Buzz——!

The familiar sticky sensation of peeling away surged once more, deathly silence, putrid stench, and thick miasma instantly overwhelmed the senses.

Just upon entering.

The piercing hissing and the intense clash of energies coming from afar became much clearer, the air filled with tension and bloodthirst.

The entrance area inside the force field was already in chaos and clamor.

Several fast-reacting Sharp Blade squads surged like a flood breaking through, rushing toward the core of the vibrations and wails, the A-2 entrance!

Fang Qingyu and his group of three didn't pause for a moment, slightly expanding the Starlight Force Field to repel the miasma roiling ahead, closely following behind the "Red Flame" squad.

Merging into the fierce current of the A-2 entrance.

The passage sloped downward, wider than the D-7, but the destruction was more severe.

The fleshy walls torn apart, massive tumor-like tissues drooping like dying organs, with viscous dark purple liquid flowing like a blood river across the pitted ground.

At the front, the Red Flame squad's Captain "Lava" Lei Gang's body surged with a crimson aura, like a human torch lighting the way, whose violent aura cleared the path by incinerating the obstructing rubble and flesh into flying ash.

Yet, after only a few hundred meters, the passage suddenly branched out, like the menacing throat of a beast, forming dozens of deep, dark paths leading to unknown destinations!

The source of the violent vibrations seemed deep within this labyrinth of bifurcations.

"Split up!" Lei Gang's roar exploded in the passage, carrying undeniable authority, "Every path must be inspected! Find the source of the vibrations, find the intruder! Keep communications open, immediately alert if anything abnormal or strong enemies are encountered! Move fast!"

Time was pressing, every second might get the mysterious intruder closer to the core area!

The squad leaders decisively pointed and assigned routes without hesitation.

As Lei Gang's gaze swept towards Fang Qingyu's seemingly "weaker" team, intending to assign them to a relatively peripheral tunnel.

"We're taking this path!"

Fang Qingyu's voice resounded decisively, drowning out the surrounding noise.

His gaze didn't land on Lei Gang but on the face of Jiang Wei, cradled in his arms.

As soon as the bifurcation appeared, Jiang Wei's small hand tightly grasped his lapel, her clear eyes firmly fixed on one of the darkest paths, shrouded in dense gray-white chilling mist, her face displaying unprecedented gravity and certainty.

Following Jiang Wei's gaze, Fang Qingyu pointed to that tunnel without hesitation!

Lei Gang furrowed his brows, his gaze sharp as a knife sweeping over Fang Qingyu and the seemingly harmless little girl cradled in his arms, as well as the chilling, blade-like aura of Wei Banmeng beside them.

This team's combination was too peculiar.

Yet at this moment, there was no time for doubts!

The overwhelming aura that burst forth from Fang Qingyu, far exceeding his Micro Rank, made Lei Gang slightly wary.

"Alright!" Lei Gang nodded decisively, leaving only one remark, "Be careful! Call out immediately if there's danger!" He then waved his large hand, leading the Red Flame squad charging toward the main path with the most violent energy fluctuations.

Other squads also quickly split up, darting along their respective paths.

In an instant, Fang Qingyu's trio separated from the main group, venturing alone into the path cloaked in gray-white chilling mist.

Just upon entry, a bone-chilling cold penetrated their combat suits, even faintly suppressing the halo of the Poisonous Miasma Pill.

The miasma here carried crystal-like particles, compressing visibility to less than ten meters.

"Follow me!"

Fang Qingyu called out softly, holding nothing back!

Buzz——!

Celestial Stars Field expanded with full force! Within twenty meters, the air thickened like lead-mercury, the hindrance slowing the drifting icy miasma.

Inside, the Red Bright Tribulation Fire erupted violently, dark red molten patterns lighting beneath the skin, the Nine Heavens Primordial Visualization Method operating at full throttle, pouring brilliant starlight into the Dragon Sparrow Calamity Slash!

Thunder Instant Cloud Trace fully activated, speed escalating to its peak!

"Buzz!"

Leaving only a scorching, twisted afterimage in place!

Fang Qingyu, firmly protecting Jiang Wei in one arm and wielding a blade in the other, transformed into a black lightning bolt tearing through the dense miasma, racing down the passage!

The soft orange-red flames circulating around Jiang Wei offset the wind pressure and cold brought by high-speed travel.

Wei Banmeng's pupils slightly contracted! Known for her speed, she truly witnessed the terror of Fang Qingyu at full throttle now!

She dared not slack, her inner Observation Method operating to the extreme, dark purple flames bursting from her feet, her silhouette transforming into a silent yet ghostly fast purple glimmer, closely tailing that shadow of lightning seemingly merging into the darkness!

The three figures, in the narrow, icy, mucus-coated tunnel, dashed forward at speeds beyond ordinary comprehension!

The cutting wind shredded the miasma, emitting a piercing whistling sound.

The sparse Life Ghosts encountered along the way failed to react before being torn into shreds by the starlight blast from Fang Qingyu's blade or by the purple glow spilling from Wei Banmeng's blade tip!

In mere minutes, the passage ahead suddenly widened, forming a small space resembling an underground cave.

And in the center of the space.

A figure stood quietly with his back to them.

The man, seemingly aware of the commotion behind, slowly turned around the moment Fang Qingyu's trio burst into the chamber.

A metallic mask devoid of expression covered his face, revealing only a pair of cold, indifferent eyes, seemingly devoid of any human emotion.

Fang Qingyu and his party's gazes were immediately drawn to the man's... inhuman features.

His right arm, from the shoulder down, was completely covered by a menacing carapace with sinister barbs glinting with a ghostly blue metallic sheen, extending to half of his chest, the carapace throbbing slightly like a living thing, tightly fused with his flesh!
