Chapter 256 Brothers in Suffering
A corner of the Cangnan ruins.
Zhao Kongcheng came to the members of Team 136 with a serious expression. His steps were steady and powerful, and every step seemed particularly firm.
However, when he saw Hongying and several others surrounding a person lying on the ground and shouting anxiously, his eyes suddenly widened and his gaze instantly became sharp.
He recognized the person lying on the ground—it was Lin Qiye.
Zhao Kongcheng's heart suddenly started to panic, his heartbeat accelerated, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.
He walked over quickly, his steps carrying a hint of urgency. His face was covered with stubble, looking a little haggard, but at this moment, a hint of deep worry was revealed.
He asked loudly: "Old Chen!!! What's going on with Qiye?"
When Chen Muye heard the familiar voice, he looked up and a look of surprise and helplessness appeared on his face.
When he saw Zhao Kongcheng's expression, his heart sank, knowing that Zhao Kongcheng cared deeply about Lin Qiye.
Chen Muye sighed, with a hint of sadness in his voice:
"Old Zhao! Why are you here? Hey... We don't know much about Qiye either. He might be seriously injured!"
There was also a trace of sadness on Chen Muye's face at this moment, and his eyes flashed with worry about Lin Qiye.
He didn't expect that he would encounter such a thing just after he was resurrected, and Lin Qiye, the team member he was most worried about, actually had such an accident.
His heart was filled with self-blame and anxiety, feeling that he had failed to protect Lin Qiye.
At this moment, Lin Qiye was pale and unconscious on the ground.
His body was motionless and his breathing was weak, as if it could stop at any moment.
Hongying and other team members surrounded him, their eyes full of anxiety and worry. There was a hint of trembling in their voices as they kept calling Lin Qiye's name, hoping that he would wake up.
However, Lin Qiye still did not react. His body was covered by a layer of faint white light. It was his last strength that was barely maintaining his life.
Not far away, members of the Phoenix Team stood quietly by, their faces filled with silence and heaviness.
Xia Simeng stood at the front of the team, with a hint of loss and unwillingness in her eyes.
She originally planned to include Zhang Yun and Lin Qiye in the Phoenix Team to provide them with better resources and protection, while also enhancing the strength of the Phoenix Team.
However, reality dealt her a heavy blow.
Zhang Yun disappeared, as if he had vanished in the chaotic battlefield, and there was no clue to track his whereabouts.
Lin Qiye, the young team member she had always been optimistic about, was now seriously injured and unconscious on the ground.
His body was shrouded in a faint white light, which was his last strength barely maintaining his life, but his breathing had become weak, and every breath seemed like a fight against death.
Xia Simeng's brows were furrowed, and a hint of anxiety flashed in her eyes.
She originally thought that as long as Zhang Yun and Lin Qiye were brought into her team, the Phoenix Team would have a greater advantage in future battles.
However, the current situation made her feel extremely difficult.
She looked at the unconscious Lin Qiye, her heart filled with guilt and self-blame.
She felt that she had not fulfilled her responsibilities and failed to protect them.
The other members of the Phoenix Team were also silent, with worry and helplessness on their faces.
"Captain!!! Don't worry too much, we have already notified the higher-ups and they have sent the best medical team here!" Kong Shang looked calm.
"Oh! What's going on? My teammates! I feel like this isn't my cup of tea again!!!" Xia Simeng sighed, with a hint of helplessness in her voice.
She originally thought that she could successfully bring them under her command this time, but she didn't expect that the development of the matter would be completely beyond her expectations.
She shook her head and continued:
"I was originally planning to snatch the person away, but the higher-ups intervened, so where is my chance?"
Xia Simeng's words revealed an unwilling emotion, and there was a hint of irritation on her face, as if she was lamenting that her plans were always disrupted by reality.
She glanced around, as if searching for a glimmer of hope, but ultimately fell silent.
When Kong Shang, who was standing next to her, heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, revealing a complicated expression.
"..."
He didn't expect Xia Simeng's idea to be so direct, even a little unexpected.
A hint of surprise flashed across Kong Shang's eyes.
"Captain! I didn't expect you to have such thoughts!"
There was a hint of ridicule and helplessness in Kong Shang's voice, and his eyes flashed with understanding and tolerance for Xia Simeng.
