Ordinary observers in fast time travel

This means the world cannot grow healthily!

'Host, every day you remain in this world serves as a reminder of the irrationality of its rules! The difficulty of manifesting these world rules has increased.'

Upon hearing this, Shi Jia was so frightened that her soul almost left Sun Yu's body.

'Little thing, you're not kidding?' Shi Jia swallowed hard.

"No," the little system said.

'So, you mean I should leave quickly?'

"No, isn't the host supposed to stay here for ten years?" The little system blinked. "Only nine months have passed so far. The host can still play in this world for nine more years."

Play?
That's a really apt description! Shi Jia twitched the corner of her mouth, feeling a little heavy-hearted, but she didn't say anything more. Instead, she took out the mustard seed bag left behind by Lu Tianxue and the others and began to purify the turbid beast.

As the corrupted beasts were purified one by one, Shi Jia's mood gradually calmed down. No longer immersed in his inner turmoil, he noticed that the sapling was swaying happily among its leaves, with more than a dozen aerial roots inserted into the corrupted beasts' bodies, absorbing the corrupted energy.

He chuckled softly, "You're happy?"

Happy~ Full~ Growing up~
Shi Jia felt the sapling's feedback and was stunned. "Zhang Da?" A flash of inspiration crossed his mind again, and this time, he grasped it!

"Saplings can absorb polluted air to grow. So, when they grow up, will they be able to absorb even more polluted air?"

Shi Jia swallowed hard, the image of the banyan tree spanning light-years flashed through his mind.

Without a doubt, if there were a large banyan tree, the polluted air of the painted world wouldn't be enough for the banyan tree to absorb!
His eyes grew brighter and brighter; it seemed he had found a solution!

He hugged the sapling tightly, rubbed it against his forehead, and said, "Little sapling, you're amazing!"

The sapling swayed happily. So joyful!
"Junior, come out quickly, the captain and the others are injured." Shi Jia was struggling to grill meat when he suddenly heard a sound outside. He threw down his things with a sigh of relief and ran out of the cave.

"I'm here. Don't worry, the captain and the others will be fine." Shi Jia immediately summoned the sapling, which floated above Lu Tianxue, Huang Qi, Liu Zhan, and the others, and the healing began.

Shi Jia looked at the others and said, "You all have a lot of turbid energy on you. Sit down and I'll treat you all."

“We’re fine.” Chengzi shook her head.

Shi Jia ignored her refusal and directly caused the sapling to grow aerial roots that pierced into their bodies. "Don't worry, my purification ability has improved these past few days, and I can purify ten people at the same time."

"That's great, congratulations junior!" Cheng Zi was genuinely happy for Shi Jia.

"Did we encounter a beast of the Azure Rank or higher?" Shi Jia asked.

Cheng Zi nodded. "Yes, that turbid beast looks like it's at the Azure Rank, but it has the strength of the Blue Rank. Although there aren't many turbid beasts in the deep forest now, they are very strong, and there seems to be some chaos in their activity area."

They hunted based on experience, but unexpectedly attracted a blue-tier beast, even though it was still within the green-tier range.

Shi Jia felt a little guilty, but then said solemnly, "Then we'll be even more careful when hunting tomorrow."

Cheng Zi was silent for a moment, then nodded. "Let's wait until Sister Xue wakes up before making a decision."

The saplings purified quickly, completing the purification process in no time. However, Lu Tianxue and the others had sustained external injuries and were not yet awake. Shi Jia and Cheng Zi then carried the group into the cave.

With Chengzi and the others by her side, Shi Jia was freed from the barbecue and busied herself with her drawing board, doing design work.

"Orange, I should be able to design your whip in about two more days, but as for materializing it, we'll have to wait until we leave the Black Zone," Shi Jia said with a smile.

"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry." Orange waved her hand and focused on grilling the meat.

Half an hour later, Lu Tianxue and the others, having had their wounds treated, woke up. The first thing she did upon waking was to order the Qinglan team to evacuate. She had noticed the unusually abnormal turbid air in the Black Zone and was worried about a potential beast tide that night.

