Chapter 1581: Calculation and Wind Arriving

Gray Realm.

When Chen Ling's consciousness returned, three figures had already appeared beside him.

Wu Tongyuan looked at the desolate otherworld around him, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes...

"This place... doesn't look that special? There's sky, ground, and air. I thought an otherworld would be the kind filled with strange plants, or a place where you'd need specific equipment to breathe and walk."

"Now it seems, it doesn't look much different from Earth, just more desolate..."

Qi Muyun, standing nearby, seemed to realize something and gave him a subtle look: "Why don't you look down at yourself?"

Wu Tongyuan looked down and was completely stunned:

"No way... why have we turned black and white?!"

The three of them had now discovered that their colors had been stripped away. When they found that Chen Ling still retained his color, the surprise in their eyes grew even more intense:

"Director Chen, why do you still have red on you?"

"I'm a bit special."

Chen Ling didn't have time to explain in detail to the three of them right now, his gaze fixed on the messy land around them.

"Now is not the time for this; we should go save Ji Xuan."

"But where is he now?" Wu Tongyuan asked.

"We all arrived here after putting on the hat, which means the hat is a fixed-point teleportation," Wen Ruoshui said thoughtfully. "So, he should be nearby..."

"That's right," Chen Ling pointed to the messy disaster footprints on the ground. "But these disaster footprints are all fresh. If nothing goes wrong, he should have been attacked by a group of disasters as soon as he landed..."

Everyone became nervous. You have to know that Ji Xuan had only just acquired his power; if he encountered an attack, his chances of survival were extremely slim.

"However, what is certain for now is that he is still alive."

The moment Chen Ling entered the Gray Realm, he had sensed Ji Xuan with the Thought Storm. His thoughts were still there, meaning at least his brain function was still operating... Chen Ling had also entered his thoughts.

Chen Ling saw that Ji Xuan was covered in wounds, running狼狈 (wretchedly) across the desolate earth. The ground beneath his feet was shaking crazily, and smoke and dust were rolling behind him, as if a large number of massive creatures were chasing him. However, Ji Xuan's mental state at the time seemed to be on the verge of fainting, with only the thought of running forward frantically remaining in his bloodshot eyes.

Chen Ling could intervene in others' thoughts, but when someone had already given up thinking and only primitive instincts remained, his influence on their thoughts would weaken rapidly... to the point where he tried hard to call out to Ji Xuan, but the other party didn't hear him.

And looking at Ji Xuan's desperate, directionless running, he probably didn't even know where he had run to himself.

"The footprints here are too messy; how are we supposed to find him?"

Qi Muyun looked at the uneven ground beneath his feet. Except for an occasional footprint or two from Ji Xuan, it was filled with pits and bumps as if trampled by dinosaurs. Moreover, it looked like more than one type of disaster had come, and they had all dispersed in different directions... If they tried each direction one by one, Ji Xuan's funeral would probably be over by the time they found him.

Just then, Wu Tongyuan suddenly spoke:

"Give me a moment."

Wu Tongyuan closed his eyes, and after opening them again, a mysterious faint light began to flicker in his eyes... In his field of vision, every footprint on the ground was quantified as data, and based on their size, force points, and direction, he began to calculate continuously.

Even if there were only a few effective footprints left by Ji Xuan, as long as he could analyze the movement lines of the other disasters that had chased him and combine them with Ji Xuan's movement line to build a model, he could roughly infer which group of disasters had chased Ji Xuan.

The usually unreliable Wu Tongyuan seemed to have turned into a human computer at this moment. His messy hair danced in the wind, and his gaze seemed to encompass all things.

This was the first time everyone had seen Wu Tongyuan looking serious.

Chen Ling just watched him quietly. At this moment, Wu Tongyuan seemed to have some shadows of the future Lord Lingxu...

While Wu Tongyuan was busy, Wen Ruoshui, standing nearby, wasn't idle either.

He slowly squatted down, pressed his palm to the ground, and an invisible aura spread outward with him as the center, extending extremely far in an instant... No one knew what he was doing, but after about a dozen seconds, he slowly stood up, a hint of exhaustion flashing across his face.

"I've got it!" Wu Tongyuan suddenly spoke.

"There have been three groups of creatures here in total. The first group was a group of creatures with relatively light weight but extremely dense footprints; the second group was a group of large creatures with massive bodies and heavy footprints; the third group seems to be the same as the second, the same type of creatures..."

"From Ji Xuan's movement line, he landed after the first group passed, and then attracted the chase of the second group... It wasn't until after the second group chased him away that the third group passed by. Because the second and third groups were too similar, the footprints looked chaotic and messy..."

"In short, the direction Ji Xuan was chased away in should be there!"

Wu Tongyuan pointed firmly in one direction.

Chen Ling didn't expect that Wu Tongyuan had actually calculated the movement trajectories of the three groups of disasters in such a short time... This guy was simply a human supercomputer!

However, Chen Ling didn't have time to marvel at Wu Tongyuan's ability. After Wu Tongyuan pointed out the direction, they immediately set off and ran in that direction!

However, neither Wu Tongyuan nor Wen Ruoshui possessed the ability to move quickly; they could only run on their two legs like ordinary people, and after running for a few minutes, they were already a bit exhausted.

Qi Muyun, standing nearby, couldn't bear to watch anymore and pointed his hand toward the sky:

"Wind, come!"

A hurricane from nowhere swirled directly around the three of them, making their speed much faster... With every step they took, they could be lifted up and sway forward for more than ten meters, saving effort and increasing speed.

Wu Tongyuan seemed very pleasantly surprised by this ability. He felt the hurricane supporting his body and curiously shook his limbs, like a child who had never seen the world.

Of course, even with the hurricane's boost, the speed of these three was still much slower than Chen Ling's. But Chen Ling couldn't just leave them behind. After all, this was the Gray Realm in its most primitive state, filled with disasters everywhere. To be safe, he slowed down and moved forward with the three of them.

Just as Chen Ling expected, they had only moved for seven or eight minutes when they encountered two groups of disasters.

However, with Chen Ling's current strength, he didn't even need to make a move. He just glared at them fiercely and released a trace of the World-Ending Aura, and those disasters were scared out of their wits and fled in panic.
