The Bizarre Time Storm (4K)

"It still hurts quite a bit," Yang Yu said as he stood up, looking at the surrounding grassland filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers under the bright sunshine.

Above them was a huge sphere of light, hanging hundreds of thousands of meters in the air, constantly emitting light and heat.

It is clearly daytime in the Shilan World.

At night, this enormous sphere of light disappears, plunging the Shilan World into darkness.

In the Shilan World, a day is equivalent to 30 hours in Earth time, and a night is also 30 hours.

Looking around, it seemed there was no danger at the moment, but Yang Yu knew that this was only an appearance. Many dangers in the Shilan World would come unexpectedly, and once he entered this place, he could not be careless and needed to be vigilant at all times.

At this moment, Fengling Yin and the others also stood up. "The gravity here is much more exaggerated than on Lan Star, almost 4300 times that of Earth!"

"The gravity is incredible! My Mental Force only covers less than one-thousandth of the outside world. Even at full power, it can only cover less than one thousand meters around me!" Fengling Yue exclaimed.

"Such a small range of Mental Force is insignificant compared to the vast Shilan World. No wonder a single mission takes several years." Jarvis is also Star Level 9 Spirit Reader, and his Mental Force strength is similar to that of Fengling Yue.

"Let's get out of here quickly, there are many more Adventurer coming down." Yang Yu looked around. Although his Mental Force was nearly ten times stronger than Fengling Yue and the others, its coverage area was still insignificant compared to the Shilan World.

If things get dangerous, Yang Yu might not be affected, but his men would be in serious trouble.

"Yes, Master," Jarvis and the others replied respectfully.

"We are currently located in the northwest of the Shilan World, more than 30 million kilometers away from the Core Region where Shilan Crystal exist, and more than 100 million kilometers away from the nearest edge area where Storm Beast are active. Let's go to the closer Core Region first and collect all the Shilan Crystal," Yang Yu said.

"Judging from the map, there are many routes to get there, but the shortest route requires crossing a jungle of considerable danger, where a ferocious Fierce Beast called the Nether Beast has long been entrenched. It is a unique Fierce Beast born in the Shilan World. Although the strongest of them is only at the Star Level 9, they all live in groups. Once entangled, it is difficult for ordinary Adventurer to survive."

"However, with our team's capabilities, crossing this jungle safely shouldn't be too difficult. To save time, we'll take this route."

Yang Yu said, then flew at high speed at a low altitude, one or two meters off the ground, with Fengling Yue and the others quickly following behind.

In a way, Yang Yu and his group were quite lucky; they didn't randomly land in one of the four dangerous locations within the Shilan World.

According to the intelligence I bought in Shilan City before.

These four dangerous places are:

The most dangerous mountain range is the Wailing Mountain Range, which stretch for over 100 million kilometers from east to west, dividing the Shilan World in two. Countless strange life forms unique to this world live within it, many of which are at the Universe Level or above. It is extremely dangerous for Star Level being to fall into it.

The second most dangerous storm is the Death Storm. This storm mainly appears in the central Shilan Plain, but it also has a considerable chance of appearing in other places. In the early stages, it is not too bad and does not even threaten life forms of the Star Level 1. However, when the storm is fully formed, even Universe Level powerhouse will be in great danger if he gets caught in it, and if he is unlucky, he may even perish directly.

The third most dangerous type is the Annihilation Ray, which is mainly distributed in the Core Region of Shilan World, where the Shilan Crystal exists. These Annihilation Ray contain the Time Law and Light Law, and fall randomly in the central Core Region like raindrops. Each ray can easily kill life below the Universe Level. However, such rays have a burst pattern within a certain period of time. As long as you observe carefully and are not too unlucky, you can avoid them.

The fourth most dangerous is the 'Time Storm,' formed from the Time Origin Energy within the Shilan World. It contains the Shilan World Lord's insights into the Time Law and can randomly appear throughout the Shilan World. Those swept by this storm will not suffer direct danger, but will only enter a state of time chaos, their souls falling into a coma, after which they will recover on their own. However, because the Shilan World is filled with ferocious Fierce Beast and other Adventurer participating in the assessment, if one falls into a coma and does not wake up in time, it is still very dangerous.

These four are dangers that have always existed in the Shilan World, and you can see them for free in the mission details.

