I transformed into a cute girl and lived a carefree life in the apocalypse.

"Qianxue, hold my hand and don't run around."

Yan Ziming continued to explore, but she was much more careful now. After confirming that there were more than just them on the island, the risk of encountering danger increased significantly.

Ye Qianxue was also ordered not to leave within three steps of her to avoid encountering danger that she could not be rescued in time.

Chapter Sixty-Two: Separation

Roar--

A 20-meter-long crocodile opened its enormous jaws in the river where Yan Zimo was passing, and Yan Zimo was almost bitten in two.

Holy crap! That scared the hell out of me!

Unexpectedly, this island was also fraught with danger. Yan Ziming put aside his underestimation of it and truly treated this mission as a survival journey.

Yan Ziming carried Ye Qianxue and retreated rapidly. Then, he raised the Thunder Cutter and, with lightning speed, slashed it across the crocodile's mouth. Lightning exploded, blood and flesh splattered everywhere, and the crocodile's mouth was severed and fell off.

The flesh at the wound site was charred, and if you looked closely, you could see snakes writhing inside, destroying its flesh and tissue.

Its appearance is comical; with the crocodile mouth cut off, its intimidating presence is not as strong as before.

That's only on the surface.

Yan Ziming has never underestimated S-class mutated species. They are like behemoths of a siege, becoming more terrifying the more they are injured. A single blow can kill a sixth or even seventh-level ability user.

The crocodile went berserk. In the blink of an eye, the giant trees around it exploded, and a strong gust of wind slammed into Yan Ziming's electromagnetic barrier, creating a sizable crater in the wake of the powerful shockwave.

The electromagnetic barrier shone brightly, and Yan Ziming could hear its irresponsible voice. He flashed back more than ten meters, and the crocodile tail smashed another patch of trees.

In the next instant, the area within a radius of 500 meters became a sea of ​​lightning. Countless currents composed of lightning surged over the crocodile, causing countless blood flowers to explode on its body, which were then evaporated into blood mist.

"Hmph! Eat shit!"

The entire Thunder Realm flowed into the Thunder Slash in an instant, and an aura of world destruction spread out, causing the crocodile to feel its legs trembling.

A glint of lightning flashed in Yan Ziming's eyes. In order not to make too much noise and disturb the other group, she could not just fire indiscriminately as before, so she had to take a roundabout approach and fight in close combat.

Finally, after a series of arduous dodging maneuvers, Yan Ziming successfully circled behind the crocodile and plunged his right-hand Raikiri into its body.

The crocodile stopped moving abruptly, its eyes dimmed, and its body turned red at a visible speed, burning and melting from the point where the Raikiri had pierced it, finally turning into ashes.

"Sister, you can die!"

Ye Qianxue, who had been just observing, exclaimed excitedly, "I can never get tired of watching my older sister's heroic figure in battle. But when will I be able to fight alongside her?"

"It's alright, nothing special." Yan Ziming poked Ye Qianxue's rosy cheek, showing no modesty whatsoever.

She is becoming increasingly skilled at guiding her domain into the Thunder Cutter and then releasing it. She mastered this skill after the Battle of Yongjing, and it will greatly benefit her in breaking through to the eighth rank in the future.

"Tch, what do you mean 'not bad'? You're sweating buckets! You would have done a better job if Mo Xin had done it."

Mo Xin mocked Yan Ziming with dissatisfaction, as she was truly unhappy that Yan Ziming had prevented her from taking action.

"You'll have your chance to step in eventually, don't get angry over something so small, my little loli~"

The little girl is Yan Ziming's trump card, how can he waste it in a battle against this giant reptile?

Moreover, Yan Zimo really doesn't need to expend too much effort to deal with it.

Mo Xin, the little loli, gave a haughty "humph" and continued to guide Yan Ziming on the way.

"Big sister, the hour is almost up."

"...I almost forgot, let's go back." Yan Ziming slapped his forehead, wondering how he could have forgotten such an important thing.

As she was about to take Ye Qianxue back, a ring Ye Qianxue was wearing gleamed silver, and in the next instant, two figures appeared in front of them.

"Have you found anything?" Yan Shan asked, still dressed as he had on the cruise ship, getting straight to the point.

Yan Zimo first stated the most important point, and then reported some other discoveries, both big and small, to Yan Shan.

"Anyone else?" Mu Mu asked in surprise. Besides those who knew about the sea snake corpse, who else would be so bored as to come to this remote place?

Unless it's profitable!

