Collapse, Kaslana's Way of Survival

Kainuo took the lead.

In the underground experimental factory, Jackal stared at the screen on the wall that was gradually enveloped by black mist and then suddenly blurred, and took a long breath.

"I say, you really don't plan on leaving?" On another monitor nearby, Raven crossed his legs and offered advice. "Honestly, I don't see any hope of you winning. Let me make this clear: if you're captured by Destiny, we won't rescue you. Breaking into Destiny headquarters is tantamount to seeking death."

"That's not necessary." The Jackal waved his hand as he sat down on a chair. "Not to mention this battle, they've set so many traps for them. The chances of me losing are slim."

"And it's only because you ran away. Otherwise, with the help of the Third Divine Key, there's almost no chance of us losing."

"Come on, you're still lying to yourself?" Raven rolled his eyes. "What scared you so much?"

Although the expression on her face could not be seen due to the wolf-head mask, the raven could tell from her trembling right leg that she was absolutely terrified.

"...What good can I do if I'm afraid?!" As if provoked by Raven's words, the Jackal slammed the table and raised his voice. "They're both already blocking my way. Where can I run?"

"Hey, hey, you're still mad at me?" Raven's eyes widened in disbelief. "It was me who asked you to hide and transfer the information about Shencheng Pharmaceuticals. It was also me who persuaded you to leave. But what about you? Which one did you listen to?"

"Now, look what's going on. They've directly exposed all of Shencheng Pharmaceutical's secrets. Not only do they know most of World Serpent's information, but their rescue plan for the person who fell into the Quantum Ocean will surely be thwarted. If it weren't for this, Gray Snake, as World Serpent's most important researcher, wouldn't be so unwilling to help you."

"Oh, who needs its help?!" the jackal gnashed his teeth and said, "I have all the means at my disposal. It's not like I can't possibly fight back."

"Putting aside the fact that if you really killed them both, you'd probably face endless retribution from Fate. Where on earth do you get the confidence you can kill them?" Raven sighed. "Do you really want to rely solely on that Houkai-energy-neutralizing potion?"

"With all due respect, the Herrster's power alone would render your potion completely ineffective."

"Heh." The Jackal sneered and touched a long box on the table beside him.

"Just keep the live stream going. I'll show you the secret weapon I've prepared... a secret weapon specifically designed to deal with Herrschers."

Chapter 141 Trapped beast?

"Ah, no... Is the World Serpent sick?" Keno walked down the stairs in the passage connecting the surface and the World Serpent's underground laboratory, with his arms folded across his chest, gritting his teeth and looking unhappy.

"The underground laboratory is built so deep, don't they feel tired when going in and out?"

"Building it deeper is necessary for confidentiality and security reasons. And they can take the elevator, right? If there is an elevator, no one would normally choose to take the stairs."

Bianca stretched her arms, which had become stiff from holding the Black Abyss White Flower in the same position for so long, and shrugged helplessly. "Of course, taking the stairs is a safe bet to avoid a possible ambush from the World Serpent."

"So I'm quite curious as to why they built this additional staircase. Judging by the thickness of the dust on the ground, I guess they never used it."

Kaino sighed, then turned his head and glanced at Bianca's black abyss and white flower and arm. After thinking for a moment, he stretched out his right hand: "Do you need me to help you hold it for a while? I'm quite strong."

"Hmm? Ah, no thanks." Bianca followed Keno's gaze and retracted her arms, shaking her head in defiance. "I'm quite strong, and I have to stay alert at all times to deal with crises that may crop up at any moment."

After a pause, Bianca's mouth curled up slightly.

"But thank you for now."

"Ha, this is... Hey, we're here?" Kainuo paused and looked at

The path down was blocked, and the entrance to the Heavenly Stairway was nearby. So, without a doubt, behind this massive alloy door was their destination.

After exchanging a glance with Bianca, Kainuo took out Xuanyuan and directly cut out a rectangular opening on the door for easy entry and exit.

Pushing open the cut-out portion of the door, Keno and Bianca collapsed in.

Although it is true that this is very violent, there is no need to talk about morality when dealing with the World Snake.

Moreover, the actions of the two in Shencheng Pharmaceutical have attracted the attention of the other party, so there is no need to worry about the movement and carry out any covert actions at this time.

And the facts are just as they thought.

"Tsk, these two little mice of destiny, are they so impatient to come and die?"

A slightly sarcastic and mocking voice rang out around Keno and Bianca, instantly putting the two already vigilant people on alert.

"Jackal?" After a brief silence, Kayno glanced around for the source of the sound and raised an eyebrow. "You're really brave. I thought you'd just run away."

"Don't confuse me with a coward!" The jackal's voice sounded again, but this time it carried a hint of resentment.

There doesn't seem to be any cracks on the surface of the wall. Where does the sound come from?

Frowning, Kainuo continued, "Why, are you anxious?"

"...Oh, never mind. You guys should just show off your verbal skills now. After all, you won't have such an opportunity again in the future."

