Above, countless points of light, resembling stars, shifted and moved. A Legion of blue birds with glowing feathers circled and flapped their wings, leaping over the cave beside Russell and disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Ying Yingying muttered to herself, cursing Russell for his lack of gentlemanly manners. She tore her backpack to pieces, tied them around her waist, and made a makeshift skirt to cover herself.

It's a bit chilly, but it's still better than open-crotch pants!

Guided by birds, the two did not linger, passing through a spacious cave, where a dreamlike world, comparable to mythology, appeared before them. Towering rocks stood amidst swirling mist like white clouds, waterfalls cascaded down, and ancient trees reached for the sky; the unique ecological environment was breathtaking.

The sky above the underground world is a canopy of rock, where a constantly glowing and heating spherical object rolls back and forth, illuminating the world and providing irreplaceable energy.

"An underground sun? That's not scientific!" Russell snapped out of his shock and immediately exclaimed.

"Journey to the Center of the Earth is adapted from the 19th-century novel of the same name. At that time, humans knew very little about the Earth, and everything was based on imagination, so there's no need to worry about these things." Ying Yingying said, while looking around for marks left by her teammates.

Suddenly, a gentle breeze swept by, and the two of them froze in surprise.

[Ding! Host has triggered World Quest]

[World Quest: Escape! The true exit lies hidden within the ruins of a civilization. Find it and leave the Inner Earth World.]

[Mission failed. Train the Skull Island's Handsome Guy to defeat the four monsters in a 1v4 battle, then you can leave this world.]

World Quest has been triggered. Russell was a little surprised. He could leave after failing the quest and completing the penalty. This was the first time he had encountered this. But could someone tell him who the Skull Island's Handsome Guy was?

Well, I do know that, Lung Kwan!

There's also the mission to escape from the brink of death, which seems so simple. Would using spatial teleportation be considered a foul?

Ying Yingying froze in place. As soon as she stepped into the Inner Earth World, she received a notification from the main god that this Team Battle was not as intense as she had imagined.

The main task is to explore the ruins of civilizations. There are 5 unknown ruins of civilizations in the underground world. You only need to explore 3 of them to successfully complete the task.

There are still rewards for killing other squads of Reincarnator, but the kill ratio is unrelated to the main quest and is not used as the final evaluation.

In other words, even if all members of other squads are killed, the mission will still be considered a failure if three civilizations are not explored. Similarly, if all members of your own squad are killed, the mission will be considered a success as long as three civilizations are explored.

"Judging from the surface hints of the mission, there is no direct conflict of interest between the various teams, unless someone is dissatisfied with the main mission rewards and wants to get more Reward Points." Ying Yingying muttered to herself, then turned to Russell: "Jason, the Supreme God has issued a mission, I'm sure you've seen it, let's form an alliance!"

Alliance!

Q: What is an alliance?

A: For a better betrayal!

Russell raised an eyebrow and probed, "How do you intend to form an alliance?"

"The main god asked us to explore the ruins of civilizations, but did not specify that only one team could achieve final victory. In addition, there are 5 ruins of civilizations, so exploring 3 is enough to succeed..." Ying Yingying analyzed, "I suspect that these ruins of civilizations are very dangerous. The main god thinks that it is difficult for a single team to complete the mission, so it gave us so much room to maneuver and encouraged cooperation between teams."

Having gathered the intelligence, Russell nodded and walked towards the island ahead, saying as he went, "That makes a lot of sense, but if you're so weak, how strong can your teammates be?"

Ying Yingying's forehead veins bulged as she quickly caught up. "Don't underestimate me. If my Magic Power is sufficient, I will be the strongest Reincarnator in the Main God Space!"

"The world is full of 'what ifs.' If I had the Infinity Gauntlet, I could wipe out half of all life in the universe with a snap of my the Snap, so your assumption is invalid." Russell said dismissively, then changed the subject. "Don't talk about unrealistic things. Tell me about your teammates. I don't need them to be super strong, as long as they don't drag me down, I'll consider forming an alliance."

Ying Yingying shook her head. Russell had said a lot, but not a single useful word. "You don't need to go through all this trouble to get information. I'll contact my teammates, and you can come with me."

How can I contact you?

"Give me the Space Ring!"

"Let's talk about it later!"

Russell casually remarked, then changed the subject, saying, "I have another question about Skull Island. Do you know who the Skull Island's Handsome Guy is?"

Ying Yingying was a little confused, but still answered, "The Skull Island's Handsome Guy refers to Kong, you're asking about that..."

"So the four great monsters are Godzilla, Ghidorah, and a few others?"

"Yes!"

"..."

Russell's lips twitched as he imagined a 1v4 scenario, vaguely hearing the electronic voice saying, "Player Skull Island's Handsome Guy has deleted his account."

The task's punishment is too difficult; he can't handle it. Unless Kong is truly a gorilla transformed on the night of a full moon, he should just honestly look for an exit!

The beauty of the Inner Earth World is vastly different from the outside world. Due to its unique geographical environment, the plants and animals living here are extremely heat-resistant. For example, the waterfalls cascading from the cliffs are so hot that ordinary people standing next to them would start sweating profusely, feeling no different from being in a sauna.

The two continued their journey, passing a sweltering waterfall, until they arrived at a wide plain. The ground was scorched black, with steam rising faintly; the harsh high temperatures had rendered almost all flora and fauna extinct.

The only plant was a tree-like mushroom that bloomed everywhere and covered the plain, but this plant is now dead and has become a rigid fossil.

"Jason, have you seen Journey to the Center of the Earth?" Ying Yingying asked, frowning. They had discovered many signs of human activity along the way, indicating that other Reincarnator had already gotten there before them.

"I've seen it before, and I remember it." Russell had seen some of the highlights before, but it had been so long that he had almost forgotten them.

"Since you've seen it, I'll keep it short..." Ying Yingying said bluntly, "The island we are on now is very dangerous because of its special terrain. Earthquakes occur very frequently, and large amounts of magma surge up, causing the temperature to rise sharply. If we don't want to become fossils like those we just saw, we must cross the ocean and reach another continent."

After saying that, Ying Yingying added, "The other Reincarnator didn't stay here for the same reason. What's your decision?"

"I've decided to go pee first!"

Ying Yingying: "..."

Watching Russell's departing figure, she glanced around and quickly walked to a rock. With a gentle stroke of her palm radiating Magic Power, a line of text immediately appeared on the rock's surface: left by her teammate.

On the other side, Russell leaned against the boulder, and a shadow appeared beside him—it was Jason.

Jason: (._.)

Russell chanted a spell to retrieve Jason's soul and then stuffed the body back into his Space Ring.

"Woof woof woof!"

Dust billowed as fifteen Dog Pack came running up, overjoyed to jump into Russell's arms after not seeing him for a while.
