At Camp Two, before the Eldritch Gate.
Biu~!
Shi Yunxi was flung out of the gate once more. As she landed, she shifted her arms and swayed her body, maintaining her balance and avoiding the embarrassment of falling on her rear.
She had gone out, and she had returned.
The entire process had taken a mere ten-odd minutes.
She had already handed over the materials to the transport personnel and returned to Camp Two.
Two tasks were currently active in her mind.
One was the "Friendly Exchange" task, shared with Pei Li and the others, and the other was the "Counterattack" task.
"There are minions of the Evil God near this camp. We must drive out and kill these minions, otherwise, no one will dare to leave from here in the future."
When the captain returned, Pei Li and Cen Jing also heard a 'ding-dong' in their minds, and a new task appeared.
Anna didn't hear the 'ding-dong', but there was a signal in the camp, and her student's phone vibrated slightly.
At this moment, hearing Shi Yunxi's words, Medusa also remembered that the crisis was still ongoing!
She had been amazed by the potential of the Blue Star world but had overlooked that outside, in the surrounding area, there were minions of the Crimson Moon, and one of them was a non-human entity!
If these minions targeted the Blue Star secret realm, wouldn't that be game over?!
"Wait, you still want to go out and deal with these Evil God minions?"
How could they dare!
Medusa's eyes widened.
Shi Yunxi smiled slightly, "Of course not with just us. Reinforcements are already on their way. We just need to wait a while. Miss Medusa, would you like to come along?"
Medusa pondered.
The Blue Star forces, logically speaking, were not fools. They couldn't possibly be fools. Since they dared to deal with those Evil God minions, they must have some confidence.
Was it the mentor Shi Yunxi mentioned?
Could it be that the mentor was a non-human? No, it was more likely that they possessed a powerful Eldritch artifact and had combat power at the non-human level.
But this was too bold.
She couldn't help but say, "Among those Evil God minions, the one wearing the dark red armor is a Fourth Awakening non-human! There's a huge gap between a non-human and a Triple Awakener! It's not something that can be compensated for with just a few Eldritch artifacts."
Shi Yunxi naturally understood what Medusa was saying; it was the truth.
She had already witnessed the power of Fourth Awakening from some of the core leaders of the organization, but what could she say? She couldn't, she could only smile and say nothing.
This, however, reassured Medusa.
At this time, she could not 'descend' into Blue Star and could not go anywhere. She could only wait quietly in the camp for the reinforcements from the Blue Star forces to arrive.
Suddenly, a piercing alarm blared, echoing through the camp.
Shi Yunxi's expression turned serious, "It's a Level One alert! A powerful enemy is attacking!"
She had already been on high alert.
The entire camp was also on alert. The outgoing teams had returned, and the patrols and defenses had already been strengthened by one level. This was because the place where they had used the teleportation stones was only three to four kilometers away from the camp.
Outside the camp, beyond the dense wall of fog, shadowy figures flickered indistinctly.
Riding two-star eldritch skeleton warhorses, robed cultists charged in from outside the thick fog. The sunlight that cascaded from high above seemed to cause them a faint discomfort, but it was only for a moment. The cultists scanned their surroundings, their gazes falling on the distant watchtower.
But faster than him were the ready Spark Warriors.
Scorching fireballs rolled in from afar.
The robed cultist leaped into the air, and the billowing flames behind him engulfed his horse. He didn't seem to care. In mid-air, he slightly opened his fingers, and sharp fingernails shot out like bullets.
Whoosh, whoosh, they whistled.
At this speed, even an ordinary Triple Awakener, caught off guard, would be hit and killed, let alone the mostly Double-level Awakeners on the watchtower.
But knowledge is power!
The Spark Warriors had studied the combat methods of the Blood Moon cultists. As soon as they fired the fireball, they immediately dodged, hiding behind sturdy walls. The sharp fingernail projectiles whizzed past their foreheads.
At the same time, a Spark Warrior, crouching in another position, raised his gun, aimed, and fired.
Bang—!
A long bullet shot out. This shot did not aim for the head but for the more easily hit torso.
It hit!
The bullet pierced through, and the immense kinetic energy sent the cultist's body reeling, making him stagger. Countless flesh buds emerged from the pierced chest, healing rapidly, but the next moment, a rune arrow shot over, and scorching flames erupted on the cultist.
Boom!!
A triple-level cultist was immediately killed through the skilled cooperation of the Spark Warriors.
The other robed cultists could not break through the barrage of fire.
Medusa, holding her long sword, was preparing to attack but found no opportunity. The situation was completely different from before.
At that time, even if the non-human in dark red armor hadn't appeared, their chances of breaking through would have been very slim.
However, at this moment, seven or eight robed cultists were completely suppressed, and one had already been killed.
Her eyes widened, her small mouth slightly agape.
But her face remained solemn. Medusa knew very well that the greatest danger had not yet arrived.
Suddenly,
Boom!!
A broadsword descended from the sky, and the blood-red sword energy it unleashed tore through buildings.
