Seeing Su Wei stop, Shiina Hiyori voluntarily broke free from his embrace.
However, because she hadn't subconsciously adapted to this change in movement, the girl's legs suddenly went weak, and she stumbled involuntarily.
Su Wei reacted quickly, reaching out to support her arm and explaining gently:
"This speed is about the limit I can reach without relying on external tools."
"We rarely used it before because it wasn't necessary... This time it's for getting somewhere quickly, and also to avoid any accidents with our natural enemies in the air."
With his help, Shiina Hiyori regained her balance and let out a soft breath.
With her free hand, she gently tucked the blue hair that had been ruffled by the airflow around her ear.
The girl then raised her head again, looking at Su Wei with what she considered a decent appearance:
"Have you collected everything you needed to along the way?"
Su Wei smiled and nodded, then raised his chin and gazed into the distance.
Bathed in the morning light, a colossal tree, reaching straight to the sky and radiating dazzling brilliance, stands quietly between heaven and earth.
“That must be the World Tree.” Suwei squinted and examined it. “It looks much better than the Dread Emperor incarnation in the Skeleton Knight world.”
Hiyori Shiina did not respond immediately.
After a brief rest, she dutifully placed her hand on the proclamation scroll.
However, before Hiyori Shiina could finish reading the message and speak up, an accident occurred.
As if sensing something in advance, Su Wei turned his head to look behind him.
A group of burly men, bare-chested and bare-backed, were holding clearly dark-colored soul-refining weapons and pointing their guns at them.
They all looked tense, with the leader appearing especially wary.
"You...are human?"
Seeing that the other person was missing an arm, Su Wei didn't keep him in suspense and answered directly:
"I am indeed human, but not a human from your world."
"At least, in the world I know, there aren't any trees that grow so exaggeratedly."
The man in the lead frowned upon hearing this.
He raised an eyebrow and glanced at the World Tree behind Su Wei, but instead of relaxing, he looked tense and said:
"When ordinary people first see that World Tree, they will fall into a coma as if something has been sucked out of them."
"Why are you all acting so nonchalant...?"
“We were indeed first glanced at,” Shiina Hiyori explained calmly.
"Then how did you see through our protective magic and find our village?!"
Beside that man, another warrior, whose face looked somewhat dejected, gripped his soul-refining weapon even tighter upon hearing this, as if ready to fire at any moment.
Faced with this tense atmosphere, Su Wei sighed:
"Do you think that, given our ability to appear here out of thin air, if we really wanted to do anything to you..."
"Do you think your few soul-refining artifacts can possibly be effective against us?"
Seeing this, Shiina Hiyori was afraid that Su Wei's direct taunt would provoke the other side to fire.
Although it won't hurt them, it's never good to cause misunderstandings for no reason.
She shook her head somewhat helplessly, stepped forward, and explained in a gentle tone:
"Please don't be nervous, we mean no harm."
"We're here to find someone from the Tian Gong Association, the gentleman with the green hourglass-shaped symbol on his chest, Dr. Tian Mark."
As she spoke, it was as if she wanted to prevent the other person from misunderstanding anything.
Hiyori Shiina unfolded the Confession Book and used her spiritual power to project an image of "Gravity Crab King" with the symbol of the Tensei-kyoku in mid-air.
Seeing this scene created out of thin air, along with that familiar green hourglass symbol.
The people opposite them looked at each other, and their hostility finally subsided considerably.
In the end, it was Jew, the leader, who put away his gun.
He stared at Su Wei and Shiina Hiyori in shock:
"You just said you're not from this world... and that you know Mr. Mark..."
"Could it be that you are survivors from the 'back room'?!"
Su Wei raised an eyebrow, looking at him with interest:
"A back room? Looks like you know quite a bit of information?"
Jiewu shook his head bitterly, explaining somewhat dejectedly:
"I don't actually know much."
"It's just a superficial understanding pieced together from Mr. Mark's occasional soliloquy."
