"It's indeed very strange and terrifying. In the beginning, we sent quite a number of Companion Beasts in, but every one of them was beheaded. Only two Companion Beasts were lucky enough to survive. Adjutant An said that it's called the Wind of Space. It's a powerful wind produced by the convection of two different spaces. As the Wind of Space comes and goes without a trace, it's very difficult to withstand it unless one's entire body is flawless. "
Zhao Xin paused for a moment before continuing, "Adjutant An finally thought of a solution. He got two Epic experts who are proficient in spatial powers to be in charge of disrupting the spatial order. That way, the Wind of Space can't quickly form. After trying it, he realized that this method was indeed effective. However, the area that the two of them can support is limited, so they can't bring everyone in. The other two fellows and I can only stay here and wait for Adjutant An and the rest to return. "
"Did Ansheng say where he took them to in the ruins?" Zhou Wen asked.
"I don't know. Adjutant An didn't say. He only said that he was going to the ruins to search for Madam Lan and Old Master Ouyang. He didn't say where he went either." Zhao Xin shook his head.
Zhou Wen looked at the distant ruins and felt somewhat vexed. Although he now knew that there was a power similar to the Realmwind in the ruins, Zhou Wen didn't know any spatial powers, nor did he have the ability to stop the Realmwind. Even if he knew the characteristics of the Realmwind, he still couldn't withstand it.
"What are you doing here?" Zhao Xin asked.
"I have something here that I need to give to Ansheng. It might be of help to him in saving Madam Lan. Do you have a way to contact him?" Seeing the other two Epic experts walk out, Zhou Wen didn't mention the stone artifact. All he did was ask vaguely.
"The signal interference here is very strong. Communications equipment is useless. Unless they come out, I'm afraid it's impossible to contact them," Zhao Xin said.
The other two were alarmed when they saw Zhou Wen. They pointed at him and said, "You aren't wearing a raincoat. How are you not infected by the virus?"
Zhao Xin was taken aback when he heard that. Only then did he realize that Zhou Wen was only wearing ordinary armor without a raincoat.
From the style of his armor, it was impossible for it to cover every part of his body. He would definitely be stained by the blood rain.
"I have a way to restrain the blood rain. You don't have to worry. Leave a tent for me, I need some time to rest." He had to wait until his injuries were mostly healed and he had the ability to fight before thinking of a way to deal with the Realmwind. Otherwise, entering would be suicide. It would be useless.
Zhao Xin pointed to one of the tents and said, "That's Adjutant An's tent. You can stay with him."
Zhou Wen didn't stand on ceremony as he entered.
The inside of the tent was clean and tidy. There was even a small battery-powered lamp on. There were some books on the side and a small incense burner.
"An Sheng sure doesn't find it troublesome. He actually brought so many things to such a place." Zhou Wen found a spot to sit down. As he circulated the Small Perfection of Wisdom Sutra to repair his injured body, he continued gaming.
Zhao Xin and company led Lu Yunxian into another tent and said with a smile, "Battalion Commander Lu, it must have been tough on you to send Zhou Wen to such a dangerous place, right?"
Lu Yunxian glanced at Zhao Xin and company and said coldly, "This is my duty. Besides, without Young Master Wen, I wouldn't have come this far."
"What do you mean?" the three of them were taken aback as Zhao Xin asked Lu Yunxian.
However, Lu Yunxian didn't answer. All he said was, "Prepare yourselves. When Young Master Wen recovers, we will enter the ruins with him to find Adjutant An."
The trio looked at Lu Yunxian as though they were looking at a lunatic. Zhao Xin licked his lips and said, "I know that your Sunset Army is famous for not being afraid of death, but do you know how terrifying the spatial wind in the ruins is? Do you know how many powerful Companion Beasts died silently in there when we first started scouting? That's not a place that anyone can enter just because they want to. "
"Young Master Wen will think of a solution," Lu Yunxian said indifferently.
Zhao Xin and company exchanged looks, feeling that Lu Yunxian was definitely crazy. What solution could he think of in such a place? Without the ability to restrain the spatial wind, entering was courting death. There was no other way.
No matter how smart Zhou Wen was, he didn't have spatial powers. Furthermore, he was at the Legendary stage. How could he safely enter the ruins?
Since they couldn't see eye to eye, Zhao Xin and company ignored Lu Yunxian and did their own things.
Zhou Wen really couldn't think of a solution. Even though he knew the characteristics of the Realmwind, it was useless without a way to restrain it.
After some thought, Zhou Wen could only use Ghost Steps to escape the moment the Realmwind appeared, preventing it from hitting him.
However, Zhou Wen had tried it a few times in-game. The difficulty was extremely high. The spot where the Realmwind appeared was almost right next to his skin. If his reaction was a fraction of a second slower, he would be dead. Out of ten times, Zhou Wen could barely dodge one or two. Even so, there was a component of luck.
Ghost Steps was very fast, but that referred to speed. Zhou Wen's reaction speed wouldn't improve because of it. When faced with the sudden Realmwind, Zhou Wen's reaction speed was clearly insufficient.
I have to be able to dodge the Realmwind. How can I react faster and dodge it safely? Zhou Wen kept researching in-game.
Zhou Wen was fully focused on researching in-game. When Zhao Xin and company came to deliver the food, they saw Zhou Wen sitting there playing with his phone. They smiled and didn't say a word.
Zhou Wen playing with his phone wasn't anything special to them, nor did they find it inappropriate. However, when they connected it to what Lu Yunxian had said, they found it laughable.
When they returned to the tent shared by the four of them, they saw Lu Yunxian still making preparations. He looked like he really wanted to set off for the ruins.
Zhao Xin couldn't help but laugh and say, "Commander Lu, Zhou Wen is still gaming there. I don't think we can head to the ruins anytime soon. You should rest for a while."
"I will go," Lu Yunxian said indifferently.
Seeing how stubborn Lu Yunxian was, Zhao Xin didn't say anything else. He lay on the mat and took out his phone to find a game to play.
It wasn't that he really liked playing games, but that the pressure in such a place was too great. If he didn't find something to do, he was afraid he would go crazy.
Zhou Wen constantly honed his reaction speed between life and death. He had to react 100% correctly. He couldn't make a single mistake before he could enter the ruins.
In the game, he could die if he made a mistake. He could restart with a drop of blood, but in reality, he only had one life. If he died, he would die. There was no chance for him to restart.
"How can I do it 100% without making any mistakes?" Soon, Zhou Wen realized that it was impossible for him to not make any mistakes even if he practiced to the extreme.
Out of ten times, there would always be one or two mistakes. This was because the Realmwind's speed had exceeded the critical point of his reaction. No matter how well Zhou Wen did, it was impossible for him to perform exceptionally well every time to dodge the Realmwind's attacks.
