Chapter 897: Mysterious island

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

Within Taihu Territory, the misty lake finally disappeared as the scene in front of them became crystal clear. The frightened people on the warship also settled down. Despite this strange wind, the crowd was brought to the end of Taihu Territory. As the mist vanished, a small island appeared in front of everyone.

“This is…”

“An island?”

“There is actually an island within Taihu Territory?”

Everyone was amazed.

Phew~

The wind stopped blowing.

King of Fire suddenly discovered that he regained control of the warship and immediately halted the ship urgently. Just like that, everyone was now floating just outside of the island’s border.

The island wasn’t big. It was estimated that the warship would take less than a minute to circle around it. For everyone, it was a distance that they could travel on foot. The verdant trees were clearly visible. This was a beautiful and intoxicating island with a charming scenery. However, for it to appear in the center of Taihu Territory wasn’t right.

The endless unknown crisis made everyone dare not let down guard.

“What do we do?”

Everyone had no idea of their next step.

“Go and have a look.” Su Hao calmly said.

“I won’t go.”

“I won’t either!”

Several people shouted as if this island in front is a terrifying demon and dared not step onto it, “Why don’t we just circle around it? Perhaps doing so will let us leave.”

“Yes, yes.”

“Just circle around it. After passing this island, maybe we can leave.”

Those people said one after another.

“Circle around?” Su Hao looked at them like they are idiots, “Do you think that since that thing brought us over here, it would let us leave? To circle around this island, are you sure we can proceed like that?”

“How will you know if we don’t try?”

Those several espers clearly disagree with Su Hao’s decision.

“Then we will separate.” Su Hao didn’t mind, “I want to go onto the island. Those who are willing, follow me. As for those who wish to stay or circle around the island, please help yourself then.”

Swish!

Su Hao stepped onto the empty space and directly fell onto the island. Wan Cheng and the others didn’t hesitate to keep up. As for King of Fire and those veteran world espers, they glanced at each other before following Su Hao without hesitation. Up until this stage, no fluke would be allowed.

Soon, only four people remained on the warship.

“Hmmphh.” A world esper looked at everyone with a deep expression, “After we leave, the flame warship should come back. By then, feel free to control it.”

Swish!

Those few espers controlled and left the island with ease. The flame warship crossed in an arc and then left, and that strange wind never appeared again.

“We are able to leave like that?”

Everyone’s eyes widened in disbelief.

They thought that that strong wind would appear again? Based on the previous moments, they shouldn’t be allowed to leave since that thing brought them here. Everyone thought that the moment they left the island, they would be blown back by the strong wind, which was why they stayed here. Who knew that those few espers really left?

“I…”

“They really left.”

Several people expressed their regret.

Su Hao looked at their movement with a cold smile. With no hesitation, he only looked ahead. It seemed that this origin ability era had made too many people relying on luck. Su Hao smiled coldly. If it was this generation, the strong espers could only kill a path out of the chaos.

Just like him and Wan Cheng, this is the true cruel world!

In the past, as long as one is lucky, becoming a first-generation esper is already sufficient. This was why there were so many hidden experts with all sorts of mindsets! At that time, they were the strong ones and had no one to control them. However, now with the quick development of this era, the newer generation had been gradually catching up.

“Let’s go.”

Su Hao and Wan Cheng left immediately. A few world espers were considering whether to condense another ship and leave. Suddenly, a roar echoed from a place that was no longer visible.

Boom!

The entire lake quaked, and a terrifying wave surged into the sky. Even when Su Hao and the others were so far away, they could feel a wave sweeping past them.

Swish!

Wan Cheng responded the quickest and blocked in front of Su Hao. Having the wave force, Wan Cheng easily stopped the incoming wave with little effort.

“That location.” Su Hao looked back meaningfully and then glanced at those who were trying to leave, “It seems to be the position of those people who left earlier.”

“What?”

Everyone was surprised.

“My boundary spirit was destroyed.”

A world esper was able to sense it. His face had a great change.

“Yes, mine is gone too.”

Everyone looked at each other. They all felt the same sense of panic. If they had just followed those espers just now, perhaps they would…

“You guessed it?” King of Fire suddenly looked at Su Hao.

Su Hao sneered and didn’t admit nor deny it.

Everyone’s heart turned cold. This guy… how many times had it been?

They all claimed to have powerful strength, but in Taihu Territory, Wu Ming’s meticulous calculation had scared them time and again. Each time, when they thought that they had made the right decision, the cruel reality would give them a hard blow, proving that Wu Ming was right all along.

