The setting sun cast its afterglow upon Mas Island, as if draping the island in a golden cloak, resplendent.
Under the setting sun, several drones circled above the island, equipped with cameras that covered almost the entire island.
However—
For the past six hours, the drones had not captured any footage of Jiang Wuming, Ye Kunlun, Ye Feng, and Yuan He.
The four had seemingly vanished into thin air on the island!
Not only that, but Zorro, along with more than twenty martial arts prodigies from various countries and regions, had conducted a carpet search of the island. They had not found the four, but instead encountered Gu Tianlong, who was alone.
At that time, Gu Tianlong was almost scared to death, wishing he could run with all his might!
If Zorro hadn't been solely focused on Jiang Wuming and the other three, and had been determined to chase and kill Gu Tianlong, Gu Tianlong would have surely died!
As the sun began to set, Zorro and his group of over twenty people arrived at the forest where coordinate 1 was located.
"Everyone spread out and search in a straight line, conducting a carpet search!"
Zorro's gaze was like a blade as he scanned the dense forest, issuing the search order once more.
In the past six hours, they had searched almost the entire island, except for the forest before them.
This was because the forest was too close to coordinate 1, and they all believed that if Jiang Wuming and the other three were hiding, they wouldn't choose this place.
At this moment, as Zorro issued the order, three words flashed through his mind: "Under the lamp, it's dark."
Often, the most dangerous place is the safest!
Jiang Wuming had skillfully played a psychological game with them.
Just like before, when Jiang Wuming had scared off Zorro and the others using a tactic similar to the "Empty Fort Strategy," it was also a psychological maneuver!
As Zorro and his group entered the forest, Jiang Wuming, Ye Kunlun, Ye Feng, and Yuan He each hid in four large trees within the forest.
Following Jiang Wuming's instructions, Ye Kunlun, Ye Feng, and Yuan He suppressed their auras, entered a meditative state, and breathed using fetal respiration.
Although they did this, they couldn't completely conceal their auras like Jiang Wuming. However, it allowed them to hide their presence to the greatest extent possible; unless someone was very close, they wouldn't be discovered.
Meanwhile, Jiang Wuming sat cross-legged on the tree trunk, his spirit entering the mysterious space, continuously absorbing the mysterious energy.
*Swish!*
Suddenly, Jiang Wuming opened his eyes, then leaped lightly, landing on the ground.
Huh?
Ye Kunlun, Ye Feng, and Yuan He sensed Jiang Wuming's actions immediately.
Although they had been meditating, they had kept a close watch on Jiang Wuming and carefully sensed everything around them.
At this moment, seeing Jiang Wuming jump down from the tree, they were all stunned: Had Jiang Wuming's injuries healed? DaFengNovel.com
"Come down, they've entered the forest, let's go meet them!"
Jiang Wuming could feel the gazes of the three on him and knew what they were thinking. He smiled and spoke.
"Wu... Brother Wuming, have your injuries really healed?"
Ye Kunlun was the first to land, staring at Jiang Wuming with a look of disbelief, as if he couldn't believe what Jiang Wuming had said earlier.
Not only him, but Ye Feng and Yuan He also looked incredulous!
They had never heard of a martial artist with internal injuries recovering without the use of medicinal herbs!
Just like them, they had both been injured by Miyamoto Tatsuhiko earlier, sustaining internal injuries of varying degrees.
After six hours, their injuries had not only not improved but had worsened due to the lack of timely treatment.
At present, they could only use moves that consumed less true qi, otherwise, their torn meridians could not withstand it!
"The internal injuries are fine, the external injury on my left shoulder is not yet healed, but it won't affect combat."
Jiang Wuming nodded.
The time ratio between the mysterious space and the real world was 10:1.
Six hours had passed in the real world, meaning Jiang Wuming had spent sixty hours in the mysterious space!
By absorbing mysterious energy for sixty hours, Jiang Wuming had not only completely healed the damage to his meridians and internal organs but also replenished the true qi, secret power, and mental energy depleted from his previous battle with Sean.
"It's truly incredible!"
Yuan He couldn't help but exclaim.
Ye Kunlun quickly nodded in agreement.
Ye Feng, however, asked another question: "How did you know we were hiding in this forest and that they wouldn't find us in a short time?"
"As the captain of Battle Dragon, you should be very familiar with the principle of 'under the lamp, it's dark.'"
Jiang Wuming said, looking at Ye Feng with some curiosity.
Ye Feng remained silent.
As Jiang Wuming had said, as the captain of the Battle Dragon special forces, he understood the concept of "under the lamp, it's dark."
However, the Battle Dragon special forces were the sharpest blade of the Dragon Country's military. Every battle they fought ended with overwhelming victory, and they had never encountered such a desperate situation as today. Naturally, they had not had the need to employ the "under the lamp, it's dark" tactic.
"Next, we should start the counter-hunt!"
Seeing Ye Feng's silence, Jiang Wuming spoke again and was the first to stride out of the forest.
Ye Kunlun, Ye Feng, and Yuan He quickly followed suit.
"I... I sense their aura! They are just ahead!!"
A moment later, a shout came from ahead, filled with excitement and joy.
Someone had sensed the auras of Ye Kunlun, Ye Feng, and Yuan He and immediately informed Zorro and the others.
*Whoosh whoosh whoosh...*
As the person's voice echoed, a series of breaking sounds filled the dense forest.
More than twenty martial arts prodigies from various countries and regions, including Zorro, all moved rapidly towards the location where Jiang Wuming and the other three were.
"This place is relatively open and suitable for combat. We'll wait here for them to walk into our trap."
At the same time, Jiang Wuming, along with Ye Kunlun, Ye Feng, and Yuan He, stopped in an open space within the forest.
This was the only open space in the forest.
"Buzz buzz buzz..."
As the four stopped, several drones whizzed over like little bees and began to hover above the open space.
"Viewers, after six hours, Jiang Wuming, Ye Kunlun, Ye Feng, and Yuan He, the four contestants from the Dragon Country, have reappeared on our live broadcast.
At the same time, Zorro and the other twenty-odd contestants have also discovered their tracks and are moving rapidly towards their location.
What do you think will happen next?"
As soon as Jiang Wuming and the other three reappeared on the Divine Network live broadcast, the host became incredibly excited, as if he had been injected with chicken blood.
"Jiang Wuming and the others are doomed!"
"Yes, they couldn't heal their injuries in the past six hours, and their wounds will only worsen. Moreover, Zorro has broken through to the Two-Star War God realm, and he's at the fourth stage of Two-Star War God—the gap in strength has become even wider!"
"If Zorro was leading the encirclement before, then from now on, it will be Zorro's solo performance—he will slaughter Jiang Wuming and the other three by himself!"
...
As the host finished speaking, viewers from outside the Dragon Country bombarded the screen with comments, expressing their opinions. Almost unanimously, they believed that Jiang Wuming and the other three were doomed.
Meanwhile, all Dragon Country viewers, including Qi Wufu, stared intently at Jiang Wuming on the screen, unable to help but ask in their hearts: Could Jiang Wuming continue his legend?
At the same time, Zorro arrived at the open space with more than twenty people, exuding an imposing aura.
The next moment.
The answer was revealed.
"Scumbags, welcome to hell!"
The young man stepped forward and slowly spoke, pronouncing sentence of death upon Zorro and the others!
...
