Oh no! I'm surrounded by the main characters!

Seeing that the old village chief was still praying silently under these circumstances, Yi Feiyang quickly called out to him. The village chief seemed to then realize what was happening and immediately stopped praying.

In a hurry, he gathered all the remaining villagers together. The remaining villagers gripped their weapons tightly, looking around nervously and fearfully. Their throbbing throats and cold sweat on their foreheads revealed the fear in their hearts.

With the remaining villagers all gathered together, Ao Tian, ​​who seemed to be hiding in the shadows, couldn't find an opportunity to strike and remained silently in the dark.

Seeing that Ao Tian, ​​who was hiding in the shadows, had not yet made a move, the villagers breathed a slight sigh of relief.

What do we do now?

The old village chief steadied his still-pounding heart and asked Yi Feiyang beside him, his voice trembling.

"We need to get out of here first. Their target shouldn't be us. As long as we stick together, they shouldn't continue to attack us."

After a brief moment of thought, Yi Feiyang astutely discerned Ao Tian's intentions and said in a deep voice, "After all, if Ao Tian's target were them, he would have already seized the opportunity to strike."

As the old village chief suppressed his fear, he realized what Yi Feiyang meant and his eyes widened instantly. He pointed tremblingly at the phoenix totem behind him.

"You mean, his goal is our holy site."

"If I'm not mistaken, yes."

Yi Feiyang nodded. Upon hearing this, the old village chief's initial fear gradually turned into anger, seemingly as his reverence for the sacred land outweighed the fear instilled by Ao Tian.

"No, this is our sacred land. I will not tolerate anyone destroying our sacred land, even if it means my death."

The old village chief, his face stubborn, grabbed a hoe from a villager beside him, ready to fight Ao Tian, ​​but was instantly stopped by Yi Feiyang and Yi Dashan.

Yi Dashan frantically winked at Yi Feiyang, whose face was also filled with worry. He clearly hadn't expected that his words would instead provoke the old village chief's anger and sense of responsibility for protecting the sacred land.

"Village chief, if you don't think about yourself, you should think about everyone else. So many villagers are already injured. Do you want to see the rest of them get hurt too?"

Yi Feiyang grabbed the old village chief's arm and hurriedly tried to persuade him. Hearing Yi Feiyang's words and looking at the many injured villagers around him, the old village chief seemed to struggle a bit.

"You're right, let's go!"

The old village chief let out a final sigh and shouted to the surrounding villagers. The remaining villagers, while huddled together wary of Ao Tian lurking in the shadows, slowly led the injured villagers down the mountain.

And just as Yi Feiyang had predicted, Ao Tian simply watched them leave from the shadows without intervening.

As Yi Feiyang and his nephew, along with many villagers, disappeared from sight, Ao Tian leaped down from the tree like a nimble wolf and landed on the ground.

Dr. Shi's task for him was to find the interdimensional portal hidden within the phoenix totem; he didn't intend to kill all the villagers.

Then, arriving before the towering phoenix totem standing in the woods, Ao Tian stretched out his wolf-claw-like hand and touched the surface of the totem. He then walked around the totem, sniffing the surrounding air.

Even after looking at it for a long time, the totem in front of him seemed to be just an ordinary stone pillar, and he couldn't see anything magical about it.

"Another dimension?"

Ao Tian looked at the totem before him and muttered to himself. Then, he suddenly punched the totem, but to his surprise, the seemingly ordinary stone pillar did not change at all despite his full-force punch.

It should be noted that after he fused with the K30 muscle-enhancing drug, his physical abilities skyrocketed, and a full-force punch could easily shatter stone tablets, but it couldn't cause the slightest damage to the stone pillar in front of him.

Touching the still pristine surface of the stone pillar, Ao Tian began to believe what Dr. Shi had said; it seemed that this phoenix totem did indeed have some unique features.

Even so, in his eyes, this totem was just a slightly harder stone pillar, and he still couldn't see where the so-called other-dimensional space was.

Chapter 152 The Strongest Doomsday Envoy, Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Long Dan

"Oh, right, the assistant the doctor mentioned."

Ao Tian suddenly remembered what Dr. Shi had mentioned to Ye Qing about an assistant in the communicator. He subconsciously turned his head to look around, then lowered his head, smiled, and shook his head.

After all, even if Dr. Shi really sent someone to help him, they were in the Western Regions, so how could that assistant arrive so quickly?

Then Ao Tian's gaze fell on the phoenix totem again. Just as he was pondering how to explain himself to Dr. Shi if he couldn't find that so-called other-dimensional space,...

Unbeknownst to him, a ripple suddenly appeared in the space above his head, and amidst a wave of eerie green energy, a rhombus-shaped black crystal quietly emerged.

"hehe......"

A deep, hoarse voice suddenly rang in Ao Tian's ears, instantly startling him. He abruptly turned his head to look around, his back arching like a wolf's as he warily surveyed his surroundings.

"Who?"

In his werewolf form, Ao Tian's crimson pupils scanned his surroundings, but he saw and smelled no one.

"Don't be nervous."

A hoarse voice sounded from behind, causing Ao Tian to instinctively reach out his right hand, which was covered in fangs and sharp claws, to grab behind him, but he grasped at empty air.

