2014 Ghost? Encounter!
While Wang Teng was conversing with Round Ballin his mind about the Naga Race, the others were still in the dark.
โIt seems somewhat similar to our raceโs architecture,โ the queen shook her head and replied.
โDo you know about the Naga Race?โ Wang Teng asked using voice transmission.
The queen paused for a moment, furrowed her brows, and then replied through voice transmission, โI seem to recall my elder master, the previous queen, mentioning it.โ
โI see.โ Wang Teng stroked his chin and proceeded to explain the origins of the Naga Race through voice transmission.
โAre you saying that we are descendants of the Naga Race?โ the queenโs eyes sparkled as she hurriedly inquired.
โYes, but the bloodline is probably very diluted,โ Wang Teng replied.
The queen fell silent, deep in thought, and her expression seemed to suggest she was contemplating something important.
The revelation had a profound impact on her.
For generations, the extraterrestrial humans had referred to them as natives of this land, and they had always believed they were the natives of this small world. They never imagined that they had such a complex lineage.
Wang Teng smiled faintly, said nothing more, and went to examine the buildings. Many of these structures were in ruins, with only some remnants of walls left. He placed his hand on one of the walls.
Boom!
The crumbling wall disintegrated into countless dust particles and vanished in an instant, leaving everyone stunned.
They couldnโt believe that the seemingly solid wall could vanish so easily with a single touch.
โDo you have any idea about the age of these buildings?โ Wang Teng inquired.
Wan Dong and the others shook their heads.
They were not archaeologists, and they had no knowledge about such matters.
Additionally, many relics left behind by powerful beings could withstand the test of time, making it nearly impossible to determine their age. Investigating these ruins would likely be futile.
Wang Teng extended his spiritual powers and swept the area, causing the vast amounts of rubble to turn into dust and dissipate. The contents inside the buildings were instantly revealed.
However, there was nothing there.
Wang Teng frowned. The feeling of danger that had been present earlier seemed to disappear as the rubble and debris vanished. It was all very peculiar.
The group continued moving toward the buildings, grateful that they had the open space resembling a courtyard outside the structures, allowing them to advance without venturing deep inside.
The atmosphere here was eerily silent, with no sound except for the echoing of their footsteps as they walked.
The group had made an effort to walk quietly, but their footsteps still echoed in the strangely quiet environment.
This was indeed perplexing.
All of them were heaven-stage martial warriors, and their usual footsteps were nearly silent. Yet in this place, the sounds were magnified.
However, some sounds were normal. In comparison, they sounded out of place.
โSomething is off here,โ Wan Dong couldnโt help but speak up.
Everyone glanced at him. Their intention was clear. Everyone could see it.
Wan Dong appeared somewhat embarrassed. He was about to say something when his expression changed abruptly. He called out, โWhoโs there?โ
โWhatโs wrong?โ fre(e)novelkiss
The sudden alertness caught the rest of the group off guard. They followed Wan Dongโs gaze toward the interior of the building.
Wan Dong didnโt reply, but his gaze remained locked on a specific spot as he continued scanning the surroundings.
โWhat on earth happened?โ Cob couldnโt help but ask.
โThere was a shadow that just flashed by,โ Wan Dong said.
โA shadow?โ Cob looked a bit skeptical and said, โThatโs impossible. If there were any living creatures here, we should have sensed them.โ
The others furrowed their brows, indicating that they hadnโt sensed anything.
โI didnโt make a mistake. It was definitely a shadow, and it moved very fast,โ Wan Dong said, his expression serious.
The group was puzzled by his seriousness. It didnโt seem like a joke. Could there really be a shadow?
โI saw it too,โ Wang Teng opened his mouth and said.
His spiritual power had been scanning the inside of the building, but he hadnโt sensed the presence of a shadow. However, he had seen it with his own eyes.
Upon hearing Wang Tengโs confirmation, the group was even more surprised.
โDid you see what it was?โ Wan Dong asked.
โI didnโt see it clearly,โ Wang Teng shook his head. He felt a growing sense of unease because even with his Real Eye, he couldnโt discern where that shadow might be hiding.
โLook closely!โ Wang Teng said, his spiritual power sweeping across the building, causing large sections of it to turn to dust.
Wan Dong and the others stared intently but still saw nothing.
โLetโs continue forward,โ Wang Teng said with a hint of disappointment, and he started walking ahead.
Shortly after, a sudden cry rang out.
โI saw it! I saw it!โ One of the female martial warriors in the group suddenly exclaimed. She spoke loudly in the first half of her sentence but lowered her voice in the second half, as if afraid of being overheard.
Everyone came to a sudden halt and looked at the female martial warrior.
โDong Lei, you saw it too?โ Wan Dong asked her. She had orange hair and looked quite beautiful. At this moment, her face appeared a bit tense, and she spoke in a hushed tone.
โI saw it, but I still couldnโt see it clearly,โ Dong Lei replied.
