Who let him join the Sword Sect!

Chapter 505 Mr. Zhang's Search and Retreat

Once he regained his senses, the first thing Zhang Ze did was hide.

Like a magical girl transforming, a black bodysuit replaced the sword sect's white robe, clinging tightly to his skin. With a snapping sound of a bouncy rubber band, Zhang Ze vanished without a trace.

After hiding, he first checked the remaining teammates around him.

Feeling the pouch at his waist, Zhang Ze discovered that Little Earth Fairy was playing cards with Ma Hua. The two were playing a game of drawing turtles, and judging from the slips of paper on their faces, they seemed to be evenly matched.

Then Zhang Ze took out a necklace-like beast-taming ring, stuck his head inside to look, and saw a little rotten fairy and Mao Mao giving a lesson to a group of twin-tailed little elves.

Lesson Title: Good Dogs and Good Mushrooms

They all appeared normal and had not been harmed or affected in any way.

It seems that the strange loss of contact did not affect Zhang Ze himself.

After a moment's thought, Zhang Ze quietly approached a stone wall.

This place is a canyon in the Gobi Desert, with many strangely shaped rocky mountains. It is unknown how long they have been exposed to the wind and sand, but there are many inconspicuous hiding places.

Zhang Ze took out a wooden kite from his treasure bag and released it into the air.

As the wooden kite ascended, its field of vision expanded, and it began recording data. Simultaneously, the small magic array inside the kite was activated.

After a rough automatic calculation, Mu Yuan roughly calculated the area of ​​the place based on the observed data.

This seems a bit too big.

Although not precisely measured, the area appears to be about the size of Shizuku and is also spherical.

Zhang Ze, "Huh?"

After discovering the unusual size of the White Jade Palace, Zhang Ze continued to control the wooden kite to ascend.

However, just as it was about to reach its limit, the wooden kite's signal suddenly disappeared, as if it had fallen into a celestial barrier.

"Wow, could it be that the Four Continents are twins? Is this a shadow world?"

But as soon as this guess came out, Zhang Ze denied it himself, because he always felt that something was wrong.

Something was off about that weather.

Zhang Ze looked up at the sky.

Unlike the sky over the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm, the sky here is not an inverted sea, but the same as the sky over the Four Continents, with both clouds and sun.

Only the sun.
Zhang Ze stared at the sun. His excellent physique, bestowed upon him by cultivation, gave him an invincible retina, so the mere sunlight would not blind him.

I looked at it for a long time, but I always felt that there was a layer of fog in front of me, and the sun looked fake no matter how I looked at it.

Moreover, Zhang Ze also discovered that the 'sun' seemed to be stationary compared to the Jade Palace.

It remains forever in the center of the sky, maintaining the state that it is already noon.

It looks so fake, like it was just hung up there.
Zhang Ze blinked, no longer staring blankly, and gently tapped his forehead.

As the ripples spread, a colorless light shone on Zhang Ze's forehead. As the light shone, Zhang Ze's pupils disappeared.

He was devoid of any emotion, appearing almost like a god.

As he gazed at it again, the sky gradually revealed its true form.

"As expected," Zhang Ze muttered to himself.

"What do you mean, 'as expected'?"

While Zhang Ze was deep in thought, Fu Ji suddenly popped out on her own.

She arched her arms in front of Zhang Ze's chest, creating a tent-like opening in her tight-fitting clothes.

Fortunately, this lump of rotten rouge wasn't big, only the size of a palm, and Zhang Ze's bodysuit was incredibly elastic, so it didn't feel crowded.

Sensing Fu Ji's movement, Zhang Ze stopped looking at the sky and instead shrank back into his bodysuit.

He took out a small table from his treasure bag, placed it in front of his chest, and used it as a platform for Fu Ji to move around.

Fu Ji ran around the table twice, quite satisfied, but she still hadn't forgotten what Zhang Ze had just said, so she asked.

"What did you say? You actually found out? What happened outside? Where's A-Li?"

Faced with Fu Ji's barrage of explanations, Zhang Ze was at a loss for words. Helpless, he took out a piece of paper and drew a diagram on it.

"That's the situation right now."

Zhang Ze showed his meticulously drawn masterpiece to Fu Ji.

