Skinwalker Belle – Chapter 174 – Is This Blue Star?

Blue Star, Chuanxi Plateau Defense Base.

On the metal walls that soared into the clouds, the cold wind stung their faces.

“Old Zhao, when do you think this life of ours will ever end?” a young soldier said to the veteran beside him, rubbing his hands together and letting out a puff of white breath.

The man called Old Zhao was in his early forties, his face etched with the hardships of time. He glanced at the Spatial Rift in the distance, which hung in mid-air like a giant scar, and spoke in a flat tone.

“What’s so bad about it? Compared to our brothers in the Demon Capital and the Capital who risk their lives every day, this place is practically heaven.”

The young soldier pouted. “Heaven? Staring at this thing all day, killing some low-level trash that doesn’t even have a brain. I’m about to get rusty.”

“You should be content,” Old Zhao said, patting his helmet. “The other side always sends some riffraff over to just go through the motions. We rarely even see a level-four Demonic Creature. You should be secretly glad you’re in a military region with such low risk.”

“That’s true…”

As the two were chatting, a piercing alarm suddenly blared throughout the entire base.

“Wooo— Wooo—”

Old Zhao’s expression turned serious, and he immediately grabbed the weapon beside him.

“They’re here! All personnel, attention! To your battle stations!”

On the walls, thousands of Chosen One soldiers moved swiftly, the muzzles of various heavy weapons aiming in unison at the violently fluctuating Spatial Rift.

In the command center, a middle-aged man with the rank of colonel on his shoulder stared at the surveillance screen, his brow slightly furrowed.

“Reporting to the commander, the Rift’s energy fluctuation is double the usual!”

“Double?” A trace of doubt flashed in Commander Chen Mo’s eyes. “Did the other side take the wrong medicine? Why are they trying so hard?”

He pressed the communicator, his voice steady and powerful. “All units, attention. Do not let your guard down! Prepare the artillery. When they come out, give them a heavy beating!”

“Yes, sir!”

The words had just fallen when the membrane of the Rift shattered like a broken mirror. Countless bizarrely shaped Demonic Creatures surged out like a flood released from an open dam.

“Fire!”

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

Dense artillery fire instantly covered the Rift’s exit, the light from the explosions illuminating the entire plateau’s night sky as if it were day.

However, the number of beasts in this tidal wave of beasts far exceeded any before.

“Report! The number of Demonic Creatures has surpassed ten thousand! And it’s still increasing!”

“Twenty thousand! It’s already broken twenty thousand!”

“They’re all low-level Demonic Creatures below level three, same as before. Logically, there shouldn’t be such a high energy fluctuation.”

Chen Mo’s expression grew increasingly grim. “What the hell is going on? Don’t tell me the other side is actually sending high-level Demonic Creatures over?”

Just as everyone’s attention was completely captivated by this massive tidal wave of beasts, no one noticed an intangible, yet delicate and immense Mental Strength, silently blanketing the entire battlefield like a spring rain.

The soldiers who were firing frantically suddenly felt their hearts relax, as if their agitated emotions were being soothed by a gentle hand.

“Strange… why do I feel… not so nervous anymore?”

“You feel it too? I thought it was just my imagination.”

Even Chen Mo in the command center noticed the abnormality.

He felt that his mind had never been so clear. The chaotic sounds of gunfire and roars on the battlefield seemed to have become orderly.

“What’s happening?” he murmured to himself.

Just then, a soldier responsible for Mental Strength detection suddenly let out a cry of alarm.

“Commander! We’ve detected… an unidentifiable, massive energy source! Right at the Rift’s exit!”

“What?” Chen Mo abruptly looked up at the screen.

At the artillery-blasted exit of the Rift, just behind the endless torrent of Demonic Creatures, a petite figure slowly walked out.

It was a girl.

A girl in a light cyan dress, with long hair of interweaving dark orange and pure white, and a pair of fluffy fox ears.

She looked no older than sixteen or seventeen, with a slender figure and skin fairer than snow.

On that hellish battlefield, she was like a snow lotus untouched by dust, fragile and pure.

Her amber eyes held a perfect touch of timidity and curiosity as she sized up this brand-new world.

For a moment, the entire battlefield fell into an eerie silence.

All the soldiers who saw this scene subconsciously stopped firing.

“What… what is that?”

“Is it a person? Or… a new Demonic Creature?”

“How can there be such a… such a beautiful Demonic Creature?”

Chen Mo’s pupils contracted abruptly. He stared intently at the petite figure on the screen, his heart pounding wildly.

Something’s wrong!

This is too wrong!

All Demonic Creatures, after passing through the Rift, would fall into their most primitive killing instincts, frantically attacking any living thing.

But this Fox Clan Girl not only didn’t attack, but even the Demonic Creatures passing by her began to cease their attacks and prostrate themselves on the ground.

She was like a phantom, walking amidst the tidal wave of beasts, yet transcendent of it.

“All units!” Chen Mo grabbed the communicator, his voice hoarse from extreme shock. “Cease fire! Everyone, cease fire!”

The order was given, and the fierce artillery fire came to an abrupt halt.

Without the suppression of the artillery, the twenty thousand Demonic Creatures let out a sky-shaking roar, but miraculously, they did not continue their attack.

But not a single soldier paid attention to them.

Everyone’s gaze was locked firmly on the Fox Clan Girl who had walked out of the Rift.

Under the countless tense, bewildered, and shocked gazes, Lin Fan stopped.

She raised her head, looking at the towering metal walls and the humans on them, who were holding weapons with tense expressions.

She knew that her “hunting game” was only just beginning.

These twenty thousand Demonic Creatures were her bargaining chip in her deal with Hu Lie, and also the resources she would use to strengthen her subordinates.

Not a single Crystal could be wasted.

Therefore, she first needed these soldiers to lower their weapons.

She took a deep breath, a frail and helpless expression appearing on her face, and slightly parted her tender pink lips.

A crisp, soft voice, carrying a trace of uncertainty and nervousness, was amplified by her Mental Strength and clearly transmitted to the ears of everyone on the battlefield.

She was speaking the purest Dragon Country language.

“Excuse me…”

“Which military region of Blue Star is this?”
