Xie Zhou can now travel the world in his mind, but his physical body seems to be controlled by an invisible demonic claw, unable to move at all.
"What on earth is going on? System, come out here, what happened?"
"System...system..."
But no matter how many times Xie Zhou called out to the system in her heart, this unscrupulous system never appeared and never answered her questions, which made her a little angry.
Recalling what had just happened, it was all in an instant. She only vaguely remembered seeing a figure, and then she couldn't move at all. Who had set a trap for her? Were there other people lying in ambush nearby?
The sun shone brightly in the sky, and Xie Zhou felt hot and restless under the scorching heat. She was extremely anxious and wanted to lose face. If she found out who had made her behave like this, she would definitely curse that person to death. However, she was unaware that the situation around her was changing.
Time passed second by second. Although Xie Zhou's body could not move, she could still use her mental and magical power. She could do it with her own will. She released her mental power to observe why she suddenly could not move.
However, she didn't find anything strange, which made her even more puzzled. She was still trying to figure out how to remove the immobilization spell from her body, as if she had been hit by this spell. But she just couldn't figure out if there were other people hiding around her besides the powerful ape that she had just subdued.
There was no trace of them at all. What happened? And who was that figure? We couldn't make out their appearance.
As doubts arose one after another, Xie Zhou went from being anxious to indifferent, but she still hoped that the suddenly disappeared system could answer her questions.
She vowed to shout in her heart just one last time, "System!...System..."
As expected, there was still no response. This unscrupulous system had really screwed me over. It was the system that instigated me to complete this mission and obtain the essence blood and crystal core of the Mighty Vajra Ape.
Alright, the black crystal core that I had obtained by chance seemed to be summoned by some kind of power. With a "whoosh," it appeared and even transformed into an indistinct outline.
But Xie Zhou can't see that figure anymore. Where did it go?
She could guess that the figure was definitely the culprit that had immobilized her.
Just as she was feeling distressed, her surroundings began to change. It was no longer the forest, but a chaotic space of consciousness, but she still couldn't move.
Even her facial expression was completely hidden, which was torture for Xie Zhou. She really wanted to move her feet.
The figure reappeared before him, its features still obscured. A beam of light flew into his forehead and vanished, and the surroundings returned to normal.
But just as that spiritual light entered her body, she fainted. Her body was finally able to move again, but then everything went black and she collapsed to the ground.
It turned out that the figure had left a mark on her body and then disappeared immediately.
A red flame appeared on her forehead and then disappeared.
The system also spoke up, "Xie Zhou... Xie Zhou... Wake up!"
"Wake up..."
Xie Zhou felt a dull pain in her head, probably from hitting something when she fell. She shook her head slightly, opened her eyes slightly, and a hazy light appeared before her eyes, which looked quite dreamlike.
The system urged again, "Wake up... Xie Zhou!"
Xie Zhou gradually regained his senses, covered his head, and got up.
Recalling how the unscrupulous system hadn't responded at all when she was immobilized, she was furious. She immediately adopted a shrewish demeanor and said in a sarcastic tone, "Hmph! I wonder who was being inconsiderate when they should have been concerned? You unscrupulous system, why didn't you answer my question earlier!"
"Um... I don't know what happened either. It's like the signal was blocked. I can't connect to you anymore. Don't be angry. Getting angry is bad for your health. But I know what's going on now."
"It seems that something was planted in you by that black crystal core. Think carefully, wasn't there a special light that entered your body before I recovered and you were able to move again?"
"Hmm... I understand that, but what exactly was that light? I didn't feel anything unusual in my body, and it didn't hurt?"
"Please check it first."
"Um……"
Xie Zhou then found a shady spot, began to meditate and regulate his breathing, and checked his physical condition.
After a thorough examination, no abnormalities were found. Every vein was normal, and there was no sign of illness or being harmed by any strange magic. After confirming that everything was correct,
She frowned slightly and asked the system.
"System, tell me what just happened to me? Did that mysterious figure really plant something on me?"
“I will examine your physical condition and give you a perfect explanation, but it will take some time.”
"Um…"
"It's time to go find Senior Brother Song and the others."
He dusted himself off, sheathed his spirit sword, and got up to leave this shattered land riddled with ravines.
Meanwhile, on Song Wu's side...
One of the junior brothers saw that there was no more movement ahead, so it seemed that the monster had been dealt with by the senior sister.
He then asked, "Senior Brother Song, shall we go find Senior Sister Xie now? I don't see any signs of a fight ahead."
"Don't rush. Although two hours have passed, we can't act rashly. Let me scout ahead first."
