As Li Zhen had hoped, after turning three corners in the passageway, she became separated from the other Mongols who had no discipline whatsoever.

Although when I was trying to get information from the veteran earlier, the Mongolian's language skills were really terrible.

Fortunately, Rachel is there to help us at all times.

Without Li Zhen needing to rack her brains to conceive a three-dimensional map, Rachel's magic had already created a map of the interior of a war fortress area composed of black mist, based on the veteran's intermittent descriptions.

Through Rachel's telepathic projection, Li Zhen quickly located the location of the Mongo Vault.

If no one is around, just walk normally; if someone is around, Rachel will have to use her Shadow Dimension to dodge.

Li Zhen quickly and successfully located the vicinity of the suspected Mongo Treasury.

However, the security here is noticeably less lax than in other areas.

Several younger, stronger, and more responsible-looking Mongolian guards stood there protecting the area, wielding what appeared to be more powerful alien firearms.

"A T-shaped corridor with the main entrance in the middle. There are about six armed guards, two standing guard at the entrance, and the remaining four patrolling back and forth."

Taking advantage of her magical concealment, Li Zhen, who was standing at the far end of the T-shaped corridor, quickly peeked out before immediately retreating back into the corner.

This area was clearly deserted, even by other Mongosians who kept their distance. Therefore, even Li Zhen, disguised as one of their own, couldn't easily approach it.

It's time to make a decision again.

Li Zhen now has two options to choose from.

One option was to revert to the brute force approach, using his immense strength to send bricks flying, rushing over and wiping out the six guards, then tearing open the treasure vault door and plundering inside.

Before Mongo arrives in person, we'll sweep as many as we can.

However, there is a drawback: Li Zhen is not clear about the layout of the treasure vault.

Unlike the Western dragons in fairy tales, the treasures inside are not randomly piled up like mountains. Instead, they are classified into different levels according to their value, and each treasure is protected by different and independent measures.

Not only will you not be able to sweep up much stuff, but you also can't be sure that the treasures you sweep up are the ones you need.

The "need" here refers to those treasures that Mongo wouldn't use against him, leaving him helpless.

Even if you manage to snag 99% of the other treasures, you might still miss out on the Dimensional Reversal Cube, the bane of all physical opponents.

Wouldn't Mongo's treatment of himself be just like the Yellow-Eyebrowed King in Journey to the West using the Golden Bell to imprison Sun Wukong?

Heaven knows if Rachel's dimensional magic can still help her teleport out. Judging from the name of that cube and the scenario in which it was used, it's probably not.

There is a second option.

Then, with Rachel's help and the aid of the Shadow Dimension, they slipped in unnoticed.

As long as she doesn't alert anyone, Li Zhen will have ample time to slowly observe the internal structure of the treasure vault and find those relatively famous and threatening items from her previous life's comics.

Finally, like autumn leaves swept away by the wind, they efficiently disarmed Mongo.

Returning everything to its most basic form of competition is also Li Zhen's area of ​​greatest confidence.

However, there's a prerequisite for this.

That is, Mongo did not install a sufficient security system near the vault.

Other areas are a bit more scattered, with no cameras or scanners, which is understandable.

Logically, a treasure vault should be much more heavily guarded than other places.

Because Rachel's Shadow Dimension stealth speed is really not fast.

They might not even get close to the door before the hidden alarm system detects the magical energy threat. Changing tactics at that point would be too passive.

"Rachel, can you still contact Jason and the others telepathically?"

Li Zhen wondered if she could get the others to make the commotion even bigger.

But a pity.

Rachel closed her eyes and sensed for a while before shaking her head.

"The space inside this fortress is too vast; they have exceeded the limits of my telepathic perception."

"How about we play rock-paper-scissors?"

Li Zhen frowned and offered a suggestion.

"Whoever wins will use the plan based on their contribution."

