After another transformation of space, Lu Ning was once again above Tianmu Yi. The landing point this time is a certain distance from the last time, but the huge pit can still be seen from a distance.
"This is the battlefield you created?"
Bai Hu couldn't help but be a little stunned when he looked at the various signs of destruction on the surface of Tianmu Yi.
"I can't figure it out. Everyone is investing the highest level of firepower here. Probably because there is no natural life on Tianmu, the destruction is more unscrupulous." Lu Ning pointed to the crisscrossing ravines on the ground, and even more There were also a large number of ballistic lines flashing past in the distance, and it was obvious that a fierce battle was taking place. From time to time, attacks such as laser thunder rush into the sky, and the momentum alone is already a battlefield that is difficult for ordinary people to touch.
Lu Ning directly opened the authentication system and sent information to the surroundings.
"Reply received!" she shouted in the communication, "Get ready to regroup!"
After nearly a minute, there was no response. Lu Ning and Bai Hu looked at each other and knew that there was probably no one of them within a radius of two or three kilometers. The two of them did not hesitate and immediately ran towards a direction where there was no fighting.
It's just that the so-called "no fighting" refers to the situation within visual distance. After climbing over a hill, Lu Ning saw a team that was being chased to pieces. Their combat quality was not bad. Even if the formation was scattered, they still could not fight. They carried out cross fire to cover their retreat, but the bullets had little effect on the monster behind them that protruded from the ground and looked like a grave bag.
The leader also saw this, scanned the nameplates on the chests of Lu Ning and Bai Hu and immediately shouted: "Two comrades! Please help us! This is an A-level fantasy beast, and we can't hold it back anymore!" "
"We can't hold it back." Lu Ning knew which team this was when she saw the nameplate of DU-004. She didn't want to help this team out of selfish reasons.
"We are all compatriots! Shouldn't we help each other in times of crisis? At least help us with fire cover to avoid this phantom beast. You can't just ignore it, right?"
At this moment, a black container tied with chains emerged from the pile of rocks, and a person who was too close was placed directly into it, and was instantly pulled into the pile of rocks.
"Captain! The screw is dead!" a team member shouted sadly.
"Damn it, I'm begging you, help us!"
Lu Ning looked at this group of people and felt a little ridiculous. The shout of the team member didn't sound fake, but Wei Qing gave people a strange feeling. The most important thing was that he couldn't hold back a monster with just two people. How could he think that he could hold back a monster with just two people? ?
"White Fox, leave quickly before the monsters get close."
"good."
Lu Ning turned around and rushed down the hillside. But at this moment, Wei Qing shouted, without any actual content, and then rolled down the hillside.
"how--"
Before Lu Ning could finish speaking, she suddenly felt a pulling force and was pulled aside. Wei Qing passed by and hit a rock, while Bai Hu nimbly crouched behind another bunker.
"Captain Lu Ning, watch your step!"
Lu Ning lowered his head suddenly and saw in the light a chain-like shadow under his feet. There was a rumble of vibrations coming from the ground. It seemed to be the same strength just now.
"It's targeting you." Wei Qing spoke, "I passed you, so you also entered the range."
"So this is the logic?"
"Help us, or we will all die together! Fulfill your obligations! Soldier!" Wei Qing roared, "How to kill the A-level phantom beast? We can't find the space node to escape, Mo Ningyan cheated We! We lied to everyone! Now everyone is trying to survive! Don’t think about staying out of it!”
"Oh." Lu Ning just responded in a nonchalant manner and turned to look ahead. Wei Qing's team members also climbed over the ridge, and the surging rocks made the vibrations more intense. Lu Ning could already feel that there were countless eyes underground staring at him - the eyes of the dead.
"A-level fantasy beast...what kind of strange ability does it have this time?"
Unexpectedly, this question was answered.
"The place where the A-level fantasy beast is buried. It can sneak below any surface to hide itself, use the coffin protruding from the body to put a person into it, and turn him into a member of the deceased. The main body cannot be touched without destroying the surface. Destroying the surface will continue Dig downwards and open up a new surface to hide itself. Judging from the current scale, it may have eaten thousands of people."
