Chapter 2238

The white fissure grew smaller and smaller.

As the Overlord's team pressed onward, the white fissure closed completely.

In the end, it became a single, straight, extremely long white line.

The next second, the white line vanished.

Behind them, only the grey chaotic space remained.

Shadows flickered all around.

The white phantom figures showed up very clearly here.

But Zhao Chi knew these phantoms were only visible to allies; others couldn't see them.

Su Qin stayed close beside him.

Watching her movements, she was very light and quick, showing no effort at all.

Zhao Chi also felt his stamina was full, enough to keep running for a long time yet.

The surrounding Overlords were in the same state.

Right now, apart from all kinds of buffs, everyone also had the blessing of the Carefree Spring, so their stamina recovered very quickly.

He didn't know how long had passed.

The surroundings were still dim.

There were no reference points at all.

Although they had been sprinting the whole time, it felt as if they hadn't moved from the same spot.

They hadn't seen any werewolves at all.

That was a good thing.

Checking the time, only a little over ten minutes had passed.

But Zhao Chi always felt the actual time had been longer.

In this spatial rift, perception seemed to be affected as well.

At this moment, Guan Zhiyong and Lu Yibing at the very front slowed down.

A forced system message popped up.

It was text:

【Guan Zhiyong】:

【Everyone stop】

【We need to top up our status now】

【Don't make a sound, don't make any unnecessary moves, post in the group chat if there's any situation】

Soon, the team came to a halt.

Lu Yibing beckoned.

Seemingly greeting someone.

But there was no one around at all.

The next moment, Zhao Chi felt his hearing vanish.

His ears seemed to be wrapped in plastic bags; he couldn't hear any sound from outside.

Su Qin pointed upward.

Only then did Zhao Chi notice a thin layer of substance had appeared around the entire team.

It really was like a giant plastic bag covering everyone.

It was transparent and faintly glowing.

Hearing must have been blocked by that layer of substance.

Soon, Lu Yibing's message also appeared in the system:

【The barrier has formed, we're good】

After this message came out, the translucent bodies of those captain-level Overlords around them glowed once more.

Just like before, various colors of light gathered overhead.

Already used to this monotonous grey environment, Zhao Chi found the light of these skills exceptionally gorgeous and beautiful.

And a bit too bright; it was somewhat hard to keep his eyes open.

Although the light was very bright, not a single ray shone beyond the barrier.

The next second, a rain of colored light descended.

Illuminating the ground.

The ground was indeed brown.

Zhao Chi immediately moved closer to Su Qin at this moment.

His light figure overlapped with hers.

Then he instantly used Piloting Art.

The strange colored radiance wasn't very obvious amid the rain of light.

The next second, Zhao Chi entered Su Qin's body.

Only when entering does using the skill emit light; after that, continuing to use Piloting Art inside Su Qin's body produces no more light.

And right now the Overlords were all translucent light figures, so no one would notice Zhao Chi.

Only Li Ruanyu would keep watching him.

But Li Ruanyu would find only Su Qin, no Zhao Chi, and would certainly guess that Zhao Chi was inside Su Qin.

【Guan Zhiyong】:

"Alright, let's keep going. We'll be joining up with our allies at Copper Rock Town soon."

"Don't let your guard down. Stay quiet — we're still within the werewolves' detection range."

Lu Yibing waved his hand again.

The thin barrier around them vanished instantly.

Zhao Chi felt his hearing return at once, crisp and clear.

The group started moving again.

Their pace was still extremely fast.

The whole formation naturally fell into a long serpentine line.

Quite a few lords had already fallen to the back.

They were all weak lords, or lords with low agility.

But they were all doing their best to keep up — no one had been left behind.

Zhao Chi didn't steer Su Qin; instead, he let Su Qin carry him.

Su Qin was of course more than willing.

And Zhao Chi, through Su Qin's eyes, carefully surveyed the surroundings.

The world was much clearer.

And much brighter too.

Plenty of details could now be made out.

But there was nothing special to be found.

A few minutes later, Lu Yibing pointed toward the front-left of the group.

Guan Zhiyong nodded.

Then his body grew a little more solid.

No longer a mere white outline — some of his own colors appeared.

For instance, sun-darkened brown skin, purplish lips, faint red scars on his face.

But overall he was still semi-transparent.

At the same time.

A figure suddenly appeared to Guan Zhiyong's left.

Also a semi-transparent figure with a hint of color.

Zhao Chi had never seen him before.