"Do you know that unless you use your absolute fastest reflexes, you'll never beat me at this kind of game when it comes to telepathy?"

Rachel responded coldly.

Li Zhen chuckled and scratched her head. "Then let's stick to stealth."

As their thoughts merged, Li Zhen's body disappeared into the shadows.

Under Rachel's control, the shadowy mass on the wall began to move, shifting along the wall.

Whenever the active guards' gaze swept over, they would stop and remain motionless. In the ample light, the shadows cast by magic resembled extremely faint dark spots.

You wouldn't notice it unless you looked closely; there's a slightly darker area on the wall.

The closer Rachel got to the door, the more focused she became, and the slower she moved.

With only two or three meters left, Rachel was already sweating profusely.

Fortunately, the alarm was not triggered despite the close proximity.

"It seems aliens aren't good at magic either."

Lee Jung, who was lying low in the shadow dimension and had won, cheered on the girl.

Soon, the opportunity arrived.

Guardians, guardians! These Mongols, whose average strength, aside from those with the bloodline of the God of War, is only a few times stronger than Earthlings, are not indestructible machines. They too have moments of weakness.

For example, when the other team of guards comes over for the change of shifts, and the two sides hand over their duties, their eyes are not focused on each other for a moment.

Rachel pointed with both hands, and the inconspicuous pale spot outside shot directly to the feet of the guards.

Then, using their own shadows in the light, they squeezed little by little into the gap in the metal door, which wasn't perfectly closed.

"Wow, Rachel, you're a master of infiltration. I think Batman is nowhere near as good as you."

Li Zhen quickly flattered her and wiped Rachel's sweat.

"Hurry up, the longer it takes, the more dangerous it is for the others."

"Jason and Shazam? They're not exactly weaklings."

Li Zhen rubbed his hands together and turned his gaze toward the exit of the Shadow Dimension.

Then, the smile on his face froze.

"What's wrong?"

Rachel had just expended some energy, so her reaction wasn't quite quick yet. In contrast to the bright light outside, the entire vault was shrouded in a tranquil darkness.

This may be because some of the treasures in Mongo's collection do not like to be exposed to light.

But that's not the point.

The key point is that Li Zhen felt a pair of eyes were firmly fixed on him.

Or rather, it's locked onto the shadowy spot where Li Zhen and Rachel are hiding.

Even though the entire treasure vault was pitch black, the other party was absolutely certain that someone was in that particular area.

Then, a slightly hoarse voice rang out.

"My father said that a powerful individual, whose combined score of fighting spirit and strength was the highest in history, has entered our war world, as indicated in the war alert system."

I don't know if it's voice-activated, but the moment the other person spoke, several relatively soft lights lit up simultaneously.

A tall woman with the same skin tone as the Mongolians outside was standing next to several crystal display cases.

Of course, this woman is not pretty.

Her skin was pockmarked, and a scar ran down her left cheek, running across the left side of her face. She was unarmed, with two weapons resembling the steel forks used by Raphael in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles at her waist.

She looked at the dark spot with disdain and contempt, her gaze seemingly able to penetrate dimensions, striking Li Zhen's face directly.

"The result was a huge disappointment to me."

She raised her hand and gently patted the crystal display case beside her. Inside was an irregularly shaped metal object that looked like a Luban lock.

What kind of treasure is that?

Li Zhen couldn't recognize it; it wasn't shown in the anime or comics she had only seen.

"Father misjudged the situation. The strongman he thought he was had a weaker helper distract him, and then he cowered and ran into the treasure vault."

The woman, a high-ranking figure, took a step forward, exuding an imposing aura.

"Why aren't you running away yet? You cowardly rat who's always hiding!"

Li Zhen smiled.

If I hadn't read the original story of Mongo, I almost would have believed it.

This girl seems to be Mongo's daughter, but she doesn't seem to know that her father is the epitome of DC's tendency to resort to underhanded tactics and treasures when he can't win a fight.