A figure clad in dark red armor emerged from the fog, drew his broadsword, and walked forward step by step. He allowed the bullets to rain down, creating sparks as they struck his armor. With a casual swing of his broadsword, the whistling flames and frost were instantly severed.
Even Shi Yunxi's water blade was destroyed with overwhelming force before this broadsword.
Seeing this scene, cold sweat instantly streamed down Medusa's forehead, flowing from her temples to her jawline, and droplets of sweat dripped down.
She still dared not move, her gaze fixed on the dark red armored person not far away, feeling immense pressure.
Medusa could not find an opportunity to attack; if she attacked, she would die, but if she didn't attack... she would also die!
The tide of battle turned in an instant.
The robed cultists roared and charged forward, while the non-human in dark red armor, walking step by step, seemed poised to shatter the psychological defense of the human defenders.
Reflecting the flickering shadows in her eyes, Medusa gritted her teeth and signaled Shi Yunxi and the others with her eyes that it was time to fight. If they didn't fight now, they would lose any chance. However, Shi Yunxi and the others seemed not to have seen her gaze, which made Medusa anxious to the point of anger.
Suddenly,
The ground trembled violently. Medusa was startled but noticed that Shi Yunxi and the others didn't seem panicked. The dark red armored person, who had been walking slowly, also stopped and looked up slightly.
Medusa tilted her head and looked back.
Her mouth involuntarily gaped open.
"That... that is...?"
"This is our camp's guardian, Lord Qingliu."
An ancient tree dozens of meters tall came to life at this moment. Green willow leaves and vines danced, as if the entire world were enraged.
Vine-willows struck like lightning, entangling and strangling with immense power.
In an instant, it engaged the dark red armored person.
Although the broadsword could sever the vines, the growth and spread of the willow vines were faster. They danced, covering both the sky and the ground, and for a time, the non-human minion of the Evil God fell into a disadvantage.
This...
Medusa's eyes widened.
She glanced at the vines and willows that flew over her head, then looked at Shi Yunxi and the others beside her. She swallowed.
"Non... you have a non-human expert?!"
"Yes, otherwise our entire camp would have evacuated long ago. Why would we still be here?"
This seemed to make sense. Medusa felt she had no grounds to refute.
No, that's not the point at all!
A non-human expert! Why were they all so calm? Didn't they know the value of the non-human realm, damn it!
Thinking that the Blue Star world was just a novice world, perhaps they truly didn't understand, she wanted to cry.
But under their ignorance, they could still produce a non-human, even if it was luck, it was still the luck of destiny!
If she remembered correctly, the leader of the Blue Star forces was that mentor.
Thinking of this, Medusa couldn't help but swallow again. What kind of divine novice world was this! Such a force, as long as it wasn't destroyed, would definitely become a large oasis-level, and with decades of future development, it might even have a chance to advance to a super oasis-level force!
She felt that the bait she had prepared now was not enough.
She had to contact the academy and increase the stakes!
While Medusa's thoughts raced, her body didn't stop. She was retreating with Shi Yunxi and the others to avoid being affected by the non-human level combat.
Distant flying sand and rocks, constant rumbling.
Red lights flashed intermittently under the green willow vines, and terrifying shockwaves spread outwards, blowing across the faces of Medusa and the others, lifting their sweat-soaked hair.
"It's suppressed!"
"This Qingliu non-human is so strong!"
"It looks like the situation is stable now."
Just as Medusa's thoughts emerged, a thunderous "boom" echoed in her ears. Vines snapped, and another minion, a non-human, appeared.
The newcomer was also armored, with a darker, blackish hue. In his hand, he held a black greatsword, which unleashed a black torrent amidst the deafening roar, like a black flood of countless soldiers charging.
The torrent broke through the willow vines.
The dark red armored person lunged forward.
This... this is two non-humans!
Medusa was dumbfounded again. What a jinx she was!
"What should we do now?"
She looked at Shi Yunxi.
Shi Yunxi was also helpless, water currents swirling around her, but she couldn't find an opportunity to unleash them.
Seeing the willow vines growing sparser, beads of sweat began to trickle down her cheeks.
The willow vines gradually retreated.
The residual tremors of the thunderous battle began to push towards the central area of the camp.
From beneath the mask of the dark red armored person, a sinister laugh of "Jie jie jie jie jie" emerged. He abandoned the now sparse willow vines that could no longer form a net and strode towards the core of the ancient tree dozens of meters high.
Shi Yunxi's eyes were fixed.
Pei Li's hands turned into diamond.
Medusa's palms were sweating.
The broadsword sliced through frost and water, and the dark red armored person leaped into the air, his blade radiating a bloody radiance.
The next moment,
A figure descended like a meteor, crashing heavily onto the dark red armored person.
With a roar, it fell, embedding the dark red figure deep into the ground, spiderweb-like cracks spreading across the earth.
Earth and stones exploded, and dust billowed. In a deep pit, a size 48 shoe stomped on the cracked dark red mask.
The burly man twisted his fist, grinned, and said, "Uncle Xing is here!"
