But he saw nothing.
Lu Zhiwei seemed to have fallen to the ground, and then disappeared.
"What in the world is this thing."
Xiang Beifei jumped back down to the ground.
However, he landed steadily on the ground, not sinking into the earth like Lu Zhiwei.
Xiang Beifei crouched down and dug through the dirt with breath soil, creating a small hole, hoping to find something in the soil.
But other than some dried leaves and grass roots, there were only some pebbles and dirt.
Still, he saw nothing out of the ordinary.
He calmed down and began to think about the current situation, analyzing all the clues he had gathered in detail.
A ship suddenly appeared on the highway and collided with a sedan.
Xiaohei sensed something strange here, and then they tracked it to this place, where they saw a woman named He Yun being chased by a desolate beast.
But she was stepping on air, seemingly trying to climb upward, yet she didn't get very high before falling down.
And like before, she fell into the ground and disappeared!
Soon after, Uncle Lu and Lu Zhiwei both vanished as if some ability had separated them.
Then he heard the sound of waves.
And then Lu Zhiwei's voice calling for him.
After finding Lu Zhiwei, the same situation occurred again.
Did Lu Zhiwei also jump into the ground and disappear?
Xiang Beifei was certain that this area must have been affected by some kind of system ability!
In other words, the person who attacked that car last night must still be lingering nearby, but even Uncle Lu's raven couldn't detect his presence—what kind of system is that?
Is it a kind of system that involves space overlap?
Of all the space-related systems he had encountered, the one that left the deepest impression on him was the Reclamation System, which could even reclaim a space from something as small as a piece of chewing gum. Clearly, this place was also covered with a layer of special system space, but Uncle Lu's raven failed to work and couldn't detect any anomalies.
To block the raven, the system level had to be at least the same as Uncle Lu's, or perhaps an SR-level that could shield against Uncle Lu's S-level.
But he distinctly remembered Lu Zhiwei mentioning that another jurisdiction's law enforcement officer said that this guy was only in the later stages of Qi-Controlling. How could a system awakened in the later stages of Qi-Controlling possibly elude the raven's detection?
Unfortunately, he had not yet seen the "Highway Killer's" system interface, so he couldn't confirm anything. It would be much more convenient if he could just see the other party.
Xiang Beifei looked out at the turbulent sea. The sea seemed to have been cut off; it was certain that traversing the sea would be impossible, so he decided to turn back.
He re-entered the forest and started exploring. He needed to find Lu Zhiwei or any person he could see. Of course, most importantly, he had to find out which system the host that created this space was using.
The forest was very dim, and he was alone, with no clear paths on the ground. However, fortunately, he had acquired the ability to control his weight and could make his body lighter.
Covering the soles of his feet with Spiritual Power, he leaped lightly, controlling the Spiritual Power to land on a tree branch. Then, with a slight bend of his knees, he sprang forward, moving swiftly through the trees.
This way of moving was very agile, like executing Qinggong. As long as he controlled the Spiritual Power properly, he could move through the crisscrossing branches without obstacle.
After about ten minutes of moving through the forest, Xiaohei suddenly tugged on his ear and pointed in a certain direction.
Xiang Beifei tapped his toes on the trunk of a tree and quickly turned, sprinting in the direction Xiaohei had indicated. Soon, he saw a figure in the underbrush below, seemingly collapsed on the ground.
Chapter Find:
Xiang Beifei landed cautiously on the ground, staring at the man lying there.
Having recently learned to use spiritual power from Elder Luo, he attempted to probe the man with it.
"He's still alive."
Xiang Beifei approached the man cautiously.
The man was wearing a plaid shirt, was pale, had some scratches on his body that seemed to have been made by branches, and some of the wounds had turned white.
He saw the man's system interface.
[Host: Liu Gui]
[R-level, Marketing Genius System]
[Realm: Mid-phase of Qi-Controlling]
Xiang Beifei browsed through the man's system tasks, but unfortunately, the man's system log mostly consisted of market marketing matters.
The man seemed to be the marketing director of a clothing company. His task log contained no records about why he appeared in this forest, although there was a task: [With the help of He Yun, secure the agency rights of the "Eight Wolves" brand for the two stores on West Street, reward: 10,000 Yuan]
"He Yun? Isn't that the woman I just saw?"
Xiang Beifei remembered the woman who had asked him for help when he first came to this forest. Her system interface displayed her name as He Yun.
So it looked like the car that had been wrecked on the highway by the cruise ship early this morning belonged to the two of them?
