mysterious forerunner

Chapter 337 Exposed

"Boom boom boom..."

Amid the billowing smoke, countless hideous skulls continuously smashed into the clam spider battlefield.

Unexpectedly, these skulls exploded like cannonballs, with a power even greater than that of large-caliber howitzers!
The clam spider quickly closed its shell, but it was still blown to pieces.

Thick smoke rolled up and gathered into a huge vortex thousands of meters in the sky. Behind it, a huge skull appeared faintly, and the vortex was exactly the mouth of the skull.

Those broken clam spiders, including the various strange corpses that had been killed on the ground before, were sucked into the vortex, and then turned into more skulls, flying out from the skull phantom's twins.

As soon as they appeared, these new skulls began to spew black smoke from various orifices that flew all over the sky.

They replaced the clam spiders and became the masters of this space.

Zhang Qingxiang touched his chin. This was not good. This place did not have a fixed owner. The lightning in the sky would open the door to the void from time to time, attracting monsters from other places here - it was like a lottery. If a powerful monster was drawn, this place would have a new owner.

Establish an outpost here and be prepared to deal with more powerful monsters at any time.

But now this is the best choice.

After those skulls occupied this address, they flew around arrogantly in the sky. After a few minutes, the "celebration" ended. All the skulls flew back and gathered together, like building blocks, to form a skull as huge as a mountain. Thick black smoke spewed out of the holes, like a demon god!
Zhang Qingxiang suddenly noticed that there had been no lightning in the sky for a long time.

"Is it the rule of this space?" Zhang Qingxiang secretly guessed: "After the new master is born, there will be a period of 'protection'?"

Zhang Qingxiang emerged from the water and ordered Wu Silie: "Prepare to build an outpost!"

Zhang Qingxiang walked on the water, heading towards the huge skull that was as big as a mountain.

boom--

Black smoke gushed out violently, and the weird thing also discovered Zhang Qingxiang.

Countless skulls broke apart and flew up, like a swarm of suicide drones, flying madly towards Zhang Qingxiang.

Wu Silie touched Guan Xuanbai beside him and asked, "Can Director Zhang handle it?"

There were many strong people present, and they should have rushed forward and cooperated with each other to fight against the strong enemy. However, Zhang Qingxiang did not make such arrangements. Wu Silie guessed that although the monster was very strong, Director Zhang could suppress it alone.

Guan Xuanbai crossed his arms and nodded: "Yes!"

Guan Xuanbai actually wanted to use this monster to "test the sword" and estimate whether he could fight this thing in a 30-70 fight.

He was itching to show off his skills, so after being promoted to the seventh level, he unlocked a new sword skill that allowed him to control three hundred and sixty "sword threads" at the same time.

But since it was related to the outpost base, Director Zhang had to take action personally and could not afford to make any mistakes, so Guan Xuanbai suppressed his desire to fight.

Suddenly, Guan Xuanbai had a certain sensation in his heart. At the same time, everyone above the seventh level felt it and looked around in confusion.

"It seems like someone is spying on us?"

"Is there a third party force here?"

"Everyone stay alert in case someone attacks the director!"

Zhang Qing was more sensitive than them to the fact that a third force had appeared in this space, but this force appeared as an "observer".

Zhang Qingxiang is different from Guan Xuanbai and others. Zhang Qingxiang is in the [Domination Realm].

The naming of each realm has its deep-seated basis.

For example, in this space, before Zhang Qingxiang took action, the clam spider and the skull "took turns to be the host" to become the master, but as long as Zhang Qingxiang took action and demonstrated his own strength, he would be the [master] of this space!
Unless someone stronger appears.

And the [Master] should also enjoy some "power" at the spatial and world levels, so Zhang Qingxiang can directly determine that the power of this third party belongs to the "Observer".

However, Zhang Qingxiang was not sure where this "observer" came from, and whether he would suddenly change from an "observer" to a "participant". Therefore, Zhang Qingxiang made a prompt decision to solve the skull abnormality with the most drastic means and then prepare for the second battle.

