Collapse, I will transform and punch you

Just as Bai Chen was about to close his eyes and rest until he reached his destination, he felt a weight on his head, as if someone was tying his hair!

When I opened my eyes, I found Rita sitting next to me, holding a comb, a mirror, and other things.

Thinking of yesterday's bad memories, Bai Chen's face turned green with fear. If he had known, he would have locked himself in the toilet!

"Oh, you're running so fast! Are there any notes on the mission? Next time, remember to wait until the commander finishes speaking."

"......"

Then Rita gave Bai Chen instructions on the mission while styling his hair.

I don't know if Rita is doing this on purpose, but Bai Chen feels that she is speaking slower than before, as if she is deliberately dragging her feet.

Damn it! I need to find time to learn how to do hairstyling! I want Rita to never touch her hair again!

At this moment, Bai Chen thought shamefully.

Without any information from Rita, after comparing this mission with the Shenzhou mythology, it can be speculated that the anomaly may be related to Chi You.

They went to investigate the situation and confirm whether the information was true.

Bai Chen confirmed the Butterfly Effect, and in the original novel, the Chiyou chapter did not involve the Tianming headquarters.

Daowei Chiyou is even worse. As a Judgment-level Honkai Beast, he is huge, and the game doesn't even give a full picture of him.

He even possesses an ancient city within his body! Legend has it that he can even devour continents! He can even be the strongest single Herrscher in the early stages of Honkai Impact 3rd.

In his previous life, when he was playing games, he battled wits and courage with Xing Maer in Chiyou's stomach, saving a few fragments of Honkai energy to exchange for various buffs. That was the most painful time for him, because at that time, only Bai Lian and Fei Hong were available.

If Xing dares to come, I will slap her in the face! She will definitely not have a good ending!

Your Chi You is even worse than that. I will use the Holy Judgment of Heavenly Fire to split your stomach in half!

Chapter 35 Undersea Investigation

"Do we need to investigate underwater?"

Bai Chen frowned as Rita handed him the underwater equipment. "He hasn't learned how to dive yet. He doesn't know if he can operate normally if he continues like this."

"Don't worry, this set of equipment, developed by Tianming, not only allows for free underwater movement but also provides powerful combat support capabilities."

While introducing it to Bai Chen, Rita put on the outfit.

The blue and white tights wrapped around Rita's body, making her already curvy figure even more attractive.

Bai Chen blushed and looked away, finding a room to change into his equipment.

As expected, it is a piece of equipment developed by destiny. After wearing Baichen, I feel my body is obviously relaxed and I can do whatever I want.

Now I should be able to easily deal with most Honkai beasts, as long as they are not particularly overpowered.

"When entering underwater, you need to use the side system to activate the mask."

While Bai Chen was adjusting to the new equipment, Rita approached him from behind, grabbed his hand, and operated his system.

Originally, Bai Chen was having trouble with Rita's contact, but now that both of them were wearing tights, Bai Chen could even keenly feel her shape.

I'm impressed! Is Rita really that enthusiastic towards strangers? Is she really treating me like a child?

Then you go find Theresa. Theresa has a long shelf life, not just a few years!

Unfortunately, Rita didn't give any special instructions. She just explained a few common operations and then took Bai Chen to investigate underwater.

Bai Chen didn't feel anything when he first entered the sea, but after diving for a long time, he clearly noticed the abnormal concentration of Honkai energy below.

It doesn't matter how high the concentration of Houkai energy is, the environment beneath the sea area shows many signs of Houkai assimilation.

Marine life in particular areas has experienced varying degrees of collapse and erosion.

However, no abnormalities were detected in the Houkai energy concentration nearby, despite the abnormalities being detected on the sea surface a few days ago.

It seems there's something like a Houkai energy pollution source nearby, intermittently releasing Houkai energy into the outside world.

If this is where Chiyou is, then it should be the Honkai energy released by Chiyou, right?

Has the seal really weakened after a thousand years?

"Bai Chen, abnormal reaction detected ahead, prepare to respond."

Rita's voice reached Bai Chen through the communicator, and at the same time, Bai Chen noticed a group of black shadows appearing in his direction.

With the help of the armor, Bai Chen could clearly see the black shadows: a school of Honkai beast-like fish!

Under the influence of Honkai energy, it is hard to tell what species it is, but one thing is certain: they are full of fangs and they are definitely not here to eat vegetarian food.

"Come at us. Since you can't hide, let us treat you well."

After observing the school of fish and noticing they were attacking with purpose, Rita immediately drew her weapon. The scythe, like a true Grim Reaper, instantly took away a large number of lives!

Bai Chen watched Rita's movements blankly, and couldn't help but exclaim in his heart, "What the hell is this? How can Rita swing a sickle so smoothly under such water pressure?"

She is simply superhuman!

Oh, the S-class Valkyrie is originally Superman, that's fine.

[Driven by Control: Holy Judgment of Heavenly Fire]

"Lady Rita, please step back!"

"Heavenly Fire Holy Judgment, Cannon Form."

Under Bai Chen's control, the Heavenly Fire Sacred Judgment transformed even more violently. Two bowl-sized pillars of fire instantly evaporated the seawater and hit the school of fish without hindrance.

The terrifying flames instantly enveloped the schools of fish, and the terrifying temperature not only destroyed them, but also evaporated a large wave of air that surged around them.

It even nearly affected Bai Chen.

When the heat wave nearly burned Bai Chen, Rita retreated, grabbed Bai Chen's shoulders, and retreated backwards to avoid the heat.

"Oh my, it's terrifyingly powerful! Although it's mentioned in your file, I didn't expect it to be nearly as powerful as the real God's Key."

Rita seemed a little surprised to see the fish disappear, but her relaxed expression seemed like she had expected it.

"First time using a weapon?"

