Chapter 109: Ambush Tang Zichen? Eat My Fist First!
The terrifying corrosiveness made Tang Zichen frown.
In fact, with Tang Zichen's current strength, dealing with these aliens wasn't difficult. However, the corrosive blood was too troublesome. Even a little contact could lead to a major disaster.
"Squad Leader, can your telekinesis block the monster's blood?" Chen Ye suddenly asked.
Tang Zichen nodded, "Of course, telekinesis is formless. No matter how corrosive the monster's blood is, it can't corrode the air."
"Great!" Chen Ye smiled, "Then I'll handle killing the monsters. You just need to use your telekinesis to create a barrier to block their blood and keep that corrosive stuff off me."
Tang Zichen had no objections to Chen Ye's arrangement and nodded obediently. She had seen firsthand how terrifying this man's fists were! The destructive power of his punch wind alone rivaled her telekinesis.

Meanwhile, others involved in this secret realm adventure were also encountering monsters. Initially, most people ran into facehuggers. With their strength, as long as they were careful, the facehuggers posed little threat. Only a few unlucky ones ended up in a messy situation after accidentally getting some of the facehugger's blood on them.
At this moment, two young white men had just killed a facehugger and were chatting.
"Ugh! Disgusting bug... Jamie, will that woman really come?"
"Don't worry! If she wants to become stronger, she won't back down."
"But the map is so big. Where do we go to find that woman from the Xia Country?"
"To the mountains!"
"What? Are you crazy? That's the monster's lair, incredibly dangerous!"
"Hey, buddy, listen... I've studied that woman named Tang over the past few days. She's a proud person. If she's in this secret realm, her goal will definitely be the Alien Queen! We have to go to the mountains if we want to encounter her."
"But..."
"Don't worry, buddy, trust me. If we can kill that woman, twenty billion dollars will be enough for us to live like kings for the rest of our lives."
"Okay, this is really a crazy plan!"
There were quite a few people with similar thoughts. Many headed toward the mountains, all targeting the twenty billion dollar bounty.

