Chapter 853: A Pointless Trip? (1/2)

The miniature radar also had a thermal imaging function, which made it extremely sensitive to the presence of life forms.

After activating the radar, Tang Wulin only had to continuously inject his soul power into it to maintain the three-dimensional image in his mind. Dilapidated factories and equipment lay all around him, and it was a very barren place.

This was a search mission, so all he had to do to complete it was search through his designated section.

Tang Wulin hurriedly along, and at the same time, he was controlling his soul power to close off his pores and conceal his aura. He was also treading very lightly and making about as much sound as a prowling cat in the night.

This type of aura concealment skill was something that he'd learned from Old Demon Scourge on the demonic island. The most important element of infiltration was to avoid being discovered by enemies. Old Demon Scourge's aura concealment skill was very useful as not only was it able to conceal one's aura, it also taught one how to fuse their soul power with destructive energy, thereby lowering their body temperature to avoid detection from thermal imaging devices.

Tang Wulin was putting this skill to extremely good use, so even if someone were aiming a sensory device at him right now, they wouldn't be able to detect him as he'd completely sealed off his aura and soul power, while also lowering his body temperature to match his surroundings.

Old Demon Scourge had told him that everyone only lived once, so regardless of what situation he was in, he had to do everything he could minimize his risk of being harmed. If he were to make a mistake due to complacency, then he may not have the opportunity to regret his mistake as he could already be dead.

These lessons had been drilled into Tang Wulin's mind through the torment inflicted on him by the old demons. As such, he was doing everything he could to blend into the night while advancing through the abandoned industrial area. Even the energy fluctuations emanating from the miniature radar on his badge had been concealed by him using his soul power.

Tang Wulin was the fastest among Shrek's Seven Monsters to master his aura concealment skill as he possessed the most spiritual power. His Spirit Abyss realm spiritual power made it a lot easier for him to master all aspects of the skill than it was for everyone else.

Soon, Tang Wulin had searched through most of his section without making any discoveries. Perhaps it was due to the presence of harmful substances in the area, but there weren't even any insects or rodents around. This was a truly dead and desolate place.

”The innermost section has been completely searched with no discoveries.” Purple One's voice sounded in his earpiece.

”The eastern section has been completely searched with no discoveries.” Next to report his findings, or lack thereof, was Yellow One.

Tang Wulin pressed down on his communicator, and said, ”The western area has been completely searched with no discoveries.”

Yellow Two's voice then quickly rang out. ”The search through the southern area is still ongoing.”

Purple One instructed, ”Yellow One, Yellow Three, you two head to the southern area to meet up with Yellow Two and Yellow Four. I'll come to join all of you after searching through the northern section.”

”Yes!”

As the leader of the team, Purple One naturally took on the biggest workload. This was a rule in the Battle Hall, and even if it hadn't been in place, everyone automatically carried it out anyway.

Tang Wulin sped toward the southern section, and he quickly found Yellow Two and Yellow Four using the positioning function of his yellow badge. Yellow One had arrived there ahead of him as he was an agility-type Soul Master.

”Looks like there's nothing here,” Yellow One said in a disappointed manner.

According to the rules, they had to find some leads to complete the mission. Otherwise, they'd only receive a third of the reward.

Yellow Tow smiled, and said, ”Hopefully, Purple One can bring us some good news.”

Tang Wulin merely nodded in response.

Beneath his mask, his brows were tightly furrowed. He hadn't found anything in his search, but he still couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. He had fought evil Soul Masters on many occasions, and with his sharp senses, he could feel that there was an indescribable sense of oppression in this area that made him very uncomfortable.

Not long after that, a figure quickly sped toward them. Tang Wulin and the other yellow agents reflexively adopted defensive stances while checking their badges.

It was Purple One.
