Chapter 1555: Chapter 1556: Doubts
“How is it?”
Looking at Liao Yu, who had just finished a call with Ye Hanlei, Feng Yuan asked. Shaking his head, Liao Yu said,
“The situation isn’t great. Currently, we’re maintaining communication using ergency systems. The Sky Comm Stations originally set up by the Alliance are all unusable. Right now, we can only ensure communication within city limits.”
“What about areas further away? I can’t believe there’s no corresponding ergency system.”
Feng Yuan found it hard to believe such a thing could happen. Nodding, Liao Yu said,
“There is, but these ergency systems have very limited capacity. Currently, Shangjing can also be contacted, so…”
The group fell silent, and everyone knew what this entailed. It was just that they never expected even Shangjing City, with its nurous protections, to fall into this. Dou Yanlan seed to recall sothing and looked at Agunas, asking,
“The Divine Beasts protecting Shangjing, could they be…”
“They were moved in as well, but that’s not the issue. It doesn’t seem like the other side’s intention is to act directly.”
Swishing its tail, Agunas said with a headache. It couldn’t fathom the aning behind the mastermind’s actions. Feng Yuan glanced at the location of the light pillar and said,
“Let’s go. No matter what, we need to investigate that thing carefully.”
Glancing at Qi Chen and the others, Huo Feng didn’t say anything, although he didn’t find it entirely appropriate. After all, this was Feng Yuan’s decision. Once at the location, they’d likely need the other’s strength.
After learning the general location of the light pillar from Ye Hanlei, Liao Yu signaled Huo Feng to drive everyone there. After soothing the Hua Ye Fox group for a while, Agunas picked up the crystals ford by the grass bees and got in the car with everyone. Upon hearing the location, Feng Yuan said curiously,
“Why is it such a coincidence that it’s around Yixian Gorge Park?”
“Don’t know, maybe it’s just a coincidence, or there could be other reasons.”
Examining Feng Yuan, Agunas said uncertainly. If it didn’t know Feng Yuan’s character, it might doubt him. After all, this coincidence seed too fitting.
“It might not necessarily be a coincidence, but we don’t understand the connection within.”
Looking out the window, Veronia said. It didn’t doubt Feng Yuan, but it also didn’t know what exactly was going on. If it was intentional, then there must be so connection.
Pinching her chin, Dou Yanlan was continuously pondering. This matter seed shrouded in a fog, preventing her from seeing the truth. Lacking clues, and currently, they didn’t even know the opponent’s objective or motivation.
“Is it really okay for us to carry on together? Why not let us off ahead, and we’ll return to the academy on our own?”
Due to driving towards Yixian Gorge Park’s proximity to the city, Tan Xueluo couldn’t help but speak out. Feng Yuan glanced at the two and said,
“Are you scared?”
“No, but I don’t want to be the one holding everyone back!”
“If we’re talking about holding back, isn’t it all the sa? No matter, don’t you think being part of these major events can be beneficial for your future developnt?”
Grinning mischievously, Feng Yuan spoke to Tan Xueluo, seeing him in thought, Qi Chen said helplessly,
“You’re really good at talking nonsense. What help can we provide in this matter?”
“Ah Chen, don’t you also want to experience more? Moreover, now that we’re involved in this, avoiding it might not be a good choice.”
Shaking her head, Dou Yanlan said. Too many people were dragged into this, and she didn’t wish to just hide in the rear and wait for others to rescue her. Without power, many things are simply beyond understanding.
“There’s no need to leave; it shouldn’t have reached that level of seriousness. Haven’t you noticed? So far, there have been no signs of any direct attacks. It’s almost as if it’s a prank.”
Looking at Qi Chen and the others, Feng Yuan said. Everyone knew he was just saying it to comfort them. Pulling off such a grand prank? Who’d believe that?
“I don’t recomnd going back to school. After all, things like this don’t happen often. Whatever your future plans might be, you can’t lack real-world experience. Not to ntion, if I recall correctly, the academy initially offers you real-world training.”
Liao Yu said, glancing at Feng Yuan, who nodded and said,
“Consider it an interesting real-world training session, although it mainly focuses on the dangers of the wild.”
After being persuaded, Tan Xueluo and the others abandoned their previous plans. Even Qi Chen wouldn’t say he wanted to return to the academy. After all, upon graduation, they’d face all sorts of dangers. If Feng Yuan deed it fine, tagging along for so hands-on experience might not be a bad thing.
“What?”
“What… what is this?”
Huo Feng suddenly stopped the car, drawing everyone’s attention forward. It was then that they noticed, at so point, an abnormal situation had appeared. A massive forest abruptly blocked the road ahead, with a stark contrast between the highway and forest, almost like two different spaces.
“Reassembled space? But this doesn’t make sense. If this really happened, why weren’t we warned?”
Examining the forest ahead with suspicion, Feng Yuan said. They were already close to Yixian Gorge Park. Logically, soone stationed there should’ve noticed the anomaly, given the location details they had received ca from them.
“I don’t know; I’ll report the situation first.”
Liao Yu said nervously. Though they had anticipated encountering so oddities, this bizarre forest was still too strange.
“Let’s go, get out of the car, we can only walk from here.”
Putting his hand on Xiao Ji’s head, Feng Yuan said. The forest was clearly unusual; driving through it was unrealistic. As for taking a detour? He hadn’t considered it. This forest covered a vast area, evading it wasn’t just a matter of taking a longer route. Who knew what might be hidden elsewhere?
“Strangely, this forest just appeared suddenly. I wonder if we might run into the team sent to investigate.”
Putting away his phone, Liao Yu said puzzledly. After reporting, Ye Hanlei confird that this place had just appeared, right after they sent people to investigate. With so luck, they might encounter them.
“Be cautious.”
Huo Feng checked the weapons in his hand and advised Qi Chen and the others. According to Liao Yu’s intel, those who entered this area lost all contact. No one knew if sothing had happened.
“Veronia, sorry to trouble you.”
“No problem, these things we can’t avoid either.”
Retracting her parasol into its original form, Veronia waved her small hand, several crystals floated out, circling everyone. Holding the black Ancient Book, Feng Yuan took the lead. In the silent forest, other than the group’s noises, everything was eerily quiet. Observing all around, Xiao Ji was particularly tense.
“Sothing’s not right here. No birds, not a single animal; it’s strangely clean.”
Dou Yanlan said suspiciously. Even though the plants appeared normal, having no animals, not even insects visible, wasn’t a good sign.
“There’s no sign of any animal presence, yet all the plants exhibit behavior typical for survival in a normal ecosystem, which is very strange.”
Holding a black Longbow in one hand, Feng Yuan allowed the black Ancient Book to spin around him. Liao Yu signaled the Fla Wolfhound, Big Dog, by his side to stay alert before stepping forward to examine the nearby plants. After scanning the surroundings, Huo Feng said,
“With no animal presence, the plants shouldn’t present such a form.”
“Could they have removed the native creatures? Or perhaps during the spatial shift, the animals weren’t transferred. These possibilities exist, but… what’s the point of going to such lengths?”
Slightly furrowing his brows, Feng Yuan said baffledly. From the start, he found this anomaly odd. Even during an attack, one would expect so action by now, but apart from spatial changes, there was nothing. Other than the light pillar, rembering it, Feng Yuan looked at Liao Yu and asked,
“By the way, did they investigate what those light pillars are?”
“No, they couldn’t get close. A special Barrier envelops the area around the light pillar, and they haven’t been able to break through the Barrier yet.”
Shaking his head, Liao Yu said. If it weren’t the case, he would’ve already inford Feng Yuan about what was there.
