Looking at Gu Mingze, who was indignant, Cang Liu glanced at him lightly and suddenly interjected, "Is that so?"
"Uh, yes, yes?" For some reason, Gu Mingze felt a bit embarrassed and guilty. Cang Liu's gaze was too meaningful, making him suddenly deflate.
Yes, he was also a timid person, how could he have the right to advise others to be bold.
Cang Liu watched Gu Mingze suddenly stop like a duck with its throat choked. He rubbed Gu Mingze's hair and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry."
His voice was so light that Gu Mingze thought he had misheard. When he looked up again, Cang Liu had already walked out of the cave maze. He quickly followed.
"Miss Bai, according to the pattern, that underwater floating island should stop soon." Seeing Bai Cha put away her equipment as if she was done, Cang Liu stepped forward, "Someone will obstruct, and both factions will intervene. I have no good solution."
Many times, Cang Liu hated his own incompetence. He knew many things would happen, but he couldn't stop them. He couldn't stop enemies, nor could he stop Bai Cha. The only thing he succeeded in was making Mo Ziye and Bai Cha drift apart, but this was merely one of the hidden dangers.
"It's alright, if it were me, I wouldn't have a better solution either." Bai Cha rubbed her face vigorously, trying to make herself more alert. She patted Cang Liu's shoulder to comfort him, "I should be the one apologizing. Even in a peaceful era, I still lack the ability to give you a corner of peace."
What peaceful era? That was only for ordinary people. For her, when and where was it not a war?
Cang Liu fell silent. He guessed Bai Cha would be like this, or rather, she was always like this. No matter what happened, she always took the blame herself first.
"Let's go. Protect Gu Mingze in this mission. If there's any danger, take him away immediately and don't stay to help me. Even in my previous life, I probably wouldn't have died so quickly." Bai Cha shrugged as if joking, "Xiang Nan, you too, don't mind me when necessary."
"Alright, let's go find the floating island. I hope that demonic dragon can hold on so we can ask what happened. Maybe we can get some news about the Dragon Mother."
Actually, this demonic dragon was special to everyone. It didn't resonate with humans by transforming into an embryo like Lucifer and Asmodeus, nor did it go mad and get controlled by the Dragon Mother.
Bai Cha guessed that the Dragon Mother might have more than one method to invade Earth. There must be other contingency plans. For example, initially using Andusia as a medium to create a world bubble to trap Lucifer and attempt to reclaim Lucifer. Bai Cha felt that Leviathan might be in a similar situation.
As soon as she vaguely saw the floating stones in the sea, Bai Cha sensed someone watching them. It was a gaze filled with hostility and calculation that made Bai Cha feel disgusted.
Her phone vibrated. Bai Cha lowered her head, glanced at the incoming call, connected the voice to her communication earpiece, and said in a low voice, "Don't come over."
"I know, we are observing. There are no abnormal fluctuations outside the floating stones." Athena said, "We are at sixty-eight degrees east-northeast of the floating stones, forming an obtuse angle with you."
Actually, her and Bai Cha's actions this time should have been separate, but Athena naturally reported the current situation to Bai Cha. Perhaps this was the tacit understanding between strong individuals with the same goal. The two naturally developed a tacit understanding of partnership and alliance.
"There's a problem with the hardness of the floating stones. They don't seem like ordinary rocks. It's possible they are using illusions to protect themselves." Bai Cha lowered her voice, her head bowed, preventing the ill-intentioned peepers from seeing her lips move.
"Someone is monitoring me, numbering fifteen to twenty people. I can hear the sound of machinery operating, so they are prepared." Bai Cha stopped and looked at the now quiet floating stones not far away, her expression serious. "How about your side?"
"There are about ten to thirteen people here. The situation is similar to yours. We haven't made a move to drive them away on your instructions." Athena also stopped. They could already see each other on opposite sides of the floating stones.
As they got closer to the floating stones, both Athena and Bai Cha noticed something strange. The floating stones gave off a peculiar feeling, sometimes feeling like real rocks, and at other times like illusions.
"Back up a bit, fly straight up fifteen meters." Bai Cha tapped her earphone. This communication was not only for Lucifer and the others behind her but also for Athena.
Athena exchanged a look with Zeus and quickly retreated with Apollo. As soon as they retreated to the range Bai Cha had specified, scarlet energy, like a whip, stirred up the underwater currents and whipped out all the people secretly spying around them.
A series of mixed groans sounded around them, accompanied by the crackling of scrapped machinery. Bai Cha stood at the forefront, her expression arrogant and disdainful. She scanned the people who were whipped down onto the seabed, eating sand, their eyes filled with warnings.
"You really think I'm blind? Do you think these mere machines can make me let you off?" Bai Cha's gaze was cold. She kicked over a giant rock beside her. "Get lost!"
This...
Athena's heart turned cold, and she looked at Bai Cha with some worry. She could clearly feel that not only were the people targeting Bai Cha becoming more hateful towards her, but even those who were spying on their side were transferring their hatred to Bai Cha.
Although unwilling, seeing Bai Cha's demeanor, this group of people still retreated far away, not daring to provoke her sharpness. At least in terms of strength, absolutely no one in the entire world wanted to confront Bai Cha.