Zhang Qingxiang raised the [Fountain of Source].

……

Josh is a "mysterious" blogger.

Before the mystery came, he was the mystery blogger.

Bring various "equipment" to explore famous haunted houses, ancient tombs, mysterious places, etc.

Referred to as "suicidal blogger".

A few days ago, he nearly died in a dilapidated mountain castle in Ireland.

The castle is very famous, and there are many horror legends related to it circulating on the Internet. Some people have also done statistics and said that there was no news of at least three "adventurers" after they announced that they were going to the castle.

Most people regard these rumors as just curious stories, but Josh is very sure that they are all true!
Because he found two bodies with only bones left in the castle, and took away the old home camera wrapped around the neck of one of them.

After escaping from the castle, Josh returned home in a panic, only to discover that the camera was actually a secret object!
It can randomly allow itself to see some mysterious and empty events.

He hasn't been out doing anything stupid these days. He turns on the camera every day and broadcasts live directly to his fans.

But he couldn't clearly explain where these mysterious voids existed.

So many fans questioned that he used some software to generate some fantastic images and played them for everyone to see.

People in the live broadcast room kept calling him a liar.

But today is a little different, because at the start of the show, there is a human being in the scene randomly selected by the camera!
He walked out of a river and was faced with countless weird skulls flying in the sky and spraying black smoke!

The audience in the live broadcast room was happy: Wow! There is a new job today. In the past, it was just a battle between monsters, but today there is a "protagonist".

It seems that the blogger's skills have improved.

Sure, sure. Although I know the blogger is lying to us, I just like to read it.

Blogger, you have tried hard to cheat for rewards.

Josh explained as usual: This is not my Sheng Heng's video, this is real. I got a wonderful secret item...

No one cared at all, and Josh lay down.

You can curse as much as you want, as long as there are rewards and attention.

There were tens of thousands of viewers in the live broadcast room, some came in and some left, and no one noticed that a user named "Charles" came in.

Charles saw Zhang Qingxiang in the live broadcast and immediately realized that this live broadcast room was not simple.

So within a few minutes, senior officials of the mysterious agencies of several major political bodies in North America and Europe all saw this live broadcast.

During the live broadcast, the black smoke skulls that were flying all over the sky were like suicide drones, crashing towards Zhang Qing.

Boom boom boom explosions continued to sound, each one with the power of a large-caliber artillery!

The faces of the top officials of the Mysterious Agency changed. They were all wondering if they could withstand such a bombardment. The answer in most people's minds was no.

Zhang Qingxiang raised the [Fountain of Source] and instantly pulled all the black smoke skulls into the two-dimensional world!
All the weirdness, all the explosions, turned into a painting on a flat surface.

In a large war room in North America, the top executives of the mysterious agency and several powerful figures were surprised and asked, "Is it that simple?"

Hughes sat in a corner of the long table and said calmly, "It's that simple for him."

On Daying's side, there is no advanced and tidy operations room like the North Americans. The office of the Mysterious Agency is located in a building with a historical atmosphere, and the office is a bit cramped.

Charles saw his superiors staring in astonishment, and was secretly proud of himself. He straightened his handmade suit, stood up and said, "Zhang and I have a very close relationship."

"I can contact him if the Empire needs me to."

If he said this in China, it would basically be the same as bragging to others, "I have a friend..."

But this is Da Ying, and he chose to use a word that is easily misunderstood: intimacy.

Several superiors, including an older woman with short blond hair, all looked behind him.

Then everyone was very gentlemanly and restrained: we respect everyone's choice.

Several senior officials exchanged glances quickly. If they were really that... close, it would be a good thing for the empire.

The times are undergoing tremendous changes, and we have always had flexible policies.

We follow the strong, and if there are two strong men... we can divide our loyalty in half.

"Charles," the hostess said, "Contact Zhang Qingxiang and ask him where he has been."

