The Sunset Forest.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A series of explosions came from the woods, startling the nearby Soul Beast into scattering and fleeing.
Tang San stumbled through a thicket, his clothes covered in mud and scorch marks. Several small drones were hot on his heels, their red scanning beams constantly sweeping through the trees.
"Intruder detected."
The target continues to flee.
"Execution program in progress."
The piercing alarm made God King Tang San's scalp tingle.
Damn it!
He suddenly lunged to the side.
The next second, a small missile grazed past his body and struck a large tree in front of him.
The explosion kicked up a large amount of mud.
Tang San staggered a few steps from the shockwave, but as soon as he regained his footing, he continued running forward.
"Why is the Spirit Hall everywhere?!"
God King Tang San was absolutely furious.
Just minutes before, he thought he had finally found one of the few places in this life where nothing had changed.
The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
That was one of the most important opportunities in his Remembrance.
Instead of going directly through the highway, God King Tang San bypassed the entrance to the research reserve and climbed to a higher point on the other side of the valley.
He lay prone behind a boulder and peered down quietly.
The familiar Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well still stands in the center of the valley.
The spring water is clearly divided into red and white sections, and a large number of precious medicinal herbs grow around it.
The God King Tang San saw the plants, his eyes lit up.
There were also many other divine ingredients that he knew all too well.
Everything is still there.
But as he continued watching, the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
Each Immortal Herb had a numbered tag next to it.
[A-017]
[Growth Status: Stable]
[A-021]
[Picking is prohibited]
[A-034]
[Experimental Samples]
Several research facilities have also been built in the valley.
Several people in white coats were constantly recording data with instruments, and from time to time they squatted down to observe the growth of the Immortal Herb.
Even more outrageous, a group of things he had never seen before were hopping around near the herb field.
Their bodies are round and soft, and they come in various colors.
One of them jumped out from behind the rock, landed on the grass with a thud, and then slowly bounced up again.
God King Tang San was stunned for a moment.
"What is that?"
Tang San didn't know either.
"It looks... like rice cake?"
God King Tang San had no interest in studying rice cakes.
His gaze returned to the Immortal Herb, and he nearly ground his teeth to powder.
In his Remembrance, all these things should eventually end up in his hands.
In this life, however, the Spirit Hall and that Interastral Peace Corporation took over beforehand.
"Damn the Spirit Hall."
God King Tang San lowered his body, preparing to continue searching for an opportunity to enter the valley.
A beam of red light suddenly swept across his face.
drop.
Tang San's body stiffened.
Not far away, a suspended monitoring device slowly turned towards him.
"Intruder detected."
Beep beep beep!
The piercing alarm instantly echoed throughout the valley.
Several researchers looked up at the same time.
God King Tang San's expression changed drastically.
"Oh no!"
The metal platforms on both sides of the valley suddenly opened.
Several small drones quickly took off and flew directly in his direction.
God King Tang San turned and ran.
The first drone has caught up.
He swung three Bone-Piercing Nail with a backhand motion.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
As soon as the Hidden Weapon approached the drone, the pale blue shield suddenly lit up.
All three Bone-Piercing Nail were blocked.
"What?"
God King Tang San suddenly turned around.
Several small launch ports have popped up beneath the drone.
Whoosh!
A missile flew in, leaving a trail of flame.
God King Tang San's face darkened, and he quickly used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track.
boom!
An explosion occurred behind him.
"Hateful!"
A second drone has also approached.
God King Tang San kept changing direction, launching Hidden Weapon one after another. But no matter if it Sleeve Arrow, a flying needle, or Bone-Piercing Nail, as long as it hit the energy shield, it would at most cause the shield to ripple a few times.
It's impossible to get through.
On the contrary, the number of missiles launched by drones is increasing.
God King Tang San could only run frantically.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"
Another explosion came from behind.
The pebbles hit his back, making him gasp in pain.
"I, the God King Tang, have dominated the Divine Realm for hundreds of years!"
"When have I ever been this pathetic?!"
Deep down, Tang San couldn't help but say, "Maybe we should run first."
"I'm running!"
God King Tang San roared in annoyance.
Suddenly, a loud splashing sound came from ahead.
A waterfall appeared at the end of the woods.
The rushing water plunges down from a great height, below which lies a bottomless abyss.
God King Tang San rushed to the top of the waterfall and glanced back.
Several drones have already chased them out of the woods.
The red locking beam of light fell entirely on him.
"The intruders have stopped fleeing."
"Put yourself under control immediately."
God King Tang San did not hesitate for a moment.
"Control my ass!"
He leaped into the air.
He jumped directly off the top of the waterfall.
Thump!
Water splashed high into the air.
Several drones chased after the waterfall, continuously scanning the water surface.
Time passed little by little.
Tang San was nowhere to be found.
"Target lost."
"The exact location could not be confirmed."
The drone circled for a long time before finally having to return to the research reserve.
Several days later.
Spirit City.
A figure wrapped in a tattered cloak hid in the roadside woods, gazing at the gates of Spirit City in the distance.
Tang San's hair was disheveled under the cloak, and there were several unhealed abrasions on his face.
He had taken a long detour these past few days, avoiding all towns and major roads, and finally returned here.
God King Tang San gazed at the distant Spirit City, a slow smile playing on his lips.
" The Spirit Hall."
You wouldn't believe it, would you?
"I, Tang San, am back."
Tang San remained silent for a moment, deep within his consciousness.
So what exactly do you want to do?
Looking for my father?
"No."
God King Tang San directly denied it.
"We don't even know where our father is being held, we don't even have a target."
Tang San asked, "Then why did you come back?"
God King Tang San looked at the city gate.
"The most dangerous place is the safest place."
" The Spirit Hall must think we've already escaped far away. They never dreamed I'd return to the vicinity of Spirit City."
Tang San felt that there was something dangerous about those words.
"Then what?"
"Enter the city first."
God King Tang San said, "Find a way to find Ning Rongrong."
"Contact Ning Fengzhi through her."
Tang San was taken aback.
" Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"
"That's right."
God King Tang San's tone regained some of its confidence.
"Since we can't enter the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well for the time being, let's negotiate a business deal with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect first."
" The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Spirit Hall have a long-standing conflict, and Ning Fengzhi has always been wary of the Spirit Hall's expansion. As long as what we offer is substantial enough, he won't refuse to cooperate."
Tang San asked, "What are you going to offer them in our negotiations?"
God King Tang San chuckled.
"A condition that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect cannot refuse."
"I can grant them an immense opportunity. If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is willing to help, we will have a chance to reclaim the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."
" The Immortal Herb will still be ours then."
After he finished speaking, he pulled down his cloak to cover his face.
Let's go.
"Enter the city first."
