"Star Lord, Controller."
Ye Yunxiu greeted them.
After Zhang Xiaoman had disappeared for a while and then reappeared with Lin Sisi by his side, it only took a mont of thought for him to understand the other party’s intention.
"Star Lord, are you planning to close the Dinsion Rift with the Controller Lord?"
Ye Yunxiu asked at once, his tone was one of certainty.
Zhang Xiaoman nodded.
"Indeed, the number of monsters is imnse. I must close the rift as soon as possible, we can’t delay any longer, or else the Mi Army here may not last much longer... Moreover, behind the Dinsion Rift, there might be so big fella, ready to cross over at any mont..."
As he spoke, down below the spaceship, the small town was still ablaze with gunfire.
Fighter jets, tanks, helicopters, missiles, machine guns...
A myriad of sounds converged, with explosions incessant, the monsters’ roars mixed with the roaring of human soldiers, presenting a scene akin to a planetary war.
"I understand..."
Ye Yunxiu nodded, his heart shaking once again.
He had originally noticed so clues from the behaviors of the alien species and wanted to take the initiative to point them out and remind his boss.
However, from Zhang Xiaoman’s remarks just now, he felt that the boss had already noticed.
"As expected, Star Lord, you have seen it too..."
Ye Yunxiu shook his head self-deprecatingly, thinking he was simply carrying coals to Newcastle. If he could notice the unusualness of these alien species, how could the Star Lord not be aware?
"Hmm..."
Zhang Xiaoman responded softly.
He didn’t think much of the other’s words, taking them as an agreent with what he had just said.
What Ye Yunxiu said next, however, caught him slightly off guard.
"Since these alien species appear so frightened, I believe they must have encountered so catastrophe... This change could be environntal or could stem from other alien species. Perhaps at this mont, a terrifying entity is hunting them down... You’re right, Star Lord, whatever is behind them, we have to close the Dinsion Rift quickly to prevent such a creature from breaking through."
After Ye Yunxiu finished, he looked pensively at the purple glow in the projection with a grave expression on his face.
Zhang Xiaoman, however, was bewildered by his words.
What fear? What catastrophe? Why do I always feel like we are not on the sa page?
Zhang Xiaoman unconsciously looked at the projection in front of him, examining the group of alien species closely.
Indeed, after Ye Yunxiu’s reminder, he seed to also discern so clues.
The sight was of Stone Statue Demons jostling to squeeze out of the purple Dinsion Rift, their behavior not resembling ordinary cross-realm travelers but more like escapees in panic.
Moreover, after erging, these creatures did not linger nearby, nor did many of them rush into the town below.
Mostly, as soon as they appeared, they imdiately flapped their wings and ran off into the distance, sotis ignoring the military forces blocking them, with a determination to break through the encirclent at all costs.
This situation, together with the actions of these alien species, indeed seed to match what Ye Yunxiu suggested.
That is, they were actually fleeing for their lives, and behind this group, it was highly possible that sothing formidable indeed existed.
"No way..."
Zhang Xiaoman was surprised, truly startled by this conclusion.
If sothing could scare so many Stone Statue Demons to this extent, whatever it was, it would definitely be a huge problem.
In fact, his initial concern about a big critter being behind them was not that deep—he simply had that layer of worry due to the Fallen Angel they had encountered in Sheep Village last ti.
But now, with Ye Yunxiu’s reminder, that previous worry seed to manifest into reality, making him tense all over again.
"No, we must close that rift imdiately!"
Zhang Xiaoman didn’t hesitate and imdiately took Lin Sisi to the spaceship’s hatch.
Of course, before that, he needed to summon Jin Bao, and later on, let it use the Skill Following the Way of Heaven.

"Jiu Jiu!"
As Jin Bao the dog was summoned over, Jiu Jiu, who had been playing with it on Rebirth Island, teleported to its master’s side as well.
Zhang Xiaoman was just about to summon it, but seeing the little guy voluntarily run back saved her quite a bit of trouble.
"Jiu Jiu, good timing since you can fly as well. Let’s go, act with , and protect Sisi," Zhang Xiaoman said.
The more foxes, the more help.
Though the little creature’s combat power is lackluster, and its impact ability is almost nonexistent—barely more than being cute—
it still had the skill of a shield, which could protect Lin Sisi from harm.
"Jiu Jiu!"
Jiu Jiu responded with a sound and imdiately leaped into the air, landing on the young girl’s head.
"Alright, execute the plan," Zhang Xiaoman said to her wristwatch.
The Canglan Departnt mbers on the other end imdiately began to act, using the Dawn to send out a series of signal waves in all directions.
At the sa ti, all the Mi Army camps nearby also received a ssage.
The content of the ssage was simple: it asked them to stop bombarding the Dinsion Rift and to focus on holding the periter instead, ensuring that no monster broke through the encirclent.
"What is this? Is this one of ours? Why haven’t I seen his frequency before?" General Feodor frowned deeply as he looked at the information displayed in front of him on the Hurricane Bureau’s plane.
He had already boarded the plane with the help of Beelu and others and was currently on his way to the nearest temporary command camp.
After seeing this ssage, Lune imdiately thought of what Hu Hu from the Abnormality Departnt had ntioned earlier and quickly realized that this was obviously the person who could close the Dinsion Rift.
Lune wasn’t foolish, and upon recalling the requests made by those individuals, he understood right away that they were preparing to step in and close the rift.
"Quick! Contact the headquarters imdiately and order all artillery to cease bombarding the Dinsion Rift! Shift the target to clearing out the escaping monsters!" Lune said to the communicator beside him.
General Feodor’s eyes widened on hearing this command.
"Cease the bombardnt!? Lune! Have you lost your mind!?" he exclaid.
"I’m not crazy! Trust , Feodor. Those people are here to help us. They can close those rifts because they need to approach them!" Lune explained succinctly.
However, it seed that Feodor was sowhat skeptical.
"Are you sure, Lune? Can soone really close those things? Why haven’t I heard about this before? Who exactly are they?" Feodor asked.
At these words, Lune found himself at a loss for words.
Indeed, he couldn’t be sure himself.
The existence of these people was, after all, only speculation.
The Abnormality Departnt had simply stated that soone would co to help, but he didn’t even know who they were.
However, it seed that there was no other option now but to trust them.
He could see that as the number of monsters erging from the Dinsion Rift grew, the Fourth Marine Corps was starting to buckle under the pressure.
If things continued like this, it would probably take less than half an hour before the defensive line completely collapsed.
At that point, with the monsters unleashed and spread out, there would be no way to stop and kill them again.
The people on this land would then be under great threat at all tis.
So he didn’t really have a better option now and had to choose to trust them.
As long as those damned rifts can be closed, the remaining monsters will be like ducks on a pond—easily eradicated.
