Guarding the River of Time-Chapter 284 - 275: A Trap for Su Mu, High-Dimensional Beings in the Chaos

Chapter 284: Chapter 275: A Trap for Su Mu, High-Dimensional Beings in the Chaos

Su Mu looked towards the cave entrance and discovered a head, forced out by the river sand pouring down.

Upon closer inspection, it was the head of the black-haired man, which had been severed by Su Mu and suppressed with a magical artifact.

At this moment, the head had not only broken through the suppression of the magical artifact, but had also managed to force its way out despite the heavy river sand pouring down.

Strangely, the head was already lifeless, meaning the black-haired man was completely dead.

However, there was another energy on the head, like a pair of invisible giant hands, grabbing the black-haired man’s head and furiously flying towards the main river channel.

Seeing this, Su Mu prepared to give chase.

But the next second, dozens of huge fierce crocodiles suddenly burst out of the mud on the riverbank, rushing at Su Mu with a frenzy.

At the sight, Su Mu’s spiritual power erupted, instantly slaying these dozens of fierce crocodiles.

Just as he was about to chase again, dozens more fierce crocodiles pounced out, delaying Su Mu for another breath of time.

After handling them entirely.

When Su Mu looked back, he found that the man’s head was already gone.

"You stay here and watch!"

Su Mu left the little fox at the scene to keep watch, then pursued alone.

Treading on the river water, Su Mu moved with extreme speed, almost reaching the main river channel within a few breaths, but he found that once the man’s head reached the main channel, it was no longer visible.

The main river channel was too vast, with many tributaries intersecting, making the search incredibly difficult.

....

Su Mu returned to the scene, continued manipulating the river sand, and finally managed to fill the large hole.

Once the riverbed was restored to smoothness, Su Mu relieved the static, allowing the water to flow once again.

Quickly, with the normal flow of water, the dried riverbed behind this tributary also began to restore. After some time, this place could completely return to a normal ecological environment.

After doing all this, the system’s broadcast sounded in his mind.

[Congratulations, Host! You have patched the river channel breach and triggered an extra cause-and-effect reward, Favor Points +200000]

Upon hearing that he had just received two hundred thousand Favor Points at once, Su Mu was visibly stunned, a look of disbelief on his face.

Two... two hundred thousand!

My goodness, to receive two hundred thousand at once broke Su Mu’s highest record of obtaining points in one go.

Two hundred thousand Favor Points would take Su Mu at least two to three months of diligent hard work to earn, and that’s with relatively good luck every day.

Two hundred thousand Favor Points, converted to Affinity, amounts to a full 2%!!

Just today, the Favor Points earned could enhance the River Affinity by 2%!!

At the moment of acquiring the Favor Points, the feeling of frustration was swept away. Being trapped in a conspiracy and peril, the initial sentiment was one of great displeasure.

But now, with two hundred thousand Favor Points in hand, Su Mu expressed that this kind of "calamity" could happen a few more times in the future!

The only slight regret was that the man’s head had been taken away by some "power," and he doesn’t know where it went.

However, having already wiped out everything, even if resurrected, it probably wouldn’t survive for long, right?

In any case, it seems like when patrolling the river in the future, he should keep more alert; otherwise... there will always be crafty people wanting to harm him.

After obtaining the two hundred thousand Favor Points, combined with the one hundred thousand Favor Points diligently saved up over this period.

With a grand gesture, Su Mu directly used them to enhance the River Affinity.

The River Affinity has now reached 33%.

To refine it to 100%, it seems within reach!

...

The carcasses of the spirit beasts slain by the little fox and those fierce alligators are excellent supplements and were all taken back home. The dinner ingredients for the next month are resolved.

If those hundreds of fierce alligators hadn’t suddenly burst out from the silt, delaying him for a few seconds, he wouldn’t have let the black-haired man’s head escape. The only fitting retribution for such anger is to eat them!

.....

In a remote corner of the Chaos Space, in the All Heavens and Myriad Realms.

This space sees no sun, no light; everything is unseen, filled only with void and chaos. Even the laws are fragmented, chaotic, and the space itself is incomplete, with only scattered law fragments floating.

In the next second, a head appeared out of thin air in the Chaos Space, becoming the only visible thing.

Then, within the chaos, three vague outlines appeared like silhouettes but not quite, without any specific body, just indeterminate outlines.

This chaotic outline encircled the head.

Then three beams of void light converged into the head.

After about a dozen breaths, the flesh at the neck of the head started growing at a speed visible to the naked eye....

Finally, the head was restored to a complete body, but the pupils remained unfocused, still utterly devoid of life.

In the next second, a white light point gathered at the man’s forehead.

The man suddenly opened his eyes, filled with a look of shock, then slowly stood up, incredulously examining his hands.

Was I not dead.....

No, that’s not right! 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

I was dead!

A powerful energy emerged within me, forcibly resurrecting me. Once this energy dissipates, I will still die.

The black-haired man slowly raised his head, looking towards the three outlines in the chaos.

He was very clear: it was these three beings that temporarily resurrected him.

But he didn’t know these three beings....

He could feel it: these three were immensely strong, so powerful that he couldn’t even sense their aura, transcending some kind of dimension.

...

"Why are you bringing me to this place...."

"Who are you?"

The black-haired man raised his head, looking towards the three beings in the chaos.

He was very clear: since they could bring his corpse back from that man and forcibly revive him, their power was undoubtedly beyond what he could imagine.

Because, that was the River of Time!

....

The black-haired man’s words echoed plainly through the chaos....

No one answered.

After a long while, a somewhat raspy voice floated out from the murk.

"You don’t need to know who we are."

"You only need to know that we saved you, that’s enough."

This voice was very ethereal, with an almost unreal quality as if traversing endless time and space to reach his ears.

.....

Upon hearing these words, the black-haired man fell silent.

Then continued to ask: "What do you want me to do..."

No one acts without reason, especially to save him from that man; he knows very well how difficult that would be.

He must hold some value to them.
