Chapter 232 The Pathfinder

"It's all your fault! Xiaobai! It must be you who lured Mr. Huo to me!"

"...Why do I feel that Mr. Huo has been sitting there all the time?"

"It's all your fault anyway!!"

In the bathroom of the orphanage, two little bean dices bicker with each other while cleaning the bathroom with a mop and broom.

Tong Xue's little face was bulging, with an expression of disbelief.

Xiaobai on the side was a little helpless, but also a little thankful:

"Okay Xiaoxue, it's a good thing we didn't go out, and it's not like you don't know how many pathfinders died outside during this time."

"I don't want to talk to cowards."

Tong Xue rolled her eyes and ignored her companion.

It was because this guy didn't pay attention to his surroundings when he came looking for him, that Teacher Huo came to him. If it wasn't for him, he might have left Yongri City by now and went to explore outside the city.

As for the casualties of the pathfinders...

To become a pathfinder, one must be prepared to die in the cause of finding a way out at any time. Tong Xue's father is one of the highest-ranking pathfinders. The child of a strong man, Tong Xue must of course follow in his father's footsteps.

And becoming a wayfinder in advance is the first step for Tong Xue to follow in her father's footsteps.

As a result... this first step didn't even take a foot, and the teacher of the orphanage broke his leg, and he collapsed in the middle.

Xiaobai at the side stopped talking.

He knew that when Tong Xue was angry, it was useless for him to say anything.

So Xiaobai just quietly doing his cleaning work on the sidelines.

After a while, he heard Tong Xue sigh again:
"...Oh, my time slowing ring was also confiscated by the teacher, damn it..."

It was nothing if the Pathfinder Frog was confiscated. It was just an ordinary fifth-level relic, and every Pathfinder had one. Tong Xue spent some time and energy, and it was still possible to get one.

But the ring of time slowing down that Tong Xue's father left for her is a first-class relic that is rare in the entire Eternal Sun City!
Tong Xue dared to decide to run out of the city to become a wayfinder at this age, and it was also the courage given to him by this level of legacy.

Now being confiscated by the teacher, even if Tong Xue could run out of the city, she would not dare to go out casually.

After all, she could still tell the difference between courting death and taking risks.

"Xiaoxue—! Xiaobai—!"

While Tong Xue was cleaning the toilet sullenly, she suddenly heard someone else's shouts from under the toilet.

Xiaobai was the first to run to the edge of the window, pushed open the half-closed window and looked down.

A little boy with red hair waved to them:
"A first-level pathfinder is back! Do you want to come out and take a look? I heard that this time the pathfinder brought back two outsiders!"

"outsider!"

Before Xiaobai could speak, Tong Xue dropped the mop and ran to the window, looked down, and asked:

"What you said is true? They brought outsiders back?!"

"Hmm! They are two strangers, not from the city, Xiaoxue, do you want to..."

"I want to see it!!"

Before the little boy under the window finished speaking, Tong Xue turned around and ran outside.

Seeing this, Xiaobai was stunned for a moment, then stretched out his hand to try to stop her and said:

"Xiaoxue! Where are you cleaning?!"

"I leave it to you!!"

Tong Xue's cheerful voice became smaller and smaller with the distance, only Xiao Bai maintained the gesture of reaching out, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he sighed helplessly.

He knew that this task of cleaning the bathroom might have to be done by himself again.

……

Tong Xue trotted out of the orphanage.

The passers-by outside had already gathered together and rushed towards one direction. Tong Xue's small body, only half a person tall, squeezed through the crowd, finally passed through the crowd, and came to the edge of the avenue to watch outside.

On the street, crowds stood on both sides, and the road in the middle was cleared for people to pass.

A group of pathfinders wearing windbreakers with pathfinding frogs on their shoulders came from a distance.

Among this group of pathfinders, there is a shining white star on the left chest of the leader's windbreaker, which is the identity certificate of a first-level pathfinder.

Pathfinders are divided into six levels. Except for the logo of the highest level super pathfinder, which can be created by oneself, other pathfinder levels have fixed symbols.

Arranged from low to high, the logo on the left chest of the fifth-level pathfinder is five interlaced daggers.

Level [-] pathfinders are identified by four blind sticks combined to form a cross.

The third-level pathfinder is marked by a poisonous snake with three heads.

Level [-] pathfinders are marked with clenched fists.

And the first-level pathfinder has a shining white star engraved on his chest, which represents the sun shining on Eternal Sun City.

