Dimensional Invasion: I Can Fish for All Heavens

Chapter 55 Tian Shu Bureau, Kunlun Branch: Mist Transformation and Superhuman Strength
About six kilometers from where Ye Xuan was, a five-person team was traversing the glacial canyons of the Kunlun Mountains. They were wearing specially made non-slip boots, leaving footprints on the crystal-clear ice.

"Although my home is in a town at the foot of the mountain, to be honest, this is the first time I've been so far from this location."

A young woman wearing goggles in the group stopped, her breath condensing into frost on her lenses. She looked at the surrounding scenery with a look of amazement.

"The beauty of nature, which has not been created by human development, is so beautiful that it seems otherworldly."

The middle-aged man leading the group chuckled upon hearing this.

"It's only because the spiritual energy has revived now; in the past, we would never have dared to venture this far."

This five-person team is a member of the Kunlun Branch of the Tian Shu Bureau. Because the Kunlun Mountains are so vast and there are so many wild animals living there, there are special "Kunlun Branches" in different areas, which are responsible for monitoring abnormal spiritual energy fluctuations in their respective areas.

They were dressed in the same uniform of the Tian Shu Bureau, with the snow-capped peak emblem symbolizing the Kunlun branch on their left arms.

"Team Leader Qin, based on the comparison of spiritual energy concentration at different times, the spiritual energy concentration in our area has increased by another 10%."

"However, what's strange is that the spiritual energy fluctuation curve within the area is very peculiar."

"For a period of time, a large amount of spiritual energy was converging in one place, as if something was absorbing the spiritual energy."

Lin Rui looked at the testing instrument in his hand, his tone somewhat strange.

It's not a problem that something is absorbing spiritual energy. After all, there are so many creatures in the Kunlun Mountains, and many of them mutate and then absorb spiritual energy on their own. It's perfectly normal.

Haven't they themselves awakened supernatural abilities and instinctively absorbed spiritual energy every day?

But no matter how much you absorb, it shouldn't cause such an obvious phenomenon of spiritual energy converging in one place; just how much can you absorb to show such an obvious spiritual energy fluctuation curve?

After hearing his words, Captain Qin touched the stubble on his chin.

"Could it be that a powerful mutated beast has been born? Or perhaps some medicinal herb or plant has transformed into a rare and precious treasure?"

He could only think of these two possibilities. It couldn't be that some highly talented superhuman was cultivating inside, could it?
Although the concentration of spiritual energy in the Kunlun Mountains is higher than in the city, it's not necessarily much higher. If all else fails, one can cultivate in the village at the foot of the mountain. Who would risk their life to enter the Kunlun Mountains just to cultivate?

"It's more likely to be a mutated beast; rare and precious materials will be fixed in one location."

"This one shows signs of having been moved."

Lin Rui was also more inclined to believe that a powerful mutated beast had been born in their area, because he had detected this special spiritual energy fluctuation more than once, in the past few days, and in different locations.

Even the rarest natural treasures can't grow legs and run away on their own; mutated beasts are clearly a more likely candidate.

As for humans, Lin Rui, like Captain Qin, never doubted this possibility.

Even the possibility of it being a treasure from the heavens is greater than that of a human.

Just as Captain Qin was about to reply, his expression suddenly hardened. From behind the surrounding snowdrifts, seven or eight pairs of eyes, gleaming with an eerie light, slowly emerged; they were the mutated wolves that Ye Xuan had encountered before.

However, unlike the one he encountered, these mutated wolves were only larger than ordinary wolves, and their skin was a normal grayish-brown color. They were not as special as the mutated wolf he had encountered.

Upon seeing the pack of mutated wolves, the five people were not nervous at all; instead, they started joking with each other.

"Hey, we've been walking for so long and haven't encountered many mutated beasts; I didn't expect so many to come all at once; and it looks like they see us as prey."

Team Leader Qin said with interest, then looked at the others.

"How to say"

"One for everyone, and whoever grabs the rest keeps it."

"Captain Qin, how dare you say that?" "You're the captain, aren't you going to show us what you've got?"

“Even within our entire Tian Shu Bureau, only a very small number of people have awakened elemental abilities; let alone the one you awakened, which is the same rock element as Elder Zhong.”

Standing next to Qin, Bai Xiao winked mischievously and smiled at him.

"Yes, Captain Qin, let us see your strength."

"A few mutated wolves? My team, Captain Qin, could easily crush them."

"What kind of team dares to attack my team led by Captain Qin?"

With one person taking the lead, the other four also started teasing Team Leader Qin one after another.

"If you all want me dead, just say so."

"With my rock-based ability that can summon a few rocks, I can only fight two mutated wolves at most. You want all of this for me? Do you think I'm some kind of old man?"

Qin Yue listened to their words and said irritably.

The surrounding mutated wolf pack seemed to be enraged by their relaxed attitude. The lead mutated wolf let out a long howl, and seven figures pounced at the same time.

"You young people..."

Qin Yue sighed and slammed his hands into the ground. The frozen ground in front of him suddenly rose up, forming a two-meter-high stone wall that knocked the three wolves that were the first to pounce away.

"Alright, everyone pick one and practice."

"Listen to my orders, Captain Qin!"

Su Yan was the first to rush out. Her figure suddenly became blurry, shimmering in the snow like water mist.

Her awakened ability is "mistification," which is somewhat similar to elemental abilities, but not strictly speaking, because she can only create mist and cannot control it.

However, during the misting process, she can be immune to all physical attacks, similar to elementalization; however, the duration of "misting" depends on the spiritual power in her body. Currently, unless she consumes all her spiritual power at once, she usually only lasts for three seconds.

But three seconds was enough time for her to fight the mutated beast.

She deftly circled behind a wolf, her psionic dagger piercing precisely into the back of the mutated wolf's neck.

Shi Gang laughed loudly and grabbed the wolf that pounced on him. His arm muscles bulged, and with his "super strength" ability, he was arguably the most powerful member of the team besides Qin Yue.

In his superpowered state, he can easily lift objects weighing two tons.

The mutated wolf in his hands was like a giant doll, swung around and smashed onto the ice, causing the ice to crack in a spiderweb-like pattern.

Bai Xiao's figure left afterimages on the snow. His superpower was similar to Shi Gang's, except that Shi Gang enhanced strength, while he increased speed.

The sharp dagger, amplified by its increased speed, slashed across the mutated wolf's body again and again.

Lin Rui pushed up his glasses and stood still.

His special ability is different from theirs; it simply gave him a pair of excellent eyes that allowed him to predict and see his opponent's attack trajectory in advance.

Although it has no offensive capabilities, it can always avoid the wolf's claws with minimal movement and occasionally even warn its teammates.
