"Qin Tan, watch out behind you!"
While Qin Tan was focused on dealing with the butterflies, her companions called out to her.
A strong wind blew against his back, but Qin Tan didn't turn around. Instead, he grabbed Xi Yang's arm, rolled on the spot, and left the place.
"Hide well."
She pushed Xiyang away and looked in that direction.
It is the Queen Butterfly.
The Queen Butterfly's enormous wings are beautiful and ever-changing under the light and shadow.
As it attacked, its hairy feet reached out in the air, attempting to restrain Qin Tan.
The other party's target is Qin Tan.
Qin Tan, wielding the Grim Reaper's Scythe, launched a counterattack against yet another attack from the enemy.
The butterfly queen had probably just woken up and posed little threat to Qin Tan; it was the butterflies that were more annoying.
When the scythe of death ripped through the opponent's wings, a sharp cry told of the Queen of Butterflies' pain.
Phosphorus powder was scattered all over the ground.
The instant the summer frost froze the butterfly queen's wings, Qin Tan leaped up and stepped onto the butterfly queen's back.
The Grim Reaper raised his scythe high and severed the opponent's wings at the root.
The butterfly queen, having lost her wings and fallen to the ground, looked like a large worm, constantly wriggling her body.
Blue fluid seeped from the wound, emitting a foul odor.
"It's really ugly."
Xia Yao sighed as she manipulated her puppet to land on the Butterfly Queen's head.
The puppet held a long spear, which pierced a bloody hole in the Queen of the Butterflies' head before the puppet crawled inside.
You can see the doll wreaking havoc inside the Butterfly Queen's body.
The spear would sometimes pierce through his body.
Having lost most of her mobility, the Queen Butterfly could only wait for death in place.
A long spear emerged from the Queen of Butterflies' mouth, and the soaking wet doll brandished the spear at its master, displaying its power.
The Queen Butterfly was on her deathbed.
The ice covered it, then it was torn to pieces by Qin Jie's strings, and finally it was reduced to ashes in Fan Zhi's flames, leaving not even ashes.
At the moment the butterfly regretted its death, the butterflies that were flying around in the air lost their momentum and fell to the ground, smashing into mud.
The threat of the butterfly queen has been resolved.
Just then, at the entrance, the giant vines controlled by Gan Pengpeng finally blasted a gap in the doorway, big enough for someone to pass through.
There were no traces of anyone outside the door.
Did they run away?
After everyone left, someone raised a question.
Here you can see some messy footprints, but it's hard to tell who left them.
"It's not safe outside, you guys come with me to the base first."
Gan Pengpeng made a decisive decision.
Anyway, with Qin Tan around, the curse is no problem at all.
Gan Pengpeng led the way, and the vehicles drove on the frozen ground. They spent the next few days on the road.
During this time, they also encountered some teams from Base 8 who were out searching for supplies, and they were also attacked by the White Ghost.
It was Qin Tan and others who came to their aid and saved them.
Three days later, on the morning of the 8th, they finally arrived at the outskirts of Base 8.
Unlike the Federation, Base 8 does not have tall walls; instead, a light blue barrier is erected on the outermost perimeter.
"This was made by our researchers using the phosphorus powder and crystals from the Queen Butterfly."
"We discovered that those strange entities do not attack the energy of the abyss."
"This screen will prevent them from noticing us here."
"However, this screen needs to be charged every day."
Gan Pengpeng introduced himself to everyone.
Upon entering, they found that the buildings here were more backward compared to those in the Federation, with few high-rise buildings and a primitive charm.
A rough estimate suggests that the population here is less than the combined population of the five federal districts.
The people here are all wearing thick clothes.
Ice crystals condensed throughout Base 8, creating a unique landscape.
In the very center of Base 8, there is a peculiar ice crystal fountain. After all the water in the pool freezes, ice spikes protrude, creating a bizarre shape.
"You can look at these things later. Come with me, come with me. The second leader is waiting for you."
Gan Pengpeng led everyone to the base's administrative center.
The arrival of Qin Tan and his group aroused strong curiosity among the people in the base, but fortunately, their gazes were not sharp.
When the office door opened, many people raised their eyebrows in surprise.
Sitting in the room was an extremely beautiful young man with blue hair and pupils that shone like jewels.
His hair was long and hung down his back.
His seemingly disparate yet exquisite features, when combined, are more beautiful than any woman.
When she looked over, her blue eyes carried a faint chill, pure and immaculate, a beauty that was extremely striking.
"Please have a seat, everyone."
The man gestured for everyone to sit down.
“My name is Tianchi, and I am the second commander of this base. I was the one who contacted you back then.”
The sound of Tianchi Lake is as clear and cold as the snowmelt flowing down from the high plateau.
"Welcome to our Base Eight."
"Thank you for your hard work on this journey."
"Could you tell me about what you saw and heard on your journey, and about some things in your Federation?"
You won't find the imposing and cold demeanor of someone in a superior position in Tianchi; instead, he is gentle and non-aggressive.
It's easy to relax when you talk to him.
"Let me speak."
Xia Yao, whose eyes were glued to Tianchi, volunteered.
She recounted everything that had happened on the road, and Tianchi listened, occasionally asking a few questions.
Xia Shuang interrupted Xia Yao just as they were about to talk about the Federal District One.
"What's wrong?"
Xia Yao looked at Xia Shuang, still puzzled.
"It's alright. I know you're still wary. We don't expect this cooperation to be completed in a day."
