Chapter 757: Withdrawal

In the tent, a crack about a person's height emitted a flickering light, but the carpet in front of the crack was empty at the moment, with only the lost object lying there.

Just opposite the rift, in that patch of light.

Chen Chuanzhengding is sitting here.

Because under the cover of the rosy glow of the remains, the night in the fusion land became very normal. Various invasions did not appear in the cracks, and no one came to covet the existence here, so he inferred that the rosy glow should have the effect of shielding and concealing.

So he decided to try to walk across the crack and take a look on the other side.

As long as he doesn't stray too far from the rift, he can come back in time even if he encounters any danger.

In fact, when the mother snake split, he had come to this place to look for the split body, but he only stayed for a short moment at that time, and went back after finding the split body. He did not stay for too long. This time after coming here, he decided to try to practice here.

After all, practicing across the rift is not as good as coming here in person. Although this means that he will feel more infection, he doesn't have to worry about it for the time being because he has a second me. He also discovered that where there is a rosy glow, the infection is also blocked.

In order to ensure safety, he also instructed Hongfu in advance to remind him to retreat outside if there was any unusual movement. However, perhaps because he did not stay away from the crack and face the rosy glow directly, nothing from this side came to him when he sat down that night, as if they had ignored this area.

At this time, a chirping sound came from the tent opposite the rift.

Chen Chuan opened his eyes, and there was a bright light in his eyes. After another day and night of practice, at this moment, his spirit had reached the point of self-perfection.

Everyone has a different level of perfection. Some people are limited in their talents, so even if they can reach perfection, they are still some distance away from breaking through that boundary. Some people have the ability to reach this boundary, but lack the external resources to motivate themselves.

On the road to success, both one's own abilities and external conditions are indispensable.

But now, he has met both of these conditions. Now, his self alone is enough to reach higher places, and he also has various medicines that can help him go higher. Now, if he wants, he can try to take that step upward.

but……

He looked at his second self. The last step left was to integrate the power of his second self again. When the two became one and built an unprecedented foundation, he would break through that limit.

He picked up the Xuejun Sword on his knees, stood up, and walked out of the crack. Without looking back, he just swung the long sword backwards, and the crack was instantly closed.

At this time, he washed up briefly, then dressed properly again, took the wide-brimmed hat that was placed aside and put it on, then picked up the lost item and walked out of the tent.

Xu Chan and a group of team members were waiting outside at the moment. The moment he walked out, everyone suddenly felt an unusual aura from him. They couldn't tell what it was, but it made them feel a little palpitated. However, it was only a moment of trance, and the feeling seemed to disappear again.

The others thought it was just an illusion or some kind of mental collision, but Xu Chan was a little surprised. Then he seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but look up at him a few more times.

After Chen Chuan emerged, he glanced down and saw that the insect swarm below had been reduced to scattered insects, hardly posing a significant threat. He also noticed the birds flying in the sky, then glanced at the airship in the distance and said, "Looks like they're here."

Xu Chan walked over and said solemnly, "Manager Chen, we are all ready."

Chen Chuan nodded slightly and asked, "Old Xu, is there a problem?"

Xu Chan responded decisively and firmly: "No problem!"

According to the arrangement this time, he will carry the remains and advance quickly towards the Dashun camp, thereby mobilizing the troops of the old imperial family, and then Chen Chuan will intercept and annihilate the elite enemy troops pursuing them in the rear.

Although the abandoned objects will attract creatures from the fusion land, his strength is enough to deal with these situations.

Chen Chuan handed the lost item to him, who took it solemnly and put it into a bag he was carrying. Chen Chuan looked at the others and said, "How are your preparations going?

"Boss, we are almost ready."

"Then let's get started."

Chen Chuan extended his hand to Xu Chan, "Old Xu, see you at the base."

Xu Chan shook hands with him and said, "See you at the base." Then he let go, took a step back and saluted. The others also saluted Chen Chuan with solemn expressions.

After Chen Chuan returned the salute, everyone immediately dispersed, and then quickly dispersed to begin the final preparations before departure.

After Xu Chan took everything he needed, he said hello to Chen Chuan and everyone else, then jumped off the earthworm's body.

