The Only Teammate, a Lancer!

"Xiao hope, the situation is different from what you described!"

When Russell and his party arrived at the Golden City, it was completely quiet, and they didn't see a single person.

At first, I thought Jian Feizao set up an ambush. I was on guard for a long time before I realized that I was overthinking it. There was really no one there!

"Strange, there were many reincarnation teams stationed here last time, why are they all gone?"

Russell looked at the giant pyramid at the end. "It's simple, either everyone goes into the pyramid, or everyone leaves."

"I hope it's not the second one," Ying Yingying prayed. If everyone left, it meant the ruins could only be explored once, and a second group entering would be deemed invalid, which would infinitely increase the difficulty of the mission.

"Let's go in and take a look without delay."

Fifteen Dog Pack led the way, and the group passed through the golden city. Ahead lay a wide, square open space. The pyramids were still behind the open space, with dark, gaping entrances facing them, wisps of gray mist emanating from them.

"This is the outer perimeter of the pyramid. Leave it to us. We explored it before and have experience." Duan Xinlan took out two triangular shields from her Space Ring and fastened them to her arms. When she got serious, this mature woman was quite cool. "Just a reminder, don't fly in the outer area. It will increase the difficulty."

Russell and Ying Yingying nodded, and the three girls beside them also took out their weapons. Jian Shaoxin still had a single-edged straight-bladed longsword, while Kang Xi's weapon was a red spear. Russell clicked his tongue repeatedly, thinking how bold the girl was to choose a spearman out of so many professions.

Guan Yin's weapon was the coolest. She took out Capsule Corp technology, picked one and threw it on the ground. With a bang, it transformed into a set of Iron Man Suit.

The suit is entirely painted red, with folding thrusters on the back, and fits her body perfectly when worn. The external armor is like a layer of hard muscle, protecting all vital parts such as the torso and limbs, creating a highly futuristic look.

The energy lights on her chest and palms are reminiscent of Iron Man, but the head armor is completely different. Iron Man's visor is fully enclosed, Guan Yin's visor is made of a transparent metallic material. Similar to an astronaut's helmet, it has sharp, angular lines and is extremely eye-catching.

Duan Xinlan and Guan Yin walked side by side in front, while Russell drew his twin pistols and brought up the rear, with fifteen Dog Pack following beside him.

As the group stepped into the square open space, an eerie breeze swept by, and they could vaguely hear some kind of low murmur. The ground trembled, and one by one, decaying, dark yellow skeletal arms emerged from the ground.

"Roar roar roar————"

The skeleton was wrapped in a rotting cloth, and mummies kept crawling out one after another, rapidly expanding into an army as if there was no end in sight.

A vortex of air rippled out beneath Duan Xinlan's feet as she walked at the front, and blazing red flames followed, protecting the group and igniting everything flammable around them.

The mummies swarmed in like a tide, one after another, creating a spectacular scene. But it was all just for show; they were all burned to ashes the moment they came into contact with the flames.

The low-level cannon fodder battle relied entirely on sheer numbers and posed no threat to the Reincarnator. Duan Xinlan unleashed flames, leading the group to burn a path through the fire, and soon they arrived at the pyramid cave.

A minor, but ultimately harmless, incident occurred: the Dog Pack collectively went berserk, leaping out of the protective ring of flames—flames capable of burning mummies had no effect on them. When they returned, each had a bone in its mouth, grinning and enjoying the pleasure of chewing.

Unfortunately, the Dog Pack's happiness was destined to be short-lived. After the group left the open space, all the mummies on the field turned to sand and disappeared. The Dog Pack, who were happily munching on the sand, ended up with their mouths full of it.

Ignoring the Husky's constant howling, as if their mothers had all died, the group rearranged themselves, put on their headlamps, and entered the cave entrance.

Russell was still bringing up the rear, but there was an additional person named Kang Xi, which made him feel uneasy and he had the urge to replace him.

Throughout history, spearmen have been known for their bad luck. Lin Chong, Yue Fei, Luo Cheng, and Lü Bu are all examples of this. Only Zhao Yun had the foresight to seize the Qinggang Sword at Changban Slope, temporarily changing his class to avoid being pierced by a thousand arrows.

