Capítulo 1654: Chapter 1654: Ho Invasion
“First thing I want to tell you,” Denon looked at He Ao and reiterated, “today’s mission is extrely dangerous, there’s a high possibility you might die during the mission.”
“A mission this dangerous is usually quite important too,” He Ao looked at him, smiling, “that might be exactly the kind of mission I’m looking for.”
Denon raised his eyebrows slightly and then smiled, “Alright, let lay it all out for you. This mission isn’t about capturing so key figure. Well, it could be about capturing key figures, but it’s a bit more ‘complicated’.”
“How complicated?” He Ao asked.
Denon looked at him and spoke slowly, using a voice only they could hear, “We’re going to directly launch an assault on the Anomaly Sect headquarters to see if we can take out their core personnel in one fell swoop.”
He Ao: “Huh?”
Sui, who was packing dolls: “Huh?”
He Ao had anticipated that Denon was planning sothing big, capturing key figures was just a cover, otherwise things wouldn’t be so secretive. He had guessed this, which is why he was eager to enhance his abilities, but he hadn’t expected Denon’s plan to be this enormous.
“I’ve been at this for many years, not without doing anything,” Denon shook his head and took out a tablet from his chest, handing it to He Ao, “I’ve already figured out the location of the Anomaly Sect headquarters long ago, just waiting for an opportunity.”
“Does Ryanke know about this intel?” He Ao took the tablet, instinctively asked.
“He knows so,” Denon sighed slightly as he ntioned this, “but he only knows I’ve captured so key figures of the Anomaly Sect and extracted so intel from them. He doesn’t know that I’ve completely figured out the location of their headquarters.
“Of course, originally, I didn’t plan to take action so early. My plan was to prepare for another two months, and once everything was ready, go directly in to take out the Anomaly Sect. By that ti, many people would know.”
He looked at He Ao and smiled, “But for now, only and the chairman know the exact intel, and soon I’ll tell you.”
“Are just the two of us going to assault the Anomaly Sect’s headquarters?” He Ao looked at him, raising an eyebrow slightly.
“No, there are others,” Denon shook his head, “I’ve already arranged a team, they’re all trustworthy. I’ll inform them of the specific actions when the operation begins.”
He sighed lightly, “In fact, the current operation does seem a bit rushed. It’s likely that the Anomaly Sect knows I have intel on their headquarters, but given the situation, we have to make use of so unconventional strategies.”
He looked at He Ao and smiled, “Anyway, in a sense, it’s a sudden event for us as well as for the Anomaly Sect. That’s the aning of ‘raid’.”
“Using Surprise Troops?” He Ao looked at him and spoke slowly, “But just by us alone? The Anomaly Sect has existed for so many years, what if there’s sothing beyond our understanding?”
“Things beyond our understanding are naturally dealt with by entities beyond our understanding.” Denon smiled and spoke slowly.
Angels to deal with Angels.
Indeed, there are Angels in the Abnormal Association.
He Ao raised his head and looked at Denon, “So what do you need to do? With your main force? You ca to see separately, seems like there’s another arrangent?”
“Yes,” Denon smiled, “currently, besides , no one knows you’ve arrived at Vilensis. We can take advantage of this.”
“So you want to be one of the ‘Surprise Troops’ too?” He Ao looked at him.
“Yes,” Denon nodded, “but I still have to tell you, if you choose this path, it will be very dangerous.”
“Alright,” He Ao nodded slightly, “tell what I should do.”
Denon glanced at He Ao without saying much more, instead, he directly reached out, opened the tablet in He Ao’s hand, and explained softly, “The Anomaly Sect headquarters is not in the real world, but in Anomaly 002: Dusk Wilderness.”
“Anomaly 002?” He Ao raised his head, sowhat surprised, and looked at Denon.
“Yes, they’ve placed their headquarters in a level zero anomaly, which is why we’ve never been able to find their headquarters over these years,” Denon looked at He Ao and smiled, “now you know the danger?”
“It’s okay,” He Ao said casually, “I’ve entered a level zero anomaly before.”
Denon was slightly stunned and then realized, He Ao did indeed just erge from Anomaly 003, Sky City, and even survived the seemingly certain-death outskirts of Sky City.
