Chapter 62

"Hey, after what we've been through, we definitely won't go to those dangerous places anymore. Even if we go on another trip, we'll definitely bring you along. At least when we encounter danger, you can take us and run away immediately." Zhou Yue suddenly said.

"Right, your teleportation ability is quite useful. Next time we go on a trip, you can go to the destination first, then come back to bring us over. This way, we can save a lot of travel expenses. Where should we go next?"

Lin Fei's lips twitched when he heard Zhou Yue's words: "You're already thinking about the next trip as soon as you're back! I'm a bit tired from this trip! Don't think about the next trip now, let's rest first."

"I feel fine. Apart from being scared by the strange beast today, I'm a bit nervous when I think about it now, but a good night's sleep will help me recover." Zhou Yue said with a smile.

"Ah, I don't have your thick nerves. I was really scared by the strange beast attack this time and need to rest for a while. Yue, don't cause trouble for a while.

The holiday is over, and we have to start working tomorrow. You should behave and stop thinking about asking Lin Fei to take you out to play." Wang Xiaoru rubbed her forehead and said to Zhou Yue.

"I'm being well-behaved, okay? It's not because I know Lin Fei's ability makes it convenient to travel that I have some ideas." Zhou Yue's eyes twinkled as she said.

Wang Xiaoru gave Zhou Yue an exasperated look.

"It seems Zhou Yue already has some ideas! Sigh, now that she's set her sights on me, I'll have a lot of trouble in the future." Lin Fei sighed inwardly.

"Time to start working again! I really don't want to go to work! I wish I could keep traveling to beautiful places. Lin Fei, you feel the same way, right?"

"Ah? I don't have such thoughts. I prefer staying at home. Occasional trips are fine, but frequent long trips are too much for me." Lin Fei shook his head.

"I won't fall for your trick. If I agree with you, you'll definitely use it as an excuse to ask me to use my spatial teleportation to take you everywhere." Lin Fei thought.

"Mr. Chen, will our grand expedition be in vain? We've been traveling for so long without encountering any powerful strange beasts. Moreover, these strange beasts are all Earth species. It seems that the strange beast gathering in Kantor has nothing to do with the Spirit Realm." A male investigator asked a 70-year-old man.

"Xiao Liu! We haven't reached our final destination yet, so we can't make any judgments. At this point, it's better to be safe than sorry.

The last time we discovered a world passage in our country, we were almost severely injured due to insufficient preparation. Various signs indicate that this place has a high possibility of having a second world passage, which is why we mobilized so many people this time.

Moreover, with so many strange beasts gathered here, if it really has something to do with the Spirit Realm, the situation could be more serious than the Xing'an Forest invasion." Mr. Chen explained.

"That's right! Xiao Liu, Mr. Chen is right. This time, the four major powers have organized a team to explore this anomaly. If we discover another world passage here, with our current team's strength, we can quickly suppress the invasion and accelerate the formation of the Blue Star Alliance afterward." Another investigator said.

"If we really encounter a world passage this time, I want to see how fierce these invaders are, to have severely injured our country's special action team." Xiao Liu said angrily.

"Because of what happened last time, our headquarters sent Mr. Chen to lead the team, along with a cultivator from the United States.

The team is led by two 4th-stage cultivators, plus 70 investigators with 3rd-stage strength from various countries.

We are now the strongest team on Blue Star. Even if the strange beasts from the Spirit Realm have already set up camp here, we can destroy them directly." A female investigator said.

...

Kantor, located on the equator, is scorching hot all year round. The sun high in the sky scorches the earth.

"Everyone, be careful, something's happening." A 3rd-stage peak American strongman conveyed to everyone present using his mental power.

The exploration team instantly entered a combat state, following the two 4th-stage strongmen forward.

After climbing over a small hill, everyone was shocked by the scene before them.

It was a huge vortex made of white light particles, fifteen meters in diameter, just like the photos of the world passage provided by our country, and exactly what they saw now, the second world passage was indeed here.

More shockingly, over a hundred 3rd-stage strange beasts were gathered around the world passage, some with two heads, some with six legs, some with three eyes, some with four eyes. Their appearances clearly indicated they were not from Blue Star.

"These strange beasts are more numerous than we expected, but their strength is at most 3rd-stage peak. We can still easily defeat them." The 4th-stage cultivator from the United States said.

"Look, what's that?" An investigator from Saudi Arabia exclaimed.

Everyone turned their attention to the world passage, and they saw a fantastical creature emerge from the huge white vortex.

The creature's body was made of stone, three meters tall. Soon after emerging from the vortex, its body instantly expanded to five meters tall, and the stone body began to emit flames, enveloping it and transforming it into a fire giant.

"Didn't they say that 4th-stage creatures can't pass through the world passage? This stone man's spiritual energy is clearly beyond 3rd-stage. How could it pass through the world passage?" An European perception-type ability user in the team asked in confusion.

"It must have used some method to lower its strength to pass through the world passage. When it first emerged from the tunnel, it was only three meters tall, but after coming out, it grew to five meters, and its spiritual energy increased significantly." An investigator from Kantor said.

"Immediately report the latest situation here and have them arrange personnel to support us.

We are about to face a severe battle. Everyone, be mentally prepared. This is a battle against creatures from the Spirit Realm, unlike anything we've experienced before. If anyone wants to withdraw, please speak up now." Mr. Chen said to everyone present.

The investigators remained silent. Since they chose to become investigators, they had considered the possibility of losing their lives. Now, at this critical moment, they would not back down.

"The world passage hasn't closed yet. We must eliminate them before their reinforcements arrive. The longer we delay, the more disadvantageous it is for us.

Xie Yin, give us all a stealth state. Then you take ten people to assist us from the periphery, providing support based on the situation.

I will hold off the 4th-stage creature, and you work with Mr. Jason to kill the 3rd-stage strange beasts." Mr. Chen, as the commander of the team, issued the combat orders.
