Monster Hunter, start with a wife!

Huangfu Bai did not answer the question directly.

But he countered by asking Cheng Zhuo:

"Do you know what happened here?"

Cheng Zhuo looked around, his gaze sweeping over the several dust-covered hunter corpses not far away, and asked suspiciously:

"Your teammate died again?"

"..."

Huangfu Bai's lips twitched, and the veins on his fair forehead bulged.

He gritted his teeth and said:

"Damn it! Didn't you notice that the environments on these two sides are completely different!?"

"You found it? What's the problem?" Cheng Zhuo asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Isn't it normal for a place like the Ruins Realm to have strange and unusual environments?"

Huangfu Bai gave Cheng Zhuo a subtle glare, then patiently explained:

"Even the Void Realm must abide by the laws of the world. Don't you think these two sides are like two completely different worlds merging?"

Cheng Zhuo certainly noticed this.

The environment on both sides of the valley is extremely fragmented.

On one side is a dense rainforest, and on the other side is a lifeless, arid wasteland.

That would be fine, but the key point is that the sky is completely different.

On the rainforest side, leaden-gray clouds hung low, as if a downpour would strike at any moment.

But on the other side of the wasteland, the sky was a deep, dark red, as if it had been stained with blood, and the wind was filled with a dry, scorching heat.

It's like someone took a ruler,

A straight dividing line was drawn between the sky and the earth.

But the Void Realm has always been strange, and he thought these were all normal phenomena in the Void Realm.

"What I'm looking for is called a Boundary Stone, a product of the merging of the Void Realms." Huangfu Bai stared at the strange dividing line in the sky, a hint of excitement appearing in his bright peach blossom eyes:

"I feel that if there is a way to integrate the boundary stone into the mimicry armor, it might solve the problem of the mecha being interfered with by various force fields, and even ignore the rules of the boundary gate, allowing it to enter and exit at will."

Cheng Zhuo's pupils suddenly contracted:

"You mean... third or fourth-tier source energy devices can freely enter low-level void realms?"

"That's right!" Huangfu Bai proudly raised his chin.

"If this succeeds, hunters with only a little bit of source energy foundation will be able to pilot all kinds of heavy weapons into the Void Realm, and the threat of the lower-level Void Realm to humanity will be negligible!"

After a moment's thought, Cheng Zhuo couldn't help but pour cold water on the idea:

"Are you sure... that thing called Boundary Stone can be mass-produced?"

"Well……"

Huangfu Bai's throat tightened, and his tone noticeably weakened:

"Well, well... that's a later question."

He waved his hand dismissively and said:

"Never mind anything else, I'll deal with the shielding force field problem first. The collapse of the Void Realm has already begun; they must have already collected the Boundary Stones!"

"The Void Realm has collapsed?" Cheng Zhuo frowned, a look of confusion on his face.

"And what is that?"

Huangfu Bai seemed to have heard something unbelievable, raising an eyebrow and looking Cheng Zhuo up and down, his eyes like he was looking at an illiterate person:

"What were you doing when you were in school? Isn't this all basic knowledge of the Void Realm?"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Zhuo immediately became somewhat agitated:

"I'm first in the class, okay?! Not knowing only proves it's not in the textbook!"

"Tsk..."

Huangfu Bai clicked his tongue, his expression strange, but he still brought up a holographic video.

In the scene, the original water-wall-like sky barrier gradually dissipates, and various eerie vortexes appear in the sky.

He pointed to the image and explained:

"The collapse of the Void Realm refers to the disappearance of the Void Realm barriers in different dimensions, which triggers a series of chain reactions. Some Void Realms will appear completely new, some will be annihilated, and some may even break through and trigger a beast tide."

"There's such a saying?" Cheng Zhuo was slightly taken aback.

The Star Iron City textbook is missing a lot of things...

He had never seen a similar claim in the unofficial histories of the Void Realm he read online.

Seemingly noticing Cheng Zhuo's confusion, Huangfu Bai casually said:

"Perhaps it's a deliberate cover-up by you small towns. After all, your city defense capabilities are quite average. The collapse of the Ruins can be caused artificially, and those higher-ups may be trying to avoid this situation from happening as much as possible."

"It can even be artificially created?" Cheng Zhuo was even more astonished:

"What kind of power must that be?"

"It's not as difficult as you think." Huangfu Bai's eyes gleamed with shrewdness.

"The main problem is that there are many restrictions; it can't be accomplished by just one or two people, and it could even result in deaths."

"So... you're saying 'they' collected the boundary stones?" Cheng Zhuo's expression turned serious.

"Who are they? Are you trying to lead me to steal something from someone?"

"Of course it's not robbery."

Huangfu Bai shook his head. "We're just borrowing a little. Boundary stones aren't particularly important to them. Those people just use boundary stones as a kind of medium."

Huangfu Bai spoke casually, but Cheng Zhuo was wary.

After all, this guy...

The death rate of my teammates seems to be very high.

Cheng Zhuo glanced at the corpses not far away with a pitying look in his eyes, then stepped closer.

"Hey, what are you doing now?"

Huangfu Bai looked at Cheng Zhuo, who was touching the corpse, with some confusion.

Cheng Zhuo casually stuffed a bunch of cards and source cores into his backpack, and only stood up after confirming that there was nothing of value there:

"I just don't want their hard-earned wealth to be wasted."

"you……"

Huangfu Bai lost control of his expression again, looking at Cheng Zhuo with astonishment:

"I've already given you a billion, and you're still picking up the trash of a dead man?"

"A super-rich person like you would never understand the joy of looting someone's bag."

Cheng Zhuo shook his head and sighed softly, then called out:

"What are you waiting for? Come on, let's go find your boundary stone."

Huangfu Bai reluctantly put away his Gravity Body, his face full of disdain, as if he didn't want to associate with Cheng Zhuo but had no choice but to grit his teeth and endure it.

Cheng Zhuo didn't care about his attitude.

They gave him a billion, promised to upgrade his gravity body, and most importantly, might even help him awaken a second time.

Who cares about his attitude?

"Hey, you two up ahead, there's trouble here. Get out of here and find a portal!"

Suddenly, a loud roar came from above the valley.

Cheng Zhuo looked in the direction of the sound.

Six people were standing on the other side of the valley.

The uniform dark black combat suits, with silver stripes on the shoulders and arms, made them easily identifiable as the Hunting Ruins Army.

He and Huangfu Bai exchanged a glance. Without saying a word, they both saw the tacit understanding in each other's eyes that they should "retreat first." They agreed and turned to walk into the forest.

After a moment, and after confirming that no one was around,

Cheng Zhuocai then asked:

"What are you planning to do? It seems the Hunting Ruins Army has intervened, and those people aren't easy to talk to. How about you use your financial resources again?"

Huangfu Bai was slightly taken aback. "What do you mean?"

Cheng Zhuo rubbed his hands together:

"Since it's not anything particularly important, you can just pay them to buy a few."

Huangfu Bai immediately shook his head and said:

"The Shadow Society members don't sell things easily."

"Huh? Wait a minute..."

Cheng Zhuo quickly raised his hand to interrupt, looking at Huangfu Bai with suspicion:

"Why are you dragging those Shadow Society cult thugs into this?"
