Below them lay a continuous range of towering mountains.

As far as the eye can see, there is a dense sea of ​​trees.

"We'll split up and search separately; the black box is nearby," Mu Yun said in a deep voice.

"What does the black box look like?"

"The black square crystal, which is dozens of times smaller than a fingernail, should be within a hundred meters."

Chen Nian smiled and said, "There's no need to search separately, leave it to me."

"You?" Mu Yun asked, her eyes filled with doubt.

Chen Nian didn't say much.

Open the Heavenly Eye!

In an instant, everything within sight was taken in.

Even the insects under the branches couldn't escape Chen Nian's gaze, wanting to scan the area within a hundred meters, relaxed and carefree.

"There's someone!" Chen Nian turned his gaze away and pointed downwards.

"Walk."

The group immediately landed in the direction Chen Nian pointed out.

Mu Yun landed first and indeed saw a woman lying under a tree trunk. She was wearing the academy's uniform and was probably the recorder.

However, she had already stopped breathing.

Chen Nian, An Qingluo, and Yu Jing arrived shortly afterward and frowned upon seeing the scene.

The recorder died, and the mission indeed took an unexpected turn.

Mu Yun glanced at the beeping detector and said in a deep voice, "The black box is on her."

After saying that, he stepped forward, wanting to retrieve the black box.

I just got close to the woman...

suddenly!

The woman's body swelled up without warning.

"Watch out!" Chen Nian shouted instinctively, shielding An Qingluo behind him.

boom----

A fiery mushroom cloud shot into the sky, shaking the entire mountain forest.

This was no ordinary explosion; it was an energy storm capable of shredding the bodies of powerful individuals!

Chen Nian activated the "Judgment" domain to defend himself immediately, but even so, he felt immense pressure, which shows how terrifying its power is.

Not to mention Mu Yun, who was at the epicenter of the explosion...

"Seniors, are you alright?"

"fine."

Chen Nian and the others were all unharmed.

Looking towards the center.

The billowing dust was blasted away by a powerful gust of air, and Mu Yun's figure reappeared before them.

His entire body was enveloped in azure Xuan energy, and he was dressed in white, completely unharmed.

He clenched his fists in anger: "Damn it, this is outrageous!"

With a furious roar, winds rose from all directions.

Dust flew everywhere, and sandstorms howled.

The female recorder was completely destroyed in the explosion.

Clearly, this is a trap.

The woman's body had been tampered with; it would explode as soon as someone got close.

It seemed as if they were deliberately waiting for them.

"It's Gao Yue."

An Qingluo said in a deep voice, "If I remember correctly, his most powerful ability is called 'Atomic Burst.' It seems he tampered with the recorder's body beforehand, all for this moment."

That's why Mu Yun was so angry.

Of course, even with such a terrifying explosion, the black box would not be damaged, thanks to the academy's special technology.

The group searched through the ruins and finally found it with sharp eyes, Chen Nian.

"Open the college terminal and read the data inside."

"it is good."

Chen began reading the data from the black box, and the others also stared intently at him.

Inside is everything the recorder documented.

The last two lines are shocking.

Gao Yue has betrayed me! He's hunting me down! Help...

If I can't go back, I'll tell my team leader I don't regret it, and she won't blame herself.

......

This world belongs to the lower realms, with a lower level of civilization.

On Earth, where Chen Nian lived, the level of technology was basically stuck in ancient times. People didn't have cell phones, there were no cars on the streets, and the power system had not yet been formed.

Above the town, several people hovered in the clouds, looking down at the ground.

The woman at the head of the group, dressed in black armor, exuded a heroic and spirited aura.

She was dispatched to find energy crystals in this world in order to push the Calamity stronghold further into the upper world.

The 59th seat of the Primordial Demon God, with two wings.

Behind her were three Heavenly Dragon-level subordinates and a blond human man.

There are five people in total.

"My lord, our goal is to find energy crystal mines. Why are you always interested in these human towns?" asked the man named Zhuo Ning Tianlong in a low voice.

Shuangyi glanced at him indifferently: "Do I need to report my reasons to you for doing things?"

"Of course not, I was just wondering..."

The man named Tianlong immediately looked down and said, "This town is teeming with humans, living in peace and contentment. It's really an eyesore! Send my men to wipe them out."

Unexpectedly, the words had barely left his mouth.

The woman in black armor immediately looked at him, a cold killing intent flashing in her pupils.

"Try acting without my orders!"

