"Shangjing United Security Company also sent their team." Lila announced, "They took another confidential route and may arrive at Hub Zero before us."
"Understood." Pan Ruiyin held the Star-Chasing Spear tightly. She was the strongest, the biggest, and the most powerful, so she habitually held the position in front. Even if she was uneasy, she still had to set an example.
They carry special underground exploration vehicles, a type of exploration vehicle specially used to climb over complex terrain. There are six vehicles in total, and they advance in the narrow underground tunnel. These vehicles carry explosive materials in the middle, with 101 and 102 at the rear, and the warning comes from Side and rear attacks.
The rat sentries were exploring the depths of the earth, and Lila's sensory magic needed to be used on the blade. The three hired rat sentries opened the way for the large army, traveling through rat crevices to search for traces of the crystallized people.
"Chirp." The rat sentry pointed forward, pointing out threats in the gaps.
I met the Crystal Man.
"Captain, shall we fight?" Zhang Yunxi asked hurriedly.
"Let me try, don't follow me." Pan Ruiyin carried the star-chasing gun deep into the darkness, turned on the light on the armor, and the cone-shaped halo illuminated the circular tunnel.
There are collapsed earth and rocks and scattered cracks everywhere, as if the rock giant has a rusty intestine, full of flaws.
There were indeed crystallized people, but as soon as they saw Pan Ruiyin's presence, they turned around and fled.
Pan Ruiyin turned back and motioned for others to continue following. She looked forward and saw that the tunnel was not going straight, but winding down the slope, as if leading to an unknown world underground.
"Are you still there?" Pan Ruiyin strode forward and spoke to Xu Yang repeatedly in the armor's built-in channel.
"I'm here, I'm here." Xu Yang kept communicating, while Pan Ruiyin sounded quite nervous.
Pan Ruiyin was not only nervous, but also lost half of his soul.
The claustrophobic environment of the underground is suitable for crystal people and rat people, but not for her. At this time, Pan Ruiyin was not surprised why Wei Shiyue refused to go down to the underground cave. She already felt that she was very good at fighting against witches who endured hardships and hard work, and she still felt uneasy. It must be more difficult for the pampered Moon Princess to adapt.
I really want to defeat myself and my own weakness! Pan Ruiyin thought silently while burying his head and moving forward. How could the Conquering Witch be defeated by fear?
At this point, Xu Yang listened to the silence in his earphones for a long time and had to confirm: "How is it? Are you still there?"
"Here!" Pan Ruiyin continued to move forward, holding the spear tightly with both hands. Just waiting for those crystallized people to suddenly appear, she was about to give them a hard blow.
I don’t know if it was originally dug like this, or if it was modified by the ratmen or crystalmen who invaded later. The entire tunnel became narrower and narrower, so those cars could no longer sit on it. The synthesized people jumped out of the car one after another and walked forward with explosives in their arms. .
The light tubes in their eyes shine with harmless white light, like a group of moving flashlights in the dark.
The cracks shrank, rocks overlapped, and the road ahead became narrower and narrower. Pan Ruiyin needed to slash left and right with his spear to open a path in the rock crevices.
The rat sentries shuttled through these gaps without any hindrance, and passed through those gaps with a slight shrinkage. They were very happy to have such a powerful partner behind them, and they felt confident enough to explore the way forward.
Going deeper and deeper, gradually, the network communication with the ground became unstable. Xu Yang reported the location to Pan Ruiyin. He found a network access point, which was the maintenance station near Hub Zero, and there was also a network access point. Available network interfaces.
Pan Ruiyin expressed his understanding.
After walking a little further, the communication was completely interrupted, as if she was disconnected from the entire world. Pan Ruiyin's heart was pounding. She still walked forward, but every step felt like stepping in fog and shadow, and no matter how solid the rocky ground, she could not
Provide the slightest sense of security, making her feel like she will be out of touch at any time.
They came to a dark cave with no name and no daylight.
The entire underground tunnel became more twists and turns and narrower. Her steel boots protected her feet, otherwise she would definitely be stabbed by the rugged rocks. She looked up and saw some cables and pipes hanging above Pan Ruiyin's head. Something huge was struck from the middle.
The force tore it off, and the sarcoma spread from it, bleeding continuously. Was it the Crystal Man? Pan Ruiyin was not sure. Why did they bother to tear these cables.
Citizens who live in ease can never imagine that there is such a weird place under their butts. Pan Ruiyin thought to himself. The mediocre people are protected by the warriors to the death. Ah, he is such an invincible warrior, and he can kill whoever he wants...