This time, he picked up speed. Before long, he was gradually disappearing from everyone's sight, trailing a trail of dust and smoke across the uneven terrain. However, the direction of the ray of light still clearly indicated his current location.

And they could see that two of the scout birds that were originally circling above them suddenly flew away from the group and chased after the light.

After watching him go away, everyone packed up the tents and took everything they needed. Then they saluted and said goodbye to Chen Chuan one by one, and then left as well.

They will take another route, but will not be too far away from Xu Chan, and will also maintain contact with Xu Chan via telegram so that they can meet up or reunite when necessary.

After they left, several of the scout birds followed them, but only one was still circling over Chen Chuan, as if it wanted to stay and keep an eye on him.

The scout birds obviously cannot tell the importance of specific people, but judge based on their conspicuousness and the number of people. The people on the airship in the distance may be able to tell, but it seems that what they care most about is the person carrying the lost items.

Seeing everyone leaving, Chen Chuan stood alone for a while, went back to pack up his things, and put them all into his bag. Then he patted Chao Ming who was waiting there, and the latter waited obediently where he was.

He took a step and ran along the tail of the earthworm until he reached the end. Then he jumped forward, flipped in the air, and finally landed steadily on his feet.

Looking back at the large creature again, he pulled his coat, turned around, and ran quickly in a certain direction.

He and Xu Chan were heading in roughly the same direction, except that their three teams kept a certain distance between them. However, the difference was that the route he chose was most likely to encounter the enemy's elite pursuit troops.

If you look at the map, he is currently at the very bottom of the map. Above everyone else, there are many mountains and ravines, most of which are not conducive to fast running. But here he is, with relatively open plains and hills, which is very convenient for the deployment and pursuit of troops.

So the old imperial family is coming to chase them. If it is a ground force, it must be coming from the south.

Of course, using airships to airdrop troops is also an option, but the situation is the same. There are a large number of ferocious and abnormal flying creatures living in the high mountains and canyons of the fusion land. They will not avoid some flying objects that enter their territory, but will drive them forward and attack them.

Therefore, it is still easier to come from the plains. Besides, the north is blocked by dangerous mountains, and the old imperial family has no need to send another army from there. At most, they can place a troop to block some easily passable passes.

After Chen Chuan ran at a normal speed for half a day, he saw a sparse forest in front of a valley. There were traces of gnawing on the trees, and most of the leaves had disappeared. This was obviously a place that had been destroyed by insects and quicksand, but at least many plants survived.

Moreover, I could see a faint green at the end of my sight. It was obvious that my previous judgment was correct. If I continued to move in this direction, I would see dense woods. So I sped up a bit.

As his speed increased, the scout bird following behind him also sped up to catch up, but this time his speed seemed a little too fast, even the bird could not keep up, and could only chase after him desperately.

Twenty minutes later, he felt that the branches and leaves around him were gradually becoming denser. When he got here, he looked up through the gaps in the leaves and saw that the scout bird was still chasing him relentlessly, so he decided to deal with the bird first.

He sped up a little more and rushed into the lush woodland ahead in an instant.

Due to the obstruction of branches and leaves, the scout bird could not see the direction it was heading, so it naturally lowered its altitude. However, it was obviously trained and always maintained a certain distance away from being attacked. It did not continue to lower its altitude, and at most it slowed down slightly.

But at this moment, a black shadow suddenly flew down from above at a high speed. Chao Ming swooped down from the sky and kicked the scout bird on the head and neck with a snap!

These days, he has been nourished by the relic every day and stimulated by the light coming from the cracks. Now he is a lot bigger than before he entered the fusion area.

This is not just an increase in size, but also an increase in alienated tissue. The combat effectiveness has increased several times. With this kick, the neck of the big bird was directly broken, causing it to fall from the sky. After hanging on several branches, it fell to the ground with a bang.

Chao Ming flapped its wings and turned in the sky, calling out excitedly several times.

Chen Chuan walked to the place where the flying bird fell. He could see at a glance that there was a copper ring on its foot with the word "Wei" engraved on it from the old times. But as he got closer, he was smelled a strong pungent smell that made people hold their breath and stop.
