"This... how is this possible!"
The girl who just activated the [Unlimited Transmission Chip] was full of disbelief, looking at the young man in front of her who was not particularly tall or sturdy but exuded an overwhelming pressure, leaving her at a loss.
At this mont, everyone's minds were frozen.
In their impression, even if a Fierce Ghost had activated a supernatural lockdown, using the [Unlimited Transmission Chip] should forcibly allow them to leave the sealed area.
It's just that the side effects would be more severe, leaving them weak for a long ti.
They had never seen a Supernatural Object fail to work! Let alone being crushed barehanded during transmission!?
"Run? When I had [Ghost Valley] in my hands, it couldn't escape. Do you think you can do better?" Wu Liang's voice was unusually deep.
Having been in the Tianshan Mountain Range for these many days, he originally ca searching for clues to the [Promised Land], and now he finally had the main target in his grasp.
If it weren't for wanting to leave soone alive to extract information, he would have torn apart the leading captain and that chubby guy just now.
"Hmm? Wait, [Ghost Valley]? You're not a Fierce Ghost!" The woman standing next to Wu Liang, called Xiaoling by her teammates, suddenly realized.
No wonder when Erhu's blood hit him, there was no reaction!
That blood would cause fundantal damage to a Fierce Ghost but was completely harmless to a living human.
"Of course, I'm not a Fierce Ghost, but you're all about to go to hell and beco Fierce Ghosts..."
With that said, a hint of ferocity flashed in Wu Liang's eyes.
His hand moved as fast as lightning, covering the woman's head.
If nothing unexpected happened, in the next second she'd be slamd to the ground, much like he had done to their captain earlier. Looking at the woman's physical condition, if hit, she probably wouldn't be able to move for ten days to half a month.
In this life-and-death mont, the woman's brain worked rapidly, and she closed her eyes, shouting tentatively: "Comrade Shadow?!"
Wooosh——
Wu Liang's hand stopped mid-air, and the violent wind stirred by his force tousled the woman's hair into a ss.
Upon hearing these words, the people around who were pulling out various devices to co to the rescue were also stunned.
"Nightmare, go check on her."
As soon as he finished speaking, the woman in front of them suddenly fell asleep. The sudden change caught everyone off guard, unclear about what trick Wu Liang had pulled.
But the na Xiaoling ntioned confused them about whether they should intervene.
While the two sides were in a standoff, within a few seconds, Nightmare's mory retrieval was complete.
After all, this woman was just an ordinary person, not even an Awakened.
It awkwardly whispered into Wu Liang's ear: "Boss, it seems they're an official exploration team. If nothing else, you probably just beat up your own people."
"..."
Snap——
Wu Liang snapped his fingers, and the woman lying on the ground woke up dazedly, rubbing her eyes.
She felt like she had just had a dream.
She reviewed her life's experiences from an observer's perspective, and that feeling of unreality left her in a bit of a daze.
What am I doing now?
The young man in front of her seed so familiar... Oh crap!
The mont she saw Wu Liang's clear face, her drowsiness vanished, and she was fully alert, preparing to stand up.
But the next series of events baffled her.
"Uh... did you get hurt from the fall? Oh dear, young people really can fall asleep just like that."
Wu Liang's eyes were full of concern as he bent down to help the woman up, even patting the dust off her shoulder, showing a kind-hearted deanor.
Xiaoling: "?"
What do you an by 'just fell asleep'? Wasn't it your doing?!
Wu Liang awkwardly scratched the back of his head and said, "Good morning everyone, hahaha, I'm Shadow—oh no, the codena is now Reporter."
Everyone in the camp was now full of black lines and helplessness.
They were mbers of the Capital City's official headquarters' third exploration team, tasked with missions in uncharted territories. Their current mission in the Tianshan Mountain Range was to find the rumored missing Symbiont deep within the interior—Shadow.
Good news: They found him.
Bad news: The way of greeting was sowhat unique, and everyone ended up floored.
Under Wu Liang's "help," the knocked-out burly captain and the chubby guy woke up in just a few minutes.
Even though everyone had now recognized each other, there was still a hint of fear in their eyes when they looked at Wu Liang.
After all, the encounter earlier was really shocking, and within just two minutes, they had lost three people. If it wasn't for recognizing each other, they wouldn't have doubted that another two minutes and they'd be wiped out.
"So... you an, I've been missing for three whole months?" Wu Liang's tone was extrely serious.
After recognizing each other, everyone explained the external situation to Wu Liang, also supported by Nightmare glimpsing into the woman's mory, verifying that they were not lying.
"Hmm, now the situation outside is really ssed up, with various private forces erupting like mushrooms after rain, using the [Promised Land] as an excuse to cause trouble. Officially, everyone is extrely busy," the burly captain sighed.
He actually wanted to help at the front against those private forces, but the acting director insisted they go to the Tianshan Mountain Range to find Shadow's whereabouts as soon as possible.
The explanation given was—bringing that kid back was more important than eliminating the [Promised Land].
Initially, they didn't quite understand, just followed orders.
Now they seed to grasp a bit of why the acting director made that decision...
"When did you guys arrive? Why set up camp here?" Wu Liang frowned, starting to ponder over the current situation frantically.
He hadn't expected that having been in the Tianshan Mountain Range for less than ten days, the outside world had undergone so many changes.
By this reasoning, does it an that the ti predicted by the [Ghost Compendium] for the second Supernatural Calamity is almost up?
Damn! This ghost place really can ss with ti flow!
Initially, he thought it just adjusted his personal state back to five years ago, but it turned out the ti flow of the entire region was different from the world outside!
"To be honest... we don't exactly know how long we've been here. Ever since entering this forest, the sky hasn't darkened, and all our ti-recording devices malfunction. But judging by everyone's daily routine, it must have been at least half a month."
Upon hearing the burly captain's words, Wu Liang continued evaluating the situation in his mind.
He had only been in the village for three days, but they had been here for half a month.
That ant the ti flow in the forest was different from in the village.
So, integrating all the current information and distributing ratios would an—
Inside the Tianshan Mountain Range, two days equal a month in the outside world; the ti in Taohua Village is approximately the sa as outside; the forest's ti flow is the slowest, roughly five days equating to one day outside.
"By the way, Comrade Shadow, did you co from that village full of Fierce Ghosts?"
"Hmm?"
