Chapter 1368: Chapter 1368

1368: Chapter 1354: Heading North 1368: Chapter 1354: Heading North “Star Solo’s Ghost,” an unknown mercenary from a rather famous mercenary company in a certain great nation.

This was his title, and it was also the calamity that once befell Star Solo State…

Talking about the deceased’s great achievements is also a waste of time, but every being that ascended from Mortal to Decree-level and above is essentially a legend in the eyes of the world.

“But one legend, can’t defeat two legends…”

The former Ghost Soul of the Death God lay on the ground like a dead dog, eventually becoming material to be harvested.

His ability was quite interesting, named “Doomsday Projection.”

Similar to Meow’s Spiritualization ability, but instead, it discards the physical body to form multiple Doomsday Ghost Shadows.

These things were slightly weaker than his original body, but in fact, they had also reached the standard combat power of a Senior Rule Level…

Of course, in the eyes of most professionals, so-called “standard combat power” is just a unit of measurement.

Merely surpassing it by a little means being weak in real combat, a high-level basic infantryman that can be mass-produced through various means.

“Its Ghost Shadows are undead, to be precise, physical attacks are ineffective.

It is more akin to a higher-dimensional ‘projection’; even when dispersed by the force of a Taboo weapon, the original body is not harmed…”

Then, he could completely hide somewhere and directly have the Ghost Shadows chase the target without end.

Even opponents stronger than him would be bothered by such tactics and eventually die from the endless, various methods of pursuit over an infinite amount of time.

“A pretty good Scout.”

Lu Ping’an stroked his chin and made an evaluation.

Obviously, more than one group was eyeing him, and no matter what, this one’s combat abilities were the most suited to be a Sentinel.

Perhaps that was his plan…

If he could kill, then kill.

If not, run, but either way, he’d receive his own reward.

However, clearly, he had not anticipated Lu Ping’an’s “eyes.”

“Tsk, that means the information about my ability to scout tens of kilometers away has leaked…

Right, and the reality that this type of weather doesn’t greatly affect my surveillance.”

Lu Ping’an smacked his lips.

Sure enough, none of these professional Hunters was simple.

But the fact that he could take him down so easily was also due to environmental factors…

The Ghost Shadow’s ability was most suitable for densely populated towns, where it could use walls, houses, and other buildings to carry out “wall-piercing kills.” In a city bustling with life forms, even Lu Ping’an’s eyes wouldn’t be able to easily find him.

Running to the Snow Plains to block his path was clearly a bit too confident.

He gave up his biggest advantage, “stealth,” and became the only living person in this area, which naturally greatly reduced the difficulty of finding him.

can modify a live puppet, but the effect is so-so.

It’s probably about Decree-level strength.

I can’t fully replicate that projection ability,” Fang Wen hesitated for a moment and then gave her assessment.

“I could try to make some Taboo items, but strength…

If I use ‘talent’ as a material, the effect will generally be significantly reduced.”

Unlike the Decree level, “Rule-level,” even in death, their remaining rules are often quite stubborn, and the World taking its time to absorb and digest them is not a quick process.

Thus, naturally, Craftsmen, machinery, and Magic Potions would all try to “digest” it.

Most evident is Lu Ping’an’s Career Ability, the skull—if it had been killed by Lu Ping’an, would have been affixed to his War Flag already.

Actually, professionals who want to Advance at a certain point, or High-Tier Professionals on the same Path, are the best “nutrition.”

But at this moment, listening to Fang Wen and the others’ eager “manufacture plans,” Lu Ping’an felt a subtle sense.

The team’s Craftsman was recruited earlier, only at fourth-tier, not as strong as Fang Wen, a Sixth-tier Craftsman, but if transformed into a Corpse puppet, even Fang Wen couldn’t strip out the “Core Rule.”

His ability is quite rare, and we have poor compatibility…”

Although understanding the mechanical Beast Taming series’ desire for “substance,” and the core ability of the Corpse in front of him being ‘Ethereal Spirit,’ Lu Ping’an still hesitated to waste it casually.

If it really came down to it, he could throw it into the courtyard’s “rule building” to forcibly digest it, with at least some feedback.

“It still has vitality, I could turn it into a Curse Killing Puppet, similar to a remodeled human…

Although it has the strength of a seventh-tier entity, I’m afraid it can only fight for a few minutes,”

Big Cat suddenly spoke up, catching Lu Ping’an off guard.

At that moment, he remembered that his team seemed to have a real technological expert in their midst.

The Healers before had created “New Humans (remodeled demons),” which probably weren’t even toys in the eyes of this entity.

When it came to using “corpses” and “life forms” as materials, this ninth-order Healer was the true professional.

“I couldn’t do it before, although there was a physical form, I, bound by the courtyard, couldn’t interfere with those ‘foreign objects’…”

Big Cat then added a brief explanation, which Lu Ping’an nodded to, truly listening.

“By the way, Lu Ping’an, your wolves are dead, frozen,”

Xue En said casually as he warmed himself by the fire…

He gave up after taking a few bites from the bear he had brought with him, realizing that his luck wouldn’t provide him with dinner.

He was now eating the dry rations given by Lu Ping’an.

Heaven knows when his backpack tore, everything fell out…

But having gotten used to all this, he calmly accepted the situation, then calmly asked his companions for all sorts of supplies.

Lu Ping’an was initially shocked, the wolf pack had gone through countless iterations, and even the low-level wolf soldiers wouldn’t be weaker than the standard combat power of a 2-tier battle-profession, how could they die so easily…

then, he realized the reason.

“…Strength doesn’t equal life adaptability, isn’t it normal for some powerful ‘Magical Beasts’ to be frozen to death?”

Looking at the vast snow outside, Lu Ping’an realized that the environment was probably limiting not only the pursuit of their opponents but also his own beast swarm and magic plants.

Extreme environments might have an even more severe impact on life system professions compared to others.

Of course, if he had already developed magic plants or demons adapted to the environment, it would be a different story…

But clearly, Lu Ping’an lacked such tactical reserves.

“…Can only sense they’re still to the north?”

Lu Ping’an’s “Eye of Truth” wasn’t omnipotent, especially when it involved native “Divine Right” or “World Foundation.”

“This is a bit troublesome, looks like we’ll have to take this step by step…”

While Lu Ping’an sighed at the harshness of the environment and feared that this time crossing the river by a dragon might simply end up frozen in the water, at the other end of the mountain range, a group of “locals” were trying to get in.

In that timeline’s Siberia, there were times and areas around minus 80 degrees Celsius, and considering the reality of polar ice melting, certain areas were actually colder than the Arctic regions not far from here.

And in this timeline, the region had already been permeated by supernatural cold; even the outskirts were much colder than in the original timeline, and it was the kind of extraordinary cold that pierced through physical defenses.

And as a convoy of armored vehicles and tanks emitting a faint red glow slowly entered, even the ice and snow magic monsters were melted and repelled.

The flashing Red Star on their equipment revealed their identity—the people from the Red Star Republic had come in search of their lost “heritage.”

Meanwhile, in another direction, several large airplanes landed simultaneously, with people of different skin colors and nationalities arriving at this forbidden zone of life.

The “airborne radar” of their machines had their Divine Power Pointers firmly aimed north.

Perhaps unaware of each other’s presence, all parties’ pointers eventually converged on the deepest, uninhabited areas of the Snow Mountain.
