All around was boundless darkness and the smell of earth; everywhere was cold and gloomy.
Lin Ruo teleported several times, always tilted upwards. The giant tree she had just seen was located directly below Mount Heng. To return to the ground at the foot of Mount Heng, she needed to move both horizontally and upwards.
While sensing her location, she teleported more than ten times before finally returning to the ground. The surrounding area was covered in white snow, and it was no longer the place where she had gone down.
Lin Ruo took a deep breath, and the cool air entered her nostrils, permeating her entire respiratory tract with coolness. Although she could breathe underground because of the spatial domain, the air was not as fresh as the air above ground, and she always felt a sense of suffocation, which made her very uncomfortable.
The chilling air of the snow cleared Lin Ruo's mind considerably. Looking at the snow piled up at her feet, she realized that the fierce winds around Hengshan had subsided, and the entire mountain seemed to have quieted down.
She gained a lot from this trip to the underground of Hengshan Mountain, especially from the advanced mutated plants and animals, but she also encountered many questions. The questions that she thought she could answer once she arrived here seemed to be more complicated than she thought.
She stood there for a while, pondering. Her mental energy probed into the space. Ah Liu had already returned to her original form in the life space, and the energy on her body was still flowing continuously. Although this energy was not enough to make Ah Liu level up, it could still greatly increase her strength.
She currently has about 30% of her superpowers remaining, and she needs to find a place to recover them.
...
Night fell as expected, the surroundings were pitch black, and there wasn't a single star in the sky, like a ferocious beast about to open its mouth and devour people.
At that moment, a bright light streaked across the sky, illuminating everything around it.
"It's been a whole day, and Sister Ruo still hasn't come back."
Jiang Yue sat in the fighter jet, looking down through binoculars. By the time the fighter jet passed over Linruo Mountain, Jiang Yue was quite certain that Linruo had not yet returned.
The mutated plants and animals on this mountain are all on high alert. The mutated tiger and Afu and Ashou have been leading these mutated animals on patrols. If Lin Ruo were to return, they wouldn't be so nervous.
Because of the attack last night, Jiang Yue and his group were worried that there would be other superhumans trying to force their way in today. Although the mutated plants and animals showed great strength yesterday, he was still a little uneasy, so he led his men in fighter jets to come over again.
This time, those superhumans weren't as arrogant as they were yesterday, probably because they knew the attitude of the B City base and didn't dare to openly provoke them.
Only a few superpowered teams were restless at the foot of the mountain, but they dared not act because of the constantly vigilant mutated plants and animals on the mountain peaks and the fighter jets in the sky.
Just then, the fighter jet's radar beeped. Jiang Yue glanced at the control panel, then looked up at the dark sky as if he had a premonition. A black figure was rapidly approaching them at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye. Although Jiang Yue couldn't see anything, the person wasn't trying to hide, and the radar was constantly reflecting the other party's position.
The crew members on the fighter jet tensed up, thinking there were special ability users among the superpowered teams below. Only Jiang Yue's lips slowly curved upwards; at that speed, only she could achieve it.
A few seconds later, a familiar face suddenly appeared on the glass next to their fighter jet—it was Lin Ruo.
"Sister Ruo! You're finally back."
Lin Ruo reached out and grabbed the fuselage of the fighter jet. The fighter jet's outer shell was made of underground minerals, and even with Lin Ruo's strength, he couldn't damage the outer shell.
As soon as she stabilized herself, her thick, icy wings folded back to reduce wind resistance during fighter jet flight.
Through the fighter jet's glass, she saw Jiang Yue's face, his brows furrowing slightly.
Why was Jiang Yue leading people around her mountain peak in the middle of the night? Then she used her spiritual power to probe downwards and discovered something unusual about the mountain peak. Afu, Ashou, and the others seemed particularly nervous.
Her aura turned cold, and Jiang Yue noticed it too. Fearing that Lin Ruo might misunderstand, he opened the fighter jet's hatch and shouted to Lin Ruo, "Sister Ruo, do you want to come in and talk?"
Lin Ruo glanced at him, remembering that Jiang Yue had been quite clear-headed before. She temporarily put away her cold aura, and in a flash, she appeared inside the fighter jet.
The people in the fighter jet only felt a chill beside them, and when they turned around, Lin Ruo was already sitting next to them. As for the way Lin Ruo came in, they had no recollection of it at all. For a moment, they were all amazed by Lin Ruo's speed.
"Sister Ruo! You're finally back! Those bastards down the mountain are going to be screwed."
"Yeah, Sister Ruo, why are you only coming back now? Did something happen on the way?"
There were three superhumans in the fighter jet, plus Jiang Yue, but the space inside was quite large, and Lin Ruo didn't feel crowded at all after entering.
Lin Ruo didn't answer these people's questions, but only looked at Jiang Yue, "What's going on?"
“Those superhumans saw that you didn’t come back last night and wanted to take advantage of your situation. We got the news and were worried that Afu and Ashou wouldn’t be able to handle it, so we thought we’d come and help.”
"As it turns out, the mutated plants and animals on your mountain are very powerful. We couldn't help much, we just deterred them. Those superhumans were all killed by them."
Last night, Lin Ruo's brows furrowed even deeper, which meant that today wasn't the first time?
Her powerful mental energy surged out wildly, spreading downwards in an overwhelming manner. She indeed found several teams of superpowered individuals lying in ambush at the foot of the mountain. She narrowed her eyes slightly, feeling the chill on her body growing stronger. She had originally thought that the incident at Baiyu Base would teach these people a lesson and make them behave themselves, but she never expected that these people would dare to cause trouble on her mountain while she was away, trying to steal her home.
