The Gayad Region.
A massive Light Gate stood on the ground.
On one side of the Light Gate, seawater continuously lapped against the beach.
On the other side, there were scattered dark green tents.
The sea breeze blows, and the air is filled with the salty smell of the sea, the lingering smoke of gunpowder, and several languages.
Is this the Erosion Zone jointly defended by multiple countries?... Cao Yiyi looked at the scene in the camp with some curiosity.
The camp was filled with people of all races—yellow, white, and black—each dressed in the light blue uniforms of the Multinational Joint Forces.
As she curiously observed the camp, many of them were also watching the two newcomers with equal curiosity.
Turning his gaze away, Cao Yiyi continued to follow behind the figure who had arrived with him.
Beside her stood a figure dressed in a sharp black outfit, with short black hair and star-like eyes.
Jiang Xingwei, one of the five S-Class inspectors of the Great Xia, and the president of the Martial Arts Association.
In front of the two men stood an officer in a light blue commander's uniform, with general's stars gleaming on his epaulets.
The two followed the officer inside.
Soon, they arrived at the central tent.
The tent curtain was lifted.
Before them appeared a thin, pale-faced young man.
" Inspector Jiang, excuse me, someone from headquarters has arrived!" said the officer who led the two in.
Jiang Lin slowly raised his eyes, his gaze sweeping over the group before finally settling on Jiang Xingwei.
"Is the plan about to begin?"
Jiang Xingwei nodded, both in response and as a greeting.
Immediately, he turned his gaze to the mushroom-haired girl beside him.
Cao Yiyi and stepped forward, saying:
"Lord Jiang Lin, preparations have been almost complete for the few Erosion Zone, so you can go directly there."
"The specific details and routes have been sent to your terminal. The priority is the overseas Erosion Zone; you can take a closer look later."
Jiang Xingwei turned to Jiang Lin and said, "During this period, I will temporarily take over your defense duties here."
After a moment of silence, Jiang Lin slowly nodded. "I understand!"
As he stood up, preparing to leave, he saw Jiang Xingwei suddenly look at the short-haired girl who had come with him.
" Yiyi, you go too. For now, stay close to Jiang Lin."
"Huh? Am I going too?" Cao Yiyi's eyes widened slightly.
"Yes, let's lighten Jiang Lin's burden a bit." Jiang Xingwei nodded slightly.
Upon hearing this, Cao Yiyi opened her mouth slightly as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she slowly closed it again.
She nodded slightly and said, "I understand!"
Jiang Lin glanced at the two of them indifferently and walked out first.
Seeing this, Cao Yiyi hurriedly followed.
Just as she was about to leave the tent, she seemed to remember something and quickly turned back to remind her:
"Lord Xingwei, please be careful during this time. I'll be back as soon as possible!"
Jiang Xingwei nodded slightly, his face expressionless.
Seeing that Jiang Xingwei agreed, Cao Yiyi quickly chased after Jiang Lin.
However, before she even left the camp, she suddenly stopped.
He turned around and looked at the enormous Light Gate several kilometers away.
"Roar--"
The roar echoed between heaven and earth.
A gigantic figure, carrying countless smaller black shadows, suddenly burst out from the Light Gate.
The next moment, the sound of artillery fire suddenly erupted in the camp, accompanied by various shouts that were drowned out by the sound of the artillery.
"Quickly, prepare the ammunition!"
"Contact the enemy head-on! Suppressive fire!"
"Огоньпоцелям! Недатьимрассред..."
"Tirez les obus illumin..."
"This..." Cao Yiyi turned her head, about to say something, but saw Jiang Lin continuing to walk out as if nothing had happened.
She hesitated for a moment, glanced at the scene through the Light Gate, and finally turned and quickly followed.
The place where the group had just been staying in their tent.
Jiang Xingwei stood at the entrance of the tent, calmly watching the figure flying in.
Purple lightning flashed in his pitch-black pupils.
The next moment, a massive pillar of lightning struck the enormous figure...
"Boom, boom..."
As the sounds of artillery fire gradually subsided, Shen Heng turned his gaze to the figure rising and falling in mid-air beside him.
"It's been two days, haven't you had enough flying yet?"
"Hehehe, it'll be soon, it'll be soon!" Lü Wenrui chuckled.
In the past few days, they have encountered another horde of beasts.
The beast tide wasn't as large as the last one, but it still provided him with a few Origin Crystal.
After absorbing the Origin Crystal from both instances, he finally broke through to the Fourth Tier.
Tang Yuanyang glanced at him and said in a deep voice, "Alright, come down and recover your Origin Power. We need to go and prepare later!"
Hearing his captain say this, Lü Wenrui nodded and landed from the air.
He then closed his eyes and began breathing exercises.
Shen Heng glanced around, then focused his gaze on two areas where the sound of cannon fire was still ringing out.
Seemingly because the timeline of the plan was set, Li Daoyi notified all the inspectors stationed in the Plateau Erosion Zone of the relevant plan two days ago.
The date has been set for today.
The specific time was set at the moment when the beast tide that surged out today was completely cleared away.
Is the purpose to avoid unnecessary losses caused by too many low-level Calamity Beast?
Although the exact situation behind the Light Gate is unknown, there is no doubt that for humanity, after the surge of Calamity Beast, the area behind the Light Gate is the safest place of the day.
After all, hundreds or even thousands of them have escaped. In any case, the area behind the Light Gate should be safer than before the Calamity Beast escaped.
Of course, this safety is only relative.
But... what ability does Jiang Lin have? How can he be immune to multiple Calamity Beast?... Shen Heng lowered his eyes in slight confusion.
He still can't figure out what ability could make a person unafraid of multiple Calamity Beast of the same level.
It shouldn't have much to do with ability strength.
After all, if it were related to the strength of ability, it wouldn't be necessary for headquarters to send someone over.
Any S-Class inspector should possess considerable abilities.
Therefore, it's most likely a matter of ability.
After a long period of fruitless contemplation, Shen Heng slowly shook his head and closed his eyes to begin cultivating.
The group waited in place for about half an hour before a deep, rough voice came through their communicators.
"Everyone, converge on the Erosion Zone! The plan is about to begin!"
