52: It's all Cai Xukun's fault!
Hua Chenyu wanted to curse even more right now; Cai Xukun really had no brain.
It was one thing not to find an exit here, but to be hunted by Ghost Eagles as well—if they were actually scratched, stranded in the middle of nowhere, they would just have to wait for death.
The more he thought about it, the more Hua Chenyu's anger intensified; it was all Cai Xukun's fault.
Now, they had to shake off those Ghost Eagles as soon as possible.
Wu Jing paddled for a while and didn't hear any sound from behind, so he looked at Meng Ziyi, whose face had turned deathly pale from fright.
"Ziyi, turn around and see if those birds are chasing us?"
It wasn't convenient for Wu Jing to turn around; he had to focus on paddling now. If they were caught up to, wouldn't they be sitting ducks on the boat?
After hearing this, Meng Ziyi turned her head to look, but she didn't see the figures of any Ghost Eagles behind them.
Not only were there no Ghost Eagles, but even that massive fruit tree had disappeared.
"Brother Jing, they aren't chasing us. Not only are there no Ghost Eagles, but that massive fruit tree is gone too."
The terror and tension on Meng Ziyi's face turned into a smile, and she quickly said...
"Of course not, because in front..."
Just after Meng Ziyi finished speaking, Wu Jing didn't see a smile, but rather a look of even greater terror and gravity on her face.
Meng Ziyi froze, turned to look straight ahead, and saw that the massive fruit tree from before had somehow appeared in front of them again.
Yang Mi instinctively looked at the place where the plane had originally been, and when she did...
Her eyes were filled with horror.
It was still the wreckage of that plane, still the familiar sound of friction.
Only the Ghost Eagles they had seen before had vanished.
The viewers in the Live Stream Room were stunned!
Their brains were roaring like thunder; they felt as if they...
Were going to explode!!
The familiar fruit tree! The familiar plane wreckage...
"Brother Jing, isn't this the fruit tree we saw before... and the plane wreckage?"
Zhang Dada spoke in shock. He had paid special attention to it—the tree branch that should have fallen off before hadn't fallen.
Just then—
That tree branch fell directly into the water, exactly the same as what had happened before!!
Even the number of floating fruits was exactly the same!!
"How did we come back here? And why did what just happened happen again?"
Hua Chenyu's breath hitched, his eyes filled with shock and surprise...
How could this be?
Why would the things that just happened occur again? They had gone to the right. Even if they couldn't find the correct exit, they shouldn't be seeing these big trees appear in front of them.
It wasn't just them who were dumbfounded.
The viewers in the Live Stream Room were stunned!
【No way! What is going on? Am I seeing ghosts or something?】
【I remember Ye Bai and Brother Jing and the others paddling to the right; that tree should be behind them, not in front? How is it in front again? And that tree branch... it seems like everything they experienced before is happening again.】
【Holy crap! Can this tree teleport?】
【Are they lost? Could it be that this isn't the same tree we saw before?】
【No way, I just saw the packaging from the food Zhang Dada ate earlier still there.】
【Do you think they encountered a ghost wall? Otherwise, why can't they get out? Why are they just going in circles in the same place?】
【Maybe it's an illusion. Why not try taking a different path this time?】
The fans were still looking bewildered at this moment.
But they had different thoughts in their hearts; perhaps what science couldn't explain, metaphysics could!!
It was mainly because this situation was too bizarre; science couldn't explain it!!
All these signs indicated that wasn't this just a ghost wall?
Then it was over! Something big was going to happen now!!
Meanwhile—
Inside the Archaeology Academy, Professor Wang had gathered all his students in the conference room to watch Ye Bai's live stream.
Ye Bai was someone who knew Corpse Language...
That was the legendary Corpse Language. Anyone who knew this was of the utmost importance, so he had sent people to contact the production team to investigate Ye Bai's identity.
As for them, they had to pass on this Corpse Language to his students to see.
This ability was the most important thing; it wasn't just for them, but a very important skill for the entire archaeological community.
If Ye Bai could join the Archaeology Academy, they would be able to obtain more information from Ancient Corpses. For their Archaeology Academy, that would be the most exciting news for the entire institution.
Now they were all staring at the screen in the live stream.
When Professor Wang saw that Ye Bai and the others were stuck in a dead loop, his eyes widened in shock, and he suddenly shouted.
"A spatial loop?"
"Not good! This is bad!"
As Professor Wang's shout faded, the students looked on with expressions of confusion.
"Professor, what did you say? A spatial loop?"
Professor Wang withdrew his gaze, his eyes filled with deep worry. "A spatial loop is similar to a ghost wall. It is a phenomenon where one is trapped by space; it traps people, making them go around in circles. Of course, this situation isn't as simple as what you see."
"A spatial loop is a space cut off from the outside world. The outside and this space are disconnected. People inside can only emit sounds, but cannot be seen."
"Moreover, inside the space, they will infinitely loop the events they just experienced. In a little while, they will see those Ghost Eagles appear."
"Even if Cai Xukun didn't crash into the plane this time, those Ghost Eagles would still appear!"
"We have encountered this phenomenon before, but we have never had the chance to decipher it. Wouldn't you say this is very bizarre?"
As Professor Wang's words finished, the students were shocked and gasped.
In an isolated space, where the outside world could only hear but not see, and having to repeat the life they had just lived—how desperate must that be?
This was too terrifying, too bizarre!
Looking at the students, Professor Wang stopped there and did not reveal his past experience of taking students into a Tomb.
Years ago, when he took students into a Tomb, they had just passed through a Passage when they encountered a spatial loop. He watched helplessly as his own students disappeared before his eyes.
He tried to search for those two students, hearing them panic and call out "Professor Wang," "Teacher Wang" over and over again.
But he could only hear their voices and could not find their figures. How much he suffered at that time—only he could understand that feeling.
He searched for a month but never found those two students, only hearing them call his name until they were weak at the very end.
He regained his focus and stared at the screen. He felt a deep sense of dread toward this thing; inside, besides nervousness, there was also a sense of collapse.
They had finally found someone who knew Corpse Language, yet they encountered a spatial loop. Didn't that just mean they were waiting to be trapped to death here?
Arghhhh!!!
It was so frustrating, so anxious!!
Just then—
The phone placed on the side rang.
