At that moment, Zheng Quan and Zhang Yuan's group were completely unaware that each and every one of their movements was completely under Li Yunmu's observation.
To describe it as excessive, it was no different from personally being present at the scene.
Through the vision of the eleventh shadow, regardless of what they were doing or saying, Li Yunmu, who was in the underground cave, could clearly see everything.
Wang Yan's reaction to his concern only made Li Yunmu even more vexed.
Originally, he wanted to keep Zheng Quan and the other Descenders forever on this isolated island in a different dimension. But now, he wasn't sure how he should treat Wang Yan.
Kill her!?
Although he was ruthless, he wasn't vicious. It was difficult for Li Yunmu to kill a girl who was genuinely concerned about him. But if he didn't do this, the secret of the island and the fact that Wang Yan had come from another plane would make things difficult for him.
Li Yunmu was lost in thought for a moment, then decided not to think about Wang Yan for the time being. He turned his attention back to Zheng Quan's group.
At the same time, they also started a fire on the Bund and started cooking.
Although flux experts could eat power grains for every meal, it was clear that none of the people here were as extravagant as Li Yunmu.
Power grains could provide them with energy for cultivation. For the majority of flux experts, this was an extremely extravagant amount.
While Zheng Quan's group was eating, Zheng Quan was thinking about how to deal with the threat posed by Zhang Yuan, Lei Yun, and Liu Yangwei.
However, Zhang Yuan was extremely cautious. Before he could figure out the situation of the jungle on the island, he refused to personally enter it. Moreover, he didn't allow Zheng Quan's group of three to leave his line of sight.
While Li Yunmu was paying attention to their next step and waiting for the feedback from the pathfinder bee, a sudden change occurred.
All of a sudden, something happened in the dark.
At that moment, the purple light passage, which was the only connection to the outside world, seemed to have run out of energy and began to sway. It was unable to maintain its form and collapsed before the eyes of Zheng Quan, Zhang Yuan, and the others, disappearing.
This sudden change scared everyone who was barbecuing jerky on the beach.
However, before they could react, the sudden collapse of their escape route was a great disaster, and a change struck again.
On the sandy beach of the island, the sand and gravel suddenly moved, and one after another, Giant Blackscale Scorpions emerged. Each of them was two to three meters long, and some of the larger ones were even more than three meters long.
With just one glance, Li Yunmu could tell that the thick black carapace had an incomparably thick defense. When Li Yunmu looked through the eleventh shadow's vision, he instantly felt his scalp go numb.
The individual strength of these gigantified black scorpions was probably even more terrifying than the giant ants!
If the strength of the most ordinary giant ants was equivalent to initial stage flux experts or even lower, then the two to three meter long giant scorpions were far more powerful than them.
Their individual strength should be close to that of a mid level flux expert. Compared to the even more powerful giant ants, they were probably a notch higher.
What did this mean?
This meant that even Zhang Yuan, Lei Jun, Liu Yangwei, Zheng Quan, Luo Honghua, Wang Yan, and Lu Zhong would only be able to put up a fight against these giant scorpions.
As for the other people in the group, they were basically food for the giant scorpions, so there wasn't any difference.
However, the group of giant scorpions that had drilled out from the shoreline numbered no less than twenty-six. There was no need to mention their group, which wasn't very formidable.
Even if Li Yunmu joined hands with the eight shadows, they wouldn't be able to deal with these twenty-six giant scorpions, let alone their group which wasn't very powerful.
In short, the danger level of the island was extremely high for flux experts.
If there wasn't a group of high level or even close to great circle flux experts, then they would definitely die. This was Li Yunmu's judgment based on the appearance of the giant ants and scorpions.
Only heaven knew what other terrifying insect monsters were hidden on the island.
At that moment, Li Yunmu had completely dispelled the idea of relying on his own strength to rush to the center of the island. It wasn't that he was afraid, but that he had already realized that the resistance of the island was even more terrifying than what he had imagined!
The island's resistance against foreign forces was even more terrifying than he had imagined!
The system's fourth guess had been verified.
Just as the system had predicted, all the creatures on the island had allied together to deal with Li Yunmu and the other intruders.
There wasn't a single place on the island that wasn't their enemy.
Even the only way to return to the Origin World had disappeared. At that instant, it wasn't only Zheng Quan and Zhang Yuan who were in a perilous situation facing the giant scorpions.
Similarly, Li Yunmu himself was also affected.
"System, why did the purple passageway suddenly collapse and disappear? Is it a natural phenomenon or is it man-made?" When Li Yunmu saw it, his heart sank.
After descending to the Origin World, he had managed to gain a foothold with great difficulty and was currently searching for the path to return to Earth. However, before he could find it, he was trapped in a different dimensional plane.
The disappearance of the purple passageway meant that none of them could return to the Origin World.
Just thinking about how a single person or a small group of people would be trapped on an island for eternity would make anyone shudder.
[According to the system's analysis, it should be a natural phenomenon,] the system replied after a long while.
"What do you mean by a natural phenomenon?" Li Yunmu was startled.
[It's a man-made mechanism that was triggered by a natural phenomenon. That's why it's classified as a natural phenomenon,] the system continued to explain.
"Can't you speak like a human?" Li Yunmu felt quite helpless. When he communicated with the system, he had encountered this kind of situation many times. Perhaps it was the only bad habit of communication between intelligent systems and humans.
"Simply put, this is one of the island's protective mechanisms being triggered. According to the system's analysis, if no outsider intrudes into the island plane, then the purple passageway will automatically disappear after appearing in the main world for a period of time, instead of completely collapsing and disappearing."
"According to the law of conservation of energy, when we entered the island plane through the purple tunnel, the tunnel consumed more energy than usual in order to allow us to pass through. So now, it no longer has the energy to continue."
"Similarly, as the provider of energy for the passageway, he must have considered this situation beforehand. That's why he only provided a certain amount of energy, and instead used sufficient energy to maintain the passageway. That's why the collapse of the purple passageway should be part of his plan."
