Chapter Twenty-Eight: Encounters

"It's really convenient, the ability to teleport ...... space"

Walking out of the mirror-like vortex space passage again, Penglai Mountain Huiye couldn't help but sigh slightly, as if he was a little interested.

Naturally, the surrounding scenery has completely changed, turning into an endless wilderness.

As far as the eye could see, waist-high weeds, swaying slightly in the breeze, and the occasional oddly twisted old tree, all of which were yellow and lifeless.

Moreover, even the already hazy "sky" has become much deeper, making the environment on the plain seem very dark, but there are no clouds in the sky.

However, there is no sun in this space, so it is not difficult to understand, maybe the light in this area is too dark?

"It's very convenient, but why do you seem to be disappointed in Kaguya?" Mu Xiu gave her a strange look.

"Isn't that a matter of course, you think, if that's the case, then wouldn't all the fun of traveling along the way be gone?"

Her Royal Highness the black and straight princess brushed her long hair, and then spread her hands and said with a little helplessness.

For Kaguya, who has the ability to stop time to a certain extent, if he acts in the "eternity" of the external time stopping, the objective time that has elapsed is zero, so it can also form a substantial teleportation.

However, this is not the same as true spatial teleportation, as the latter is a direct spatial jump, i.e. disappearing in one location and then appearing in another.

Her Royal Highness the Princess, on the other hand, has traveled through space in the usual sense, but the time interval is close to zero for an outside observer.

In other words, she doesn't disappear from one place and appears directly in another. Rather, it moves from one place to another in a moment that is imperceptible to an outside observer, and the process of movement is real.

“……”

“……”

“…… Does that mean it's the process that matters, not the outcome? Kaguya, you have a point! ”

Mu Xiu paused for a moment, as if he understood, he nodded directly and acknowledged and explained: "But we are not here for sightseeing this time, and there is not enough time." ”

That's right, appearing here at this time is completely because Mu Xiu felt that the matter was easy to solve, so he took the time to come directly from Shimoda. Even if it's full, the time you can use is only three hours.

By noon, everyone in Shimoda would have gone back together.

At that time, if you can't find anyone and can't be contacted at all, you will probably be treated as a missing person, right?

Mu Xiu felt that these two days were enough trouble, so this kind of inexplicable trouble could still be saved, although it was only close to April, but he always had a feeling that he had an attack of May illness.

If it's a demon king, a brave man, a different world and something like that, he can barely raise some interest. Or the lunar war that has been preparing for a long time, just wait for the timeline over there to adjust to the correct scale, and then you can start immediately.

But such trifles ...... Forget it.

"And I can only teleport directly and accurately from the places I've been, and this time I'm only able to come here because I know the specific direction and distance, and confirm that there will be no danger."

Mu Xiu said flatly, while squinting his eyes slightly and looking around.

He opened the space door and teleported according to the instructions of Esumi of Heron's Palace, but he could only ensure the approximate azimuth distance, which was not completely accurate.

In fact, you don't need to be completely accurate, just reach the periphery of the site, preferably at least three or five kilometers away.

Otherwise, it may be more dangerous.

……

……

The vegetation in the wilderness was lifeless, as if these tenacious weeds were only lingering, and the whole vast plain was dead silent, except for the sound of the wind that had not blown.

A certain formless, but tangible, pressure, like a natural deterrent, permeates every inch of this wilderness land, as invisible and intangible, yet overwhelming as air.

So much so that a certain ecological catastrophe has been formed, and even plants are half-dead, let alone animals.

And in the middle of this wilderness, there are three figures moving forward, looking like they are lonely and desolate.

"It's lifeless everywhere, and the beasts here...... Hmm, it's a beast, right? They're relatively few in number, but they seem to be pretty tough overall - it's not an exaggeration to say they're monsters. ”

Mu Xiu closed his eyes and sensed it for a moment, then opened his eyes and said very firmly, but it seemed that he didn't care at all.

He has identified the direction of the source of that ubiquitous pressure. It was on the left side of the road, about twenty kilometers away, and the closer you got to it, the more terrifying it became.

By the time we arrived at the center, the actual pressure was enough to kill any living thing on the planet, and even bacteria and viruses and other microorganisms were not immune.

Although neither of them are ordinary people......

Penglai people are immortal in soul and body, or not immortal, but will be resurrected immediately after death, so they cannot be regarded as "living" people at all.

And no matter what aspect it is, as long as it can reach the level of A-level, it is obviously impossible to belong to the category of human beings. Even if it's just spiritual power, after all, you must know that A-level bloodline enhancement can even reach the level of angels, dragons, and the like.

Therefore, Egret Palace, who has mastered the spiritual power above the A-rank, also does not belong to the existence of the normal earth ecosystem.

So the two of them would definitely not be planted here for such a reason, but even so, Mu Xiu still had no intention of recklessly going all the way in.