"Hehe, no, no..."

"I'll go into the city to gather information; you all continue searching for crystal mines."

After saying this, the woman flew down towards the human town below.

Only after the woman left did the other two Tianlong dare to speak.

"You've got some nerve, daring to contradict the Primal Demon God!"

"Yeah, everyone knows she has a weird temper. Wouldn't it be suicide to talk back to her?"

Zhuo Ning grinned.

"Don't you think our lady is a bit indecisive? Besides, it seems to me that her mind isn't really on finding crystal mines."

"Your Excellency bears a striking resemblance to someone I know."

Another human spoke.

That's right, he is Gao Yue, the traitor.

During his mission, he encountered a winged enemy and was defeated in a fierce battle.

In order to save his life, he surrendered voluntarily and killed the recorder who accompanied him as a pledge of loyalty.

Leaving traps to harm the trainees who came to provide support was also something he did on his own initiative.

"Gao Yue, don't be complacent just because the adults have left. You already have a curse mark on you. If you try anything funny, you'll die a horrible death."

"Haha! My goal is to live and become stronger, not to become a martyr. Surrendering when you can't win is only natural."

"A coward who knows when to yield deserves a longer life."

Zhuo Ning suddenly spoke up: "I'm curious about what that woman is doing. I'll go to the city and take a look."

"You're insane!"

"Lady Twin Wings warned us not to follow her, or she would find out..."

Do you think I'm afraid?

Zhuo Ning gave a sneer of arrogance.

Before setting off, he received a secret order from the "Last Obituary".

If the two wings betray her, she can be killed and her power seized.

At that time, he will become the new Primal Demon God!

Now he finally understood why Lord Mofu had said that.

This woman's behavior is truly strange. She seems to care more about those humans than the mission objective, the "energy crystal mine."

The two wings entered the city.

The black armor had transformed into a dashing black dress, making her look no different from an ordinary woman.

She came to this world ostensibly to carry out a mission: "to find energy crystal mines."

But there is only one most important goal in my heart.

—Searching for my younger sister.

Twin wings was her code name after she became the Primal Demon God.

Her real name is An Ran.

For more than ten years, in his search for his sister, An Ran ventured into more than twenty world planes, but all his efforts were in vain.

This time, she received a prediction of the future from the "final obituary" and finally saw a glimmer of hope, so she naturally had to do her best!

So even if it's the most rudimentary method—asking everyone one by one, turning the world upside down—she would do it without hesitation.

"Do you know a girl named An Qingluo?"

"I don't know him."

"Do you know...?"

"Get out of here! Get out of here!"

"Do you know...?"

"Are you crazy? You're posting a missing person ad without even a picture?!"

........

The group read through all the recorder's notes.

Everyone remained silent, not uttering a single word.

Although the recorder had already sacrificed her life and her remains were nowhere to be found, the group still dug a pit on the spot, at least to give her soul a place to rest.

Chen Nian experienced the differences between people.

When he and Nanako teamed up, Nanako risked her life to help him at the last minute, and he would use the Corona Stone as a beacon of hope to save her.

Only through mutual support could they finally achieve a pyrrhic victory.

Gao Yue, in order to surrender, actually killed his partner as a pledge of loyalty...

This is an unforgivable sin!

"Is that Gao Yue very strong?"

Chen Nian, who was squatting on the ground digging a hole, suddenly asked.

An Qingluo nodded: "Gao Yue is one of the best among the sixth-level experts in our category, otherwise he wouldn't have been sent out to carry out the mission."

Mu Yun said in a deep voice, "I have fought against him in the arena, and he is indeed a formidable opponent."

"very good."

Chen Nian buried the black box in the soil, slowly stood up, and a murderous aura burst forth from his cold gaze.

"I've decided to kill the man surnamed Gao."

"?!"

Mu Yun looked on in surprise.

This kid, how come he's even better at showing off than me?!

The moment he uttered the words "A fifth-tier cultivator is going to slaughter a sixth-tier cultivator," his arrogant and boastful aura was impossible to conceal.

The key point is that this was a time when everyone was feeling down, and his act of putting on airs was perfectly timed.

Moreover... he has the qualifications and the ability to say those words.

After all, he's a pro who can score 4,000 points in a single day and break multiple training records.

"Good, good, good, junior! If we encounter Gao Yue later, he's in your hands."

Yu Jing analyzed expressionlessly: "Since Gao Yue lost, it means that there are beings in this world stronger than him, probably at the level of a Primal Demon God."

