Chapter 345: The Bewildered Pioneer_2


He could only watch as the [Pioneer] gave him an eerie smile before disappearing from the spot.

Thump thump thump—

The chaotic sound of running footsteps followed as the Awakened from the branch hurried to the scene.

It took everyone less than a minute or two to get there after hearing the noise, which was fast by any organizational standard.

However, what they saw was still only Bai Qi standing alone in the open space, frowning and lost in thought, leaving the supervisor a little puzzled as he stepped forward to inquire, "General Bai, what… happened here?"

"Intruder, with a Hundred Treasures Pouch at his waist, can summon various treasures, his presence also has the power to unsettle the mind, and he has seized my weaponry. His methods are so elusive, they are impossible to guard against!" Bai Qi said with some regret.

He truly did not anticipate the [Pioneer's] repertoire of techniques to be so extensive; whether it was the shield's blocking or the jade bracelet that allowed passage through walls, or the bottle that sealed objects and the chip used for teleportation, all caught him off guard.

After all, whether it was in the Space of Apang Palace or helping the authorities afterward, it was all about exorcising the Fierce Ghosts.

And the abilities of Fierce Ghosts have always been limited, essentially never encountering someone who could utilize multiple abilities, which made Bai Qi think of another person.

"This thief bears a striking resemblance to Mr. Wu Liang, with unpredictable and sinister methods."

Upon hearing Bai Qi's words, the branch supervisor's face changed drastically.

Though he had never met the [Pioneer] in person, these descriptions matched perfectly with the evil organization leader that Director Long had insisted all official personnel remember!

Especially that so-called Hundred Treasures Pouch, isn't it just capable of performing numerous Supernatural Objects?

Currently, besides the official line, the only organization capable of wielding a large number of Supernatural Objects is the [Promised Land], which was almost wiped out!

"Quick! Quickly send a message to the Capital City! Notify Director Long! The [Pioneer] has appeared again!"

While composing the report, the supervisor also cautioned the Awakened under him not to enter the archives.

To prevent the [Pioneer] from leaving any traps there, given he possesses too many Supernatural Objects, no one knows their effects.

......

"Bronze material, aura neither human nor ghostly, where on earth did this thing come from?"

After using the [Unlimited Transmission Chip] to leave, the [Pioneer] took out the bronze halberd from the glass bottle for a closer examination, then took a strange pure white moth from the pouch.

He gently placed the moth on the bronze halberd, and it began to lick its surface continuously.

Moments later, the impossibly hard weapon had bits of bronze being licked off by the moth, which were eventually swallowed down.

Soon, the moth's pure white body gradually displayed dark green patterns like bronze.

The next second, it slowly took off from the bronze halberd, flying into the air.

Turning its head eastward, it charged out with a speed that stirred up a lot of dust from the ground.

That direction just so happened to be where the Terracotta Warriors Museum was located.

The [Pioneer] saw this and grinned.

This moth's sole function is to find the original location where something first appeared in the world, and upon arrival, it will emit a large amount of moth dust which can manifest intricate illusions.

And the content of the illusion pertains to events that occurred at that original location.

He wanted to see who exactly those 50,000 Qin Soldiers and the five special City-Destroying Level Generals of Great Qin recorded in the official files truly were!

These things could not possibly be ghostly creations naturally born from the Supernatural massacre!

If the plan to attract City-Destruction Level Fierce Ghosts ran into issues, then attempting to suppress and seal these City-Destroying Level Generals of Great Qin, and trying to graft [Ganlin Rain and Dew] onto them wouldn't be a bad idea!

The moth was darting at a speed akin to an airplane.

The [Pioneer] followed it for about three hours before seeing it gradually slow its flight.

This also indicated it was about to reach its destination.

It then stopped in front of a dilapidated museum, starting to scatter moth dust.

The [Pioneer] saw this and also conveniently took a bag of viscous blood from the pouch, sprinkling it onto the moth.

This is the price that must be paid, roughly 500 milliliters of blood.

After all, it is still a Supernatural Object.

If the moth isn't immediately soaked in blood, the moth dust it scatters will turn into a deadly poison, which will also attack the user until the user is completely killed.

Woosh—woosh—

After paying the price, large amounts of moth dust began to produce illusions.

The first thing in the illusion was something that made [Pioneer]'s mouth twitch.

That was Wu Liang and Director Long standing in front of the Terracotta Warriors Museum, watching as Bai Qi effortlessly destroyed a group of City-Destroying Level Fierce Ghosts with the bronze halberd.

Their subsequent conversation was also heard and silently recorded by the [Pioneer].

"Great Qin? Could Emperor Shi also be among them?"

The [Pioneer], following the illusion, gradually approached the Terracotta Warriors Museum, looking at the dusty, ancient-looking door as he slowly reached out his hands.

A strange nervousness welled up in his heart.

Whether as a former disciple of Wu Xiaoyao studying history with certain reverence for the legendary First Emperor,

or as someone possessing the entirety of memories of the Old World, almost able to lay bare the second supernatural massacre, yet holds hesitation when faced with the unknown.

He left his hands on the door for nearly a minute before finally, after a deep breath, he pushed it open.

Creak—

The door opened with a teeth-gritting noise, revealing the ruined Terracotta Warrior Pit behind, and the Terracotta Warriors within, trampled to mere piles of stone fragments.

"Hmm? Where did they go?"

[Pioneer] frowned, genuinely unable to understand why it appeared this way?

He glanced up at the [Illusion Memory Moth] still fluttering in the sky, which was scattering moth dust onto the ground in confusion, yet no illusion appeared.

The moth dust gleamed like golden carpet, but what was the point of that?

[Pioneer] also frowned, sensing he had encountered such a scenario before.

That seemed to be on the Heavenly Mountain Range when he acquired the [Illusion Memory Moth] and used it to investigate Yao Qingxue.

At that time, the moth lingered atop Bogda Peak, endlessly dropping moth dust underground, yet manifesting no illusion.

"Interesting, so that means after Wu Liang followed these Generals of Great Qin into the Terracotta Warriors Museum, the place they reached wasn't where I am, but a unique space?" The [Pioneer] finally concluded.

But for this result, he had no means to pursue the origins of the Great Qin Army any further.

After all, he possessed nothing capable of breaching an independently existing space.

Otherwise, he would have long since taken care of Yao Qingxue at the Heavenly Mountain Range back then.

As the [Pioneer] struggled to figure it out, the moth in the sky began moving again.

It slowly flew out of the door and with the falling moth dust, the illusion began to appear!

"Ha ha, Wu Liang, that kid really had me too wound up; I actually forgot they would come out." [Pioneer] laughed self-deprecatingly.

Even though the situation inside the independent space couldn't be known, what Wu Liang and the others did after coming out could be understood!

Then followed scenes of the Great Qin Army attacking, crossing through the space portal opened by Director Long, heading to the Capital City.

At this moment, [Pioneer] squinted his eyes and carefully observed Director Long, feeling that this official leader's aura seemed to have changed after entering and exiting the museum.

It became somewhat... strange?

The Fierce Ghost within him seemed to want to pounce on the opponent, but the next moment his gaze turned to Wu Liang's pocket.

Just as the moth dust was about to run out.

He saw him take out an elixir with a silver-white shimmering pattern...
