"Oh no, it's a sinkhole! I never expected it to appear at this time."

The Thousand-Faced Fox's expression also turned serious, even turning pale.

Sinkholes are a mysterious phenomenon that has frequently appeared around the world in recent years. Huge sinkholes appear without warning, swallowing everything on the ground, and the swallowed areas seem to disappear from the real world, leaving no trace.

All that remained were bottomless pits.

When the sinkhole first appeared, various countries dispatched large numbers of people to explore it, but they never found any results. Ultimately, they could only try to seal off the area outside the sinkhole, treating it as an unavoidable anomaly.

In the underworld, there are various speculations about the sinkhole. Some people, relying on their strength to be stronger than ordinary people, forcefully go down to explore, but still find nothing.

The existence of sinkholes has undoubtedly become a taboo.

The hotel shook more and more violently, and the chandeliers on the ceiling fell one after another. Ji Tianhao and Qianmianhu exchanged a glance, temporarily setting aside their concerns, and rushed towards the door.

Chaos reigned in the corridor, with a large number of guests running and screaming in panic.

Ji Tianhao and Qianmianhu ran against the flow of people towards the emergency exit. However, when they pushed open the door to the emergency exit, they found that the stairwell had been twisted and deformed, and the original steps had turned into floating fragments.

"How is this possible?" Thousand-Faced Fox's eyes widened.

Ji Tianhao took a deep breath: "No matter what, let's get out of here first. We can't go down the stairs; if we step in, who knows if we'll be torn to pieces by the debris."

He immediately turned around to find another way.

"not good!!"

Suddenly, the entire hotel began to plummet. Ji Tianhao and Thousand-Faced Fox were pulled by the powerful gravity and fell involuntarily. In that moment of weightlessness, the scene outside the window completely overturned Ji Tianhao's understanding. It was not the familiar city night view, but a mysterious world full of strange creatures and endless ruins, as if he had entered some mysterious tunnel and seen countless unbelievable scenes.

Sword immortals wield thousands of sword lights, battling terrifying behemoths and shedding blood in the void.

Some martial artists possessed a fierce and powerful aura, fighting monsters and shedding blood in battle, fighting to the death without retreating, leaving no trace of their bodies.

A true dragon rides the wind and rain, battling sea monsters in the flood.

I saw the Titans roaring in the mountains and fields, and all sorts of powerful life forms fighting each other.

A vast army was arrayed, locked in a bloody battle against the desolate sky. Some beat drums, their sound like thunder; others waved long banners, as countless vengeful spirits blotted out the sun.

Those images, as I fell, came into view through the window, like traces of time and imprints of space and time.

Then, Ji Tianhao felt everything go black before his eyes, and under a mysterious force, he completely lost consciousness.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

Ji Tianhao gradually regained consciousness. The next second, he instinctively rolled over and sat up, assuming a defensive posture, still gripping the Desert Eagle in his hand. He glanced around. In his haste, he had returned to the room he had originally booked. The room was somewhat messy, but fortunately, it was mostly intact.

It's clear that no one has been here before.

"Where are we?"

The Thousand-Faced Fox's voice was filled with fear and shock.

The sight of falling into that sinkhole was incredibly impactful. It evoked a profound sense of dread, a feeling of being completely out of control of one's own life.

"I don't know. It's all thick fog outside. We can't even tell if it's day or night. We fell into the sinkhole and didn't die. I feel like we've encountered a mysterious event. We don't even know where we are now."

Ji Tianhao shook his head and looked out the window. Outside, everything was hazy and shrouded in mist.

"What bad luck! I only wanted to come and see the Kunlun Jade Plate, but you led me into this mess. Where can I even complain to you?"

The Thousand-Faced Fox gave a bitter laugh.

All she wanted to see what the Kunlun Jade Plate looked like was, how did she end up falling into this trap?

Ji Tianhao didn't answer. He gripped the jade plate tightly, countless questions surging in his mind. What exactly was this mysterious world?
What exactly is the sinkhole incident, and where did they fall into?

"No matter what happens, we have no room to resist and can only passively accept it. Since that's the case, why don't we join forces? The Kunlun Jade Plate is no longer important in the face of life and death."

Ji Tianhao made the suggestion.

I've had several dealings with Thousand-Faced Fox. Regardless of whether they were good or bad, at least in this situation where he suddenly appears in an unknown place, he's a decent partner to join forces with.

The Thousand-Faced Fox paused for a moment, then stood up and dusted himself off. "It seems we'll have to cooperate for now, Master Bounty Hunter Ji. But let me make this clear: I'm still very interested to see what's inside the Kunlun Jade Plate when we get back to the real world."

