Chapter 1083: Potions and Items
Chapter 1083: Potions and Items
Two hours later, the eight-member mage squad simultaneously cast Greater Invisibility, rendering themselves invisible.
They communicated with each other using their mental powers and, led by Cloud Grazing Enemy, began their journey along the massive wall from the Black Tortoise node towards the northern Vermilion Bird node.
To rally the other seven high-ranking mages, Su Yu and Cloud Grazing Enemy had to put in a significant effort.
Not everyone was as willing to sacrifice themselves as Cloud Grazing Enemy; the prospect of death made them quite hesitant.
Su Yu promised them all that after the war, he would prioritize their resurrection. Additionally, if their family members died in the war, they would also be given priority for resurrection.
With this assurance, the seven mages reluctantly agreed to participate in the mission.
The selection of the seven mages was also carefully considered.
Naturally, the three high-ranking mages from the Cloud Grazing Guild were all from China.
However, the remaining four high-ranking mages were chosen to include one European player, one American player, and two Japanese players.
The Japanese players were chosen primarily because they were easier to convince.
These two players harbored intense hatred towards the Skrulls, more so than anyone else. Once they learned they could be resurrected, they readily agreed to join the mission.
The selection of the European and American players was to maintain balance.
For various reasons, China now had a significantly larger number of high-ranking experts compared to other countries. Even if all other countries combined, they still fell short of China's numbers.
While China had more high-ranking experts, Su Yu couldn't keep relying solely on his country's resources.
If the number of high-ranking experts in China continued to dwindle while those in other countries increased, it could lead to issues with the Blue Planet United Government's internal power dynamics.
Thus, Su Yu chose one European player and one American player to ensure the balance of power within the United Government.
These two players were also relatively easy to convince.
Both had a severe "defeatist" mindset. Despite the rapid progress of the Blue Planet forces, they always believed the Blue Planet had a higher chance of defeat.
This constant belief caused them immense pain, which only grew as the war continued.
Assigning them to this "suicide squad" mission was, in a way, a form of relief for them.
...
Regardless, the eight-person squad successfully formed and set off.
Cloud Grazing Enemy took the lead, with the other seven high-ranking mages closely following.
In just ten minutes, they arrived at the northern Vermilion Bird node.
The Vermilion Bird node was completely unguarded, not even by regular soldiers.
The Skrulls had concentrated all their forces at the Black Tortoise node, where they were locked in a fierce battle with the Blue Planet forces. As a result, the Vermilion Bird node was virtually deserted.
Cloud Grazing Enemy and his team didn't pay much attention to this.
They remained invisible and casually walked out of the Vermilion Bird node's main gate.
Beyond the gate lay the rear of the Skrull base. Looking up from the foot of the mountain, they could clearly see the massive Skrull base at the summit.
Cloud Grazing Enemy paused for a moment, surveying the area.
He then chose a route with less enemy presence and led the other seven high-ranking mages towards the Skrull base on the mountain top.
The seven high-ranking mages, including Yunzhong Mudi, were fully equipped and ready for action.
To ensure the mission's success, Su Yu allocated all available resources, providing them with a large number of potions and items that enhance stealth capabilities.
For example, the Master-Level Enhanced Invisibility Potion not only boosts the effects of the Enhanced Invisibility Spell but also doubles its duration. The Master-Level Aura Concealment Elixir can hide one's aura to the maximum extent, preventing the Skrullians from detecting them. The Master-Level Spirit Energy Nullification Compound makes it easier to conceal one's spirit energy, making them even harder to detect. Additionally, they were equipped with items like the Stealth Gem, Hiding Cloak, and Balkgong's Mage Hat.
These potions and items, brought out from the game, significantly enhanced the high-ranking mages' invisibility skills. After Su Yu's distribution, each high-ranking mage received at least five potions and three pieces of equipment or items. This greatly improved their stealth capabilities!
Yunzhong Mudi, being a peak Seventh-Ranks mage, did not see a particularly significant improvement. However, the other seven high-ranking mages, all Sixth Rank, saw their invisibility abilities increase by at least two to three times! Previously, their Enhanced Invisibility Spell might have been detected by Seventh Rank high-sensitivity perceivers. With the aid of potions and items, it was now almost impossible for any Skrullian below the God Rank to detect them!
Thus, the mission went smoothly. Yunzhong Mudi led the seven high-ranking mages up the mountain and into the massive Skrull base at the summit.
Once inside the Skrull base, the group became even more cautious. Yunzhong Mudi instructed the seven high-ranking mages to drink their Master-Level Enhanced Invisibility Potions, further boosting their stealth abilities.
Then, they slowly made their way along the base's pathways, heading toward the South, where the Disintegration Beam Tower was located.
Due to limited resources, Su Yu only upgraded the potions to the Master Level, not to the higher Grandmaster or God Levels. However, after careful consideration, he did upgrade one God-Level Enhanced Invisibility Potion specifically for Yunzhong Mudi to use.
As a peak Seventh Rank mage, Yunzhong Mudi could barely handle the power of the God-Level potion. However, the potion's effects were excellent.
Su Yu hoped that Yunzhong Mudi would drink it after a successful attack to ensure his survival. Yunzhong Mudi's life was far more important than any potion.
Yunzhong Mudi did not disappoint. He kept the God-Level potion in the most visible spot in his backpack, ready to drink it if the situation turned against them.
...
After more than two hours, the group of eight successfully navigated through the entire Skrull base, reaching the open area on the south side.
On the south side of the base, the Skrullians had constructed the Disintegration Beam Tower. Upon arriving, Yunzhong Mudi noticed that the area around the tower was filled with Skrullians dressed in unusual attire, markedly different from the standard Skrullian military uniforms and the typical clothing of Skrullian civilians.
These Skrullians immediately drew their attention. Zato Eriko, a high-ranking mage from the Neon Kingdom, used telepathy to ask Yunzhong Mudi, "Captain, who are these people?
After the 'Gravity Funnel Incident,' I've been studying Skrullian data every day. I've gone through all the information we have on Skrull. But these people, their attire is off!"
