Chapter 720 - 346: Has Evolution Succeeded? (Part 3)
Su Jiameng pressed her lips together. Although she saw many things with the Thousand Illusion Beast Insect Imperial’s vision, it didn’t mean she could remember such a complex path! A three-dimensional maze, crisscrossed in all directions, with billions of possible routes, but only one correct exit.
Can it be said that the Thousand Illusion Beast Insect Imperial’s absorption and parasitization of so many humans wasn’t entirely useless? It actually managed to set up such a high-difficulty maze, and if one thinks along normal lines, even if you die, you won’t find the way out!
Let alone making it out before the Thousand Illusion Beast completes its evolution! It’s a damn pitfall situation! Without another word, Su Jiameng pulled out a massive, robust, jet-black weapon from her space grid and hefted it onto her shoulder. A closer look revealed it to be an enhanced version of an energy gun! Liang Xiaonuo and the others collectively twitched their mouths and took a step back!
"Jiameng, please don’t do anything rash. If this place collapses, we’ll all be trapped here..." Liang Xiaonuo kindly advised. Being ’trapped here’ was putting it nicely; the less pleasant way to put it was being buried here!

But advice was advice; she wouldn’t step forward to stop Su Jiameng’s actions. Having known this woman for so many years, Liang Xiaonuo’s deepest impression of her was not her seemingly limitless strength, but the meticulousness hidden beneath her seemingly brash exterior.
She rarely does things beyond her limits. Beneath her reckless appearance is absolute calmness, even in the most intense battles; she can keep her mind at absolute zero, not inflamed by battle nor driven to irrationality by crisis. Cui Hu often complained that she was a lunatic wrapped in the skin of a normal person.
To reach such a level might be trained over time, but Liang Xiaonuo considered herself unable to do so. Thus, the enhanced energy gun she took out must have been after careful consideration, at least not creating a blunder that would bury them all here.
Su Jiameng didn’t respond, instead adjusting the firing angle and energy compression ratio of the energy gun with incomparable calmness.
Her brain functioned like a finely-tuned machine, silently flashing through various data. Half an hour later, once she was sure of all the data, she pulled the trigger. The energy gun, already buffered, roared with a terrifying wrathful sound, carving a bright blue trail through the air, crashing with immense impact and explosive force into the three-dimensional maze!
At that moment, the entire earth trembled, rocks dislodged by the impact fell from above, accompanied by sand and gravel. The violent shaking turned their faces pale, and Su Jiameng took a step back due to the huge recoil of the energy gun, then quickly steadied herself, her legs sinking into the rock due to the force, burying her calves!
Seeing the scene she caused, a meaningful smile appeared on her lips. The maze began to collapse, large and small boulders fell, stirring up pervasive dust, making the already dim vision even more obscure.
The earth-shaking process persisted for nearly half a minute, and only then did it gradually calm down. A massive cavity appeared in front of them, with many entrances destroyed and collapsed. Without pausing, she fired two more shots, each aimed in a different direction, forcefully clearing them.
Every energy compression ratio and firing angle was calculated with precision, making it hard not to marvel that this person might actually be a sophisticated autonomous intelligent robot? Every time they thought they had figured out her limits, she always performed unexpectedly... Liang Xiaonuo could only smile wryly at this, hoping everything would go smoothly.
Three to five hours later, Su Jiameng had perfectly dismantled the entire maze, revealing the only exit. This result was undoubtedly exhilarating, and Su Jiameng’s team members continued to advance. Perhaps the Insect Imperial had too much confidence in its own setup, or perhaps there wasn’t enough time, for apart from the previous two obstacles, they encountered no further hindrances; their journey was incredibly smooth!
This should be the destination... Su Jiameng and the others saw a sudden, open view, furrowed their brows, abandoned their vehicles, and turned to piloting mechas. To conserve space, they transformed the mechas into their smallest humanoid form! Yet, given the sheer size of the Military Fortress, even in humanoid form, it remained gigantic enough to dislodge rocks with each step.
