After being reborn, I was turned into a slave girl by a princess.

and so……

"Su-Ling, you stay in the boat."

"Xiao Luo, wait a minute, what are you doing?!"

"Prepare the medicine and bandages; I'm going to try to help her."

"!"

In the end, Lonnies did not follow Elusia's instructions.

She couldn't stand by and watch people in distress die.

But before attempting any rescue, one must devise a plan.

Chapter 35 The Girl in Battle

Lorne, though she wants to help others, is not actually a reckless person.

The girl knew she had no fighting ability whatsoever. If she rashly stepped off the magic ship, any monster could easily defeat her... Even if she didn't die, if she were dragged away by a monster and taken to its lair, things would become extremely bad.

So, Lonnie put it on.

To be precise, it's called a "Girl's Single-Person Male Combat Jacket," the one Lonese wore at the Autumn Arts Festival.

During this transport mission, this coat was also placed in a wooden crate... Lonnie skillfully took off her high heels and was dressed in less than 10 minutes.

Because Elusia wasn't around, Lonnies didn't dare to put on the hood rashly, which made him look rather comical—a woman's head, a muscular body, and a muscular physique that would seem very incongruous to anyone.

"Xiao Luo, this...this is..."

"Okay, I'll head out now."

Feeling a unique sense of power, Lonnie pushed open the door and ran outside.

How can one describe the air of this boundless land?

It has a corrosive smell of rust, and also a unique fragrance of soil.

It was as if, during a night of heavy rain, one had stumbled upon an abandoned factory overgrown with vegetation. The drizzling raindrops slid down the girl's hair and dripped onto the ground.

Under normal circumstances, Lornes would likely have found it difficult to trek a long distance on such soft ground. However, with the help of her coat, she covered several meters with each step, reaching the woman in distress in less than two minutes.

“Aba, Aba…”

The situation was pretty much as Lornish had predicted; her pupils were dilated, and she was delirious, only able to utter some murmured sounds.

"Are you alright? I'll come help you right away."

Lonnie tried to hug the woman and take her back. But then something strange happened.

The ground shifted slightly, and then a twisted, long object wrapped around Lonnie's ankle.

At first, Lonnie thought it was a tentacle monster, but she quickly realized... the object looked very hard, more like some kind of root.

Lonnie lifted her toes, and the coat exerted a power far exceeding that of a young girl, instantly breaking free from the roots' restraints.

But at the same time, the woman in the white coat also seemed to have gone mad, suddenly losing control and attacking those around her... Her fists slammed viciously into Lonnie's skin. Luckily, she was wearing a coat, otherwise, not only would this punch have shoved the petite Lonnie into the mud.

"Don't attack, I'm here to help you."

"Nutrition, existence, assimilation, circulation..."

The woman continued her attack on Lonnie, uttering incomprehensible words.

Fortunately, the woman wasn't a combatant, and even when she went berserk, her strength was quite limited... Relying on the memories of the hero, Lonnies fought for only a few rounds before the silver-haired girl turned around and used her knee to pin the woman down, knocking her unconscious.

"Huff, huff... What's going on?"

Despite her victory, Lonnie felt no joy whatsoever.

She sensed something eerie, and her instincts told the young heroine that something extraordinary was quietly happening on this dark earth.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

With the help of the authentication card carried by Yicheng, Elusia and Baiye entered the boundless research institute.

The light was very dim, with only the pale green emergency lights illuminating the outline of the circular corridor.

Fortunately, neither Elusia, Izumi, nor Baiye were ordinary people... They determined their goal for this trip with almost no communication.

"White Coconut, which floor is the archives on?"

"The third floor, right next to the laboratory."

"Yes, lead us over there."

……

Drop, drop, drop...

The piercing alarm still echoed inside the research station.

Pushing open the door to the archives, a musty smell hit her nose, and the sight that met her eyes stunned the usually calm and collected Elusia.

The cabinets here are completely rusted, as if they have been abandoned for more than ten years.

The books and notes that originally contained information had all become moldy and rotten, making it impossible to decipher what was written on them.

"White Coconut, what's going on?"

"I-I don't know..."

The young female doll stared in astonishment. According to her data, the archive room was perfectly clean just a week ago, and she had even brought coffee to the researchers, offering them comfort and warmth.

And now...

"Captain Elusia, outsiders have invaded this place."

"what?"

"It's definitely a demon. It destroyed all the data here with acid spray. Its purpose seems to be to prevent the rescue team from knowing what happened."

Even though she was blindfolded, Yicheng still managed to sense some information.

"Destruction... It seems someone wants to destroy us?"

"That's what I think too."

"Hmph, then you start searching from the east, and Baiye starts searching from the west. Let's see if there are any clues left... I refuse to believe they could have destroyed everything so thoroughly!"

Elusia frowned; she was born with this kind of indomitable spirit.

however……

"Captain, no need, I can handle this."

"what?"

"As the inheritor of the Temple of Clarity, I was born to do this kind of thing."

……

As she spoke, Yicheng removed the black cloth from her eyes.

What came into Elusia's view was a pair of dull, dark pupils, as if they had been broken... It was as if they were not a pair of eyes, but two abysses that could absorb all the light.

"Yicheng, you..."

Upon seeing the orange-haired girl, Elusia gasped in shock.

Yi Cheng smiled faintly, and said in a similarly indifferent tone:

“That’s right, so Elusia, we’ve actually met before.”

"Phew, so it was you who challenged the Abyss... No wonder there were such memories left in the Velo device in the underground shopping district."

"Unfortunately, I did not succeed, and my eyes, having experienced too much, are now almost blind and unusable."

"Haha, although it's a pity, I feel like you're showing off. Being able to penetrate General Caster's castle and fight your way in and out is already a remarkable achievement~"

"This ability is less than one ten-thousandth of Master's. Master personally slew a demon king and plundered all his abilities."

"Hmph, don't try to flatter me! I just got lucky and happened to get the power of the End of the World. So, did you see any useful information?"

"Found it. It all started 10 days ago when the researchers at the research station unearthed a peculiar tree species."

Gazing at a long-rotten notebook, Yi Cheng said this.

Chapter 36 Plant Disaster

The boundless land is a barren wasteland.

This is a well-known fact recorded in textbooks.

This place was once a vast battlefield of the previous era. Countless weapons were poured upon this land, burning everything to ashes.

It is precisely for this reason that the boundless land is almost barren, the environment here is extremely harsh, the soil is full of decaying power, and wild beasts often lurk in the darkness, trying to take people's lives.

however……

Just yesterday, our surveyors found a peculiar tree species in area B6.

Did it drift from somewhere else? But in a place like this boundless land, it would be impossible for it to take root and sprout.

However, despite not having high hopes, due to the rigor of academic research, we still found boundless soil and prepared to try cultivating it in a greenhouse.

……

……

How can it be? !
