Chapter 800: Chapter 801 Departure?_1

"Anrui Caverns has met with disaster too..."

With a helpless look, Captain Yang paused for a moment before tapping his fingers continuously on the tabletop, and after a long deliberation, he asked,

"How many spare agents does the Special Bureau have left now?"

"None..."

Following a brief silence, Captain Yang took out his cell phone, and after a while, put it away and said to the team member in front of him,

"Go check, where was the last known location of that guy?"

"Who?"

"Feng Yuan."

"In that case, I might as well keep participating in the event."

Watching the Space Gate slowly close in front of him, Feng Yuan said with a smile, while Agunas, looking skeptical, asked him,

"Where does that Space Gate lead to?"

"Secret~"

Hearing Feng Yuan’s response, everyone felt a bit strange, but they still let go of some of their worries—at least it seemed they were not trapped here with no way out.

"Hey, you guys! The Lake’s Brave Ones event is temporarily canceled! Come with us, quickly!"

At that moment, a man dressed in the defense squad’s uniform stood in the distance, calling out loudly to Feng Yuan and the others. He was already surrounded by several competitors with unfriendly looks. Unlike Qi Chen and his group, who were informed of the emergency at Lake Bai Dao through Feng Yuan, these people had no clue about the situation. Given that the communication system only failed outside Lake Bai Dao, it was causing confusion among them.

Some even suspected the defense squad member in uniform was up to no good or had some ulterior motive, aimed at eliminating the competitors with good scores. After all, it wasn’t impossible to trick those contestants located near Yongzhen Island away, considering their strength wasn’t inferior.

"One, two, three, four..."

Seeing Feng Yuan and his group approaching, the defense squad member quickly counted the people and then said,

"Fifty-three, barely enough. Follow me, I’ll take you to Turtle Spirit Island."

"What for? That place isn’t part of the event area, is it?"

The crowd grew even more suspicious of his intentions. Turtle Spirit Island housed the defense squad, so it was excluded from the Lake’s Brave Ones event islands. Now that they were being led there, suspicions naturally arose.

"Stop complaining! If I say go, you go!"

Clearly annoyed, the defense squad member yelled, growing impatient after having to explain repeatedly. Moreover, these contestants weren’t ordinary people; some of them were just as strong, or even stronger, than the squad members. And now they were supposed to protect them, rather than join forces and fight alongside them, which caused some dissatisfaction within him.

Considering the doubts these persistently questioning competitors raised, he preferred to evacuate ordinary people rather than those who were apparently capable of defending themselves.

"With so many people, can Turtle Spirit Island really accommodate us all? It might be better to move to Yongzhen Island and help with the defense there."

Feng Yuan commented nonchalantly. In his opinion, concentrating everyone on Yongzhen Island was much more sensible than on Turtle Spirit Island. Hearing this, the defense squad member glanced at Feng Yuan and said,

"What do you know! What’s at Yongzhen Island, huh?!"

"I don’t think the defense system of Turtle Spirit Island is any stronger than Yongzhen Island’s, and in such a situation, there’s no difference between Turtle Spirit Island and Yongzhen Island. At least if the Ancient Ruins launched an attack, no one could withstand it."

"What did you say?!"

The defense squad member looked at Feng Yuan in surprise as if he had discovered something he hadn’t noticed himself otherwise. Shrugging, Feng Yuan, holding Xiao Ji, said,

"Go ahead if you want to, but we won’t be joining you on Turtle Spirit Island. So, the Lake’s Brave Ones event is definitely canceled?"

"Well..."

Because of Feng Yuan’s seemingly knowledgeable demeanor, the defense squad member hesitated, then whispered,

"They haven’t officially announced anything at Yongzhen Island yet, but it’s likely to be..."

"Since that’s the case, we’ll just have to change our plans then~ How about taking on the challenge of the Ancient Ruins?"

Feng Yuan said with a mischievous grin, looking at Qi Chen, while Agunas, speechless, protested,

"Don’t mess around. I can’t guarantee their safety in these circumstances."

"I think we’d better not..."

Qi Chen said somewhat sheepishly. Considering the situation, the Ancient Ruins seemed even more formidable than the Emerald Ruins. Feng Yuan might not be able to protect them, and even if he could, there was no need to take the risk, right?