It seemed that he felt much more relaxed after venting his anger. The Jackal did not get as angry as Kayno had expected. Instead, he quickly issued an order: "Venomous Spider Mechs, attack them at the laboratory entrance!"

Kaino raised his eyebrows, looking surprised.

Putting aside the question of whether mechas are useful to them...are the World Serpent's mechas voice-activated? Do they need a full-area broadcast to command an attack?

"Don't let your guard down. The broadcast might be some kind of fraud," Bianca warned. "An organization that's been able to hide in the shadows of the world for years without being discovered by Destiny, who knows what might be going on, uh..."

Accompanied by the creaking sounds of twisting mechanical legs, a dozen poisonous spider mechas rushed out from the depths of the laboratory, causing Bianca's words to get stuck in her throat.

Not paying attention to those small robots less than half a meter long, Kaino blinked and looked at Bianca beside him with a little curiosity.

"Well, maybe I did overestimate them." After a long silence, Bianca took a deep breath and her eyes became sharp.

She took a sudden step forward, sweeping out a circle with the lance in her hand.

Without relying on any special abilities of the Black Abyss White Flower, Bianca destroyed several mechas in an instant by swinging and smashing them, relying solely on her own brute force and a little bit of Honkai energy.

Ignoring the scattered robot parts, Bianca raised her head, her cold gaze wandering across the ceiling before finally settling on a random spot.

"If this is the only way to get involved with Qi Lingsi, then it would be better for you World Snakes to just surrender."

"Heh, are Tianming just a bunch of reckless warriors who only know how to fight with their muscles? What's there to be proud of just taking out a few low-level mechas?" The Jackal sneered, "These are just appetizers... No, these are not even appetizers."

"As a trapped beast, please wait and see what I will do next."

"Very good. Now, please witness the World Serpent's special preparations for enemies of the Herrscher and Yingjie's level. Speaking of which, it's thanks to the contributions of the two of you that we were able to achieve this almost perfect arrangement!"

As the Jackal finished speaking, two thick isolation walls suddenly fell down, blocking the entrance and also cutting off the way for the two men to continue deeper into the laboratory.

At the same time, the scattered fragments of the Venomous Spider mecha suddenly twitched. A hidden mechanism within the mecha fragments activated, sending a crimson mist gushing out. Almost instantly, it filled half of the isolation chamber within the fragments branch and spread to the other half.

"Bianca, come here!"

Pulling Bianca behind him, Keno cautiously urged the breeze to try to blow away the blood mist and cut a path in the isolation wall.

But the next moment, he was stunned where he was.

"I'll do it." Bianca's voice was cold.

The black abyss white flower was struck on the ground, and the black mist symbolizing death and decay once again filled the air. However, this time, the black mist did not have the same significant effect as before.

The moment Liu Yue/Yi touched the spreading blood mist, the black mist disappeared without a trace like spring snow illuminated by the scorching sun.

"What's going on?" Bianca frowned, stunned. She could only stare blankly at the blood mist that enveloped them and completely spread throughout the room. "The destruction ability of the death mist I activated was neutralized by the blood mist?!"

"Me too." Kayno said silently.

He also tried to analyze the mist, but when the power touched the other party, the Honkai energy was instantly neutralized and the power became ineffective.

Not only that, he didn't know whether Bianca felt it or not, but when he was wrapped in the blood mist, the Honkai energy in his body was also disintegrating at a not-so-slow speed. If it weren't for his stigma directly connected to the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, he would probably be in terrible pain at this time.

And this is not the most troublesome thing.

Feeling the tingling sensation coming from his lower body and the increasingly hot temperature around him, Kainuo couldn't help but be amazed.

Chapter 142 A ray of hope

The sound of metal clashing was heard, and Kainuo frowned as he looked at the isolation wall that was only left with a shallow gully after being slashed by the Xuanyuan Sword.

The barrier wall and the walls on either side of the jackal's newly lowered barrier were made of unknown material, but their hardness was comparable to that of soul steel. Without the aid of Honkai energy, it would take an incalculable amount of time to forcibly carve a path through with just the weapons in hand.

What they lack now is time.

The temperature within the isolation chamber continued to rise, reaching 50 to 60 degrees Celsius in just a short while. The intensity of the current flowing through the walls also gradually increased. A Valkyrie of ordinary physique would have been unable to withstand this. The two of them were able to continue digging through the wall under these conditions thanks to Kaslana's exceptional physique.

However, Kaslana also has limits.

Looking at Bianca, who was sweating profusely, frowning, and still persisting in poking the wall with the Black Abyss White Flower, Keno couldn't help but click his tongue.

He himself was fine. Although the power could not leave the body and its effect inside the body was very weak, with the support of the endless Honkai energy connected to the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, he could completely rely on the power of life to continue to consume it.

But Bianca...

