Gu Ran punched open the stone at the entrance of the cave and walked out of the fortress.
The slum area that was almost destroyed by the fighting during the day was now "recovering" very quickly!
Time reversal
142.Shocked! The tyrant's true identity is... ... 4.1k
There are very few things that can shock Gu Ran anymore, but what is happening before his eyes now is enough to surprise not only him, but anyone.
The already dilapidated slums of Canglong City seemed to have been "healed" at this moment, and all the "injuries" gradually recovered as if the battle during the day had never happened.
What’s strange is that in the face of such a spectacular scene, the slums were as quiet as a grave, with no other human voices at all.
"The Eternal Realm... is it really the power of time?"
Gu Ran walked on the streets of the slums, observing carefully.
"Everyone, like Xue Xiling and the others, has fallen into a deep sleep."
Suddenly, Gu Ran paused.
"If these ruins can be repaired by turning back time, what about the dead?"
Thinking of this, Gu Ran became slightly excited. If people could come back to life after the dead, then this would definitely be a power that only gods could master.
However, after Gu Ran checked it, he didn't know whether to be relieved or disappointed.
The dead are still dead, and the dead beasts are still dead beasts. The miracle of time reversal did not happen to them.
This means that even if this is really time reversal, it is a limited time reversal.
Gu Ran felt like an outsider walking alone on the street, out of tune with the surrounding environment. Then, just as he tried to blend into the surroundings, he was squeezed out.
"This is the first time I have this feeling... It seems that this world is indeed extraordinary."
Gu Ran did not try to blend into the surrounding environment. Instead, after observing that there was no danger, he returned to Xue Xiling and the others.
Gu Ran didn't let himself fall asleep the whole night, but kept observing the situation to see if there was any danger.
A hint of paleness appeared in the sky.
It's dawn.
Everyone woke up as if they had set an alarm.
"Oh, what a comfortable sleep."
"I haven't slept so well in a long time. It feels like I slept for a hundred years. It's really satisfying."
The members of the scientific expedition team yawned and muttered sleepily.
"Someone is coming!" Gu Ran frowned and whispered, "Everyone shut up quickly."
After hearing Gu Ran's words, everyone was shocked and lost all sleepiness.
"Someone is coming? Who? Could it be that the soldiers on the other side of the river spotted us yesterday and reported us, and the ruling center from more than 300 years ago sent people to arrest us?"
"I remember that the person who controls the ruling center of Canglong City at this time should be the tyrant who is madly hostile to Star Stone Technology. It's terrible. We are all scientific researchers. It will be miserable if we are caught by him."
Everyone started to feel a little nervous.
Gu Ran integrated himself back into the surroundings, quietly feeling the people walking towards him.
"It is indeed a group of people, and they are coming straight towards us, and they are driving a vehicle."
"The other party came prepared."
Gu Ran knew that they were most likely exposed and the other party was probably targeting them.
"That's right, the coordinates are right here. The place the ruling lord mentioned should be here."
The people outside were talking, and their voices even passed through the wall and reached Gu Ran and the others' ears. They were already very close to each other!
"It seems that there is no escape. The other party will be able to find this place soon." Gu Ran thought about it and smashed the hole.
Walked out.
The other party was startled. What was going on? An enemy attack
When Gu Ran walked in front of them, the two men looked at him with shocked expressions.
"This lord... ... the ruling lord wants to see you."
The two men were wearing the "ancient costumes" of Canglong City from hundreds of years ago. Their sleeves fluttered in the wind. They bowed to Gu Ran with a respectful attitude, without any hostility or defensiveness at all.
Gu Ran thought to himself that it was just as expected.
My Lord Governor... ... The ruler of Canglong City at this time, the legendary tyrant of Canglong City hundreds of years ago, has discovered him, but what does this invitation mean now
A Hongmen Banquet or just an ordinary friendly invitation
After a little thought, Gu Ran decided to meet the tyrant who had ruled Canglong City for hundreds of years.