"Could it be that our goals are the same?" Ye Qianxue asked, and Yan Shan's face turned ugly, like a wilted eggplant.

Could it be that their internal secrets have been leaked again?

impossible!

Only the few ninth-level beings and the three women, Yan Ziming and the others, knew that there were sea serpent corpses here. Moreover, Qin Tianhai had never issued any notice about the 055's flight route; the route he took to get here was changed on the spot.

In that case, only the possibility of coincidence remains, but the other party must have come for something.

Otherwise, who would come to this place full of unpredictable dangers?

If the other side can survive in this area, they must be quite strong. If we happen to run into them, we might even expose our whereabouts.

Yan Shan quickly formulated a plan of action and said to Yan Ziming and the others, "If you encounter another group of people, be careful not to let them trick you into revealing anything, understand?"

"Okay, that's all!" Yan Ziming assured him that he wouldn't reveal any secrets.

In fact, Yan Shan was most worried about her. His niece's lying skills were so bad that he couldn't stand it anymore. Keeping quiet was the best way for her to keep secret.

"So..."

boom--!

A tremendous roar came from deeper within the island, like a volcanic eruption, causing the earth to shake.

"Go check it out, be careful not to get lost, this fog is weird... hmm?"

Yan Shan gave special instructions. He suddenly realized that the fog was extremely thick. The field of vision, which was originally more than 20 meters away, had become less than 1 meter. Yan Ziming and the others had also disappeared.

"Get closer to me—!" Yan Shan roared. The sudden change did not make him lose his composure. His first thought was not to let everyone get scattered.

However, his voice seemed to be confined to a very small area and could not be heard.

He directly released his domain, covering a distance of over a thousand meters. The mist thinned within this area, but Yan Ziming and the others were no longer visible.

"Damn it! What happened?!"

Yan Shan cursed angrily.

The pervasive mist seemed to have changed, becoming even more powerful, just like when facing the sea serpent itself.

However, it is certain that the sea snake is dead, so it couldn't be the culprit.

So what's going on?

"What exactly happened? Where are they?"

After Yan Ziming was enveloped in mist, she felt as if she was being lifted up by a mysterious force. When she came to her senses, she realized that the area she was in had changed.

She remained calm and did not wander around, but the range of electromagnetic induction was limited to within 100 meters, and she could not find anyone around her. Her voice could not be transmitted, and her communication equipment could not be used, so she was in a stalemate for a time.

Continuing to wait here is not a solution, so Yan Ziming decided to take the initiative. Since she couldn't use electromagnetic induction, she still had the cheat-like little girl, Mo Xin.

"Mo Xin, is there any way?"

"Of course this spirit has a way~" Mo Xin said confidently, sounding very self-assured.

"Judging from your smug look, you must know something, right?"

Yan Ziming seemed to be able to see Mo Xin's physical form as he smiled and said.

"This is the master's doing!"

"What?" Yan Ziming exclaimed in surprise, but his mind was absorbed in what Mo Xin had said.

Was this commotion also the work of Xian'er?

No way! I must make her teach me some magic techniques sometime in the future!

"I won't ask you how Xian'er did it, just take me to find Qianxue and the others."

Yan Ziming was most worried about them. He would put the current matter aside and find them first.

"Uh... I can only take you to the burial site of the sea serpent's corpse... I can't help you find the person," Mo Xin said softly, like a deflated balloon.

"...Why are you speaking so softly? I won't blame you, my little loli~ Lead the way!"

Since all of this was caused by Xian'er, wouldn't finding the source solve the problem?

As Mo Xin just mentioned, the source is the burial site of the sea snake's corpse. Once we get there, all the problems will be solved.

"Mmm!" the little girl responded happily, and the Thunder Cutter flew away from Yan Ziming's palm, guiding her forward.

Chapter Sixty-Three: Farewell Forever

"Big sister—cough, cough..."

After shouting for more than ten minutes, Ye Qianxue's throat began to feel dry, and she couldn't help but cough a few times.

During that time, she just wandered around aimlessly, without a clear destination, only thinking about finding Yan Ziming and the others.

She was in a dense forest, and as she walked through the mist, all she could see was green jungle, teeming with snakes, insects, and rodents.

Centipedes over a meter long, man-eating wasps the size of a human head, stick insects larger than an adult, and many more are everywhere; they might be on your head, at your feet, or even crawling on your body...

Fortunately, Ye Qianxue had experienced even worse environments; otherwise, an ordinary person would have already broken down.

"Big sister—Master sister—where are you... Huwa!"
