85: Wandering God!
Northern China, a mysterious archaeological site.
The area was surrounded by military personnel, with heavy tanks visible everywhere, creating a tense atmosphere.
Even Commander Xu, a Tier 2 Awakened, was urgently dispatched here to guard humanity's last hope.
Lu Yu flapped his wings, bringing Little White Fox down from high in the sky. Their forms grew larger and larger in the eyes of Commander Xu and the others, eventually filling their entire field of vision as they landed.
Seeing Lu Yu again, the pressure on Commander Xu's heart intensified.
In recent days, his strength had greatly improved, yet the stronger he became, the more he realized the unimaginable gap in power between himself and Lu Yu.
Perhaps a single thought from Lu Yu could decide the life and death of himself and everyone here.
"Mr. Lu!" Commander Xu was the first to speak, bowing respectfully to Lu Yu.
Lu Yu glanced at him and asked, "Are there any new updates about the spaceship and the zi xuan crystal?"
Commander Xu shook his head regretfully, "We previously sent out many drones and remote-controlled robots to try and investigate further, but as soon as they entered a hundred meters underground, they were attacked by those black creatures and torn to shreds..."
Lu Yu wasn't surprised. After shrinking his body to roughly the size of a human, he looked at Little White Fox beside him.
An hour ago, when he decided to come here, Little White Fox stopped him, hoping to come along.
Her spiritual sense was very keen; Li Changan and the others were all under her observation, so she also knew about the human discovery of the zi xuan crystal.
She was very worried about the danger and mystery of this area and decided to come along to help Lu Yu.
Lu Yu knew that Little White Fox had a special bloodline and powerful spiritual sense, which could be of great help in investigating the mysterious spaceship, so he brought her.
Under Lu Yu's gaze, Little White Fox slowly opened her eyes. "Brother, I just sensed that those black creatures have identical auras, which is very strange. Their numbers are vast, but their strength is only around E-tier, so the threat level isn't high."
"However, the deeper I tried to probe into the spaceship, the more uneasy I felt, and the greater the consumption of my spiritual sense."
As she spoke, Little White Fox's expression grew more serious and vigilant.
In terms of spiritual sense, she, who had cultivated to the peak of C-tier, was even superior to Lu Yu and could vaguely predict good and bad fortune.
For her to feel danger indicated that what lay beneath was definitely not as simple as it appeared on the surface.
Lu Yu fully trusted Little White Fox and nodded slightly.
Although he had seen the videos sent back by the old professors, he was already somewhat familiar with the archaeological site below.
However, hearing Little White Fox's words made him even more cautious.
Caution is the parent of safety. That was an exceptionally mysterious alien spaceship; one moment of carelessness, and he might not even know how he died.
Little White Fox also understood this well. "Brother, I previously comprehended a method of spirit roaming. I can condense a portion of our spiritual sense, allowing us to personally investigate as if we were there. Even if it's destroyed, it's only a spiritual sense injury that will heal after some time."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yu became even more pleased with Little White Fox and gently stroked her soft fur with his wing.
"You've become truly capable lately. After this matter is over, whatever you want, Brother will grant it to you."
Although he could condense clones with Chidori, that clone could only execute simple combat orders.
It couldn't be controlled as precisely as an arm, nor could it transmit the various scenes it encountered, much less compare to spiritual sense.
Receiving Lu Yu's praise, Little White Fox's cheeks flushed with excitement. She proactively rubbed her head against Lu Yu, greedily inhaling his scent. "Being by Brother's side and helping Brother is my greatest wish."
"You, your little mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter," Lu Yu chuckled.
"I'm just speaking the truth," Little White Fox pouted, expressing her dissatisfaction.
"Alright, Brother knows. From now on, wherever I go, I'll try my best to bring you along," Lu Yu said solemnly.
Only then did Little White Fox nod contentedly. "Brother, you relax first. I'll guide a portion of your spiritual sense out, and then we'll explore together with our spiritual senses."
Lu Yu glanced at Commander Xu and the others, sheltering Little White Fox under his broad wings. Only then did he slowly close his eyes and relax.
With his current B-tier strength, even if he stood there and let them attack, they wouldn't be able to break his defense.
So there was no need to worry about them playing any tricks on him. The only one he needed to pay attention to was Little White Fox. Although she was already a C-tier peak fierce beast, she was far from as powerful as him.
If she encountered a nuclear attack, she could still be injured or killed.
But as long as she was under his protection, that problem could be avoided.
After they both relaxed, Lu Yu suddenly felt a sensation of his soul leaving his body.
A part of his spiritual sense drifted out from his body, and under Little White Fox's skillful hands, it gradually condensed into a small Golden Eagle made entirely of spiritual sense.
Although it was condensed from spiritual sense, it possessed a portion of Lu Yu's strength, more than enough to deal with E-tier fierce beasts.
And Little White Fox, like him, also condensed a nearly transparent spiritual body, floating in front of her.
Commander Xu and the others looked at Lu Yu and Little White Fox's spiritual senses, their expressions growing more solemn and reverent. Such a method could already be called that of an immortal!
With them present, the investigation of the archaeological site would surely conclude successfully and with abundant findings.
Lu Yu ignored their gazes and, with Little White Fox, jumped directly into the sprawling pit.
The lowest part of this pit was where the mysterious spaceship, black creatures, and most importantly, the zi xuan crystal were located.
Because spiritual sense exists between the ethereal and the tangible, it is very light. They quickly reached the underground and then simultaneously looked around, both very vigilant.
Almost as soon as they descended, the black creatures seemed to sense something and moved their long legs, surrounding them.
Lu Yu did not immediately evade these black creatures. Instead, he flapped his wings, and the earth undulated, condensing into an Hand of Earth that protected his and Little White Fox's spiritual senses, isolating them from the dense black creatures around them.
Compared to the physical body, spiritual sense was much more fragile; even E-tier fierce beasts could injure it upon proximity.
Afterward, he continued to unleash Frost Impact. The temperature in the air plummeted, and ice cones fell one after another, striking the black creatures.
Their black carapaces were quite tough, deflecting much of the force from the ice cone impacts, but in the face of absolute power, it was still futile, and they were quickly pierced by the ice cones.
However, with his multiple attacks, his spiritual sense-condensed body rapidly faded, almost to the point of dissipation.