"I advise you to retreat further. Remaining within a hundred meters of a killer is considered provocation." Bai Cha swung the blood-red whip in her hand.
Even in the sea, the red whip swung with incredible speed. Those with ill intentions quickly scrambled backward, not daring to provoke this malevolent star again.
"I'll go first. Pay attention to my vital signs. If everything is fine, Athena and Lucifer, you come in. The others stay outside. If necessary, you can kill them, and say it's my order." Bai Cha said, approaching the floating stone.
The floating stone looked extremely calm, showing no sign that someone was quietly approaching it. Bai Cha placed her hand on it, but the floating stone still showed no movement.
No reaction?
Bai Cha and her group were all puzzled. Bai Cha touched the floating stone, moving cautiously around this massive small island. To the touch, it seemed to be just a normal, huge rock. Until Bai Cha's hand suddenly felt like it went through nothing, and her whole body tilted forward.
This area also looked like the surface of a stone, no different from other places, all deep blue, irregularly shaped rocks. However, when Bai Cha placed her hand on this one, it seemed to pass through without any obstruction, as if sinking into a muddy swamp.
Bai Cha frowned and, after thinking for a moment, did not activate her powers to try and destroy the giant rock. Black demonic energy snaked upwards, carrying a trace of imperceptible blood energy, slowly probing inwards. Immediately, a suction force came, and Bai Cha disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Vital signs normal." Gu Mingze quickly reported the data on the detector. According to the data displayed so far, Bai Cha was completely normal and did not seem to be in any danger. Even her heart rate had not changed significantly.
"It should be spatial fluctuations caused by energy resonance. When Miss Bai used her demonic power just now, it reached the same peak as the energy fluctuations within the stone." Gu Mingze calculated for two minutes before giving everyone the conclusion: "The error of same-source energy seems to be able to deceive the space inside."
And Bai Cha was currently in a dazed state.
Even she had never seen such a scene.
She had been at the bottom of the sea just moments ago, cautiously exploring before the giant floating stones, in the dim and damp environment, even feeling the pressure of the deep sea. But now, she was on another magnificent floating island.
No seawater, no pressure, no enemies. The sun was setting in the west, not scorching like midday but emitting a soft warmth. The occasional passing clouds were dyed a faint red.
Various rockeries and giant stones floated in the air, connected by golden chains. Together with scattered trees and waterfalls, they formed a beautiful landscape, all suspended in the air.
Quiet, only quiet. The gurgling water, occasional insect chirps, and intermittent bird songs made this pure land even more tranquil.
Is this... an illusion? Impossible, right?
Bai Cha was shocked. Every flower, grass, and tree here was so real that it felt nothing like an illusion, nor was there any danger. It didn't seem like anyone was here either.
Bai Cha lightly knocked on the rockery next to her, then punched it. Bai Cha didn't use her full strength for this punch. A corner of this oddly shaped rockery immediately shattered, and the broken stones rolled down. It was solid, not an illusion, but a real rock.
Bai Cha shook her slightly aching hand and thoughtfully plucked a leaf from a tree. Black flames ignited, and the leaf quickly curled up and burned. Bai Cha blinked, looking a bit bewildered.
This was also a real leaf, not an illusion. This was actually a real world?
No way? How could there be a world bubble here? This shouldn't be a world bubble either. It was too small, only about a third of the size of a Chinese province.
There were three enormous floating rockeries in the air. Each rockery was connected to several smaller mountain ranges by golden chains. Bai Cha tested those golden chains and found that they were just ordinary gold-plated chains, they didn't attack people actively, and they were also real.
With a few leaps, Bai Cha came to a mountain spring waterfall. Water rushed down from the spring eye, and water continuously emerged from the spring eye, for unknown reasons. Bai Cha took out a small bottle, filled it with some water, and a screen on the small bottle immediately began to scroll, displaying a series of numbers.
According to the data, it was normal water.
Bai Cha fanned it with her hand, then cautiously brought it closer to her nose and sniffed it. She then dipped her finger in it and tasted it.
It was odorless and tasteless, just pure mountain spring water!
Originally, Bai Cha thought that the "underwater secret realm" that everyone casually referred to was just an ordinary demonic dragon's lair, but she never expected that this would actually be a secret realm.
A pure land of the evening glow, it could even be called an immortal's grotto-heaven. If Freya were here, she would be very happy, and might even plan her retirement here. Thinking of this, Bai Cha silently picked up her phone and took a picture.
"Master." Lucifer also arrived here and stood beside Bai Cha. Athena and Raphael followed closely. They were all quite shocked by the scene before them. They never imagined that in a technologically advanced society that had already fatigued people's vision, there would still be such a pure land grotto-heaven.
"This is a real world, I just tested it." Bai Cha leaned against a rockery, unable to understand. "This can't be a world bubble, right? Even you and I don't have the ability to create something like this."
"They are all real?" Athena asked in surprise.
Bai Cha nodded affirmatively.
Even demonic power, blood fiend energy, mental power, and various other things that only appeared in fantasy novels from thousands of years ago could be explained by modern people. But apart from world bubbles extending from world trees, how could new real worlds be born?
"They are all real." Athena plucked a leaf and crushed it in her hand. Her fair and delicate hands immediately showed green juice from the leaves, and she could even smell the fragrance of green leaves.
