Skinwalker Belle – Chapter 176 – The Magic City is in Crisis

In the command room, cold sweat soaked Chen Mo’s back.

He tremblingly picked up the communicator, his voice so hoarse it was almost inaudible.

“All… all units.”

“Lower your weapons.”

“Clean up the battlefield… collect the Crystals.”

Lin Fan nodded in satisfaction.

She turned to look at the spectacular pile of corpses behind her, calculating silently in her heart.

Twenty thousand Crystals.

Although they were all low-level, a change in quantity would lead to a change in quality.

After setting aside the ten thousand Level 1 Crystals for Hu Lie, the remaining ten thousand would still contain a good number of Level 2 and Level 3 Crystals.

And…

It would open once every month in the future, which meant that before the Pureblood Dragon Clan discovered the anomaly in Azurewood City, she could obtain a large batch of Crystals every month.

She looked down at her own pair of fair, delicate hands.

This Su Rou skin was even better to use than she had imagined.

“It seems that in the future, the Nine-tailed celestial fox bloodline will have a higher priority than the Dragon Bloodline.”

Lin Fan murmured to herself, a trace of greed flashing in her eyes.

“Power is certainly important, but sometimes, this kind of unreasonable bloodline is the real cheat.”

Just then, Chen Mo’s voice sounded again, tinged with caution.

“Miss… Miss Su, um, you mentioned earlier that you were going to Magic City… Do you happen to know Commander Chu Chen from Magic City?”

Rеαⅾ оn ΚatReαԁiոɡСаfе

Chen Mo’s voice, carrying a hint of cautious probing, came through the loudspeaker.

Lin Fan raised an eyebrow.

Chu Chen?

Of course, she knew him.

That young commander who always had a lollipop in his mouth and looked lackadaisical, but was in fact terrifyingly shrewd.

Last time in Magic City, she had helped them block Long Ningshuang. Although she ended up being pulled into a Rift, it could still be considered saving everyone in Magic City.

“I do,” Lin Fan said flatly. “What’s wrong?”

Chen Mo took a deep breath, his voice turning heavy. “Half a month ago, Magic City sent out an urgent request for aid to all major military districts on Blue Star. Commander Chu Chen said that the high-end combat power of the Magic City forces has been severely depleted, and they are in urgent need of reinforcements.”

Lin Fan’s eyes narrowed.

“Our Chuanxi Military District also dispatched three Level 4 Evolved beings as support, but Magic City is too far from here. With Zombie Birds attacking in the sky, we can only travel by land. Even if they travel day and night, they might not make it in time.” Chen Mo paused. “And according to the latest intelligence from Magic City, the Rift may open in the next few days.”

The next few days.

It seemed the opening times for these one hundred and three Rifts were not exactly the same; there would be discrepancies.

Lin Fan’s fingers tightened slightly.

The combat configuration of Magic City quickly flashed through her mind: the Level 5 strength-type Shi Ming, the Level 4 healing-type Sun Jing, and a group of other Level 4 Evolved beings.

If it was just an ordinary-scale tidal wave of beasts, they could barely hold on with Magic City Base’s firepower and Shi Ming’s strength.

But if another Level 6 Demonic Beast appeared…

Lin Fan recalled the battle with Long Ningshuang.

In that fight, she had used almost all her strength, and in the end, had to rely on her fire elementalization trump card to barely defeat her.

But Magic City currently had no Level 6 combat power. Although Shi Ming was strong, against a Level 6 Demonic Beast…

Even if it was just an early-stage Level 6, he definitely wouldn’t last more than three minutes.

“What else did Chu Chen say?” Lin Fan asked, her tone still calm, but a chill had already risen in her eyes.

Chen Mo hesitated for a moment, but still answered truthfully, “He said that if they really can’t hold on, they will initiate the ‘Scorched Earth Plan’.”

Scorched Earth Plan?

Lin Fan’s pupils constricted.

She had overheard Chu Chen mention it by chance when she was at Magic City Base.

