"Hmm." Shen Heng nodded slightly.
"Great! I knew the Calamity Beast couldn't possibly affect its own plans!" Wu Hao smiled.
Shen Heng paused, looking at Wu Hao with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
Did the Calamity Beast affect its own plans?
This statement implies another meaning: the plans of the Calamity Beast have been affected!
That's why speculation has arisen about who influenced the Calamity Beast's plans!
"Do you know something?" Shen Heng asked.
Wu Hao paused for a moment, then seemed to realize what he meant and said:
"Yeah, I've met four people since I woke up yesterday. One of them was a soldier who said he was at the base, preparing to evacuate, when suddenly everything went black, and when he woke up, he was here!"
The base, evacuation, to this point... Shen Heng quickly thought for a moment,
"So, the Calamity Beast really did attack the base?"
"Yeah, I heard four more went too, Captain, you guessed right!" Wu Hao said excitedly.
Beside him, Zhou Dehou also showed a hint of joy on his face.
Shen Heng nodded, not particularly surprised.
The answer was already obvious when the relevant clues were found; after confirming that the Calamity Beast on the Mountain of Truth was no longer there, the answer was almost certain; now, it's just a matter of confirming it!
However, it's not entirely something to be unhappy about!
Just like Wu Hao just said, no matter what, the Calamity Beast's plan has been ruined by the spreading Distortion space!
that is...
The thought flashed through Shen Heng's mind, and he asked,
"So, do you know what happened after the base encountered the Calamity Beast?"
When it came to serious matters, Wu Hao's expression also became serious, and he said:
"That soldier said that initially, the battle alarm was ringing, but later, it seemed the base determined they couldn't win, so they changed it to letting them..."
Shen Heng listened while silently pondering.
Taking this information into account, it can be basically confirmed that this incident has affected the entire Plateau Erosion Zone!
After all, this event covered the Light Gate connecting the Ruins Realm to the east and the Light Gate connecting Blue Star to the west. If you exclude those two areas, there's practically nothing left.
So, in other words, of the three pieces of intelligence that were initially considered for investigation, two have now been resolved.
One is where it is located, and the other is where it has been affected.
The only thing I don't know yet is how to get out?
Of course, if we expand on this further, the problem actually involves more than just this...
It seemed he had finished speaking, and the voices beside him fell silent.
Wu Hao seemed to remember something, and looked at Shen Heng.
"Oh, right, Captain, Elder Zhou was with me before too!"
Shen Heng paused for a moment, then instinctively looked over.
"Is Elder Zhou here too?"
Zhou Dehou, standing to the side, also looked over with his eyes slightly widened.
"Yes, the second one I found was Elder Zhou." Wu Hao nodded. "We were originally working together, but then we ran into that..."
After a pause, Wu Hao glanced at the corpse of the Calamity Beast lying on the ground in the distance. The image of the captain deliberately Induction the beast to Distortion before killing it flashed through his mind.
He looked at Shen Heng with some confusion.
"Captain, won't you be affected by that force?"
"My Configuration is rather unique, that power is of little use to me," Shen Heng replied.
Upon hearing this, Wu Hao nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.
Upon careful recollection, it seems that I haven't heard the captain mention the Configuration issue.
He shook his head, seemingly remembering that he hadn't finished speaking, and immediately said:
"I was originally traveling with Elder Zhou and the others when we encountered that Calamity Beast Calamity Beast. Since we couldn't defeat it, I lured it away so that Elder Zhou and the others could run in another direction!"
Nodding slightly, Shen Heng stood there with a vacant look in his eyes.
One voice after another filtered through my mind.
Wu Hao, standing to the side, had already gotten used to it, and he sighed inwardly.
"Captain's ability is really useful..."
One hour later.
Shen Heng, carrying Zhou Dehou, descended.
Wu Hao followed beside him, flying on his own.
Below, three figures who had already received the telepathic message looked up slightly and waited in place.
" Captain Shen!" Two soldiers raised their hands in salute.
Shen Heng returned the greeting, then looked at the old man standing in the center.
Having only been here for a little over a day and not yet engaged in combat, Zhou Zhenguo was still full of energy.
Seeing Shen Heng looking over, a smile crept onto his lips.
"Looks like you succeeded?!"
Although the words were asked, they carried a sense of certainty.
"Okay!" Shen Heng nodded.
"That's good!" Zhou Zhenguo's smile widened even more. He glanced around and asked, "Do you know where this is?"
Upon hearing this, the others also subconsciously looked at Shen Heng.
Shen Heng didn't reply immediately. He paused, gathered his thoughts, and then said:
"Okay, let's share the information first!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhenguo's smile widened even further.
"Looks like you've learned quite a bit by now!"
"It's alright, there's still a lot I don't know!" Shen Heng replied.
"Alright, since that's the case, let's get started!" Zhou Zhenguo said, his smile fading.
Shen Heng nodded and began to speak.
From the name of the mountain with the most Calamity Beast, to the palaces on the mountain, and then to the details of his actions.
Then came the entry, Origin Prohibition, Distortion, impact, speculation...
Zhou Zhenguo frowned and slowly nodded.
"So, the only question you're still unsure about is how to get out?"
Shen Heng paused for a moment, then replied:
"That's the general direction; there are two more specific directions."
"Which two?" Zhou Zhenguo asked.
Shen Heng:
"One question is whether everyone within the affected area was drawn into the space of that palace during this incident?"
"Another question is, do multiple spaces exist? And how do we get to other spaces?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhenguo frowned and pondered for a moment.
"Your first question is almost impossible to solve. After all, we don't know the situation of the others. Unless everyone is brought in and you find everyone, this problem is unsolvable!"
"As for the second question... there is a chance, but we need to find the entrance to other dimensions first."
Shen Heng stood there, nodding thoughtfully.
Zhou Zhenguo watched it from the side, his eyes flickering slightly.
Have they gathered so much intelligence in just one day?
This guy...
He let out a soft breath and said:
"Alright, it's time to think about what we should do next..."
In the unknown Gobi Desert.
A figure slowly moved forward on the sand.
As he walked, he kept turning his head to look around.
However, all that could be seen was an endless expanse of desolation; there was nothing at all.
"Damn it, what the hell is this place?!" He looked down and spat on the ground.
It seemed that this bite had disturbed something, because the ground suddenly began to tremble violently.
Instead of being frightened, the figure laughed.
He looked down at the shaking ground beneath his feet, and a wide grin spread across his face.
"After being here for so long, we've finally encountered something that moves!"
The figure expanded rapidly in the darkness of the night.