And each time…

It would be accompanied by the fall of world espers.

“Let’s go.”

Su Hao was as calm as always and didn’t seem to be affected. However, contrary to what one thought, he was also taken aback when Taihu Territory experienced an eruption earlier. The reason he stayed here wasn’t because he calculated it, but because he couldn’t leave here at all! If he didn’t guess incorrectly…

The third card should be located here!

Stepping onto the island land, Su Hao seemed to have felt the mysterious power that came from the mutual attraction among the mysterious cards.

Su Hao has done lots of analysis in the past.

What is the biggest change that those mysterious cards brought him?

Data?

Establishing models?

Nope!

What benefited him the most coming from the mysterious cards is the birth of life. It allowed the model he built to come into reality, and allow him to build life models. In turn, this let him attach a certain level of artificial intelligence into the model so that the entire world model was akin to a computer program in general.

The models now had their own life.

This was Su Hao’s original inference, and it was now proven right.

When the secret technique of boundary spirit appeared, when the dead world espers were reborn, Su Hao felt that same powerful force that shocked him.

The mysterious cards… life force, huh?

If this was the case, then it seemed that all the problems could now be explained!

Because of the existence of mysterious cards, the vitality here became vigorous. The existence of the mysterious card also allowed the dead to be resurrected, and with realization, the world of mirror image could be established here! The combination of the mysterious card and realization, didn’t Su Hao comprehend them both before he broke through?

The mysterious card must be here!

Su Hao walked toward the center of the island, followed by the rest.

No matter what they say about Su Hao, no matter how strong they think they are now, before leaving Taihu Territory, no one would dare to doubt Su Hao. The self-proclaimed powerful Rule Force had now turned into a joke in front of Taihu Territory, one of Nine Great Despairs. Just one mistake, and you’re knocking at death’s door.

Domain espers?

World espers?

There is no difference here!

When death comes, no one can escape. Thus, they could only follow closely behind Su Hao and use his ability to leave here alive.

Crunch~

Crunch~

Everyone stepped onto the falling leaves, leaving behind rustling footsteps.

The island was quiet and terrifying. Although it was full of vitality, there was no sound of animals at all. Fortunately, it wasn’t huge here. Everyone soon arrived at the center of the island, where there was a clear spring that flowed all the way outside and was linked to Taihu Territory!

There was obviously nothing here, but the fact that the spring water flowed here couldn’t be denied.

The faint blue light seemed to contain some mysterious power.

“What is this?”

Everyone stared at the clear spring and didn’t understand why Su Hao stared at this place, “Could it be that we can leave via here?”

“It’s gone.” Su Hao frowned.

He did sense the power of the mysterious card; it’s here! This clear spring is the place where the mysterious card is located, but now it has disappeared. Looking back at Chen Ge, both of them saw the look of something amiss in each other’s eyes. How could the mysterious card vanish?

“Could it be…” Su Hao suddenly felt shocked.

The mysterious card vanished!

Thus, it wasn’t the mysterious card that guided them here?

What was it then? Or could it be that the thing that took the mysterious card had led them here to destroy them? If this was the case, why spend all the effort to lead them to this place and still not show itself? Unless it wasn’t here now.

Why wasn’t it here then?

Su Hao showed a bitter smile and suddenly looked toward a certain direction. It was because that thing rushed out and killed those few espers who tried to leave earlier!

Perhaps now, it was coming back here?

Boom!

The island had a quake.

A roar came from afar. Like a wild beast, a terrifying aura slammed onto everyone.

“What is this?!”

“Such a powerful aura!”

“Everyone, be careful!”

Their complexion changed greatly.

“Wu Ming, what had you seen?” King of Fire looked at Su Hao, who seemed fascinated.

“I thought of a possibility.”

Su Hao’s face wasn’t looking great either. He should have found the third mysterious card by now. Never would he have thought that a mishap would happen at the last moment, and it was a scary guess. “We all know that dead ones would be resurrected. Then, are you sure everyone has already been resurrected.”

“Of course they are all resurrected!” King of Fire opened his mouth and hurriedly said, “Didn’t you see it personally? Everything from the current batch all the way till the last batch?”

“Are you sure that includes everyone?” Su Hao sighed.

“Of course it is.” King of Fire said impatiently, “Didn’t each wave match the date of those who entered Taihu Territory before? None of them were missing! Why can’t you think of a useful method… Hold on!”

King of Fire suddenly thought of something, and his face had a huge change, “Could it be?”

Boom!

Endless killing intent was approaching them.

A figure appeared out of thin air and fell directly in front of everyone.