Rita looked down at Bai Chen and asked, after all, Bai Chen had almost been accidentally injured just now.

"Indeed, this form is indeed used for the first time."

Bai Chen looked up at the twin guns in his hands with some surprise. He had underestimated the power of the Holy Fire Judge in this form. He was clearly quite far away from the school of fish, but he still nearly got caught.

"Would you be interested in visiting headquarters after this mission? Some people there will definitely be interested in you."

This ability to copy the God's Key is so incredible that even when Bai Chen was announced, the scientists at headquarters were eager to bring him to headquarters.

Not all of them were stopped by Lord Otto, and I don't know if Lord Otto was fighting.

“I refuse.”

Bai Chen would never agree to see the headquarters as a den of danger. Even if he could enter safely, he might not be able to come out safely.

Without the interference of the fish, Bai Chen followed Rita and began a more detailed investigation.

On the way, we encountered several waves of Honkai Beasts that came to cause trouble. Bai Chen dealt with all of them. Bai Chen never fired a second shot. If he did, it meant he had missed the target.

Every time Bai Chen shoots from a safe range, the explosion that devours the Honkai Beast is so cool to watch!

Bai Chen recalled the thrill of his childhood in the autumn fields, lighting the withered reeds with a lighter and instantly igniting a large flame.

More! I haven't seen enough!

Bai Chen didn't seem to notice, and now the smile under the hood became increasingly unbridled.

Rita was indeed an expert in her field, and soon she had located an area with obvious problems.

Seeing two huge rocks sticking out from the trench like horns, Bai Chen felt that he might have found a place this time!

Those two horns are like rocks as high as a hill. If I remember correctly, they are Chiyou horns.

It's hard to imagine how huge Chiyou's body must be. It's true to the legend that he can even devour the entire continent!

"The system detected a strong Houkai energy reaction. Lady Rita, this may be the cause of the abnormality in the sea area."

He had been using instruments to observe the white dust and reported to Rita.

"It seems that's the case. Collect some samples, record the coordinates, and we can conclude our mission today."

Rita's camera took pictures of the area from all angles, paying special attention to the two huge rocks.

Bai Chen also followed instructions and collected nearby samples. All he had to do now was wait for headquarters' response before he could begin the internal investigation. Hopefully, everything went smoothly.

He had promised Fu Hua something, so he didn't want to break it.

Chapter 36 Begins

After emerging from the sea, Bai Chen returned to the designated rest room to rest. Although he hadn't encountered any difficult situations today, the constant use of Heavenly Fire Judgment had consumed a lot of energy.

At the same time, Bai Chen discovered something surprising today: his physical fitness seemed to have improved significantly.

It's not an armor illusion. Although armor also brings a significant improvement in combat, it also has a significant improvement in itself.

I didn't notice this feeling when I first arrived today, but as I fought today, I gradually realized my abilities were improving, like I suddenly had a dozen extra days of training time.

The reason, if you have to guess, transform and sleep, right? There is that particularly real dream.

Do you want to try again sometime later?

That dream also came true. It seems I really want to meet the Thirteen Fire Chasing Heroes. It's a pity that not many of them died, otherwise I would really like to make friends with them.

No, if you can master the dimensional wall language, it doesn't necessarily mean...

Yu Baichen continued to try to figure out how to use the dimensional wall. After making no progress late into the night, he went to bed feeling depressed. After all, he probably had to start work tomorrow.

......

In the morning, after exercising outside for a while, Bai Chen came to the hall.

I found quite a few people gathered there, about twenty or so.

I also recognize a few people like Kiana, but Fuyuno didn't come. Come to think of it, it makes sense. After all, although she has combat capabilities, she hasn't received systematic training, so some coordination would be difficult.

"This mission involves four people in a group, with five teams in total exploring the area from different locations."

Rita had also been waiting there for a long time, and when she saw Bai Chenchang, she explained to him.

"No, our team is special. There are only two of us. So, is Bai Chen happy?"

As expected, Bai Chen thought Otto was testing the limits of his abilities. He figured Rita would probably try to take advantage of the situation when they faced a tough opponent.

Seeing that Bai Chen didn't respond, Rita sighed regretfully and then transmitted some information to Bai Chen's terminal.

"Today we are going to explore an area, remember to follow our instructions."

Bai Chen checked the information and found that today they were going to explore another cave that was relatively far away from the two corners they had been exploring yesterday.

When we did the environmental testing yesterday, we also detected a significant concentration of equivalent collapsing energy there.

"Hey! Xiaobai, you're finally here. We're about to leave, and you're just here."

Kiana, who had been distracted from reading the information, noticed Bai Chen and quickly stepped forward to hug him.

"Kiana? Are you coming too? It seems like I can't team up with you last time, and the exploration location is quite far away."

Bai Chen wasn't that interested this time. After all, he knew from playing games that the correct entrance was near those two corners, where the Xuanyuan Sword and Lianshan should be.

Then Ji Xuanyuan's body should be in Chiyou's stomach.

Every time he and Rita explored, they probably didn't get anything out of it.

"Haha, next time we explore the area, the most likely one is 'Jiuyou'."

Kiana proudly revealed their target, which was the two corner areas.

Bai Chen pursed his lips after looking at the pattern. If they were allowed to proceed in this mission, Ji Zi would probably be seriously injured, right?

"Kiana, can you please share your channel? It will make it easier for us to communicate."

Bai Chen said with some worry.

"Okay. I'm not really envious of you. You can actually team up with an S-rank Valkyrie. Her period never comes down, she just stays on Hyperion."

Without a doubt, Kiana directly opened the team communication channel.

Envy is a joke. If Rita didn't have Otto's instructions, she would be envious. Who doesn't like Serena Rita? But the current situation is like a knife hanging over one's head.