"The Primal Demon God, hmm... this is quite a lot of pressure. No wonder it's an S-rank difficulty mission."

Mu Yun realized that it was time!

The atmosphere was perfect; it was time for me to show off.

"Ahem!"

He put his hands behind his back and tilted his head up at a 45-degree angle to look up at the sky.

"Do not be afraid, everyone. With me, Mu Yun, here, no matter what kind of demon god we encounter, they are all insignificant. I will surely slay them all with my sword!"

Mu Yun was very satisfied with her wording.

The actions were spot-on, the emotions were on point, and the dialogue was excellent.

Now, in their eyes, I should be unparalleled in bravery and utmost reliability.

Huh? Why aren't they reacting?

I turned my head and looked.

Chen Nian and the other two had already turned around and left, discussing their next move as they walked.

"According to the information provided by the recorder, their purpose in coming to this world is to find 'energy crystals,' which will help them travel to higher realms."

"Hmm... We can't let them succeed. Stopping them from now on is also one of the mission objectives."

"I think we should first contact the local people to gather more intelligence."

Mu Yun hurriedly caught up: "Why didn't you wait for me?"

The outspoken Yu Jing said, "Senior, weren't you just showing off? We didn't want to bother you."

"That's not right. Such a word doesn't exist in our world; it's vulgar! Besides, I was trying to boost morale, not for personal vanity."

"But you look like you're imitating Chen Nian," Yu Jing said bluntly.

"you....."

Mu Yun was so angry that her meridians almost became disordered.

This junior is so tactless! She's such a clueless straight woman with no emotional intelligence! It's infuriating!

"There's a city in the direction we flew from earlier. Why don't we go there first, find a place to stay, and then start our investigation?" Chen Nian suggested.

"I agree! Although the mission environment is tough, I still want a place to shower and sleep," An Qingluo said with a smile.

Yu Jing: "No objection."

Mu Yun: What's going on? Aren't I the captain?

After following Chen Nian for a while, the group indeed came across a small human town.

"It seems that the technological level of this world is not very high."

"Judging from the soldiers guarding the city, their combat level doesn't seem high; they belong to a low-level martial arts world?"

"Let's enter the city through the main gate to avoid startling the locals."

"Oh right, it's best to change into a similar ancient costume, otherwise you'll be mistaken for a strangely dressed stranger."

Soon, the three of them found a secluded spot to change their clothes.

Mu Yun didn't need to change; he looked like a native, so he was called outside to keep watch.

"Let's go first, but don't peek, Chen Nian."

"Don't worry, senior, I've transferred."

Chen Nian waited impatiently for a moment, but his restless heart was firmly suppressed by reason.

"Okay~"

Chen Nian turned around and immediately saw An Qingluo dressed in an ancient blue costume.

Her long, black hair cascaded down her back, and her exquisite features were flawless. She smiled softly, as if the butterflies around her were drawn to her.

One word: Beautiful!

As for Yu Jing, she was dressed in black with a flat chest, resembling an agile assassin.

"How is it? Does it look good?"

"Senior, if you were born in ancient times, you would definitely be a princess-level femme fatale."

"It can talk! Okay, go change it."

Chen Nian also took out a set of ordinary gray-white outfit and began to change. Wearing it, he looked like an ordinary cloth-clad swordsman, very ordinary.

There were four people in this group.

Mu Yun and An Qingluo looked like a young master and young lady from a prominent family, while Chen Nian and Yu Jing looked like close bodyguards, which felt perfectly natural.

Any normal man would be drawn to a beauty like An Qingluo, except for Mu Yun.

He only glanced at it briefly.

Chen Nian tentatively asked, "Senior Mu, do you have homosexual tendencies?"

"nonsense!"

Mu Yun waved his sleeve and said, "I was born a prodigy, the center of attention. In my world, I have no shortage of holy maidens from various holy lands pursuing me. However, I am single-mindedly devoted to the Dao, and I came to the academy only to pursue a higher Dao."

"You have a broad vision! I'd like to visit your world sometime. Whether she's a saint or not isn't important; what's important is broadening my horizons."

"Yes, this mission has been successfully completed. I will go home for a visit. My younger sister must miss her brother."

"Oh, senior, you have a younger sister?"

Chen Nian had just shown a curious look when he was suddenly kicked by An Qingluo.

She smiled without showing her teeth, her eyes like the moon.

"Aren't you thinking too far ahead? Get to work!"

...
