The scene briefly descended into chaotic revelry.
"Oh, my! Dear Lords!!!"
The old technician heard the noise, so frightened that his soul seed to leave his body, and he rushed over, crawling and tumbling, his face worse than crying, his voice changing tone.
"Stop shouting! Stop shouting!!!"
"Shut up, please!!!"
"Do you want to attract the Destiny Ghost Army?!!"
His hoarse shout was like cold water splashed into boiling oil.
The revelry scene instantly froze.
All the Grandmasters who had climbed out were visibly stunned, the ecstasy on their faces quickly fading, replaced by shock and bewildernt.
"Destiny Ghost Army?"
"Attract... attract them?"
Soone instinctively looked around.
The pale ice plains, the howling cold wind, the unfamiliar glacier contours...
A chill instantly shot up from the soles of the feet to the Celestial Spirit.
"Where... where is this?!!"
"Where’s Glazed Light City?! Where’s the camp?!"
"Damn it! Where the hell did that atball bring us?!"
Panic spread again like a plague.
"We’re already outside the Great Wall Defense Line! The nearest beacon tower is at least 150 kiloters away!!"
The old technician looked at this group of ’Lords’ who finally realized their dire situation, both anxious and angry, yelling in a hushed voice.
"Outside the Great Wall?!"
"150 kiloters?!"
"Damn!!!"
The cries of despair exploded instantly.
Outside the Great Wall, was truly a no man’s land ravaged by Life Ghosts.
A place even a Tier Three Martial Saint dared not rashly venture into, a land of death.
This group of exhausted, battered Tier Two Grandmasters, trapped here, were nothing more than lambs to the slaughter.
"Deep Blue Heavy Industries!!!"
A hot-tempered Grandmaster suddenly turned his head, his blood-red eyes fixated on the old technician like a fierce beast ready to devour people.
"It’s you! You tricked us into this cursed place!!"
"Damn it! What bullshit relic! It was all a trap!!"
"I almost got eaten by that monster! And now we are dumped at the Life Ghost’s nest!!"
"Give back my life!!"
The anger erupted like a volcano!
Dozens of gazes filled with killing intent and fury instantly focused on the few from Deep Blue Heavy Industries.
The crowd, like an enraged wolf pack, slowly closed in.
The faces of the few from Deep Blue Heavy Industries turned deathly pale, retreating repeatedly.
"Everyone! Everyone, calm down! Listen to !!"
The old technician raised his hands, his voice urgent and sincere.
"This unexpected incident, we at Deep Blue Heavy Industries cannot deny our responsibility! We admit it! Compensation we will surely provide! Even if it costs us everything!"
He paused, seeing the still unfriendly gazes of the crowd, and quickly added in a fast pace:
"But now is not the ti to settle scores! Survival is the priority!!"
"The route back is already unsafe! When we ca here, we noticed significant signs of Life Ghost activity, frequent patrols! Now returning the sa way, the probability of running into a Destiny Ghost Army patrol is extrely high! Once entangled..."
He didn’t finish, but everyone understood.
The outco of being discovered by the Destiny Ghost Army on the ice plains outside the Great Wall.
"What do we do then?! Wait here to die?!"
"Isn’t Deep Blue Heavy Industries supposed to be capable?! Think of sothing!!"
The crowd was restless and uneasy.
"We have already sent out a rescue signal to the nearest beacon tower!"
The old technician quickly reassured.
"Reinforcents are already on the way! What we need to do now is find a hidden place to hide, preserve our strength, and wait for rescue! Trust ! As long as we last until reinforcents arrive, we can all make it back alive!"
Hearing the word "reinforcents," the restless crowd finally cald down sowhat.
Although still filled with suspicion and anger, the instinct to survive overpowered the impulse.
Everyone started to support each other, their eyes vigilantly scanning the surroundings, looking for a suitable hiding place.
anwhile, Shikong, Liu Hanyan, and Wei Banng quickly approached the few from Deep Blue Heavy Industries.
"Hello." Shikong clasped his hands together, his bald head still stained with blood, his tone grave, "Earlier... did you see our captain co out? Fang Qingyu?"
The old technician looked at Shikong, then glanced at the unconscious little girl on Wei Banng’s back, imdiately recognizing their identities, his deanor becoming more respectful, quickly shaking his head:
"Grandmaster, and the others... we’ve been monitoring the movents of that atball nearby, from start to finish, except for the terrifying Thunder figure that appeared earlier..."
He looked in awe at the golden thunder mark in the northwest sky, which had not yet completely dissipated.
"And Jiang Taixuan, who escaped earlier..."
"I truly didn’t see Captain Fang co out!"
"Didn’t co out?!"
Shikong and Liu Hanyan’s faces instantly changed.
Wei Banng’s cold eyebrows also furrowed tightly.
Fang Qingyu wasn’t inside, nor did he co out?
Then where is he?
And hearing the news that Jiang Taixuan escaped alive, their expressions darkened even more...
But before they could think it through.
Rumble—!!!
The solid permafrost ice plains beneath them began to shake violently without warning.
As if there were thousands of troops charging underground.
"An earthquake?!
"No! It’s... it’s over there!!!"
Amidst the screams of terror.
Everyone turned their heads in horror, looking toward the direction from which the tremors ca.
Only to see on the distant horizon...
A boundless surge made of countless gray and black dots!
Just like a deathly flood devouring everything, with terrifying montum grinding all to dust, it raised a storm of ice and snow...
Rushing toward where they were...
Roaring madly!!!
Everywhere it passed, even the pale ice plains seed to be stained with a layer of despairing gray!
"Damn—!!!!"
Desperate screams instantly tore through the dead silence of the ice plains.
...
On the other side, in the sky.
Rumble—!!!
The raging snowstorm was forcibly parted by the Dark Gold Divine Thunder, tearing open a vacuum path.
