"Space and gravity are distorted? This… how are we supposed to get through this?"
"No wonder it felt like we were just walking in circles. So that's why!"
A sense of powerlessness once again washed over the group.
Just then, the distinct sound of footsteps suddenly echoed from a deep, dark passage nearby.
"Who's there?!"
Hu Dahai spun around, his battle blade clenched tightly in his hand once more. The other Xinhuo members also instantly adopted combat stances, staring warily into the darkness.
Soon, a figure slowly emerged from the shadows.
When they clearly saw the somewhat tattered Xinhuo combat suit on the newcomer, everyone let out a long sigh of relief, their frayed nerves finally unwinding.
"It's one of us…"
"You scared me. I thought it was another one of those damned things."
Lin Ye's gaze, however, sharpened slightly.
The newcomer was Zhang Daoxuan.