However, after looking at it for a long time, Fu Ji still shook her head.

"I don't understand, what's that pink poop?"

Zhang Ze: "Cough, that's not poop, that's a sacred tree."

Fukihime: "That, that silver fur thing."

Zhang Ze said, "That's not Mao; it's a sapling of the sacred tree that was just planted yesterday."

Fuhime said "Oh," and then added, "I understand. So that white poop-shaped person is you, right?"

Zhang Ze, “.”

After Zhang Ze's explanation, Fu Ji roughly understood the meaning of the painting.

Although it is unknown how this place came to exist, it is somewhat similar to the inner world of the Four Continents.

There is only a red sphere in the center, like the sun, but there is no real sky.

Zhang Ze reached out and pressed on Fu Ji's head. A colorless light flashed, and Zhang Ze gestured for Fu Ji to go outside and take a look.

Fu Ji gave an "oh" and then climbed out from the sleeve of Zhang Ze's bodysuit.

She looked up, but at first she didn't notice anything unusual.

So, Fuhime snorted unhappily, and a ring of eyes suddenly sprouted from her head.

With the increase in her eyesight, this time she saw through the fog that obscured the 'sky'.

The 'sun' that resembles a red egg is still there, but the sky has become another continent.

Because she was inside the sphere, Fuki saw the mountains and seas of another continent, as well as some blurry cities, and the distorted horizon also became the correct shape.

It looks like a giant slide, it looks like so much fun.

However, just as Fukihime was looking at this underground world and chuckling, she suddenly saw a huge cloud of water vapor erupt in a very, very far place.

Lightning surged within the mist, and the shape of a dragon appeared and disappeared.

Zhang Ze also sensed something was wrong and poked his head out from under the bodysuit.

Although I couldn't sense the specific aura because I was too far away, its imposing presence was very similar to that of the giant tortoise Zhu Luo.

It seems to be fighting with someone?
Still a lot of people.

Before Zhang Ze could examine it closely, the mist vanished without a trace, as if it had never existed.

Seeing this, Zhang Ze quickly took out the communication artifact that Sect Leader Lu had given him before he set off.

With the star trails in his hand shimmering, Zhang Ze began to call out to Zhu Luo, but the star representing Zhu Luo remained dim and lifeless.

Not only Zhu Luo, but the other Mahayana cultivators also did not respond to Zhang Ze's call.

"Ugh?"

Although he was momentarily panicked, Zhang Ze quickly calmed down.

He flipped the star track in his hand, and as the stars went backward, the stars in the track lit up again.

Seeing the four stars light up again, Zhang Ze breathed a sigh of relief.

This star track was a magical artifact specially crafted by Sect Master Lu for this invasion.

In addition to sending messages, they can also confirm each other's safety and location.

The stars shining signify that they are all safe and sound, and their lives are not in danger.

Thinking of this, Zhang Ze quickly rotated the star track again to confirm the positions of the others.

But strangely, the starlight in the star trails went out again this time.

Staring blankly at the star trail in his hand for a moment, Zhang Ze suddenly understood the meaning conveyed by the flickering starlight.

Silence.

When the star representing one's destiny shines brightly, it indicates that one's life is safe and sound.

However, if the starlight used for communication and reporting goes out, it means that you should not contact or communicate.
I wonder what they encountered, especially that strange phenomenon that seemed to be Senior Zhu Luo's intervention, it's really intriguing.

"What do we do now?" Fu Ji asked, tugging at Zhang Ze's trouser leg.

After pondering for a moment, Zhang Ze said, "Let's meet up with A Li first, then we'll go to the place where Senior Zhu Luo just made his move, and then we'll see what happens next."

Zhang Ze was also at a loss. Firstly, the situation in Baiyujing was beyond his expectations, and secondly, he was somewhat weak at the moment.

Compared to Sect Master Lu and the others, they are indeed somewhat weak.

What could possibly keep Sect Leader Lu and the others silent?

Zhang Ze didn't think he could withstand it.

Shaking his head, Zhang Ze temporarily put the question out of his mind.

I still have a way out.

Fortunately, I was quick enough to pull the arm that was pointing the middle finger into my magic bag as I made the hole.

As long as that arm is there, one can leave Baiyujing in the same way.