"Captain, it's already dark. Why don't we wait until tomorrow?" Shi Jia suggested.

“Yes, it’s safe here right now. Besides, it’s not convenient for the three of you to travel if you’re injured,” Cheng Zi agreed.

Dai Yuxuan and Chen Yinong remained silent, but they actually agreed with Lu Tianxue's judgment.

Upon returning to their camp and seeing Shi Jia, who had purified the turbid energy within everyone's bodies, all their unease vanished. It was as if with Shi Jia's presence, they could be fearless against all turbid energy and the beast tide.

Lu Tianxue shook her head, her eyes fixed on Shi Jia. "No, we must leave immediately. If a beast tide really breaks out, there's absolutely no way we can resist it! Do you understand?" Shi Jia was intimidated by Lu Tianxue's gaze and nodded. "Okay, we'll leave immediately."

Lu Tianxue breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the others, "Pack up everything you can, and be prepared to lose this base!"

"Yes!"

Although the members of the Blue and Green Team were young, they were very organized and quickly cleaned up the cave, including the purified meat that Chengzi was roasting.

Before leaving the cave, Shi Jia summoned the sapling, placed it on his head, and walked at the back of the group as he had come.

Traveling at night is very dangerous, especially in dark areas. Hearing the rustling sounds around them and the distant roars of beasts, everyone instinctively gripped their weapons, held their breath, and prepared to attack at any moment.

They left the green zone with trepidation and quickly passed through the yellow zone. Upon reaching the orange zone, Chen Yinong immediately took out the car. Once inside, everyone's anxiety subsided slightly.

"Everyone, hold on tight." Chen Yinong stepped on the gas, and the car shot off.

It was at least ten kilometers from the orange zone to the security gate. On a flat road, it would take about ten minutes to get there, but this was the black zone, a wilderness with uneven roads and they had to be wary of the beasts. It took them a full thirty minutes to travel those ten kilometers.

"The safe zone is just ahead." Chen Yinong breathed a sigh of relief. "But they won't let us through now; we'll have to wait at the gate until dawn."

This was something everyone knew, so they had no objections; on the contrary, they breathed a sigh of relief at being back in a safe place.

Chen Yinong parked his car at the entrance to the security gate, ready to drive in as soon as the gate opened tomorrow.

"Everyone, take a break."

"Okay, Nong-ge, have something to eat." Chengzi handed him the grilled purified meat.

"Thank you."

Everyone ate something simple and took turns resting.

In the middle of the night, the earth began to tremble, and a series of beastly roars awakened the soldiers guarding the security gate. They also woke up the members of the Blue and Green Team.

"What is that?" Dai Yuxuan, who was on night watch, stared wide-eyed. The next second, she shouted in panic, "Wake up! Wake up! The beast tide is coming!"

"What's here?" Huang Qi woke up groggily.

"Everyone get out of the car and let the guards open the gate!" Lu Tianxue said.

"what?"

"The beast tide is coming! Don't delay, we must get through the safety gate immediately!" Lu Tianxue had already reached the safety gate and was banging on it. "Open the door quickly, the beast tide is coming!"

The moment the soldiers on duty discovered the beast tide, they went to notify the guards at the security gate, but no one was behind the security gate at that time.

"Open the door!" After receiving no response for a long time, Lu Tianxue became anxious and used all her strength to smash the security door.

The security door immediately sounded an alarm.

The soldiers patrolling inside the gate heard the alarm and immediately came to the security gate. Soon they saw Lu Tianxue and her group on the monitor.

"What's going on? Do they want us to die in the beast tide?" Chen Yinong was very nervous and scared, and couldn't help but make malicious guesses.

The others remained silent, staring at the security gate while also looking fearfully at the approaching horde of beasts.

"Hey, guards, what's going on here! Can't you see there are so many people outside?!"

The others nervously went forward and knocked on the door, "Bang, bang, bang."

Each knock landed squarely on their hearts. Gradually, the knocking and the roars of the beasts merged into one.

Suddenly, creak!

"Come in quickly." (End of Chapter)
