Interstellar boss, she doesn't talk about martial arts

Chapter 1733 Not Buying It (First Update)
Having made his decision, Huo Yushen no longer hesitated and immediately began searching for possible projection anchor points on the lawn and rooftop with Xia Miao and the other six.

If he can find the projection anchor point first, he might be able to locate Xia Chujian and Xia Xiong and pull them out of the Ursus timeline!
At this moment, facing an ancient god of this level, Huo Yushen did not want to disturb She Zhuyin.

Her body can't take another big event like this.

He felt sorry for Xia Chujian, but not to the point that he would sacrifice his own mother to save the one he loved.

He could die for her, but he couldn't let his mother die for her too.

As a son, this is the most basic quality.

……

She Zhuyin had already woken up the moment the black mist invaded the Xia family manor.

It predates Xiao Jiuxiang by a great deal.

It can be said that the entire situation was under her control.

However, she did not intervene.

Because she smelled something different in that black fog.

Standing in front of the French windows, She Zhuyin looked out onto the terrace at the corner of the black mist that had just disappeared from the courtyard, and murmured, "...Has that road finally appeared?"

For Xia Chujian, this was an incredible opportunity.

There are certainly dangers, but She Zhuyin has great confidence in Xia Chujian's special abilities.

She decided not to get involved.

……

Summer saw the black mist rushing into the west side of the lawn.

Once inside, the scene before my eyes completely changed.

It was no longer the lush, verdant lawn of her family's estate.

Instead, it's a city that seems to have experienced the apocalypse.

The torrential rain was like a festering wound torn open in the sky; the black, highly acidic, cold, and viscous rain poured down endlessly.

Xia Chujian saw five figures ahead and hurriedly tried to contact them using the mecha communicator.

"Xia Xiong?"

Xia Chujian's voice came from inside the mecha's fully enclosed helmet.

Xia Xiong turned around abruptly and saw a lithe figure running towards him at lightning speed.

He quickly stopped in front of them.

It's a mecha design they're familiar with.

"Lieutenant General Xia?!"

Xia Xiong and his friends were both surprised and delighted.

They never expected that Xia Chujian would actually catch up with them!
Xia Chujian said, "Xia Miao sent you a message, didn't you receive it?"

Xia Xiong smiled wryly and said, "After I sent a message, I found that communication here was cut off."

"If you hadn't come in, we wouldn't be able to communicate with you using the mech communicator."

Xia Chujian hurriedly tried to contact Huo Yushen.

Sure enough, the message couldn't be sent.

Soon, Qilu's mischievous doodle font appeared on her eyepiece display screen.

[Qi Lu]: Master, this is the Ursus timeline. You are now in a closed spacetime, with no contact with the outside world.

Xia Chujian was puzzled.

What is the Ursus timeline?

Qi Lu seemed to know her doubts and quickly went on to explain.

【Seven Gods】: Ursus is one of the ancient gods of extremely high rank. Its true form is a mass of primordial flesh and blood, said to be the beginning and end of life.

【Seven Powers】: Ursus's authority is the ability to embed living beings into various time points he chooses.

【Seven Lu】: The time point that Ursus seized is a completely real existence, not an illusion at all. Basically, once you enter, you can't get out.

[Seven Lu]: However, the time points that Ursus seized always exist only in the past; they are all things that have happened. After He embedded the life form, that time point existing in the past became the food that sustained His growth.

Xia Chujian: "..."

WTF?

If you go in, you won't be able to get out?

It can even eat people?!
An illusion is just an illusion; how can it be distinguished as real or fake?
Xia Chujian didn't buy it.

However, she didn't say anything to Qi Lu, but only said to Xia Xiong and the others, "Now, you will follow my orders."

Xia Xiong and his four men immediately stood at attention and saluted: "Yes, Lieutenant General Xia!"

Xia Chujian nodded: "Come with me."

She led them toward the city ahead, a city that looked like it had experienced a devastating apocalypse.

It was still raining heavily.

Rainwater was pouring down on the visor display of the fully enclosed helmet, almost completely obscuring everyone's vision.

It also completely submerged the city before us, which seemed to have been abandoned in the wasteland of time, into a thick, ink-like darkness.

Only the occasional flash of dark purple lightning, tearing through the clouds, can reveal the surrounding outlines in a fleeting, breathtaking glimpse.

Xia Chujian proceeded cautiously.

Ahead, a twisted and broken steel skeleton stood erect in the heavy rain, like the skeleton of a prehistoric behemoth.

The wind and rain were dark and gloomy, emitting mournful groans, as if they were the combined cries and wails of countless creatures.

"All personnel, communications test!"

Xia Chujian's voice rang out from inside the fully enclosed helmets of everyone's second-generation mechs, drowning out the hallucinatory white noise in the excessively quiet environment.

Her calm yet slightly magnetic low-frequency voice seemed to be the only clearly discernible landmark in this unfamiliar city.

