Chapter 1071 Returning to the Entrance
The town was deserted in the middle, except for a small temple.
Behind the temple is a lush, green forest.
The temple gate was tightly closed, and the plaque above it was inscribed with the three large characters "Dragon King Temple".
When Su Chen and his group arrived, the other teams had not yet arrived.
Therefore, Su Chen did not rush into the Dragon King Temple, but waited quietly on the outside.
Not long after, he saw seven or eight more people walking towards him from a distance.
The leader was none other than Wu Zheng, the commander-in-chief of this operation.
"Old Wu!"
Li Pei greeted Wu Zheng with a smile.
However, Wu Zheng's face remained tense.
He winked at Su Chen and Zhan Wei, then drew his weapon and held it directly to Li Pei's neck!
This sudden move truly stunned Li Pei, A Jie, and the others.
"No, Lao Wu, are you crazy?"
Li Pei said in surprise.
"I'm not crazy!"
Wu Zheng sneered.
"What exactly is your purpose in impersonating Suzaku?"
While the two were talking, Wu Zheng's men surrounded A-Jie and his group.
"When the hell did I impersonate Suzaku's person?"
Li Pei became increasingly confused as he listened!
"There is no one named you in the Vermilion Bird Organization!"
Wu Zheng stared intently at Li Pei and said coldly,
"If you don't tell the truth, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Li Pei was almost laughing in anger.
"Wu Zheng, this is no joke!"
"I'm not kidding you!"
Li Pei recounted every detail of how the two of them met.
It includes some details about Wu Zheng's personal life, as well as inside information about the combat department.
"Wu Zheng, my wife introduced you to your girlfriend!"
"Back when you joined Suzaku, during our first mission, I saved your life, do you remember?"
By the end, Wu Zheng also looked suspicious.
If you weren't a veteran in the combat department, you would never know these things.
But he didn't remember anyone named Li Pei at all!
"Commander Wu, Captain Li."
Su Chen stepped forward and said slowly,
"I suggest we sit down and have a proper discussion."
"Let's see where exactly the problem lies."
Wu Zheng's expression softened, and he nodded.
"Okay, let's do as Boss Su says."
"But Li Pei, right? Don't try anything funny!"
Li Pei was immediately at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Just as the tension between the two sides had eased, a series of hurried footsteps approached!
Su Chen and the others looked up and saw Liu Hailong's team rushing towards them in a panic.
"Wu Tou, something terrible has happened!"
Even without him saying it, Su Chen and Wu Zheng already knew that something had happened.
Because behind Liu Hailong and the others were countless white ghosts!
Before Wu Zheng could give any orders, several other squads appeared around the Dragon King Temple.
Like Liu Hailong and his group, these small teams were also followed by a large number of white ghosts.
"Oh no, retreat to the temple!"
There are far too many White Ghosts.
If you stay in the open space in front of the Dragon King Temple, you will only be overwhelmed by them.
It would be better to retreat into the Dragon King Temple and make further plans!
Wu Zheng rushed into the temple first, followed closely by the others.
But looking at the Dragon King Temple in front of him, Su Chen hesitated for some reason.
He always felt that something was strange about this temple.
"Boss Su, let's go!"
Peng Yu ran a few steps and saw that Su Chen was not moving, so he quickly shouted.
"Uh……"
Su Chen stopped thinking about it; avoiding the ghosts was the most important thing.
A group of people rushed into the Dragon King Temple.
However, the temple is too small to accommodate dozens of people.
Fortunately, at that moment, the sharp-eyed Liu Hailong noticed.
Behind the statue of the Dragon God, there is an open door.
This door leads to the woods behind the temple.
"Let's go into the woods."
Liu Hailong called to Wu Zheng and the others, and they quickly rushed into the woods.
Su Chen and his group were also swept along by the crowd and arrived in the woods.
The forest here is so dense, and there is a thick fog in the woods.
In the chaos, Su Chen, Zhan Wei, and Peng Yu got separated.
Only Zhong Ya-yun stayed by his side.
Su Chen turned his head and found that the white ghosts were just staying in the Dragon King Temple and had not chased after him.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
"Boss Su, something's not right..."
Zhong Yage said nervously.
Hearing her say that, Su Chen also noticed something was wrong.
Because this forest is just too quiet.
The group from Zhuque, including Li Pei and Shao Bing, numbered a total of sixty or seventy.
But after entering the forest, all of them disappeared!
Besides that, there were no birdsong or insect chirps in the woods!
"Boss Su, I'm a little scared."
Zhong Yage is, after all, still a young woman in her early twenties.
Faced with such a strange environment, I was truly a little scared.
She followed Su Chen closely, even grabbing onto his clothes and refusing to let go.
Seeing this, Su Chen took her soft little hand in his.
"Don't be nervous, just follow me."
Feeling the warmth of Su Chen's palm, Zhong Yage finally felt a little more at ease.
When the moment arrives.
Returning to the Dragon King Temple was impossible; we could only continue forward.
They either need to find an exit or reunite with Wu Zheng and the others.
The two walked forward cautiously.
In this dense forest, Su Chen could not see the sky.
Even his spiritual sense could only perceive a distance of two or three meters.
Fortunately, they hadn't gone far when Su Chen saw that the woods ahead had cleared out, and a clearing appeared in front of them.
A huge corpse lay silently in the open space.
Before Su Chen and Zhong Yage could even examine the remains carefully...
Their expressions became blank, and their eyes were vacant.
The surrounding space rippled in response.
When Su Chen came to his senses, he found himself in a desolate Gobi Desert.
Before him lay a town of considerable size.
At the entrance to the town stands a sign that reads "Nightmare Town"!
"Boss Su!"
Hearing someone call his name, Su Chen turned around to look.
Zhan Wei, Zhong Yage, and Peng Yu were standing behind him.
He seemed somewhat dazed.
"Boss Su, what's wrong?"
Zhong Yage leaned forward and said softly.
"No, it's okay."
Seeing how intimate she was with him, Su Chen felt a little uncomfortable.
"Then let's hurry into the town and find a way out of here as soon as possible."
Zhanwei suggested.
"Wait a moment."
At this point, Su Chen's memories were clearly not right.
He had no recollection of how he got into the secret realm or his purpose there.
"What are we here for?"
Zhan Wei and the other two exchanged glances, their expressions somewhat strange.
"Boss Su, you forgot, we discovered this secret realm, so you brought us in to explore it."
Peng Yu cautiously offered a reminder.