"Yes, it was because they sensed this situation that they searched in this direction first, but after advancing less than three hundred kilometers, they had already suffered very heavy losses, and they also found clues to the fall of suspected ancient gods......"

Egremiya Isumi said seriously, the tone of his voice was as low as usual, and it was easy for the listener to leak if he didn't pay attention or wasn't focused enough.

"From here, every few kilometers you go across...... All encounters are more formidable, and they have only advanced less than half the distance to the level of Type A evil spirits, but fortunately their number is relatively small......"

"Wait, is there a time and distance limit on this pass?"

Mu Xiu lowered his head, but suddenly began to study the ID card in his hand, on which a crystal screen was displaying special values that seemed to be about distance and time that changed from time to time.

“……”

“……”

Are you listening to people seriously? It turns out that whether it is a relatively normal mode or a mode of disobedience to the gods, is this thing actually so self-contained?

Penglai Mountain Huiye sighed, then put a finger to his lips and said, "That, the concubine said, it seems that someone else is coming over there!" ”

"This, Mr. Musiu, is actually like this...... Because the danger here is too high, it will be very troublesome if something happens to the survey members who are out. ”

Egremiya Isumi waved his hands and explained in a somewhat flustered manner.

"Therefore, it is necessary to determine the direction and approximate distance in advance, as well as the time to go back and forth, and once there is a problem with the positioning information or the time limit has not returned, the rescue can be carried out immediately...... Moreover, the magnetic field here is very disordered, and the distance of electronic communication is very limited......"

"Is that so?" Mu Xiu touched his chin, thoughtful.

“……”

“……”

“…… Hey, you two listen to people......"

Penglai Mountain Kaguya really feels that there is nothing to say now, whether these two guys can listen to others well, it really hurts my stomach.

"Don't worry, it's an acquaintance in a sense, Kaguya, didn't you notice that your pass has a hint on it? And why do you think I'm studying this thing all of a sudden......"

Mu Xiu said nonchalantly, and then he waved his hand disappreciatively and turned his eyes to look over.

"But how long have they only been in the countermeasures room, and how quickly have they been involved in such a thing?"

The people who were approaching in the distance were undoubtedly a big team compared to the three of Mu Xiu, it was the team led by Isayama Huangquan from the original countermeasures room, and another team that was now newly formed-

That is, the team composed of the brave Emilia, Ameralda, Albert, and the only remaining Guan Shitou and Kasuga Natsuki of the original four special warfare classes.

They seemed to be running in, keeping a certain formation as much as possible in the hurry, alerting to the movements around them, and approaching in the direction where Mu Xiu and the others were in surprise.

"It is said that there is a reason why their special powers will only recover on their own in this space......" the kimono girl whispered, also looking in that direction.

"Also, they have mastered a spell called it, and long-distance communication is very effective, and they will not be limited by the environment here, so they ......"

"Concept Sending and Receiving...... Is it? I understand. ”

Mu Xiu's eyes changed slightly, but he had forgotten that in addition to the space-time magic called "GATE" in the world where the demon king and the brave man were located, there was also a technology called "concept sending and receiving" that was obviously an example of the specification.

It's a special ability in the field of telepathy, a connection between thoughts and minds. Perhaps at first glance it doesn't sound unusual, but mental skills such as spiritual words and psychic chains can be used to the extent that the mind is connected.

However, the special feature of the skill of "concept sending and receiving" lies in its ability to lock on across planes and connect with the mental idea of a specific "target".

Specifically, the difference between quantum hyperspace communicators and ordinary mobile phone calls is that although both can communicate with people in other places, as long as you are not stupid, you can understand that they are definitely not easily equated.

“emmmmm……”

Raising his head, Mu Xiu looked at the ubiquitous electromagnetic waves in the air that could not be captured by normal people with the naked eye, and the magnetic field phenomenon in this space was indeed very disordered.

Ordinary electronic communication devices will start to malfunction due to excessive and strong interference at a slightly distance. So the brave and his party really happened to be like a fish in water here, as if this copy was tailor-made for them.

- It's no wonder that he was directly entrusted with the important task by the countermeasures room, and he may have joined the countermeasures room last night, and he was sent here today.

But it should also have the meaning of testing, otherwise, generally speaking, the secrets found in this space should be absolutely secret.

In fact, it's not that the government bureaucrats aren't interested in the ruins of the gods, or that the state really doesn't want to take over the place completely from the psychic industry.

The human brain replenishment ability is too strong, and after it seems that the remnants of the ancient gods were unearthed in this space a few days ago, there are some idiots who can't wait to take control of this place.

Longevity, Strength, Wealth...... These concepts completely occupy one of their few brain sizes.

It was only after a large number of brainless guys rushed in and sent them to death that they understood what it meant that the gods could fall in this space.

- The ancient gods may have died here, how much brainless waste wood does it take to think that this is not a place of great evil......

On the contrary, it will contain a blessed land that can give them immortality and power?