"No problem," Charles snapped his fingers. "He has always been honest with me about our relationship. He will tell me anything I want to know."

Everyone nodded, understanding that he doted on you.

…A heated debate was taking place in the North American war room.

It seems that everywhere in North America, there are hawks and doves.

Even a small war room like this.

“We have to increase our budget significantly!”

"The Chinese are already far ahead of us in the mysterious field. This is a serious problem that cannot be ignored for the security of North America!"

“We need to catch up and keep North America great forever!”

Hughes kept shaking his head and continued to use the same old tricks, trying every possible way to get money from Congress.

The doves, on the other hand, spoke earnestly and emphasized the need to "strengthen cooperation." They said North America has always been great, and we can use talents from all over the world. We don't need to use our limited funds on confrontation. We still have many areas that need to be strengthened, such as... and so on.

The areas that need strengthening are their traditional areas of interest.

Hughes remained silent. Both factions, under the guise of "North American interests," were doing nothing more than putting taxpayers' money into their own wallets.

Finally, the leader of the Hawks pounded the table and roared: "It is impossible to cooperate with Zhang Qingxiang! This man is very dangerous. He has committed serious crimes in North America!"

He Xuan quickly opened a document: "Gentlemen, take a look at what he has done!"

Hughes couldn't stand it anymore, he slammed the table and stood up, pointing at the live screen: "Have any of you ever thought about where this is?"

Hawk casually said, “Isn’t it some mysterious scene?”

Hughes said angrily: "Look again carefully!"

Everyone present only saw how powerful Zhang Qingxiang was, and then they just argued. After Hughes reminded them, they started to think seriously.

It really doesn't seem like a mystery scene.

The environment on the screen is completely different from that on Earth.

If the mysterious arrival will also cause some changes to the environment...but the mysterious scenes dealt with by various countries are basically within the residential areas.

Those mysterious scenes in the deep mountains and forests will never be discovered.

The scene in the live broadcast is obviously not a residential area.

At this time, on the live broadcast screen, Zhang Qingxiang had successfully dealt with the black smoke skull. He called Guan Xuanbai out, collected all kinds of strange corpses on the ground, and put them into the gourd.

Hughes knocked on the table again: "See? They are collecting resources!"

“Everyone knows that what is in the mysterious scene cannot be brought out, and it is not an aesthetic scene at all.”

"I know Zhang Qingxiang. He won't do meaningless things. He asked Guan Xuanbai to collect them, which means that these things can be taken back!"

"I am very sure that Zhang Qingxiang has found a place where he can collect unlimited mysterious resources!"

Hughes gritted his teeth and said, "We must send out goodwill signals and reconcile with him, otherwise we will definitely fall behind in the new era!"

People from both factions looked suspicious. Is it that serious?
Hughes was tired, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Or... we can try to maintain indirect contact and consultation with the Chinese through Da Yingren."

The highest commander present nodded: "This plan is feasible, contact Da Ying."

……

Charles found that he suddenly became very popular.

The same treatment was received by Hanks from Bavaria.

It’s just that Hanks is more “real” and doesn’t brag about his “close” relationship with Zhang Qingxiang like Charles does.

Da Ying believed Charles' words. Other countries called and hoped to reach a cooperation with Zhang Qingxiang through Da Ying. Da Ying confidently offered various high prices.

And declare to the public that our Mr. Charles is the man that Mr. Zhang Qingxiang cannot refuse!
The whole of Europe... no, the whole earth knew what kind of people the Big Ying were. They immediately understood what the Big Ying people meant and agreed to their requests one after another, hoping that Mr. Charles would act as a matchmaker for them.

At least we need to find out where Zhang Qingxiang is going.

What Hughes can understand, high-level professionals can also understand.

Even the North American dad called and asked Charles for help. Charles was really a little overwhelmed...it was as if he had returned to the good old days before World War II.

At that time, Daying was still the father and Meibei was still the son.

North America is really a rebellious son, and Da Ying is really... a man of flexibility. When the rebellious son says "I will be the father", Da Ying will obediently call him dad.

