It was a colossal, terrifyingly deep pit! Its bottomless depths seemed to lead straight to hell! At the center of the pit, there was not rock or soil, but a… torn space!

A spatial rift, tens of meters long, with its edges constantly twisting and writhing, flickering with ominous dark purple arcs of electricity!

The dense, tangible red mist, like a burst dam, was gushing out of the hideous wound!

The moment these mists surged out, they churned and condensed violently near the crack, shaping into howling mist demons at a visible speed!

Regular fog ghosts, special fog ghosts... like products mass-produced on an assembly line!

However, the stronger it is, the longer it takes and the more fog it produces.

Through the twisted, writhing edge of the crack, Xiao Jin's pupils suddenly contracted to the size of pinpoints!

Her eyesight was far beyond that of ordinary people, so in that fleeting glimpse of the crack, she clearly saw the bizarre, desolate, and eerie space on the other side of the crack!

In the center of that space, a rhomboid crystal, about the size of a fist, radiating a deep, dark light, floated silently.

It has no physical form, as if it is composed of the purest dark and chaotic energy, with countless fine, dark red lines flowing on its surface like blood vessels, pulsating slowly, like an evil heart!

Each pulsation was accompanied by a terrifying wave that made Xiao Jin's soul tremble! More torrents of mist also surged out!

source!

That's absolutely the culprit behind all of this!

That is, the core of the mother nest! There's no mistake.

Xiao Jin narrowed her eyes slightly, the long sword in her hand emitting a low hum, the cold blade reflecting the sudden, more dazzling light that ignited in her eyes than the stars.

Very good, at least the effort wasn't in vain.

Next, all that's needed is to detonate the buried explosives to destroy the 'core'.

…………

The spatial rifts, like scars on the earth, writhed menacingly in the deep pit.

The dark, rhomboid crystal suspended deep within the alternate dimension throbbed with each beat, striking Xiao Jin's heart like a hammer blow. The desire to destroy it burned in his blood, but icy reason instantly overwhelmed the impulse.

Too far! The shattered blade's edge couldn't even reach it!

"roar--!!!"

The mist demons inside the nest seemed to sense Xiao Jin's destructive gaze and let out an unprecedented, soul-shaking shriek!

Like cold water poured into boiling oil, the entire core of the ruins instantly exploded!

From all directions, above and below! Mist Ghosts of all forms, whether they are killers besieging other players, armored mist ghosts, or ordinary mist ghosts that have just formed from the cracks, or even those lurking in the shadows and under the rubble...

More than 80%! A full 80%! Scarlet or grayish-white eyes all locked onto Xiao Jin! The thick, viscous, and tangible malice that converged almost froze the air around her!

I accidentally stirred up a hornet's nest! And the biggest one at that!

Xiao Jin's scalp tingled instantly! Without thinking, her body's instincts kicked in faster than her thoughts!

"Whoosh—!"

A pair of enormous ice crystal wings, flowing with an icy blue light, suddenly unfolded behind her!

With a sudden flap of his wings, the violent airflow blew away the accumulated ash beneath his feet! Xiao Jin transformed into a blue meteor that tore through the red mist, soaring into the sky!

Just as she left the ground—

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The spot where she had just stood, along with the surrounding area of ​​dozens of meters, was completely engulfed by countless violent attacks!

The thick beams of corrosive energy melted the ground, leaving scorched pits, and dense bone spikes rained down like a storm, riddling the rocks with holes.

Several self-destructing fog demons fearlessly charged to the center and detonated with a bang, unleashing a death storm carrying toxic fragments and red mist! A few scythe-armed killers that were a little slower were even torn to pieces by their own side!

One step too slow, and you'll be shattered to pieces!

Upon seeing this, cold sweat instantly soaked Xiao Jin's back.

She pushed her wings with all her might, making one incredible, extreme change of direction in the air!

Strands of grayish-white, viscous silk flew past my feet, while scorching energy beams exploded into waves of heat beside me. Dense bone spikes and spraying corrosive liquid followed relentlessly like maggots clinging to my bones!

The special fog demons that can attack from a distance have turned the sky into a death zone!

Xiao Jin felt like he had stumbled into a target drone amidst a barrage of anti-aircraft fire, being relentlessly bombarded from all sides! The blue streaks of light darted wildly through the mist and beams of energy of various colors, creating a perilous situation!

"Damn it!" Xiao Jin cursed under his breath, his right hand using his long sword to deflect a tricky bone spike, while his left hand darted into his prop backpack with lightning speed.

The 'Wheel of Fortune' suddenly appeared in her hand!

The gun barrel was covered in the intense heat of flames, and the dark muzzle emitted a chilling energy fluctuation!

"Get out of the way!" A fierce glint flashed in Xiao Jin's eyes. He rolled rapidly in mid-air to avoid the three intersecting energy beams, raised the "Wheel of Destiny" with his left hand, and without even aiming, pulled the trigger hard at the area where the fog ghosts were most concentrated below!

"Bang bang bang—!!!"

The runes on the gun instantly lit up with a dazzling orange light! A torrent of metal, composed of spinning fire energy projectiles, shot into the mist below with a crackling sound!

Xiao Jin didn't need to worry about aiming; with so many fog ghosts like that, he could hit them with any shot.

Meanwhile, at the edge of the ruins, Zhao Chun's demolition team also encountered a crisis.

"Quick! Load the medicine! Coordinates 3!" Zhao Chun roared in a low voice, his only remaining right eye bloodshot as he stared intently ahead.

After the players lured all the Fog Ghosts to the front of the battlefield, his squad successfully used the complex terrain of the ruins as cover to plant three sets of high-energy explosives at the designated key structural support points.

Now, only one core point remains, which is also the closest to the edge of the crack and the most dangerous one!

"Sizzle... sizzle..." Soldier Xiao Liu, covered in sweat, stuffed the last piece of explosive into a crack in a concrete load-bearing column, and then began to connect the complex detonation circuit.

Beside him, two soldiers stood guard with their guns raised, watching the thick, impenetrable red fog, while the rest of the men stood in their positions.

Thunder wolves, red foxes, and others roamed around.

Just as the connection was about to be completed—

"Hiss... hiss..." A chilling, hissing sound, like a venomous snake flicking its tongue, came from behind a pile of twisted steel bars!

"Alert!" Zhao Chun roared, his gun instantly pointing at the source of the sound, and the others also locked onto the front at the same time.