"Hey, I feel like you're looking down on me?" Kang Xi had a keen intuition and sensed Russell's intention to distance himself, her tone slightly annoyed.

"No, you misunderstand. I just feel that we are too close. After all, men and women should not touch each other." Russell remained silent and kept a distance.

Kang Xi's lips twitched, and he shouted forward, "Vice Captain, he's discriminating against me. I demand a substitution."

Ahead, Ying Yingying and her three friends paused for two seconds, then quickened their pace and continued forward.

Kang Xi: (_)

Russell was stunned. Judging from the performance of the others, he had been tricked!

The pyramid's passageways were interconnected, and without any coordinates to guide the way, Ying Yingying didn't dare to lead the way and followed the footprints left by the previous Reincarnator.

As they walked, the footprints ahead suddenly stopped, as if the group of people had vanished into thin air.

Ying Yingying frowned. The road ahead was unpredictable and likely contained traps and mechanisms. She made a gesture to turn around and change course.

As a result, after turning around and taking only a few steps, they heard countless rustling sounds of feet rubbing against the ground, as if something was rapidly approaching.

Guan Yin looked back and saw a black tide sweeping in from behind the tunnel, with black insects the size of a baby's fist crawling rapidly. These Scarab Beetle that had appeared many times in the [Mummy] series.

The countless, densely packed creatures, the rubbing sounds of their feet against each other, seemed to tickle the heart, making one's back teeth ache.

These tiny insects are quite famous. They feed on the flesh and blood of living creatures, appearing in swarms and burrowing into the human body from various places. They devour the brain, build nests, and parasitize the human body to reproduce.

They grow at an incredibly fast rate; once a Scarab Beetle burrows into the skin, hundreds or even thousands of larvae will soon emerge.

In ancient times, Scarab Beetle were a plague; in modern society, they are definitely biological weapons!

"Disgusting bugs..." Guan Yin stretched out her arm, and four small missiles were launched from her armor. After a rapid whistling sound, the momentum of the black wave stopped.

The walls of the pyramids are made of an unknown material, and the force of the missile explosion did not damage them in the slightest, leaving only charred marks.

The sound of her feet rubbing against the ground suddenly intensified, as if Guan Yin had stirred up a hornet's nest. The number of Scarab Beetle surged, and the black tide stretched endlessly, forming waves.

"Let me do it. My flames are naturally effective against this kind of evil."

Duan Xinlan tucked her arms under her abdomen, her eyes flashing red, and suddenly threw a punch at the black tide, causing a pillar of red fire to erupt.

Under the scorching Heat Wave, the Scarab Beetle, which were preparing to feast, cried out in agony, and burst into a series of popping sounds as they were all burned to a pile of black ash.

It wasn't over yet; the tunnel walls cracked, and the black tide surged again.

"No need to waste our energy, let's go!" Ying Yingying decisively ordered, "This place is not safe to stay any longer."

Because the rear became the front, Russell and Kang Xi became the vanguard, running incredibly fast, with only dogs able to outrun them.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Behind them, Duan Xinlan and Guan Yin were clearing out the pursuing swarm of insects. With each explosion, thousands of Scarab Beetle died, but the swarm was too large, and the dead Scarab Beetle were just a drop in the ocean.

Buzzing!

With a soft sound, as if passing through an invisible barrier, Russell hurriedly stopped. There was complete silence around him. When he turned around, he found that the four women behind him had disappeared.

Ahead, even the fastest Dog Pack had vanished.

"This is..." Russell took two steps forward and reached out to grab it, but this time nothing appeared where there should have been an invisible barrier.

"The real Mirror Dimension is likely to appear randomly. Oh no, the inside of the pyramid is much larger than it looks." Kang Xi frowned and said, "The footprints that disappeared before were probably like this. We need to find a way to contact the vice-captain and the others."

Russell stood there, dumbfounded, staring at his only teammate who hadn't gotten separated from him—a rifleman!

Holy crap, why are you still here?
