Chapter 37 No, how could he be here?
He calmly observed the wanderer, and seeing the astonished look in the other's eyes, he was not surprised.
He was simply gambling—gambling that, under pressure, the other party would return his original body to him, and gambling that, under these circumstances, the other party would still be willing to believe him.
There was no other way; his true body was far too important to what was about to happen. If his chances of finding the truth were only 50% right now, with his true body included, he was confident he could increase them to 75%.
Furthermore, having the main body in his possession would compensate for any shortcomings in his own strength. This would make it easier to deal with any unforeseen events.
"Mo Wunian...you should be able to do this without your physical body..."
"I need to"
"In this situation, you need to be fully prepared. Don't worry about me leaving."
Please believe that I will accompany you to the end.
Everyone was waiting for the other person's choice, and he looked up into the other person's golden eyes:
The other person's pupils were filled with unease, while their own reflection appeared calm.
He didn't back down.
"……it is good"
I believe you.
The other person took the sword out of the terminal, slowly reached out, and took it from the receiver. He could instantly feel his own frequency shift and stabilize.
It's like a long-lost friend finally arriving, someone who truly deserves to be by your side.
"Thank you"
Holding his true form tightly in his palm, he could feel his strength had increased by more than one level—
Is this what you call the power of a complete being? It's truly terrifying.
He slung the sword over his shoulder, straightened his clothes to make sure they wouldn't get in the way, and then looked into the distance.
"...In that case, everyone, let's get started."
Speed is of the essence in warfare.
Time waits for no one, and everyone quickly got to what they were supposed to do. Standing at the front of the camp, watching the people walk away, he felt a pang of sadness for some reason.
I felt like my chest was suffocating, and I couldn't breathe properly.
"Brother Mo, are you alright? If you really can't handle it, don't push yourself."
"Rest when you need to."
Sensing the unusual aura of the person beside her, Jianxin quickly approached, gently patted his shoulder, her eyes filled with concern and warmth.
"fine……"
"I'm just... a little worried about them."
This wasn't a lie; when he transmigrated into this game, the storyline wasn't finished. He couldn't guarantee what would happen next.
And as time went on, he found it increasingly difficult to see it as fake, and had long since unconsciously become part of this place.
He didn't want to witness anyone's departure.
"Don't worry, we will definitely defeat Mingshi and return victorious."
The rain gradually subsided, and the number of monsters in his field of vision decreased. They would soon be entering the Northern Wilderness.
He had already seen Ji Yan approaching from a distance.
"Um"
"Will do"
Ji Yan quickly returned to the camp, assessed the situation, briefly assigned tasks, and then walked towards them.
"The rain is about to stop; let's go find the wanderers and reunite with them."
"We will then prepare to officially enter Kitarokuno. Once inside, our intelligence will be very scarce, so please take good care of yourselves."
Both of them nodded simultaneously, indicating that they understood. Ji Yan turned his gaze back to himself, but suddenly froze for a moment as he looked at himself.
Her pupils dilated sharply, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and a fleeting sadness flashed in her eyes. But she quickly regained her composure, closing her eyes and then swiftly opening them again to conceal what had happened.
"General?" "Ji Yan"
"I'm fine, let's get going."
"I was just thinking about something from the past."
Although they had some doubts, the situation was indeed urgent, so they didn't ask any further questions. The three of them quickly cleared away the debris along the way and soon arrived at their destination, where they met the wanderers.
The three of them leaped directly from the height, landing gracefully in front of the two. Unfortunately, they almost lost their footing and had to be helped up by the drifter.
It's a bit embarrassing.
"...Sigh, I kind of regret giving you my original body."
"Don't regret it, this is the best decision you've ever made."
He removed his hand from the other person's, knowing that the other person was in a bad mood again, but he still didn't say anything.
Just then, the upstream rain stopped.
"...The rain has stopped."
The next moment, Bai Zhi's figure appeared before everyone. She quickly explained the current situation to them via projection.
"General, the effects of the migratory rains have gradually subsided, and the number of remnant elephants in the northern region has been detected to be decreasing rapidly."
Mottfe also called, offering good news while also expressing his own anxieties.
"The tunnel is fully charged and ready to launch at any time, but..."
"Launching through a hole requires a lot of energy, and if the cannon dries up..."
The rest was clear to everyone—this was their only chance.
Ji Yan's terminal rang again. The voice sounded familiar, yet not entirely familiar—it was Jin Xi.
The other person's figure quickly appeared, indicating that they could rest assured. Their gaze swept over the crowd before turning to themselves.
"I have already used my position as the current Prime Minister to obtain the permission to launch through the open space."
"I will be fully responsible for the rationality of the decision to utilize the vast amount of energy required for tunneling."
"I will bear the full responsibility for the outcome of this battle."
