Being able to achieve such passive gains already proved that his past two months were not wasted. Going forward, he could dedicate the vast majority of his energy to improving the Lingshu protocol.
The initial application allowed the speed at which he handled numerous backlogged matters to soar. In the future, as the network and computing power expand, the increase in efficiency will be immeasurable.
More importantly, this system of assisted thinking is not exclusive to him. Once it matures, core members such as Elder Yi and his own grandfather, Kong Deming, can all access it.
At that time, the research capabilities of the entire team will grow exponentially. This is a truly revolutionary tool capable of bringing about a qualitative change in efficiency.
Kong Mingan pondered briefly and began writing a proposal. He decided to first spread the Ling Shu Network among the core members of the Mingmeng Chamber of Commerce.
Putting aside everything else, just the ability to use the Ling Shu Network for rapid communication alone would dramatically increase the work efficiency within the Chamber of Commerce.
Incidentally, foundational infrastructure like network information bases also needs to be built. He thought to himself that he should first set a small goal to cover the entire Capital City and Shrek City.
Kong Mingan threw himself wholeheartedly into the work. Time silently slipped away for more than ten days as Kong Mingan remained fully immersed in his work. Deep within the mixed zone of the Star Dou Great Forest, a group was in trouble.
These Moon-Eating Silver Wolves are hunting us! A Spirit Emperor shouted a warning. His Spirit materialized as he fiercely punched a pouncing Moon-Eating Silver Wolf away. A palpable sense of urgency enveloped the twelve-person Spirit hunting team, who had been full of confidence moments before. Everything happened too quickly.
Just a moment ago, they had jointly hunted a thirty-thousand-year Spirit Beast. It was just enough for the Spirit King in the team who had just reached Rank sixty to absorb.
The next moment, they were surrounded by a pack of Moon-Eating Silver Wolves. The twelve individuals adopted defensive stances and cast their gazes toward the surrounding woods. There, pairs of eerie green wolf eyes lit up like ghost fire.
They were growing in number and roughly totaled over a hundred. Their movements were swift and agile, and their coordination was seamless. They were like a well-trained army. They continuously compressed the living space of the group since they had already formed a complete encirclement. At a certain moment, they pounced.
Mystic Turtle True Body! A Spirit Saint named Shishan roared. The massive golden Mystic Turtle phantom behind him solidified. A heavy, earthy yellow light barrier instantly expanded. It immediately blocked the frenzied pounces of the wolf pack.
However, he was only one person. The earthy yellow light barrier trembled violently under the continuous claw attacks. It was precariously close to collapsing.
Gaps were torn open, and several Moon-Eating Silver Wolves slipped through to attack. Without hesitation, the other teammates rushed forward and quickly killed these Moon-Eating Silver Wolves. But the attacks were relentless.
Why are Moon-Eating Silver Wolf packs appearing in the mixed zone? Shouldn't they be active in the core zone? The only support system Spirit King in the team couldn't help but speak up.
Her various Spirit Abilities continuously landed on her gradually injured companions. There were simply too many Moon-Eating Silver Wolves. This small boost couldn't immediately pull them out of their predicament.
Someone couldn't help but ask where Elder Xuan was or where the Team Leader Teacher went. The Super Douluo who was supposed to protect them was nowhere to be seen. They wondered if he could really be this unreliable. Suppression and chaos spread among them.
The morale of the group wavered under the organized and repeated attacks of the Moon-Eating Silver Wolves. At a certain moment, a powerful aura arose simultaneously with a firm voice. It forcefully overrode all the noise.
Shishan, maintain the defense and focus on the wolf pack to the left. Li Yue, use your vines to entangle the one that slipped past the right flank! Prioritize healing Spirit Abilities for the front line.
The injured must immediately retreat to the center of the defensive circle! Zhang Lexuan stepped forward, and moonlight-like spirit power surged from her body. Her gaze was sharp, and she proactively took command.
Her clear instructions and her extremely powerful aura gave the panicked teammates a rallying point. They subconsciously began to follow her orders.
Moon Rise! The massive silver moon phantom behind her shone brightly. Countless Moon Blades condensed like solid matter. They sounded like a river of stars reversing as they slammed fiercely into the weakest point of the wolf pack. Amidst tearing sounds, many Moon-Eating Silver Wolves were sliced apart.
Blood and flesh were flying everywhere. The powerful spirit power forcefully tore open a gap in the airtight encirclement. Without any hesitation, she immediately commanded Zhao Ming to take the others and leave first.
Zhao Ming didn't hesitate. His Martial Soul True Body instantly materialized and transformed him into a magnificent azure giant falcon. His sharp talons immediately grabbed three severely injured people on the ground. The rest of the group quickly grabbed onto the legs or the back of the giant falcon.
The azure falcon let out a clear cry and vigorously flapped its wings. It immediately transformed into a streak of azure light and soared into the sky through the opening Zhang Lexuan had created.
They forcefully escaped the encirclement of the Moon-Eating Silver Wolves. However, before the relief of surviving the disaster could surface in their hearts, an unexpected change occurred.
An enormous silver figure flashed out from the shadows on the side like a ghost. It instantly drew everyone's attention. It was a giant wolf whose size far surpassed its kin. Its fur resembled flowing moonlight. A clump of silver hair on its forehead looked like a crescent moon.
It exuded a terrifying aura that made the soul tremble of anyone who saw it. It was a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast known as the Moon-Eating Silver Wolf King. It stared fixedly at the massive azure falcon in the air and then violently whipped its tail. Immediately, a massive crescent moon was flung directly outward.
There was a sound of tearing as if cloth had been forcefully ripped apart. Accompanied by a miserable shriek, the streak of azure light was abruptly severed. The giant falcon formed by the Martial Soul True Body of Zhao Ming was sliced in half by that crescent moon. The shattered body and the terrified teammates plummeted from mid-air like dumplings. They smashed heavily onto the ground and kicked up a cloud of dust.
Zhang Lexuan felt dazed from the impact. Struggling, she propped up her upper body, but her vision was blurred by blood. The first thing she saw was the body of Zhao Ming lying not far away. Only half of him remained, and he was still faintly twitching. His upper body lay further away. His eyes were already vacant because they had lost all light.
Zhang Lexuan struggled to her feet, but what met her eyes were even more horrific sights. She saw severed limbs and heard her teammates groaning in pain. She saw figures being pounced upon and ripped apart by the opportunistic wolf pack.
The mind of Zhang Lexuan went momentarily blank. Then she saw the support system girl named Lin Lin being targeted by a Moon-Eating Silver Wolf. She shouted for her to watch out.
Zhang Lexuan instinctively channeled her spirit power and a Moon Blade shot out to attempt a rescue. However, the Hundred Thousand Year Moon-Eating Silver Wolf King merely glanced at her indifferently. It had been observing the scene the whole time. An invisible mental impact struck before her attack could land.
A dazzling burst of blood bloomed on the chest of Lin Lin. Instantly, half of the body of the girl became a bloody mess. The light in her eyes rapidly extinguished like a candle in the wind, and her body fell limply. I know I have been writing a bit too much about theory lately, but I, the lazy author, promise that the rest will primarily be plot progression!