Then, to Ao Tian's astonishment, the black crystal in the sky, emitting a dark green energy fluctuation, slowly flew to his front.

"What is this thing? How can it talk?"

Looking at the magic crystal that had made the sound, Ao Tian blinked. After confirming that he wasn't mistaken, a bold guess suddenly popped into his mind.

Could this be the assistant Dr. Shi just mentioned being sent to them?

"That's right, I was sent by Dr. Shi to help you open the door to another dimension."

As if reading Ao Tian's thoughts, the magic crystal floating in the air trembled slightly, and then Evil Wood's deep voice came from it.

Ao Tian stared at the scene before him, speechless, wondering what Dr. Shi had sent to help him.

The magic crystal seemed to ignore his shock, slowly floating to the top of the phoenix totem. As a wave of eerie green shadow energy emanated, the entire phoenix totem pillar was enveloped in a crimson light.

hum-

As crimson light spread across the totem, the final golden energy vortex appeared before Ao Tian.

"This is... that other dimension?"

Seeing the golden vortex that suddenly appeared before him, resembling a spatial gate, even the well-traveled Ao Tian couldn't help but crane his neck to observe it closely.

Ao Tian glanced back discreetly and discovered that even after the interdimensional portal opened, the magic crystal continued to float in the air as if nothing had happened.

Although he had some doubts, Ao Tian glanced at the golden vortex, gritted his teeth, and stepped into it.

The next moment, Ao Tian's figure became illusory and then completely disappeared from the spot, as if nothing had ever happened.

Only the demonic stone in the sky trembled slightly, bearing witness to what had just happened.

As the ripples around the Demon Stone disappeared once more, the entire forest fell silent again.

However, this silence did not last long before it was broken again.

Whoosh-!

Whoosh-!

A series of rapid footsteps approached, followed by a commotion in the woods, and three dark shadows streaked across the sky.

With three heavy footsteps, three figures draped in black robes and wielding swords landed before the phoenix totem.

As the three men removed the hoods of their black robes, two of their faces were revealed to be Yu Xuan and Bruga, the two Doomsday Envoys who had recently encountered Luo Chuan at the Giant Buddha Cave and had their Boundless Sacred Stones stolen from them.

Beside Yu Xuan and Bruga stood a middle-aged man with a thin face and a resolute expression.

The man held an ancient-looking long knife in his hand, slightly raised his chin to reveal a hint of arrogance, and stared at the phoenix totem in front of him with his bright eyes.

"Is this where the last Phoenix Crystal is hidden?"

The man gave a soft hum, then stepped forward and gently tapped the phoenix totem stone pillar with his knuckles, seemingly very interested in everything before him.

"Teacher, is he really okay?"

Behind the man, Yu Xuan watched his actions and, with a worried expression, quietly asked Bruga beside him, "..."

Bruga waved to Yu Xuan with a smile, seemingly unconcerned about Yu Xuan's concerns.

"Don't worry, he's a true warrior, he won't delay things."

Bruga's gaze as he watched the man's retreating figure was filled with confidence and reassurance, and an uncontrollable smile played on his lips.

Since Luo Chuan stole the Boundless Sacred Stone from him and his apprentice in the Giant Buddha Cave not long ago, Bruga realized that the two of them alone were no match for Luo Chuan.

Even though the Limitless Sacred Stone in their possession is the nemesis of the Four Spirit Crystals in Luo Chuan's hands, Luo Chuan can still use other abilities.

With their combined strength, they would probably never be able to wrest the Four Spirit Crystals from Luo Chuan and complete the mission of the Doomsday Envoy.

Therefore, he decisively chose to awaken the strongest doomsday envoy who had been asleep for hundreds of years, the former commander of the Ming Dynasty's Embroidered Uniform Guard, Long Dan.

And Long Dan did not disappoint them. Even though he had been asleep for hundreds of years and had just awakened, the strength he displayed far exceeded their expectations.

"That's right, according to our investigation, this is the location of the Phoenix Crystal."

However, the Phoenix Crystal is hidden within a separate dimensional space. We must first enter this dimensional space to find the Phoenix Crystal.

Bruga, holding a scepter, slowly walked forward to Longdan's side. He also looked up at the tall phoenix totem pillar before him, nodded, and spoke.

He then pulled out a gem shaped like the sun, constantly emitting an orange-yellow light, from his neck. It was the Limitless Sacred Stone, which could restrain the Four Spirit Crystals.

Although Luo Chuan had taken the Boundless Sacred Stones worn by Bruga and Yu Xuan in front of the Giant Buddha Cave earlier,

Fortunately, as the Holy Messengers of Doomsday, they possess the ability to summon the Infinite Holy Stone, so they don't need to worry about it being stolen.

As Bruga picked up the Limitless Sacred Stone hanging around his neck, it seemed to sense the power of the Four Spirit Crystals, bursting forth with a dazzling orange-yellow light.

The next moment, the golden vortex reappeared on the phoenix totem.

Looking at the vortex before them, Bruga exchanged a glance with Long Dan and Yu Xuan beside him. The three of them simultaneously stepped into the golden vortex.

With a ripple in the space, the three figures also disappeared before the phoenix totem.
