As for dispersing clones to ambush those rangers... not to mention that as rangers they have been given the full power to freely travel through the plane of the world, just saying that with the blessing of the source of the world, the rangers undoubtedly have an attack bonus to themselves, and Baiyin is not absolutely sure of being able to succeed in dealing with them.
Then there is the 'half body' in the mirror universe, which is under the protection of the sacred tree. The current mirror universe is obviously much more dangerous than here. If Baiyin really goes there, he cannot guarantee success. The most important thing is that he is more worried that Yuhuan's 'clone' may still be lying in ambush there, waiting for him to fall into the trap.
As for the direct attack on Yuhuan, the instigator of everything, from the ruins castle... this is a more feasible plan. Although the place there seems to be the most difficult to break through due to the relationship between Yuhuan and the reincarnated goddess, it is precisely because Yuhuan seems to have sent everyone out to support various places, thus creating the conditions for Baiyin to infiltrate and assimilate Yuhuan with the greatest possibility.
However, this possibility was undoubtedly the most risky. After all, the ruins castle was a legacy left behind by the goddess. Given the goddess's meticulous nature, Baiyin couldn't guarantee that she hadn't set any traps there...
“It’s really ironic when you think about it…”
While pondering various feasible methods, Baiyin suddenly laughed unconsciously, as if mocking himself, and said:
"What I'm doing now is clearly to revive our most revered goddess, Her Majesty. However, all the obstacles so far are actually means left by that goddess specifically to target us. This is truly..."
In a situation that made people unable to laugh, Baiyin, with his eyes constantly changing, finally sank deeply into the crystal coffin filled with silver-white liquid again, looking at the goddess who was still lying peacefully in the coffin as if she was sleeping. The silver-white light seemed to emit some softness, but the next second, as if he had made up some kind of decision, bits of shining silver-white liquid began to drip onto the crystal coffin, and then more and more... until the whole crystal coffin was wrapped in it.
110.Outbreak
"Boom~~~"
A deafening roar like a mountain torrent and tsunami suddenly erupted at a certain moment in this "forbidden land" that no one cared about. The silver that rose into the sky was no longer like a volcanic eruption, but like a tsunami that covered the entire desert and then quickly spread to the surroundings.
Wherever it passed, no matter if it was ruins, deserts, buildings, forests, etc.... no matter if it was alive or dead, organic or inorganic, etc., there was no difference, no distinction. Wherever the silver passed, it was rendered into layers of silver-white color.
"Ho ho ho~~"
"Quack~~~"
"Squeaky~~~"
It was... a scene as if the apocalypse had truly arrived. And in this scene, the most sensitive and the first to sense the danger were undoubtedly the exotic beasts living in the forbidden land. The moment they felt the silver wave, they began to scatter in all directions, running for their lives... Beneath the rolling yellow sand, only thick trails of smoke and dust remained...
"Gululu~~~"
The silver liquid with bubbles rolling around in it ignored all of this. At this moment, it seemed to be infinitely amplified and continued to expand in all directions. At the same time, it was also continuously assimilating everything submerged in it and constantly creating clones to continue expanding.
It was like a vicious cycle that would never stop, constantly devouring the surroundings to obtain energy, and then using this energy to spread. At this moment, the silver seemed to have directly abandoned its long-standing principles of concealment and caution, and just continued to spread in all directions. If you zoom in from the sky at this moment, you can also clearly find that in the endless desert, the silver-white spots visible to the naked eye are expanding little by little, and getting bigger and bigger!
Even though this scene occurred within the forbidden area, it was undoubtedly known to everyone. When the ever-expanding silver was first discovered by a group of scavengers, when the Zeya satellite clearly captured the silver's energy, when Skynet also discovered the unknown and aggressive energy reactions in the desert, and when Yak issued a warning...
At that moment... the whole world was undoubtedly shaken!
"Ah~~ Is this guy...desperate?"
In the room of the ancient castle, Yu Huan clearly saw the message coming from the direction of Zeya on the light screen in front of him. He immediately smacked his lips in amazement and sighed. At the same time, Tian Ling's voice also rang out in the light screen:
"Sister, what should we do now?"
Baiyin has obviously given up his plan to hide in secret, and instead adopted an all-out offensive approach. Although the other party did not obtain the goddess's divinity due to Yuhuan's secret calculations, to put it bluntly, the divinity is just a core product of the condensation of divine power. Since he can't get it... then just create one!
Although the divine power required to create a godhead is basically an astronomical figure, and the power of the world's rules is needed to gather such a core, these are obviously not a problem for it, which is the original "silver" born between heaven and earth. As long as there is enough energy, reshaping the godhead is not impossible.
