Chapter 2277

What the hell is going on!!?

Zhao Chi hurriedly opened Gu Qing's personal interface.

【Name】Gu Qing

【Status】Deceased (Reviving: 17 days, 23 hours, 58 minutes, 11 seconds remaining)

Fortunately…

At least she can be revived.

Gu Qing's attributes totaled 36 points.

Now the effect of Bone-Gathering Revival has been strengthened, requiring only half the base-attribute days—18 days—to revive.

He had thought they had just been teleported somewhere else.

Turns out they were dead…

Now open Zhuang Ya's.

【Name】Gu Qing

【Status】Deceased (Reviving: 17 days, 11 hours, 58 minutes, 9 seconds remaining)

Same.

And Zhuang Ya's attributes were 1 point fewer than Gu Qing's, so her revival time was 12 hours earlier.

Zhao Chi opened the female soldiers' information again.

The female soldiers didn't have this revival countdown.

After all, the female hero's interface was more detailed.

But since Gu Qing and Zhuang Ya could be revived, those 4,000-plus female soldiers could be revived too—no need to worry about that.

Looking again at the timestamps of those death notifications, they were all from that moment just over a minute ago.

In other words, the instant they entered that white space, they all died simultaneously in a single instant.

It must have been when that noise rang out and the gale howled.

Damn…

What a fucking mess!

He had been so careful, so afraid of accidents, but how could anyone have foreseen something like this?

Zhao Chi felt a sense of defeat.

Every step he took had already been cautious enough, yet it still turned out like this.

This was no longer an accident—it was a complete disaster.

Truly, the will of heaven cannot be defied.

He closed the detailed notification interface.

He opened the important-events notification interface.

Before he could read the specific information, a line of dim golden text popped up before his eyes:

〖Jie Yu has been damaged; energy is recovering, temporarily unusable〗

Jie Yu was damaged too.

The color of the text was very faint.

But it was considerably darker than when they were in the white space—seems that white space really was extremely dangerous.

His earlier guess had been right too.

Gu Qing and the others died instantly, but Zhao Chi did not.

It must have been this talent consuming energy to shield Zhao Chi—otherwise Zhao Chi would have died instantly too.

Truly a narrow escape.

Anyone could die, but Zhao Chi absolutely could not.

Because only he could not be revived.

Fortunately, this talent saved his life.

Otherwise, everything would have been over!

But strangely, even if they died, there should have been corpses.

Yet there was nothing at all in that white space.

Where did Gu Qing and the others' bodies go?

He had absolutely no clue.

……Forget it, that place was too strange—nowhere that could be explained by common sense.

Zhao Chi truly never wanted to go back there a second time in his life.

He looked back at the system.

He entered the important information interface.

There were 2 unread important messages.

【First message】:

【Your subordinates Gu Qing, Zhuang Ya, and 4,170 female soldiers have died; please check the detailed notification interface for specifics】

He already knew this.

But seeing these messages still made his heart ache.

It's fine…

In war, people will die sooner or later—more or fewer, earlier or later. It's unavoidable.

As long as they can be revived, that's good.

He looked at the next one.

【Second Entry】:

【Your innate skill "Bloodline Enhancement" has received extreme compression from excess same-source energy and has been over-limit strengthened】

What is this?

Received extreme compression from excess same-source energy?

When did that happen?

What is same-source energy?

Same-source energy must refer to the energy of the Peach Blossom women like Gu Qing, right?

But when did I receive this energy compression?

And compression too?

Zhao Chi silently recalled, remembering that gust of violent wind just now.

Could that not have been a violent wind?

But rather the same-source energy left behind by Gu Qing and the others?

Energy…

That white space did indeed have many places related to energy.

Staying inside it for that stretch directly caused the system's energy to be completely drained.

And even the energy of 〖Flower-Plucking Jade〗 was being consumed in large amounts.

So…

That storm really was the energy left behind by Gu Qing and the others.

They must have died the instant they entered the white space, leaving behind only their powerful energy.

No wonder that hurricane at the time all slammed onto his body.

Perhaps Gu Qing and the others wanted to give all their energy to him…

At the time he felt the hurricane blow directly into his body, rampaging through all his meridians.

Thinking about it now, this feels the same as after absorbing the bloodline energy of Gu Qing and the others.

After the bloodline energy was absorbed, it would also circulate through the meridians of the body.

Only it would be gentler.

But this time it was extremely violent; Zhao Chi felt at the time his body was nearly going to explode.

But this was what Gu Qing, Zhuang Ya, and the more than 4,000 female soldiers had left for him…

So many people, so many portions, so much energy added together — of course it was extremely violent.

And in the end, it let his body accelerate, let him nearly fly — that also seemed to be these energies helping.
