I Attained Invincibility In The Real World-Chapter 576 - 331: Arrival and Immediate Explosion

Chapter 576: Chapter 331: Arrival and Immediate Explosion

Border.

Yellow sand filled the sky, the scorching sun hung overhead.

“Hooooy—”

“How much longer do we have to stay here?”

Even for martial artists.

Being in such an environment is quite unbearable.

The young man tugged at his collar.

The sweltering airflow brushed against his cheeks, causing his features to contort.

His Adam’s apple rolled up and down.

Feeling unbearable thirst, he directly took out the kettle from his waist and poured water into his mouth.

In the bushes by his side, there were several other people squatting.

Every one of them was tall and seemingly powerful, unlike ordinary people.

They were part of the investigation team from the nearby city’s Martial Arts Association Branch.

After receiving Li Wuji’s order, they quickly arrived here to observe the situation.

The team leader, the Branch President of this location, was an old man with white beard and wrinkled skin, like a ravine crisscrossed.

However,

Although the Branch President was of old age, the sharpness occasionally flashing in his eyes was enough to make people not dare to underestimate him.

“Everyone, bear with it.”

“Don’t cry out because of a little hardship.”

The chairman’s voice was slightly hoarse.

It was obvious that even he himself was not feeling good.

“Get your spirits up!”

“Don’t think that just because we’re only responsible for peripheral investigations, you can take it lightly.”

“As a member of the Martial Arts Association, don’t you know what kind of enemy we are facing?”

With furrowed brows, the chairman reprimanded coldly.

Upon hearing his scolding, the faces of the others became solemn.

Only the young man who had complained earlier just pursed his lips without taking his words seriously.

“When the sky falls, there will always be someone taller to hold it up.”

“Do you want to see how tall I am?”

“I’ve only been practicing martial arts for ten years, and I can’t even beat you, let alone a Heavenly Person.”

“The two of us together might not even be good enough to be a toothpick for them, old man.”

The young man spread his hands.

Though the old Branch President had long been used to this mode of speaking, the young man’s words still choked him up.

But in the end,

Considering that they still had a mission, he didn’t continue to teach his son any lessons.

“Not ashamed of your weakness, but rather flaunt it.”

“Truly a piece of uncarvable rotten wood.”

With a cold face, he threw down two sentences, then turned back to watch ahead.

They were halfway up the mountain.

Looking downward,

The verdant forest, which should have been endless and extending to the skyline, was now at the end of their sight, replaced by a bizarre desert.

Visible to the naked eye, the rampant airflow covered the surrounding area for several kilometers in yellow sand.

Even the temperature had risen significantly.

An hour ago, the desert was barely noticeable and the Martial Arts Association wouldn’t have noticed it.

It was only because some nearby villagers had entered the forest to pick mushrooms that they had accidentally stumbled upon this strange scene.

It was a father and son.

Out of curiosity, the father tried to explore the yellow sand, but in front of his child’s eyes, his body dehydrated and turned into a dried corpse at an alarming rate.

With great horror, the son immediately called the police.

That’s why the Martial Arts Association was able to investigate the anomaly early.

However,

What the Branch President hadn’t expected was that,

From the time they received the alarm to the message being sent to the Association’s headquarters and then their team being dispatched to investigate,

The whole process hadn’t even taken an hour.

During this short period of time,

The yellow sand, which had been described as the size of a well by the person who called the police, had now expanded to several hundred meters.

Even more,

During the time the Branch President was watching, the yellow sand continued to spread at a rate visible to the naked eye.

With each expansion, one could clearly see countless lush trees dehydrating and withering at a visible speed, eventually merging into the yellow sand.

At this rate,

He estimated it would take at most one hour for the yellow sand to spread to where they were.

In half a day’s time, it could cover the entire forest, directly threatening humans living nearby.

By then,

This place would become a living hell.

With this thought in mind,

The Branch President couldn’t help but lower his head and look at the communicator around his waist.

Although news from Kyoto said that reinforcements would arrive soon,

He knew in his heart that no matter how fast they were, they were still far away.

There was nearly four thousand kilometers between here and Kyoto.

Even if those in Kyoto were extremely fast, it would take some time from deploying manpower to being fully armed and arriving here.

An hour or two was enough for the yellow sand to swallow up the entire forest.

The chain reaction triggered by this event… he dared not even think about it.

Unfortunately, he had insufficient strength and dared not rashly touch it.

For a moment,

The Branch President felt impatient.

Boom boom boom——

Just at this moment,

Thunder suddenly sounded in the sky.

Huh?

Is it going to rain?

The joy of the Branch President quickly surged.

If it rained here, it might slow down the spread of the yellow sand.

He quickly looked up.

But,

The sun was shining brightly, the sky was clear blue.

It was still dry.

There was no sign of it being about to rain.

He couldn’t help feeling a little lost, thinking that the earlier thunder was just his imagination.

However,

As if to refute his thoughts,

Boom boom boom——

Another round of thunder.

This time,

Even the people behind him could hear it clearly.

“What the hell? Where did the thunder come from on such a sunny day?”

The chairman’s son looked up and said in confusion.

As soon as the words fell,

The light was quickly swallowed up.

Under the astonished gazes of the group,

Dark clouds swiftly covered the sky above the forest, covering the scorching sun behind them.

Boom—

This time, the thunder seemed to be right next to their ears.

The blazing white light reflected on their astonished faces.