Charles has been watching the live broadcast.

This public live broadcast lasted only half an hour before it was disconnected.

The public was disconnected, so the mysterious agency sent out an action team to bring Josh back with the camera.

Charles waited for Zhang Qingxiang to come back, and ended up waiting for a whole day.

……

Zhang Qingxiang didn't expect that due to an accidental incident, his exploration of the secret world would be watched by the whole world.

In his previous life, Josh’s live broadcast didn’t last long.

The audience thought he was a liar, but Charles discovered that this live broadcast involved mystery. After reporting it, he sent a team over, confiscated the camera, and cleaned Josh of the infection value.

Josh is not a professional, and after using the secret objects for a long time, he has shown signs of turning into something weird.

Originally, Josh had to be compensated for the confiscation of the secret object. However, the cost of cleaning the infection value was expensive, and the bill was not covered by Josh's medical insurance. After calculating the two... Josh still owed the Mystery Department tens of thousands of pounds!
The masters of the mysterious department were so kind that they didn't ask you for money and kicked the unlucky guy out...

……

As soon as the twenty-four hours were up, Zhang Qingxiang, Ye Yousheng and Guan Xuanbai returned to the Earth.

Wu Silie has already led his men to build a preliminary outpost base - they originally brought a large number of secret objects used to build the base, among which there is even a large secret machine similar to the [Steam Engine Core]. Once deployed, it will quickly form a solid fortress like the base vehicle in the game!
He Xu volunteered to take charge of the base.

In the Gobi Desert, a temporary mysterious hospital and a mysterious prison were built in just one day.

Zhang Qingxiang and others set out earlier yesterday, and soon after, Ye Shumin and Yi Hangdao and others arrived.

Ye Shumin personally presided over the cleansing of the mysterious infection on her son, future daughter-in-law, and others, and also dealt with their personal belongings.

Then Zhang Qingxiang took Guan Xuanbai to open the gourd in the mysterious prison and poured out the secret materials they had collected this time.

Yi Hang Dao Ren and Dr. Ma's eyes lit up: "We've made a fortune!"

"Make a fortune!"

Zhang Qingxiang instructed Yihang Dao Ren: "First, choose the secret materials that can be used to set up the formation."

As Zhang Qingxiang spoke, he explained to the two how to set up the [Practice Formation Diagram].

[Practice Array Diagram] In the previous life, China only developed to the third version.

Using cheap secret materials as fillers, array formations are used to stimulate the mysterious energy within, providing professionals with energy for practice.

In this way, low-level professionals can practice quickly without entering mysterious scenes or secret realms.

It was only developed to the third version because in the later stages, the secret world and the earth world overlapped, and the mysterious energy filled the earth world, so this formation became useless.

However, the efficiency of the third edition of the [Practice Formation Diagram] is already very high.

When Taoist Yihang saw the formation, his eyes lit up, as if he was possessed by a wolf demon.

After Dr. Ma understood the principle of the formation, he glanced at the secret materials on the ground, estimated and said, "This formation can make use of the leftovers from the secret materials."

"What you brought back is enough to build more than 300 [Practice Formation Diagrams], and every major city in the country can get at least one!"

"Director Zhang, because of your efforts, the strength of the National Secret Security Bureau is about to usher in an overall leap forward!"

Zhang Qingxiang smiled with relief and left the rest of the matters to Yihang Daoren and Dr. Ma. He believed that the two would make good use of these secret materials.

After Zhang Qingxiang and Guan Xuanbai came out of the mysterious prison, they got their cell phones back from their mother. As soon as they got them, the phone rang. It was a strange number.

Zhang Qing picked up the phone, and Charles on the other end greeted him warmly in the broken Chinese he had just learned: "Hi, Zhang, how are you? I'm Charles."

"Who?" Zhang Qingxiang looked confused: "I don't know him."

Snapped!
The phone hung up.

Charles and the several high-ranking officials surrounding him all looked bewildered...