On the one hand, the other party had already discovered him, so there was not much point in hiding anymore. On the other hand, he was actually very interested in this tyrant who might have the power of time.
So Gu Ran nodded: "Okay, then I'll go with you."
Having said that, Gu Ran walked towards their vehicle.
The two men did not move, but said, "Sir, the ruling lord has also invited your friends."
"It seems that your ruling leader really knows me." Gu Ran turned his head and looked back at the two people.
However, apart from a brief moment of shock when they first saw him, the other two people had a cold and distant look on their faces.
"The ruling lord knows everything about Canglong City."
Gu Ran heard the admiration in their voices; they really did think so.
Who is the person in power in Canglong City during this period
After thinking about it, Gu Ran walked back and explained the situation to Xue Xiling and them.
"The other party has discovered us, but has not yet revealed any hostility. What do you think? Do you want to meet the ruler of Canglong City with me, or refuse to meet him?"
Gu Ran gave the choice to Wu Wang and the others. After all, this matter concerned everyone's life and death, and it was not easy for him to make a decision for everyone.
Wu Wang hesitated for a moment and said, "Since the other party has discovered all of us, it is useless for us to refuse, because this is their territory. They can mobilize forces to monitor us or even arrest us at any time, and we cannot fight them with our strength. So my suggestion is to follow them to see the ruling leader."
Although the members of the scientific expedition team who followed Gu Ran each had their own thoughts and were more motivated by profit, they were not stupid. They knew that in this situation, they should mainly listen to Gu Ran's opinions or those of veteran researchers like Wu Wang.
So they all nodded and agreed to the other party's invitation.
When all the members of the scientific expedition team came out and found that the other party had indeed been prepared and brought two vehicles to carry them, they couldn't help but feel happy for their wise choice.
Everyone got on two cars separately. Originally, many of them wanted to ride in the same car with Gu Ran, but after Wu Wang's comfort, everyone knew that this was not the time to have internal disputes and conflicts.
With Wu Wang's leading demonstration, soon half of the scientific expedition team filled the other car.
"Teacher Wu Wang is indeed a good helper." Gu Ran saw everything.
Although the pontoon bridge was dismantled by the soldiers yesterday, after the "great restoration operation" last night, the bridge was restored to its original state.
Gu Ran originally thought that the two cars would pass over the floating bridge and then drive towards the ruling center in the center of the inner city.
What surprised him was that something very familiar to him suddenly appeared in front of the two cars.
—Space portal!
They were teleported here through a space portal!
In an instant, Gu Ran understood why they suddenly appeared in his perception, rather than being slowly sensed by him as they moved over the floating bridge.
If it was in the past when space abilities still existed, he would be very familiar with the fluctuations of space, and the opening of a portal at such a close distance would definitely not be hidden from him.
"Is this the ability of the tyrant? Or is it just a space prop like the devil?" Gu Ran thought to himself.
If this is the ability of a tyrant, then the legendary tyrant of Canglong City is definitely more powerful than most people can imagine.
The two cars drove into the space portal and disappeared in an instant.
... ...
After the familiar feeling of passing through layers of space, Gu Ran regained his perception of the surrounding environment.
However, the two cars did not stop, but continued to move forward.
"Why are you so weak?"
Suddenly, a voice came from outside.
Although no one was mentioned by name, Gu Ran knew that the other party was talking about him.
A show of force
He looked down on his ability before they even met, so it was hard for Gu Ran not to think of it as a show of force.
Gu Ran was not angry, but suddenly expanded his perception of the surroundings, and then expanded it in the direction of the sound!
The next moment, Gu Ran felt as if his perception had hit a wall and was unable to move forward at all.
"Is this the same power as mine... telekinesis?" Gu Ran was shocked.
"Your strength has become so weak. It seems that the real time limit is about to arrive." The voice said again.
After opening the car door, Gu Ran forced himself to conceal his inner turmoil and looked around.
