With his feet on solid ground, Bai Ling pulled his clothes and looked around thoughtfully.

What came into view was a muddy ground that looked like it had been scorched by fire. Messy black flowers grew in clusters on the muddy hillocks. Faintly, one could see some red sparks flickering in the field of vision, like slowly rising oxygen.

Tartarus.

This is said to be the "remains" of an alien species that once attacked the "origin" but ultimately failed.

Soon, the others appeared one after another from behind Bai Ling.

First is the taciturn group, which consists of Lin Ju, the witch, Li Jingwen and Song Qingci.

These people immediately followed behind Bai Ling, without saying anything, but just kept alert in secret, while sharpening their weapons or perceptions.

They can be Bering's strongest backing. Once any situation occurs, they will be able to discover it at the first time, understand Bering's intentions, and make targeted decisions.

At present, it seems that Lin Ju, Li Jingwen and others have made quite gratifying progress during Bai Ling's absence. Even a foreign species like the witch has to admit that compared to the first time she saw Lin Ju, she can now pose some threat to her.

This is quite shocking news.

You have to know that humans in this world do not have the same special body structure as aliens, so it is difficult for them to rely on their own physical strength to pose a threat to aliens, but this does not mean that they are afraid of monsters.

Will, thinking, and corresponding experience are the magic weapons that enable humans to win when dealing with abnormal events.

And it is obvious that Lin Ju has maxed out all these attributes.

Before Bai Ling disappeared, she had been running around as Ming Zhou's logistics staff, and in the process she had also received a lot of information. Moreover, before arriving in Xinhai City, she had also obtained a "corpse resurrection" potion suitable for her from Bai Ling.

With this thing, she can generate pure power that is no less than that of a "dangerous" level monster in a short burst.

Not to mention her experience and thinking. With such support, even if it is a "disaster", Lin Ju will probably be able to deal with it.

Of course, we can't win by fighting.

At present, there are probably no more than two dozen people in the world who can fight against "disaster" level monsters head-on. Lin Ju, who has only been training for a short time, certainly cannot be one of these people.

As for Li Jingwen, she was able to survive for so long in the "dangerous" level alien park at the "Aomori Theme Park", which in itself represents her strength.

She also got Xun Mo's sniper rifle from him.

This thing is Xun Mo's ultimate weapon. If Wang Weizheng hadn't forcibly confiscated it from him, Li Jingwen probably wouldn't even be able to touch it.

Since Xun Mo values ​​this thing so much, its effect is of course obvious.

First of all, its bullets.

That time at Yanxia Mountain, Xun Mo relied on this bullet to successfully destroy the "barrier" covering Yanxia Mountain with one shot.

Xun Mo's bullets have great destructive power, and are particularly targeted at things like "barriers". In addition, they can also fundamentally break some biological tissues. When dealing with the "Oath Breaker" before, similar bullets were also used.

In addition to the bullets, this sniper rifle itself has terrifying power.

After watching Xun Mo shoot with a gun, the witch said frankly: Even for her, it would be difficult to take this shot head-on.

Although the witch is undoubtedly at the bottom among the "disaster" level alien species, it is still at the "disaster" level.

So this thing is quite scary in terms of output, and it can be regarded as one of Bering's trump cards.

And the witch...

Her existence itself has extraordinary significance to Bailing.

Not to mention the "catastrophic" level strength that the witch possesses, the soul of the "ferryman" is still in the witch's body.

Just because of this, she is also one of the core members of this operation.

Song Qingci is the same as the witch.

As a part of the witch, she herself is also quite important.

The people in the first group followed behind Bai Ling, looking cautious.

After the first echelon is the second echelon.

The people in this echelon are characterized by "doing whatever they want".

Ling, who was once a "web weaver", and the "slit-mouthed woman" who was forced to become a web weaver by Bering, are both in this group.

Compared to the first echelon, the second echelon's main role is to assist. Although they do not have strong individual strength, their abilities are very special and have certain strategic significance for this operation.

For example, Ling. Although there is no network in Tianyuan, because her body is not here, she is immortal to a certain extent, and therefore can be used as a meat shield in many cases.

