Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 363 - 362 in-depth

Just as Qin Tian and Song Zhen were steadily approaching the strange figure on the ceiling, feeling that their bodies were being controlled and about to be captured,

they finally saw the other's face clearly.

Although the figure was bare-chested and barefooted, that handsome face was truly unforgettable, like a firefly in the night, impossible to erase from memory.

"It's you! Daniel Wu!"

Neither of them had expected that Daniel Wu, who was supposed to have sacrificed himself to lure away the Heavenly Demon for their sake, would appear here in such a strange attire, bare-chested and barefooted.

At the same time, amidst the rustling and piercing screams, they noticed large swathes of darkness gathering in front of Daniel Wu like clouds of mist.

But then they saw Daniel Wu stretch out a finger and command, "Fire come."

The next moment, a flash of golden light streaked across the void, and, at Zhou Bai's command, the autonomous Self-Contained Gold Flying Sword activated, unleashing in an instant a series of twelve Swordsmanship strikes.

The exploding flames burst forth among the fine tendrils of darkness, and then one could see countless tiny creatures, burning like insects, falling to the ground amidst continual shrieks.

"Song Zhen..."

"Qin Tian..."

"Why do you want to kill me..."

"Save me... save me..."

These were minuscule, burning life forms, thinner than strands of hair, smaller than grains of dust, only visible through the use of Primordial Spirit power, their appearances shockingly similar to miniature Human-faced Snakes.

As Zhou Bai invoked his Time Reverse ability, they flocked towards him like moths to a flame, only to be utterly consumed by the Swordsmanship flames wielded by the flying sword.

Only then did Song Zhen and Qin Tian realize that the darkness that had been chasing them was this form of life, and even the whispers they heard in the dark were emitted by these creatures.

Meanwhile, in the corridor behind them, Lin Muqing, Qian Wangsun, the snow leopard, and Qing Cao walked out one by one.

Qing Cao, a cultivator from Heavenly Diagram, immediately went to Qin Tian and Song Zhen's sides to examine their bodies.

Qian Wangsun secretly communicated through sound transmission with Qin Tian and Song Zhen, asking the two to help him conceal his identity.

The miniature Human-faced Snakes from the spiral staircase seemed inexhaustible, swarming out at Zhou Bai's call and burning in the flames for five or six minutes before they were completely dissipated.

Zhou Bai leaped down from the ceiling and asked Qin Tian and Song Zhen, "Are you two okay? What exactly happened?"

Qin Tian and Song Zhen looked at Daniel Wu in front of them with surprise and quickly recounted the events.

Zhou Bai turned to Qing Cao on the side, "How is their physical condition?"

Qing Cao shook her head, "Their Primordial Spirits are sealed, and their bodies have been drugged; these can be healed." As she said this, she switched her speech to sound transmission, relaying to Zhou Bai, Lin Muqing, Qian Wangsun, and the snow leopard.

"Their bodies show signs of aberrant reactions, it's best not to restore their Primordial Spirits and physical bodies for now."

Qian Wangsun said, "Something is very wrong with this place. I feel the Heavenly Demon has used some method to change the spirit mechanism of the environment here, the contamination and distortion are much more serious than in the normal wilderness."

Zhou Bai headed toward the staircase, "Let's go down and see; I'll lead the way. Follow me. Qing Cao, you stay here to take care of Qin Tian and Song Zhen."

Qin Tian struggled to his feet, "No, we should retreat immediately and report to the higher-ups. It's too dangerous down there, we shouldn't continue."

Zhou Bai glanced at him and said, "West Mountain City has already been sealed off, we are the only ones who have come. To be honest, even if we go back to report, the higher-ups won't send anyone else at this point."

Qin Tian was momentarily stunned by the words, looking at Zhou Bai as he turned to leave, then quickly added, "Then let's go together; no need to waste manpower to protect me. I can go down with you."

Beside him, Song Zhen looked at Daniel Wu, feeling that staying by his side was the safer choice: "I'll go down too."

Zhou Bai nodded. He released the power of his Primordial Spirit, grabbing the two in mid-air and rushing toward the stairs, descending swiftly.

In the middle of the dash, Zhou Bai leapt up, and for the sake of safety, he had already climbed onto the ceiling to enhance his defensive power.

Song Zhen and Qin Tian looked at this scene with strange expressions, wondering why Daniel Wu was moving in this manner.

Lin Muqing and the others, however, were no longer surprised. Ever since Zhou Bai had arrived, if he could lie down he wouldn't sit, if he could sit he wouldn't stand; he claimed this was the posture best suited for his combat style.

The group now, unlike the previously unharmed Qin Tian and Song Zhen, were all cultivators in peak condition, moving with great speed. It wasn't long before they reached the mouth of the staircase and stepped out to see rows of glass walls, as well as the Human-faced Snakes behind them.

At the same time, a shadow spread across the wall. Song Zhen's body shuddered; it was the monster she had seen before.

The source of this c𝐨ntent is freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.

Zhou Bai, however, was the first to react. Since he too was crawling on the ceiling, he saw a massive snake covered in limbs slithering along the ceiling, and they locked eyes.

"Please spare…"

Before Zhou Bai could finish, he saw the giant snake hastily burrowing into the wall. Countless limbs sliding, it seemed to forcefully squeeze into the ceiling, disappearing from view.

"Damn it, these mutants are too stingy," Zhou Bai complained in his mind. "Run away upon sight? Not the least bit polite."

Song Zhen stared blankly at this scene, feeling that compared to the mutants, the Daniel Wu in front of her seemed even weirder.

Looking at the Human-faced Snakes behind the glass wall and seeing this horrifying spectacle, Lin Muqing said with a dark expression, "They are really causing distortions and mutations on purpose."

Qian Wangsun asked, "But how are they causing these distortions? As far as I know, Heavenly Demons cannot cultivate Daoist techniques or use them, right?"

Zhou Bai speculated, "We'll know if we keep searching. That mutant just ran away; they probably know we're here. Be careful, everyone."

Christina covered her eyes, trembling as she spoke, "Damn it, has it gone yet? Who told you to come to such a place! I'll have nightmares for a lifetime."

Zhou Bai glanced at the time on his watch; "It's been 12 minutes since we entered here. For the next 28 minutes, I can use my Time Reverse ability to return to the state we were in before entering the village."

"If I can clarify the situation within 28 minutes, I can even use Time Reverse to make the Heavenly Demons think I've never been here."

...

Meanwhile, in the depths of the Heavenly Demon testing ground.

In the darkness, soft murmurs continued to echo.

"Save me…"

"Why did you kill me…"

In the unfathomable depths of the Abyss, a few points of light flickered faintly.

If one got closer, they could see that those were numerous screens displaying various data and the conditions of the subjects.

Standing in front of the screens was the Mysterious Woman, who had a clear view of Zhou Bai and the others' movements.

Next to her stood another man, his body enveloped in a black robe, looking somewhat bloated.

"Mysterious Woman, why don't you send Heavenly Demons to exterminate these people?"