The youth before him cannot be judged by common sense.
At this mont, He Ao was flipping through the docunts on the tablet, sowhat perplexed, “If they can use this Dusk Wilderness as a base, does that an there’s actually a stable way in and out?”
“Yes.” Denon nodded and took out a black dagger from his chest, its blade resembling a slender feather, and a secret silver test tube containing a blue elixir, placing them on the table, “These two are the ‘tools’ for entering the Dusk Wilderness,”
He picked up that black dagger, “This is a dagger made from Raven Feather. At dusk, use this dagger to cut your finger and drip blood on the dagger,”
Then he picked up the test tube with blue elixir beside him, “This is the blood of the Courtyard Giant Snake. After the blood soaks the dagger, drink this blood, which will put you in a dazed state. Once your spirit recovers, you’ll successfully enter the Dusk Wilderness.”
He pushed both items towards He Ao, “Courtyard Giant Snake and Ravens are species found in the Dusk Wilderness.”
“Doesn’t this look unsafe?” He Ao picked up that blue blood.
Under his gaze, the blue blood seed to sense sothing as well, wriggling slightly.
“It looks so,” Denon shrugged, “but how many transcendent things look safe? I’ve tested it, when used alone, it has strong hallucinogenic effects, putting consciousness into chaos, probably used to et so abstract entry conditions. Those from the Anomaly Sect are pretty clever sotis, finding ways like this.”
He lowered his head and swept past the dagger and blue test tube, “But I’ve tested it and successfully entered the Dusk Wilderness with these two items.”
“Alright,” He Ao looked at the dagger and test tube, “so these are for ?”
“Yes,” Denon nodded, “I have many sets of this equipnt, and this set is yours.”
“Okay,” He Ao put away these two things and continued to ask, “Then what? After entering the Dusk Wilderness?”
“Simply put,” Denon explained, “we’ll split into two groups. I’ll lead the main force to directly attack their headquarters, and you’ll take a secret route to their core. If they’re overwheld by us from the front, they might escape through this secret route.”
“I can then conveniently catch them?” He Ao looked at him, contemplating.
“Yes, apart from the Archbishop in the Anomaly Sect, only the Archbishop Deacon is B-level. I’ve pinpointed his location, so I’ll intercept him. You should be facing so core mbers, mostly C-level,”
Denon looked at He Ao, “You can handle Ryanke, overcoming these C-level ones shouldn’t be a problem, but the secret path is extrely dangerous, requiring strong ntal resistance, otherwise, a single mistake could lead to death in the anomaly. Very dangerous.”
“Alright, I got it,” He Ao nodded slightly, looking at Denon, “Did you think about having do this task the mont you saw this morning?”
“There’s no other choice,” Denon laughed, “You defeated Ryanke, proving your strength. You traversed Sky City, proving your strong will and ntal resistance, and you ‘unexpectedly’ appeared in Vilensis, no one anticipated your appearance. I couldn’t find anyone more suitable than you.”
“Alright, stop praising , if you keep going, I’ll be flying,” He Ao looked at Denon and asked, “Do I need to leave anyone alive?”
“Depends on the situation,” Denon spoke softly, “Prioritize completing the task. I’ll try to control the key figures. Those who reach you, alive is better, dead doesn’t matter. What’s important is not letting anyone escape.”
“Okay,” He Ao nodded and looked at Denon, “Tell the specific rules of the Dusk Wilderness.”
“Okay.” Denon nodded solemnly, sliding the tablet, and began to quickly narrate to He Ao.
······
The dusk deepened, sunlight gradually fell into twilight.
He Ao looked at the empty seat in front of him.
After Denon quickly explained the rules to him, he left to organize manpower. Now, he was the only one left here.
Besides the feather dagger and the blood of the Courtyard Giant Snake, Denon also left behind a silver plate, which was to deal with a certain rule of the Dusk Wilderness.
He Ao placed the silver plate in front of him, then took out the two Life Elixirs Denon gave him and placed them on the silver plate.
Three million for one elixir, so six million for two.
Denon didn’t take his money, saying it would be deducted from the bonus, but even after deduction, not much would be left, probably just a small amount.
He Ao picked up one of the elixirs.
