Chapter 626: Chapter 340: Version Preview and Meeting the Sword Immortal—Why Not Pay Your Respects?

"Spaceship?"

Yiye Fuyun was slightly surprised and couldn’t help but take a closer look.

From the glow streaking across the sky, one could vaguely see the shape of a spaceship within the flames, and as the fiery streak drew closer, the outline of the spaceship became clearer.

It was a ship over sixty meters long with three pairs of fixed wings. However, it seemed to have been attacked by something; there was a large hole in the ship, it had lost power, and was now falling freely.

"A spaceship I haven’t seen before appearing here, could it be a random event?"

Yiye Fuyun’s eyes lit up as he looked at the spaceship, which was completely different from the existing Flying Transport Vehicles and Sky Giant Ships.

The game contained many random events, and the occurrence of a random event often meant a significant bounty.

"Quick! Let’s catch up; we can’t let others beat us to it!"

Yiye Fuyun immediately issued an order to the remaining dozens in the group, heading straight toward the direction where the spaceship was falling.

...

Restricted Area, by a river with lush green mountains.

Bang!

The fiery light collided with the ground, blasting a crater over two hundred meters in diameter in the earth, nearly as hard as C-level alloy, and leveling a small hill several dozen meters high.

"The loss this time is too huge; the Dawn is completely damaged. The president will definitely make me write reports for half a year," the middle-aged man, standing at two meters thirty-four in height and wearing a white captain’s outfit, shouted with an indescribable expression, looking at the ship still burning and completely disintegrated.

"Captain, you should be grateful that it’s just the Dawn that was scrapped and no one onboard is severely injured. Otherwise, the president would make you do much more than write reports." A delicate beauty with short black hair, likewise dressed in white, gave the man a stern glance. "And shouldn’t you be more concerned about our current predicament?"

The refined short-haired beauty’s words garnered nods of agreement from the dozen crew members who had disembarked from the Dawn.

Though the Dawn was precious, their current situation was evidently not good. If they didn’t quickly find safety and drew the attention of ground anomalies, their survival chances would be slim.

"We truly should report back to the president about what happened as soon as possible." The middle-aged man nodded seriously after a moment of grief. "Does anyone know where we are exactly?"

"During the descent, I checked the map. The crash site is likely in the East Seventh District." The refined short-haired beauty tapped the metal device in her hand, displaying a holographic map.

If anyone from the Four Domains saw this holographic map, they would undoubtedly be startled.

Because the area shown on this holographic map is more than ten times larger than the Four Domains’ maps, extending thousands of kilometers into the Restricted Area, a place where none of the Four Domain Cities have ventured.

"East Seventh District? How did we end up here?" The middle-aged man’s expression grew increasingly serious, seeing the light red area on the holographic map.

Not just the middle-aged man, everyone from the ship shared his grave look.

The holographic map demarcates regions based on danger levels, generally divided into gray, white, red, and black colors. Gray areas are not dangerous, white areas have bearable danger, red areas are extremely dangerous, and black areas are essentially death zones, guaranteeing death upon entry.

The current area, though lightly red, is still a high-risk zone, not a place a team of their level should venture.

"Captain! There are multiple life signals rapidly approaching us on the map!" The refined short-haired beauty urgently reported, glancing at another tablet device.

"Multiple life signals quickly approaching?" The middle-aged man asked with an unpleasant expression, "Is it anomalies?"

"Based on the feedback of mental fluctuations, it’s not any kind of anomaly we’ve documented; it likely isn’t an anomaly." The refined short-haired beauty, after a moment of observation, unexpectedly said, "But I just sent an identification code, and these life forms haven’t responded. However, if they were beasts, they shouldn’t be moving together in such numbers."

"Unknown life forms?" The middle-aged man immediately commanded, "Everyone, engage combat readiness. We may not know what these unknown life forms are, but given this is the East Seventh District, we cannot afford any oversight."

Following the middle-aged man’s order, the crew members present became serious, each tapping the metal wristbands. Instantly, a white battle armor appeared on their previously white-clad bodies, a translucent blue energy shield materialized at their wrist, with Qi and Blood refracting visibly — unmistakably in the Blood Coagulation Realm.

Despite sharing the same white battle armor, the leading middle-aged man and the deputy, the refined short-haired beauty, had Qi and Blood at the Heavenly Human Realm.

The leading middle-aged man’s Qi and Blood were particularly intense, having reached the High Tier of the Heavenly Human Realm, easily enveloping an area of two to thirty kilometers. From a distance, it looked like a mountain of Qi and Blood towering within the Restricted Area, which instinctively repelled surrounding animals.

"That NPC is so strong!"

Upon reaching the crash site quickly, Yiye Fuyun, observing the Qi and Blood billowing skyward and the oppressive presence emanating from the middle-aged man, was astounded.

Since advancing to the Blood Coagulation Realm using the Energy Blood Essence found during a relic exploration some time back, he had not felt any danger, even when facing anomalies.
