142: Encountering the Obsidian Team, an undercover agent was planted.

Secret Realm No. 2500.

The night was inky black, with sparse starlight.

Outside the valley, a group of black-clad figures wearing vertical-eyed masks moved silently.

They were members of the Black Radiance Battle Team, affiliated with the World Purifying Society's Vast Sea City branch.

To seize the black soil, the Black Radiance Battle Team had been lurking outside the valley for two days.

The valley contained a massive number of Black-Winged Locusts, which were extremely sensitive to the scent of flesh and blood.

They dared not approach rashly, so they could only set up a Formation outside the valley.

They intended to use the power of the Formation to annihilate the Black-Winged Locusts swarm.

The risk of exposure during the day was too great, so they could only choose to act under the cover of night.

"Great Master Mo, how much longer?"

Looking at the busy figures in front of him, the captain, Black Eye, quietly asked his subordinate.

Great Master Mo was the chief Formation Master of the Vast Sea City branch, responsible for overseeing this Formation.

The most crucial main Formation pattern was personally inscribed by him.

For some unknown reason, Black Eye's eyelid kept twitching, and a faint sense of unease rose in his heart.

They had already delayed for two days in this place; if the Federal Army discovered them, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"It will be completed by tomorrow night!"

The subordinate responded in a low voice, also understanding the captain's concerns.

The Federal Army's garrison in Vast Sea City was strong; once they were exposed, a devastating blow would await them.

"Tomorrow night..."

Black Eye's brows furrowed tightly.

"Notify Great Master Mo to speed up!"

"Yes, Captain!"

...Meanwhile, at the entrance of the valley.

Lin Xingyu and his group also arrived here.

"Brother Xingyu, it's right here."

Wang Chiyao whispered.

According to the intelligence provided by the Explosion Bee, this valley was precisely the habitat of the Black-Winged Locusts.

Under the moonlight, the valley ahead resembled a slumbering giant beast.

Thick miasma slowly flowed at the valley entrance, and a few corroded exotic beast skeletons were faintly visible.

"Let's begin."

Lin Xingyu nodded slightly.

Wang Chiyao lightly waved her arm, a spatial rift quietly opened, and dense Net Spiders surged out like a tide.

Although these Net Spiders were not large, they moved swiftly.

They silently crawled into the valley, nimbly moving through the grass.

Soon, a Net Spider discovered a Black-Winged Locust hanging on a branch.

"Whoosh—"

With an almost inaudible whoosh, a strand of spider silk accurately hit its target.

The sleeping Black-Winged Locust merely twitched its wings slightly before being firmly wrapped up.

More and more Net Spiders began to act.

Under the control of the conqueror mecha, they moved like well-trained soldiers, freely traversing through the Black-Winged Locusts swarm.

Some Net Spiders were responsible for spitting silk to bind, while others laid trap nets in key positions.

Occasionally, a Black-Winged Locust would awaken and fly up, only to crash into a trap net, instantly unable to move.

Everything was proceeding in an orderly fashion... Suddenly, Lin Xingyu noticed a large number of information boxes appearing in the distant grass, moving towards them.

Black Eye.

Rank: Fourth Rank Nine Star.

...Note: Captain of the World Purifying Society's Black Radiance Battle Team.

"Be careful, there are people over there!"

Lin Xingyu whispered a reminder, simultaneously activating his "Area Isolation" ability to envelop this area, preventing the Black-Winged Locusts from being disturbed.

The star ray shuttle then flashed out, speeding towards the opponents... When Lin Xingyu and his group arrived at the valley entrance, they were detected by the Black Radiance Battle Team.

Black Eye, relying on the super vision granted by his a-rank spirit seed, took in every move of Lin Xingyu and the others.

They were clearly here for the black soil.

A powerful Summoner in the team could even summon Puppet Spiders, which happened to counter the Black-Winged Locusts.

Seeing that the prey was about to be snatched away by the opponents, Black Eye immediately couldn't hold back.

