Skinwalker Belle – Chapter 283 – Coordinates of Qingmu City

The core restricted zone of the Chuanxi Base Rift.

A suppressive hum of energy permeated the air.

Zhou Ming stood amidst a pile of equipment so complex it looked like alien technology. His hands were held in a grasping motion, and the veins on his forehead bulged.

Inside his body, the bottle of Lin Fan’s concentrated Holy Water he had just drunk was still frantically replenishing his Spirit Energy. A majestic spatial power poured out of him, following his will and transforming into visible silver ripples.

Like living things, those ripples spread out in circles, precisely striking the invisible Spatial Rift in the air.

Voom!

Suddenly, a sharp tremor rang out.

A transparent, cicada-wing-thin membrane abruptly materialized in the previously empty air.

That was the “door” of the Spatial Rift.

“Locking the frequency!” Zhou Ming roared through gritted teeth, his hand movements becoming even more refined.

The silver ripples began to converge, forming an invisible awl that stabbed viciously at a specific point on the membrane.

Screee—

A faint tearing sound was heard.

A gash about the height of a person was forcibly ripped open on the membrane.

The edges of the opening were still trembling violently, threatening to heal at any moment.

“Quick! Lily!” Zhou Ming’s face was flushed, his whole body looking as if it were lifting a thousand-pound weight. “I can’t hold on for much longer!”

Lin Fan wasted no time.

With a flip of her palm, a grayish-white Space Stone appeared in it.

This item was a strategic resource plundered from the treasury of that unlucky fellow, Hu Lie.

A silver halo flowed across the surface of the Space Stone, and one could faintly see some kind of coordinate information sealed within.

“Catch,” Lin Fan said, tossing it casually.

The Space Stone traced an arc through the air, landing precisely in Zhou Ming’s hand.

Zhou Ming understood instantly.

He slammed the Space Stone against the edge of the opening, frantically pouring his spatial power into it.

Crack, crack, crack.

The silver halo on the Space Stone’s surface suddenly exploded, transforming into rays of light that spread along the edges of the opening.

Like a spider’s web, the rays of light quickly wove a stable frame.

The next second.

The twisted, chaotic spatial turbulence behind the opening suddenly fell silent.

The mist dissipated.

A clear picture appeared on the other side of the opening.

It was a wide, stone-paved street, flanked by typical medieval architecture from another world. A few beastmen guards could occasionally be seen patrolling past.

Azurewood City.

“It worked!” Zhou Ming gasped for breath, nearly collapsing to the ground.

But his eyes were filled with excitement and fervor. “Lily! The coordinates are locked! This is the Azurewood City you were talking about!”

Lin Fan squinted, looking at the opening.

She lifted her delicate little foot, clad in a white sock and a geta sandal, preparing to step through.

However.

Voom—!

The instant the tip of her foot touched the edge of the opening, a terrifying repulsive force erupted.

The originally stable portal began to tremble violently in an instant, and the edges of the opening even showed signs of collapse.

“Crap!” Zhou Ming’s expression changed drastically as he desperately tried to stabilize the spatial frame. “Lily! Your energy is too strong! This gate can’t handle it!”

Lin Fan retracted her foot with a deadpan expression.

As expected.

The portal immediately stabilized again.

She looked down at her own palm. The terrifyingly immense energy flowed quietly within her body.

The power of a level-seven.

To this portal, which could at most bear a level-five Evolved being, it was simply a devastating blow.

“It seems I won’t be able to go through for the time being,” Lin Fan chuckled, not a hint of disappointment in her tone.

She had anticipated this.

“Zhou Ming, thank you for your hard work.” Lin Fan patted his shoulder. “Take your time with the research. We’ll eventually be able to expand this broken gate.”

Zhou Ming nodded with a wry smile.

He barely had the strength to speak now.

Lin Fan turned to look at the group of people who had long been waiting behind her.

“First batch, Su Xiaoxiao.”

“Here!”

The fox-girl in a JK uniform immediately jumped out from the crowd, her fox tail swaying behind her.

Following her were a dozen or so of her fox-kin sisters, who also had Fox Ears and Tails, their expressions a mix of nervousness and excitement.

“You all go first,” Lin Fan instructed. “Azurewood City still needs you to manage things and arrange for the subsequent people coming from Blue Star.”

“Okay! Xiaoxiao guarantees the mission will be completed!” Su Xiaoxiao promised, wagging her tail.

After speaking, she led her sisters and stepped into the portal without hesitation.

“Second batch, Sun Jing.”

“Lei Jie!” Sun Jing strode forward, her face full of excitement.

Behind her were a hundred elite soldiers from Modu.

These people had all been handpicked by Chu Chen. The weakest among them was at the peak of level-three, and there were also a dozen or so level-four powerhouses.

“Remember, you’re newcomers there.” Lin Fan looked at Sun Jing, her tone uncharacteristically serious. “Do not get into conflicts with the local forces of the other world. First, establish a firm foothold in Azurewood City and wait for my orders.”

“Understood!” Sun Jing nodded forcefully.

Then, she led the hundred-person team and entered in single file.

On the other side of the portal, a large group of people was already standing on the streets of Azurewood City.

The guards of Azurewood City all showed wary expressions upon seeing these human soldiers who were clearly from another world.

However.

When they saw Su Xiaoxiao at the head of the group, their expressions softened somewhat.

Su Xiaoxiao was quite famous in Azurewood City.

Here, aside from Long Yan and Su Yue, she was the one with the most influence.

“Third batch, Ah Hu.”

“Here!”

Ah Hu grinned, revealing a set of white teeth.

Following him were the old members of Fragrant Hills International who had first followed Lei Li.

This group’s loyalty to Lin Fan was higher than anyone else’s.

“Ah Hu, after you go over, follow Su Xiaoxiao’s arrangements,” Lin Fan instructed. “Establish a firm foothold in Azurewood City. That will be our base of operations.”

“Don’t worry, Lei Jie!” Ah Hu slapped his chest. “I guarantee the mission will be completed!”

With that, he led his brothers and swaggered into the portal.

At this point.

Three batches totaling over two hundred people had all passed through the portal and arrived at Azurewood City on the Dragon Spirit Continent.

Lin Fan stood before the Rift, watching the teams that had already started to get busy on the other side, a flash of satisfaction in her eyes.

The first step was complete.

“Lily…” Zhou Ming’s weak voice came through. “I’m about to lose my grip…”

“Alright, you’ve worked hard,” Lin Fan said with a wave of her hand.

The next second.

With a hum, the portal instantly closed.

The membrane that had been opened quickly restored itself, leaving only the faint afterglow of spatial fluctuations in the air.

Zhou Ming collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

“This time… it really almost cost me my old life…”

The setting sun dyed the entire Chuanxi Plateau a golden yellow.

In the distance, the crowd was still bustling with activity, filled with laughter and cheerful voices.

The survivors who had drunk the “Holy Water” were all full of vigor, their faces beaming with a hope they had not felt since the apocalypse began.

Lin Fan stood on a high platform, overlooking it all.

She felt the dense, web-like connections of faith in her mind, and a playful arc formed on her lips.

“Next…”

She licked her lips, a cold, murderous intent flashing in her rainbow-colored eyes.

“It’s time to pay a visit to those Federation rats.”