"Fine, with the little time we have left, let’s get going."

"Going where?"

Qi Chen asked subconsciously, then realizing, it seemed they couldn’t leave Dao Lake City at the moment. Feng Yuan glanced at the defense squad member and said,

"Back to school, of course. Do you really want to stay here for a vacation?"

"It’s no longer possible to leave the vicinity of Lake Bai Dao now, not from the sky nor from below. Every direction is blocked, and the same goes for the Space Gate."

The defense squad member said with some resignation. He had thought Feng Yuan knew something they didn’t, but it turned out it was just about opening a Space Gate. As he prepared to say something, Agunas spoke up with a serious expression,

"I don’t know where you just tried to open the gate to, but the only power you can use right now is just that one, and I wouldn’t mistake that dead silence for anything; have you considered whether they can even get through such a place?!"

"They can, as long as they are protected."

Feng Yuan looked calmly at Agunas and answered, then, after a moment of hesitation, Agunas flicked its tail and said,

"Aren’t you going to take care of them?"

"No."

"I don’t believe you."

Staring at Feng Yuan, Agunas spoke earnestly, and Feng Yuan smiled and said,

"As long as they don’t die right in front of me, that’s fine. If I save everyone, when would I ever be free?"

"Feng Yuan..."

Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan, not knowing what to say, and Dou Yanlan thought for a moment, shook her head, and said,

"Leave a solution for them; it will make you feel better too."

Feng Yuan glanced at Agunas and said,

"Why don’t you stay?"

Agunas flicked its tail and stayed silent for a while, and Xiao Ji looked at Feng Yuan uneasily. After a while, Agunas nodded and said,

"I can."

"Then we’re leaving first."

Feng Yuan said and waved the Dark Ancient Book, a dark Space Gate opened up in front of him. He glanced at Li Xiaowei, who was curiously examining the Space Gate and asked,

"Do you want to come with us?"

After thinking for a while, Li Xiaowei shook her head and said,

"No, I want to help them."

"Suit yourself, we’re heading off then."

"How can you just leave?~"

Feeling a hand on his shoulder, Feng Yuan, without turning, said,

"Otherwise, why would you appear on your own initiative?"

"This doesn’t quite fit my job description, does it~"

Gitalien said somewhat guiltily; it had not intended to bother with this place at first, but what emerged here was beyond its expectations. Agunas alone might not be enough to contain it, so it had to hurry over.

"Did you speak like that before just to draw it out?"

Agunas asked with a flick of its tail, somewhat displeased, and Feng Yuan calmly scanned the surroundings and said,

"Not really, I did feel like leaving too, after all, the ruins don’t hold much significance for me, and besides, these ruins wouldn’t provide Qi Chen and the others with any real combat experience."

"Are you so sure?"

Gitalien looked skeptically at Feng Yuan; it didn’t even understand what was going on with the Ancient Ruins, and its spatial authority couldn’t peek into them. When it asked Lorraine Tower earlier, they had no clear answers, aside from making use of it to absorb the Space Shockwave brought by Time Roar.

"What’s there to be unsure about? That thing is just mixed with something else, causing you some trouble in identifying it, but as a result, it caused the detailed data to appear here on my side."

As he fiddled with the Dark Ancient Book in his hand, Feng Yuan said annoyedly, and Gitalien thought for a moment and said,

"How about going on a trip there with me?"

"No way, and that place is too big. Let’s find somewhere to settle down for a rest and have something to eat before anything else."

"Big?"

"The interior space is about the size of three or four continents, what do you think? And your authority will definitely be restricted inside there."

Feng Yuan said without any pretense. As he spoke, he scooped up Xiao Ji and started walking towards the dock, saying,

"Let’s make a stop at Yongzhen Island. We’ll have something to eat there before setting off."

The guard behind him was in a flurry, unable to speak. Seeing that no one objected, Feng Yuan turned to Agunas and said,

"I’ll leave it to you, set sail~"

"Set sail?"

Agunas asked, puzzled, and Feng Yuan stuffed the Dark Ancient Book into its arms and said,

"Nether Cross~"
