"I'm so angry! I'm so angry! Xuan Zhong! Have you seen his bossy look? I just want to stuff a grenade directly into his mouth! That bastard really thinks we can't see him What are you thinking about?"
After returning to their respective camps, Luo Xiao immediately lost his temper.
"He doesn't want to use his own soldiers to step on mines. He might as well use this method to win over people's hearts and find a group of pathfinders." Xuan Zhitong's answer was still very honest, "Luo Xiao, you don't need to be so angry. If If we really want to kill him, we can do it at any time."
"Hmph, of course." Luo Xiao stared, "That kind of person will never know the extent of a tourist's knowledge, and his self-conceited military superiority is not a concern at all. But we still have to consider how to deal with the aftermath after killing him. I don’t want to cause any trouble.”
"You can let others take action." Xuan Zhitong said, "There will be many people who are unhappy with him."
Luo Xiao thought for a while and smiled evilly: "That's right, AL-004 will probably bring him some trouble, and that 005 doesn't look like a good person."
"how do you know?"
"You know? The smell of blood on that guy even makes me sick. Even if I can't judge his character, he will definitely kill many people." Luo Xiao shook his finger, "Then I'll suppress my temper for the time being. Since Wen Beiluo can't command you, we might as well let you control all our plans and we can't take advantage of him!"
"You really trust me with your trust. You know that I am different from you, right?" Xuan Zhitong glanced at her.
"It's just because it's different. I wouldn't worry if you were the same evil person as me." Luo Xiao lay down on the camp bed carelessly, "I'll leave it to you tomorrow."
On the other side, Lu Ning and Mo Lianren also set up a camp on a flat area close to the coastline. The light from the tent added a touch of warmth under the gradually darkening sky.
"We're back." Lu Ning waved to a person standing at the entrance of the camp from a distance, and the person hurried back to inform everyone, and soon everyone in the camp came out.
"How are you, captain? Not long ago, several landing craft suddenly landed. Judging from the situation, there seemed to be a lot of people coming. We are a little worried." Spade Mouth was the fastest.
"It's AL-001's team." Lu Ning didn't hide anything, and gave them a summary of Wen Beiluo's words and actions after he came over.
Then Qiu Shu put the box he was carrying on the ground, which contained exactly what Wen Beiluo said.
"These are the three types of equipment Wen Beiluo mentioned. As for bullets, he can only provide twenty individual soldiers per team. But I don't recommend that any of you use the weapons and props he provided. After all, Wen Beiluo suddenly appeared. It’s very suspicious, there’s no guarantee he’s asking us to be his forward scout.”
"Even so, we can still do some research." Qiu Shu said with a smile. "Being able to find this kind of targeted weapon shows that he has some special channels. It would be a good thing if we can also conduct relevant research."
"Captain, is this dangerous?" Chongbai asked hurriedly. "If he knows that many people are not using his things, he might be angry or use some other conspiracy."
"There's nothing wrong with that guy's brain, I guess he can guess it." Lu Ning shook his head, "Even with our colleagues, we are still very wary, and the original conversation in the woods was a bit unpleasant. Even if he controlled the situation, he should be aware of this The counter-effects of forced incorporation.”
"So let's ignore Wen Beiluo. Tomorrow we will enter the Beast God Valley from the volcanic flow channel on the southeast side. Everyone, have a good rest, because tomorrow's trip may be very dangerous." Mo Lianren said, "Take your strongest Bullets are ready, and the sharpest blades are polished and polished. This time we want to see what’s so special about the Beast God Valley, a special gathering area for phantom beasts in an extreme environment.”

The next day, the Astronomical Light team was summoned by Wen Beiluo. Of course, this had nothing to do with Lu Ning and Mo Lianren. They set out early in the morning with the team that had packed their equipment, leaving only Leiwang, Zhenmai and a technical soldier from Mo Lianren's team stayed behind at the camp.
