Chapter 799: Chapter 800 Mutation_1

"How could she be here?"

Feng Yuan looked at Meng Binglan in the distance somewhat surprisedly, as if feeling someone watching her, Meng Binglan turned her head and saw Feng Yuan, walking forward with Xiao Ji. Feng Yuan asked with curiosity,

"What are you doing here?"

Biting her vermilion lip, Meng Binglan hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice,

"Do you know the interior structure of the ruins here?"

"The interior structure?"

Feng Yuan glanced at Meng Binglan strangely, and recalling something, he looked at her with surprise and said,

"Don’t tell me you’ve already broken through the outer barrier?!"

"You know?"

Meng Binglan paused, looking somewhat strangely at Feng Yuan, and then he said with a dark face and some anger,

"Don’t you know that the ancient ruins of Lake Bai Dao are very dangerous? Even those Divine Beasts wouldn’t easily deal with the ruins—yet you’re bold enough to try."

"I don’t have the internal map, and I haven’t been there either. If you really want to know, you could ask Lorraine Tower yourself; it has made use of these ruins."

"However, if you mess around and cause any trouble, I won’t be cleaning up after you!"

Knowing Meng Binglan’s identity, Feng Yuan didn’t want to say much more. Stopping her now might even bring trouble to himself. But now that he knew it was her who was eyeing the ancient ruins, he wasn’t so worried; it was the Hunters he feared might wreak havoc.

The damage they could cause compared to these more cautious researchers was slightly different, though not by much.

After arguing for a while, Meng Binglan watched the departing Feng Yuan, biting her lip, seemingly wanting to say more.

"Why do you seem so unhappy?"

Qi Chen, who was applying medicine, noticed Feng Yuan’s unusual demeanor and asked while continuing to treat his wounds. During the daytime fight, he had been accidentally struck by a powerful move. Although Feng Yuan had wanted to ask Agunas to use the Rain of Life to heal him, he had refused, saying it was also a part of actual combat experience.

"I’m not unhappy, it’s just that I saw Meng Binglan just now..."

"Meng Binglan?"

After trying hard to remember, Qi Chen recalled the female researcher who had been with Captain Yang during the Yognot incident. He looked at Feng Yuan with a puzzled expression and asked,

"What about her?"

"She seems to have brought people here to excavate this ancient ruin..."

"Why won’t she learn from almost dying once..."

Feng Yuan said somewhat helplessly. Although he didn’t know the exact situation with this ancient ruin, from Gitalien and the others’ attitude, it was definitely not a simple matter. Although for him and Lorraine Tower, these ruins were not a threat to them.

But, the ruin that accidentally encountered a complete Nien Wheel caused great destruction to the surrounding area when the Nien Wheel went berserk, while for Ernis and the others, it was an easily solvable problem.

"This... maybe there’s some misunderstanding?"

Qi Chen didn’t know how to defend her, although he thought Meng Binglan wouldn’t be that foolish.

"Who knows..."

After several calm days, Feng Yuan, feeling somewhat bored, sensed a strange force sweeping by. He turned his head and said to Agunas,

"Go check out the situation!"

Saying so, Feng Yuan tossed the Dark Ancient Book he held. The premonition of time had only given him a hint of danger, but he didn’t dare take it lightly. A black spherical Barrier instantly enveloped Qi Chen and the others. Seeing Feng Yuan suddenly making a move, Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan quickly drew closer to him.

"Strange..."

Li Xiaowei looked around, puzzled. At the moment, the group was on a small island near Yongzhen Island, having just completed the island’s challenge and were preparing to head toward Yongzhen Island, with only a day and a bit left till the end of the event.

"Is there a problem? Hurry over here."

Feng Yuan scanned Li Xiaowei and called out. Looking around, Li Xiaowei asked with some confusion,

"Can your barrier block communications from the new communication system?"

"No."

"Then why is my livestreaming room out of signal..."

"Someone has triggered the ancient ruins."

Feng Yuan said somewhat discontentedly. Had he not encountered Meng Binglan a few days ago, he would have wanted to grab her and ask why she was being so reckless. At first, Li Xiaowei was a bit puzzled, then, realizing what he meant, her expression changed to one of shock and she said,

"Someone has triggered the ancient ruins here?! That’s impossible, isn’t it? Isn’t this a forbidden excavation area?!"

