Qin Feng smiled and said, "Given Mei Li's habit of acting outside the usual expectations, she's very likely to do so. However, rather than seeking revenge against the Han people, her troops seem more important to her. She could certainly disrupt the Han realm severely, at the cost of her entire army." Master Lei Feng remarked, "From her attitude toward her subordinates, it appears she doesn't place much importance on the flying cockroaches, but she clearly values the dragon sharks." Isabella immediately responded, "No, I think she's more concerned about the safety of her troops. Since the magical gateway was opened, only two waves of magical beings have arrived so far. This indicates that the previously established channels were unreliable; otherwise, a much larger number of magical beings would have come through." "Exactly," he agreed. "Qin Sha continued analyzing: 'With the secret establishment of forward bases by Costi, it's clear they need to build a safer route in a short time to accommodate more of their people coming to Earth. If we eliminate all of her subordinates, what would happen?' The last sentence was directed specifically at Qingya. The elegant Inspector replied without hesitation: 'Then the bases would never be established. How could Mili manage it herself? When would that even happen?' 'Exactly,' he tapped his finger. 'I believe Mili's journey to China was driven primarily by curiosity. If not for the persistent disturbances from the Liu family's official heir, and then a series of unreasonable police officials, I think she wouldn't have taken the initiative to act. Consider this—if her goal was to undermine China, why would she only bring a single dragon shark?' Qingya and Lei Feng nodded in unison, deeply acknowledging that they hadn't considered it so deeply. "So...," Qin Shao began to summarize, "as long as we make a significant move here, the magical race will promptly send out a rescue signal—Meli will certainly have to respond." The elder was deeply impressed, raising his thumb and saying, "Your analysis is sound. Then we won't wait any longer for the Chinese nation. While she's still en route, we'll launch full force against her forces, eliminating as many as we can." The female Overseer raised her hand and asked, "Qin Feng, you mentioned the forward base—where exactly is it located? Meli has been on Earth for some time now. If it's their top priority, she surely must have taken action." Qin Sha's face tightened. "This is precisely what I'm most concerned about. In fact, I've already requested the late Mr. Wei Qingtian to deploy all of China's reconnaissance satellites, and to collaborate with several other major powers to conduct a thorough surveillance of Europe and the entire world. Yet, so far, we've found nothing. Based on the timeline, their base facilities have already reached at least 60% completion. If we fail to locate them in time, we'll have to face an even greater number of demonic forces." "What should we do?" Both the beautiful Inspector and the Director expressed growing concern. With a single, already formidable demonic force of general rank proving so difficult to handle, how could we possibly manage another wave? "At this point, only two options remain," he said, extending one finger. "The first is to intensify our search for the forward base and promptly destroy it, thereby shattering the demons' scheme." He extended his second finger and said solemnly, "The second option is to act swiftly and eliminate Costi and Meili. Without these two, the magical race will be leaderless. Even if the larger, more established forces hidden in the shadows have built a solid base, what then?" Lei Feng slammed his hand on the table, "Then we'll move in parallel—my team and I will handle Meili, the female demon queen, while Qin Feng takes charge of locating and securing the forward base. Our chances of success will double." "That's exactly what I'm thinking," he nodded. With the plan settled, they immediately set out, dividing into two groups. Master Lei Feng had suffered a series of defeats under Meili's command and now urgently needed a decisive victory to regain his standing. Under his leadership, a group of over a dozen inspectors quickly located the magical creatures wreaking havoc across human cities. Costi led twenty-four large flying giant crabs, plus ten dragon sharks—his forces were strong and well-equipped. Yet, he still felt a persistent fear, one that wouldn't ease. The reason is simple—he lacks Meili's presence, and thus feels uncertain. After all, he's suffered several defeats against cultivators, and even once been severely wounded by humans who had always looked down upon him. Had it not been for his sturdy constitution and the fact that he wasn't at the epicenter of the nuclear explosion, he would have been finished long ago. Even now, his injuries have only healed to about seven-tenths. Ssssshh… Hh… An odd sound arises. Without thinking, he turns his head—almost loses his bladder. My goodness! There are already over a dozen figures on flying swords approaching, with the leader appearing particularly fierce and intimidating, as if he were truly formidable. If it had been just one cultivator, relying on numbers, he would have felt confident in facing them. But now? All he could think about was getting out of there. He shouted, "Get moving! Retreat now—don't linger in battle. Send a rescue signal to the general at once. Where is General Meiru? She must come back immediately to lend us aid, or else..." Seeing the giant beetle and the dragon shark preparing to turn around, Lei Feng called out, "Speed up and charge in! Engage them fiercely—don't let a single fish escape!" "Understood." As a dozen inspectors responded in unison, the originally neat formation began to spread out—some advancing directly, others flanking, and others specifically waiting for the captured fish to appear. The tactics had been planned en route, and everyone worked in perfect coordination. Tink… huff… boom… pffft… crack… thud… The sounds of fierce combat erupted as the large cockroaches and the dragon shark fought back fiercely. Though they held numerical superiority and were tough-skinned, their massive bodies could not match the agility of the cultivators. With such large targets, they were inevitably struck from the very beginning. She received Koshti's distress signal, stating that she had been overwhelmed by over a dozen high-level cultivators and was in a very critical condition. The beautiful magical race woman's expression shifted between worry and determination, gritting her teeth and saying, "We'll return to Europe and give the Chinese people a few more days to live."
