Amid endless mountain ranges.
"Boom boom boom boom!"
The massive Storm Airship fleet continuously released Magic Rune Gliding Bombs, driving an army of hundreds of thousands of bizarre creatures onward. Afterward, they gradually slowed, watching the creature army flee into a transparent area between two mountains and swiftly vanish.
"Report the data," Pandora said from the command cabin.
Bi Bi answered quickly, "Energy reading: 32.39."
Pandora's eyes widened slightly. "So far, even the largest shelter we cleared had an energy reading of no more than 5, right?"
"That's right," Bi Bi replied. "The weakest energy reading was 0.0022, and the strongest was 4.89. This one is more than 6.62 times the previous highest reading." As a Magic Rune Mechanical Doll, Bi Bi's calculating ability had become extraordinarily impressive after Richard's repeated modifications. She reeled off a series of figures without a moment's thought.
It was precisely this ability, combined with the constant infusion of memories, that had turned her into something like a humanoid archive, database, and computing center, leading Richard to appoint her as Pandora's assistant.
After hearing Bi Bi's answer, Pandora frowned slightly and thought for a second. "More than six times... Looks like we've run into something big. There's a strong chance this is their Main Shelter."
"Then we..." Bi Bi looked at Pandora in slight confusion and asked, "What do we do next?"
"Stay alert. Have the formation spread out!" Pandora said quickly.
"Why?" Bi Bi did not understand, but while asking, her hands did not slow. Her fingers swiftly swept through a series of lights around her body.
The next moment, before Pandora could answer, reality gave Bi Bi the answer.
"Crash!"
With a loud sound, the ground below suddenly split apart, revealing a fissure dozens of meters wide and nearly a thousand meters long.