Four suspended vehicles carried everyone over the rugged ground. The terrain conditions of this continent are so harsh that it is difficult for any means of transportation that touches the ground to drive directly. This feeling will be even more obvious on the suspended car. In some huge ravines, you can even vaguely see bright lights below, and even stone holes that spray steam are everywhere.
The Beast God Valley is more than 400 kilometers away from the camp, but only halfway there, you can already see many volcanoes. There seems to be no volcanoes that have just erupted nearby, and the surrounding volcanic rocks look like they have been around for a while, but the geological detector shows that all the volcanoes nearby are active and may erupt at any time. The spacesuit isolates the outside temperature, but you can feel the heat just by looking at the environment.
Lu Ning looked at the map and paid attention to the surrounding signal feedback. The fantasy beasts on this continent are not only in the Beast God Valley, there are also many in the periphery, and their nature is more similar to the environment here.
There was a gunshot, a shot from the recorder, hitting the fire snake that rushed out of a stone hole. Its body was covered with several rings of fire. It was nearly one meter in length and was not very big. It was hit by the recorder. The gun exploded, and the whole flesh and blood exploded into sparks all over the sky. Dragon Vein quickly captured the energy reading, and reported after a moment: "Captain, the explosive power of this thing may cause considerable damage to the space suit. We have to be careful about the phantom beasts here. Explode."
Lu Ning casually announced the news.
Soon, four drones flew up from Qiu Shu's side. These lightweight little guys quickly jumped over the hover car and flew forward, responsible for exploring the path. With these drones clearing the way first, the risk of direct contact is reduced.
More than an hour later, everyone was approaching the Beast God Valley.
From the satellite map, this place called "valley" should actually be said to be a rift valley terrain. There are large and small volcanic craters distributed in a plateau-like mountainous area, and the beasts that cut these craters are Valley of the Gods. Those secluded gullies are not connected to the outside world, or in other words, even if they are connected, they are burning underground. There is only one way in from any direction from the outside, which is to climb up the volcano and then enter the valley from the top.
Everyone parked the hovercar far away and started hiking up the mountain. There was almost no vegetation in the volcanic area, but there were a lot of strange-shaped rocks. The closer Lu Ning got, the more he could feel that the depths of the ground beneath his feet seemed to be vibrating, with a slow rhythm, much like breathing.
Halfway up the mountain, everyone finally encountered their first battle. They were several giant ape-shaped creatures that swooped down from a rock, but their bodies were covered with a layer of scales that looked like volcanic rocks. The most astonishing thing was that flames were even spurting out of their mouths.
The bullets were fired immediately. These giant apes were between two and three meters in size. They were not giant creatures. The bullets fired bright sparks on their bodies, and several shattering sounds were soon heard. This was probably I heard Beiluo talking about the "phantom layer" defense before.
"The defense is broken, it doesn't seem to be that strong..." Spades perked up, but at this moment, the giant apes roared fiercely, and this time flames poured out of their bodies, as if they had turned into fire. . Then they really turned into a storm and rushed into everyone's heart.
Two grenades smashed directly into the two storms, and the bayonet and recorder fired at the same time. At the same time, the demolition man on Mo Lianren roared, took off two war hammers from his back and rushed forward to face the fire storm. A cross-shaped gas was ejected from it, directly blocking several other storms.
Amidst the dull explosion, cold fog suddenly enveloped the front, and the coldness instantly overshadowed the surrounding heat. Even the giant ape in sprinting state was frozen and stuck to the ground. The cold is still slowly spreading, and white frost begins to appear on the surface of the rocks.
"This thing is so powerful!" Recorder said appreciatively.
Those two grenades were made using the condensate produced by the tundra injector. Lu Ning and Mo Lianren's teams both carried a lot of them. They didn't mind turning the volcano into an ice sheet if necessary.
The battle with the demolition man also ended quickly. The war hammer easily stopped the giant ape, followed by a series of attacks like a tank crushing the remaining three giant apes before they could react. They all took a beating.
"C-level?" Everyone walked over to observe the battlefield. The giant ape's combat effectiveness was not weak, but Lu Ning and others were too well prepared, just like using a flamethrower to kill a mosquito, which seemed to be overkill.