As a spiritual life form, the Slit-Mouth Woman also has a powerful effect similar to "immortality".

After all, the soul laws in the sky are almost gone, so naturally there is no way to deliberately target her. It can be said that as long as she doesn't commit suicide, ordinary people really can't do anything to her.

Therefore, although the second echelon is not as good as the first echelon in terms of comprehensive level, it is also considered the backbone.

Then.

The rest are even more heavyweight.

"Huh?! What are you talking about?! Do you believe me or not, I will tear your mouth off?!"

"Is there anything wrong with what I said? You bitch, you are so cowardly at ordinary times, but when you are safe, you get carried away and show off, then you get beaten up, and now you have become a slave to others, being ordered around and stepped on and shit on. It's really funny, you scum, you loser~"

Listening to the quarreling sounds behind him, Bai Ling couldn't help but sigh.

These two are really a perfect match. You are not inferior to me and I am not inferior to you.

At the same time, it is also the third echelon in the current team.

There are two people in this group, one is Ji Qianqin and the other is Red Spider.

Although they are all strong, they are relatively difficult to command due to their personalities. They are stronger than the second echelon, but not as handy as the first echelon, and sometimes they may even get themselves into more trouble.

Glancing at Red Spider who was about to explode with anger, and Ji Qianqin who looked helpless, Bai Ling sighed again.

In fact, they were not like this at the beginning.

Of course, Ji Qianqin couldn't have such a personality. The reason for everything was the oath-breaker with the Red Spider core in her body.

Although she is essentially an oath breaker, her personality is mixed with factors related to Starscream, which leads to her disliking Starscream himself.

It's probably like a grown-up, mature person looking back at the middle school notebook he wrote when he was younger.

…Although I do doubt whether she has grown up with it.

But the final result is that even if Ji Qianqin doesn't want to, the Oath Breaker often uses Ji Qianqin's body to taunt Red Spider.

No one knew what method she used to be able to make a sound even when Ji Qianqin didn't want to, and to mock the Red Spider who was almost unable to hold back.

It can only be said that she was buried in Ji Qianqin's consciousness space for some special reasons, and it is probably so deeply rooted that even Bai Ling finds it difficult to eradicate her.

And Red Spider...

Although I was very unhappy, I couldn't seem to find any reason to refute it.

Although what the Oath Breaker said was a bit exaggerated, it was basically true.

Most of the time, lies hardly hurt people. Only the truth is like a sharp knife that can cut open a person's heart and reveal his soft inner self.

So she broke down in a rare moment.

The two have been quarreling since they met. Although Ji Qianqin has tried to mediate many times, it seems that the Oath Breaker and Red Spider have very bad relationships, and they will end up quarreling no matter what.

Originally, Bai Ling wanted to join in the mediation.

But after thinking it over in his mind several times, he gave up.

All I can say is that the joys and sorrows of different people are sometimes different.

Bai Ling retracted his gaze and looked at the land in front of him again.

"This is the ruins of Tartarus," he said.

The witch standing behind him nodded: "You have been here before, so you may have some impression of this place. But I still have to say: Tartarus is not as simple as you think."

"He is the remains of a species that failed to impact the origin in the past. You can think of it as a 'whale fall' - on the body of that species in the past, other monsters have built a complex and bizarre ecosystem."

Glancing at the withered black flowers beside her, the witch said softly, "This place is different from the surface. There is no morality, responsibility, or protection. Everyone is looking forward to entering the surface to satisfy their sadistic hearts. Although as the guardian of Tartarus, I have ensured that it has no contact with the outside world to a certain extent, but due to many factors, something still escaped..."

The witch in the past was called "The Distorted Voice of Tartarus".

As the person who guards this place, after being granted a similar task by the Oath Breaker, the witch began to treat this place as her own "nest".

Later, due to various factors, such as the emergence of Nostradamus and the rebellion of Starscream, it became increasingly difficult for her to manage Tartarus.

Not to mention the monsters that reside in the abyss.

For example, the Hela that Bering had visited before didn't get along well with the witch.