Perhaps it is because of this reason that Silver began to invade the world without reservation!
Compared to those plane worlds attached to the main world or the mirror universe reflected through this world, there is no doubt that the goddess's hard work and divine power contained in the main world are the most abundant. Even though it has only been eroded to a degree of less than one ten-millionth now, Baiyin can still feel his own power constantly rising.
In this case, as long as there are no obstacles, perhaps it only needs to devour this world, and then it will not only be able to condense a divine nature again, but also be able to spread its clones to countless planes of the world through the main world as an axis, and occupy them one by one.
Of course... this is without anyone organizing it!
"It seems that Baiyin is really mad this time and is desperately trying to do something desperate!"
Across the light curtain, facing Tian Ling's question, Yu Huan couldn't help but frown slightly, and immediately said with some distress:
"My original body is still in the inheritance and can't leave the room. Even now, even with the help of the power of the remote, I have created a mirror clone. However, I am currently on the mechanical planet dealing with the parasites released by Baiyin... Perhaps this is also part of its calculations. These parasites are now like crazy, corroding the surrounding machinery and launching indiscriminate attacks. It may take some time to deal with them!"
Xiao Ya and the others were still in the Silver Temple and had not come out yet. The Demon Realm had its own barrier protection so there was no need to worry for the time being. However, Shi Lei and the others who were in it had no way to go to the mainland for support immediately.
The rangers from various planes can be freed up, but there is a possibility that Silver will send clones to cause trouble in the plane world while eroding the main world. Therefore, it is better not to use the rangers if possible.
After all the calculations, facing the current situation, Yu Huan suddenly found that he had no idea how to deal with it.
After all, the direction of silver's current erosion is the entire world. Although the Demon Realm, Tianyu City, and the Mirror Organization are sufficient in terms of self-protection, it is obviously difficult to say about other forces... Especially those scavenger camps scattered in the ruins. As a member of the scavengers... Yu Huan naturally cannot leave it alone!
"Fortunately, we have a backup plan..."
After thinking about it for a long time, Yu Huan finally murmured to himself. He immediately looked at Tian Ling on the other side of the light curtain with a serious expression and said:
"Send the signal. First notify the Demon Realm and the Mirror Organization, and then contact the Scavengers Alliance and the people in Tianta City. This is a global disaster. We are obviously too weak to rely on ourselves, so it's time to let other forces understand the truth of this world!"
The Silver that wants to devour the world, the Silver that wants to revive the former goddess, under a truly world-class disaster, no one can be spared. So since the Silver wants to devour the world, it is obvious that it has to ask the residents of this world... whether they agree or not!
111. Scavengers
No. 8569, Ruins Land.
This high-level ruins site, with a danger level of A, is famous for the ferocious beasts lurking in it and the thick white fog that permeates the sky over the entire ruins. It is one of the high-level ruins that scavengers often visit.
The white fog is harmless, and because of the white fog, the senses of the strange beasts in it seem to be slightly affected. In this case, as long as you carry some instruments and be careful, you can basically avoid all the strange beasts and explore the ruins.
Of course, this is not the point. The point is that no one knows what kind of big city this relic was before the Mirror Destruction Day. Even though it has now turned into ruins, it still contains almost countless resources, weapons, etc.... Even though it has been mined for nearly ten years, according to the exploration of scavengers, it is still found that there is still nearly half of the undeveloped area in this ruin.
For the scavengers living in the ruins, every unmined ruin is a hell full of dangers, but it is also a gold mine waiting to be developed. The pursuit of wealth and honor in danger has attracted many high-level scavengers to come here, and their purpose is naturally to gain something from this ruin called the "Fog City".
It was another sunny morning. As usual, Zhao Tian prepared to go to the Fog City for investigation with his scavengers after completing his preparations.
As a team of scavengers that had been promoted to A-level two years ago, ordinary scavenging obviously could not satisfy their growing strength. Therefore, what they needed now was obviously not just supplies, but a way to improve their scavenger level. This method was actually very simple, and one of them was to obtain qualification upgrades after successfully developing unknown areas.
Because of this, Zhao Tian's team is undoubtedly full of energy and ready to go for this preparation and exploration of the Fog City. Their goal is to explore the Fog City, increase the visibility of their scavenger team, and strive to become S-level scavengers as soon as possible!
"Okay everyone, are you all ready?"
The war armor just purchased from Tianta City was worn on the wrist through nanotechnology. It looked like an iron-gray wristband and was not conspicuous. Wearing a khaki sand-proof robe with a hood on the back, dust-proof glasses and filters, Zhao Tian began to ask the team members about their preparations through the communicator at his ear.
