Chapter 745: 745

It was hard to tell how much time had passed.

Tang Zhong finally woke up slowly.

As he opened his eyes, he found himself naked and lying on the ground.

"Why... why am I on the ground?" Tang Zhong murmured.

Then he got up from the ground and looked around, only to be immediately shocked by the scene, which resembled a ruin.

"Did I do all this?" Memories of what had happened before vaguely resurfaced in Tang Zhong’s mind.

It seemed his pupils had turned red, and at that moment, he wanted nothing but to kill.

And now, the area around him looked like this, all his own doing.

Moreover, at that time, he thought he was going to die, but now he had survived.

Tang Zhong felt an extraordinary sense of exhilaration.

He clenched his fists.

Only then did he realize that the power inside his body had grown stronger than before. How could this be?

Suddenly, he remembered that he had seemingly advanced from a Martial Arts Grandmaster to the Martial Arts Peak.

The current Tang Zhong felt as light as a feather, and he threw a punch forward.

Immediately, a booming sound followed.

The movement of the air in front of him was visibly apparent.

His fist could now stir the air.

This was to compare with the speed of airflow.

Was this the power of a Martial Arts Peak?

However, none of that was important right now. How long had he been lying here?

He wasn’t sure if the members of the White Tiger Team were safe, afraid that he might have killed them all when he was killing others.

It seemed he must leave this place now.

Just then, Tang Zhong heard a croaking sound.

Looking down, he saw the Blood Toad that he had encountered before, now lying on the ground.

"You... why are you here?" Tang Zhong asked.

"Croak!" replied the toad.

Tang Zhong reached out to touch the toad.

This time, the toad did not run away.

It meant that the toad had acknowledged him, which was really good news for Tang Zhong.

"I’m leaving this place. If you want to come with me, hop onto my hand now!" Tang Zhong crouched down and said to the toad.

Without hesitation, the toad jumped right onto him.

"Good, then I’ll take you away now," Tang Zhong smiled and said.

Then he picked up the toad.

By now, he had almost figured out the use of this toad, which could spray powerful Blood Power.

His breakthrough had been thanks to this toad. It seemed that the toad had been absorbing his blood and then released the Blood Power for Tang Zhong to absorb, which led to his breakthrough.

Now that the toad was in hand, it was even more important to leave this place.

After that, Tang Zhong went back the way he had come.

He had not expected to benefit from misfortune this time, not only breaking through but also subduing the toad.

"Wait for me, Mom and Dad. When your child returns, he will rebuild your tongue!" Tang Zhong said excitedly.

Afterwards, like a phantom, he shot forward, moving rapidly.

At this moment, on a small island at the Arctic base.

Still inside the Xuan Country base.

The members of the White Tiger Team were gathered, each wearing frowns of worry.

No one spoke a word.

White Tiger sat by the table, smoking a cigarette, looking notably older.

Finally, someone could no longer sit still and stood up, addressing White Tiger, "Team Leader, we can’t keep waiting like this. It’s been a week and General Tang hasn’t appeared. We need to go look for him!"

"But, we don’t even know the way back to that valley anymore, how are we supposed to find him?"

"Exactly!"

They had left that valley a week ago!

At that time, an unprecedented earthquake had struck the valley. Fortunately, the Earth’s crust exploded and blasted them out of the valley, landing them directly into the sea, sparing their lives.

After returning to this small island, they hadn’t ventured out again.

Because Tang Zhong had previously ordered them to ensure their own safety!

They were convinced that Tang Zhong would make it out alive.

But the wait had already lasted a week. Not only was there no sign of Tang Zhong, there wasn’t even a bit of information about him.

That was when everyone started to become anxious.

Tang Zhong had drawn away that stone man to save them, something they could never forget.

So, they had gone to look for Tang Zhong, heading back along the road they came, but the road was gone, meaning any trace of the valley was also gone.

Hearing everyone’s words, White Tiger finally stopped smoking, placed the cigarette butt in the ashtray, and said, "Take this message back to Xuan Country, tell them General Tang died in the line of duty!"

"We can’t do this, Team Leader White Tiger!"

"Exactly!"

Only a few people objected, but most shut their mouths.

Because it had already been a week with no appearance, it was very likely that Tang Zhong was already dead.

They remembered the powerful earthquake in the valley; perhaps General Tang was now buried with the soil there. Even if he hadn’t died, after so long, he would have starved to death, not to mention the numerous dangers in the area. No one could forget the perils they faced in the valley—it was unforgettable for a lifetime.

White Tiger didn’t believe Tang Zhong was dead, but the reality was right before him, forcing him to believe.

"Let’s report it that way!"

When everyone heard this, no one said anything further.

"Since General Tang sacrificed himself here, we, as his comrades, should give him a simple funeral!" White Tiger continued. No one objected.

"Let’s do it with the honors of a martyr!" White Tiger said.

When a martyr dies, guns should be fired towards the sky.

"This is the Arctic. We don’t need an open field; let’s do it right here!" White Tiger said, then took out his gun and aimed it at the ceiling.

Seeing this, everyone lowered their heads and took off their caps.

This was a sign of respect.

From the moment Tang Zhong drew away the stone to save them, he had earned their utmost respect.

"I’ll count to three, I’ll shoot, and you all shout ’farewell!’" White Tiger said.

"One!"

"Two!"

"Three!"

White Tiger’s finger was on the trigger of the gun, and the other members of the White Tiger Team were also ready to speak.

The simple memorial for Tang Zhong was about to proceed.

Just at that moment, there was a noisy commotion outside the door—clanging, as if someone was smashing something.

The noise was loud, startling everyone present.

"What’s going on outside?" White Tiger asked in surprise, lowering his pistol.

"We don’t know!" the members each shook their heads.

No one had expected a sudden noise to intrude.

Suddenly, a shout came from outside, "People of Xuan Country, come out now!"