The others had slightly changed expressions. A third person had seen it. It seemed that there was indeed something there.
Wang Teng toppled the building, turning it into dust, but still, there was nothing to be found.
However, in the following moments, the members of the team kept seeing the dark shadow flash by one after another. First, it was the queen, then Feng Mo, followed by Wu Cheng, Gikdor, and Cobโฆ
Everyone saw it, but almost always individually, without others seeing it simultaneously.
Only Wang Teng saw the recurring dark shadow throughout.
The only regret was that they still couldnโt make out the figureโs appearance.
The team felt uneasy, sensing the pervasive sense of eeriness in this place.
If it had been just one or two people seeing the shadow, that wouldnโt have been so significant.
But, everyone saw it and no one was able to observe it clearly. ๐ป๐๐๐๐ค๐๐ฃ๐โด๐ท๐๐.๐ธโด๐
Something seemed wrong!
โCould it be a ghost?โ Dong Leiโs expression appeared somewhat unnatural as she suddenly suggested.
โA ghost? Are there such things as ghosts in this world?โ Wan Dong scoffed and continued, โFor us martial warriors, ghosts would be considered soul bodies. Only powerful individuals can leave behind soul bodies, and they cannot freely wander outside. Do you think that black shadow could be a soul body?โ
โBut if itโs not a ghost, then what could it be?โ Dong Lei knew that her idea sounded silly, but she couldnโt help but think in that direction, feeling a shiver down her spine.
โEither way, it canโt be a ghost,โ Wan Dong affirmed.
Wang Teng paid no attention to their debate and continued walking ahead slowly. He wanted to find something useful, and if there were any inscriptions or texts, that would be even better. It might provide some clues.
โWang Teng, what do you think that black shadow is?โ Round Ball asked with a serious tone.
โMaybe it is a ghost,โ Wang Teng said with a faint smile.
โHave you seen something?โ Round Ball looked surprised and puzzled.
โI havenโt seen anything. Itโs just a wild guess,โ Wang Teng replied.
Round Ball was speechless. This fellow was making a wild guess. It almost believed him.
Boom!
At this moment, a distant section of the building complex crumbled with a roar, transforming into a cloud of dust and debris.
โWhatโs happening?โ The group was startled and immediately went on high alert.
Wang Teng furrowed his brow and sped up his pace toward the source of the commotion.
Wan Dong and the others quickly followed.
Boom!
Another explosion echoed through the air, causing the dust and debris from the collapsed buildings to spiral outwards. Emanating from this disturbance were surges of energy attacks, shooting into the sky.
โLetโs leave!โ
A shout came from within, followed by the sound of whizzing through the air as a group of people emerged from the buildings.
Wang Teng immediately halted his movement, squinting his eyes.
It turned out there were other people here!
It appeared that he was not the only one to discover the secret of the large-scale poison tide.
As the group burst out from the buildings, they were initially relieved, but they quickly noticed Wang Tengโs group. They halted several hundred meters away, watching them with cautious expressions.
โDamba!โ the queen suddenly spoke, her eyes flashing with a hint of coldness as she stared intensely at the approaching group.
The individuals who had appeared in front of Wang Tengโs group were indeed members of the snake race.
Among them, there were also several human combat warriors, judging from their attire and battle gear, they were from the Stellar Academies.
The group were astounded when they saw Wang Tengโs group.
Neither side broke the silence, merely assessing each other.
โCang Zhu, itโs you!โ
The leader on the opposite side was a tall, muscular snakeman. His lower body was a robust, dark green snake tail, in stark contrast to the graceful form of the queen.
Cang Zhu! Cang Yu! Wang Teng repeated in his heart.
His face exuded an imposing presence, and he spoke with a deep voice, furrowing his brow as he looked at the queen.
He questioned, โWhy are you here?โ
โIs that any of your business?โ The queen scoffed.
โHaha, true to your reputation, Queen of the Rui Snake City, youโre as fierce as ever. How have you considered my proposal from last time? Marry me, join forces with Ostrich-Snake City, and together, we can dominate the entire Scorpion King Star,โ the snakeman named Damba laughed heartily upon hearing the queenโs icy response.
โIn your dreams!โ The snakemen queenโs gaze turned sharper.
Wang Teng cast a strange look at the queen, surprised that even a queen could be forced into a marriage proposal.
Cang Zhu sensed Wang Tengโs gaze and turned her head abruptly. She glared at him.
โCough!โ Wang Teng cleared his throat and shrugged.
Damba shifted his gaze to Wang Teng, his expression darkening. He inquired in a monotonous tone, โCang Zhu, who is this friend?โ
Cang Zhu snorted. This time, she was too lazy to reply to him.
Damba felt a little awkward and sized up Wang Teng. It was evident that he recognized Wang Tengโs identity, and a trace of wariness flashed in his eyes. He inquired, โIs this friend from beyond the heavens?โ