"These are animals that only move based on instinct." Mo Lianren's adjutant said, "From the data of the battle just now, we can see that they only rely on the cover provided by the volcanic terrain to move, and there is no more special evolution. Our Ordinary detection instruments can detect them. It is indeed not easy for targeted mutations to appear in places far away from human habitations."
"White Fox, do you need to take some samples?" Mo Lianren asked.
"No need, it is not fundamentally different from some of the phantom beasts we have encountered before. We are here to find special phantom beasts or terrain. In short, they are definitely not on these monkeys. But we can make use of these corpses. "
The adjutant named "White Fox" said calmly.
"Do your adjutants also use code names?" Lu Ning asked Mo Lianren in a low voice.
"Yes, but not necessarily." Mo Lianren said quietly, "She is an agent, not the external one, but the internal one."
Lu Ning frowned.
"She has been to many places with many identities, whether in the military or private planets. She has changed many faces and names. Her original identity does not even exist in the alliance's citizen database. It changed as her identity changed. But now she is my adjutant, and White Fox is the code name of her last operation."
"Captain, you don't need to keep your voice down when discussing my past, because this is what I told you." Bai Hu turned to look at Mo Lianren, "It's just that I feel that now is not the time to discuss this."
"We haven't officially entered the Beast God Valley yet. Have you finished processing the corpses?"
"The core organs have been dug out and a simple fantasy beast bomb is being made." Bai Hu pointed at two team members who were putting some organs into flat boxes under her command.
"What are these?" Lu Ning asked.
Mo Lianren was a little proud: "We went to the Ranger building to harvest a simple and crude weapon manufacturing method. The biological agents in these boxes can keep part of the phantom beast's organs active for about a day. We can use the box to The external stimulation function forces these organs to release all the energy contained inside. To put it simply, you can use the special abilities of some phantom beasts, but each organ can only be used once."
"Of course it is, but these monkeys are only capable of breathing fire, and most of the fantasy beasts here are highly immune to high temperatures." White Fox sighed slightly, "I hope the C-level creatures can be of some use."
Everyone continued to walk up, and along the way they encountered luminous lizards, turtles with the color of volcanic rocks, and a "potato" variant that Lu Ning had seen before. However, the strongest of these was only C-level, and they were easily defeated by the team. Packed away.
Finally, the group reached the volcanic plain above and saw the huge cracks that crisscrossed the plain.
"The maximum distance between cracks even exceeds 100 meters." Longmai read the relevant data in detail, "Especially since there are many craters around here, it is conceivable that some cracks will be filled by the erupted lava. But this Not the strangest thing, the strange thing is that the crater and fissures were not directly torn and connected due to violent geological changes."
It's like poking a few holes in a piece of paper and then tearing it hard without extending the paper around the holes, but instead tearing new cracks in the surrounding intact areas.
Over there, Tiemei, Spades and a few others conducted a simple detection of the nearest crack.
"The shallowest depth is close to one kilometer. Vertical rope descent?" Tiemei said in a muffled voice, "The ropes we prepared are all fireproof, so it is not difficult, but it may not be at this position, and we will definitely have to in the future. It can be used."
"Jet pack." Lu Ning glanced at the data, "Just use recoil landing from the shallowest place."
"You've become a lot more courageous!" Mo Lianren glanced at her approvingly.
"I am quite timid." Lu Ning recalled that she had acted timidly in front of her before, but it seemed that she had not done anything timid.
"No, it's just that I have the impression that you have always been cautious, and you don't like teamwork very much. You are a more introverted person? You have changed a lot now."
"It's a good thing." Lu Ning didn't plan to waste too much time on this topic. At this time, everyone had already prepared their backpacks and checked whether their equipment was secure according to her order.
"Captain! Everyone is ready! Please give the order!" Tiemei and Mo Lianren's blasters shouted at the same time.
"Landing in batches, two at a time. Immediately after landing, deploy defenses to be on guard against high-level fantasy beasts that may appear." Lu Ning nodded.
"yes!"