"Alright, boss!"
"Ready!"
"We're ready to go... Wait, let me find where I put my gun!"
"Oh, I'll go find my goddess too. Let's give her a goodbye kiss before we leave!"
"Xiaojiu, wake up quickly, where did you get your girlfriend?"
"Is it not okay for me to be a fan? My girlfriend is the famous Queen of Tianta City: Her Royal Highness Rooster... Well, I found her!"
Various voices, both male and female, came through the communicator. The relaxed atmosphere was enough to prove that everyone in the exploration team was full of confidence. Zhao Tian not only did not organize them, but also smiled slightly and listened for a long time before gradually speaking seriously:
"Alright, enough joking. Check your gear. Take a look at your protective suits, medicine, healing scrolls, and teleportation scrolls. Make sure you have enough ammunition. Also, check the remaining energy in your light energy gun..."
Every scavenging trip is an adventure and a race against death. In the ruins full of dangers, one may end up in an irretrievable situation if one is not careful. In this regard, Zhao Tian obviously has very good experience and awareness. Immediately after he gave one order after another, the members of the team, although they said light-hearted words, did not refute and began to prepare their own supplies one by one.
There are four essential things a scavenger needs when going out: combat armor for protection, firearms for combat, medicine spray and healing scrolls for injuries, and short-distance teleportation scrolls for escape.
As a high-level scavenger team, Zhao Tian's team was undoubtedly prepared for all of this. Therefore, it didn't take long for everyone to gather in a dilapidated house called Fog City Town, which was similar to the entrance of Fog City, where Zhao Tian was at the moment.
"Boss, we're here!"
"Everything is ready, boss. We can go at any time!"
"Speaking of which, Boss, where are we going this time? Last time we went north, we encountered a huge gold-eating beast. Should we try to kill it this time?"
"Boss, I want to go to the South. I think I saw a jewelry store there last time. It seems like I could make a lot of money there!"
"Boss, boss..."
Amidst all the cheerful voices, although they all seemed unorganized, undisciplined and full of laziness, the aura occasionally emitted by this small team of about ten people was enough to prove that they were not ordinary people.
"Okay, quiet down..."
Zhao Tian's words instantly quieted the noisy atmosphere. At the same time, Zhao Tian pulled up his mask, revealing his weathered face, and said to everyone in a serious tone:
"Today we're heading to the Central District, and from there we'll begin exploring the unknown areas... This mission is key to our advancement to S-rank scavengers, and it's also an uncharted adventure. As usual... those who want to opt out can choose to stay home, and those who don't can follow me!"
There were no unnecessary words. After the simple and easy-to-understand words, the dozen or so people looked at each other, but no one spoke. This went on for about a minute...
"Very good, now I will assign some personnel..."
Zhao Tian nodded in satisfaction and pointed at one of the heavy-armored men and said:
"Da Zhuang, as always, you'll be responsible for clearing the way. Charge up your 'Giant Elephant Armor' with magic power, or it won't fail me at the critical moment!"
This sentence immediately caused some laughter to echo around, and the strong man called Dazhuang scratched his head with a silly smile and nodded:
"I understand, boss. Don't worry!"
"Well, Xiao Zhao, you're in charge of the investigation. The Sky Eagle should be fine, right?"
"Don't worry, boss, it's fine!"
The thin man with a metal backpack on his back patted the backpack on his back and answered with a confident tone.
"Muzi, over here..."
One command after another was issued. As a team, the areas planned for each person were naturally different. After all of this was distributed very skillfully, and finally, when everyone had arranged the mission objectives, Zhao Tian seemed to pause and then looked towards the corner. He saw a girl in a khaki protective suit sitting quietly on a stone that seemed out of tune with the surroundings, as if she did not belong to this team.
112. Repaying a Favor
(A small side quest, don't take it too seriously~)
Xia Yu is also a member of Zhao Tian's team, but she is the most mysterious person in the team... No one knows where she came from, and no one knows who she is. The only thing they know is that she joined the team very early... So early that she had been following Zhao Tian when he was the only one in this scavenger team.
However, such an identity is not something that Xia Yu should show off or feel superior to. On the contrary, because he joined the team early and because of his personality, Xia Yu feels out of tune with the team.
Just like now, when everyone has been assigned their respective tasks and looks ready to go, she is the only one who has been sitting quietly on the big rock from beginning to end. Her slender figure cannot be concealed even in the khaki protective suit. Her long silver-white hair is casually tied behind her head. On her smooth face, a pair of light blue eyes as bright as the starry sky are staring straight at the sky full of white clouds above her head. No one knows what she is thinking.
