Behind the spatial rift, Yakes and Joseph were still waiting.
Joseph, looking at the distant train, suddenly asked, “My lord, why did we choose to attack the train Zheng Cheng is on?”
“This is an open field that is perfect for an attack. Still, if they attempt to escape, it will be hard for us to catch up, won’t it?”
Yakes sneered, “It’s because of his identity.”
“His identity? A student?” Joseph asked puzzled: “What do you mean?”
“No, no, no…” Yakes shook his head. “Not a student but his identity as a Professionist and a Night Guard.”
“In Xia Country, there is an unwritten rule: all Professionists, when encountering a village or town full of common people while in the wild, will do their best to protect these civilians.”
“In case of a Space Rift incident or Monster invasion or any other kinds catastrophe, these Professionists are expected to stay behind and protect the common people!”
Yakes laughed coldly, “And it’s because of this that the Professionists of Xia Country suffer heavy casualties.”
“Especially the Night Guards, they die in even greater numbers!”
“This…?”
Joseph also asked in surprise, “There’s such a rule?”
“The Professionists are a national treasure; they are an indicator of a country’s strength; how could they be wasted on ordinary people?”
“That’s why I say that the Night Guards, the Professionists of Xia Country, are all fools!”
Yakes sneered, “In such a vast open space, if they abandon all the common people on this freight train and choose to leave here with their Professionist strength, our plan would fail by half.”
“In this vast expanse of Yellowearth hillside, chasing and killing a Professionist would be even more difficult!”
“The people from the ‘Breaking Dawn’ organization obviously know this, so they proactively chose to use a shard of the Space-Time rift to create a miniature space rift incident, threatening all the common people on the train.”
“And so, Zheng Cheng and his party who share the ride with these common people, will definitely stay behind!”
Yakes continued, “Our target, Mr. Zheng Cheng, is an excellent member of the Night Guards and a new Professionist who has just graduated from high school and is about to embark on his university career.”
“Such young people are most passionate and, in the words of the Xia Country, “consider protecting the world’s populace as their duty.”
“How can such people run away when common people face life-threatening crises?”
“So, for this mission, as long as we keep them here, we’ve won half the battle!”
On the train.
Zheng Cheng asked strangely, “Fallen Ones? Why the Fallen Ones?”
Xu Qingfeng said, “Because the Skull Beasts are not normally generated monsters, but were created by an Epic Level strong man!”
“Who?”
“One of the Nine Days of Dawn Guild, Ghost Day!”
“Woo woo woo woo…!”
At the same time, a heart-shaking howl suddenly came from the distance.
Many Professionists were leaning on the windows, looking outside.
They saw a large group of ghostly figures floating over from the distant dark clouds, like a split layer of clouds, flying towards here at a fast speed.
“Specters!”
“They’re ghost-type creatures!”
“Damn it! How can we encounter such difficult monsters?”
“Don’t worry, everyone, we have eleven mages here. We can totally annihilate these specters!”
“Everyone, get out of the train!”
At the command of Xu Qingfeng, more than a hundred Professionists quickly ran off the freight train.
Standing on the open ground, they could see the specters in the distance more clearly.
And down below, there appeared to be fast-moving white shadows.
“Skulls?”
“No! Not skulls, but Skull Beasts!”
“They’re monsters nurtured by Ghost Day, one of the Nine Days of Dawn Guild! Very bloodthirsty!”
Zheng Cheng asked, “Captain Xu, everyone seems to be very familiar with the Skull Beasts. What kind of monster is it?”
Xu Qingfeng gritted his teeth, “Ghost Day constantly torments specters, forcing them to become stronger vengeful spirits, then combines them with skulls to create stronger Skull Beasts.”
“Skull Beasts are very bloodthirsty. Although the level of newly born Skull Beasts is only around LV20, their strength is not strong, but they have a terrifying talent, which is to grow constantly by devouring souls!”
“Ten years ago, Ghost Day, in order to test the strength of the Skull Beasts, actually released Skull Beasts within a small town.”
“When we Night Guards arrived, there were no living beings left in the town. Even a dog was eaten by the Skull Beasts!”
“Hehehehe…”
He laughed coldly in succession, “In the last encounter, we destroyed all his Skull Beasts under his command. I didn’t expect to encounter them so soon.”
“It seems that they have been nurtured anew. They want to use this opportunity to continue nurturing Skull Beasts!”
Just then, a noise suddenly erupted from the ordinary carriage behind them.
“It’s a skull!”
“So many ghosts!”
“Monsters!”
“Everybody run!”
“You’re an idiot if you run,” came a voice. “Where can you run in such an open land? It’s better to stay here with the Professionists protecting us…”
“Run fast…”
A wave of panicked screams came. Many ordinary people broke the windows and jumped down, running towards the back.
Many others chose to stay behind, making a commotion and causing a lot of chaos.
Xu Qingfeng frowned, “Yang Liuying, send five support Professionists to calm them down.”
“If there is a shortage of people, organize the train attendants, police officers, military police, and government officials on the train to stabilize them and prevent them from running around.”
“Yes!”
Yang Liuying responded and immediately dispatched five female Professionists to return to the carriage.
By then, the specters and the Skull Beasts far away had already appeared before everyone’s eyes!
Looking at the Skull Beasts at the foot of the hill, Xu Qingfeng immediately said, “Lianghao! Let’s go!”
“Understood, ready to go!”
Behind Xu Qingfeng, a chubby young man wearing an earthy yellow mage robe responded. He held a staff over a person tall with an earthy yellow crystal about the size of a tennis ball embedded on top.
He thrust his staff hard into the ground, made unceasing magical gestures with both hands, spread out a large number of magically fragrant powders into the air and incanted a spell.
Accompanied by his incantation, waves of strong and heavy energy emanated from his body and quickly radiated around him.
After a few moments, everyone could clearly feel that the ground in front of them started shaking suddenly.
“Earth Dragon’s Flip!”
“Hmph!”
Zhu Lianghao roared fiercely, and the ground under his feet started to roll up, transforming into more than ten massive earth dragons.
It raised the original small hill into a giant outward extending platform.
The dozens of Skull Beasts that had already rushed over were immediately engulfed by the shaking earth dragons, and the heads of the ten-plus earth dragons formed ten-plus outward protruding small hillocks.
In other words, they were now standing high, overlooking the Skull Beasts down the hill.
The Skull Beasts would have to climb up the hill to attack them!
“That’s great!”
“With the existence of an earth-based mage who can change the terrain, we’ve already won half the battle!”
“Look! They are coming!”
“Damn it!”
