Cut off my way home? You'll sacrifice the entire other world in return!

The Crystal Forest truly lives up to its name.

The trees here are all made of black energy crystals, reaching heights of hundreds of meters.

They are not plants, but strange products formed by the energy released after Wang Qiang's self-destruction and its combination with the metal of the earth.

The Demon King crashed wildly among these giant crystal trees.

The tracks crushed the crystal clusters on the ground with a crackling sound.

The front of the car had already broken countless crystal pillars blocking its path, and its surface was covered with scratches, but the black demonic energy was becoming increasingly dense.

"This place is really tough."

Li Fan felt his arms vibrating as he gripped the steering wheel.

The energy density here is so high that it even causes strong interference to electronic devices.

The radar screen was filled with static and gibberish.

"System Navigation".

[Unable to locate.]

[Severe magnetic field interference.]

The system continues to play dead.

Li Fan didn't expect it either.

He took out the stone slab and used the coordinates on it to sense the direction.

Just then.

The little girl who had been leaning against the car window suddenly turned around.

"Brother, they're here."

"Who?"

"Those sparkling stones... they've come to life."

The voice just fell.

The previously still black crystal trees around them suddenly moved.

Click click click!

Countless crystal branches shot over like javelins.

Overwhelming.

Ding ding ding ding!

The Demon King's outer armor was instantly subjected to a barrage of attacks.

Sparks flew everywhere.

Although the armor was thick enough, such a dense attack would flatten even a mountain.

"Is this... a defense mechanism?"

Li Fan squinted.

This forest is alive.

It exists to protect that thing at the center.

"Hold on tight!"

Li Fan jerked the steering wheel.

The Demon King drifted away from a crystal spike.

At the same time, the main gun on the roof of the vehicle rotates.

boom!

A single shot shattered a large area of ​​crystal forest.

But it didn't work.

The shattered crystals, after landing, quickly reformed into countless small crystal spiders that surged towards the Demon King.

They climbed onto the tracks and the vehicle body, gnawing at the armor with their sharp mouthparts.

"It's annoying."

Li Fan pressed another button.

"Try this."

A ring of purple electric grids suddenly erupted from the surface of the Demon King.

The crystal spiders crawling on the car body were instantly electrocuted and fell off like rain.

But even more spiders swarmed up.

Endless.

"elder brother…..…"

The little girl looked out the window at the densely packed monsters and shrank back in fear.

But the next second, a strange light suddenly flashed in her eyes.

It was a warm, pale golden light.

She stretched out her little hand and pressed it against the car window.

"Don't come any closer."

She said softly.

The sound was very soft, but at that moment it seemed as if an invisible wave was spreading out.

The wave pierced through the Demon King's armor and swept across the crystal forest outside.

A miracle happened.

The crystal spiders that were attacking frantically suddenly froze.

The crystal trees that had been waving their branches also stopped.

It was as if time had stood still.

Immediately afterwards, the crystalline beings began to retreat.

It's like they're afraid?

Or is it submission?

They voluntarily made way for them.

A road that leads straight into the depths of the forest.

Li Fan was shocked.

He turned his head and looked at the little girl in disbelief.

"Girl, you..."

"They seem to...understand."

The little girl looked at her hands with some confusion.

"I just didn't want them to disturb my brother."

Li Fan took a deep breath.

He had previously felt that this little girl was his only source of humanity in that destroyed world.

Now it seems this girl's identity is definitely not simple.

To survive in this world filled with radiation and monsters, and to even be able to scare away this forest formed from the power of the previous Devourer with a single sentence…

Could she be...?

A thought flashed through Li Fan's mind.

The Heavenly Dao that he devoured in the previous world has not completely disappeared.

Perhaps... it hid the last trace of its essence in this little girl?

"Well done."

Li Fan patted her head.

"From now on, you'll be my passenger seat."

With the little girl leading the way, the rest of the journey went exceptionally smoothly.

The Demon King travels through the silent crystal forest.

The terrifying crystalline creatures around them all stood on either side like guards, bowing their heads respectfully.

