Chapter 2276

Never mind.

Let me rest a bit first...

Zhao Chi took deep, gasping breaths.

His nostrils and mouth were full of blood — that was for sure. He'd smashed straight into the earth, so his face must be a mess by now.

But it didn't matter; some treatment later would restore his looks.

Zhao Chi raised his head and looked up.

He was in a deep pit — about five meters deep.

Zhao Chi was right in the center of the pit's bottom, half his body still buried in it.

It looked like he'd been moving at an incredible speed when he burst out — really like a small meteor.

But he'd smashed a five-meter-deep crater into the ground, and he wasn't seriously hurt?

That was hard to believe.

Normally, he should have been shattered to pieces.

It couldn't possibly be as simple as just bleeding from the nose and mouth, right?

Even with 10 Constitution, it shouldn't be possible.

Could something have just protected him?

When he'd charged through the white space at high speed, he had indeed felt some energy wrapping around his body.

Otherwise, he couldn't have moved as fast as flying in there.

So at the instant of bursting out, was it that energy that had protected him?

He wasn't sure.

But he didn't feel like thinking it through right now.

As long as he was fine, that was enough.

Zhao Chi searched for that white crack above.

But he couldn't find it at all.

It must have closed completely.

He was still lucky — he'd made it in the very last instant.

To think he'd actually crashed out just as it was almost fully shut.

That definitely wasn't his own skill.

It was probably also thanks to that energy that had wrapped around his body at the time.

What a stroke of luck.

Otherwise, he really didn't know when he'd have gotten out — he might well have been trapped in there for life.

Zhao Chi still ached all over and had no strength.

But being in this pit was at least a kind of shelter — it wouldn't be easy to spot him from outside — so he could rest here briefly.

Zhao Chi endured the pain and lay on the mound of dirt at the bottom of the pit.

Watching the rolling black clouds above, feeling the fine, dark-brown soil beside his hand, sitting in the dim space, he felt an overwhelming sense of happiness.

He'd been in a daze the whole time before.

Only now was he gradually coming back to his senses.

His emotions were starting to pull at him too.

Being able to return to this rift space was truly wonderful.

He bore the pain and grinned through gritted teeth.

But he couldn't actually laugh out loud.

Because it hurt too much.

The system space still couldn't be opened either, so he couldn't take out any medicine.

He'd just have to wait a bit longer.

He opened the system again.

There was still no interface inside.

But he could already see the time.

The time...

How had only 2 minutes passed?

In that white space, at least several hours had gone by — even a full half-day.

How could only 2 minutes have passed?

Was the flow of time different too?

While he was thinking, a notification suddenly arrived.

【Messaging function has been restored】

The system had restored one function.

Good.

Then he'd set aside everything else for now and check if there were any messages first.

Zhao Chi had recovered a little stamina now.

Staying buried in the dirt would restrict blood flow and harm his body.

He needed to get out as soon as possible.

Though it hurt a little... he'd bear it!

Ah—...

Zhao Chi endured the pain and pulled his lower body out of the soil.

He was still bare-naked right now.

His whole body was covered in black dirt and scratches, blood and mud mixed together into blood-mud clinging to his skin, filthy all over.

He suddenly recalled that the way women of Taoyuan were born seemed to be like this too.

But there were no conditions to clean up right now, so he let it go.

Zhao Chi roughly brushed off the large clumps of blood-mud, then opened the system.

Sure enough, there was only a single lonely information interface.

Nothing else at all.

The most important communication system and system space still hadn't recovered.

Wait slowly.

First take a look at the information interface.

【Unread Messages: 4172】

So many?

Zhao Chi was shocked to discover that the detailed notification column actually had over 4000 unread messages?

Normally Zhao Chi didn't look at the detailed notification column, since the things notified there were really too trivial.

He usually only looked at the important-notification column.

But even so, there couldn't be this many.

He suddenly realized something.

His heart tightened.

A bad premonition washed over him.

He clicked in.

Over 4000 death notifications appeared before his eyes.

【Your Tier Two female healer "Zheng Hui" has died】

【Your Tier Two female mage "Feng Wan" has died】

【...】

【Your advanced female hero "Gu Qing" has died】

【Your advanced female hero "Zhuang Ya" has died】
