This sound was like a starting point, and the surrounding crowd immediately cheered. They roared loudly, as if they could shake a hole in the sky.
Liang Siling looked at the scene before her with satisfaction, her eyes filled with contentment... That's right, that's it, she should be the center of attention, she should be standing at the highest position in the Xiyu base!
At a corner far behind, Zhong Ran stood in the shadows, his face grim as he looked at Liang Siling standing in the middle of the crowd. He took a few steps back and lit a cigarette. "An eyesore of a woman."
"Dad, if you don't do something soon, this Xiyu base might really be taken over by Liang Siling!" Zhong Jue gritted his teeth and walked beside Zhong Ran. His left sleeve was empty and swaying, indicating that he was already a useless person.
Although Zhong Jue is indeed a superhuman, he is only a weak earth-type superhuman. He simply cannot restore an arm that has been completely torn off.
Having worked in the search department for so many years, if his father hadn't been the head of the search department, he probably wouldn't have even lived this long.
It's a pity that he finally managed to kick his father out and become the head of the search department, but now he's a useless person... Thinking of this, Zhong Jue's eyes became even colder.
Zhong Ran took a deep drag on his cigarette, seemingly making a decision. After a moment of silence, he finally couldn't resist Zhong's stubborn plea. He took a deep breath and said calmly, as if he had just made up his mind, "The people in the search department... are all in your hands. You can handle it yourself."
"Thank you, Dad!" Zhong Jue suddenly smiled, and that momentary, ferocious smile even frightened Zhong Ran.
The person in front of him was indeed his son, but why did he feel so cold and terrifying?
Ever since Zhong Jue lost an arm, his personality has become somewhat strange... Zhong Ran turned around, concealing the worry in his eyes.
In the corner where Zhong Jue had walked away, a figure slowly emerged from a nearby alley. He looked at the backs of Zhong Jue and Zhong Ran, his fists clenched tightly.
It's not the right time yet... He can't do it right now...
He glanced up at Liang Siling, who was surrounded by a crowd behind him, sneered for a moment, and then disappeared back into the crowd.
Ji Yueyao made him stay here to give him a chance to take revenge... He couldn't let her down, so he had to be patient until the day he could kill that bastard with his own hands.
...
At the central edge of the Forbidden Forest, Ji Yueyao was shivering like a squirrel, hugging her knees... Don't ask her why she was like a squirrel!
Her clothes were already almost completely damaged in the battle with the spider-like birds, and the temperature got lower and lower as she went deeper into the Forbidden Forest... So in order to keep herself from shivering from the cold, she could only curl up into a ball and eat something.
Fortunately, her injuries have almost healed, and apart from the mud still on her body, there are no scars left.
Zhu Mu draped his coat over Ji Yueyao, while he himself wore only a thin shirt. There was nothing he could do; after all, this superhuman wasn't afraid of the cold.
"Here we go again." Ji Yueyao suddenly put down the food in her hand, sighed softly, and lowered her body.
Seeing this, Zhu Mu immediately understood, sighed, and also lay down on the thick branch.
Which wave is this?
Soon, a rustling sound came from under the tree. Zhu Mu opened his eyes and looked down at the tree. Sure enough, he saw a large group of aliens crawling behind them. The aliens in this place were at least strong-type aliens. Although they were not afraid, they still tried their best not to encounter such a large group.
As they entered the central part of the Forbidden Forest, a large area behind them—or rather, the entire outer perimeter of the Forbidden Forest—collapsed to varying degrees. Accompanied by a violent roar, this attracted the attention of many powerful alien species in the central area. They all rushed outwards and began to prey on the homeless, weaker alien species.
"Captain... our entry into the Forbidden Forest has caused quite a stir this time." Zhu Mu, feeling a bit bored, turned to Ji Yueyao and whispered, "I think the entire central part of the Forbidden Forest seems to be in turmoil."
Ji Yueyao rolled her eyes at Zhu Mu and didn't bother to say anything.
Honestly, she was incredibly tired right now. If I could describe it... she was in an extremely lethargic state.
"Alright, let's keep going." After a large group of people rushed past the tree, Ji Yueyao stood up with the help of the tree. She looked at the dense, sticky leaves around her and wiped the sticky grime off her face.
Ji Yueyao landed lightly on the ground, glanced around, and then quickly ran forward. Zhu Mu followed closely behind. Before leaving, Zhu Mu casually glanced behind him, then continued running forward with a slight tremor, hoping that those powerful aliens wouldn't turn around and pounce on them again.
Ji Yueyao used the sound waves constantly entering her mind to determine where there were unusual creatures around her, and avoided them just in time. After all, with her current physical strength, she didn't want to be chased all the way through the forest by a large group of powerful strange birds.
Moreover, given the current situation, she needs to conserve her energy as much as possible, as she doesn't even dare to think about how many dangers lie ahead.
The road was getting harder and harder to walk on. The ground was covered with twisted tree roots like vines, and the oily substance on the roots made it impossible to put your foot down. If you did, you would definitely slip.
"Hmm...?" Ji Yueyao, who was trying to avoid the tree roots, suddenly felt a sharp pain in her head, and then her legs went weak and she fell to the ground.
"Captain!" The fall startled Zhu Mu. Ignoring the tree roots, he stumbled over and quickly helped Ji Yueyao up. "Are you alright, Captain?"
Ji Yueyao shook her head and quickly stood up, but the next moment she suddenly realized that her right hand seemed to be unable to move and she couldn't exert any strength at all.
It was as if she didn't have a right hand at all; her nerves couldn't detect its existence at all!
With a slightly darkened gaze, Ji Yueyao immediately pulled her right hand over with her left hand and pinched her right arm hard. The pain was faintly transmitted to her brain, and then slowly amplified until she felt real pain. Her right hand was then able to move again.
What exactly happened just now? Ji Yueyao frowned in confusion, but unexpectedly, Zhu Mu's big face was right in front of her.
"Captain, are you... alright?" Zhu Mu stared at Ji Yueyao with wide eyes, looking worried.
With a look of disdain, Ji Yueyao pushed the bamboo and wood aside, rolled her eyes, and leaped over a tree root. "It's okay, don't worry."
Watching Ji Yueyao move around so efficiently, Zhu Mu finally felt relieved. Thankfully, the captain was alright.
Zhu Mu was relieved, but Ji Yueyao frowned deeply. Was her body... already beginning to break down? (To be continued.)
