The humans in the Alliance are in chaos.

There were less than 40 students from the Union University sent by the Empire to investigate the footprints, and more than a dozen of them gathered here.

Everyone tried to leave the giant's place in a panic, fearing that they would fall into the quicksand and suffocate.

They fled further away, not having the confidence to confront the giant head-on with their weak bodies. But when the crowd of birds and beasts gathered and dispersed, Gu Xingmiao's calmness in the face of danger became even more striking.

But some people still fell into it.

The man's face was pale, and most of his body was swallowed by the quicksand formed by the footprints. He shook his hands vigorously and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Save me——"

“Save me—!”

"You can't move much when you're engulfed in quicksand! You'll sink deeper, like in a swamp..."

"It's over, this man is not going to send it."

"Oh my god! I haven't recovered from what just happened yet. How did things develop to this point? How can humans defeat giants?"

"That's not just any giant. Didn't you notice that giant was chasing the sun?"

Everyone wanted to move forward, but they looked hesitant and did not dare to approach.

They had no suitable old things to pull the man out, and even they themselves felt anxious about this unchanging terrain.

Gu Xingmiao happened to be nearby. Just as she was about to use a bow and arrow to pull someone, another crisp and clear voice rang out.

"catch--!"

One of the Alliance humans threw out a strange weapon that looked like a rope and tightly grabbed the man's abdomen.

Gu Xingmiao tilted his head slightly and met a woman with a cold face.

But the quicksand was too heavy, and she couldn't pull the person in the quicksand by herself. Gu Xingmiao and the other alliance members also helped and joined the team pulling the rope.

"This rope looks pretty strong..."

"Am I the only one worried that the rope will break and everyone will fall in?"

"That rope is definitely not a simple rope. Maybe it's one of those 'old things' that always have special powers. It can't be some immortal-locking rope, right? Haha!"

After struggling for several minutes, the man was finally pulled up by everyone.

Everyone was panting, but the man was grateful for having survived. If his companions had not helped him, he would have been swallowed up.

After pulling the person up, Gu Xingmiao fell into deep thought.

Why was I so brave at that time to jump directly into the sand river? I didn’t seem to consider whether I would be suffocated. I just thought that there must be a way out in the sand river.

Gu Xingmiao: “…”

Perhaps, if I had a suitable weapon to pull Yue Chuliang out at that time, the two of us would not have entered the Honghuang copy, but we would not have been able to obtain the Sun-Shooting Bow.

Gu Xingmiao looked at the rope with a strange expression, but she was still staring at it even after the other party had put it away. Her fiery gaze caught the owner's attention.

"Something?" The woman raised her eyebrows slightly.

Gu Xingmiao slowly shook his head, smiled friendly, and then looked away.

The rope doesn't actually look sturdy, and it even feels like cotton rope. However, the clever way it is tied with a lasso makes it hard to believe that it is just a simple rope.

Wong Tai Sin came up with the idea when he saw the giant gradually moving away.

But it was firmly held down, and she whispered, "Don't be discovered, or I can't protect you. They love to eat weasel meat."

Wong Tai Sin: “…” What a crude trick!

Gu Xingmiao was clearly worried that he would cause her trouble.

Thinking that he still needed the other party's help, Huang Daxian thought about it and decided to back off.

"Wait, why can't it be the Immortal Locking Rope?! Even the Sun-Shooting Bow can appear, so what's wrong with our Immortal Locking Rope appearing?!"

"But this rope looks too plain, doesn't it?"

"But the host's bow and arrow looks really plain and simple!!!"

Indeed, Gu Xingmiao's bow and arrow looked ordinary on the surface.

“…”

The barrage was silent for a moment, and then everyone continued to find topics to talk about.

"Although I don't think that thing is the Immortal Binding Rope, but..." Qin Ye pushed his glasses up and said in a low voice, "In ancient China, there was a kind of rope with two balls tied to it called a cotton rope lasso. It's somewhat similar to this, and it has also been derived into the Immortal Binding Rope in various stories."

Everyone in the research institute looked at it, and when they compared the picture Qin Ye had adjusted on the big screen with the live broadcast again, their eyes were filled with waves.

Not very similar, it seems to be——

But can such an ordinary cotton and linen rope be considered a second-hand item?

People became a little confused about the definition of old things.

It could be the Sun-Shooting Bow, a divine weapon that does not exist in 22nd century China;

It can also be a cultural relic that existed in Chinese history, such as the Three Years of the Rising Pot;

It is more likely to be an ordinary or even unremarkable small item, such as a piece of paper or cotton or linen rope.

What exactly are old things?

As the giant walked away, the surroundings finally returned to calm. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and their tense nerves relaxed a little.

Gu Xingmiao watched the giant leave with regret, but he also knew that if he faced Kuafu directly, it would be like an ant pushing an elephant, so he did not insist on following him.

You will encounter it eventually.

She thought that since so many students from the alliance were here, she might be able to learn some useful information through communication with everyone.

Just by chatting, Gu Xingmiao confirmed what Yue Chuliang said.

No one in the alliance knew that the giant running before them was Kuafu, which means that before Gu Xingmiao, no one had indeed opened the door to the prehistoric world.

And now, the gate of the prehistoric world seemed to have opened a gap for future humans. Gu Xingmiao didn't know if it had anything to do with the Sun-Shooting Bow he had taken from inside.