"If you want it, I can let you study it later, there's no problem with that."

Ji Tianhao made a promise.

"Then I'm serious, it's settled then."

The Thousand-Faced Fox chuckled and said, "I need to go back to my room first. I'm staying next door to you; some things are still there." "Okay, if anything happens, send a signal immediately. I have a feeling there's something wrong with the thick fog outside; it's not safe."

Ji Tianhao nodded and did not stop him. At this moment, he also wanted some private space to sort things out.

As the door closed, he was once again alone in the room. He didn't immediately tidy up the mess, but instead looked at his left wrist. There, he saw a wristwatch design—or rather, a mark, a tattoo—engraved on his wrist, lifelike and vivid.

"Huh, what is this? I definitely didn't have this kind of tattoo or birthmark before."

Ji Tianhao was immediately surprised. He was absolutely certain that he had never had such a mark on his body before.

Just as his gaze fell upon the pattern on the wristwatch, a mysterious message naturally appeared in his mind, as if it were a supreme power that made him aware of its message.

"The Guixu Watch, a gift from Guixu, can detect all your information in real time. It is a gift from Guixu and a symbol of your Guixu identity. It is a treasure that accompanies you throughout your life, a magical artifact that can continuously grow. How many functions it has and what level it can reach can only be cultivated by itself. The initial watch only has the ability to monitor its own data and has no other functions."

The appearance of this message surprised Ji Tianhao.

"The Guixu Watch, Guixu? What exactly is going on? Could it be that after falling into the sinkhole, what I fell into is this so-called Guixu?"

Ji Tianhao murmured to himself.

The term "Gui Xu" (归墟) has a bad connotation no matter how you look at it.

No matter the time, "Guixu" (归墟) doesn't seem to have a good meaning, and it's not a good thing to name a place after Guixu.

Unfortunately, the message only informed the Guixu Watch that they were currently in the Guixu Land, without any other information, leaving them with a sense of the unknown and bewilderment.

"What's certain is that we're no longer on that little broken planet, but have truly arrived at some mysterious place. To be able to have the watch directly engraved on one's body is an irresistible power; this world must belong to the extraordinary."

Various thoughts naturally arose in Ji Tianhao's mind.

Then, he turned his attention to the wristwatch.

brush! !

A black light flashed naturally across the black watch's brand. As the light flickered, Ji Tianhao instinctively felt a peculiar tingling sensation throughout his body. Then, the watch, which had been perfectly normal, seemed to be perfectly activated.

At the same time, Ji Tianhao felt that he and the watch had become perfectly integrated.

A wristwatch is like a part of one's own body.

How to use it and what its effects are are all very clear.

It is a companion artifact that accompanies one throughout one's life. They all start out the same, but will change differently in the future due to cultivation. According to the information obtained from the watch, the Guixu Watch has almost unlimited potential. This is a gift from the will of Guixu, or rather, this is the mark that Guixu leaves on every life that enters Guixu.

"This is the attribute panel. Does the data behind this skill mean that once you have a certificate, you have permanent proof, and that you will reap the rewards from cultivation?"

Witnessing this, a thought instantly flashed through Ji Tianhao's mind, and he couldn't help but feel excited. His heart was pounding. Even as a bounty hunter, he was no stranger to online novels and the like, even as a young man.

Thinking about these things, I also became excited.

Without any restraint, in the spacious area of ​​the room, he raised his hand and assumed a Tai Chi stance, beginning to practice Tai Chi. The Tai Chi he learned was the real deal; he had accepted a mission from the Black Network, and the other party offered him a Tai Chi manual as payment. The style of the fist combined softness and strength, and when used in combat, it was both hard and soft, not the kind of health-preserving Tai Chi that old men and women practice in the park. It was a real national martial art that could be used in actual combat.

The coiling silk force and the blocking and striking techniques are symbols of the circulation of energy and the transformation between hardness and softness.

Before they knew it, they had finished a set of boxing techniques.

I looked at the attribute panel displayed on the watch again.

Tai Chi [Proficient 3/100]

"No change, no hard work can make up for lack of talent, no proof that is permanent. This is just a panel that displays one's own attribute status, allowing people to see their own abilities more intuitively."

After examining the document, Ji Tianhao's burning desire subsided somewhat.

Although somewhat disappointed, I know this isn't a game, and I can't expect too much. Having a panel to visually display my status is already a miracle that countless people dream of. Many people give up halfway through certain things because they can't see the rewards or the future. It's like practicing martial arts; you might practice for a month, a year, or even several years, but you have no idea what level or skill you've achieved.
