Chapter 1370: Chapter 1370

1370: Chapter 1356: Saintess of the Demonic Region 1370: Chapter 1356: Saintess of the Demonic Region Black snow covered the earth, the air dense with the smell of radiation—gray, black snow equally seized the lives of all.

Ruins, severed limbs, and the overwhelming sense of despair and silence enveloped the place; had it not been for the lack of appropriate screams, Lu Ping’an might have suspected he had transcended into another “Otherworld.”

Lu Ping’an opened his palm, the black snow quickly melted, but he felt a slight sensation of erosion in his palm.

“If it were a Mortal, they probably wouldn’t even have bones left…”

Lu Ping’an opened his eyes, this wasn’t a scene that belonged to this world, nor did these buildings match the style of the Red Star Republic; it seemed as if something with its own “world” had invaded here.

“Maybe others were the residents here….this place hasn’t had human inhabitants for at least fifty years.”

Big Cat’s words reminded Lu Ping’an, and his eyes gave him the most real feedback.

Before him undoubtedly was a “landscape of the Exotic Realm,” but due to the erosion being too long and strong, it had turned into reality, and it would require a tremendous amount of power to forcibly convert the scenery of the homeland into an existence in the Exotic Realm.

“…either an uncontrollable dangerous item or a lunatic who has lost their sanity, both are at least Rule-level, which do you like?”

Neither seemed to be a good answer.

Lu Ping’an flipped through the military map purchased from the Red Star’s side…ugh, it was entirely blank, as expected it was completely unreliable.

And the sudden buzzing sound seemed to indicate why this place had become a forbidden zone of life.

Suddenly, a large swath of snow overturned, and several six-eyed sinister Magic Monsters crawled out.

Their structure was similar to spiders, combined with their massive size, which was unsettling…but any insect with extra legs always reminded one of spiders.

Their sizes varied, but even the smallest juvenile exceeded the size of a normal car, while the largest “insect” reminded Lu Ping’an of a small building.

“Uh, what do they eat in this ice and snow?

How do they survive?”

A Mortal’s nightmare, yet it only made Lu Ping’an stroke his chin in surprise at the local Biological Chain situation.

Such a size of Demons, even if they were Extraordinary Beings, there was no reason for them to be able to easily fill their bellies and reproduce such a large Ethnic group in this icy and snowy environment.

“…..you finally have the look of a Life system.”

And there, Big Cat, far from finding it strange, even seemed a bit relieved.

“I’ll guess for a moment, there are four most likely possibilities; one is being in a long-term dormant state, but look at their limbs, they are full of moisture…”

Lu Ping’an showed a strange expression, he was just casually making a remark, and on the other side, they started lecturing him directly.

“Cough, let’s focus on the task, this creature’s level is not low…”

While Lu Ping’an was still babbling, the “Spider swarm” had already initiated an attack.

Rare meat was right before their eyes, the ravenous demons swarmed towards it, spewing breath that easily eroded the earth and the surrounding damaged buildings.

The youth disappeared from the spot, and in the next moment, he was already standing on top of the largest demon.

He stood on the giant creature, a faint golden Flame underfoot…the next moment, he furrowed his brow, the low temperature was significantly weakening his Runner Department Profession, which sped up by using flames.

“…I really did encounter the least friendly environment for me.”

“Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!”

The monster issued a cry like a woman’s scream, and at the same time, bizarre human faces appeared on each of its six limbs.

The chorus of sound waves continued, that was the Banshee’s wail that could directly kill a Mortal, yet Lu Ping’an seemed completely unaffected.

Small creatures began to climb onto the “mother” in an attempt to deal with this trouble…

“Can’t even sense strengths or weaknesses?”

At this moment, Lu Ping’an no longer concealed his “Power,” as either tangible or deadly force pressed down, the building-sized creature screamed in agony.

However, the beast swarm had no perception at all, not even a trace of fear…and on Lu Ping’an’s “War Flag,” hung several heads of Rule-level.

