Run Away, This Civilization Is Cheating!-Chapter 488 - 378: Victory of the Intelligence Front!_2
Chapter 488: Chapter 378: Victory of the Intelligence Front!_2
The highest praise was not an exaggeration.
For example, the “Spirit” in question was roughly at Level 47, and its ability lay in lurking deep within the souls of living beings, while simultaneously recording and transmitting intelligence information.
It could be said to be a powerful ability for scouting.
And this was not even one of the opposing force’s warriors, but merely a “Spirit” owned by a warrior.
From this, one could see that the people of this civilization system were able to easily inherit the powers of their ancestors from within the civilization, and it was highly probable that they could inherit more than one. The resulting advantage in strength was easily imaginable.
Powerful development potential matched by an equally powerful force.
In comparison, the Human Civilization’s Cultivation, Magic, even Card Masters, all seemed rather run-of-the-mill.
However, being run-of-the-mill also meant there was a greater room for becoming stronger!
“Could such Spirits be contracted on other Extraordinary Paths?” Shen Hao pondered. “Or perhaps, turned into cards?”
His eyes shone slightly.
Although he didn’t know how feasible it actually was, it was clearly a good idea.
One could only say that Shen Hao and most of the Human Civilization had not seen the Second Civilization as a true enemy but rather as a future subordinate.
This was undoubtedly a form of arrogance, but they also had the foundation to be arrogant!
“Continue the detection. This hidden ability does not stem from Talent, but from a unique Transcendent technique. If you find one, there’s bound to be more!” Shen Hao issued the command, and even within a few short days, he had figured out a technique that made detection easier.
Based on the Derivation Heaven Skill, it went straight to the soul and could be considered a form of countermeasure.
Designing such a countermeasure was naturally not difficult for a strong warrior like him, even for other Sixth Stage warriors, who could also likely achieve it, just not as swiftly.
But what set Shen Hao apart was his ability to spread such techniques in the shortest time possible.
Yes, the Emperor Seal!
He sealed it into a unique Emperor Seal, allowing everyone to learn it.

In just half a month, thousands of similar “Spirits” with such abilities were rooted out from the entire Frontline Army, especially among the natives of the Great Sun Immortal Sect.
This number was enough for Human Civilization to follow the trail and quickly locate the main camp of the Contract Spirit Civilization’s scouting troops in the region.
And so, a great victory on the Intelligence Front was established!
More than 3,000 scouts were wiped out in one fell swoop, the weakest among them at Level 41, definitely the Second Civilization’s main force in scouting!
The impact of this was extremely far-reaching. Even though these individuals all had powerful seals to prevent information leaks, with numbers like these, Human Civilization was still able to unearth a wealth of intelligence.
They finally had a general understanding of this “competitor.”
“The Contract Spirit Civilization had largely resolved its internal struggles and established a strong government system before being selected for the Civilization Trial. They embarked on the right path of civilization development, and after entering the Civilization Trial, they advanced with vigor and virtually never faced a true extinction crisis…”
When the related intelligence was gathered in Shen Hao’s hands, it also made him somewhat contemplative.
Such a civilization was indeed very rare within the Civilization Trial.
A powerful foundation, potential, and performance…
Had they not encountered Human Civilization, the Contract Spirit Civilization could have potentially continued to grow stronger until the difficulty of the challenges progressively increased, reaching the limit of their potential.
However, it was not so easy to annex them as an Affiliated Civilization.
Shen Hao frowned slightly.
The reason was simple; even if they were no match for Human Civilization in the end, they could evade until the Trial was over.
Embarking on such a path would undoubtedly affect the gains of this Civilization Trial, but if one has sufficient confidence in themselves and does not wish to rely on others, this choice could still be made.
Thus, Human Civilization must not only win the competition but also demonstrate absolute strength!
Only in doing so can they thoroughly suppress the confidence of the other party and become a genuine affiliate of Human Civilization.
“It feels like recruiting brave warriors and wise counselors in ancient times of conquest,” Shen Hao conveyed his stance again.
The pressure reached the second half of the intelligence warfare.
Human Civilization’s reconnaissance personnel had silently infiltrated the area occupied by the Contract Spirit Civilization.
However, compared to the large scouting teams dispatched by the Contract Spirit Civilization, Human Civilization had only sent one person.
That person was Feng Ping.
This arrangement was naturally a decision made by Human Civilization’s high-level officials after comprehensive consideration.
The most challenging part of intelligence reconnaissance is the first step, how to truly penetrate deep into the opponent’s territory. Once this step is achieved, everything subsequently becomes much easier. More importantly, Shen Hao’s “Dominator Domain” meant he only needed to plant a single spy, and then he could continuously embed more.
At the moment, Feng Ping was indeed nervous.
But he was also extremely excited.
Although he was the leader of the reconnaissance department, in reality, it was due to his abilities, lacking substantial merits in the related field.
After all, previous reconnaissance missions were mostly overwhelming victories.
Even when infiltrating the domains of powerful Weird Demons, there were coordinates provided by the President in advance. The true demonstration of his own abilities was, in fact, not that frequent.
But now, it was a real test!
Feng Ping had already arrived at one of the Contract Spirit Civilization’s frontline bases, completely concealed in a state of illusion, with nothing but the faintest threads of causality, no “real” existence at all.
And his eyes were continuously recording everything inside the civilization’s base.
It had to be said that the situation was much more lenient than expected.
Tall warriors walked back and forth within the base, their actions not strict, even chatting and laughing with one another. Besides that, many had “Spirits” phasing in and out behind them; looking at those forms, these “Spirits” seemed to have similar powers and shapes, likely the evolution of generations of Contract Spirit Civilization warriors.
Feng Ping’s gaze shifted slightly but locked onto a powerful warrior.
Level 48, seemingly the highest Commander of this base!
He approached silently, capturing the entire conversation between this official and his deputy.
“The orders from above are to increase precautions, beware of spies from Human Civilization,” the Main General said with clear annoyance. “I really don’t know what those officials are good for, having contracted such potent Spirits and still allowing others to catch up from behind.”
“Sir, those are words best kept between us,” the deputy said helplessly.
“What’s there to keep private? I’d dare to say the same to their faces!” The Main General seemed even more irritated. “The frontline reconnaissance forces have suffered significant setbacks; I don’t know what they’re doing! Didn’t they say that the opponent’s strength is far inferior to ours?”
“Strength is inferior, but their methods are cunning,” the deputy shook his head, his expression grave. “On the road of the Civilization Trial, there can’t be a moment’s respite. If we don’t secure a high score this time, it’s equivalent to breaking our upward momentum…”
“That’s right! This isn’t a trivial matter. If you ask me, we should simply push forward with a mighty army. Whatever methods they have, we use strength to break their spells!” The Main General clenched his fist, “Continuing to delay will only make things worse.”
“You’re absolutely right, sir,” the deputy agreed wholeheartedly.
…
The two continued their discussion afterward. It appeared to be just ordinary frontline warriors discussing the situation, but in terms of strength and status, they definitely belonged to the upper echelons of their civilization.
Their attitudes and discussions revealed plenty of intelligence.
Feng Ping took notes, his gaze growing more solemn.