He knew Xia Simeng's character very well. She was always like this, straightforward and never concealed her thoughts.
Kong Shang smiled slightly and continued:
"It really has to be you!"
When Xia Simeng heard Kong Shang's words, an awkward smile appeared on her face. She scratched her head and said:
"Oh, there's nothing I can do about it. That's just who I am."
The Phoenix team members around them couldn't help but smile when they heard their conversation.
They know Xia Simeng's character very well. This straightforwardness and honesty are the source of her charm.
And just then.
A Taoist priest wearing a coarse Taoist robe and straw sandals quietly appeared in front of everyone.
He looked extremely ordinary, even a little plain, as if he was just an ordinary traveler.
However, when he raised his head and revealed his deep eyes, everyone was shocked.
The Taoist's eyes were like two deep stars, as if they contained the mysteries of the entire universe.
His eyes revealed a sense of vastness and depth that made people dare not look directly at him.
Those eyes seemed to be able to see through all the vanity in the world and reach people's hearts.
His appearance seemed to break the boundaries of time and space, bringing a majesty that transcended the world.
The moment the Taoist appeared, an invisible force instantly spread out, as if the entire space was shrouded in his power.
Everyone in Team 136, Zhao Kongcheng, and even the members of the special team, the Phoenix Team, were instantly imprisoned by this force.
Their bodies seemed to be bound by invisible shackles, unable to move at all.
This power was so powerful and mysterious that they couldn't move a hair or even glance.
Zhao Kongcheng's face instantly became serious, and a hint of vigilance flashed in his eyes.
He tried to struggle, but soon found that his strength was so insignificant under this invisible restraint.
The members of Team 136 all showed shocked expressions, with disbelief written all over their faces.
They had never encountered such a powerful force that could imprison them all in an instant, leaving them no room for resistance.
The power of this force was beyond their imagination, making them feel a deep sense of powerlessness.
There was anxiety in their eyes, not knowing what would happen next.
Chen Muye's heart sank, and a hint of worry flashed in his eyes.
As the captain of Team 136, he knew that the opponent he encountered this time was no ordinary one. He was filled with doubts: who was this Taoist priest?
Why does it have such powerful power?
The members of the Phoenix Team were also shocked, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
There was an expression of disbelief on Xia Simeng's face, and a hint of confusion in her eyes.
You know, she is a strong person in the "Boundless" realm, and her strength is top-notch in the Phoenix team.
Moreover, when they join forces with the Phoenix Squad, they can even fight against mythical creatures. Such strength is enough to give them an advantage in any battle.
However, in front of this Taoist priest, they couldn't even bear a glance from him.
The Taoist's power seemed to come from another level, making them feel a deep sense of oppression.
Various thoughts flashed through Xia Simeng's mind rapidly, and she tried to recall whether she had ever heard of such a powerful being.
"Who is this?"
The atmosphere around became more solemn, and everyone was shrouded in this invisible force. Their hearts were filled with fear of the unknown and awe of the Taoist priest.
The Taoist stood in front of everyone, his figure appearing exceptionally calm amidst the invisible power.
There was a faint smile on his face, which revealed a transcendent peace and wisdom, as if all the disputes in the world could not disturb his state of mind.
He didn't say much, just quietly observed everyone for a moment, then slowly walked towards Lin Qiye who was unconscious on the ground.
Each step he took seemed extremely steady, as if his footsteps could flatten all obstacles.
His eyes were always fixed on Lin Qiye, with a hint of concern and compassion in them.
When he walked in front of Lin Qiye, he leaned over slightly, stretched out a finger, and gently drew a line between Lin Qiye's eyebrows.
The moment his finger fell, a golden rune flashed out from his fingertips, like a sacred light, instantly merging into Lin Qiye's eyebrows.
This rune emitted a warm and soft light, as if carrying a powerful vitality, and began to flow in Lin Qiye's body.
As the golden rune fell, the golden and white light that originally surrounded Lin Qiye disappeared instantly, as if they were absorbed by the rune.
Lin Qiye's originally pale face underwent a subtle change at this moment. A hint of redness gradually appeared on his cheeks, as if vitality was slowly returning to his body.