Gazing into the distance, he could feel the eerie moon drawing him ever closer.
What lies in the sky? What is the true nature of my own origins? How deep is my connection to this world...?
These questions lingered in his mind, constantly affecting him.
Perhaps one day, if I am not prepared to know the truth, I will be instantly devoured, plunged into the abyss, and never be able to escape.
"Wanderers, General... go forth!"
May you overcome the long night and return victorious.
"...and Mo Wunian."
Sometimes, the truth isn't that important.
"I hope that after going through so much, you can let go of some of your obsessions."
"We both have only one goal: don't carry too heavy a burden on your shoulders."
I don't understand, smida
He pinched his chin, looked at Jin Xi, and then glanced at the people around him. Apart from the wanderers, they all looked completely bewildered.
He knew then that there were indeed many riddle-solving people in this world.
"I am very grateful for Lord Yin's concern."
"But the truth will always be the truth, even though I know you're all reluctant to tell me..."
But ultimately, it couldn't be hidden.
He shook his head, not wanting to continue the topic—he'd rather kill the thing that caused him to be expelled from humanity first!
"If you don't want to tell me, then don't. We need to focus on important matters."
Anyway... he'll go and witness everything with his own eyes.
Jinxi ultimately said nothing, giving him a complicated look before quickly gazing into the distance and issuing orders.
"All departments, provide unconditional support; launch the air-penetrating missile is permitted."
"Target: Kita-Okuno"
"Defend Jinzhou with all our might!"
A massive amount of energy coalesced on the machine, and in an instant, a dazzling golden beam of light shot out, directly striking the purple barrier.
As the light struck, ripples spread across the barrier's surface, like waves on water stirred up by a thrown stone. In an instant, a gap appeared in the area shimmering with golden light.
The five men exchanged glances, then, under the cover of the others, rushed inside.
Although it was just an entrance, he could already sense how intense the frequency ahead was. He frowned, checked the key in his hand to make sure the frequency was sufficient, and then gently waved his hand, quickly adjusting his own frequency.
They used a feint to the east and a diversion to the west, drawing most of the remaining forces to the other side.
This move was particularly effective when he fought alone last time. If it weren't for the larger group this time causing significant fluctuations in his fighting frequency, making it harder to conceal, he could even have tried to cover it up.
"Find an opportunity to break out from here, and use the grappling hooks to shake off the remaining forces behind us."
What will he do without a grappling hook? (Laughs) Do you even know what flying on a sword is?
While others used grappling hooks to escape monsters, he stepped directly onto his sword, charged forward, and preemptively slew the enemy in front of him.
Even in this state, he could still sense the increasing number of enemies around him and feel the attacks around him being blocked. In the end, Jianxin stopped in his tracks.
"The remaining forces here are advancing aggressively; someone must cover their retreat."
"Gentlemen, I will escort you this far."
"Please, everyone, believe in this unofficial path and keep moving forward."
There was no time to hesitate; anyone would have no choice but to trust the other. They quickly exchanged a glance, nodded, and then rushed forward.
Just as they thought they had finally shaken off the monster behind them, a thunderclap suddenly rang out—
"The rain is falling again..."
This is bad news; the misty rain obscured the view ahead, and the terminal's information was completely blocked.
"At this very moment..."
"The main force has been cut off, and this rain came too suddenly... We're on our own now."
Ji Yan frowned at the situation before him, a hint of wariness and seriousness flashing in his eyes. He then gave the three of them some instructions.
"I wonder what happened next..."
Yangyang clutched her chest in fear, not because she was afraid of the battle that was about to begin, but because she was worried about the safety of the people behind her.
Mo Wunian was extremely familiar with this place. He looked up at the building in the air, and the road he was on was the very road he had taken to his death.
I felt a sense of relief: we were already deep inside, and the illusory images formed by the swirling rain were almost invisible...
"Wait... why does this phantom look a bit like Mo Wunian?"
He coughed violently, and looked up in shock to see the white, limping figure moving forward, its appearance exactly like his own—
The others, upon hearing the wanderer mention the ghostly figures, immediately grabbed their weapons to prepare for battle, but were instantly shocked when they heard the next sentence.
Ji Yan lowered his weapon first, knowing full well that it was wrong, but he did it anyway.
"I attacked the Lord of the Formless Flame...it really was me..."
"This package is half-dead..."
"..."
These words were like a brand of confirmation, causing the wanderer, who was so close, to suddenly grip his hand tightly. The other man's eyes flashed with disbelief, mixed with an undisguised fear.
"Mo Wunian?"
"...Would you believe me if I said he wasn't me?"
Well, he saw that no one around him believed him. Although they all looked shocked, they readily accepted his identity.
The rain that flows upstream never lies.
