149: The dumbfounded captains

“That’s pretty much how it went.”

Liu Yang, parched from explaining everything, immediately grabbed a cup of water and gulped it down.

From the start of the operation until now, he hadn't had a single drop of water and was incredibly thirsty.

“So, the Earth Fairy and Storm Fairy won’t be able to come out for a while, then?”

Guan Ningyan looked at Liu Yang with a joyful expression.

Liu Yang nodded, sighing, “That’s how it is for now, but I’m afraid it won’t last much longer!”

“Since this operation was thwarted by Captain Liu, there won’t be another chance next time.”

“Once bitten, twice shy. Next time, they’ll definitely guard it strictly and won’t give anyone a chance to get close.”

“They might not even reveal any information, opting for a secret operation instead!”

While Liu Yang and the others were discussing, the Fairy Queen had already returned to the temple.

Watching the healing spells being cast by several Forest Sprite Elders, she shook her head.

At this speed, it would take ages to heal everyone.

“Group Healing Spell.”

The Fairy Queen raised her staff high, and dark green light bloomed within the temple.

Under the illumination of the light,

a group of heavily injured Elders saw their wounds begin to heal at a visible rate.

Before long, the fallen Elders successively got up from the ground.

“Thank you, Queen, for healing us!!!”

“Thank you, Queen, for healing us!!!”

“Thank you, Queen, for healing us!!!”

Each time a Fairy Elder stood up, they sincerely thanked the Fairy Queen.

Then, with a look of shame, they stood to the side, silent.

With so many Elders, they hadn’t even seen the enemy’s face.

If the Fairy Queen hadn’t intervened and redirected some of the impact, some of the Elders would probably be dead by now.

“Alright, I was also careless this time. I didn’t expect humans to find this place.”

“And what surprised me even more was that even after I intervened, the opponent still managed to escape.”

“Spatial skills are so hard to acquire; I didn’t expect the opponent to have them.”

“This is the person’s appearance; all of you remember it clearly. If you encounter him, be careful.”

“Also, notify all Fairies that as soon as they see this person, they are to report to me immediately.”

“Now, all of you may leave. I need to carefully examine the seal.”

The Fairy Queen did not blame anyone and frankly admitted her carelessness.

Then, after giving orders to the Elders present, she had them leave the temple.

“Yes, Queen.”

The Elders bowed slightly and then turned to walk out of the temple.

Once all the Elders had left, the Fairy Queen began to meticulously inspect the sealing array.

“Damn it!”

“I originally thought it would take at most a month to recover, but it turns out the situation is much more severe than I imagined.”

After casting a few spells, the Fairy Queen frowned deeply, then became furious and enraged.

“It will take roughly two months before it can be unsealed again. That damned human ruined my plans.”

“It seems the plan to release the Earth Fairy and Storm Fairy will have to be postponed. I can only think of a way to release other Fairies.”

The Fairy Queen sighed, feeling distressed.

One must know that lifting the Fairy race’s seal was no simple matter.

Besides finding the location of the seal, one also needed to understand the condition of the sealing array.

After all, if the seal were easy to remove, it wouldn’t have been sealed in the first place.

“It seems I need to have my people kill more humans and then seek aid from the Fairy Goddess.”

“As for here… I can only abandon it for now.”

“Liu Yang, you’re finally back. How was it? Was it successful?”

After chatting with his team members, Liu Yang found Shen Yansheng.

At this moment, most people in the base were gone, except for a few on duty.

“Successful, everything was successful!”

Liu Yang nodded with a smile.

“However…”

As soon as Shen Yansheng heard Liu Yang say “successful,” he was instantly delighted.

But as soon as he heard “however,” his heart immediately tightened.

“However? However what?”

“Although it was successful, I estimate it won’t last long!”

Upon hearing this, the other Captains also looked grim.

“How long can it be delayed?”

“I’m not sure, but ten days to half a month should be fine.”

Liu Yang couldn't say exactly how long it could be delayed.

However, judging by the situation at the time, he felt that delaying it for two weeks should be achievable.

“That’s good then. A half-month is enough time to do many things.”

“By the way, shouldn’t we release the team members from Home now?”

“Captain Liu is back; there’s no point in them staying inside anymore.”

Liu Yang’s scouting mission wasn’t without preparations.

Everyone in the base was ready to support Liu Yang.

If Liu Yang was in danger, they would rescue him, no matter how many lives it cost them.

This was something that had been discussed and agreed upon before the operation.

Moreover, they had all prepared the Fengyun Bounty Order, just waiting for Liu Yang’s notification.

They hadn’t expected Liu Yang to return so quickly.

Of course, this was a cause for joy.

In retrospect, Liu Yang now found the previous preparations amusing.

Perhaps this was the fearlessness of the ignorant!

“The Fairy Queen’s power has exceeded our expectations.”

“It’s a good thing everyone didn’t go together. If we had, only a few would have made it back.”

Looking at the relieved expressions of the others, Liu Yang said with a serious face.

“What? Is the Fairy Queen very strong?”

“It’s not a question of strong or not, but invincible.”

“According to the detected information, the opponent is currently severely injured, her level is as high as 80, and her comprehensive attributes are close to 9000. Do you think she’s strong?”

Before the operation, Liu Yang generously helped several Captains create some mid-level detectors.

Of course, the materials were provided by them; Liu Yang wasn’t that generous.

After all, some of the materials were quite rare.

“Level 80?”

“9000 comprehensive attributes?”

Upon hearing this, everyone was immediately dumbfounded.

You see, even a Fairy Elder only had 3,000 to 4,000 comprehensive attributes.

And even then, there were only a few people in the entire base who could break their defense.

9000—this was a number they couldn’t even imagine.

Against such an opponent, even if she stood still, they would die of exhaustion before they could hurt her!

“It seems our plan needs to change. We absolutely cannot confront her head-on.”

“Yes, if we encounter the Fairy Queen, whoever does will basically die.”

“Not basically, but certainly.”

Liu Yang continued, “The Fairy Queen also excels in spatial attribute skills. If you encounter her, even using spatial attribute items, you probably won’t escape.”

“My escape this time was due to her carelessness.”

“But after this, she will surely learn her lesson and won’t give anyone another chance to escape.”

“Then what should we do? Is there no way to deal with her?”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.

In the face of absolute power, all schemes and tricks are futile.

To deal with the Fairy Queen, one cannot do without strength.

Only with supreme strength will it work.

Moreover, just one person probably won’t be enough; many people must work together.

Because the opponent can use all-system skills, she is too unpredictable and mysterious.

No one knows if their skills will be countered.