It was a plan jointly decided upon by the commanders of the Federation’s various military units: if a defense zone was completely lost, they would detonate all reserved nuclear warheads, razing the entire area to the ground.

Better to be a shattered piece of jade than an intact clay tile.

But the price was that the land would be turned into a dead zone, with nothing growing for hundreds of kilometers around.

And Magic City was the most important scientific research center and strategic location in the Blue Star Federation.

Once the Scorched Earth Plan was initiated, the Federation’s technological system would cease to develop for at least ten years.

“That guy Chu Chen is really ruthless,” Lin Fan chuckled, but the smile didn’t reach her eyes.

She turned to look at the mountain of corpses behind her, a thoughtful look flashing in her eyes.

Based on the expansion of the Rifts.

The scale of the tidal wave of beasts in Magic City would definitely be far more terrifying than the twenty thousand Demonic Creatures here.

The last time she was there, the number of Demonic Creatures that poured out was close to fifty thousand, and there were also five Level 5 Demonic Beasts and one Level 6 Half-dragon.

This time, the scale might be even larger…

She had to get back as soon as possible.

But before that, she had one more thing to do.

“Commander Chen.” Lin Fan collected her thoughts, her voice returning to that soft, sweet gentleness. “Have your men move faster. I’m in a hurry.”

Chen Mo was taken aback, then immediately understood and gave the order, “All units! Speed up! Finish collecting the Crystals within ten minutes!”

The soldiers on the city wall, as if waking from a dream, rushed down and began to clear the battlefield.

Lin Fan stood where she was, waiting quietly.

She looked down at this body of Su Rou, a hint of helplessness in her eyes.

Although Su Rou’s Skin was useful, its mental control ability was practically unstoppable, a dimensional-level attack against low-level Demonic Creatures.

But it was an incomplete bloodline after all, and was completely inadequate against those of the same or even higher level.

If she really wanted to return to Magic City to fight, she would have to revert to her original body, or even wear Long Ningshuang’s Skin.

But the problem was, Long Ningshuang’s appearance was too conspicuous in Magic City.

The soldiers there had all seen that pair of Dragon horns and long, dark green hair.

Lin Fan frowned.

Constantly changing Skins was really getting troublesome.

Ten minutes later.

Countless Crystals were piled up like a mountain in the center of the battlefield.

“Miss Su, a total of twenty thousand Crystals. They’re all here,” Chen Mo’s voice carried a trace of fatigue, clearly not having fully recovered from the earlier shock.

Lin Fan nodded and waved her hand.

Rеad оո КаtRеаdіոgСаfе

The Crystals instantly vanished into thin air, collected into her Storage Space.

Chen Mo’s pupils shrank.

Spatial Ability?

This fox-clan girl could not only control twenty thousand Demonic Creatures, but she also possessed a Spatial Ability?

What kind of monster was she?

“Thanks,” Lin Fan turned to look at Chen Mo. “You don’t have to worry about the Chuanxi side anymore. When this Rift opens, I’ll come over regularly to clean it up.”

Chen Mo was stunned for a moment, then gave a solemn military salute. “On behalf of all the soldiers of the Chuanxi Military District, thank you, Miss Su!”

Lin Fan waved her hand, saying no more.

“Oh, right.” As if remembering something, Lin Fan looked back at Chen Mo. “If your communicator can reach Chu Chen, help me pass on a message.”

“Please, go ahead.”

A smile touched the corners of Lin Fan’s lips, and her amber eyes glinted with a dangerous light.

“Tell him I’ll handle the tidal wave of beasts in Magic City.”

“Tell him not to be in such a hurry to activate any Scorched Earth Plan.”

“This old lady will be there soon!”

As her voice fell.

Lin Fan’s figure instantly disappeared from the spot, leaving only a faint afterimage.

Chen Mo stood there in a daze, only coming back to his senses after a long while.

“Interesting.” He lit a cigarette and took a deep drag. “Looks like things are about to get lively over in Magic City.”
