" Wang Hong said with a serious expression, "Qingshang City has been invaded by Illusion Butterflies. Among this group of Illusion Butterflies, there is very likely a Platinum-tier Seven-Colored Illusion Butterfly that is proficient in mental and illusion systems!"

Hearing this, even Su Yang's expression became unpleasant.

Mental and illusion-type skills, when unleashed, are silent and soundless, eerie and unpredictable, making them impossible to guard against.

Not to mention, it was a Platinum-tier fierce beast?

"However, the only good news is that the strongest Platinum-tier Seven-Colored Illusion Butterfly likely hasn't noticed us!" Wang Hong explained, "If it had noticed you, perhaps you wouldn't be standing here!"

If the enemy really was a Platinum-tier Seven-Colored Illusion Butterfly, these Gold-tier beast tamers would probably all die in a daze.

A beast tamer said with an ugly expression: "Then what does the captain mean by having us gather here? It couldn't be that you want us to deal with that Platinum-tier Seven-Colored Illusion Butterfly, right?"

"I hope you will cooperate with me in battle. I must go and see if I can save Qingshang City, and I also need to rescue those passengers. This is my duty!"

"Captain, can you handle that Platinum-tier Seven-Colored Illusion Butterfly?"

"I possess a mental-type pet beast, so I have some confidence. There are two Gold-tier Illusion Butterflies outside; I can take them out, and the remaining Illusion Butterflies won't have much of an impact on you!" Wang Hong continued to explain, "Then I will go deal with that Seven-Colored Illusion Butterfly, and you only need to help me rescue the people... Illusion Butterflies love to consume brain marrow; I'm afraid that if I go too late, those people will lose their lives!"

Huo Kun and He He Yingzhuo both stepped forward, and other Gold-tier beast tamers followed one after another.

Including Su Yang.

In a temporary conscription, they could not shrink back.

If they retreated now, the Huaxia Federation would cause them trouble in the future!

Unless they were willing to stay in the wilderness for the rest of their lives and never enter a city.

The windows of Carriage No. 1 were open. Looking out from the windows, one could still see many passengers standing by the platform, waiting for the Worm Train to arrive.

However, the Worm Train had arrived long ago, which was very abnormal.

Su Yang sniffed lightly, and his expression wasn't good.

He smelled many humans, all sorts of different scents!

The smell of cheap perfume, the pungent smell of tobacco, the spicy smell of various snacks...

Su Yang's Earth Violent Bear never left his side, and the Earth Violent Bear had recently obtained the Rare-tier talent "Sensitive Smell," which had greatly enhanced his sense of smell!

In other words, the Seven-Colored Illusion Butterfly that Wang Hong spoke of could not only deceive human vision but also the sense of smell.

"Ding~ Mission issued: Rescue the passengers taken away by the Illusion Butterfly swarm!"

"Mission reward: Rare-tier Mental Resistance talent, can be designated to a pet beast to receive!"

The system issued a mission again, and Su Yang became somewhat expectant.

He really needed the Mental Resistance talent; being deceived by illusions was truly stifling.

"Get ready, I'm going to make my move!"

"Alright!"

"Mental Shock!"

Wang Hong's eyes instantly turned silver-white.

Su Yang could feel a very slight breeze brush past, but he couldn't see anything.

Soon, the entire world changed!

Outside the window, it was no longer sunny but shrouded in dark clouds.

The passengers who had been standing on the platform with their luggage, dragging their families along, waiting for the train to arrive, were gone.

The noisy footsteps, the clamor, and the hawking had disappeared!

Replacing them were human corpses lying in disarray and scattered white butterflies.

The expressions of all the beast tamers sank.

Those white butterflies were over a person's length, their bodies covered in white fluff, revealing only their heads, antennae, curled proboscises, and those large black eyes.

They also had a pair of huge, milky-white wings.

They were scattered everywhere; some were perched on rooftops, some on corpses, some on utility poles...

Two large butterflies with colorful, iridescent wings, which looked extremely beautiful, were lying on the ground, already dead!

They must have been taken out by Wang Hong!

Su Yang had learned in books that those white butterfly fierce beasts were called Illusion Butterflies!

Those large, colorful, iridescent butterflies that looked extremely beautiful were the aristocrats among Illusion Butterflies, the Seven-Colored Illusion Butterflies, whose growth potential generally reached the Platinum-tier!

[Name]: Seven-Colored Illusion Butterfly (Dead)

[Talent]:

1. Five Senses Illusion (Common); 2. Mental Control (Common).

[Growth Potential]: Platinum-tier High-grade

[Strength Level]: Gold-tier High-grade

[Attribute]: Mental-type, Poison-type

[Skills]:

1. Five Senses Illusion; 2. Mental Control; 3. Mental Shock; 4. Hypnosis; 5. Dream Dust; 6. Mental Sensing; 7. Mental Resonance.

Wang Hong took out a handful of silver-white scales and had his subordinates distribute them to every Gold-tier beast tamer: "These are the scales shed by my pet beast when it promoted to Platinum-tier. They can effectively resist Gold-tier mental attacks and illusions two to three times. Everyone, wear them!"

The Gold-tier beast tamers who received the silver-white scales solemnly put them away, and each of them felt slightly more at ease.

After all, without a mental-type pet beast, they were truly passive when facing powerful mental-type fierce beasts.

"The bloodline limit of Illusion Butterflies is only Silver-tier. Seven-Colored Illusion Butterflies are extremely rare. Even if you encounter one, it can help you resist for a while and buy time to escape... If the scales shatter, it proves you've done your best, and I won't hold you accountable!"

Wang Hong turned to order his subordinates: "Five of you stay behind to protect the passengers on the train. The others, immediately go to rescue the passengers who left the train. I will go find the leader of those Illusion Butterflies. Even if I can't kill it, I can buy you time... If ordinary Illusion Butterflies form swarms and scale, it's best to avoid them; they can combine their efforts to use illusion and mental attack skills!"

"Understood!"

"Alright, let's move out!"

The Worm Train doors opened, and Wang Hong charged out of the train first.

Wherever he passed, all the Illusion Butterflies fell to the ground, losing their breath.
