Gao Wu: After transforming into a soft girl, I became a calamity?

"What... is going on?"

Because it wasn't far, Jiang Mian quickly arrived outside the training camp.

Despite her eagerness, she remained cautious as always, observing the surrounding area for a while beforehand.

The entire training camp was sealed off by some kind of barrier.

Moreover, it is a semi-enclosed area like the "beast cage," with a semi-circular enclosure visible from the outside.

Jiang Mian manipulated the shadows to condense into a tentacle, which gently touched the edge of the domain.

The moment they made contact, the tentacles, made of pure energy, turned a grayish-white deathly aura, then transformed into black specks of light and gradually dissipated into the air.

"The ability of the [Death] path?"

She frowned.

Could they be "reinforcements" brought in from elsewhere?

Never mind, let's go in and take a look first!

Judging from the previous test, as long as we don't come into contact with the "death energy" in this area, we should be fine.

Just to be on the safe side, Jiang Mian put on a wind shield and then added a shadow shield before rushing in.

However, no sooner had she left than a figure in a black uniform followed closely behind.

You Hui stood in the void, looking at the training camp shrouded in deathly silence, his face full of solemnity.

"[Desolate Forest]? [Secluded Locust Tree]?"

This thing is ranked 31st in the sequence, while the one in front of us is only at the peak of the sixth rank.

Logically speaking, as long as it's not at the seventh rank, Zhong Yue, who is stationed at the training camp, should be more than capable of dealing with it.

He came straight here as soon as he received the distress signal.

Looking back now, everything about it seems suspicious.

For example, the signal was sent directly to his hand, and it was highly targeted.

Aside from that eighth-tier [Yellow Flame War God], he was one of the strongest people in Base One City.

I'm afraid even this signal was sent by those moles.

I don't know what their purpose is.

Just to be on the safe side, You Hui had already sent a message on the way here, asking the other high-level awakened individuals to also head over here.

Since it's within the territory of Base City No. 1, we should arrive soon.

Since we're already here, let him lead the way.

……

Where are they?

Jiang Mian looked around, covering the entire training camp with his shadow power, but he couldn't see anyone.

Many strangely shaped dead trees have appeared along the roadside, and the lights are all off, making the surroundings seem particularly eerie.

In the very center of the training camp, there is a massive, gray-black tree as thick as a tall building, with a human face with its eyes closed growing on its trunk.

It seems that it's what's holding this field together.

But it seemed to have no aggressive intent, and even when Jiang Mian swaggered past it, it didn't react at all.

Since they're not stopping me, I'll just ignore it.

Jiang Mian closed his eyes and tried to sense the location of the save point.

At the same time, through the feedback from "Domination", she could confirm that Shen Qiuyu was safe and had not even suffered any injury.

But Xu Xiaoan's situation... might be worse.

Jiang Mian clearly felt that the save point was nearby, but she just couldn't pinpoint its exact location.

She believes there are two possibilities:

Xu Xiaoan is either in some virtual space or imprisoned in some closed area.

Neither of them are in the present world, so they can shield her from the perception of save points.

Given the choice between the two, Jiang Mian prefers the latter.

Since that's the case, perhaps...

Before she could even make a move, a crimson shooting star streaked across the sky!

Jiang Mian raised her head.

The gray-black "sky" of the area was divided in two, revealing the pitch-black night behind it.

When her gaze focused on the crimson meteor, she was surprised to find that it was a strangely shaped red flying sword.

Just then, the giant tree stirred.

The human face on its trunk opened its eyes, revealing dark eyeballs below, which looked quite eerie.

Then, the branch twisted and grew limbs, pulling itself out of the soil.

This scene seems somewhat familiar?

Jiang Mian frowned, her heart racing slightly, as if warning of some impending danger.

In the night sky, another "comet" shimmered with an eerie purple light as it fell to the ground.

In almost an instant, they arrived on top of the tree-man's head.

Clearly, the one above did not give it a chance to resist.

"call out!"

A sharp whistling sound came from the air, and purple light pierced through the tree trunk in an instant, slamming hard into the ground!

The tree-man swayed twice and then sat back down in the pit, but cracks had appeared on its trunk, and it began to swell violently.

A bright purple-gold light flashed within the crack, but it quickly reached its limit, and with a "bang," it exploded into countless fragments.

A purple light rose from the smoke and returned to You Hui's side.

Surrounding him were six flying swords of different shapes and colors, including the red sword from before.

"A peak sixth-tier Calamity was instantly killed?"

Before he could even sigh, Jiang Mian was locked onto by an incredibly powerful mental force.

Her pupils contracted slightly as she looked at the figure in the night sky.

You Hui, Sequence 14, [Light of the Sky], Rank 7... Peak.

At this point, Jiang Mian could easily understand what Wangchuan was trying to do.

Among the people in the underground city, eight out of ten have spies from the River of Oblivion.

The reason they went to such lengths to lure her here was ultimately to verify her identity, not to kill her.

However, for some reason, the other party did not directly attack Shen Qiuyu.

Instead, they targeted Xu Xiaoan specifically, creating the illusion that they had already taken action, thereby setting a trap for her.

If "Xu Miao" is truly "formless" and is the original essence.

So, it would take some time to travel from the underground city to here. At You Hui's speed, he would have already finished resolving the matter.

The other trainees were taken to a closed area for protection and remained safe.

In this regard, it can be said that the Wangchuan Grand Canal was set up to lure high-ranking humans and weaken their power.

But if "Xu Miao" has problems, and is just a cover for others,

Concerned about revealing their true identity, and in order to save time, they would definitely come to check the situation in person.

That would mean running into You Hui, who was on his way, and a conflict between them was inevitable.

Not only could it escalate the conflict between the two parties, but it could also provide an opportunity to test her identity and true intentions, achieving two goals at once.

It was a very simple plan, merely taking advantage of the time difference, yet it perfectly captured her mindset.

Thinking further, if she didn't have the means to deal with You Hui, would Wang Chuan send someone to "rescue" her and take the opportunity to coerce her into cooperating?

Jiang Mian couldn't help but gasp.

Admittedly, she underestimated her opponent.

But the other party clearly underestimated her.

Jiang Mian was absolutely certain that Wang Chuan had probably guessed her identity, but did not believe that she and Ye Chenyang were a real couple.

Therefore, Wangchuan believes that once his identity as the "Doomsday" is exposed, he will be left isolated and helpless.

At that time, there will be an opportunity to force her to temporarily side with the calamity.

Jiang Mian keenly saw a glimmer of hope for turning the tide.

"If we can leverage this information gap, there might still be room for a turnaround."

However, there's no time to think about how to solve the problem of the River of Oblivion right now.

We need to think of a way to get past You Hui first.