Although he was still in a coma, his breathing became steadier, the trembling of his body gradually subsided, and his overall condition seemed to be much more stable.
The Taoist looked at Lin Qiye's changes and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
There was a hint of relief on the Taoist's face, and a soft light flashed in his eyes.
He gently withdrew his fingers, nodded slightly, turned around and looked at everyone, with a deep meaning in his eyes.
His robe fluttered in the wind, making him look particularly elegant.
He glanced at everyone with a hint of indifference in his eyes, and then waved his sleeves lightly.
In an instant, a spatial crack appeared out of nowhere, as if tearing open the boundaries of time and space.
A faint light flickered in the crack, carrying a mysterious and powerful aura.
Immediately afterwards, the unconscious body of Zhang Yun slowly floated out from the crack and landed beside Lin Qiye.
The two of them happened to be placed in a row, as if it was fate, and they felt like brothers in distress.
"My young friend! You were unconscious in a ruin. I saw you and brought you here!" The Taoist's voice was calm and gentle, with a hint of a smile.
His gaze lingered on the unconscious bodies of Zhang Yun and Lin Qiye for a moment, a hint of hope flashing in his eyes:
"Zhang Yun! Lin Qiye! I hope you can embark on the path of Taoism!"
After saying this, he waved his sleeves again, and a soft light emanated from him, as if carrying an invisible power.
Then he walked forward, his figure gradually becoming blurred in front of everyone, and finally disappeared into the air, as if he had never appeared.
As the Taoist priest left, the invisible force instantly dissipated, and the restraints on everyone's bodies were also released.
They felt their bodies lighten, as if they were freed from a heavy shackle, and every joint and every inch of muscle became free again.
This sudden relief made them feel surprised and relieved, as if everything that had just happened was just a dream.
Zhao Kongcheng and the members of Team 136 stretched their bodies, with a hint of surprise and confusion on their faces.
There was a hint of confusion on Zhao Kongcheng's face. He rubbed his shoulders, as if he was still adapting to this sudden freedom.
He whispered, "What on earth is going on? That power just now... was so weird."
The members of Team 136 also looked at each other, with a hint of shock and disbelief in their expressions.
Chen Muye's brow furrowed slightly, his eyes gleaming with thought: "This kind of power... I've never seen it before. Who is he?"
At the same time, the members of Phoenix Team also recovered from their shock.
There was a hint of awe in their eyes, as if they were amazed at the power of this mysterious Taoist priest.
Xia Simeng stood in front of the team, with a look of confusion and bewilderment on her face.
She couldn't help but mutter to herself: "Who on earth is this person? How can he have such power?"
Kong Shang stood beside Xia Simeng, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
He whispered, "Captain, maybe this Taoist is here to rescue Lin Qiye!!!"
At this time, everyone's eyes turned to Zhang Yun and Lin Qiye who were lying unconscious in a row. The two were lying quietly on the ground, motionless, as if they had fallen into a deep sleep.
This scene made everyone feel an indescribable heaviness and worry, and a depressing atmosphere filled the air.
Hongying's eyes turned red instantly, tears welled up in her eyes, and finally she couldn't help but slide down.
Her voice was choked with sobs: "How come Zhang Yun has become like this?"
She originally thought that Zhang Yun would be safe and sound, but unexpectedly, he fell into a coma like Lin Qiye.
Her heart was filled with worry and self-blame, feeling that she had failed to protect them.
Chen Muye's expression became even more serious, his brows were furrowed, and his eyes revealed deep worry.
As the captain, he knew very well that this incident was beyond their expectations, and the coma of Lin Qiye and Zhang Yun made him feel powerless.
His eyes lingered between the two of them, as if searching for a glimmer of hope.
Wen Qimo's eyes, which always had a smile on them, had disappeared for a long time.
At this moment, there was only worry and anxiety on his face, and a hint of uneasiness flashed in his eyes.
He looked at the two unconscious people, his heart filled with confusion and worry, not knowing what to do next.
Zhao Kongcheng walked over, his steps heavy and slow, as if every step carried an indescribable pressure.
He looked at the two of them, a trace of helplessness and regret flashed in his eyes, and he sighed softly:
"These two unlucky guys are indeed brothers in distress. They were injured in exactly the same way."