“…..no sense of fear?”

Lu Ping’an was somewhat puzzled, “Fear” or “caution” were traits that most different-dimension Life forms possessed, they were a universal instinct for the continuation of life.

Accompanied by a sky full of fireworks, Lu Ping’an fell like a meteor.

The center of the creature was pierced, high temperatures directly burned its flesh, instantly turning it into ashes.

The vines spread out, preying on its flesh while simultaneously collecting genetic samples, and when Lu momentarily landed, all that remained in the original spot was the gruesomely dismembered monster.

Even so, the monster that continued to scream had not died.

It tried to look back, its six eyes suddenly filled with hatred.

This aroused even more interest in Lu Ping’an; the vitality of such creatures seemed quite impressive.

Facing the beast swarm that had already gathered around, Lu Ping’an merely pointed gently towards the sky.

A towering Big Tree silently stood there, and countless blood-colored vines suddenly swooped down.

The battle happened quickly, but when Lu put in a bit more effort, it ended even faster.

With the Bloodvine along with Lu Ping’an’s personal intervention, there wasn’t much to describe in the process.

“No eggs or larvae, even the juveniles are just miniature replicas of the large adult form, which is rare in the world of insects… Uh, can this even be considered an insect?”

Among a group of demons bound by vines and being drained of blood, Lu Ping’an and a few researchers in “space suits” began to collect samples to examine the situation.

It’s worth mentioning that the temperature here had already reached -47 degrees, and the actual feeling was even more outrageous.

The extraordinary low temperature could freeze the soul; low-level professionals could hardly breathe here.

“…Lu Ping’an, this isn’t a life form, or rather, it’s not a normal life form.”

This time, Chris was the first to present the findings.

Dressed in an adult’s white lab coat, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and still less than 1.4 meters tall… uh, that upward-looking gaze always gave Lu a subtle feeling of guilt.

“…Uh, I’m listening.”

Chris glared at him irritably before continuing to explain.

“This isn’t a complete life form, to be precise, they are just…

something like fungal spores.”

Now, this was getting interesting.

If the split bodies were this enormous, how outrageous would the main body be?

Taking a city as a reference point, the Secret Realm wasn’t large, and soon, Lu Ping’an found the very center of the Secret Realm, or what might also be called the body of the “Otherworld.”

But just at a glance, Lu felt something was off.

He had expected to see a super gigantic creature, whether it was an insect, an animal, or even a strange mushroom tree; he could understand any of those.

Instead, he saw a creature that looked like a female, even smaller in size than him, covering her face and crying.

Just this faint sound of crying pierced the heart with sorrow.

The woman, draped in white gauze, was alone, crouched in the ruins crying, which looked undeniably wrong.

“Should we approach?”

Whether it was the instinct of spirituality or various equipment detecting contaminated fluctuations, all pointed at this being, yet Lu hesitated.

He felt that if he got any closer…

And as Lu prepared to investigate, an even more bizarre scene unfolded.

Out of nowhere, those Magic Monsters he had seen earlier reappeared, and the moment they appeared, they immediately attacked the woman.

Normally, one might have intervened to help, but this time, Lu hesitated.

He silently observed, waiting for changes to happen…

but the anticipated scenario of a “Big Shot” wreaking havoc didn’t occur; instead, the woman was caught by the monsters, torn apart, devoured, and consumed.

Not only did she die a horrible death, but her screams were also of utter despair.

“Is she just dead like that, Meow?

That’s unscientific, Meow?!”

The cat assigned as a Scout was itching to move, but Lu Ping’an stopped her.

He continued watching, waiting…

suddenly, in a blink, the world changed again.

The woman reappeared, still crying, while the damaged scene and buildings during the chase were restored to their original state.

The monsters vanished without a trace, perhaps lurking beneath the snow or in the shadows as before, but observing that seemingly helpless woman, no one dared to overlook her again.

If Lu Ping’an had the ability to access the files of the highest threat level of the Red Star Republic’s professional management department, he would find her name…
