Standing before her, Wu sheathed his blade. Reversing his grip, he gently supported Su Xiaoxiao with the black hilt. Su Xiaoxiao leaned on the hilt before slowly sliding to the ground.

Su An rushed over and cradled the completely unconscious Su Xiaoxiao in his arms. A relatively normal Crimson Level One Hazardous Entity scratched his head, then pulled a crumpled handkerchief from his pocket. Taking the handkerchief, Su An carefully wiped the blood from Su Xiaoxiao's face.

Jiang Cheng wanted to approach to check on Su Xiaoxiao's injuries, but the nearby Crimsons became restless, displaying obvious defensiveness, more like an instinct.

But this instinct changed as Wu coldly thrust the blade into the ground. The Crimsons retreated in unison, and the scene became unusually quiet.

Jiang Cheng walked to Su An's side and slowly crouched down. Su Xiaoxiao's veil had fallen off, revealing the right side of her face, covered in dense, dark green scales. The scales grew downwards until they disappeared into her collar.

Reaching out, Jiang Cheng wanted to feel Su Xiaoxiao's breath, but Su An suddenly looked up, his eyes bloodshot. Jiang Cheng could sense that Su An's mental state was also extremely unstable. Fatty, seeing this, immediately stepped forward to soothe him, "Don't worry, we mean no harm. Your sister is our friend too."

Fatty's soothing was immediately effective. The wariness in Su An's eyes gradually receded, and Jiang Cheng was able to touch Su Xiaoxiao. After examining her, he found that other than the wounds left by Wu, she had no other injuries. Her body was covered with a large area of scales, which acted like a layer of armor, protecting her well.

To be able to fight Wu evenly for a short time showed Su Xiaoxiao's strength. However, judging from her body, she had been severely corrupted. Her strength was entirely dependent on the infinite demands she made on the Door within her. To save her brother Su An, this stubborn woman had paid an unimaginable price.

Recalling the scenes that appeared in the illusion, the isolated island, the sea, the forest... the white altar stained with blood, and the resurrected monster, all evoked Jiang Cheng's distant memories. That was the third mission world he had experienced. Later, based on various clues, he suspected that the huge island was part of the monster.

And as a result, Su An and Su Xiaoxiao both survived, and Su Xiaoxiao, who was left alone near the altar, received the inheritance of that Door.

In terms of intensity, this was undoubtedly a Door of Calamity (guiyi zhi men), and a rather powerful one at that. Even Wu found what was behind the Door troublesome.

And those remnants of the Night Watchers who died at Su Xiaoxiao's hands had probably been devoured and become nourishment for the Door of Calamity.

As Su Xiaoxiao fell, the sky outside gradually brightened, but the way it brightened puzzled Fatty. First, the entire sky cracked open, and then the crack gradually widened, extending to both sides. The crack was not neat, but rather like irregular saw teeth. At the same time, a strong sea breeze blew in, salty and carrying a strong fishy odor.

After a few seconds, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but gasp. He understood. The crack in the sky was the giant monster's mouth. They were currently inside the monster's belly!

Jiang Cheng immediately looked at Wu, who nodded, confirming Jiang Cheng's guess.

Judging from its size, the island before was just the tip of the iceberg of the giant monster. No wonder, no wonder those Night Watchers disappeared inexplicably. The truth was like this!

In the previous battle, Wu had noticed something was wrong. The opponent's aura came from all directions, every corner, even... from underfoot!

To verify his guess, Wu thrust his blade into the ground, the sharp blade cutting through the earth, reaching dozens of meters deep.

Sure enough, this angered the opponent, and pained the opponent even more. The feeling from the blade, which was connected to his heart, also confirmed his guess.

They were actually inside that guy's body...

As the giant monster slowly spat them out, the sunlight poured in through the crack. Everything in this world was undergoing strange changes. Where the sunlight shone, collapsed buildings were restored, uprooted trees reappeared in their original places, the overturned jeep was parked safely on the side of the road, and long-isolated sounds came from not far away. He could even hear people shouting faintly.

As the shadows completely dissipated, the outside world returned to normal. For a moment, Jiang Cheng couldn't tell whether this was illusion or reality.

Through the glass door, he saw figures moving outside the front door of the orphanage, accompanied by intense physical conflict.

"It's Yao Shunyu!" Fatty exclaimed in surprise.

At the same time, Yao Shunyu, who was being pulled by several men outside, also saw them behind the glass door. He instantly cried out in surprise, then broke free and ran towards them.

The people outside, seeing this sudden scene, didn't dare to chase in. They could only peek from behind the cars they used as cover.

Yao Shunyu rushed in, pushing open the glass door, and looked at Jiang Cheng and the others excitedly, "You... you finally appeared. I thought..."

Seeing the Crimson members behind Jiang Cheng and Fatty, a look of fear flashed across Yao Shunyu's face. After all, the appearance of this group was too exaggerated.

Wu disappeared the moment the outside world was completely restored, which was also the reason Jiang Cheng was sure it was completely safe.

The outside world was real, and Yao Shunyu who rushed in was also real. Through communication with Yao Shunyu, Jiang Cheng increasingly understood the terror of the thing inside Su Xiaoxiao.

According to Yao Shunyu, they had just appeared. After hearing that they were trapped in darkness, Yao Shunyu and Li Bai knew that they must have been attacked by a top Disciple (mentu) and trapped in the opponent's domain.

After waiting for a while, the two couldn't wait any longer, so they quickly divided the work. Li Bai stayed behind to communicate with the local commander, asking him to call for reinforcements, reinforcements that had to be strong enough. Yao Shunyu, on the other hand, wanted to come in and try his luck, to see if he could find the entrance to the domain.

Unfortunately, his actions were not allowed by the person in charge, who sent people to stop him, which was the scene Jiang Cheng and Fatty had witnessed at the beginning. Yao Shunyu was so anxious that he almost used the power of the Door.

Jiang Cheng frowned, "The reinforcements Li Bai called are Lin Wan'er?"

Yao Shunyu nodded with a wry smile, "Apart from that lady, we really don't know who else to turn to. She's really concerned about you, Jiang-ge and Fu-ge. After hearing the news, she immediately agreed and replied that the reinforcements were on their way here."

"Who are the reinforcements?" Jiang Cheng suddenly had a bad feeling.

"She said it's Number 6, Crimson Number 6," Yao Shunyu confirmed.

"Quick, quick, call him and tell him not to come!"
