Watching Yun Ran take out the Peach Wood Sword, Ginsengfruit silently stepped back two paces. He had seen the power of the Peach Wood Sword before.

"Sizzle," a gap that could be crossed appeared brazenly in front of them.

Er Dan’s eyes were about to pop out, staring fixedly at the Peach Wood Sword in Yun Ran’s hand.

Uh (⊙o⊙)...

He felt a certain affinity with this Peach Wood Sword, wondering what should be done~

"Let’s get out first!"

Yun Ran planned to bring up the rear to prevent the barrier opening from closing automatically after she went out.

Ginsengfruit said nothing, carrying the Little Princess Doll, and went out first.

Er Dan’s eyes remained fixed on the Peach Wood Sword, seemingly oblivious to Yun Ran’s voice.

Finally, Yun Ran kicked him out.

"What a clueless guy!"

After cursing him, Yun Ran quickly came out from the forcibly broken barrier opening.

As soon as she stepped out, the sunlight outside fell warmly on her body.

But after staying in the dim place for a long time, Yun Ran instinctively closed her eyes and only reopened them after a while.

Once they opened, she was instantly surprised by the scene in front of her.

In front of her stood a dozen people, each with a heavy and guarded look, all holding weapons.

Ginsengfruit and Er Dan had already been surrounded by these people.

"How did you come out!"

The leader showed a subtle trace of greed in his eyes, as if Yun Ran and the others must have obtained some great treasure when they emerged.

Everyone surrounding them exuded an unusual aura, clearly no easy adversary.

Others would probably obediently answer their questions now, aware that discretion is the better part of valor.

But these threats were ineffective against Yun Ran.

Yun Ran raised her hand and snapped her fingers, releasing a gentle aura around her.

Soon enough, those wielding weapons felt stifled in their chests, followed by a weakness overwhelming their bodies.

"Clang" sounds rang out repeatedly.

It was the sound of weapons falling to the ground from their hands.

Soon followed by the sound of heavy items hitting the ground as the crowd, full of menace before, slumped down feebly.

Yun Ran didn’t even raise her eyelids and spoke leisurely: "I’m kind-hearted, otherwise you all would be leaving your lives here today."

As soon as Yun Ran finished speaking, the people on the ground succumbed to the effect of the drug and quickly closed their eyes.

"Host, your drugging skills are truly becoming more formidable."

Yun Ran gently raised her chin: "Of course, don’t you know who I am?"

Normally, she wouldn’t easily use such memory-confusing drugs, considering their high cost.

But having been trapped inside the barrier for a long time, she now only wanted to hurry back, take a shower, and sleep well.

She didn’t want to waste time on these people or get entangled with them.

Especially since these people, while somewhat greedy, didn’t carry much karma.

Yun Ran would never go all out against them.

The best solution was to muddle their memories of her coming out, achieving the best outcome.

The place they were now was quite empty and indistinguishable in scope.

Yun Ran immediately retrieved the map scanned earlier of Moonlight City by Ginsengfruit. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Soon, she found where they currently were.

"Tsk tsk tsk, this place is too remote, no wonder it’s the best barrier exit!"

Saying this, Yun Ran’s gaze turned to the people lying on the ground.

This area is so remote; it’s unusual for so many people to be here.

These people must either know it’s the safest exit or are guarding something nearby.

"Let’s search and see what’s here!"

Upon Yun Ran’s order, Ginsengfruit, Er Dan, and the Little Princess Puppet immediately spread out to search.

Yun Ran, meanwhile, found a smoother rock to sit on.

If she had to do everything herself, she’d be exhausted.

After a while, Ginsengfruit returned, capable of scanning data, naturally quicker than Er Dan and the others.

"Host, we’ve found something ahead!"

Yun Ran quickly stood up to follow Ginsengfruit to investigate, knowing there must be something here with people guarding this remote place.

After walking for about two minutes, Yun Ran saw a man-made rockery waterfall, with a cave behind the waterfall.

"Host, something is sealed inside this cave!"

Yun Ran took out her Black Umbrella, which could conceal her presence and even form a new barrier under specific conditions.

Right now, it could also serve as a shelter from the wind and rain.

Not a drop of water from the waterfall splashed onto Yun Ran, as an invisible barrier seemed to shield her.

Passing through the waterfall, Yun Ran remained dry, but Ginsengfruit had a lot of water stains.

No one paid attention to that.

The cave entrance was engraved with some ancient patterns, which due to heavy humidity, were poorly preserved and severely weathered.

Yun Ran studied them for a long time without discerning the patterns clearly.

"Can you scan and restore these patterns?"

This task obviously required high-tech solutions, which Yun Ran directly handed over to Ginsengfruit.

Ginsengfruit nodded: "I should be able to, let me try."

In the past, Ginsengfruit learned a lot of archaeological knowledge from Doctor Yu, so he had recorded them early on.

As long as there are similarities, he can find a way to restore them.

While Ginsengfruit worked, Yun Ran didn’t idle; she started carefully examining the surroundings.

A stone door barred the cave entrance, and gaining access necessitated finding the mechanism.

Forcibly breaking it open might damage what’s inside, Yun Ran worried.

After a while, Yun Ran confirmed the cave had been there for a long time, and the stone door hadn’t been opened since it closed.

It seems those stationed here might not even know what’s inside this cave.

"Could you restore those patterns yet?"
