For a mont, the entire place fell into a brief silence.
Bai Cheng imdiately exclaid in surprise, “Infinite Marauders!”
The mont she spoke, the figure standing at the cave entrance imdiately turned and ran.
“Catch him!” Bai Cheng shouted at once.
The reason she wanted to catch him instead of directly killing him was that Bai Cheng wanted to understand the situation inside the cave.
The mont her words fell, the Crimson Fla outside the train directly raised his palm, crimson energy surged, and a wall of fire suddenly appeared, completely sealing off the cave entrance behind the person.
The figure instantly froze in place, and when he looked back, Crimson Fla was already behind him. Before he could react, a large hand grabbed his neck, lifting him directly.
“Oh my goodness, I have no grievances with you, don’t kill !”
He struggled desperately, trying to twist his body, but Crimson Fla still brought him to the side of the train and unceremoniously threw him to the ground.
At this ti, Zi Yuan and Qing Niao also gathered around, standing to one side.
Bai Cheng and Yu Nian, on the other hand, looked the middle-aged man up and down with curiosity.
He had short hair, very dark skin, and wore worn-out orange work clothes. His khaki work pants were also covered in gri.
But then, their eyes narrowed, because they also saw bloodstains on his collar.
After approaching him, the faint, almost imperceptible scent of blood also wafted around.
Could there be other beasts in the cave?
Or rather, had the Infinite Marauders hiding here had an internal conflict and started killing each other?
Bai Cheng’s gaze fell on him. At this mont, the man’s eyes were filled with panic, and he also noticed the two young won approaching him.
He imdiately faced the two and said, “Two elder sisters, I have no enmity with you!”
“I’ll tell you everything I know. Please, two kind and beautiful elder sisters, be rciful and let go, okay?”
Bai Cheng was also slightly startled; she hadn’t even said anything yet, and this guy was already begging for rcy.
Aren’t Infinite Marauders supposedly very principled, constrained by the system? How could this guy...
However, she didn’t think much of it and asked the question she most wanted to know: “What’s the situation in this cave?”
The man seed to have anticipated Bai Cheng’s question and rattled off everything he had prepared beforehand, without any pause.
“Deep inside the cave, there’s a fla spirit core. These demonic beasts feed on minerals and can produce coal. We were also taking a risk, hoping to resupply the train with fuel and acquire supplies.”
“And after the Ashen Rain stops, when the beast horde attacks, we can use them to resist the assault...”
However, the man’s words were interrupted by Bai Cheng before he could finish.
“What about the bloodstains on your body?”
The man paused slightly, then after a mont of silence, he still spoke: “It’s my teammates’ blood. They wanted to kill .”
Bai Cheng showed an ‘I knew it’ expression upon hearing this, but she didn’t speak, instead quietly waiting for his next words.
“Our seven-person team had a disagreent because one of them obtained the Fla Spirit Crown and gained control of the fla spirit core. He wanted to stay here, but before that, we had been hungry for several days, and food was already insufficient...”
“Wait,” Yu Nian, who was beside her, asked with a puzzled expression, “What is the Fla Spirit Crown?”
A hint of longing mixed with fear appeared on the man’s face, and then he began to explain.
“That’s the core within the fla spirit core. Controlling it ans controlling all the fla spirits. Moreover, these demonic beasts revive in the pool within the core every other day, so they are practically inexhaustible.”
Bai Cheng understood.
The man’s teammate controlled all the fla spirits, and with the advantage of the terrain, he could completely stay here to farm monsters and make his employees stronger.
And as an Infinite Marauders, certain rules seed not to be constrained by the system.
For example, the longer one stays, the stronger the demonic beasts beco.
If that were truly the case, there wouldn’t be so many Infinite Marauders; they would probably have been killed by the attacking demonic beasts long ago.
Combining this with the information from the Pioneer’s mission, Bai Cheng guessed that the Infinite Marauders in the Lava Volcano area were very likely organized.
This made it easy to understand why the man’s teammate chose to stay here.
“Take to the core,” Bai Cheng said calmly.
She happened to need fla spirit core and coal. If she could get a few more deliveries, it would undoubtedly be even better.
No sooner had her words fallen than Crimson Fla directly lifted him, without waiting for his reply.
Bai Cheng looked at Zi Yuan and Yu Nian: “You two stay here for now.”
She was worried that other Infinite Marauders might break in during this ti.
Zi Yuan also nodded, because whether it was in the volcano or dealing with fla spirits, these were Crimson Fla’s strengths.
This place could almost be called his ho ground.
The two ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) then took the man and walked towards the cave entrance he had just fled from.
“Elder sister, please put down. I can’t run away anyway, I can walk by myself...” he said weakly.
Crimson Fla glanced at Bai Cheng, and after receiving confirmation, he released him, allowing him to lead the way.
“There are at least dozens of fla spirits there, and under artificial manipulation, their attacks will be even more disciplined. Even if you bring all your employees, elder sister, it might not be safe, let alone just one...”
He was full of worry, because if Bai Cheng died, he wouldn’t survive either.
The only reason he had managed to escape by chance earlier was due to his employees’ desperate resistance.
Bai Cheng couldn’t be bothered with him, while Crimson Fla directly reprimanded him: “Just lead the way when told, stop with the nonsense!”
The man imdiately wilted and obediently walked forward.
The dark tunnel was winding and tortuous, sotis narrow, sotis wide, and filled with other intersecting passages.
But the man seed to be incredibly familiar with the paths here, advancing towards the depths with an exceptionally clear objective.
Moreover, these reddish-black rocks also had the effect of shielding perception, greatly affecting both Crimson Fla and the other employees’ perception of their surroundings, as well as the train’s detection.
About half an hour later, the environnt finally opened up.
Before the three of them was a large underground plaza, where firelight dispelled all the darkness.
And in the center, a fountain of flas continuously surged upwards. Beside it, a man was dancing gracefully, holding a crown shimring with firelight, surrounded by fla spirits.
Bai Cheng didn’t see the train, only piles of ore on both sides, forming small mountains, and dark coal, which made her eyes light up.
At this mont, the man in the center also stopped dancing and looked over.
“My dear captain, I didn’t expect you to actually dare to deliver yourself to !”
He raised the crown high, and the surrounding fla spirits imdiately turned, countless fireballs instantly pouring towards the cave entrance.
The man was scared and wanted to run, but saw the tall figure beside him move forward.
The next second, a crimson fire ring exploded, rapidly sweeping across the entire area.
And sothing that left both him and the man holding the crown dumbfounded happened: the fla spirits, like brilliant fireworks, actually exploded directly!
“Holy cow!” the man exclaid, looking at Bai Cheng with an incredulous expression.
“Elder sister, you are simply the strongest Infinite Marauders I have ever seen!”
“Infinite Marauders?” Bai Cheng suddenly froze. “I am clearly a Survivor!”
“Wait,” she reacted.
“You’re not an Infinite Marauders... you’re a Survivor too?!”