"It doesn't matter." Bai Ling retracted his gaze. "We just need to go all the way down, enter the narrow space of time, and then follow Hermes' footsteps to let him open the door to the abyss. Other than that, there is no need to spend too much time here."

“…That’s what I said.”

Looking up, Bai Ling sighed: "It seems that some people are not willing to let us pass by so simply."

Placing his hand on the withered flowers, Bering gently picked off a few leaves and then stroked the rough leaves with his fingers.

“I see. Is it Hela?”

While rubbing the leaves together, just like an old prophet using a tortoise shell for divination, Bering said to himself, "Such a large-scale deployment has taken place. It seems that Hermes has caused quite a mess."

"But that's okay. This place is still some distance away from the Narrow Space of Time. In Tartarus, my abilities are also limited. I may not be able to handle the attack from so many people..."

"In that case, let's just resolve any future encounters through positional warfare."

With one foot on the withered flower, Bai Ling narrowed his eyes.

"Be prepared," he said. "If they try to launch a surprise attack, we will strike back. Let them know how foolish their actions are."

The others listened to Bai Ling's words.

Soon, everyone nodded.

This is the benefit of following the "prophet".

Before someone could act in a covert way, Bai Ling had already noticed everything. ——Sitting in a magnificent sedan chair made of bones, the "Goddess of Death" Haila tugged at her clothes: "Damn it...!"

Her pale skin was slightly flushed, and she looked extremely hot. "I haven't been out of the castle for a long time, and it's still hard to bear the stench of decay!"

Listening to her words, the servant next to her wiped the non-existent sweat from her forehead: "Please wait a little longer, Master. Soon, that annoying woman will be dealt with. By that time, we won't need to live in this castle anymore."

Servant: "We can enter the surface and live a life like normal people. Then we can kill as many mortals as we want, instead of passively accepting their sacrifices like we do now."

After listening to the servant's words, Hela's brows finally relaxed a little.

“Hehehe,” she sneered, “That damn woman would never have thought that we already knew in advance that she would be coming here.”

Hila slammed her hands on the table and spoke in a voice that seemed to come out from between her teeth: “You’ve been guarding us for hundreds of years and not letting us leave this damn place. You’re so powerful... This time, I’m going to tear that guy’s mouth apart!”

The male servant next to him said in a humble tone: "Of course. This time we have used all the military forces we can mobilize, and also hooked a special barrier for a surprise attack. Unless she can predict the future, the witch will never guess what she will face."

"Yes, everything is ready, our revenge is already decided!"

Hearing the servant's compliments, Hela's brows finally relaxed.

"Hehe, hundreds of thousands of undead troops, and some alien species that are no less dangerous..."

Hila opened a strange folding fan and covered the lower half of her face with the side that said “I’m poor”. She chuckled and said, “When I catch that woman, how should I torture her?”

"Although it's troublesome, she looks okay. Haha, if she takes off all her clothes and begs me, I can give her a chance to live. But, I think the concept of 'clothes' won't exist for her in the future..."

While muttering to herself, Hela looked outside the sedan.

Hmm? For some reason, Hela seemed to vaguely see some twinkling lights.

What is that...? For some reason, after seeing that thing, Hela felt something was wrong.

It was as if... that thing was coming towards me.

No, that's not possible.

Soon, Hela denied herself in her heart.

You know, she specially set up a barrier in this place.

As one of the most powerful beings in the abyss, her barrier is so complicated that many people are in tears.

Just like what his servant said, unless the other party knew his location in advance, it would be impossible for him to see through him.

Only people at the level of "Origin" could see through his arrangements at a glance.

"It's impossible that there is an Origin in the opposing team, right?"

Hela sneered.

Maybe I am deceiving myself.

As of now, there is no "origin" in this world. Although there was a similar atmosphere before, it was only a flash in the pan, and everything returned to silence in the end.

So, I'm afraid I'm worrying too much.

With that in mind, Hela waved her hand and said lazily, “Speed ​​up.”

"Before other hyenas set their sights on this place, I have to bring that witch back to my castle alive!"