"Xia Xiong received, clear." As the squad's sniper, Xia Xiong needed to find the highest vantage point to have a panoramic view of the entire situation.

"Xia Chao received, clear." Xia Chao's assigned task was heavy firepower, and his voice was calm and composed. "Xia Yu received, clear." Xia Yu's responsibility was to provide technical support, and his voice was short and forceful.

"Xia Rao received it, clear." Explosives expert Xia Rao responded calmly.

"Xia Xi received it, clear." The last voice belonged to Xia Xi, carrying an undisguised tension, with a slight tremor at the end.

He was the youngest among them, and the one who had almost been corrupted by Ursus's mental energy just now; he was still not recovered.

Xia Chujian glanced at him.

Xia Xiong quickly recounted how Xia Xi had hallucinated earlier.

Xia Chujian immediately distributed a stalk of Crimson Flame Dew to everyone, saying, "Hold it in your mouth, and it can dispel any evil spirits that pollute your spiritual power."

She didn't want to call that guy an "ancient god" or an "evil god".

"God" is actually a beautiful word, but now that it's being used on these guys, she feels it's a defilement of the word.

So she simply called them "evil spirits".

Xia Xiong and the others noticed her little scheme.

Several people smiled knowingly at the same time, dispelling the overwhelming panic and unease in their hearts.

Xia Xi immediately took it and stuffed it into her mouth without hesitation.

A warm, indescribable feeling immediately flowed through his body, eventually settling deep within his brain.

The tremor, fear, and confusion that came from the depths of his soul vanished from his body almost in the blink of an eye.

It seemed to have encountered a natural enemy and hastily retreated.

Xia Xi was overjoyed: "Lieutenant General Xia! I'm all better! I'm all better!"

"I have not been contaminated by the remnants of the species!"

"I will not become a cripple!"

Xia Chujian smiled tolerantly, patted Xia Xi on the shoulder, and looked up ahead.

Her gaze pierced through the rain curtain and focused on a strange, low-lying building a hundred meters away, almost half-buried in the ground.

The building appeared and disappeared in the dim light and pouring rain, seemingly shifting between reality and illusion.

Xia Xiong followed her gaze and said, "That should be the altar."

"Xia Xi was attacked in the same place just now."

As they were talking, they saw twisted and writhing humanoid figures appear on the altar, seemingly appearing out of nowhere.

It seemed to appear out of thin air.

Then, these humanoid objects began a new round of compression and fusion, resulting in new, even more bizarre creations.

Aside from the presence of life, it was nothing like a human, nor any creature they had ever seen.

It was just chunks of meat.

Before Xia Chujian gave them the Crimson Dew, they couldn't even look directly at this altar.

But now, they find it doesn't matter if they look at the altar anymore.

Xia Chujian felt disgusted just looking at it.

Without hesitation, she raised her gun and pulled the trigger.

A colorless beam of energy silently shot out from the 1.5-meter-long gun barrel and struck the altar directly.

The altar, which had been hovering between reality and illusion, suddenly solidified, and Xia Chujian's shot pierced a hole in it.

The intense heat extended outwards from the edge of the cave until it burned the altar and the strange creations on it to ashes.

Xia Xiong's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

"How was Lieutenant General Xia able to hit the target with a single shot?! When we fire, it's like we're shooting at thin air!"

Xia Chujian said calmly, "That's because your marksmanship is poor; you didn't hit its core."

The real reason is that in her presence, those so-called ancient gods, evil gods, and remnants cannot exist as mere phantoms.

No matter what state they come in, they will all become real in her presence.

The altar was destroyed, and the entrance to the city appeared before them.

Xia Chujian calmly instructed: "Proceed according to plan."

"Xia Xiong, once inside, take control of the high ground and provide remote support."

"Xia Chao and Xia Yu followed on my left and right sides."

"Xia Rao, find a hidden passage."

"Xia Xi, stay close to me, let's enter the city together."

Her commands were concise and clear, sharp and cold like a blade amidst the sound of rain.

"Roger that!"

The group of people, like shadows soaked in rain, silently dispersed into the night.

The mecha boots trod on the muddy and broken streets, splashing up a few dirty water droplets, but they were quickly swallowed up by the rain flowing down the street.

The air was thick with the smells of rust, blood, and some indescribable stench of decay that had suddenly surfaced after years of fermentation, so strong it was almost suffocating.

Fortunately, they had fully enclosed second-generation mechs, so they wouldn't be harmed by that aura.

However, the environmental data displayed on the mech's eyepiece screen was already a deep red color, indicating that the environmental pollution in this place was very serious.

It's almost identical to the areas occupied by the Zerg.

Although there wasn't a single Zerg creature in sight.

What on earth is this place?
The group formed a line and quickly approached the city ahead, which resembled a giant beast lying prone.

The city, shrouded in torrential rain, is surrounded by high walls.

At the entrance, there is also a rusty iron gate.

　There will be a second update at 12:05 PM.
