Chapter 542: Chapter 339 Pursuit and Fierce Battle!_2
“2, Flesh Transmutation: You can transform into a Spectral Body, immune to damage for 3 seconds (once every ten minutes).”
“3, Evil Spirits Entanglement: As the battle lengthens, each of the Nether Ghost Creatures you summon will be stronger than the last, until their strength reaches the Nine Layers of the Law Realm.”
So powerful!
Shen Ye’s eyes shone brightly.
If he could broker for the Great Tomb Immortal Country by introducing someone suitable to pass the test, the reward from the Immortal Country was “to advance your existing profession to a new professional level.”
— He would gain a high-level profession on top of “Nether Scout.”
Suddenly, he felt motivated!
With the Heavenly Technique’s formidable power, even the personality battle of the Nine Aspects could be altered.
There must also be some very impressive professions!
“Hey, Paige!”
Xiao Mengyu called out, interrupting Shen Ye’s train of thought.
“The soup is ready, want to try the taste?”
Shen Ye stood up, walked over, scooped up some broth with a spoon, blew on it to cool it, and tasted it.
“The taste is excellent,” he praised, “I don’t know what you foreigners usually eat to be able to make such a delicious soup.”
“We have this back home if you want to try it.” Xiao Mengyu took out a piece of chocolate.
Before the chocolate reached Shen Ye’s hands, it flew out and got caught by the masked lady who looked at it for a moment, then broke off a part and put it in her mouth.
“It’s edible.”
After she finished speaking, the chocolate flew back and landed in Shen Ye’s hands.
“Let’s eat!” Shen Ye called out.
Everyone gathered around and sat together, spooning soup from the pot and swallowing it down with the military rations they carried.
“What did you make?” Nangong Sirui asked with a frown.
“Beef soup with potatoes added,” Xiao Mengyu answered.
Nangong Sirui’s frown disappeared.
“This is good for replenishing physical strength and, along with the military rations, is pretty decent,” Nangong Sirui remarked.
Xiao Mengyu’s cooking skills were good, and everyone was quite satisfied.
Only the masked lady sat to the side, eating nothing and saying nothing.
When everyone was halfway through their meal, she suddenly stood up and spoke:
“It’s a Law Realm Eight strength.”
“Protect Lord Paige.”
“I’ll do the talking.”
Two Great Knights immediately drew out their tower shields, as tall as a man, and protected Shen Ye on either side.
No sooner had they done this than a man on an iron-clad warhorse, wearing a white mask, appeared on the gravel road outside the temporary camp.
“A foreigner?”
The masked lady asked.
“Yes, and you are?” the man asked.
“I am a follower. What brings you to us, any particular reason?” the masked lady said curtly.
Seeing she wouldn’t say more, the man took a moment to assess the group in front of him, then said:
“Don’t misunderstand, please take a look at this first.”
He tossed over a medal.
The masked woman caught the medal, glanced at it, and said, “A medal for honorable reward, earned for killing a thousand enemies, correct. Whose subordinate are you?”
“Viscount Weiss.” The man showed the insignia on his chest.
“Alright, it’s one of us. What do you want to do?” the masked woman inquired.
“Since we’re all headed back to the capital, it’s better to travel together—I hear that Undead Assassins have been frequenting the roads lately, and occasionally monsters from the Great Tomb also appear,” the man explained.
“The Undead Assassins are no big deal, but what we really need to watch out for are the creatures from the Great Tomb,” the masked lady said.
“It seems we agree. Shall we go together?” the man said with a smile.
“I can’t decide on this matter,” the masked lady turned to look at Shen Ye.
The two Great Knights also looked at him expectantly.
The six-person squad was just a Guardian Squad and couldn’t make decisions on behalf of “Saint Paige,” who was tasked by the Monarch for this mission.
“Young man, I am a Law Realm Eight Furious Sand Warrior, and joining up with you for the journey means we can look out for each other on the road. What do you think?” the man held the reins of his horse and asked loudly.
Shen Ye hesitated, about to agree, when he suddenly remembered something.
“Do you know who I am?” he asked.
“Not very sure,” the man answered.
“I am Saint Paige,” Shen Ye said.
“…” Xiao Mengyu.
“…” Nangong Sirui.
“…” Guo Yunye.
— Big brother, what good does declaring a name do?
A Law Realm Eight would hardly be intimidated.
Yet the masked woman and the two Great Knights grew serious.
In such an atmosphere, the tall man on the iron-clad warhorse, wearing a white mask, involuntarily shivered.
After thinking for a moment, he formally introduced himself:
“Greetings, Lord Paige, I am Joseph, a Cavalry Captain under Viscount Weiss.”
“Joseph, I’m on a secret mission and cannot travel with you. I apologize, please go ahead,” Shen Ye said.
The Furious Sand Warrior Joseph was taken aback.
How could the boy so readily decline?
“A secret mission… I wonder if I could be of any help… If needed, I am willing to lend a hand,” he mused aloud.
Shen Ye immediately declined, “No need, it’s a top-secret military operation, which cannot be disclosed to anyone. If you knew, you surely would die by the hands of the Shadow Brotherhood’s encirclement and execution.”
Joseph sat silently atop his horse for a while, before speaking:
“You’re so weak, yet you’re on a secret mission? That’s like courting death.”
This was an interesting remark.
But Shen Ye just laughed, replying:
“I can’t disobey orders.”
“Just don’t regret it later.”
Having said that, Joseph reined the horse around and sped off toward the other end of the road.
Very soon, his figure was out of sight.
Only then did everyone slowly relax.
“From now on, we need to stay alert and not act alone. Be ready for combat at any time,” Shen Ye said.
“Do you think there was something wrong with him?” the masked lady asked.