Three million.
A regular skilled adult laborer earns a weekly salary of about two to three hundred, with so cities experiencing more “layoffs,” possibly earning only a bit over two hundred, while others with higher competition or specialized positions earn over three hundred.
Of course, the wages given by the Nolanka Group are slightly higher, and those who are outstanding can even earn over five hundred.
Even calculating at a weekly salary of three hundred, that’s a monthly salary of twelve hundred, and an annual salary of around fifteen thousand.
Three million federal coins, which would take two hundred years of living without spending, to earn.
This was bought by Denon at a “half-price” discount.
Being Transcendent indeed costs money.
He took a slight breath, gazed at the test tube, pulled out the cork, and let his Divine Sense imrse within. The test tube indeed lacked “Qi,” nor did it hold a Soul; the power inside was surging and fierce, seemingly extracted from the flesh of an exotic beast, and it indeed was a semi-finished product.
However, the energy density was very high; an ordinary Transcendent might explode instantly upon intake and would need to drink it bit by bit.
But He Ao did not care about this and directly lifted the test tube, downing the entire liquid in one go.
The surging power exploded in his mouth instantly.
But for just an instant, these forces were quickly guided to his limbs and bones under his Divine Sense, rging to form new Qi, new Divine Sense.
His skin vaguely tore under this surging force, oozing bright red drops of blood.
The dense pain, as if thousands of ants were biting, spread through He Ao’s heart.
Then, in the next instant, He Ao directly used Vestara’s Spear to enhance the ‘restoration’ rule, suppressing the signs of tearing.
He Ao lifted his head, looking at the personal attribute panel, where the numbers of his physical fitness began to jump rapidly at this mont.
After about ten or so minutes of variation, finally, this number stabilized at 2100.
One test tube increased the physical fitness by 470.
These three million were quite worth it; Denon indeed bought it at half price.
Without hesitation, he picked up the other test tube and drank it in one go.
His recently healed body began to tear once again.
At the sa ti, his physical fitness began to grow rapidly once more.
Another ten or so minutes passed, after the number exceeded 2500, the rapidly changing number suddenly slowed down, and after two or three minutes, it only increased by 1 point.
Eventually, the number stopped at 2509.
This ti, it only grew by 409.
The energy contained in the two test tubes differed, but not by much.
He Ao felt the changes in his body; he could vaguely perceive that his physical fitness had reached a limit.
A physical fitness of 2500 was already stronger than so of the weaker B-level Transcendents.
But He Ao vaguely rembered that when his main body was stuck at the Martial Arts C-level limit, the physical fitness seed to be over 3000.
He raised his hand and glanced at the gradually healing wound on his palm.
Is it a talent limitation?
Below C-level, the differences in Martial Arts talent are not obvious, but after reaching C-level, the gap gradually widens, and breaking through from C to B level, the gap becos even more significant.
At the sa level, the difference between different talents can be huge.
Reaching B-level, the difference between talents may widen further.
Perhaps this might also affect the power of the Angel ford upon a breakthrough.
Shaking his head to dispel these thoughts, He Ao turned his gaze outside the window.
The daylight has completely dimd, with dusk about to set in.
He Ao glanced at the wristband, still no ssage received.
Denon had said he would send a ssage when the action starts, and it was about ti.
He Ao picked up the doll-like Sui, who had been sneakily observing the surroundings, and placed it on his shoulder, walking out of the café.
At this mont, his physical body had reached its limit, but it still lacked a bit of “refinent” and “realm.”
His current realm is that of B-level. If going by the content of the Martial Arts Manual, with a bit more energy, He Ao could forcibly break through.
However, his self-created cultivation thod requires bit by bit infusion of Divine Sense into the body, which is slower yet safer with a higher success rate.
As they say, there’s more margin for error.
But given He Ao’s body and experience, this “refinent” won’t take long, it will be sorted soon.
He Ao completely left the café, walking into a narrow alley.
“Ah, ah, ah, I’m suffocating,” the Sui on his shoulder imdiately began to exclaim.
She couldn’t speak while pretending to be a doll.
He Ao chuckled, raised his hand to check the wristband’s contents.
Denon had sent a ssage to him.