Turning his head slightly, he glanced at the blue-silver gauntlet that flashed by on his right hand, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the trump card that he had used to help Xier once when her whole body's Honkai energy was completely broken and she couldn't use it at all could still be used.

"Tsk, no way, is that all?" Seeing the two's situation getting worse, the jackal's mocking voice sounded again, "Gray Snake praised you two to such heights, and now this is all you can do. I don't even need to use my remaining tricks."

Ignoring the jackal, Kayno turned to the side and said, "Honestly, Bianca, do you have any backup plan now?"

Bianca paused in her poaching and immediately shook her head: "Honestly, no."

She stood up the Black Abyss White Flower to support her increasingly tired body, then turned around and looked at Kainuo.

"I just checked, and the signal from our communication device has also been blocked. This will certainly alert Tianming, but I'm afraid we won't be able to hold out until then."

Kaino nodded thoughtfully. "So now all we can do is try to dig it out before we get killed?"

"Yes."

Bianca nodded, as if she had rested enough. She took a deep breath and turned back to work.

However, before she could knock a few times, she paused again.

"Kaino," Bianca said, her voice slightly low and expectant, her head half lowered. "I originally wanted to confirm it on my own after I got out, but I may not have that chance anymore. I want to ask, you..."

Before she could finish her words, Bianca rolled her eyes with a dull sound, and her body leaned forward halfway before being caught by Keno behind her.

"I don't know what you want to confirm, but since you want it, then do as you wish. You can confirm it yourself when you return." Kainuo glanced at the red mark on the back of the man's neck and twitched his lips. "Also, I hope you won't hit me when you wake up."

Turning Bianca over, Keno hesitated for a moment, then gave up the hug and squatted down to carry her on his back.

After all, she is already a grown-up girl, and overly ambiguous actions will have a bad influence.

"Hmph! You actually attacked your own sister. So, have you given up and are you planning to surrender?" The sarcastic voice sounded again, and then turned cold. "But I dare not accept it. Using your bodies for experiments may be a huge temptation, but I will not let my guard down when I am about to kill you."

"After all, if you hadn't foolishly jumped into the trap I set, I wouldn't have any means to restrain you two. I must be completely sure of your death. Only then will I feel at ease."

"That's true." Kainuo nodded slightly, sighing inwardly. "Perhaps I've been living comfortably in Saint Freya for too long, or perhaps I'm too proud of my own strength. When I explored the enemy's homeland, I rushed in without any preparation. My vigilance has indeed dropped significantly."

Compared to when I was hanging out in the priest's world and would hide behind Li Suchang in advance no matter who I met on the road, my first reaction when I saw the diffuse blood mist was not to blast the retreat route or simply use the power of the Second Ruler to escape. It was really too careless.

We must learn from this lesson in the future.

Taking a deep breath, Kainuo stared at the isolation wall in front of him and slowly raised his right hand.

Driven by the star energy in his body, three Xuanyuan swords outlined by brilliant golden light appeared out of thin air and hovered beside Kainuo, shining extremely brightly in the light red blood mist.

The next moment, Kainuo swung his right hand violently.

The three lightsabers suddenly moved, shooting out at a speed invisible to the naked eye. They easily penetrated the wall the two men had been hacking at for a while before suddenly exploding.

Like a marshmallow that was licked, the once indestructible wall melted away in an instant.

"What? No—"

This time, Kainuo didn't continue to talk to the jackal, not even giving him a chance to react. Taking advantage of the moment when the blood mist expanded and the Houkai energy could be reactivated, the Herrscher of the Void decisively summoned his power. An imaginary gate connected to the ground tore through space and appeared before Kainuo.

"Goodbye, and good luck."

Crossing the space gate, Keno returned to the ground.

He didn't forget that the Jackal just said there was a back-up plan - although he didn't know what this back-up plan was, Keno, who had just been tricked, decided to be on the safe side.

But this matter will not end like this.

After taking a slight breath of relief, Keno raised his right arm and put his fingers together.

Then swung it down quickly.

……

After sending Kainuo and Bianca to the outskirts, Si Qi Ersanling...?? Jiu?? Si Yueyi*ji had just returned to the outskirts of Tianqiong City. He had just stopped the car to light a cigarette to refresh himself, but unexpectedly, as he had just lit it, he felt a slight shake.

Did an earthquake occur in Ersi (Eighth) Division?!

The driver's eyes widened, and he was about to call home to alert his family to the situation, but his eyes were suddenly attracted by the flashing golden light on the rearview mirror.

As if realizing something, he quickly opened the car door and stepped onto the ground, opening his mouth slightly and looking in disbelief towards the suburbs behind the car.

He had never seen anything like it.

The sky was golden, the earth was golden, and everything around was shrouded in a warm and holy golden glow at that moment.

However, the most eye-catching thing was not the holy golden light that filled the entire sky, but the object that emitted this light, standing between the sky and the earth -

A golden beam of light pierced through the dark clouds and pointed straight down to the earth.

Dazzling and dazzling.
