On that day, after Sun Muchen fainted during his battle with the sea monster...
Sun Muchen remained unconscious for three days before waking up, and on the very night he did, a strange thing happened.
According to Lin Han, he discovered that his uncle had not eaten anything since he returned home. Although they ate together every morning, noon and night, one night Lin Han found that his uncle took something that looked like a plastic bag out of his mouth, which contained the food he had eaten during the day.
But what kind of person would take out all the food they're eating?
After Lin Han told Sun Muchen about this situation, that very night, Sun Muchen conducted a magical survey of the entire Hope Village, and the result was...
More than half of the people in Hope Village do not receive any related energy feedback.
Sun Muchen immediately realized the seriousness of the problem. Moreover, according to the list provided by Lin Han, these people had all been to the Holy City to study or work. Combined with what Lin Han said about his uncle's inability to eat normally, a bold idea sprouted in Sun Muchen's mind.
These people who don't provide energy feedback...
They're all dead!
They were simply using some method by the Holy City that allowed them to move freely even though they had no vital signs. However, their facial expressions were stiff, their eyes were empty, and they even looked somewhat dazed. The main reason for this problem was that these people were dead!
This question was verified when the sea creatures came again later.
It was a white-armored soldier being attacked by a sea beast. The sea beast's claws tore open the white armor, revealing the soldier's true face beneath. That person actually had the same face as Uncle Lin Han.
When the sea monster's claws scratched Uncle Lin Han's face, no blood flowed out, but claw marks were left behind, which is a phenomenon that occurs when blood congeals!
Sun Muchen understood in an instant that these people who claimed to be going to the Holy City to work were very likely turned into White Armor Soldiers. They were already dead, but in order to keep people's hearts at ease, they would use special methods to keep these people active and then return to their respective homes, creating the feeling that they were safe and sound!
The villagers who were still alive were kept in the dark and knew nothing about it.
They still regard the holy city as a god and take pride in their family members going there to work and study.
It was during that sea monster attack that Sha Si and the others returned, led by the Holy Envoy.
Sha Si found the Tomorrow Task Force's vehicle. They had replenished their weapons and equipment, and under the continuous bombardment of Zhang Jian and Li Shuo's powerful firepower, the sea monster was successfully repelled.
That was the time.
Sha Si met with Sun Muchen.
One is Wang Lan's older brother, and the other is Nan Chen's captain.
The two hit it off immediately.
However, Sun Muchen did not completely trust Sha Si.
After Sun Muchen used his magical energy to probe Sha Si's brain multiple times, Sha Si's head would involuntarily ache for a period of time, and his mouth would twitch intermittently. He even thought he had contracted some strange disease.
Of the villagers who had gone out with him, only Ding Taishun remained.
Sun Muchen tried every possible method to deal with Ding Taishun before finally making a decision.
Wang Lan and Nan Chen have gone missing.
During a battle with a green insect, the insect evolved by devouring its companions, growing larger and sprouting wings from its back. It then grabbed the two of them and carried them into the sky, and then... disappeared without a trace.
After that, Sun Muchen used her own magical energy to explore many times, which made her more and more adept at using magic.
She seems to be able to do many things with magic, such as precognition and psychic abilities.
She kept searching for Wang Lan's location. She could clearly sense Wang Lan's presence and was certain that Wang Lan was not dead, but she could not pinpoint Wang Lan's exact location.
She could even sense that Wang Lan's life force briefly weakened again before suddenly becoming exceptionally strong, like a candle that was about to go out suddenly bursting into flames. However, despite the ever-growing life force, Sun Muchen was still unable to pinpoint Wang Lan's exact location, as if a layer of mist was always shrouding Wang Lan, making him impossible to see or understand.
No matter how hard Sun Muchen tried to activate his magic, he couldn't penetrate the fog.
This layer of fog is also very powerful!
Sun Muchen's magic can detect everyone's energy. Even as powerful as the Tree God, she can use magic to detect the energy within the Tree God. However, this mist is something she cannot even touch.
"elder brother..."
At night, Sun Muchen lay in bed, softly murmuring to himself.
now...
Wang Lan and the others were still fighting hard. With the combined efforts of the two men and the frog, most of the stone statues had been defeated, leaving only a dozen or so.
Arken's mouth was now severely swollen. His attack method was limited to using his tongue to whip and lash out repeatedly. Although this was powerful, the stone statue's defense was also formidable, making it very difficult for Arken to fight. Under Wang Lan's constant pressure, Arken had no way to escape and could only endure the numbness and pain in his tongue as he continued to fight.
At this moment, Wang Lan and Nan Chen could only say that they were barely holding on.
While dealing with one or two stone statues is easy, fighting against dozens of them is extremely difficult.
Although both of them gained a qualitative improvement in strength through the fruits and rare mushrooms here, the series of fierce battles still left them exhausted.
