"You went too far. You actually sneaked down alone!"
"You brat, do you know how worried I am up there!"
"I'll say it again! Good brothers should advance and retreat together. No matter how dangerous it is, you can't take me with you anymore!"
"..."
On the way back, Pan Yue kept absent-mindedly responding to the explorer's complaints, and the desperate look in his mind never left his mind.
While inheriting all the power of that energy body, the summoner's memories also poured into Pan Yue's mind.
The life of the summoner flashed before Pan Yue's eyes like a fast-playing short film. He once had his own joys and sorrows like ordinary people, until he came into contact with the terrifying and taboo summoning ritual.
He wanted to summon the followers of the evil god for his own use, but was mercilessly devoured by them.
He was copied again and again and controlled in an attempt to escape from the Devil's Mountains, but his consciousness remained awake.
He witnessed his own death in annihilation countless times, and behind every stone engraved with a six-pointed star was a painful and desperate struggle.
For a moment, Pan Yue couldn't tell whether she felt more sympathy or disgust for this poor man who had suffered the consequences for himself.
"You brat, look!"
The explorer's cry of surprise interrupted Pan Yue's thoughts, and he saw that the car they were sitting in had melted to pieces, and a green off-road vehicle was parked next to it.
"Mr. Pan, Mr. Xu, the president asked me to take you back."
A man wearing sunglasses and his face covered tightly peeked out from the driver's seat of the off-road vehicle, but you could still tell from the voice that it was Mr.
The explorer shouted something bad in his heart, lowered his head and whispered: "You brat, teleport away quickly, I don't want to go back!"
Pan Yue didn't have a good impression of the surrender faction, so she nodded and started to condense teleportation bubbles.
"A member of the Resistance Army named Zhao Quxie is waiting for Mr. Pan at the headquarters. It seems there is something urgent. If you don't want to take the car, you can just teleport there."
"..."
Pan Yue hesitated for a moment, but a few seconds later the two of them appeared in front of the Peace Dove headquarters building.
At this time, Zhao Quxie had been waiting downstairs for a long time. What surprised Pan Yue even more was that Xu Zhenguang was also standing aside with a straight face.
When the explorer saw his father turning around, he wanted to run away, but Xu Zhenguang's voice was surprisingly calm.
"Xu...explorer, I won't take you back."
Growing up as an explorer, I had only heard Xu Zhenguang call him by his real name, and he had always scorned the title "explorer." But now that he changed his tone, he stopped in surprise.
"I will no longer force you to inherit my position. Just follow Mr. Pan."
For as long as the explorer can remember, he has been instilled with all kinds of business knowledge by Xu Zhenguang, completely ignoring that he has no interest in these. Because of this, the father and son almost quarreled when they met.
The explorer was surprised and delighted by Xu Zhenguang's sudden change of attitude today. The estrangement that had existed for many years gradually dissipated at this moment.
"Thanks......."
The title that had not been spoken for a long time lingered on the explorer's lips for a long time, and finally he swallowed it.
"Thank you, Xu Zhenguang."
"Ahem... President Xu, let's take our leave now."
Zhao Quxie laughed a few times to break the awkward atmosphere, and then walked quickly to Pan Yue and the explorer.
"Something big happened. General Fang and Hu Lei were taken to the cult stronghold by Hua Tianming."
His voice was very low, but it was like a thunderbolt in their ears.
It turns out that Hua Tianming seemed to have reached a cooperation with Fang Yang, but there was a bigger conspiracy hidden behind it. After he angered Pan Yue, he immediately controlled Fang Yang and Hu Lei, who were still in a weak state, and brought them back to his stronghold.
The old and new grudges were added together, and Pan Yue suddenly became so angry that he was shaking all over.
"What on earth is he going to do!"
"I don't know either. He just came to the base and left a message."
"What?"
"He wants... to ask you to go to the Son of Light Main Altar in person."
"..."
Zhao Quxie looked at the silent Pan Yue and sighed softly.
"This is indeed too dangerous. If you don't want to go, we will go back to the base and discuss it slowly."
"No, I'll go."
"I am coming too!"
Explorers have always been fearless, and when they heard that they could go directly to the cult stronghold, their eyes suddenly lit up with excitement.
"Mr. Xu..."
"Let him go with me. If you bring him back to the base, he will find a way to sneak out."
Seeing that Pan Yue had said this, Zhao Quxie could only nod helplessly.
The three of them were first teleported to the market by Pan Yue, and then found the sign that said "Teleport".
"I have to go back to the base to stabilize everyone. I can't accompany you anymore. Take care."
"Well, thank you for your hard work."
Perhaps because of Zhao Qingquan, or perhaps because both of them were regarded as saviors, Pan Yue felt that the relationship between Zhao Quxie and Zhao Quxie always had a strange feeling - there were many tacit feelings, but they could not be like friends.
So intimate.
After saying goodbye to Zhao Quxie, Pan Yue and the explorer went straight towards the Son of Light believers.
"Go to your main forum."
The believers looked at each other in shock after hearing this destination, but they immediately agreed after the explorer waved his hand and handed out a few material coupons.
After a brief space distortion, Pan Yue and the explorer successfully arrived at the main altar. The believer who brought them seemed to have done something wrong and hurriedly said goodbye to the two of them and left.
Pan Yue looked at the surrounding environment and found that it was surprisingly similar to a place in his memory. It was a forest outside Huguang Village. It was once the favorite place for children in the village to play.
Although the trees here have long since dried up and there are several strange-looking buildings built around it, the hillside not far away is exactly the same as what I remember.
At this moment, a strange cry suddenly sounded in the sky, and several ugly black birds kept circling around them, looking particularly weird in the blood-red light.
Pan Yue recognized their owner and said coldly: "Hua Tianming, stop pretending and get out of here!"
There was no response from the dead wood forest, but the strange birds flew forward as if they had been summoned by some kind of call. Pan Yue and the explorer looked at each other and then carefully followed the strange birds' guidance and walked forward.
As the two of them went deep into the dead wood forest, they met several believers one after another.
Their faces were expressionless and indifferent, but their eyes were all staring at Pan Yue.
The blood-red sky and the forest with only dead trees were like puppet believers... Pan Yue was so frightened by this strange scene that she lowered her head and pulled the explorer to speed up his pace.
But those believers still stared at Pan Yue expressionlessly - from the time he entered the field of vision to the time he hurriedly left.
Finally, the blackbirds stopped in front of a building, standing on a bare tree trunk and staring at Pan Yue with their heads tilted.
Eye.
Pan Yue was certain that the building was designed based on the eyes.
Its exterior is a huge oval shape that is so white that it is as wide as half a football field, and in the center is a mass of black that gradually becomes darker from the outside to the inside.
The black eyes attracted Pan Yue like a whirlpool, and an inexplicable sense of crazy excitement arose in his heart.
"Killing...judgment..."
Some strange thoughts flooded into his mind, and the dark energy in his body surged uncontrollably.
Suddenly, those deep eyes disappeared.
It was divided into two halves and opened to the side, revealing Hua Tianming's cold face inside the building.
