"Ah--"
"Save Min--"
The shouting stopped abruptly.
Everyone looked over the moment Lü Wenrui spoke.
But all that could be seen was the figure that had already tilted more than halfway and then disappeared in the next instant.
The space around them seemed to Distortion slightly, like a vortex.
"No, this..."
Huang Jun stared wide-eyed at the scene before him, somewhat incredulous.
It's bad enough that a portal suddenly appeared in a perfectly normal space, but for it to appear right where they were...
No, that's not right, there's something even more urgent going on!
Huang Jun turned his head to look at the figure standing next to him.
" Brother Hu, what do we do now?"
There was no response. Wang Hu's body tensed slightly as he stared at the teleportation portal a few meters away.
Huang Jun could understand this; after all, no one would feel at ease if a portal suddenly appeared that led to an unknown destination.
Just like Captain Han and Zhou Xuan on the side.
One had a solemn expression; the other, though also solemn, seemed to have something more to it.
However, none of that matters. What's more important now is...
" Brother Hu, if we don't go over there, and there happens to be a Calamity Beast on the other side, wouldn't it be terrible for Lü Wenrui to go alone?" Huang Jun spoke again, this time his voice more anxious.
Upon hearing this, Wang Hu finally responded.
He glanced at Huang Jun with a serious expression, then turned his gaze to the figure on the other side.
"Past?"
Beside them, Huang Jun and Zhou Xuan also looked towards that figure.
The flaxen ponytail swayed gently in the other person's mind.
Without an immediate response, Han Ling lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment before saying:
"No, let's wait a little longer."
"But Lü Wenrui has been teleported there alone. If there's any danger on the other side, he won't be able to fight back alone, will he?" Huang Jun said after hearing this.
Beside him, Zhou Xuan's expression also became more serious, and he nodded in agreement.
"Yes, Sister Han, although with Fatty's luck, it's unlikely he'll die outright, that's only if we go to his aid. If we don't go, he might really be in danger."
Wang Hu didn't speak, but his gaze was also fixed on Han Ling.
Han Ling nodded and said, "I know, but what would you do if you were the ones being transported there?"
"Uh, let's check the situation. If the surrounding area is safe, then we should retreat first?" Zhou Xuan for a moment and said.
"What if it's not safe?" Han Ling asked.
"If it's not safe..." Zhou Xuan paused, then said, "Then let's see if we can win. If we can, then fight; if we can't, then retreat?"
"Um."
Han Ling looked at the teleportation portal standing not far from them.
"Therefore, the portal is right here. Even if Lü Wenrui encounters danger in the past, as long as he can put up a little resistance, he can return through this portal."
"If he can't even put up this much resistance, then..."
The rest of the sentence was left unsaid, but everyone understood what it meant.
If Lü Wenrui is unable to resist and is killed in an accident, then their arrival would likely result in the same outcome.
Thinking of this, everyone felt much relieved.
Huang Jun was even considering whether he should retreat a little further away to take a closer look.
After all, the only thing that could render Lü Wenrui unable to resist was a Sixth Tier Calamity Beast, and even if the four of them joined forces, they still wouldn't be able to handle it if it came over.
In this situation, prioritizing evacuation to a more distant location seems to be a better approach.
However, considering that if it really was Sixth Tier Calamity Beast, dealing with Lü Wenrui would probably not take long, and in that time, they probably wouldn't be able to retreat very far, so they had no choice but to abandon the idea.
The group waited where they were.
Five seconds, ten seconds, twenty seconds...
The heart that had been at ease gradually began to race again.
Han Ling stared at the teleportation portal, her expression turning serious once more.
They only exchanged a few words, but that still took up some time, plus the waiting time now...
Logically speaking, Lü Wenrui should have returned long ago.
But now...
Everyone remained calm.
Huang Jun, somewhat reluctant to believe it:
"Do you think there might be a monster on the other side with similar strength to Lü Wenrui? And he and that Calamity Beast are constantly fighting on the other side?"
"No, that fat guy is very cunning. If it were only Fourth Tier opponent, he might be able to handle it, but it's already Fifth Tier. If he sees it, he'll definitely run back to us for help immediately," Zhou Xuan retorted.
"Then this..."
Huang Jun opened his mouth and looked at Zhou Xuan Zhou Xuan.
There was no response. Zhou Xuan frowned and raised his hand to scratch his head.
Could this fat guy have really gotten into an accident?
But based on my understanding of his abilities, this shouldn't be the case.
His abilities have never resulted in such a direct death before, have they? And lately, his luck has been generally bad; the occasional stroke of good fortune doesn't seem to offset the overall bad luck. So...
Beside her, Han Ling lowered her eyes in thought.
He didn't come back. Could Lü Wenrui have really encountered Sixth Tier Calamity Beast? Or... is this teleportation portal actually one-way? Can you only go in from one side and not come back from the other?
Her thoughts... suddenly paused, Han Ling looked at the figure that quickly solidified from the teleportation portal with some surprise.
The people nearby also noticed this and quickly looked over.
A figure strode out into view. Just like when he disappeared, there was no dust or blood on his body, and he even had a smile on his face.
"Quickly, you guys hurry..."
After a slight pause, Lü Wenrui looked at everyone with some surprise.
"What's with those expressions, you guys?"
Zhou Xuan's lips twitched twice, and he glared at them fiercely.
"What's that over there? Why did it take you so long to get here?"
Somewhat confused, Lü Wenrui honestly replied, "No, I just took a closer look over there!"
As he spoke, a grin spread across his face, and he became noticeably more excited.
"You have no idea what I saw on the other side!"
"What did you see?" Zhou Xuan asked, even more annoyed.
If it were for some other reason, that would be one thing, but when we told him he didn't come back right away because he was stunned by what he saw?
That fatso is so unreliable!
The surrounding people had slightly different ideas, but the general sentiments were the same.
They didn't give Lü Wenrui a friendly look, but their eyes were still on him, wanting to hear what he had seen on the other side.
"The house, a very big one..."
Lü Wenrui paused for a moment as he raised his hand, but quickly continued, saying:
"No, it should be called a building, a very large building!"
