"Because there was an indigenous ancient tree next to the field, that empty space was known as 'The Great Tree Field,' and the league was called 'The Great Tree League.' After the construction was completed, those workers moved on to new planets and new cities to make a living, and the field beca desolate. Historically, many rchants had their eyes set on this land, wanting to develop it, but as luck would have it, various accidents would occur. Later on, when the 'Divine Poison' ford, this land was trapped between the 'Divine Poison' and the Peace Ring, which of course made it even less attractive."
As the gorilla walked, he rambled on about this history, and only at the end did he answer Chen Gu's question. "A few years ago, a cunning steam chanical creature sohow sneaked into that wasteland and dug holes everywhere. As a result, the underground world hunted down this steam chanical creature and accidentally discovered an opening it had dug. This opening just happened to connect to the underground world, providing this entrance and exit."
"Very few people know about this entrance and exit; it's a top secret within the underground world, and I had to spend a lot of money to acquire this information."
"And this exit, it just so happens, is right beside that indigenous ancient tree. So those fools in the underground world nad this entrance and exit 'Redwood Hole.'"
Chen Gu was surprised. "Wuzhaoyin City has a history of thousands of years. Is that indigenous ancient tree still alive?"
"Of course, it's alive." The gorilla looked at him with a strange gaze, one Chen Gu recognized. It was the kind of look that silently scread, 'What an ignorant fool, awestruck by the mundane'—a look he himself often directed at the gorilla, Ossosa, and Zhao Ji. "The indigenous species of this world are very long-lived, especially plants. It's no problem for them to live for thousands or tens of thousands of years. The last ti I chatted with a Heavenly Emperor superstar who liked to collect useless trivia, he enlightened that the oldest living thing discovered on this planet is a forest that has survived for millions of years."
Chen Gu had been feeling that the gorilla's behavior around him was strange recently. While the guy had always been quite silly, it seed to have intensified lately. For example, talking about "spending a lot of money" or "chatting with a Heavenly Emperor superstar," it always felt like the guy was trying to show off to him.
Your dad has a billion; aren't you afraid your bragging will backfire?
The gorilla fancied itself clever. It intended to use 'identity,' 'status,' and 'wealth' to completely crush this silly wolf's wild ambitions and thwart his wicked sche of snatching away its precious 'little cabbage'!
The light from the exit was already visible ahead. The three of them were invigorated; reaching the surface ant they were basically safe. He expanded the range of 'Mind Belief' to its skill's furthest boundary. He did not sense any threats and finally breathed a slight sigh of relief. The closer one is to success, the more dangerous it often is—they couldn't let their guard down.
Man Suling suddenly furrowed her brows. Her little nose sniffed the air, and she looked puzzled at a certain spot, but there was just an ordinary wall there.
"Anything suspicious?" Chen Gu also looked over there but couldn't detect anything unusual.
Man Suling shook her head lightly. "I can't quite say."
"Quick, let's move! We're about to get out!" the gorilla urged, and the trio quickened their steps. The cave mouth was just ahead, though a bit narrow. The gorilla squeezed out first.
Chen Gu followed behind him. As he stepped out of the hole, he suddenly felt his body plumt rapidly, and everything went dark before his eyes. Surprised, his first thought was: Another 'Gravity Shaman'?
But he quickly realized that wasn't it. This wasn't weightlessness; he was actually falling.
He imdiately shouted back to Man Suling, who was behind him, "Don't co out!"
He then quickly moved to save himself. Unable to locate the enemy, he resorted to using 'Radiation Scouring,' sparing no effort to expand the skill's range, trying to encompass the hidden foe. Then, he couldn't worry about exposing his secrets, so he switched to Derek Kun Shen Ken's mories. Activating the Quantum Wizard's Quantum Teleportation, in an instant, he went from falling back to the position he was in just before stepping out of the cave mouth!
In that instant, the scenery before Chen Gu underwent a drastic change: the 'Redwood Hole' entrance, which should have been right in front of them and could be entered with a re stoop, was gone. Instead, a dark and deep pit lay before them!
And Man Suling, seemingly oblivious to his warning, was about to step in!
An illusion? Soone created an illusion, causing the three of them to mistake the pit for the exit and unknowingly step into it. The gorilla has already fallen in; its life or death is unknown.
He grabbed Man Suling by the neck, causing all the hair on her body to stand on end as she braced for what she thought was an unexpected attack. Her originally swaying, adorable white tail transford in an instant into a rigid iron broom, sweeping towards Chen Gu's waist! At the sa ti, her lithe wolfish waist twisted an unbelievable one hundred eighty degrees, her hands morphing into wolf claws that lunged straight for Chen Gu's face.
Chen Gu shouted lowly, "It's !"
Man Suling paused for a mont. Her tail imdiately softened and coiled around Chen Gu's waist, and her furry paws patted gently on Chen Gu's face. "What's happening?" Aside from Chen Gu's voice, she had slled the familiar 'Prince scent,' confirming it was indeed Chen Gu.
"We have an enemy! They can create illusions! Close your eyes and rely on your hearing and sll."
Just for that mont, Chen Gu found that everything before his eyes had changed back, and he 'saw' the glowing exit once again. Chen Gu closed his eyes, but it was in vain—surprisingly, he could still 'see' the luminous exit ahead, beckoning him to 'hurry and leave.'
It's not an illusion! They're sending the false visuals directly into my retina!
anwhile, in the mories of the erudite Derek Kun Shen Ken, an occupation ca to mind, and Chen Gu had a sudden realization. "It's a 'Quantum Operator'—soone who can arbitrarily cut, splice, and transmit the content of light and shadow, sending false images directly into our retinas! He can make us see whatever he wants us to see! Nothing we see can be trusted!"
The little she-wolf clung tightly to Chen Gu's waist with her tail, saying, "We can't separate. Otherwise, the enemy will surely exploit any opening."
Chen Gu was sowhat displeased. In previous collaborations with won, it had always been this Film Emperor who rode on *them*. Now *she* was hanging onto his waist—what was this about? This Film Emperor's prestige had certainly plumted!
Chen Gu pricked up his ears—a figurative expression, but Man Suling literally perked up her ears, and her nose kept twitching. The physical conditioning of Professionals far exceeded that of ordinary people, their hearing exceptionally acute as well. The two heard a faint sound from their side and rear almost simultaneously. Their coordination was impeccable, and they were about to pounce in that direction together when suddenly, as they strained their ears, sothing deafeningly exploded right near them!
