Chapter 2405: Chapter 2406: Strange Land

Yuan Licheng tenderly picked her up and quickly said to Bai Ruozhu, ”I’ll take her a bit further away.”

”Alright, be quick.” Bai Ruozhu saw Fo Lanying’s face pale and her forehead covered in sweat, feeling very worried.

”You all...be careful.” Fo Lanying said with difficulty.

Bai Ruozhu nodded, and Yuan Licheng swiftly left with her.

Bai Ruozhu turned back and walked into the cave with Jiang Yichun, ”What exactly is this place?” She was afraid that too much silence would make them vanish, so she struck up a conversation with Jiang Yichun.

”I don’t know either. People have checked here and found nothing wrong.” Jiang Yichun said.

Mo Beishan and the others followed behind, their expressions also very grave.

Suddenly, Fang Luo spoke up, ”It might be similar to the magnetic field near my home; the missing people are nearby but we can’t see them. The magnetic field fluctuates in strength. When it’s weak, we can see the fluorescent powder leaking from Jianqi.”

Bai Ruozhu felt enlightened, especially since Fang Luo used the word ”magnetic field.”

This place must have a special location or some natural reason causing strange phenomena, much like the Bermuda Triangle. No one can explain it, yet it’s incredibly mysterious.

”But how are we going to find them?” Bai Ruozhu worriedly asked.

If Second Brother were here, it might be much better. Fo Lanying’s divine sense can detect the problem here, so Second Brother should be able to as well.

Bai Ruozhu sighed inwardly, although she didn’t want Second Brother involved in such a dangerous journey either, especially since Second Sister-in-law’s belly should be showing by now, right?

Now wasn’t the time for distracting thoughts since no one knows the true condition of those missing.

The group carefully searched around without finding any clues, not even footprints from Gao Zhou and others.

”This place is too strange. Even if Jianqi and they haven’t been here before, people checked here earlier in the day, so there should be some footprints.” Jiang Yichun pointed at their feet, ”If we leave now, the footprints we first made should disappear.”

Mo Beishan rubbed his temples, ”So what do we do now?”

It’s not an array, nor ghosts bewitching; the missing people seem to be nearby, but they can’t be rescued.

Bai Ruozhu’s heart also became restless. If her divine sense were sharper, even more than Fo Lanying’s, would there be a way then?

Perhaps because her mind was troubled, her head grew heavier, but she didn’t notice, nor did Jiang Yichun beside her.

She didn’t know when exactly she became muddled; when she regained consciousness, she was already in an unfamiliar place.

Her eyes had no focus, unable even to see her surroundings, as if she had lost her soul, wandering slowly.

Not far from her were Jianqi and Yizi, holding hands, also walking slowly, seemingly soulless as well.

In the distance, there were a few more figures, strangely all walking at about the same speed, each separated by some distance.

Outside, when Jiang Yichun discovered Bai Ruozhu was missing, he was stunned. A second ago, he had held Ruozhu’s hand tightly; the next moment, it’s as if she vanished into thin air, leaving his hand grasping at nothing.

It was too bizarre. Jiang Yichun shouted Bai Ruozhu’s name, frantically searching around. Fearing he might also disappear, Mo Beishan and the others quickly held him, and for a moment, Jiang Yichun was so angry he nearly fought with Mo Beishan.

”Let go of me. If I’m missing, I want to go with her!” Jiang Yichun’s eyes reddened, glaring at Mo Beishan, who instinctively stepped back, almost releasing him.

”Even if you hit me, it won’t work. Otherwise, later Bai Ruozhu will kill me.” Mo Beishan said with a bitter face; neither of this couple was easy to deal with.

”Don’t think I won’t dare hit you.” Jiang Yichun said, gritting his teeth.

Fang Luo suddenly stopped him and said, ”Calm down first. Bai Ruozhu is such a smart person; maybe she went in on purpose to save others. What if you mess up her plan by acting impulsively?”

Jiang Yichun was momentarily stunned, unsure. He thought Ruozhu wouldn’t act rashly without notifying him, but perhaps the opportunity came so quickly she didn’t have time, or maybe she spoke, but he and the others couldn’t hear her.

Jiang Yichun squinted his eyes. If anything happened to Ruozhu, he would tear down this wretched island!

In the strange land, Bai Ruozhu really wasn’t planning anything, otherwise, she wouldn’t have ended up like this.

But soon enough, her unfocused eyes began to show a glimmer of gold, which gradually expanded until golden light erupted from her eyes, bringing clarity back to them.

Bai Ruozhu clutched her chest, seeing Master Pudeng’s golden body emitting dazzling golden light in the space, which was what awakened her.

Her heart was filled with emotion. Master Pudeng had spent his lifespan to help her, and even after death, his golden body could nurture her soul and warn her in danger, while she had merely promised to help him find his ancestral land.

This kindness etched itself into her heart. It’s a pity that during Master Pudeng’s life, she couldn’t do anything for him.

The golden light was like an elder’s warm palm, gradually enveloping Bai Ruozhu, allowing her sight to become increasingly clearer.

Soon, she discovered Jianqi, Yizi, and further ahead, there were Gao Zhou and the others. So all the missing people were here!

This seemed like a parallel space, and the missing people’s divine sense had been influenced, causing them to wander here aimlessly. If they couldn’t leave, they’d likely keep walking endlessly.

Bai Ruozhu swiftly approached and took hold of Jianqi and Yizi, one in each hand, and said softly, ”Jianqi, Yizi, wake up!”

Unfortunately, the two didn’t respond and continued walking forward.

Bai Ruozhu thought for a moment, finally recalling that within the Astrology Tower’s magic technique, there was something called the Clear Heart Symbol.

She quickly drew the symbol using essence and projected it before them. As the magic dispersed, their eyes gradually regained clarity.

”Master, we...” Jianqi, being sensitive, was the first to awaken and immediately realized he had been tricked.

Soon, Yizi drowsily glanced around, ”Where are we?”

”It must be some strange place. Hold hands and stay close to me while I wake the others.” Bai Ruozhu said, moving quickly to Gao Zhou and Tang Feng, using essence to draw another Clear Heart Symbol, waking them up as well.

”What kind of ghostly place is this?” Gao Zhou bellowed upon awakening, ”I actually got caught too.”

Bai Ruozhu briefly explained and then went to wake up Li Zi and Wang Shu at the front.

Finally, all the missing people were accounted for, and fortunately, everyone was safe, which greatly relieved Bai Ruozhu.

But soon she worried again—how were they going to return? Would they be stuck here indefinitely?

”Ruozhu, I found that I can’t enter anywhere or take anything.” Tang Feng whispered as he approached.
