âWere ancient humans capable of coming to the Moon to offer sacrifices?â Zhou Wen asked as he looked at the corpse.
âI donât know. If you had asked me this question before now, the answer would definitely have been no. But from the looks of it now, even without rockets and other equipment, humans might have had the ability to reach the Moon.â Shen Yuchi shook his head slightly.
Under Shen Yuchiâs command, everyone left the cave and continued searching for useful clues nearby.
Among the people from the bureau, there were professional investigators. They were much more professional than Zhou Wen, so he didnât focus on the investigations.
He slowly walked on the moon as he switched his Life Soul to Glimmer.
He could clearly sense that the Glimmer Life Soul was growing, but this growth wasnât enough for it to break through to a Perfect Body.
Could it be that I have to use Glimmerâs interstellar teleportation ability to advance to a Perfect Body?
Zhou Wen now roughly understood how Glimmer could advance. He felt relieved.
The Glimmer Life Soul already had the power to advance. It was only because he had never used Glimmerâs ability that he was unable to break through the final barrier.
Now, Zhou Wen only needed to use interstellar teleportation once to advance to perfection.
If I were to use Glimmer to teleport back to Earth, I should be able to advance to a Perfect Body.
Zhou Wen could sense that there was no mistake.
Zhou Wen planned on teleporting back to Earth after the matters on the Moon were over, allowing Glimmer to advance to a Perfect Body.
Shen Yuchi and company kept investigating and had already discovered many clues. According to the current clues, the previous astronauts had been attacked by an unknown creature when they dug out the tree stump.
Furthermore, according to the measurements of the mine, they discovered that there should be a natural pit hole under the tree stump. The creature that had attacked the astronauts was likely hiding in that natural pit hole.
âDirector-General, thereâs something very strange,â Wang Qiuyuan said as he surveyed the area.
âSpeak.â Shen Yuchi and company looked at Wang Qiuyuan.
âThere arenât any astronaut corpses at the scene, nor are there any signs of a fight. This means that the dimensional creature is very powerful. It can directly devour them or forcefully detain them. However, look at these footprints. These footprints belong to that Mythical Companion Beast. These belong to those astronauts.â Wang Qiuyuan pointed at the footprints. âIf we were to encounter a powerful dimensional creature, even if we were quickly devoured after discovering it, we would subconsciously retreat. Even if we didnât take a step forward, the center of gravity for the step will shift. This should be obvious from the changes in the footprints.
âBut from the looks of it, thereâs no sign of that at all. Itâs as though they didnât see any terrifying creature, and were devoured without realizing what was happening.â
Everyone looked carefully at the footprints on the ground and realized that this was indeed the case.
âWhat do you think of this situation?â Shen Yuchi asked Wang Qiuyuan.
âIâm certain that they didnât see the dimensional creature. Itâs possible that the dimensional creature has invisibility, or it might have hidden somewhere and launched an attack when they werenât prepared.â Wang Qiuyuan scanned his surroundings. âIf that thing has invisibility, we have to be careful. Perhaps itâs watching us from somewhere nearby.â
Everyone was alarmed as Zhou Wenâs reaction was the greatest.
This was because he knew that the dimensional creature might not be invisible, but because its life form was so advancedâthis resulted in them being unable to see it.
In other words, that dimensional creature might be a Terror-grade existence.
Is there really a Terror-grade monster hiding on the Moon?
Zhou Wen was alarmed as he and Truth Listener scanned their surroundings at the same time, but they didnât discover anything. However, this only made him even more alarmed.
âZhou Wen, whatâs your take?â Shen Yuchi pondered for a moment before his gaze landed on Zhou Wen.
âI think itâs best we leave this place quickly.â Zhou Wen was originally interested in the petals and tree stump, but now that they were gone and that there might still be a Terror-grade creature here, it wasnât suitable for him to continue taking risks in such an environment.
âLetâs head back now.â Shen Yuchi had just given the order when he suddenly heard a tragic cry.
The screams coming from the communicator were short, as if someone had grabbed the person by his throat just as he had started shouting.
Everyone was alarmed as they looked around, but they didnât discover anything. They didnât find any dimensional creatures or blood. No one even discovered anyone injured.
However, one of them was missing. A perfectly fine person had vanished beside them.
âLu Dong... Lu Dong...â Everyone felt their souls leap out of their bodies. As Shen Yuchi summoned his Companion Beast to stand guard, he shouted for the vanished inspector.
No response. The communicator was terrifyingly quiet, as though the inspector had been erased from the world.
Zhou Wen didnât hesitate to release Ice Maiden. At that moment, he was almost certain that the dimensional creature on the moon was likely a Terror-grade existence.
Shen Yuchi and company, who were feeling nervous, were shocked when they suddenly saw a woman beside Zhou Wen.
However, when they saw Zhou Wenâs behavior, they imagined that the woman was Zhou Wenâs Companion Beast, but her aura didnât seem right.
At times like this, no one was in the mood to investigate if the woman was a Companion Beast or something else. Shen Yuchi immediately gave the order to evacuate.
âItâs best you donât go over.â Zhou Wen stood there without moving because Ice Maidenâs eyes were looking in the direction of their retreat. Furthermore, she looked rather solemn.
âWhat did you discover?â Wei Ge stopped and asked Zhou Wen.
âThat thing should be over there,â Zhou Wen said as he looked in the direction that Ice Maiden was looking.
Shen Yuchi and company hurriedly retreated. Shen Yuchi looked at Zhou Wen and asked, âCan you see it?â
âI canât see it, but she can.â Zhou Wen looked at Ice Maiden and asked, âHow is it? What is it? Are you confident?â
âItâs very tricky. Even if I can win, Iâm afraid I wonât be able to protect you,â Ice Maiden said.
So itâs really at the Terror grade?
Zhou Wen no longer had any doubt. To make Ice Maiden say such words, it had to be at the Terror grade.
âDirector-General Shen, it looks like we can only escape separately.â Zhou Wen wanted to summon the Earth Elemental Beast and planned on using its Earth Escape ability to escape.
âWhoever moves first will become its target,â Ice Maiden said again.
Upon hearing Ice Maidenâs words, Zhou Wen had no choice but to give up summoning the Earth Elemental Beast and stood there motionless.
Even though Zhou Wen didnât move, someone didnât believe him. An inspector summoned an Epic Companion Beast that could fly. He wanted to use its power to escape in another direction.