It is said that the arrangement of signs from low to high represents the process of establishing Eternal Sun City.

Tong Xue is not very familiar with the history of Eternal Sun City, she didn't study much, most of what she learned was about the distribution and characteristics of the monsters outside Eternal Sun City.

But she doesn't need to know too much, all she needs to know is that this is a group of advanced exploration teams led by first-level pathfinders and second-level pathfinders as the main force.

Such an exploration team has the highest authority to explore the periphery of the Wall of No Return. Except that there is no special pathfinder leading the team, they cannot enter the Wall of No Return and embark on the "Road of No Return". go.

And such an exploration team is also the main force of Eternal Sun City.

Most of the supplies in Yongri City, including the recently developed electricity, were obtained by these exploration teams.

Now, such an exploration team has brought harvests that can amaze the entire Eternal Sun City.

Two outsiders.

Tong Xue's big eyes sparkled. She first cast reverent glances at those pathfinders, and then looked curiously at the center of the team.

The two outsiders who were brought back.

The two outsiders were covered with thick cloaks, and their appearance could not be seen, but it could be seen from their external features that they were a man and a woman.

Among them, the man is supporting the woman, and the woman looks around with vigilant and curious eyes.

She seems to have suffered some injuries, and her legs and feet are not very convenient.

Tong Xue's eyes widened, trying to see clearly what the two outsiders looked like.

But it's a pity that these two outsiders were too vigilant, even under the cloak, they were wearing face scarves that concealed their appearance.

Tong Xue stared at the woman for a long time, but she couldn't see anything. She could only see a pair of purple eyes under the cloak that were completely different from ordinary people.

It's beautiful and mysterious.

……

Gu Chen's team got lost.

There are many dangers in the Wall of No Return. The ghost who came in to explore earlier mentioned that after entering the Wall of No Return, there will be strange laughter in his ears.

Gu Chen also heard those laughter, which seemed to be a special phenomenon that affects the spirit.

Gu Chen was immune to mental attacks and directly ignored them.

But not the rest of the team.

In the second hour of moving forward, some ordinary people in the team completely collapsed.

His body began to fall off as if melting, and the flesh and blood on his body seemed to be uncontrollably growing branches, extending out irregularly, and in the blink of an eye, he turned into a monster who didn't know anything.

Heishimu killed him, but the remaining flesh and blood continued to squirm on the ground.

It wasn't until Kuchiki Byakuya fired a thunderbolt to destroy it, that the flesh and blood turned into fly ash.

Even if that ordinary person doesn't become a ghost, he still has the combat power of a master, and his own momentum is also condensed. He only needs to find the right weirdness to become an inhuman realm.

But within a few hours of entering the Land of No Return, it became like this.

And this is just the beginning.

The death of this person seemed to be the introduction of something, and in the next few hours, ordinary people in the team changed one after another.

Some people, like the original one, turned into an irregular mass of flesh and blood.

Some people simply lost their minds and attacked all around frantically.

And even the ghosts around Gu Chen suffered a lot mentally.

After Gu Chen reluctantly cleaned up this group of crazy people, he encountered a new ordeal.

A gust of hurricane suddenly came from the fog wall of the Wall of No Return, and the originally extremely low visibility in the fog became almost invisible.

Relying on Gu Chen's connection with Black Death Mou and Kuchiki Byakuya, the three of them are closely linked.

But other people were not so lucky, except for Ying who had been hiding in Gu Chen's shadow and survived, the others were all swept away by the hurricane and disappeared.

In the end, there were only three people left beside Gu Chen.

Kuchiki Byakuya, Black Death Mou, and the shadow hidden in the shadow.

But Gu Chen still didn't see the way to leave the Wall of No Return.

"Zitong's mother, how did she leave here..."

It has not been half a day since entering the Wall of No Return, and there are only a few people left in the team.

If Gu Chen was not immune to mental attacks and the two people around him were strong, Gu Chen might be the only one left in the end.

With such a high death rate, the Wall of No Return is worthy of the name of "No Return".

But here comes the problem, even Gu Chen, a group whose strength is far beyond the Inhuman Realm, is threatened with death when entering here.

And Zitong's mother doesn't even look like an inhumane place, so how did she walk out of the Wall of No Return unharmed and go to Qi?

A white gauze that can be immune to the "must die" rule of the Wall of No Return is not enough, at least so far, the white gauze on Gu Chen's body has not brought him any extra help.

With a heavy heart, Gu Chen began to wonder if it was a wrong decision for him to rush into the wall of no return.

