Brother Jiang, do you think there might be other people coming in here? "Cloud asked.
There probably will be. The Four-dimensional Mirror should just be a medium to enter here. This space is public, and many people should be able to enter," Jiang Cheng said.
"Jiang, are you saying this path is the only way to Li Country?" Qi Rongfeng asked.
Definitely not, but this is the closest path," Zhang Tian said. This just confirmed Jiang Cheng’s guess that this path is not the only one but it’s indeed the closest. Stop chatting, there’s going to be a wormhole later," Zhang Tian said.
"Is it possible for the wormhole to appear without any signs?" Zhao Shuai asked. There are signs, but if you don’t prepare ahead of time, it’s easy to get into trouble," Zhang Tian said. "Jiang, why don’t you grab onto me now." Zhao Shuai walked quickly to Jiang Cheng’s side and said.
Jiang Cheng was really at a loss whether to laugh or cry at this Zhao Shuai. Imagining the scene of himself walking hand in hand with Zhao Shuai made Jiang Cheng want to laugh. "Don’t laugh, Jiang, this is serious," Zhao Shuai said.
"Zhao Shuai, can you not embarrass yourself?" Cloud gave Zhao Shuai a glare. "Would you rather hold onto this needle that Brother Jiang gave me?"
Zhao Shuai glanced at the needle in Cloud’s hand, thinking that even if the needle was reliable, it couldn’t be more reliable than having Jiang Cheng by his side. "Cloud, do you think I don’t know what you’re thinking? You just want me to hold that needle, so you can grab onto Jiang’s hand."
After hearing Zhao Shuai’s words, Cloud raised her hand wanting to hit Zhao Shuai, "Shut up! Face turning red with anger.
Alright, alright, Zhao Shuai, you should be in front of me. When the wormhole appears, there will definitely be signs. Only then is it not too late for you to hold onto Jiang," Qi Rongfeng couldn’t stand it anymore and said,
After walking for a while longer, Jiang Cheng felt a breeze blowing, giving a chilling feeling, "Do you guys feel cold?" Jiang Cheng asked.
No, I don’t." Cloud turned and asked Jiang Cheng, "Brother Jiang, do you feel cold?"
Jiang Cheng remembered his senses were more sensitive than ordinary people, "It’s nothing. Just be careful. Rongfeng, Shuai, come and hold onto me." Jiang Cheng’s intuition told him danger was near and sure enough, after Qi Rongfeng and Zhao Shuai held onto Jiang Cheng, they saw the front plunged into darkness again. Jiang Cheng found it difficult to move, unable to walk forward. In front, Zhang Tian suddenly sat on the ground. Jiang Cheng only saw Zhang Tian close his eyes, sitting still on the ground, but at this moment, Jiang Cheng couldn’t worry about Zhang Tian.
He found that although his physical condition was unusual, with Zhao Shuai and Qi Rongfeng still holding onto him, the burden was heavy. Jiang Cheng felt as if his feet were leaving the ground. Jiang Cheng hurriedly steadied himself, then he saw a vortex appearing, signaling the coming of a tornado. Jiang... Jiang... how... are you?" Jiang Cheng heard Zhao Shuai’s broken voice.
Qi Rongfeng also noticed that Jiang Cheng was affected by the wormhole, as if about to be sucked in.
"Jiang, why don’t we let go of you?" Qi Rongfeng said. "No, hold on for a while." Jiang Cheng knew that if Qi Rongfeng and Zhao Shuai let go, they would be sucked away, just like Zhang Tian said, once sucked by the wormhole, they would be gone without a trace.
Jiang Cheng’s heart was also panicking, but apart from when the wormhole’s pull was the strongest earlier, making him somewhat unstable, now Jiang Cheng clearly felt the pull weakening.
Jiang Cheng saw Cloud holding the needle indeed very safely. She was looking worriedly at him, and Jiang smiled at Cloud to indicate he was okay.
Just when Jiang Cheng relaxed thinking the crisis was over, he found his feet suddenly feeling like they were leaving the ground again. At this time, Jiang Cheng noticed another vortex appeared above his head, and this time the pull was twice as strong as before. Jiang Cheng felt that holding on like this was not going to work. However, he didn’t have anything on him to increase gravity, and even if he did, letting go of Qi Rongfeng and Zhao Shuai was unimaginable. Jiang Cheng searched in his mind for any solutions to the current situation, suddenly he remembered seeing a method for dealing with cosmic wormholes on the wall of a secret chamber at the Qi Family residence. Although the current situation might differ, it was still a solution. Jiang Cheng recalled the method, and followed it, muttering to himself, while the pull grew stronger, seemingly overwhelming him.
But Jiang Cheng found Qi Rongfeng and Zhao Shuai letting go of him. Jiang Cheng muttered the method in his mind, firmly grabbing Zhao Shuai and Qi Rongfeng’s hands. He heard Qi Rongfeng and Zhao Shuai seemingly speaking something, but Jiang Cheng was fully focused on his mental operation, unable to attend to them. Moreover, Jiang Cheng knew he had to hold their hands tightly, murmuring, "energy sinking to the Dantian, gathering at the perineum." Upon finishing the last sentence, Jiang Cheng felt he was no longer swaying with the wormhole but standing firmly.
Afterwards, the wormhole disappeared, and everything returned to calm.
Brother Jiang, are you alright? I saw you just now," Cloud came to her senses and hurried to Jiang Cheng’s side, asking.
I’m fine." Jiang Cheng only then realized he was drenched in sweat, his heart still racing.
Still fine? Jiang, why didn’t you let go of me just now?" Zhao Shuai asked after calming down. Just now, he already felt Jiang Cheng couldn’t hold on, thinking it’s understandable given Jiang is an ordinary person, holding onto both himself and Rongfeng in that situation is unthinkable.
Yeah, Jiang, you should’ve let go earlier, at least you shouldn’t have been sucked away," Qi Rongfeng looked at Jiang Cheng. His usually calm face now showed some fear and also deep emotion. Knowing Jiang for not long, facing life and death, he felt Jiang’s determination to save him. Fortunately, nothing happened; if something did, he wouldn’t forgive himself. Qi Rongfeng thought.
Zhang Tian, why didn’t you warn us earlier about the danger here?" Zhao Shuai looked upset at the calm, unscathed Zhang Tian.
Alright, Shuai, stop talking," Qi Rongfeng walked to Zhao Shuai’s side and said.
Why shouldn’t I mention it? Rongfeng, you know we were almost sucked away if only Zhang Tian had warned us earlier, we could’ve been prepared, not as scared as just now!" Zhao Shuai said, glaring at Zhang Tian.
Zhang Tian remained unmoved by Zhao Shuai’s accusation, standing still without saying anything.
"It’s alright now, Shuai, stop bringing it up," Jiang Cheng said to Zhao Shuai, who was emotional.
Can we continue? We’ll reach there after walking a bit more." Zhang Tian said lightly, "Let’s go." Jiang Cheng glanced at Zhang Tian and followed.
