When the two people climbed back up the original path, the woman looked longingly at the lush green mountains around her. Though she still behaved with maidenly grace, the eagerness in her eyes didn’t escape the two individuals.
The two people exchanged a smile.
But soon, they noticed a fluctuation in space. Luo Qianqian’s face turned pale: "Have we been inside for a month?"
"Probably..." Tang Tianyi also looked bewildered.
Luo Qianqian looked at Feng Xi: "Do you want to co with us?"
Feng Xi nodded heavily; staying on this island was no different from staying in that palace.
"Can you enter the storage ring?" Luo Qianqian asked as she noticed the disturbance increasing in intensity.
Feng Xi turned pale; storage ring? Was she an object?
She removed a piece of red Jade from around her neck and placed it near Luo Qianqian’s nose, then entered the Jade herself.
Luo Qianqian touched the Jade: "This thing is not bad, huh?"
"If you like it, I’ll give it to you later." Feng Xi’s voice ca from within the Jade, calm and collected.
Tang Tianyi smiled helplessly; the two exchanged a look and took out their Wooden Tokens.
Before long, they felt dizzy, and then they appeared on the edge of the island. The Wooden Tokens in their hands vanished again.
"Looks like it’s ti to start the next cycle." Luo Qianqian smiled at Tang Tianyi.
Tang Tianyi nodded emphatically.
But soon, they noticed sothing was amiss—why was there no one around them except themselves? No escort boats either?
He took out his phone, no signal...
Their spiritual power was also suppressed in the mist, unable to perceive beyond three ters.
But seeing people erge from ti to ti, either injured or with missing body parts, Luo Qianqian’s face turned pale.
For those who died in there, their belongings would also remain inside, which is why it was said that elixirs were scattered everywhere.
Tang Tianyi looked in a direction, his brow furrowing: "It seems, there’s a fight?"
"Huh?" Luo Qianqian was stunned: "With fish?"
Tang Tianyi shook his head seriously: "Seems to be a war among those who were left behind. I sense familiar auras."
"Qianqian?" Jingjiang Rousi also erged unscathed, surprised at the scene outside: "What’s going on?"
"Seems like, there’s a fight." Luo Qianqian replied softly, not overly disturbed by Jingjiang Rousi.
"Our liaison seems to have died." Jingjiang Rousi also took out sothing, frowning as he spoke.
At this mont, a cry of alarm ca from not far away. The three exchanged glances and rushed over, only to find a blonde woman sitting on the ground, surrounded by the remains of the Island country’s people.
Luo Qianqian turned pale and ran to the side, dry heaving.
Seeing it on screen hadn’t been much; like watching a movie, but seeing it in person, the horror was imnse.
"What’s going on?" Jingjiang Rousi’s face was pale too, filled with incredulity.
Tang Tianyi supported Luo Qianqian, pulling her away. Jingjiang Rousi quickly followed; what was happening now was beyond his scope. His elegant face went ashen.
Even if he were an assassin, he wouldn’t use such brutal thods.
A quick execution with a gun was always his main task.
"What’s going on?" Despite having killed not a few people, he was still young; his heart wasn’t strong enough to take in the scattered remains, and he couldn’t help worrying about his companions.
But soon enough, he noticed sothing off: "Wait, upon entry, everyone was usually separated, how co they’re dying in the sa manner?"
This didn’t seem like it was just one or two people; the chance of encountering and killing so many wasn’t likely.
Suspiciously, he looked at Luo Qianqian and Tang Tianyi: "How did you end up together?"
"We were never apart." Luo Qianqian declared calmly, removing the bandage on her hand, revealing a healed wound with pink new flesh, marking the injury it once suffered.
Tang Tianyi naturally took over the bandage; it was dirty now and was used as a glove, he’d forgotten to take it off.
But his wound was healing slower than Luo Qianqian’s, the scabs hadn’t fallen off yet.
Seeing the two’s shocking wounds, Jingjiang Rousi swallowed hard.
If it were him, he’d never choose to enter injured, it’d lower his survival chances.
More importantly, he’d always worked alone; having more people would be a burden. His sister didn’t participate this ti; she was still in school and didn’t need him to worry about her.
"Hm?" Luo Qianqian suddenly looked shocked at her feet and exclaid: "The land is sinking!"
From a few ters above sea level to standing in water, their movent speed was unmistakably swift.
Only then did they see boats approaching, each bearing scars, startling Luo Qianqian briefly.
But Tang Tianyi quickly found Diwu Yan’s boat, not far from them.
From dozens of boats to now just a dozen, it was evident what had transpired.
Luo Qianqian looked at Jingjiang Rousi: "Co with us?" It was to repay the favor of conceding upon entry, although for him, it was simply gentlemanly conduct.
Jingjiang Rousi took a look around and didn’t see his country’s boat, scowling as he nodded.
On board, however, Diwu Yan’s handso face bore several scars, adding to his masculinity.
"What happened?" Luo Qianqian asked in surprise.
Diwu Yan said emphatically: "It was all preditated!" Then he recounted what had happened after they entered.
Turns out, after they went in, people over here had started acting; Diwu Yan quickly went on the defensive and notified several friendly parties, barely escaping disaster.
The country of Jingjiang Rousi was targeted first precisely because of his excellence.
Due to Luo Qianqian and Tang Tianyi’s presence, Huaxia also beca a focal target; only through unity could they survive.
But protecting Diwu Yan resulted in many losing their lives.
Inside, people didn’t fare any better.
The Island country sent in thirty-eight people, twenty-two involved in breaking the palace, sixteen in silencing various countries, with a high success rate, but ultimately, helping the palace-breaking team led to total wipeout.
Huaxia had only two survivors besides Luo Qianqian and Yang Tianyi, both in terrible condition.
"How co you two aren’t hard?" Diwu Yan asked, curious.
Luo Qianqian paused, squeezed Tang Tianyi’s hand, and then helplessly said: "We were lost for a month. Besides grass, all we saw were trees, occasionally a couple of ill-intentioned small animals..."