…
But she couldn't conquer the dark cave in front of her, and she couldn't make this annoying cave wider. The surrounding temperature was getting higher and higher. Pan Ruiyin felt like he couldn't breathe. The whole world seemed to have become a super compressor.
Prepare to crush her into small pieces.
Pan Ruiyin stopped and looked back, seeing the entire team moving forward resolutely and performing much better than Pan Ruiyin.
Synthetic people don’t know what fear is. Zhang Yunxi has always trusted Pan Ruiyin and never stopped. The youngest Qian Meng is eager to prove that she is no weaker than other fighting witches. She looks at Pan Ruiyin as if she is still confused as to why she stopped. 101 and 102 are even more so.
They were highly concentrated at the back of the team and kept alert. They had seen too much blood and flames in their short six years of life and had long since become real warriors.
They were so determined, which put Pan Ruiyin to shame. A strong desire to prove herself came to her, and she turned around and continued walking forward. In a few moments, she suddenly thought of the knowledge she had learned during the training, and realized why the tunnel suddenly became
This appearance is entirely the result of geological activities. The terrain of the northern archipelago is broken, and such haphazardly dug tunnels will easily bend and twist.
"There's a flash ahead, a flash." The rat sentry returned and pointed toward the deep abyss ahead.
"...Jie, Crystal Man?" Pan Ruiyin didn't speak for a long time underground, and was speechless for a while when he spoke.
"Yes, yes." The rat man suspected that the big girl was imitating rats to make them look embarrassed, and his beard trembled angrily.
"Okay, okay..." Pan Ruiyin naturally couldn't notice such details, and strode forward. He saw colorful lights flashing in front of him, and several crystal people were resting here.
Seeing the sudden appearance of the enemy, the crystallized man rushed over angrily and waved his crystallized arm towards Pan Ruiyin.
She shouted and lunged forward.
"Yaori Slash!" She activated her magic power, turned around and brandished the Star-Chasing Spear, and quickly swept away all the three crystallized people in front of her. They were smashed away and hit the rock wall hard with a muffled sound, but the crystal coating on her body did not.
No harm at all.
"Ouch——"
"I'll kill you!" The crystallizers quickly got up and attacked Pan Ruiyin.
She jumped forward and hit their heads with her spear. Although it did not cause any damage, it greatly shocked their bodies buried in the crystal bodies, causing them to appear in a state similar to dizziness.
Seeing that this tactic was effective, Pan Ruiyin fired multiple shots and repeatedly hit the heads of these crystallized people. When they all fell down due to severe concussions, the crystals surrounding their bodies were still hard.
This place is like a warehouse, filled with miscellaneous objects, including many occult items that have been drained of their magic power. The crystal bottles and Holy Grails have lost their luster. Pan Ruiyin asked the synthesizers behind him to snatch away the trophies hidden by the crystallizers and stuff them into their respective rooms.
Among the military carrying equipment.
Pan Ruiyin felt like she was sweating. What's wrong? She thought to herself. Is she sweating after such a small amount of exercise?
The witch's armor was worn on top of a tight suit that covered her whole body. Now this sweat-absorbent and quick-drying jumpsuit had become sticky. The smell felt strange even to her, so she sat in a corner of the cave.
"The tunnel maintenance station is down there." 101 felt that Pan Ruiyin was not in good condition, so he used the far-sighted orb to detect the situation, "I will take you there first, and the others will follow shortly."
"Thank you." Pan Ruiyin reached out and shook hands with 101, and was quickly transported to the maintenance station by her.
The maintenance station is in disrepair and has been unmanned for many years. Once the equipment is damaged, no one will maintain it. However, the uplink network module can still be used, and Pan Ruiyin is connected to the network interface on the wall.
"Are you okay?" Xu Yang asked.
"Very good." Pan Ruiyin muttered.
She looked around. There were dark, huge transformer boxes everywhere, like black walls, with metal cables connected to the top. The walls were covered with various warning signs, as if it was a sin for her to be here. Abandoned
The vehicles are piled in the corner of the site. When they were created, they must not have expected that they would be buried deep underground.
There were also pieces of flesh, swollen pieces of flesh like blood vessels and tentacles all over the ground, sticky and disgusting, breaking out of the mottled and fragile parts of the wall.
"It's okay, as long as..." Halfway through Xu Yang's words, Pan Ruiyin saw the indicator light of the network module in front of him turn red, wondering what was wrong.
