350: 209 Overnight 350: 209 Overnight Unnoticed, the evening had arrived.
One by one, hunting teams erged from the Wind Thunder Restricted Zone.
The campsite beca bustling thereafter.
Fang Zhixing looked up at the sky, took a deep breath, and headed in the opposite direction.
He reached the entrance of the Restricted Area.
Fang Zhixing pulled out a long rope.
He tied one end of the rope to a tree outside and weighed it down with a large rock.
Then he entered the Restricted Area, walking forward while gradually unfurling the rope.
When he was about fifty ters away from the entrance, he stopped.
Speaking of the actual boundaries of the Restricted Area, Fang Zhixing was precisely within two ters of it at this point.
“Hmm, right here should be fine.”
Fang Zhixing tied the other end of the rope to his wrist, then found a large tree to lean against and sat down cross-legged.
Ti passed slowly.
The sky grew dark.
This darkness was overwhelming, truly pitch-black, making it impossible to see one’s fingers in front of them.
Fang Zhixing turned his head and watched as the light at the entrance gradually dimd until it completely vanished.
The endless darkness engulfed him like a tide, wrapping him up.
At that mont, Fang Zhixing felt as though he had sunk underwater, and a trace of panic rose from the depths of his heart.
That was the instinctive fear humans have of darkness.
Fang Zhixing exhaled softly, remained motionless, and slowly closed his eyes to conserve his energy.
He did not intend to sleep that night.
Surviving until morning ant success.
But soon after the darkness fell, Fang Zhixing quickly realized that the sounds around him had disappeared as well.
The world suddenly fell silent.
It was eerily quiet!
Normally, the Restricted Area should be bustling with various Mutant Beasts including birds, fish, insects, as well as thunder and lightning and strong winds, all creating chaotic noises.
However, at this mont, it was as if soone had pressed the pause button, and ti had stopped!
Fang Zhixing furrowed his brows, lifted his hand, and carefully felt the air.
He confird there was wind on his skin, and it was not weak.
But he could not hear the wind at all.
“This is really strange…”
Fang Zhixing adjusted his breathing and heartbeat, gradually blending into the environnt like a chaleon, silent as a lifeless rock.
“Zhixing~”
Suddenly, a familiar voice reached Fang Zhixing’s ears.
Fang Zhixing’s heart skipped a beat, and he abruptly opened his eyes, listening intently.
“Zhixing~”
Another call ca, clearer than the last.
“Mom?!”
Fang Zhixing’s breathing quickened.
He heard his mom calling him.
“Zhixing, mom’s chest hurts, get two painkillers.”
His mom was speaking.
Fang Zhixing listened, his brows furrowing tightly, quickly extinguishing all stray thoughts, his mind becoming still as water.
And then, the world fell silent.
His mother had passed away long ago, Fang Zhixing had seen her cremation, and her ashes were buried in the hill behind their hotown.
“Is this a hallucination?”
“How did this hallucination co about?”
Fang Zhixing’s brows knotted, a speculation arising in his mind.
At night in the Restricted Area, with no sunlight shining on it, the land or plants here might release a toxic gas.
If one breathed in this gas, it would affect their mind, and they would lose all hearing.
As he was pondering…
“Zhixing, can you hear ?
You’re not hallucinating, it’s really your mom talking to you.”
“You’re in danger right now, you need to leave this place imdiately.”
“Look to your left, they’re coming.”
His mom rambled on.
Fang Zhixing paid no attention, steadying his mind.
But the next second, a beam of light shone over from the left.
Fang Zhixing turned his head, the dazzling light blurring his vision, and he involuntarily raised his hand to shield it.
Through the gaps between his fingers, he then saw three light sources approaching.
Several hundred ters away, between the flickering shadows, three giant figures, vaguely humanoid, advanced slowly from afar.
Fang Zhixing quickly stood up, dropped to one knee, and watched intently.
“Shh-shh~ Shh-shh~~~”
Before long, Fang Zhixing heard a series of noises, similar to the white noise from an old radio.
The three giant figures were at least six ters tall, with large strides, getting closer and closer.
Fang Zhixing remained silent, rely holding the Dragon Slayer Treasure Saber, gathering strength throughout his body.
Soon, the three giant figures abruptly stopped, squatted down simultaneously, and it was unclear what they were doing.
After a mont, they stood up, turned, and headed in another direction.
Fang Zhixing gauged the distance, those three giant figures were about a hundred ters away from him.
He thought for a mont, then moved behind a tree and activated his Red Blood Pupil to watch.
At a glance, the three giant figures didn’t emit a shred of smoky aura.
Seeing this, Fang Zhixing imdiately deactivated his Red Blood Eyes.
But almost at the sa ti, the three giant figures seed to sense sothing, suddenly halted their steps, turned around again, and ca toward Fang Zhixing’s side.
In no ti, the three giant figures hastened their pace, coming closer.
Fang Zhixing lifted his head, his pupils dilating sharply.
The three giant figures, constructed with tallic shells, were clearly chas!
“Shh-shh~”
The white noise got louder, piercing the eardrum.
Suddenly, one of the chas raised its hand towards Fang Zhixing’s direction.
The other two chas spread out, one to the right and one to the left, flanking him.
The next mont, the cha on the left charged forward, its Iron Fist quickly and fiercely smashing toward Fang Zhixing.
Bang~
Dust flew everywhere!
The Iron Fist deeply embedded in the soil, creating a huge crater on the ground.
Whoosh!
From the dust, a figure suddenly burst out, leaping high into the air, nearly skyward, above the head of the cha.