Because some ruins are very dangerous, but the Divine Beasts have not dealt with them, various countries have set up areas where excavation is prohibited. No archaeological digs or excavations of the ancient ruins are allowed in these areas.

"Maybe someone made an exception."

Dou Yanlan thought for a moment and said, the prohibition on excavation was only relative; if they deemed it necessary, they would naturally excavate, but...

Dou Yanlan looked at Feng Yuan with confusion and said,

"When excavating such dangerous areas, shouldn’t all personnel be evacuated in advance?"

"I don’t know. If we go by the rules, they have already seriously violated them. I’m just not sure whether they came sneakily or..."

Shaking his head, Feng Yuan hugged Xiao Ji to prevent it from flying into the sky. The black Barrier slowly contracted but just enough to protect everyone. Seeing Li Xiaowei looking over, Feng Yuan explained,

"If we maintain too large an area, it will attract attention."

Patting Xiao Ji’s head, Feng Yuan said,

"Let’s wait for Agunas’s investigation. We don’t know what exactly happened yet. This ancient ruin seems not to be so simple."

Looking at the almost unchanged surroundings, Qi Chen said with some confusion,

"What did the ancient ruins do?"

"Block signals?"

Li Xiaowei asked with some confusion. In her opinion, it should just be a communication blockout, but Feng Yuan shook his head looking at Li Xiaowei and said,

"It’s not that. At this moment, the entire Lake Bai Dao is not in the real world; it has been pulled into another space, and..."

Looking up at the sky, Feng Yuan said in a low voice,

"This space feels very strange to me. It seems somewhat incomplete, yet also somewhat like..."

"Unable to find an entrance or exit, how exactly did they enter the ancient ruins?"

Agunas walked around and said with a hint of confusion. At this time, it wasn’t only the communication in the Data Domain that had been cut off; Agunas was astonished to find that even the intelligence network of the Divine Beasts was being blocked, so it couldn’t even get in touch with Gitalien to inquire about the specifics.

At this moment, Dao Lake City also discovered the anomaly. All external communications were disconnected and were ineffective, even when the special forces and garrisons used their special communication systems.

"Has it really happened... Notify them to try and gather all the people from the islands to Turtle Spirit Island..."

The middle-aged man who had once confronted Feng Yuan and the others helplessly closed his eyes and ordered the person next to him. After hesitating for a moment, the person saluted and said,

"Report, if we do this, Turtle Spirit Island’s food reserves..."

"This is an order!"

"Yes!"

Seeing the middle-aged man get angry, the person did not dare to say more and quickly turned and left. The middle-aged man sighed, looking out the window and muttered to himself,

"I wonder if they’ll notice the anomaly here..."

"The entire Lake Bai Dao area has completely disappeared? Haven’t you guys traced it?"

Receiving the report, Captain Yang said in shock, the Lake Bai Dao area was not small, and he had only paid attention to that place because of her words. He had not expected the prophecy to come true.

"We’ve traced it... But... We can’t find it..."

"What about the Data Domain? Can’t contact them through the Data Domain either?"

"No, those Data-based Spirit Beasts can’t find the actual location of Lake Bai Dao from within the Data Domain, as if... the Lake Bai Dao area has disappeared from this world..."

Drumming his fingers on the table, Captain Yang said with a serious expression,

"Does the emergency response department know about this? Have the Elder Council and the Yimu Qingling Tower been notified?"

"Notices have been sent out to them, but Yimu Qingling Tower has not responded, the Elder Council only acknowledged receipt, and the emergency response department..."

The special service bureau agent hesitated for a moment and said,

"The emergency response department stated that this is beyond their scope of resolution."

"What are they talking about! They actually want to disassociate themselves from this matter?!"

Seeing Captain Yang cursing the emergency response department, the special service bureau agent shrank his neck and waited a while before saying,

"They said they don’t have the capacity, and moreover... A severe disaster event occurred in Luolga City, with strange energies continuously emanating from the Anrui Caverns, and they are now dealing with the abnormalities in the Anrui Caverns with all their might."
