Bai Yaoyao battled the Eight-Headed Serpent, retreating to her space to question Ji Wujing before returning with a plan to attack alongside her companions and Beasts. As the serpent’s attacks weakened and the seawater receded, she brought the Dark Night team and Master out to join the fight.

• Bai Yaoyao severed one of the Eight-Headed Serpent’s heads and stored the pieces, then returned to her space to recover and question Ji Wujing.

• Peiqi asked Ji Wujing about Experiment Subject No. 799, and his reaction revealed that the secret project existed.
• Peiqi gleaned only a few clues from Ji Wujing, so Bai Yaoyao said she would use an unused technique from her level-nine mind ability.

Bai Yaoyao learned that Test Subject 799 was an intelligent, rapidly reproducing immortal Mutant Rat, while Long Zhan arranged for his rescued companions to join Dark Night Base. After resting, Bai Yaoyao led Dark Night to inspect S City and headed toward the Ji Family’s warehouse, where most supplies had been ruined.