Lu Ning suddenly raised his head and saw a man wearing an old military uniform with disheveled hair, holding a two-meter-long sword in his hand that seemed to be made of a whole bone.
She naturally recognized this face: "Zheng Heng!"
"Ah, I was just passing by." Zheng Heng raised his hand and said hello, "Are you a new generation of soldiers? Although you look thin, being able to kill an A-level fantasy beast proves that you are quite capable. , worthy of praise.”
emaciated? Lu Ning's current body is much stronger than his original body. How did he know that the A-level fantasy beast had killed him?
Zheng Heng seemed to see her doubts: "So you don't know yet? If you defeat a fantasy beast, the remaining life of it will become yours. This is the difference between A-level fantasy beasts. Rules, ah, of course it’s also because if you meet the conditions, you’re at the bottom line of Class A.”
Lu Ning frowned. She had already experienced the mutation of self-suggestion, and now she had some new skills?
"You don't need that thing on your body. When you kill A-level, you have already acquired the same ability as it. It is instinct for A-level fantasy beasts to survive in the universe. You can give up breathing at any time. Just rely on your life force to survive." I can support you for a long time." Zheng Heng was really interested in coaching, "You're just not used to it."
Habit? Lu Ning is indeed a little uncomfortable with this unusual ability. She has personally experienced the demon transformation, but the magic beast bestowed upon her is not a weapon she has experienced personally, nor is it a tangible weapon. She doesn't even know how to use it. Know that you have gained such growth.
No wonder the last hunting mission will bring out so many extraordinary additional tasks. If the hunting is really completed, the increase in individual strength will also weaken the difficulty of those tasks.
The discomfort was only temporary. Now that she was told, Lu Ning naturally began to explore the abnormalities in her body. The training of Rosicrucian also included similar projects, and she quickly found her "power".
Purple smoke spit out from Lu Ning's mouth. The helmet of the space suit began to melt the moment it was touched by the smoke. Lu Ning simply threw the helmet aside. It was just a little awkward not to breathe, and he did not feel the difference in air pressure between the inside and outside of his body, nor did he feel the universe. Rays...all the hazards of space to the human body have been ignored at this time. Lu Ning continued to spit out smoke. From his mouth and nose, the smoke slowly condensed in the air, forming a mass that did not disperse.
"I learned quickly." Zheng Heng looked very happy.
"Thank you for your guidance."
"It's been a long time since I've seen anyone who needs advice, and I got interested by chance. But a reminder, even if you become a co-owner of life, it's still difficult to kill an A-level phantom beast, so leave as soon as possible."
Lu Ning nodded, waved his hand, and the purple-red sphere penetrated the ground and hit the depths. There was a rumble in the ground, and the A-level fantasy beast that started to dig underground because the surface was destroyed was moving away. . Lu Ning hurriedly jumped over and grabbed the white fox's arm, waved to Zheng Heng in the sky, his pupils turned into vertical pupils, and he left the mountain area with a single bounce.
Zheng Heng smiled softly and walked away from the air without looking at the remaining people. Wei Qing slowly got up, glanced at the departing figures of these people with a slightly gloomy look, then turned gentle again, and went to greet his team members.
Lu Ning, on the other hand, stopped after jumping at high speed for five or six kilometers. She already felt some muscle soreness and began to feel a little uncomfortable due to internal injuries. It seemed that there was a certain incompatibility between the devil's state and the life-giving here. She held her chest but didn't know how to ease the pain. At this moment, a respirator was placed over her face.
"Captain Lu Ning, I don't know what changes have occurred in you...but you used the vertical pupil state in the Beast God Valley, right? In this state, you still need some energy circulation that conventional creatures require."
Lu Ning took a few big breaths of oxygen distributed by the white fox, and the pain was indeed relieved a lot. It seems that the devil can't adapt to Tianmuyi's environment.
"Thank you, that's enough." She had no intention of sharing the white fox's oxygen reserves. After relieving the discomfort for a while, she opened the mask.
"I just sent the signal, but there is still no response. Compared with our communicator, Tianmu is still too wide. Maybe a base station is needed to find our companions more easily." The white fox put the mask back into the back of the backpack and looked around, "Also This place is more like a valley... Anyway, the terrain has been destroyed a lot, and it’s hard to tell what it was before.”