Besides these four dangers, there are other dangers that arise by chance. Although the Shilan World is now without a master, the world itself will evolve many dangers, which may not be weaker than the previous four, so we cannot be careless.

On the vast grassland.

Yang Yu and his group flew at high speed, skimming close to the ground.

At Yang Yu's suggestion, the thirteen of them split into six teams to continue their journey.

Yang Yu led one team with the Fengling Yue Sisters, while the other teams each consisted of two people, flying three hundred meters apart.

This is to prevent a random, sudden 'Time Storm' from sweeping them all away, so that even if someone gets caught in the Time Storm, there will always be others who are conscious and can rescue the trapped person in time.

After all, Time Storm usually only sweeps across a radius of one kilometer at most, and in the worst-case scenario, several members of Yang Yu's team would be outside the Time Storm.

This is also an advantage of having more people.

This can effectively prevent the entire operation from being wiped out at once.

And so, Yang Yu and his companions flew at breakneck speed along the grassland, one after the other.

It wasn't that they didn't want to ascend to higher altitudes to travel, but rather that there were still a large number of birds and Fierce Beast in the Shilan World. They were all in groups, and although they weren't a huge threat, being surrounded would still waste a lot of time.

Although Yang Yu wasn't in a hurry to complete the mission, it was always good to spend less time on the road.

"Master, the Shilan World." Fengling Yue, Star Level 9 Spirit Reader, said as she flew alongside Yang Yu.

"And it looks really beautiful. This is the first time I've ever seen such a vast grassland, except for the Pampas Grassland on Cangming Planet."

At this moment, Fengling Yue was wearing a blue Alloy Battle Suit and stepping on Tier 3 Top-Grade Spiritual Weapon. The powerful Psychic Amplitude made her speed quite fast.

"Yeah, I don't think it's that dangerous at all. The intelligence reports described it as so dangerous. It feels like they're just trying to scare us," another female Martial Artist in the group said.

"Don't let your guard down! As World Lord World specifically used to test Apprentice Mercenary, the Lord's World is not as simple as you think. We just got lucky and randomly landed on the Flower Language Plain."

Yang Yu whispered, "Although there's no overt danger right now, that 'Time Storm' is no joke. Even though Yang Yu's soul is strong and his will is extraordinary, I'm not sure if he can withstand it."

If you can't withstand it, or if it's very difficult to withstand it, and other Fierce Beast happen to appear nearby, then the outcome won't be pleasant.

Currently, Moyun Vine Teng is only at the Star Level 9. If Yang Yu falls into a state of temporal chaos and loses consciousness, he will still be in danger when facing attacks from a large number of Fierce Beast.

"Yes, Master, we will be careful!" Jarvis, who was more vigilant, shouted. The slaves behind him could hear him too.

"Very good, everyone, please be vigilant and keep a close watch on your surroundings." Yang Yu finished speaking and then focused on continuing on his way.

"Babata."

"What is it?" Babata seemed quite relaxed. Most of his consciousness was currently playing games in the virtual universe to pass the time, while a portion of his consciousness remained on Earth to periodically observe the genius martial artists there.

The remaining consciousness resided with Yang Yu.

"Turn on the detector. My Mental Force won't be very effective here. Remember to let us know in advance if there's any danger." Yang Yu's current Mental Force coverage limit is a radius of ten kilometers, which is already his limit at the Star Level 9.

Of course, this distance is more than ten times stronger than that of Star Level experts like Fengling Yue, reaching a level close to that of Universe Level Initial Stage experts.

However, Babata's detectors are much more reliable, capable of accurately detecting a radius of 20 to 30 kilometers, including underground areas.

Yang Yu's Mental Force can cover a radius of ten kilometers in the air, but if he wants to accurately probe underground, it can only extend a few hundred meters at most.

Therefore, Babata's detectors can be very useful at this time.

"Don't worry, it's been open for a while now. The area is pretty safe. I'll let you know immediately if there's any danger." After saying that, Babata went back to playing his game, leaving a sliver of awareness to keep an eye on the surroundings.

Seeing Babata engrossed in virtual games with the pocket money he had given him, Yang Yu was somewhat speechless, but he didn't say anything. After all, Babata had indeed helped him a lot before, so there was nothing wrong with him enjoying himself now.

