At this moment, the three of them basically had no options.
Purely in terms of physical strength, they simply couldn't compete with this group of savages, and inside their bodies, their Blood Qi was completely depleted.
As it stood now.
It seemed death was the only outcome.
The three were not sure what exactly would happen if they died in this Illusion Realm, but it was certain that nothing good would come of it.
In fact.
They were beginning to doubt whether this was actually an Illusion Realm at all.
Although no Illusion Realm should be able to strip a Grandmaster and two Tier Four Peak Martial Artists of their Blood Qi, in some special situations, they might become trapped in an illusion created by Magical Items, Sealing Objects, and Deformed Weapons.
Such occurrences are rare.
But theoretically, it's possible.
They hadn't been truly stripped of their Blood Qi, but a special Extraordinary Power was blocking their sense of it, rendering them unable to use it.
The three had been debating for a long time whether they were indeed in an Illusion Realm.
Now.
Grandmaster Long had essentially confirmed that, whether it was an Illusion Realm or not, if they really died here, it would definitely be a big problem.
They might actually lose their lives.
Or they might lose other things.
The three of them had no desire to die, but at this point, they had no options at all.
The writing on the stone pillars continued to glow.
Grandmaster Long, Jiang Han, and Wulin all felt that their end was near.
In this place where neither Blood Qi nor Extraordinary Abilities could be used, they were destined to be lambs to the slaughter.
However.
Just as the three of them were ready to die nobly and become food for these savages.
In the distance.
A Fireball the size of a washbasin shot forward.
Rumble.
The Fireball landed in the center of where the savages gathered and exploded instantly, bursting into flames, followed by cries and screams.
A group of savages quickly grabbed their weapons, looked around, and began to shout.
The three also turned towards the sound.
And saw Baiyu, clad in blood-stained animal skins, walking out from the depths of the jungle, casually casting two more Fireballs.
As he threw them.
He was muttering something.
Although they didn't catch the syllables he was chanting, they could tell it was the same word.
Bang bang.
The Fireballs fell into the crowd like bombs, and the savages were utterly defenseless, both shocked and furious, in utter chaos.
In their eyes.
Someone who could cast Fireballs like that was almost no different from a demon.
After two Fireballs, not many were killed, but the fright spread, causing panic, and many savages began to flee in terror.
Given this place was in the jungle.
The Fireballs quickly ignited the surrounding trees, and a raging fire broke out instantly.
Chaos ensued.
Jiang Han and the others exchanged glances, finding the delight and surprise in each other's eyes, as the sudden freedom took them by surprise.
Taking advantage of the chaos.
Baiyu quietly slipped into the crowd and freed the three of them, then said, "Let's get out of here first. This place is very strange, and a slight mistake could be deadly."
The three nodded.
And so.
After regrouping, the four quickly ran toward the nearby dense forest,
...
The escape went very smoothly.
The savages, busy dealing with the fire, had no energy to pursue them.
The four fled from that territory, stopping only when they reached a cave.
Now, with normal human physiques, they couldn't sustain prolonged physical activity, and had to rest after a short while of running.
The cave was a good place to rest.
"Baiyu, what on earth is going on?"
As soon as they stopped.
Jiang Han couldn't wait to ask.
The three of them couldn't use Blood Qi or Extraordinary Abilities in this place, but it seemed Baiyu was unaffected.
He could still hurl Fireballs just moments ago.
So naturally, everyone assumed he had more information and directly questioned him.
Baiyu shook his head: "We are now in an oasis, surrounded by an endless desert; the oasis is quite large, and I came here from the desert.
How did you get here?"
"I was brought here by the ogres from a cluster of buildings, which seemed like a small city-state."
"I woke up in this jungle."
"So did I…"
Except for Grandmaster Long, who was kidnapped from elsewhere, Jiang Han and Wulin woke up right in this jungle.
Baiyu asked Grandmaster Long a lot more.
He said that he hadn't even had time to enter the building complex before he was captured by the savages.
Afterward, he was knocked unconscious.
He had no idea how he ended up here.
For a Grandmaster to end up like this, it was truly quite pathetic.
Seeing that they didn't have more information, Baiyu said, "This place was created by a demon."
Although he didn't know what exactly the foresthound was as a species.
But.
Lumping anything unknown into the category of demons wouldn't be wrong.
"A demon? Could it be the one who created the Simulation Realm, making this place? But that couldn't be, as it should still be fighting Director Yao, with no time to manage these things."
Jiang Han pondered.
Such a high-level demon personally dealing with them seemed a bit unreasonable.
Although the team just now included two Grandmasters, it shouldn't have been enough to intimidate a demon of that level.
"It should be another one, but no less formidable."
Baiyu sighed: "When we entered that underground Black Stone Plaza, we had already fallen into its trap.
That was an Array.
Once trapped, it's very hard to get out.
Now we should all be in the Array, and to get out, we have to find the Array's core, the exit.
This demon.
Possesses Divine Power, which is hard to contend with."
Hearing the words "Divine Power."
Everyone instantly fell silent.
Divine Power—simple words that nevertheless made it hard to breathe.
"Then the Fireball you cast earlier, what on earth was that? We can't use any Extraordinary Power here."
Jiang Han continued to ask.
This was a pressing concern for them.
Without the ability to protect themselves, everything they did would be restrained. If they could regain their strength, it would provide great peace of mind for any actions that followed, as well as for their safety.
Baiyu did not hide it: "It's a kind of Rune Technology, and I came here from a temple along the way.
Inside, there was a record of a Rune: Fireball.
So the attacks I can deliver are limited to Fireballs.
Here.
It seems only Runes can exert power."
The others nodded in agreement, then suddenly realized something felt off.
Rune Technology.
This is something for stoneseeds and shells.
Even among demons, only a rare few can use it, so why does Baiyu know how?