At worst, we can just search and hide.

We found all the big shots, hid behind them, and used our arms to lead them to safety. Three days on the surface, three days at the core of the earth—don't underestimate a young man's potential. Next time, bring more people, and we'll definitely rip his hood off.

In short, find Ah Li first.

Finding Ah Li wasn't difficult, because of their relationship, Zhang Ze could vaguely sense Ah Li's location.

In addition, he has two other magical artifacts that can help him locate Ah Li.

One of them is Brother Feng's black sword.

Because the path to the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm has been opened, although Brother Feng is engrossed in it, he is also aware of what is happening in the outside world.

Upon learning that Zhang Ze was going to go into business again and was collecting magical treasures, he immediately asked someone to send him his black sword and lend it to Zhang Ze.

Although this black sword is incredibly sharp, Brother Feng actually uses it most of the time to pick locks and open boxes.

According to Brother Feng, this black sword can also be used to find people and treasures. As long as you leave the target's mark on it, you can find the target's location.

There's a slightly rusty dragon scale hanging on the blade of that black sword, which Ah Li picked off herself last month.

Besides the Black Sword, Zhang Ze's second reliance was Mao Mao.

After all, the two core technologies, "Dog's Wish-Making Technique" and "Fur-Searching Technique," are unparalleled.

With Zhang Ze's overall guidance and Black Sword and Mao Mao's fine-tuning, finding A Li was a piece of cake.

The only problem to consider is how to keep Mao Mao from running away and how to hide her whereabouts as much as possible.

Zhang Ze paid a considerable price to achieve this goal.

Because Mao Mao is very strong, it's really difficult to dress it up.

There was nothing there at that moment in the wilderness.

However, once the hidden veil is lifted, three bodysuit-clad perverts can be seen.

Zhang Ze, needless to say, is a repeat offender.

At this moment, Black Sword was tightly wrapped in a pair of matching black leggings, leaving no gaps.

Zhang Ze carried the black sword-shaped thermal underwear in one hand and used black silk as a rope in the other to lead Mao Mao.

Mao Mao and Black Sword received the same treatment; the black tight-fitting seduction perfectly outlined Mao Mao's not-so-slender figure, showcasing her noble demeanor.

After peeling it, Zhang Ze discovered that Mao Mao wasn't just hairy, it was genuinely fat, truly fat.

The stomach has already taken initial shape and has reached the level of being half a step below the glass.

Of course, this matter cannot be mentioned, because if it is, Mao Mao will use its iron-like tail to strike Zhang Ze's calf.

Besides the fur, Zhang Ze also got Fu Ji a tight-fitting outfit.

However, unlike Mao Mao's resistance, Fu Ji had a lot of fun.

She stood on Zhang Ze's head, stretching her bodysuit into all sorts of bizarre shapes, and it was unknown what indescribable things she was doing inside.

She was playing while talking to Zhang Ze.

"If someone really wanted to arrest you, you would have been discovered long ago."

"After all, you must have made quite a commotion when you came in, and you were lying on the ground for so long."

"Then why are you still wearing this bodysuit? It's completely useless."

"Who knows, someone might be following you right now," Fu Ji threatened Zhang Ze with her claws outstretched.

She had only scared him for a while, and seeing that Zhang Ze ignored her, the little rotten girl mumbled something and continued to amuse herself. However, after a while, she suddenly thought of something.

"Ha, I get it! You just like wearing this tattered bodysuit every day, right? Hahaha, that must be it."

"I'm going to tell Lily when I get back!"

"Hmph, you don't want Lily to know your secret, do you?"

"If you want me to keep this a secret, come up with 100,000 and buy my Bo Bo Chicken!"

Zhang Ze, “.”

Listening to Fu Ji's commotion, Zhang Ze approached the edge of the Gobi Desert.

As Zhang Ze got closer to A Li, his senses grew stronger. He tried to communicate with A Li, but there was no response.

Soon the group left the Gobi Desert. After walking through a wasteland covered with sand and grass and rounding a rocky mountain, a forest appeared before Zhang Ze.

The river flows past the forest, separating the rocky mountain from the forest.

On the opposite bank of the river, traces of intelligent life can be clearly seen.