He decided to launch a sneak attack while the Puppet Army was deep in the valley and the opponents' defenses were weak.

However, they were discovered before they could even get close.

"Kill!"

Black Eye gave the command, leading his subordinates to launch a fierce assault.

The two sides instantly clashed... The star ray shuttle moved rapidly through the crowd, each flicker taking away an enemy.

With a wave of Wang Chiyao's hand, a swarm of Explosion Bees surged out, attacking the enemies.

"Boom boom boom—"

Violent explosions rang out one after another, sending enemies flying.

Wang Ledian and Li Hongyang followed closely, engaging in close-quarters combat with the enemies.

In just one encounter, the Black Radiance Battle Team suffered heavy losses.

Seeing this scene, Black Eye's expression changed dramatically.

He had originally intended to quickly defeat these few people with a numerical advantage.

However, he hadn't expected each of the opponents to be more abnormal than the last; a battle team of over a hundred people was actually at a disadvantage against four.

Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, Black Eye injected his spiritual power into his eyes.

An invisible wave emanated, striking Lin Xingyu and the others.

At the same time, a System prompt sounded in Lin Xingyu's mind.

"Ding! The System has detected that the host is under Mental Control and has automatically activated countermeasures!"

Mysterious runes flashed from Lin Xingyu's eyes, transforming into a stream of light that entered the top of Black Eye's head.

"Ding! Countermeasure successful! Congratulations to the host for acquiring a Slave!"

Lin Xingyu was slightly stunned; he hadn't acquired a new Slave in a long time.

He hadn't expected someone else to walk into his trap this time.

"Captain!"

Looking at Black Eye twitching on the ground, the Black Radiance Battle Team members were terrified.

Their captain possessed an a-rank spirit seed and specialized in Mental Control.

Even if he couldn't control the enemy, he could interfere with their actions, and such a situation had never occurred before.

In just this short time, several more team members had been killed.

"They're too strong, we can't win!"

"Retreat! Retreat quickly!"

Under successive blows, the Black Radiance Battle Team's morale collapsed, and they scattered and fled.

"Where do you think you're going!"

Wang Le shouted, and the "Curse of Misfortune" was cast.

Various unexpected situations followed one after another, and the Black Radiance Battle Team's speed instantly dropped.

They were quickly caught up by Lin Xingyu and the others and cut down... After the battle, Lin Xingyu called Black Eye over.

"Master!"

Black Eye knelt on one knee.

After enduring agonizing torment, he had recognized reality and no longer dared to harbor any thoughts of resistance.

"Black Eye, I have a mission for you to complete."

Lin Xingyu looked at Black Eye, a plan forming in his mind.

"Your subordinate is willing to go through fire and water for Master!"

Black Eye lowered his head and said loudly.

Lin Xingyu smiled slightly and explained the plan:

"You don't need to go through fire and water; you just need to return to the World Purifying Society and continue to serve as the captain of the Black Radiance Battle Team..."

...Half an hour later.

Black Eye led his surviving subordinates and fled into the distance.

These were the people responsible for perimeter security and protecting the Formation Masters; they had not participated in the battle just now.

Due to the effect of "Area Isolation," they were unaware of everything that had happened inside.

Lin Xingyu and the others cooperated with Black Eye to put on a show, sending him back to the World Purifying Society as an undercover agent.

"How was it? Didn't I act well!"

Wang Chiyao put her hands on her hips, looking proudly at the fleeing figures of Black Eye and the others.

For the sake of the act, she had deliberately used a heaven-obscuring pearl to give herself an exaggerated appearance, full of Aura.

"Oh come on, your acting was too exaggerated, did you learn it from those drama series!"

Wang Ledian pouted, a look of disdain on his face.

"That kind is too old-fashioned; it's not popular anymore."

He projected the scene from just now with his wristband and began to criticize it.

"Hey, hey, that's called exaggeration... Wait, why did you record it?"

Wang Chiyao's face flushed, and she moved to snatch the wristband.

The two immediately started bickering.
