Three days later.
Luo Xuan, under Jiu Fanggui's orders, went to investigate the truth behind Chang Le's death.
Having not had time to investigate thoroughly beforehand, Jiu Fanggui and the others always felt that this accident was too strange.
Logically, when Chang'an Academy chose the Snow Viewing Secret Realm, they would have thoroughly investigated the situation of the alien species in the Western Regions Old Ruins. However, this alien species frenzy broke out without warning, and coincidentally, it ran into a group of students who had just finished their academy assessment.
Moreover, Jiu Fanggui spotted a name among the list of the dead:
Ying Shaochuan.
The son of Ying Sheng's cousin.
Ying Sheng controls the central government of Hua'an City. He has only one daughter, but she is not particularly talented. His nephew, Ying Shaochuan, has recently distinguished himself and holds an extraordinary position in the Ying family.
The appearance of this name has made the truth behind this accident even more unpredictable.
After several days of investigation, Luo Xuan indeed discovered the secret behind the accident.
This outbreak of alien species was not an accident.
It was a conspiracy between remnants of the old faction and a group within the Qin family, led by Qin Yang, who were hostile to the Ying family. They deliberately instigated a surge of alien species during this assessment to kill Ying Shaochuan. Coincidentally, Chang Le and the others were in Ying Shaochuan's team.
The accident wasn't aimed at Chang Le and his group; they were caught up in the political infighting.
During the time they were busy preparing for the experiment, the Ying clan, the Qin clan, and other aristocratic families had already had several fierce conflicts.
Furthermore, based on the information obtained from the investigation and the traces found at the scene, Luo Xuan reconstructed what happened to Chang Le and the others that day.
On the morning of September 15th—
As the morning sun rises, the snow-capped mountains glow with golden light.
Chang Le, Huan Bo, Mei Shishi, and Song Xinglin, a team of thirteen, shared a car with three teachers as the vehicle traveled along the snowy border highway.
After ten consecutive days of trials in the secret realm, problems arose after the trials, causing nearly two more days of disruption. Originally scheduled to return to Hua'an City on the 13th, they will not be able to go back until noon today. Everyone looked exhausted.
"Jiu Le." The person in the seat in front suddenly turned his head and called out to the drowsy Chang Le through the gap in his voice.
Chang Le looked up and saw a handsome, dashing, and extraordinary young man in the seat in front of him.
Ying Shaochuan, a rising star among the Ying family's talented young men.
"Thank you for your help in the secret realm," Ying Shaochuan said with a light laugh.
Chang Le paused for a moment, then shook his head and said in a low voice, "I was just trying to pass the test smoothly, it's nothing."
During the Snow Viewing Secret Realm assessment, Ying Shaochuan was maliciously targeted by another group. Chang Le happened to pass by and originally didn't want to get involved, but the group arrogantly tried to steal Chang Le's equipment as well. Chang Le wasn't going to tolerate that, and in no time, together with Ying Shaochuan who seized the opportunity to fight back, they snatched the equipment from the group.
Ying Shaochuan smiled and said, "I should also thank you. Jiu Le, please take good care of me at Chang'an Academy in the future."
Chang Le replied politely, "Thank you very much..."
Before he could finish speaking, the car suddenly shook violently, and Chang Le's shoulder slammed into the car window.
Huanbo and the other two were awakened.
Teacher Wu suddenly stood up: "What happened?"
The driver in the driver's seat suddenly sprang to his feet and fired three shots with a pocket pistol.
A shot hit Teacher Wu's arm, but it was stuck on the surface by the bulging and contracting muscles.
A shot hit Chang Le's car seat, piercing the seat back.
A shot shattered the car window, sending glass shards flying.
Immediately afterwards, a teacher surnamed Cai suddenly activated his flying blades, which flew in all directions, plunging the car into chaos.
Teacher Wu stepped forward and apprehended the driver.
Another teacher, Lin, stopped Teacher Cai from suddenly injuring someone. After a brief moment of panic, the students unbuckled their seatbelts and huddled together.
But just seconds later, just as they realized there were thugs among the teachers, a deafening roar came from the horizon.
The towering, sun-blocking snow-capped mountains are covered in snow that cascades down like a thousand-mile waterfall. Countless strange beasts and exotic creatures cross the high mountains and rush in like a tidal wave following the snow waterfall.
Alien Frenzy!
The moment their gaze fell upon the horde of alien species sweeping across the mountain, streaks of fiery red light suddenly pierced through the swarm, falling first under the influence of inertia and gravity.
The sky is ablaze with countless meteors and fiery streaks, a beautiful sight that can also be deadly.
The two teachers' expressions changed drastically: "Run—"
The moment those streaks of red light appeared in the sky, Chang Le felt his hair stand on end.
The name of that thing flashed through my mind:
Alien - [Bombardment].
That wasn't light; it was the afterimages cast by living things the size of fists.
[Bombardment], a spherical mutant, is sexually violent. It will immediately self-destruct when it encounters an enemy or is intercepted while in a high-speed state!
The dense fire-attribute energy within their bodies will instantly compress and explode, generating temperatures of several hundred degrees Celsius. The power will be amplified during the group self-destruction.
They have a lifespan of only a month or so, but their reproductive capacity is astonishing, and when they are enraged, they indiscriminately slaughter wherever they go.
Whenever a group of [bombardment] appears, the casualties are bound to be devastating.
The sky was filled with bombs falling like thousands of bombs being dropped.
In an instant, a section of the marginal road several hundred meters long, along with vehicles in the middle of the road, was engulfed by the violent explosion.
The snowmelt was scarlet and viscous.
Of the seventeen people in the car, only a few still retained human form.
Chang Le was bleeding from his mouth and nose, his head was buzzing, and his mind was blank.
His body was covered in countless pieces of flesh and blood, with a few scattered pieces of emerald green scales stained red.
Those are Huanbo's scales.
The moment the bombardment occurred, Chang Le decisively activated his [Instant Teleportation] ability to the fullest extent, taking the three people beside him with him and leaving the vehicle.
Due to his vigilance and abilities, Chang Le has gotten into the habit of marking a teleportation point every few kilometers during this period.
The impact point was now two kilometers away, carrying three people. Even with Chang Le exerting all his strength, he could only teleport a hundred meters before collapsing to the ground. The explosion and impact followed immediately, showing no signs of abating.