A few hours later.

They finally reached their destination.

The center of the place where it fell.

This is a meteorite crater.

There was no crystal tree at the bottom of the pit, only a flat black area.

In the central government.

A spaceship lay quietly.

That is not a product of this world.

It has a silver-white shell, and although it has broken into two pieces and its surface is covered with charred marks, it still exudes a sense of technology that is ahead of its time.

the most important is.

Several somewhat blurred Chinese characters were printed on the side of the spacecraft.

【Dawn】

Chinese character!

Those are Earth's languages!

Li Fan's breathing became rapid instantly.

He stepped on the brakes.

The Demon King came to a stop at the edge of the crater.

"arrive."

Li Fan pushed open the car door and jumped out.

He practically ran into the pit.

When his hand touched the cold hull of the spaceship, a sense of familiarity from the depths of his blood surged into his heart.

This was made by the Earth.

Absolutely right.

Although this technology was centuries ahead of Earth before he traveled there, the design style, the writing, and the overall feel were still remarkable.

This is home.

"So... that's really how it is."

Li Fan's finger traced over those Chinese characters.

"Dawn..."

"Is there any hope of going home?"

"It's a pity it crashed."

He found the entrance to the spaceship.

The hatch was deformed, revealing the darkness inside.

Li Fan crawled inside.

The interior of the spaceship was a mess.

Broken cables and shattered equipment were everywhere.

But he could still recognize that it was the cockpit.

A mummified corpse was sitting in the driver's seat.

The mummified corpse was wearing a spacesuit and clutching a black box tightly in its hand.

Black box.

Li Fan walked over.

He wanted to take the box.

But just as his hand was about to touch it...

The mummified corpse suddenly moved.

It stiffly turned its head, and two red lights shone in its empty eye sockets.

"New...experimental subject detected..."

"Number...X-799..."

A hoarse, synthesized electronic voice came from the mummified corpse's mouth.

"Run!"

"This is... a trap..."

Before he could finish speaking...

boom!

Suddenly all the lights inside the spaceship turned on.

The red warning lights were flashing wildly.

[WARNING! Unauthorized intrusion detected!]

[Defense system activated!]

[Cleanup program started!]

Countless laser beams shot in from all directions, trapping Li Fan in the middle.

At the same time, a powerful gravitational field pressed down, trying to flatten him.

"The same old routine again?"

Li Fan snorted coldly.

"Don't you high-tech guys have any new tricks up your sleeves?"

He stomped his foot.

boom!

The spaceship's floor was trampled into a large crater.

The gravitational field instantly failed.

Ignoring the laser grid, Li Fan reached out and grabbed the black box.

"Bring it to me!"

Click.

He snatched the black box into his hands.

The mummified corpse lost its support and collapsed with a crash.

Li Fan took the black box and turned to leave.

But at that moment...

A loud bang came from the sky.

Li Fan looked up.

Through the hole in the spaceship, he saw a despairing scene.

The two purple moons in the sky have changed.

They are no longer round moons.

Instead, it turned into two open eyes.

Those are truly the eyes of higher-dimensional beings.

They were staring intently at the spaceship and at Li Fan.

Two beams of purple light shot out from the eyes and headed straight for the place where they had fallen.

"This is an attempt to wipe out their entire gang."

Li Fan gritted his teeth.

He shoved the black box into his arms.

Then he rushed out of the spaceship and jumped onto the Demon King.

"Girl! Hold on tight!"

"We have to run for our lives!"

The Demon King's engines roared under strain.

The tracks spun wildly, grinding sparks into the ground.

Just as the Demon King broke out of the crater.

boom!!!!!!

The two purple beams of light fell.

The entire crystal forest, along with the Dawn spaceship, completely evaporated at that moment.

The shockwave sent the Demon King flying like a toy.

But while it was tumbling in the air...

Li Fan tightly protected the black box in his arms.

And there was that little girl who screamed in fright.

"You want to kill me?"

"It's not that easy!"

A mad flame burned in Li Fan's eyes.
