Meanwhile, in a dense forest seventy miles away.

A team of nearly twenty people was moving rapidly through the forest, speeding towards Haicheng.

The woman in the lead wore a loose-fitting long shirt and tight-fitting jeans.

Her pretty and charming face carried a hint of impatience.

Beside her was a tall, handsome man and an ordinary-looking woman.

Apart from the three people at the very front, the people behind them all looked rather grim.

In the main group, someone at the rear couldn't help but complain.

"Sister Tianjiao, we've just left Haicheng, can't we take the treasures from the secret realm first? Why do we have to rush back so soon?"

They were originally a small group.

Apart from Captain Yun Fan, who has the cultivation level of the late stage of the fifth rank.

Vice Captain Liu Tianjiao and Huang Hui also possessed the mid-stage of the fifth rank.

The rest of the team members are all fourth-tier ability users, including those with mental, elemental, and healing abilities.

The team's composition was perfectly coordinated.

Even if they encounter a fifth-tier, fully-fledged superhuman, they still have the ability to fight back.

But this time, the trip to Haicheng had only been going on for a short time.

Liu Tianjiao received a phone call and then informed everyone that she needed to return to Haicheng first.

As the vice-captain of the team, and also possessing offensive superpowers.

If Liu Tianjiao were to leave, the team's overall strength would drop by half.

So after discussing it with Yun Fan, they decided to return to Haicheng together.

Liu Tianjiao's eyes were gloomy, and he continued walking without stopping, speaking in a cold voice.

"Just go back when we tell you to! Stop with all this nonsense!"

She was also very depressed.

The team had located the secret realm as early as half a month ago.

As a result, Liu Boda developed a heart problem, and worried about her younger brother's safety, she had no choice but to return to Haicheng.

This also led to the temporary postponement of the exploration of the secret realm.

After Liu Boda received his heart transplant, he did not experience any rejection reaction.

So a banquet was held for Liu Boda that evening.

The next morning, Liu Tianjiao hurriedly left Haicheng.

Just now, she received a message from Liu Chu'an.

I told her to rush back to the Liu family as quickly as possible, and then gave her a brief account of what had happened to the Liu family recently.

Liu Chu'an was worried that Liu Tianjiao, who was hunting strange beasts alone, might be attacked and killed by them.

After all, judging from last night's battle, Liu Tianjiao might not be able to stop his opponent.

Upon learning that the Liu family was being targeted, Liu Tianjiao was unwilling to return.

The treasure was right before their eyes, but the matter of the Liu family kept delaying it.

However, she dared not disobey Liu Chu'an, and could only lead the team back in frustration.

The other members of the team had different thoughts.

Although she dared not show it on her face, she harbored some resentment towards Liu Tianjiao in her heart.

Especially Huang Hui, another vice-captain in the team.

Also an S-class ability user, his strength is only slightly inferior to Liu Tianjiao's.

However, her prestige and popularity within the team were far inferior to Liu Tianjiao's.

Besides the difference in their abilities, another reason is that Liu Tianjiao is a beautiful young woman.

Perhaps compared to Liu Nanxing, a stunning beauty who brought ruin to the country.

Despite the vast difference in appearance, she was still considered a striking beauty.

Huang Hui has an ordinary appearance, nothing special about her.

If I had to praise her, I could only say that she has a great temperament.

Having finally found an opportunity, Huang Hui couldn't help but speak sarcastically.

"She's the eldest daughter of the Liu family. You'll do whatever she's told!"

Liu Tianjiao felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this.

Given her arrogant and domineering personality, she would never tolerate Huang Hui and immediately retorted angrily.

"Shut up! Something urgent has happened in my family, so I have to go back."

If you don't want to come back to town with me, then you can get out of the group now.

The tension between the two women escalated, and Yun Fan, as the team leader, hurriedly stepped in to stand between them.

"Okay, okay, stop arguing."

"It's not worth it. We can just wait a couple of days and then go out to explore the secret realm again."

Despite it being a perfectly normal attempt to mediate a fight, Huang Hui's expression grew increasingly grim.

Even when she was unable to join the team due to other commitments, Yun Fan and Liu Tianjiao would still go to explore the secret realm.

This time it was Liu Tianjiao's turn, so the whole team chose to return to the city, clearly showing that they were protecting Liu Tianjiao.

Yun Fan kept looking at Liu Tianjiao, his eyes filled with tenderness and affection.

But when he looks at Huang Hui, he always has a cold, aloof, and arrogant demeanor.

Liu Tianjiao snorted coldly, not wanting to get entangled with her on this matter.

The atmosphere between the teams grew increasingly silent as they tried to salvage their relationship in silence.

Apart from Liu Tianjiao, no one else knew what had happened in Haicheng.

Since the alien beasts took over Earth, most communication devices can only be used within protected areas.

But leaving the protected area and entering the wild where strange beasts roam freely.

Only a handful of communication tools are available to allow people to stay in touch even when they are hundreds of miles apart.

And those communication devices were all extremely precious items.

Even ordinary fifth-tier ability users simply cannot afford it.

Aside from Liu Tianjiao, who comes from the Liu family, there is no way he can receive news from Haicheng.

Everyone else was completely unaware of what had happened in Haicheng.

However, they traveled a little further.

Several streaks of fire shot out from the woods ahead.

Yun Fan had the highest cultivation level and was the first to react to the sudden attack.

He let out a low growl, and his entire body sprouted translucent hair.

An icy aura erupted, instantly transforming it into a humanoid sphinx.
