128: The Collapse of the Palos World

“Then let’s go take a look! After all, we can come back anytime, can’t we?” Yi Xin said.

“Hmm… we can come back anytime…,” Clarissa nodded, “But it’s best not to go back and forth too frequently…”

“Why?” Yi Xin and Bai Mo asked curiously.

“One, going there and coming back seems to take a certain amount of time, plus the time flow rate issue, it should be quite troublesome. I’m not very clear about it, but I just have that feeling,” Clarissa shook her head and said.

“So that’s how it is! Understood… Wait a minute, time flow rate…” Bai Mo suddenly realized this problem. If he went there, would he still make it back for the exchange competition?

“It should be fine! The time flow rate in your world will probably stop!” Clarissa checked and told Bai Mo, “When we go on world-saving missions, the time flow rate in our original world will significantly decrease.

In other words, it’s to make it convenient for us to ‘save the world’.”

“I see! Then I’m relieved!” Bai Mo nodded. He needed to go to Nanhua Academy for an exchange competition, which was still five days away. That should be enough time; he just needed to be a little careful.

Bai Mo “privately” asked his system if it could help him monitor the time flow rates on both sides and remind him if it was getting close to five days in his world.

“Received.” The system replied, making Bai Mo’s face light up with joy. It seemed it was possible!

Bai Mo had no more worries, so he charged forward!

“Then let’s depart!” Clarissa said. Bai Mo and Yi Xin nodded, and then the three set off for Palos World.

Whoosh!

The three instantly vanished.

The scene before them changed, and they appeared in a new place.

“So this is Palos World?” Clarissa looked around.

“This is truly desolate…” Bai Mo looked at the dark red sky and the ruins and broken walls everywhere.

The entire world seemed to be wailing.

Hiss! Suddenly, an unknown humanoid creature attacked them.

Tiger Emperor Fist

Yi Xin punched out.

Boom!!!

The creature that attacked them was blown apart by a single punch.

“What in the world was that?” Yi Xin frowned slightly.

“How would I know? You blew it up with one punch; I didn’t even get a good look,” Bai Mo rolled his eyes and said.

“A humanoid creature, sharp fangs and claws, no skin, only muscles and blood vessels exposed. Quite a disgusting thing…” Clarissa, however, saw it clearly and calmly described the creature’s features.

“Ew~ that is pretty disgusting!” Bai Mo pouted, “But this monster is probably just a mere minion among minions… so weak.”

“Perhaps.” Clarissa nodded, “What next? Do we act together or split up?”

“Let’s act separately! It’s more convenient and faster, and aren’t we able to communicate anytime within the Cross-Realm Platform?” Yi Xin said. Everyone was here to earn source points, and acting together wouldn’t be ideal.

Especially with Clarissa’s strength being so formidable.

“Alright!” Clarissa nodded, “Then let’s split up! If anything happens, just shout in the Cross-Realm Platform anytime.”

After the Cross-Realm Platform was upgraded, it already had features like a “chat group.” One could enter physically or communicate without entering, live stream, send videos and recordings, or send pictures.

“Typing” and such could also be done with just a thought, which was very convenient.

(How great would it be if web novel authors had the ability to type with their thoughts! Wouldn’t they write thirty to fifty thousand words a day?)

Since the three were unfamiliar with this world, and it made no difference, they simply went in three different directions, splitting up to act individually.

Bai Mo moved quickly using Spirit Shift Step.

The journey was quite desolate, but occasionally he would encounter strange and disgusting creatures.

For example, the humanoid creatures that had just attacked them, or some monsters made of flesh and blood.

In short, the main characteristic of these monsters was a dark red color scheme; they were basically all disgusting and repulsive things.

At least from Bai Mo’s aesthetic perspective, that was the case.

Bai Mo entered the Shi Jie · Bing Lun Wan state.

When he encountered a monster, he would casually unleash a freezing slash.

Under the extreme cold and Bai Mo’s spiritual power damage, these monsters, though seemingly frozen, were actually completely dead. If the ice shattered, they would all crumble into dust, including the frozen monsters.

Moreover, once the spiritual power in the ice ran out, it would naturally disintegrate.

“Hmm? There seems to be some movement ahead!” Bai Mo, while running, suddenly felt a sound coming from a valley ahead.

High spiritual power meant high perception. Although people in this world didn’t possess spiritual power, Bai Mo could still sense the “presence” of others.

“It seems to be humans, right?” Bai Mo quickly ran to the edge of the cliff.

Looking down, there was a city built by humans in the valley. Or rather, it should be called a defensive fortification.

At this moment, in the city, at least over a hundred of the monsters Bai Mo had killed on his way here were rampaging.

Ordinary people screamed in terror, fleeing for their lives. Guards made up of ordinary people fought back with firearms or cold weapons.

However, the effect was minimal. Although Bai Mo could kill them with one slash, these monsters were actually very powerful.

To ordinary people, these monsters were practically impervious to blades and bullets, incredibly fast, and super strong.

Of course, although the effect was minimal, they could barely withstand the monsters’ attacks.

Moreover, Bai Mo also saw the existence of some “different” humans.

One of them, wearing heavy armor, had huge “mechanical arms.” With a single punch, a monster was directly sent flying. Judging by that strength, it weighed at least several tons, and the monster’s body was shattered, with flesh and blood splattering.

Another, with a wave of his hand, condensed flames into a sword and directly split a leaping monster in half, accompanied by a sizzling sound. Then he extended his hand, spewing terrifying flames at another monster, incinerating it.

“These abilities are quite interesting!” Bai Mo half-squatted on the cliff edge, observing the situation below. He didn’t go down to help immediately, as he was “newly arrived” and wanted to observe for a bit.

However, when Bai Mo saw some monsters breaking through the resistance and rushing towards the civilians behind, he couldn’t stand by any longer.

“Ah!!!” A mother screamed, hugging her seven or eight-year-old daughter tightly. She looked at the monster pouncing on her, her face filled with terror, and instinctively turned around to shield her daughter.

Whoosh!

An ice cone descended from the sky.

Pffft! Boom!

The ice cone went straight through the monster from top to bottom, pinning it to the ground.