She unplugged the wiring and turned around to see the other team members coming down one by one.
"It's very close, just below." 101 used the reconnaissance orb to constantly see through the situation. She wanted to make a quick decision, so she took everyone away from the maintenance site and drilled through a narrower gap. 102 used her hands to open the rock.
The walls and clods of earth were shattered under her tremendous strength, making it easier for Pan Ruiyin to pass through with her steel wings on her back.
"We're almost there." Zhang Yunxi held her breath when she heard the crystallizer's muttering just a wall away below.
"Down here is the No. 0 hub where the Crystal Man holds a party." 101 squatted on the ground and observed with his orb, "I saw an ultimate Crystal Man who looked like a super leader, and... there was also a huge, extremely... ugly
of flesh cocoon.”
"I'm afraid Suzukawa Kii is hiding in the cocoon." Pan Ruiyin asked the synthesizers to put down the explosives. These things will open a big hole in the ground and lead directly to the zero hub. "I will open a road, and you will follow."
Pan Ruiyin attached the moon-white flame to his star-chasing spear and asked them to move as far away as possible to avoid the danger of being thrown by rocks. Then he personally pulled the fuse, walked several hundred meters away, and pressed the detonation button.
Boom——Boom——
She still heard a terrifying loud noise through her helmet. The entire underground rock mass shook violently and collapsed. Pan Ruiyin quickly felt that the world beneath her feet was empty. The power of the explosion was even more terrifying than she had imagined. Almost the entire rock mass in the space exploded.
, her whole body fell downwards, and quickly landed in the center of the Zero Hub.
"Intruder!" Great Elder Al-Ariz was still reciting prayers. He immediately saw Pan Ruiyin falling into the field. There were at least a thousand angry crystal giants, crystal men and crystal turtles around him. The whole space was colorful. Pan Ruiyin couldn't see his direction clearly for a while.
"Kill her!"
"Uh oh oh!" The crystallizers swarmed forward, preparing to besiege.
Pan Ruiyin entered a fighting state. Suddenly, she felt that all her confusion, tension and worries were swept away. For her, the gloomy and terrifying underground world turned into another form, becoming her display of force and violence. The ultimate proving ground.
"It's up to you to challenge -" Pan Ruiyin raised the star-chasing spear high, "Come and die!"
The heroic spirit is dry and cloudy.
"Let's come too!" In the rock crack that exploded above her head, she patted off the dirt and dust on her body and pushed away the rocks. Zhang Yunxi, 101, 102 and "Rui Zu" were combined. People jumped down one after another, preparing to kill the singing group. The singing crystal beings were completely annihilated, leaving no one behind!
Qianmeng squatted on the top of the crack, holding a sniper rifle to look for threats.
The giant flesh cocoon squirmed faster and faster, as if it had encountered something extremely terrifying.
At the other end of Hub Zero, the troops of Shangjing United Security Company, who had been ambushing for a long time, had also seen the situation. They had been waiting here for a long time, waiting for the people from Nisto Company to take action first, so that they could profit later.
"Look, that mysterious army is coming." Masato Kano, the ninja master, is also going to join the battle. He is waiting to see the situation. "This is your chance to wash away your shame, samurai-kun."
"I cannot plot against the enemy who is fighting." The Quantum Warrior held the Shilou Pill tightly.
"Are you talking about martial ethics? Then why don't you just take action and let us wait?" Masato Kano turned to look at the other security personnel behind him.
"...What the Lord wants is victory! Only the mysterious flame they carry can ensure victory. Now the opportunity to win has appeared, attack!" The Quantum Warrior jumped out from his hiding place and led other security personnel out.
This guy's brain influenced an entire generation of combat synths. Masato Kano saw the Quantum Warrior joining the battle, and turned around to see Pan Ruiyin who was fighting.
He wanted to attack Nisto Company and avenge the deaths and injuries of his apprentice Blood Shadows, so he made a secret in his hand and teleported to Pan Ruiyin's head.
"I'm here to help you!" Masato Luye shouted loudly, but in fact he spit out a mouthful of fire at Pan Ruiyin.
Pan Ruiyin mistakenly thought he was a partner and had no reaction yet.
Qianmeng was shocked when she saw this scene and quickly stopped time.
Everything is stopped under time constraints!
Everything is stagnant!
Immediately afterwards, she aimed at Masato Kano and blasted the ninja master's head.
