The group learns their assigned garrison post is a dangerous front-line territory bordering multiple enemy races. Initially angered by this seemingly unfair assignment, Zhao Tianlei discovers it was his father's deliberate plan to temper them. Accepting the challenge, Ning Qi and the others prepare to depart for the perilous location.

“For now, don’t worry about how far it is; we’re almost there.”

Ning Qi looked ahead and pointed in the direction of the insect hole.

This entrance was much larger than any he had visited before.

Moreover, there were countless entrances, clearly leading to different areas.

“Master, if they teleport troops here, it’ll be incredibly quick.”

“With so many openings, transmitting to the ends of the earth is just a blink away.”

“No wonder they’re everywhere; they seem to specialize in managing insect holes.”

Medicine Spirit gazed at the insect hole ahead and couldn’t help but sigh in awe.

“Hmm, you’re right.”

“They probably do use insect holes for teleportation.”

“Furthermore, their insect hole barriers are stronger than ours.”

“This means that even in the hostile Sea of Realms, they can protect everyone within.”

Ning Qi agreed deeply and said.

“Master, if we also mastered this ability, it would be much better.”

“If we want to go anywhere, just create an insect hole.”

Medicine Spirit said admiringly.

“It’s difficult; I’m sure it requires a lot of resources, especially constraints on human strength.”

“I’m afraid the minimum strength required to create such a strong insect hole is Daluo Golden Immortal Peak.”

Ning Qi followed up with an analysis.

While they were analyzing, they unknowingly arrived at one entrance.

“Is it this one?”

Zhao Zhirou looked ahead and turned to ask.

“Yes, the compass shows, it’s here.”

Zhao Tianlei nodded, then waved: “Order the entire team to depart!”

“Yes!”

“…”

With a word from him, the people behind him responded one after another.

Their team then started to head towards the insect hole.

“Zhao Tianlei, where are you guys going?”

Xu Xiaoran saw them heading over and couldn’t help but ask curiously.

“Can’t you see?”

Zhao Tianlei said irritably.

“I see; this is the area leading to the border.”

“Usually, only those second-rate families go to such places.”

“You’re not going there because you forgot to send a gift to the marshal, are you?”

Xu Xiaoran mocked them repeatedly as he looked at them.

“You’re talking nonsense!”

Zhao Zhirou couldn’t take it anymore and said directly: “You think we’re just like you, hiding here for peace? We’re going to train and face real danger.”

“Oh, is it voluntary or forced?”

Xu Xiaoran heard her say that and didn’t get angry; instead, he started to sneer.

“That’s none of your business.”

Zhao Tianlei glared at him and said irritably.

“I think this place is interesting.”

“We also plan to go there.”

At this moment, Xu Shijie suddenly brought a team over.

They’re heading in the same direction, just towards another entrance.

It was clear that they’re also heading to this border area.

“You guys are crazy too.”

Xu Xiaoran frowned as he watched them go as well.

His mind starting to doubt.

If a single force goes, it can be understood.

But if two families are going, there’s definitely something going on.

Could it be, there’s really treasure emerging inside?

“Ignore him, let’s go.”

Xu Wanrou also brought a team over, then joined forces with them.

“Brother Zhao, we’re heading in the same direction; we might even be very close.”

Xu Shijie said to Zhao Tianlei from afar on the deck.

“Heading in this direction, we won’t go far.”

“If there’s anything needed, feel free to ask.”

Zhao Tianlei said with a smile.

Having someone familiar to guard the same region gives an extra helping hand.

“Good, then we’ll go ahead.”

Xu Shijie cupped his fists, then took his team to leave.

Although they were heading in the same direction, there were countless openings at the insect hole entrance.

“Let’s go too.”

Zhao Tianlei also waved his hand, and the speed of the team suddenly increased.

Soon, they reached an entrance to the insect hole.

“Whoosh!”

“…”

Their team surged forth, bounding ahead grandly.

Ning Qi stood on the deck, watching everything in front of him, with a glint flashing in his eyes.

The insect hole ahead, with solid barriers, allowed their fleet to pass through without causing any ripples.

Thus, they kept traversing back and forth in the insect hole channel.

Occasionally encountering forks, Zhao Tianlei would take out the compass to accurately find their path and continue on.

Feeling bored, Ning Qi returned to the cabin to rest.

Unknowingly, someone came and knocked on the door.

“Master Ning.”

Zhao Zhirou’s voice came from outside the door.

“Miss Zhao.”

Ning Qi got up and came to the door.

“We’re about to arrive.”

Zhao Zhirou said solemnly: “Let’s go out and have a look.”

“Alright.”

Ning Qi agreed without saying much, then left with her.

Soon they reached the deck.

There were already many people waiting here.

After Ning Qi walked over, he naturally looked ahead.

It was a vast stretch of continental fragments, some with mountains and rivers on them.

Others had volcanoes and Gobi Deserts.

Some were riddled with holes, some connecting several pieces together.

Varying in size, lying unevenly.

Forming a unique void environment.

“These are remnants from the Inner Realm, shattered and drifting here.”

Zhao Tianlei came over and said: “This is where we’ll be stationed.”

“Right here? There’s no clear boundary.”

“How are we supposed to defend?”

Ning Qi looked around and couldn’t help but ask.

“We’ll have to station people at strategic points.”

“We first need to explore here, see where other races are located.”