There are only rocks and sand on Tianmu, and the terrain is always mountains, valleys, and plains. However, as Bai Hu said, this place does not appear to be naturally generated. Instead, it seems to have been carefully carved, and it is too much like a valley. .
Just as she was looking around, a man walked out of a cave on the cliff opposite. When he saw Lu Ning, his face suddenly lit up and he raised his hand. At the same time, Lu Ning and Bai Hu's ears A voice appeared that was as clear as speaking from a distance of one meter.
"I told you we would meet again, Captain Lu Ning."

Du Xieyi walked back to his cabin, opened the communication channel, and saw the report of NE-002.
[Tai has forcibly escaped from the control. The NE-011 and NE-015 teams that tried to hinder have been wiped out, and their corpses have been made into something similar to the original habitat egg. 】
"It was my dereliction of duty." Shang Shen Ke said.
"No, we didn't think about this problem, or in other words, we realized it was a bit late." Du Xieyi sighed. She originally thought that the two tourists would take such an abnormal person seriously, but she didn't expect these two people. They still underestimated Tai's danger, and even planned to stop him... The tourists' pride eventually killed them.
"Now is not the time to pursue responsibility. The key point is where has Tai gone now?" Chu Song said.
"Tianmu Yi." Du Xieyi immediately replied, "The modification of the escape cabin has been completed, and I can also free up time to deal with some other problems. How is the reaction from the mothership?"
"They won't come over, especially after observing the battle on Tianmuyi." Shang Shengua said with some disappointment, "Is this mission really going to let us fend for ourselves?"
"It's not that bad. We will lose, but we will win in the end. Right? General Chu Song?"
"Since General Chang Sheng has said so, he must have some plans?" Chu Song asked back.
"Tai is the civilizational achievement of the Rangers. I used the Observer's translation system to systematically re-translate the Ranger documents. This pronunciation means "us" among the Rangers."
"Um?"
"The name of such an important figure, and the only one who has awakened in the remains of the Rangers, is definitely not chosen randomly. His act of killing means that he also concealed and disguised himself, which will help us reveal the truth." His true face. Tai is the result of the Rangers’ desperate efforts to fight against Phantom Star Syndrome, and is the carrier of their civilization. To put it more simply, the Rangers chose to gather all civilizations into one body to escape the information cross-infection characteristics of Phantom Star Syndrome.”
After a moment of silence, Chu Song sneered: "Does a race known for its warlike nature still choose this method of cowardice and avoidance when faced with the life and death of the race?"
"When a civilization is extinct, it is no different from when a person faces death. It is normal to panic. General Chu Song asked too much of them." Du Xieyi smiled, "However, if based on this, Tai's actions The goal is actually very easy to understand, he wants us to use this method to avoid the fate of being wiped out by the Phantom Star Virus."
"Impossible!" Shang Shengua yelled, "Everyone becomes one? Their thoughts merge together? This... it's unbearable to think about it!"
"I know, so I'm just saying something. If Tai really wants to use force, just finish him off. He is still far from growing up, and the cognitive gap prevents him from feeling how important it is to kill an individual. On the other hand, I have also verified the observer's escape cabin plan during the repair process. The success rate is extremely low. Not to mention the complexity of memory erasure, the safety during the dormant voyage cannot be guaranteed. After all, The escape capsule itself has a fatal problem. If the protection is fully turned on, it will contain the influence of the designer's thinking. If no protection is turned on, it will be lucky to float in the universe for a year."
"It sounds like General Du completely disagrees with the final plan of these two civilizations?" Chu Song asked.
"Of course, the two civilizations struggling in death finally came up with a plan to survive. Although I admire the people who came up with it, if it is useless, it is useless to us. If I want to win, I must win beautifully. If it is like this If two homeless dogs survive, it would be better to shoot yourself in the head." Du Xieyi smiled and said, "Please try your best to cooperate with me."
"Give me a result and I will cooperate with you." Chu Song said.
"I can't guarantee that you will definitely be able to return to the Alliance. After all, I can't figure out how complicated people's hearts are. But I guarantee that you will survive in your current state, rather than with some disgusting appearance and a result that you cannot accept."
Chu Song smiled: "What I want is your promise."