And so, Yang Yu and the others sped across the grassland.

"Ah!!!"

Suddenly a cry of surprise rang out, and Yang Yu, Fengling Yue, and the others immediately stopped and turned around to look.

Suddenly, the female Spirit Reader named Doris and another male Heimeng Race Martial Artist in the group had their faces contorted, let out a scream, and fell to the ground without any resistance, completely losing consciousness and making a dull thud.

At this moment, a barely perceptible pale blue storm appeared around the two of them, within which light and shadow intertwined, and various colored energies floated and flickered, while Doris and her companion were unconsciously sinking into the center of the storm.

The scene looked extremely strange.

"Time Storm!"

Jarvis gave a low shout and immediately flew around the edge of the storm.

Fortunately, this Time Storm had just formed, covering only about two hundred meters around Doris and her companion, and was expanding at a visible speed.

Jarvis was quite strong. He flew to a distance of 300 meters from Doris and the other person, immediately threw out a specially made rope to grab them, and then pulled them sharply.

The two, Doris and her companion, who were completely unconscious, were dragged out of the eye of the storm.

By this time, the storm was already close to Jarvis.

"Withdraw!"

Yang Yu also flew over at this moment, using his powerful Mental Force to grab the Alloy Battle Suit around Doris's waist, while Jarvis grabbed another Heimeng Race.

The two then accelerated rapidly, quickly widening the distance between them.

Half an hour later.

After completely shaking off the sudden Time Storm, Yang Yu and the others stopped in front of a lake to rest.

At this moment, Doris also woke up. She was also a Star Level 9 Spirit Reader, but she seemed to have no power to resist even the newly formed Time Storm.

"Doris, you're awake?" Yang Yu asked softly. "How are you feeling?"

Yang Yu did not disregard the lives of these people who were nominally his slaves but in reality his guards.

"Master." Doris blushed. Her race was the Nebula Race, the race that looks similar to Earthlings. Doris's appearance and strength were comparable to the Fengling Yue sisters, but she was more shy and timid.

"I've let you down, Doris is really useless."

Seeing this, the Fengling Yue Sisters couldn't help but roll their eyes. This Doris was usually quiet, but she knew how to act cute when it mattered.

"It's alright, this Time Storm is inherently unpredictable, it's not your fault," Yang Yu waved his hand and said. "Tell me what it felt like to be caught in this Time Storm, in detail!"

"Yes, Master." Hearing that there was something important, Doris's tone became normal.

"At the time, Bliss and I were flying behind you, Master. Everything was fine until suddenly, a strange energy fluctuation gathered about a meter behind us. It then rapidly grew stronger, completely enveloping us in less than a thousandth of a second. I felt the Time Flow Rate around me sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and my consciousness was subjected to waves of shocks. In an instant, I completely lost consciousness and fell into a coma."

"Then I woke up again to find you, Master, carrying me through the air."

"Hmm, Bliss, you should say something too."

Bliss was the Heimeng Race Martial Artist had just fainted along with Doris.

"My feelings are the same as Doris's," Bliss said.

The others frowned upon hearing this. Everyone knew Bliss's strength; he could easily defeat more than a dozen ordinary Star Level 9 Martial Artist by himself, demonstrating excellent combat ability.

Moreover, his willpower was not bad, but even so, he had no ability to resist the newly formed Time Storm.

After listening, Yang Yu pondered for a moment.

"It seems that the appearance of these Time Storm is indeed unpredictable and poses a great threat. From now on, everyone should continue to work in pairs, keeping a distance from each other. If someone gets caught in Time Storm, the adjacent pair should immediately pull them out."

Before arriving, Yang Yu had made ample preparations, equipping each team with many special weapons, such as the specially made rope that Jarvis had just thrown out.

It was a strong rope powerful enough to entangle even Fierce Beast below the Universe Level 3, perfect for rescuing teammates trapped in the Time Storm.

The reason why you can't use your Mental Force to directly reach into the storm and grab it is because Mental Force is the Soul Power. Extending your Mental Force into the storm is equivalent to jumping into the Time Storm.

In this way, the rescuers not only fail to save the person, but may also get themselves killed.

This was also a point specifically highlighted in the intelligence that Yang Yu and his team had purchased previously.