But suddenly Heishimu's expression changed, and he involuntarily turned his eyes to the depths of the mist.

"what happened?"

Noticing Hei Simou's movements, Gu Chen asked.

Hei Si Mou pointed to the distance and said:

"Someone."

"!!"

Gu Chen was startled, and Hei Si Mou continued:

"...Or, it's someone's corpse."

"Next time, don't breathe too much when you talk... let's go and have a look."

Hearing that it was not a living person but a corpse, Gu Chen was inevitably a little disappointed, and said to Heishimu angrily, and then led the two of them groping to the side of the human corpse that Heishimu said.

As Hei Si Mou said, there was indeed a human corpse lying beside a raised stone not far away.

It's just that Gu Chen's eyes froze slightly when he saw the human corpse.

The clothes on this human corpse are completely different from those on Gu Chen and the others.

Qi's costumes are probably similar to those of the Tang Dynasty in China. Although most of them are beautiful, they are completely ancient, without any modern style in them.

But the man in front of him had short, pure black hair and was wearing a black windbreaker with a flying bird logo on his chest. He didn't know what it meant.

The inner lining is a black high-necked shirt, and the buttons of the shirt are all fastened, highlighting the man's strong figure.

Below are the overalls that are easy to move. There are several pockets on the left and right of the overalls. After inspection, the pockets are full of portable tools and food.

Gu Chen even found a match in it.

Next to this person was a half-person-high expedition backpack, with climbing picks and shovels tied to the side of the backpack, and inside the backpack were some sundries that I didn't know what to do.

After inspection, these sundries hide some powers similar to strange treasures, but now these treasures have been destroyed.

I don't know how long this person died. Although due to environmental problems, he did not become a dry bone, but a mummified corpse that lost moisture.

But it was enough to see that this person had been dead for some time.

"He's not from Daqi."

Gu Chen said solemnly.

Daqi's attire is not so modern. Looking at this person's attire, it looks a lot like those explorers in the early twentieth century. Except for the absence of an exploration cap and the pure black clothing, everything else is very similar.

Compared with the backward Da Qi, he is like a person from another world.

"He has pamphlets with him."

Hei Si Mou checked it, and then handed the booklet to Gu Chen: "I don't understand."

Gu Chen took it and couldn't help but frown after flipping through it.

Gu Chen had never seen the characters above, and most of them were composed of graphics such as 'circle', 'semicircle', 'horizontal' and 'vertical'.

Graphics like 'tick' are rare, and wavy characters are also rare.

This is a different writing system, which is different from any writing Gu Chen has ever seen.

And what this writing system represents is another civilization that is completely different from Daqi.

"Behind the Wall of No Return, there is a Land of No Return..."

Gu Chen muttered about the news he had seen in Pinghu Division, and then asked the two people around him: "Could this person be an aborigine from the Land of No Return?"

"..."

Kuchiki Byakuya didn't answer, he didn't have much interest in these.

Hei Si Mou was also not interested in these things, so he couldn't confirm what Gu Chen said.

Instead, Ying's voice came from the shadow, and said to Gu Chen:
"Your Majesty, it is very possible that according to the Pinghu Division's classics, there seems to be traces of humans behind the Wall of No Return, but because the people of Daqi had no way to enter the Wall of No Return to explore before, little is known about these people."

"If there are people, it means that the people behind the Wall of No Return have formed a new civilization, and this civilization, if there are no accidents... the technological level should far exceed that of Daqi."

From the fabric on the person, it can be seen that this thing cannot be made without a certain industrial level.

Especially the existence of matches, which were packed in a box, made Gu Chen firm in his guess.

If he hadn't found something like a flashlight from this person, Gu Chen would have even wondered if the people behind this place of no return had invented electricity.

Just as Gu Chen thought about it, he saw Heishimou take out something that looked like a safety helmet from the sand next to the man's body.

Looking at the safety helmet, Gu Chen was silent for a moment, then took it from Heishimu's hand and looked at it carefully.

Looking at a transparent device in the center of the forehead of the safety helmet, Gu Chen was silent again, reached out and knocked on the safety helmet.

hum.

A bright yellow light shines from the center of the safety helmet, almost blinding Gu Chen's eyes.

Looking at the shining safety helmet, Gu Chen silently turned off the helmet light, let out a long breath, and said faintly:

"It seems that the civilization in this Land of No Return has a higher level of technology than the sea monster we imagined."

At least something like 'electricity', they have already figured it out.
