Above the gray fog

Nine months later.

After making the decision, the five people first boarded a long-distance starship, then entered the jump channel, and finally took a floating car like a rural bus.

After getting off the car, what came into view was a small town that was not very prosperous.

The buildings in the town were mostly low stone structures, and the walls were covered with traces of weathering and moss.

The streets were paved with rough stone slabs, and some weeds stubbornly poked their heads out from the gaps. Occasionally, some old floating cars could be seen parked between the houses.

There were few people in the town, and most pedestrians passed by in a hurry, with frost and fatigue on their faces, and their clothes were simple and practical.

The vendors on the street set up simple stalls, selling some daily necessities and food, and the air was filled with a faint smell of smoke and food.

The town was surrounded by low hills and sparse trees. Occasionally, birds flew by in the distant sky, adding a touch of vitality to the lonely town.

Wu Huo's eyes were fixed on the back of the town. "It should be here. This is the westernmost gathering place of the Xichui Territory.

Going west from this town, it is the border of Xichui."

Su Ziyi nodded slightly. "According to the data, the Xichui Territory is the least developed territory among the affiliated territories of the Keonglanglu World. The civilizations that make up the Xichui Territory are numerous and diverse. They were forcibly merged by force at the beginning. Even now, some areas still have wars from time to time."

"The border of Xichui is not in the territory of Xichui, but in the void with a diameter of 1.1 billion light years outside the territory of Xichui. There were originally two circles in this area, but a war eight thousand years ago destroyed this area. If there is a hole in the boundary wall here, it is likely to be a trace left at that time." Yao Liu continued.

Lin Shan and Lao Wang stared blankly at the side. Seeing them talking to each other, they felt like a burden.

"Let's find a place to rest." Yao Liu said.

"Yeah." Su Ziyi nodded.

Everyone found a hotel to stay in.

Meet up in Wu Huo's room.

In the room.

The so-called rest, of course, has a purpose.

Su Ziyi began to fiddle with a device, which looked like a complex metal instrument, with a disc-shaped shape, a blue light ball in the center, and various buttons and display screens around it.

According to Su Ziyi's explanation, the function of this device is a radar, which can detect whether there are beast fluctuations within a billion light years.

Su Ziyi carefully operated the device, adjusted several parameters, and pressed the start button.

The device made a slight humming sound, and the blue light ball began to flash. After a few seconds, some fluctuating images appeared on the display.

"Got it, a lot." Su Ziyi showed a happy expression and pointed to the data on the display.

A series of densely packed fluctuating signals appeared on the display, which Lin Shan could not understand, but there were beasts here, which was enough to prove that the news they received was true.

"It seems that our intelligence is correct. There is indeed something abnormal here." Wu Huo breathed a sigh of relief. If the news is false, it means that they have fallen into the enemy's trap. No one knows what will happen then. In short, it will definitely not be a good thing.

"There is a hole! The fluctuation of the hole has been detected." Su Ziyi continued, "All the beasts came out of this hole... but it's a little strange..."

"What's strange?" Lao Wang approached the images, "Since we have locked it, let's release our perception to capture that Payne Allen. There are so many of us, no matter how powerful he is, he can't last more than a few rounds."

Su Ziyi pointed out the unreasonable part, "Payne Allen came here to suppress the beasts, but the number of beasts in the area ahead exceeds one million, including large beasts at the level of sequence 1. They seem to have used the hole as a base and started to encroach on the surrounding area. I'm afraid it won't be long before it will affect this place. This doesn't look like a group of beasts that have been suppressed."

"It means... half of the news we got is true and half is false. What's true is... there are indeed beasts in this place, and what's false is... Payne Allen didn't come here to suppress them." Wu Huo realized that something was wrong.

"If he didn't come? Where is he now?" Yao Liu frowned, and then realized something, and his pupils shrank slightly.

"Of course, he's watching you!" A voice suddenly came to the ears of the five people.

Then, a thousand-foot-long light shone under their feet.

When the light dissipated, they had been transferred to another place.

Not far away was a huge hole with a diameter of billions of kilometers. Countless beasts kept gnawing at the edge of the hole, causing it to gradually expand.

"The void with a radius of one billion light years was blocked by a cage." Lin Shan said, and he found that they were trapped in a huge "bird cage".

The outer wall of the bird cage was composed of countless intertwined energy lines, like an invisible net, trapping them firmly in it.

In this space, the void was as solid as steel. Their life level was high, and it had little effect on them. If low-level gods were in this area, they would definitely be unable to move, and even die directly.

"Although this is also expected..." Wu Huo angrily punched the void, but because there were beasts not far away, he did not dare to use too much force.

A huge projection appeared in front of them.

That was their target-Paine Allen.

Payne Allen had blond hair and a handsome and cold face, but his eyes glowed with a strange purple light. There were tiny scales on his arms and back, reflecting a dark luster, showing inhuman features.

"You evil people, you want to destroy the world."

"The glory of the old days has long faded, why do you want to destroy the prosperous Yuanchu?"

Payne Allen asked slowly.

Wu Huo asked, "When did you find us?"

"When you entered the world of Keonglanglu, the shielding device you used had already been cracked by the Thirteen Divisions. The Yuanting had long known that what happened in Shuristan was your doing."

"The Yuanting means that you Green Sun will be dealt with in the end."

"Since you have taken the initiative to deliver yourself to the door, that's just right. The time in the Gray Mist Universe is running out. Without the five of you, it should be able to extend it for a few more years."

Su Ziyi sneered, "Only you Yuanting can come up with such a trick to push us old days to the opposite side of the universe. You know the real situation best."

"I don't want to argue with you any more. It just so happens that these beasts make me feel troublesome. If you want to see me, just deal with these beasts first."

Before he finished speaking, Payne Allen began to emit a dark purple light.

All the beasts raised their heads and stared at the purple light.

"Boom!"

The projection suddenly exploded in the wild beasts.

Although it caused little damage, this action successfully attracted their attention.

They quickly searched for their target and finally locked their sights on Lin Shan and others.

"Roar!"

"Woo!"

"Buzz!"