Half an hour later.
Chen Ye, looking at the mountain which still seemed as far as it did earlier, suddenly remembered a saying: "Looking at the mountain will tire the horse."
It didn't seem far. Yet after walking for half an hour, they had probably not even covered a tenth of the distance. At this rate, it would take hours to reach the foot of the mountain! Chen Ye had no interest in spending several hours just walking.
"Squad Leader, this is too slow... let me carry you!"
Tang Zichen also thought it was slow. Hearing this, she didn't hesitate and climbed onto Chen Ye's back.
Chen Ye immediately felt a refreshing fragrance, which invigorated him. For Tang Zichen, this was her first time being so close to a man. Although her mindset was different from other girls, she was still a young woman. Whether it was Chen Ye's broad shoulders or his scent, everything made Tang Zichen's heart race.
The girl weighed only about a hundred pounds, which was nothing to Chen Ye. He hooked his arms around her legs, finding them long, straight, and very resilient.
"Squad Leader, hold on tight! If you feel uncomfortable, just let me know."
With those words, Chen Ye started running, his speed akin to a gust of wind. And that was with him deliberately controlling his speed to ensure Tang Zichen could handle the wind resistance.
Another half hour passed.
Chen Ye finally brought Tang Zichen to the foot of the mountain. Along the way, they encountered many monsters but ignored them. Naturally, the aliens couldn't keep up with Chen Ye's speed.
"We're here!"
Chen Ye set Tang Zichen down, noticing her face was flushed and radiant.
"Squad Leader, why is your face so red? Is it the wind? Did I run too fast?"
"I'm fine... let's find the monster's lair."
Chen Ye looked at the mountain before them, "This mountain is huge! Squad Leader, did Teacher Liu mention where the monster's lair is?"
"He only said it's in the mountain's interior," Tang Zichen frowned, "No one knows the exact location because everyone who knew is dead."
Chen Ye suggested, "Then let's search. If we encounter monsters, you just need to injure them, Squad Leader. If the monsters flee, we follow them. Maybe they'll lead us to the lair."
Another method was to let the aliens capture them, which might lead them to the lair. But that was too unreliable and risky. Chen Ye wouldn't gamble with his life.
"I understand," Tang Zichen nodded.
The two then headed up the mountain.
---
Meanwhile.
On the mountainside.
A person was observing Tang Zichen and Chen Ye through binoculars. This person was experienced and knew that Tang Zichen had high mental attributes, so he kept his gaze calm and neutral, showing no hint of malice to avoid detection.
After putting down the binoculars, his expression changed. He quickly and cautiously moved to a large rock on the mountainside, where five other people were waiting.
"They've arrived, Nick. You were right, that woman's target really is the Alien Queen!"
A young Asian man laughed, "Maybe we won't even need to make a move. She could get killed by the monsters, and we'll get an easy payday."
The scout who spoke earlier said, "Han, there's something odd. That woman's companion runs extremely fast, with agility at least over 300, and he was carrying Tang while running."
"Is it that bald guy?" a black man asked.
"Yes, it's him!"
"Then it makes sense. After all, Tang got the Soft Rice Boy three extra rewards. With at least 450 potential points, he might have put all the points into agility after the last embarrassing incident to escape."
Everyone laughed.
"What a waste of potential!"
"So stupid. Even an ordinary person with that much potential could become a third-tier expert with proper distribution."
The scout didn't laugh. He felt something was off about the bald guy.
"Nick, what should we do now? Stick to the original plan?" he asked.
A burly bald man stood up and said, "Since her companion is still the Soft Rice Boy, we stick to the plan. We first control the Soft Rice Boy to force Tang to comply!"
"I heard her power is close to a fourth-tier. With the special nature of telekinesis, we should treat her as a fourth-tier target. We have no chance in a direct confrontation!"
"Russell, use the sniper rifle to distract her and try to separate them."
"No problem," a black man named Russell responded.
Nick then looked at a strong woman, "Antie, you cover Russell's retreat."
She smiled, "I guarantee Russell will be safe."
Nick nodded, "The rest will surround the Soft Rice Boy. Don't let him escape."
"And if there are any special circumstances, report immediately... Remember, we are family!"
When Nick shouted "family," everyone responded with enthusiasm. Then they moved quickly into action. It was clear that their weapons were not intended for monsters.
The scout asked Nick, "We're acting now without waiting for Tej and the others?"
"We don't have time," Nick replied. "Their teleportation point is too far. It would take hours for them to get here."
"There are many after the twenty billion dollar bounty. We must act fast."

The mountain was enormous. Finding the entrance to the monster's lair was not easy unless they were extremely lucky.
After more than ten minutes, Chen Ye grew impatient and thought about using brute force to break through the mountain.
"This is strange. Didn't the teacher say there would be more monsters the closer we got to the mountain?" Tang Zichen frowned. "Why are we only encountering these crawlers and no real monsters?"
Chen Ye frowned too. In the past ten minutes, they had encountered many facehuggers. The presence of so many facehuggers indicated that the alien lair was indeed in the mountain.
So, where were the actual aliens?
With these doubts, they continued searching.
Suddenly, Tang Zichen stopped, and green light shone from her body.
"Whoosh!"
A sniper bullet shot from the mountainside but was frozen in mid-air by Tang Zichen's telekinesis.
This was the advantage of high mental attributes—being able to sense danger.
With increased mental strength, Tang Zichen could eventually reach a level where she could sense and avoid danger beforehand, making assassination attempts nearly impossible.
"There's an enemy!" Tang Zichen alerted. "More than one."
Another sniper bullet shot through the air but was also stopped by her telekinesis, floating mid-air. It looked amazing.
Clearly, the enemy knew Tang Zichen's abilities and was trying to distract her.
"Squad Leader, it seems they want to lure you away and capture me first," Chen Ye laughed. "Why not grant them their wish?"
Tang Zichen understood immediately, "You want to draw the rest out?"
Seeing Chen Ye nod, Tang Zichen agreed, "Alright!"
She considered warning Chen Ye to be careful but thought the enemies should be the ones worried about him.
Tang Zichen then chased the sniper's direction, and Chen Ye followed at a steady pace.
A moment later, a burly bald man suddenly lunged at Chen Ye from the nearby woods.
