Among them, Ghost Immortal Wu Ling was the first to leave the team, the first to lose contact, and the first to fall.
He had not even lived to see the Star Alliance begin its conquest of the Heavenly Demon Star Domain. After leaving Liang Ji and the others' Dragon Snake Squad, he had joined another team exploring the Outer Domain. After that, all trace of him vanished in the Outer Domain Star Sea. He never returned, and had likely perished out there.
After all, the Outer Domain Star Sea was just as full of dangers. Before the full-scale war erupted, some Outer Domain exploration teams went missing, lost contact, or perished there every year.
Ghost Immortal Wu Ling and the exploration team he later joined were only one such case.
Over the years, Liang Ji and the others' Dragon Snake Squad had never suffered any mishaps while exploring the Outer Domain. Part of that was good fortune, but it was also because they had grown more capable and powerful.
As for the two remaining old teammates, Lü Yuetong and Xia Wujiu, they both came from powerful companies and organizations like Bai Cao Group and Shan De Lou. Back then, they had joined the Dragon Snake Squad as representatives of those two investing companies.
That had allowed them to survive a little longer.
When the Star Alliance began its conquest of the Heavenly Demon Star Domain, both teammates left the Dragon Snake Squad and returned to their respective companies to take part in the Pioneer War there.
Later, when Liang Ji, Peng Yue, Chu Yue, Wu Shan, Peng Yue's Grandmother, and Peng Xuanding formed a new Dragon Snake Squad and joined the Pioneer War, they worked with those two companies and stayed in touch with Lü Yuetong and Xia Wujiu.
