The next morning.

"Master!"

A burst of hurried footsteps came closer and closer, and then the bedroom door was kicked open.

Zhao Ruxing rushed in, his face full of excitement.

"Master, that strange beast girl has woken up!"

Inside the headquarters, the mysterious girl was sitting on the bed with a calm expression.

Liu Wenli and Gu Mou stood on her left and right, looking alert.

Hearing the footsteps, the girl raised her head and happened to see Bai Ming walking in through the door.

"You're awake." Bai Ming said lightly.

The girl nodded and looked at him with complicated eyes.

"My name is Amy. I chose this name myself."

She suddenly spoke, her voice clear and ethereal.

"I know what you want to ask. As for my background, I don't remember it very clearly..."

Amy murmured, a hint of confusion in her eyes.

"I only remember that before I met you, I was always wandering in the sea. It was cold, lonely, and I had no place to belong."

"It was not until I devoured your flesh and blood that I gained extraordinary strength and wisdom. It was also from that time that I began to look for your trace."

"I know that strange beasts are causing trouble on this continent, and humans are suffering. I want to repay your kindness, so I helped you at the critical moment."

Amy said sincerely, with a frank look in her eyes.

"Although I come from an alien beast, I will never harm humans. On the contrary, I want to help you resist the invasion of alien beasts together."

Bai Ming listened in silence, his brows furrowed.

After a while, he slowly spoke:

"I believe what you said. But I need a proof."

"Proof?" Amy blinked.

"That's right." Bai Ming nodded, "I want to make sure that you are truly helping humans and not having any other intentions."

"I need you to prove to me that you have the sincerity and determination to do this."

Amy was lost in thought, seemingly weighing the pros and cons.

After a long time, she raised her head with a firm look in her eyes.

"I understand. I can be your guide and take you to a strange beast's lair."

"There are the secrets of their evolution and their most fatal weaknesses. This information is extremely important to you, right?"

Bai Ming looked at everyone, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

"You're right." Bai Ming stared at her, "This is indeed a good opportunity to prove your sincerity."

"But before that, I want to remind you something."

His eyes were stern and his tone was grim.

"If you dare to play any tricks, don't blame me for being rude. Humans will not be bullied by you!"

Amy smiled, undaunted.

"Don't worry, since I chose to help you, there is no need to lie. Besides..."

She suddenly approached Bai Ming and whispered in his ear:

"I can't bear to harm my savior."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Ming felt his ears getting hot and he quickly turned his face away.

"Ahem, it's getting late, let's set off as soon as possible."

He said it a little awkwardly, keeping his distance unnoticeably.

Liu Wenli and Gu Mou looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"Then... let me decide the candidate." Gu Mou was the first to break the silence.

"Besides the two of us and Bai Ming, Huo Shan and Huang Quan are also going. In addition..."

He glanced at Zhao Ruxing who was peeking out of the door and said with a smile:

"Zhao Ruxing and Mengli should follow too. It's time for them to go out and gain experience."

"That's great!" Zhao Ruxing shouted excitedly when he heard it.

"Master, rest assured, I will follow your teachings and will not embarrass you!"

Mengli also nodded with a smile.

"Please give me more guidance in the future, Brother Bai Ming."

Bai Ming shook his head helplessly, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

"Enough of you two, you've been so dishonest all day long."

He pretended to be angry, but his eyes were full of doting.

"Okay, let's not delay any further. Let's pack up and leave as soon as possible."

......

Gumo Town.

This is a small town on the border of China, inconspicuous but very lively.

Surprisingly, there are no decent copies nearby, just a few level one copies scattered around.

There were even fewer exotic beasts, and they were in groups of three or two, looking very leisurely.

"This is it."

Amy pointed to a barren mountain in the distance with a serious look on her face.

"That is the entrance to a strange beast's lair. This is what I sensed after I came ashore."

"It seems that they don't need to enter the dungeon. They have created a territory on their own, or you could call it a nest."

Everyone looked at each other, with a solemn look in their eyes.

"He's hiding so close to us. We're really hard to guard against him." Liu Wenli exclaimed.

"So we must find out the truth as soon as possible to avoid any more trouble." Bai Ming said in a deep voice.

The group asked around in the town and soon found an inn to stay.

"Ah~ I can finally have a good night's rest." Zhao Ruxing stretched and sat down on the bed.

"Since we're entering the lair tomorrow, should we have a war meeting tonight?"

"That's right." Bai Ming nodded.

"Everyone take a break and meet in my room after dinner."

Everyone took the order and went back to their rooms to prepare.

At dinner time, the small room was packed with people.

In addition to the group of people, even Zhao Ruxing and Mengli participated with great interest.

"From the clues provided by Amy, the evolution of strange beasts is related to the food chain." Bai Ming went straight to the point.

"They gain strength and wisdom by devouring the strong. It can be said to be a game of life and death."

"According to this logic, the strength of the beasts in this 'nest' is inestimable. I can only guess that they should be level five or six, and I don't even rule out the existence of higher levels."

"Higher level?!"

Everyone gasped and looked at each other.

Even the most powerful human beings have not yet reached a higher level. If the alien beasts break through to that level... the consequences are unimaginable!

"So we must be extra cautious in this operation." Bai Ming looked around at everyone and spoke in a serious tone.

"Wen Li, Huo Shan, you two will be responsible for covering the rear and protecting everyone."

Liu Wenli and Huo Shan nodded in agreement.

"Gu Mou, Huang Quan, you guys focus on dealing with the high-level monsters. Try to hold them back and buy me some time."

"Don't worry." Gu Mou patted his chest.

"Um, Brother Bai Ming, what about us?" Mengli raised her hand timidly.

Bai Ming looked at the two little guys who were full of longing and felt at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"You guys, just follow Huang Quan and follow her instructions."

"Also, if the situation gets bad, evacuate immediately, understand?"

"clear!"

Zhao Ruxing and Mengli nodded vigorously.

"Okay, in addition to the division of labor, let's review our respective skills so that we won't fail at the critical moment."

Everyone talked to each other and soon they mastered the skills thoroughly.

"Okay, we'll set off early tomorrow morning, so everyone should get some rest."

Bai Ming announced the end of the meeting and stood up to see the guests off.

After everyone left, only silence remained in the room.

"Hey..."

He sighed and rubbed his temple.

"I didn't expect things to become so tricky. But no matter what, we must win this battle!"

Bai Ming slowly clenched his fists.

As for what will happen tomorrow...

No one can tell.