"Xia Yu..."
Zhao Tian's voice came from a distance. It was not known whether it was an illusion, but with his shout, everyone in the team seemed to fall into a brief silence at this moment. Then, everyone looked at the girl who was sitting there quietly. At the same time, as if reacting to Zhao Tian's voice, the girl stood up slightly and turned her head. Her eyes seemed to be without any spirit and she looked at Zhao Tian quietly, like a robot waiting for orders.
"..."
Seeing this, Zhao Tian sighed inwardly countless times. It had been like this since they first met. It was as if there was no emotion in the girl in front of him. Although she was not cold or distant in the team on weekdays, the feeling that she was like a robot on standby when nothing was done undoubtedly brought her closer to everyone.
Of course, Zhao Tian was obviously used to Xia Yu's situation, so he spoke without hesitation:
"It's the same as before. You'll be in charge of 'support'. Should the props be ready?"
When asked this, Xia Yu looked down silently, then raised his head and nodded slightly. He did not answer but walked silently to the back of the team.
Everyone had already gotten used to this, so when Zhao Tian gave the command to "set off", everyone immediately walked out of the room one after another and headed towards the hovercraft outside the door.
"Xiaoyu..."
After everyone left, Zhao Tian was the only one who didn't leave. Looking at Xia Yu who was preparing to leave with everyone with a calm expression, Zhao Tian suddenly called her.
"..."
Without hesitation, she stopped and turned around, but she didn't express anything and just stood there quietly. She looked like an emotionless doll, not changed at all from when they first met... Yes, exactly the same as when he rescued her from the human traffickers.
With a quiet expression, a silent temperament, and a lifeless posture, Zhao Tian seemed to open his mouth but didn't know what to say for a moment. Finally, after thinking for a while, he could only ask:
"How much is left?"
It was a sudden and somewhat confusing question, but Xia Yu seemed to think about it for a moment before he stretched out his palms and made a gesture of three and two with both hands: thirty-two!
When she said this, Zhao Tian nodded slightly as if he understood and asked again:
"So...any clues?"
It was another baffling question, but this time Xia Yu frowned slightly, then opened his mouth and a voice emanated from his mouth. It was pleasant and ethereal, but it seemed to lack some life as it entered Zhao Tian's ears:
"Tianyu City..."
She said this, but Zhao Tian was slightly stunned:
"Tianyu City? It's the one that was recently established... When did you go there?"
Xia Yu has been trying to find out something, Zhao Tian is well aware of this and has not helped him to find out in the past few years. Although Xia Yu looks like this, he still remembers very clearly Zhao Tian's life-saving grace and care for him over the years. That is why he has always stayed in the team and obeyed Zhao Tian's orders.
Of course, Zhao Tian had actually suggested before that the other party didn't need to repay the favor at all, and should just do his own thing with peace of mind. However, because Xia Yu was still weak at that time, Zhao Tian was worried about the other party's safety, so he stopped the other party and said: Since you want to repay the favor, then just become a scavenger with me. This will happen to allow you to find out the information you want while also honing your strength. When you feel like leaving, I won't stop you!
Xia Yu seemed to think about it and agreed, and made a so-called agreement of one hundred tasks with Zhao Tian, which meant that she would help Zhao Tian complete one hundred tasks before going back to do what she wanted to do.
Zhao Tian didn't take it seriously at first and agreed to it casually. However, it was not long after that that she was shocked to find out how much of an advantage she had gained by nodding at that time.
She was clearly just an ordinary little girl who was accidentally rescued from several magicians who were being chased by strange beasts while wandering through the ruins. However, she was actually a person with special abilities. After joining Zhao Tian's team, she quickly showed her special abilities and soon surpassed Zhao Tian in strength.
Such a change undoubtedly made Zhao Tian happy for Xia Yu. After that, he suggested more than once that Xia Yu concentrate on doing his own things and not pay too much attention to the topics on his side. However, every time Xia Yu would answer him with the tasks of "one hundred pieces". Zhao Tian was helpless about the other party's stubbornness.
Of course, this doesn't mean that Zhao Tian wants to drive Xia Yu away or feels that he can't accommodate the other party here. In fact, the presence of a mutant in a scavenger team is almost equivalent to doubling the strength of the entire team. Especially since Xia Yu is so obedient, if the other party is really under Zhao Tian's command, Zhao Tian would wake up laughing in his dreams.
However, after spending several years together, Zhao Tian had already regarded this taciturn girl as his own daughter and naturally could not use her like this. At the same time, Zhao Tian could see that her talent was obviously far more than that. Staying in their scavenger team... was such a waste of talent!
