After Mingxi took over as the main commander, Lin Chen naturally took over Mingxi's original position, but he found himself completely useless!
Mingxi's command ability was not only stronger than his, but more importantly, her calm and composed demeanor even when facing a mountain collapse and a sea roar.
Her actions were swift as the wind, yet steady as a mountain.
Whether it was her control over the battle situation or the rhythm of the combat, she gave people a sense of flowing smoothly like clouds and water.
Every step was perilous, yet every step was taken with ease.
As the squad leader of Jinhui Group, Lin Chen's tactical literacy was naturally not bad, but now personally experiencing Mingxi's stable and natural performance, he truly understood that there are indeed people beyond people!
However, he was not discouraged or mentally declined because of this.
Instead, he prepared more seriously, while not forgetting to record the feeling Mingxi gave him, her habits, her handling of details... and her mindset.
The capable are teachers; this is no laughing matter.
"The captain was completely crushed by Xiao Xi; Xiao Xi is simply not human! She is a god!"
Chen Xin and Chu Fengfeng, each ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) performing their duties, also muttered inwardly.
They couldn't help but sigh; it was truly because Mingxi's command stability and effectiveness were too strong.
There was a sense of a great master wielding power with ease, as if painting clouds on paper.
Dominant yet composed.
And her pets.
When fighting the Blood Hunters bandit group, they had already noticed that her pets were slightly stronger than other pets of the same level, but at that time, they hadn't felt it too deeply.
Now that they were assigned to various squads, they were shocked and horrified to discover that each of them possessed strength far exceeding their peers.
The captain's Di Gou Mole was a Saint-level pet; theoretically, it was the strongest existence in the team, their strongest backing and a stabilizing force.
It was usually also the core combat power of the team.
But they now deeply understood that this was not the case.
In their team, the true stabilizing force was Mingxi's Yuanshi Demon Phoenix, Golden Yuanbao!
The strength it displayed, they would believe it if someone said it was a Venerable-level pet!
To say something unethical, compared to it, Di Gou Mole was like a ball of yarn!
Except for that Shi-level Mermaid, any random pet of Mingxi's could contend with Di Gou Mole evenly, or even surpass it.
"The gold content of Xiao Xi's SS-Class Beast Master is truly quite high!"
"If she were willing, she might have already passed the SSS-level Beast Master Limit Tower assessment."
"And she's only sixteen!"
"Hiss!"
The two's mental activity was even more vigorous than their churning legs, occasionally gasping.
Fortunately, both Lin Chen and they were qualified and mature warriors, and no one dropped the ball during this process.
"Xiao Xi, attack amplification stopped."
"Beginning reduction."
"Restoring original data."
Chu Fengfeng's report was not only timely but also very accurate, reducing Mingxi's burden and allowing her to better adjust her combat rhythm and thinking.
"Team Lin, I'm handing over command to you."
After confirming that the dream昙 orchid's attack had returned to its initial state, Mingxi immediately left the command post, with Lin Chen taking over again.
It wasn't that she was tired.
Mainly, she wanted to study the eyeballs in this stream; although the ecological cycle of this place was strange, it conformed to the principles of logic and energy operation.
At least, their interdependence could be seen.
But those bizarre eyeballs, chilling to the spine, seemed like uninvited outsiders in this harmonious family, making their purpose difficult to understand.
She always felt that these eyeballs might be the hidden secret of the Bloodless Despair Abyss.
Mingxi had tasted the sweetness of solving puzzles in Tower Killing.
Bah, she just wanted to improve too much!
If there was a shortcut, who would be willing to fight to the death?
Summarizing the valuable experiences of predecessors, the eyeballs in the stream could neither be picked up nor attacked.
Some suspected that the eyeballs could only be picked up when they were in a pearl state, and it was very likely that the holder of the pearl could pass through the Bloodless Despair Abyss unimpeded.
The Bloodless Despair Abyss was more than just this simple.
Where they were now could be said to be the safest area in the Bloodless Despair Abyss; the subsequent Linglong Valley and Jiuqiao Peak were the hells that could make people despair.
And the important reason why this place was called 'Bloodless Despair Abyss' was that bleeding was absolutely forbidden here; once injured, no matter who it was, no matter how strong their power, they would be drained of blood and die.
Therefore, finding a safe way to pass through was very important to them.
"Emerald Green."
"Brocade."
Emerald Green picked up Mingxi by the waist, then used Life Sharing and Transplanting Flowers and Trees on her.
Mingxi and a Jiuming Bird hiding in a moonlight vine swapped places.
The Jiuming Bird in Mingxi's form landed accurately in Emerald Green's arms.
(Jiuming Birds die when they land, so Emerald Green needed to control it.) freewebnoveℓ.com
"Yo jiu."
(•ิ_•ิ)?
The Jiuming Bird used Mingxi's face to show a bewildered expression, its large eyes more clear and innocent than a primary school student's, emitting an innocent 'yo jiu' sound.
A faint smile flashed in Emerald Green's vibrant green eyes.
This appearance of the Little Human was quite novel.
Mingxi, squatting among the tree vines, had no idea that her pet was secretly laughing at her.
To avoid breaking the illusion state of Transplanting Flowers and Trees, she could not make any movements.
For this, she and Emerald Green specifically chose the most suitable Jiuming Bird, well, the suitable posture.
It would allow her to clearly see the situation in the stream below without moving.
In the stream, the eyeballs drifted with the current.
After observing these eyeballs for a long time, she actually felt that they were like a group of newly hatched chicks, huddled together, ugly yet cute.
Cough.
It must be from spending too much time with Bright Crystal; her aesthetic sense was affected.
(ง •_•)ง
Yes, it must be like this.
Ignoring the issue of beauty and ugliness, these pale eyeballs were very focused; their gazes were all on Lin Chen and his team as they moved.
Some were locked onto the three of Lin Chen, others onto Golden Yuanbao and other pets; once locked, they would not shift targets, being more persistent than a tracking missile.
"Yuanshi."
Golden Yuanbao, accurately receiving Mingxi's command, reminded Lin Chen, who was directing the battle.
His Beast Tamers wanted them to temporarily stop.
Lin Chen: "Stand by!"
Both people and pets stopped, no one questioned it.
Not long after.
"Yuanshi."
They could continue forward.
The group continued.
Mingxi, the Jiuming Bird, lying among the tree vines, frowned; according to the experiment just now, when they moved, the eyeballs would also move with the stream.
When they stopped, the eyeballs would also stop, but they would not turn back into pearls, nor would they change their locked targets.
So the eyeballs were not capturing the dynamic trajectory of objects.
But... heat? Energy? Mental power?
Just before exceeding the skill range of Transplanting Flowers and Trees, Mingxi swapped back with the Jiuming Bird, whose cry was inexplicably mournful.
Mingxi shared her findings and deductions.