Both the paths carved out of the forest and the wooden planks and stakes along the riverbank that resembled piers looked very new.

It is clearly a frequently used and maintained site, rather than an old relic.

"There really is someone there."

Zhang Ze looked up at the 'sky'.

On the continent beyond the sky, the shadows of some cities and huge buildings could be vaguely seen. At first, Zhang Ze thought they were just some kind of ruins, but now it seems that there might be people living there.

As Zhang Ze was thinking about these things, Mao Mao's tail slapped against Zhang Ze's calf, signaling him to hurry up and cross the river.

In Mao Mao's perception, A Li was in the forest on the other side of the river.

With one step, Zhang Ze arrived on the other side of the river.

However, instead of following the path into the forest, he hoisted Momo onto his shoulder and stood quietly to the side without making a sound.

He sensed that someone was coming.

Soon, a light hoofbeat rang out, and the forest dwellers left the path and appeared before Zhang Ze.

Hmm, this person looks really strange.
The person who came was a little girl, who was a cookie taller than Lily.

However, she was half-human and half-beast; her upper body was human, and her lower body was somewhat like a deer, but her four hooves were different.

Her last two toes were not completely degenerated, but were exceptionally flexible and well-developed, able to move freely like a human thumb.

The little girl, who looked like a half-deer, wore a blue robe with an animal skin ornament hanging from her waist. She carried a bucket in one hand and a small, simple crossbow in the other.

The crossbow was not cocked, but a faint light was flashing on it, clearly indicating that it was not an ordinary item.

The half-deer girl was very cautious, but caution was meaningless in the face of the black bodysuit.

She walked past Zhang Ze, glancing back every few steps, but instead of stepping onto the pier, she hesitated on the riverbank.

He looked like he really wanted to get water, but was also afraid of something.

Hesitant and caught in a dilemma, unable to move forward or backward.

Her strange hooves came in handy then, gripping the ground like off-road boots, preventing her from slipping on the wet pebbles and falling into the river.

Zhang Ze secretly watched the little girl, feeling like he had seen this scene somewhere before.

Oh, I remember.

It's an animal documentary; the zebra is drinking water, so...
Thinking of this, Zhang Ze looked into the water, where the surface rippled, as if something was indeed hidden there.

However, the half-deer girl didn't notice; she took a few stones from her waist pocket and threw them into the water.

Watching the splashing water and the stones falling to the bottom of the river, the half-deer girl mustered her courage, took a step forward, and seemed to be preparing to bend down to fetch water.

'If this were an animal documentary, this would be the time.'

Sure enough, the moment the half-deer girl put the bucket into the water, a creature made entirely of water emerged from the river.

Like some unknown jellyfish, when it extends its tentacles out of the water, something resembling a core or mouth is revealed.

It was deep red and filthy, covered with teeth, and somewhat indescribable.

But soon, something even more indescribable came.

The moment the jellyfish appeared, Mao Mao and Fu Ji ripped off their bodysuits and rushed out.

Mao Mao was afraid of water, so instead of going into the river to fight the jellyfish monster, it used a headbutt to knock the little girl away from the shore.

Fuhime, on the other hand, showed the jellyfish what the truly indescribable was.

Zhang Ze, “.”

Seeing that he had been exposed, Zhang Ze sighed, then removed his disguise and stepped out of the shadows.

He was going to check on the half-deer girl's injuries.

It would be ridiculous if you didn't get eaten by the jellyfish, but instead got killed by the hairy creatures.

Fortunately, although the little girl was only one cookie taller than Lily, her physical fitness far surpassed Lily's.

The collision did not cause her any serious injury.

Sula clutched her lower back, straightened up in a daze, and didn't know what had happened.

The golden wolf that had bumped into him was now crouching beside him, exuding a dangerous aura, but it didn't eat him; it just wagged its tail and stared at him.

In the water, a blue, malevolent creature is casting a death spiral, battling a water spirit in a bizarre and eerie scene.

And the person walking towards him from the riverbank
When Sula turned around and saw Zhang Ze's appearance, her heart suddenly paused for a moment.

Then fear crept onto her face.

"You you are"

Before Sula could finish speaking, he stretched out his four legs and fainted instantly.

Zhang Ze stopped, somewhat puzzled.

"Do I look that scary?"
