Accessory Mimir.
At this moment, Jin Luan was like Kratos from God of War 4, carrying an accessory to provide advice through images.
She didn’t waste words telling Jin Luan and Yin Lin to retreat, even knowing that Wan Zi was now that accessory, using her phone camera to transmit images for strategy.
There might be traps below, but retreat was impossible at this point.
Knowing that the Trench Coat Stranger was attacking Leaf Village, could Naruto Uzumaki not go back?
No, because if he didn’t go back, the village would be slaughtered.
The problem now was the same: if they didn’t go down, Yiri City would be done for.
The only preparation Yin Lin could make was to raise her shield, charge her attack, and ready the Magic Power Cannon.
Before flying into the large pit, her charge level had already reached 30%, capable of causing significant damage.
Jin Luan had originally wanted to hide behind Yin Lin, but in the end, she steeled herself and flew to the front.
This was related to important issues like face, future position, and status.
Jin Luan couldn’t cower in the back.
Even if her defense was inferior to Yin Lin’s, she had to stand in the front line.
Seeing this small detail, Wan Zi on the phone grinned slightly, said nothing, and continued drinking tea.
They passed through the smoke-filled pit entrance, entered the underground, and soon reached Basement Level 1, the depth of the metro that citizens used daily.
The metro tunnel had already been destroyed and was currently in emergency shutdown.
The diameter of the pit below was larger than that on the surface.
They could hear some sounds—small explosions.
Continuing to fly downward, both of them were covered in a layer of dust.
“The situation below is very grim,”
Wan Zi said.
They could see light below, like flames, and the temperature was rising.
“Still can’t sense any mana?”
Wan Zi asked.
“No.”
“No.”
Jin Luan and Yin Lin still hadn’t sensed any mana up to now.
“I have a suggestion. I think it would be better for Yin Lin to take the front,”
Wan Zi offered a seemingly rational suggestion.
“No need. I’m in front to facilitate quick attacks. If I were in the back, I’d need to close the distance—it’s a bit troublesome.”
Jin Luan immediately rejected it.
She had Instant Step, so that distance was definitely no big deal.
She accelerated downward a bit more, afraid that Yin Lin would actually go to the front.
Seeing her resolute attitude, Wan Zi didn’t persuade further.
Actually, this was more like setting a trap, as if she had predicted that Jin Luan would take the initiative to go forward.
Wan Zi perhaps wanted to protect Yin Lin more, not Jin Luan.
She was the kind of person who would use any means to achieve her goals, and her current behavior seemed aimed at increasing Yin Lin’s survival rate, even if it meant selling out Jin Luan.
Another minute passed, and the two approached Basement Level 2.
This place was really deep.
The temperature kept rising, the view became clearer, and they could see the environment below.
The glowing was indeed flames.
The first thing they reached was a huge pit, indicating that Basement Level 2 was the center of the explosion.
Golden rice grains had been set ablaze, forming a raging fire.
What met their eyes was a bottomless sea of fire, clearly set maliciously.
This was a place Yin Lin had been to before, even visited.
“Holy crap,”
Yin Lin blurted out emotionally.
She accelerated and flew quickly in one direction.
A fifty-fifty chance—one of the left or right sides would have enemies.
“Do you want me to keep saying ‘holy crap’?”
Yin Lin was quite annoyed now.
“What did you say?”
Jin Luan thought she misheard.
Jin Luan actually hesitated for a moment at this point.
Wan Zi spoke again:
“Let me remind you: although splitting up is the most effective strategy to minimize Yiri City’s losses, if you really separate, you might regret it for the rest of your lives.”
Without needing her to say it, Jin Luan knew what to do.
She immediately chased after Yin Lin, giving up the other direction.
She soon caught up beside Yin Lin.
They flew several hundred meters along the railway on Basement Level 2.
Everything around them was burning, countless crops destroyed, filling the underground space with thick smoke that hadn’t been vented.
The sea of fire had to extend at least a thousand meters.
For some reason, the fire suppression system hadn’t activated, letting the fire rage unchecked.
Suddenly, laughter came from between them—it was Wan Zi’s.
“What are you laughing at, you wretch?”
Jin Luan felt a chill in her heart.
“I’m laughing at the Demonic Creatures’ lack of strategy and the Star Summoning Society’s lack of wisdom.”
Wan Zi seemed to have noticed something and continued:
“If I were advising them, I would blow this place up, trapping you here so you can’t get out.”
‘Girl, is this the time to say that?’
‘Is this the time to summon gods?’
Sure enough, just a few hundred meters further in, explosions sounded from both behind and ahead, almost simultaneously.
The pit they came down from exploded again, and Basement Level 2 collapsed, sending a large amount of dirt and gravel down, sealing that path.
It wasn’t over.
Another spot also exploded and collapsed, blocking the other path.
They were trapped in this several-hundred-meter-long tunnel.
There were only a few effective ways to deal with Yin Lin: either break her shield with an extremely high single-hit output while simultaneously damaging her, like the Senior Demonic Entity’s Sniper Cannon.
Or hard control her, like Greenfield did.
This time, the enemy had clearly adopted the second method, trying to control Yin Lin.
“Good news and bad news—which do you want to hear first?”
Wan Zi was still very calm at this moment.
“You’re in the mood to joke at a time like this?”
Jin Luan yelled, already sweating from the heat of the fire.
“Tell me the good news first.”
Yin Lin remained calm, after all, with thirty-four years of life experience, she was as steady as an old dog, continuing to charge her attack.
The signal here began to have some interference, and Wan Zi’s video feed became choppy.
“The good news is that the enemies you’re facing are far inferior to you in raw strength, which is why they have to resort to underhanded methods.”
Jin Luan:
“And the bad news?”
Wan Zi laughed again, a very fake laugh, as if she was play-acting with hostility.
“Lack of strategy. If I were the one planning, I would cut off the ventilation system now and use poison gas. You’d die here.”
“You’re still joking at a time like this?”
Jin Luan’s mood was clearly not good.
She was anxious, searching for the enemy’s whereabouts.
“Do you want me to bluntly tell you that trapping you here isn’t the final goal, but a setup for the next attack?”
Wan Zi said it bluntly.
As soon as she finished speaking, the phone started a high-temperature alarm.
Only then did they notice the abnormal stuffiness around them.
The ventilation system seemed to have really failed.
The fire was burning.
They didn’t know how long the oxygen here would last.
The enemy clearly wasn’t trying to suffocate them by burning the oxygen—that was unreliable.
The ventilation system suddenly restarted, but instead of drawing air out and exhausting it, it had changed to only exhaust air in here.
A large amount of visible green-yellow smoke was being pumped into this enclosed underground space.
“Holy crap, it really is a poison gas attack, and this color looks familiar.”
“What do you guys like to eat?”
Wan Zi spoke again.
Jin Luan:
“What?! You’re asking this at a time like this?”
Wan Zi:
“As your comrade-in-arms, I can at least put some of your favorite foods on your graves.”
At that moment, Yin Lin made her move.
A thick beam of light shot out, illuminating the underground space even brighter.
There’s a saying: one force overcomes ten skills.
This highly charged Magic Power Cannon hit the collapsed dirt and gravel, easily blasting open the obstructing debris.
The continuous damage from the milky white Explosion Ring became an excellent magic for clearing subsequent falling rocks.
The enemy’s painstakingly prepared tactics against them were resolved with one Magic Power Cannon shot.
“Well, it looks like you won’t be getting any offerings. Next, you’ll have to face them in battle directly.”
Wan Zi had probably guessed this outcome.
She wasn’t very surprised.
