Chapter 36, Forced Escape, Discovery and the Beginning of War

Relics, unknown spaces in the darkness.

"Barto, what do you think?" The werewolf high priest looked at the handsome elf.

"Not so good. Compared to my elves, they are far inferior. The elves have never set their sights on them." Barto chuckled softly, his voice gentle yet condescending.

"Darkness, what about you?" The high priest looked at the humanoid black figure again.

"It has nothing to do with me. In any case, you must find me a body. Not long ago, I sensed that Slot's soul had perished. This place will be used by me." The shadowy figure did not move, but a voice rang out.

The high priest gave a laugh that was quite ugly.

"Our clan has a method that allows you to use this legacy to achieve a world body, freeing you from the limitations of the physical body. In the battlefield of the heavens, you will be a mother world."

"...The price," Dark Nether said in a deep voice.

"Our race seeks to exterminate the human race's extraordinary beings, and we need you to mobilize the power of this ruin to aid the werewolf race," the high priest said.

"I want to know the authenticity of the law."

"Alright." The high priest took out a black crystal.

After reading it, Anming nodded.

"You stay here. After it's done, I want to see the second half."

"Of course, Barto, and you?"

The high priest smiled and looked at the elf.

"Of course it's possible." Barto smiled faintly, his handsome features shining through.

……

Ruins, unknown plains.

Suddenly, crimson flames erupted from Lin Ran's body, engulfing her entire being and gradually spreading to cover Yun Zhu as well.

A white dot suddenly appeared in the center of the crimson fire, and quickly spread outwards, turning the entire crimson fire white in just a few seconds.

After a long while, all the flames were withdrawn, and Lin Ran emerged with a wisp of flame.

[Fire Cloud Divine Skill - First Level LV4→LV5: 10/2500]

Lower-level Awakened One, Fire Attribute, Fifth Level!

Lin Ran patted Yunzhu, who wagged its tail and reluctantly got up.

Lin Ran found Yan Lingfei,

"Still unable to contact the outside world?"

"No." Yan Lingfei shook her head, looking dejected.

Lin Ran thought for a moment,

"Are there any forced contacts?"

"Yes, but it only works when you're about to die. It triggers a technique left by my grandfather that tears through space and takes us out. But if you use it, it will significantly lower your rating in the elite program, and might even downgrade your training program."

"Where's Feng Wuhen?" Lin Ran asked, turning her head.

"Same."

"You can discuss it yourselves. Now it's time to leave this ruin," Lin Ran said.

Feng Wuhen and Yan Lingfei were both taken aback.

After a moment of silence, Yan Lingfei asked.

"Captain, do you have some bad feeling about this time?"

"I don't know."

Lin Ran shook her head again; her desire to leave was growing stronger.

The two exchanged a glance, and Yan Lingfei spoke.

"Let me do it. Captain, you've also cultivated the Fiery Cloud Divine Skill. After I recover, you can help me heal faster. Captain, you haven't cultivated Feng Wuhen's skills, so your recovery is very slow."

"Okay, explain for me after you get out."

Lin Ran nodded and pressed her hand against Yan Lingfei's chest.

The spiritual energy surged and rushed into the defenseless heart. Just as it was about to shatter the heart, a layer of dark blue power reappeared out of thin air, dispersing the spiritual energy, but the aftershocks severely affected the internal organs.

Yan Lingfei suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood and collapsed limply, only to be caught by Lin Ran in time.

A tear was made in the crimson sky, revealing the outside world. A figure stood there, his face obscured by a blinding light behind him.

Lin Ran narrowed her eyes, enveloped the four of them with fire spiritual energy, and injected it into Yan Lingfei's body to heal her injuries.

A figure reached out, and a gigantic hand that blotted out the sky appeared out of thin air, grabbing the four of them and carrying them away from the secret realm.

Lin Ran felt a slight tremor in her body and then fell into a giant palm. The outside was filled with bizarre and colorful lights, but the inside was calm and peaceful.

After a short while, the giant hand disappeared.

Lin Ran discovered that he had returned to the outside world, and that a military camp with firearms not far away was already half-built.

Standing to the side was Yan Lingfei's grandfather, Yan Shuangying.

He frowned, his gaze sweeping back and forth across the four people, unable to understand what was going on for a moment.

"Old Master Yan, there's something going on at the site."

Lin Ran briefly explained the matter of werewolves and the son of the wolf god.

Yan Shuangying nodded.

"We are aware of this matter. Superhumans have already come to our aid and are currently engaged in battle on the battlefield of the heavens."

"And then there's the matter of extraordinary inheritance..." Lin Ran mentioned Yun Zhu, and then said...

"The Wolf God's Son, Trist, and Gao Ming have all entered the secret realm. There are unusual movements in the ruins of the dark side. I believe that this scale of action is not just aimed at a few of us lower-level awakened beings."

Yan Shuangying pondered for a moment.

"That makes sense. For Fei Fei's sake, I'll go and take a look myself. If what you said is wrong, you won't escape punishment."

"Okay, if there are no problems, I will accept any punishment," Lin Ran said calmly.

Yan Shuangying's brows relaxed a little.

"Keep an eye on Feifei, I'll be right back."

After he finished speaking, a dark blue flame burst open, and Yan Shuangying forcefully broke through the outer shell of the ruins and rushed into them.

"Captain, what if there really is no problem?" Yan Lingfei said weakly.

Lin Ran helped her sit down and let her lean against him, using his fire spirit energy to heal her injuries.

"It would be best if there were no problems. It's just a little punishment, which will only slow down the progress a bit. It's not a big deal."

"However, increasing speed is also important." Yan Lingfei forced a smile.

"It's not important to me," Lin Ran said without further explanation.

A few minutes later.

Feng Qingyang suddenly appeared.

"There's been a problem with the ruins. I'll take you away first."

With a wave of his hand, he led the four of them into the sky.

Lin Ran looked in the direction of the ruins. After Feng Qingyang left, a blinding light suddenly appeared in the ruins, followed by a giant mushroom cloud rising up.

Lin Ran: ...

He vaguely saw some figures carrying log transport trucks taking off...

Feng Qingyang's voice came.

"You did a good job, discovering the alien race's conspiracy in time. The Shadow Clan members in the ruins did not die, and under the guidance of the Elven experts, they set up an array."

"If we let them develop unchecked, the entire ruins will eventually become the body of the Shadow Clan, and none of the creatures inside will be able to escape."

"Phew~ Captain, your intuition is amazing." Yan Lingfei breathed a sigh of relief, completely relaxed, and fell asleep with her head tilted to the side.

Yunzhu moved closer and adjusted her into a comfortable position.

"How is Grandpa Yan?" Lin Ran asked.

"He'll be fine. Even if he's surrounded by more than ten peak-level transcendents, he can retreat with ease."

"I'll take you back to your base, then I'll go provide support."

Feng Qingyang increased his speed.

A few minutes later,

Lin Ran and the other three returned to the courtyard, but Feng Qingyang did not linger and went straight to the ruins battlefield.

inside the hospital,

Hearing the commotion, the three catgirls came out of the room and were stunned when they saw Lin Ran return.

Mengyu went forward and found that Yan Lingfei had taken her seat, so she asked:

"Did she eat too much?"
