He did not die from the attack of the alien beast, but from some invisible and intangible threat.

After all, if there were already alien beasts, they would have encountered them long ago, and they wouldn't have been stuck for such a long time without encountering one. Everyone knew this.

Lilith never doubted Qin Jiu's human identity, even though she didn't seem like an ordinary human in many things...

But this time, she really saw Qin Jiu's inhuman side. She wanted to turn a blind eye, but she couldn't help but say: "What on earth are you..."

She uttered three words dryly, and didn't know how to continue. After a long time, she finally sighed and said, "I know you have a secret. If you don't want to tell me, I won't ask. We will listen to you and go back."

No one objected to Lilith's decision. They were about to turn around and leave, but Qin Jiu seemed to be frozen in place, unable to move.

Several people turned back curiously, only to hear Qin Jiu's voice firmly and slowly say, "You go back."

"You guys?" Lilith paused in her tracks after catching Qin Jiu's implication. She frowned and asked, "You're not leaving?"

Qin Jiu nodded, as calmly as if she was explaining what she had for breakfast today. She said, "I'm not leaving."

"No, let's go together." Gu Zheng stepped forward and stood in front of Qin Jiu.

Although he had had some unpleasantness with Qin Jiu because of his mother's affairs, he had already forgotten that little awkwardness. The fact that Qin Jiu was their good friend would never change.

She was seeking her own death, and they were the first to object.

"No." Qin Jiu tried to block out the noise in her ears. She said, "I can go and stop it all."

She scanned their incredulous faces and continued, "There are some things I can't tell you for now, but please believe me, I will come back alive. And..." She pointed to the hurricane still circling in the sky, "Aren't they still there?"

This reason was too far-fetched, and Li Tong and Ping An did not agree. Just when they thought that Gu Zheng and Lilith, who regarded Qin Jiu as extremely important, would never allow Qin Jiu to commit suicide, they nodded heavily after a long silence.

"Although I know that I shouldn't agree to your request, you are our vice president, right?" Lilith chuckled and continued, "I believe our vice president. If you promised us that we would come back safe and sound, you must keep your word!"

This was the first time that Lilith called her vice president. A hint of surprise flashed in Qin Jiu's red eyes, but she quickly hid it deeply.

"it is good."

She responded and walked forward alone under the gaze of everyone. She only left a lonely back figure to everyone and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

She was like a retrograde, rushing to the front line of the crisis and guarding the lights of thousands of homes behind her.

Gu Zheng retracted his gaze from the direction where Qin Jiu disappeared and asked, "Should we wait for her here?"

Lilith shook her head and said, "We have other things to do."

"what?"

"Let the others who are rushing over stay where they are."

"But..." Gu Zheng thought for a moment and said, "They can't possibly be willing to listen to us, right?"

Lilith suddenly gave a sly smile. Although her terminal had stopped working and could only open a start page, all functions that required an internet connection were unavailable.

But Gu Zheng clearly saw a letter of authorization on her terminal page, with Lilith's name written on it.

The content of the commission was also simple - during the Xirang Star operation, Lilith would become the commander-in-chief of the Beast Taming Army.

Gu Zheng was stunned for a moment and asked, "How did you get it?"

"Jin Cheng sent this message to me after I contacted him just now. Although I don't know why he did this, it seems that he is still far-sighted!" Lilith rarely praised Jin Cheng. On their way back, whenever she saw someone heading towards the wormhole, she would use this identity to persuade them to leave.

Of course, not everyone was willing to listen to Lilith. Lilith did not try to stop them. After all, she had done everything she could, and the rest was up to fate.

*

After separating from the others, Qin Jiu walked towards the wormhole step by step.

If she hadn't picked up a branch from the ground to support herself, she would hardly have been able to move forward normally.

Her eyes were bloodshot and she could see distorted images; there was a roar in her ears and she could hear sounds that shouldn't exist; her brain felt like it was being pricked by needles and was in constant pain.

She was hallucinating and couldn't even tell the difference between reality and fantasy.

Qin Jiu was walking forward with the help of a tree branch when she was suddenly tripped by something and fell to the ground.

She looked back and saw several people lying on the ground. They were motionless and she didn't know whether they were dead or alive.

Just like what Qin Jiu just said, if you go forward you will die.

After Qin Jiu's eyes were covered with a layer of blood-red filter, he could see things that others could not see.

She slowly raised her head. There was a membrane between her and the sky, which enclosed the space in the shape of a hemisphere with a huge diameter.

Just now, Lilith and the others were standing at the edge of the sphere, and they were only one step away from stepping into it. Anyone who entered this area that they could not see would be eroded to varying degrees.

This gave Qin Jiu a sense of déjà vu. It seemed to work in the same way as Vina's gem. It absorbed human vitality and soul as food to provide energy for their core.

This space will continuously drain the vitality of human beings, so Qin Jiu said that you will die if you come in.

Those people on the ground are slowly losing their vitality. Maybe they are still alive now, but it’s hard to say in a while...

What is its core? Qin Jiu instantly got the answer -

Little white ball!

The little white ball may have evolved to the point where it no longer needs her nutrients to grow, but can instead hunt and develop itself.

There is no essential difference between its food and that of the alien beasts - they are all humans!

But Qin Jiu is special.

She had a hunch that the little white ball would not attack her, and she could even sense a strange sense of closeness and kindness.

Although she didn't know where this strange feeling came from, she still believed in her own judgment, took part in the game, and stepped into this space.

As she expected, the little white ball did not attack her. The source of her pain was not entirely the loss of vitality, but the bizarre hallucinations that gradually reduced her mental strength.

Qin Jiu was about to get up, but in her sight, the ground beneath her was twisting and deforming, as if lava was rolling, making it impossible for her to start.

Is this an illusion? I was walking on a hard floor just now...

But... was it really an illusion? She seemed to feel the heat coming from the front, and if she wasn't careful, she would be swallowed into the rock...

Just as she stood still, two war beasts suddenly appeared in front of her.

In the chaotic scene, only their figures are so clearly visible.

It was like her guiding light.

"Ball, meteor..."
