Abandoned Woman Busy Farming

Chapter 2404: Chapter 2405: No Clear Explanation (Fourth Update)

”Can people disappear into thin air?” Bai Ruozhu also grew anxious. ”Could there be a large Illusion Array on this island? One so profound that even Yizi couldn’t detect it?”

”Keep looking,” Jiang Yichun said with a stern face.

The two of them held hands and searched for fifteen minutes but found nothing. The person had disappeared right in front of them!

Moreover, they could both absolutely guarantee that there hadn’t been any other person around before.

”This island is too bizarre!” Bai Ruozhu muttered.

Jiang Yichun tightened his grip on her hand, as if afraid of losing her.

”Forget it, let’s return to the beach and send a signal to call Yuan Licheng ashore,” Jiang Yichun suggested.

Bai Ruozhu, worried and finding it strange, suddenly said, ”Let’s take a different route back and check out the surroundings.”

”Okay.”

They chose a different path, even taking a detour, and halfway through, Bai Ruozhu suddenly exclaimed, ”Look, there’s fluorescent powder on the ground!”

They rushed over and squatted down to inspect. This was definitely the fluorescent powder Bai Ruozhu had given to Jianqi, but in the first circle, Jianqi’s group used white stone powder without fluorescent powder.

In the second circle, Bai Ruozhu, to avoid confusion, gave Jianqi some fluorescent powder, and both she and Jiang Yichun were absolutely sure that Jianqi and Yizi hadn’t come this way before they disappeared!

”The interruption of their fluorescent powder, could it be they were teleported here?” Bai Ruozhu’s mind raced. ”Let’s follow the fluorescent powder and look.”

They quickened their pace, and, to prevent themselves from disappearing without leaving clues, Jiang Yichun even sent out a Signal Flare.

Unfortunately, the fluorescent powder was interrupted again, and Bai Ruozhu believed it wasn’t because of a faulty pouch; there had to be a special reason.

They searched the area where the fluorescent powder broke off for any mechanical trap or mechanism, and soon, torches approached—Mo Beishan and Qiu Zhi arrived with two teams of guards.

”How’s it going?” Seeing their grave expressions, Mo Beishan felt his heart sink.

Jiang Yichun briefly explained the situation, and Mo Beishan also began inspecting the surroundings, muttering, ”This is really bizarre. Could it be ghosts?”

Qiu Zhi said with a serious expression, ”I checked; there is no Ghostly Qi here.”

”Send a team back to bring Yuan Licheng over to take a look,” Bai Ruozhu suggested.

Mo Beishan immediately dispatched a team back. He and Qiu Zhi held hands tightly; Bai Ruozhu wasn’t in the mood to think about romantic affairs now. Her mind was filled with the strange happenings, constantly wondering where Gao Zhou, Tang Feng, Jianqi, and Yizi had gone.

Two people disappearing before was understandable, but these four vanished right under her nose, and she couldn’t understand it at all.

Rubbing her temples as her mind ached, she suddenly asked, ”Achun, we were talking the whole way, weren’t we?”

”Yes, are you saying Jianqi and Yizi didn’t talk on their second round, so they disappeared?” Jiang Yichun asked in shock.

Mo Beishan hurriedly said, ”We rushed over without talking most of the time.”

”You had more people holding hands, the stronger the aura with more people,” Bai Ruozhu said thoughtfully.

Jiang Yichun squeezed her hand, ”If it’s not man-made, there should be no problem. Maybe there’s an ancient Array remnant here; perhaps Yuan Licheng can see the secrets.”

Just then, someone suddenly shouted, ”Look, there’s more fluorescent powder over there!”

Everyone looked over, and Jiang Yichun quickly dragged Bai Ruozhu, rushing over. Sure enough, there was scattered fluorescent powder, and they could be sure there wasn’t any here before!

”Oh my, could Jianqi be nearby, but we can’t see him?” someone exclaimed, ”Is it really a ghost?”

As they spoke, the clouds in the sky covered the moon, dimming the light, causing several guards to exclaim in surprise.

”Don’t panic! I’m a direct disciple of the master on Mount Longhu. If there are ghosts, I’ll definitely capture them. Don’t scare yourselves!” Qiu Zhi suddenly shouted, showing some authority.

He waved his hand, and a Talisman ignited automatically, brightening the surroundings a bit.

Seeing the Talisman floating in the air without burning out immediately, the crowd looked at Qiu Zhi with newfound respect, even admiration in their eyes.

Bai Ruozhu nearly gave Qiu Zhi a thumbs up. Although usually unreliable, he performed exceptionally well just now!

If morale faltered, issues would arise more easily. Qiu Zhi’s quick response to stabilize the crowd’s emotions earned Bai Ruozhu’s admiration.

Fine, I’ll reward him with some silver when we return; he’s quite greedy.

Though Qiu Zhi doesn’t use the silver or silver banknotes himself and sends them back to Mount Longhu whenever possible, loyal to his master.

Once everyone calmed down, the moonlight returned, and the guards realized their overreaction, feeling somewhat embarrassed, especially the one who started it. He immediately admitted his mistake, saying he shouldn’t have let his mind wander.

Just then, Yuan Licheng arrived, but not alone; Fo Lanying and Fang Luo were with him.

”I had observed there was no Array on this island before,” Yuan Licheng said upon arrival, but he still checked around, ”I’ll look more closely. Maybe there is an Array beyond my current level that I couldn’t detect.”

”Sorry to trouble you,” Jiang Yichun said.

Yuan Licheng carefully inspected while Fang Luo also searched around. Bai Ruozhu glanced at him; perhaps Fang Luo would discover something?

Suddenly, Fo Lanying said, ”No, there’s a very strong power here!”

She said holding her head, ”You know I’ve been to the Enlightenment Tablet, but I can’t explain it; I just feel a very strong power here, making my head pound.”

Bai Ruozhu quickly supported her, ”Can you bear it? Or should you return to the beach first?”

Fo Lanying shook her head, ”I’m fine. I feel I can find the source over there; follow me.”

Bai Ruozhu and the others quickly followed Fo Lanying, none of them expecting this to involve Divine Sense rather than Array; none could explain what it was.

Fo Lanying moved forward, and when Yuan Licheng reached out to steady her, she shook her head, ”No need, my Divine Sense is higher; I’ll be fine.”

Yuan Licheng didn’t disturb her, and the others closely followed behind her.

Indeed, they spotted scattered fluorescent powder again.

After that, Fo Lanying led them to the mouth of a cave.

”The aura inside is so strong; I can’t hold on anymore. Be careful when you go in,” Fo Lanying said, collapsing painfully to her knees.
