The memories of all humanity are awakening, except for mine.

Chapter 140 Princess Anle Arrives!

"Who says it won't be us coming?!"

"Jiang Chuan! Xiao Fang! Well done!"

Cao Zhigang's voice was like thunder, so loud that it even drowned out the falling trees.

But as soon as he finished speaking, the three people who were locked in a stalemate broke their balance when the faceless man suddenly raised one of his legs.

Cao Zhigang seemed to have anticipated this, and he dodged sharply. But at the same time, Cao Zhiqiang took advantage of his opponent's single-leg landing and delivered a straight punch to his knee! The Faceless Man's reaction was also quite swift. He dodged and then charged in again to launch an attack, his heavy fists creating craters in the ground.

The faceless man was more robust and taller than the two teachers Cao, yet his movements were not stiff despite his enormous size; in fact, his speed and strength surpassed those of Cao Zhigang and Cao Zhiqiang.

Even so, he couldn't gain any advantage under the combined attack of the two teachers, Mr. Cao.

Perhaps because they are brothers, their teamwork is seamless.

Cao Zhiqiang's attacks were fierce and his punches landed squarely. Because his punches were a little slow, he occasionally exposed some openings, but Cao Zhiqiang made up for these openings very well...

Thus, the two sides engaged in an astonishing exchange of fire!

Gusts of wind surged as they fought, and although they were extremely fast, they were not dazzling; on the contrary, they had a unique beauty!

Jiang Chuan was filled with amazement as he watched the battle.

Even during that escort mission, Jiang Chuan had never seen the two Teacher Caos display such astonishing martial arts skills. But now, they quickly parried and blocked, launched attacks whenever they could, and countered each move. Their movements were almost invisible, but one could vaguely see the subtle integration of many martial arts techniques!

The faceless man was clearly a skilled fighter, managing to maintain a certain level of combat strength even under the combined attack of the two teachers. He was even able to launch counterattacks occasionally, forcing one of them back and then unleashing a fierce barrage of attacks on the other.

Compared to such methods, he now stood aside with a dagger in his hand, like a lackey cheering on a mountain bandit.

Fang Yi was now standing next to Jiang Chuan. He said in a heavy voice, "This is... a member of the fourth field team. I've met him before... Class A, Grade 4."

"He was also controlled..."

Jiang Chuan nodded. He had assumed that the burly man was also a team leader, otherwise how could he fight two people at once?

But I never expected that he was just a group member?

It seems that the strength of each field team leader is beyond his current comprehension.

But is the difference between the same rating levels really that big?
How could he fight two people at once?

Just as Jiang Chuan was wondering, the situation on the battlefield had already changed, answering his question.

It's not that he can take on two opponents at once, but he can only hold his own for a short time at the very beginning.

The two teachers, Cao and Cao Zhiqiang, had firmly taken the initiative. The faceless man was forced to retreat repeatedly. Cao Zhigang and Cao Zhiqiang launched a continuous attack, and after finding an opening, they did not give the opponent any time to gain a foothold. While punching the faceless man's chest, abdomen, and face, they also frequently pounded on his arms as he came at them.

At first, the faceless man was able to parry and even counterattack, but soon, within just a few breaths, he began to be unable to cope, his field uniform was tattered, and blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.

Seeing that defeat was imminent, he had already prepared to flee.

But just as he made a move to escape, Cao Zhiqiang suddenly appeared in the path he was trying to take. The faceless man had just put his legs up and leaped into the air when he was met with a punch straight in the face!
"Peng!"

With a loud bang, the faceless man's body shot out like a baseball hit by a bat, crashing into a tree with a thud, sending wood chips flying and raising a cloud of dust.

But the other two figures rushed into the dust without stopping, stirring up two plumes of smoke. Then, the booming sounds of fighting rang out again. Before the initial plumes of smoke could settle, even more smoke surged out rhythmically! As the smoke continued to rise, the incredibly thick giant tree let out a piercing wail and collapsed with a trembling crash.

Thump thump thump thump!
The continuous sound of punches came from the smoke, like war drums beating incessantly, seemingly coinciding with Jiang Chuan's heartbeat, making it truly thrilling.

Soon after... the sound stopped and the dust settled.

Through the smoke, you could see two teachers surnamed Cao standing beside a broken giant tree, leaning on their knees and breathing heavily.

The faceless man lay supine on the tree stump covered in sharp thorns, seemingly motionless, not even twitching.

Jiang Chuan stared in shock at the scene, feeling much calmer, but his heart rate refused to come down; his blood was boiling and his breathing was rapid.

At that moment, Fang Yi's voice, tinged with relief, rang in Jiang Chuan's ears:

"We've made it out alive..."

Jiang Chuan nodded, took a deep breath to calm himself, and then the two of them walked towards Teacher Cao.

He saw that the faceless man had revealed his true face, with blood oozing from his mouth, nose, eyes, and even ears; he was dead beyond any doubt.

However, just to be on the safe side, Jiang Chuan still used his mental power to explore the other party's mental sea.

His mind was a complete darkness, utterly still.

Jiang Chuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling much more at ease.

But when he looked at Cao Zhigang and Cao Zhiqiang, he found that neither of the teachers showed any joy of victory.

Jiang Chuan paused for a moment, then suddenly realized.

It's obvious that they must know each other.

Before Jiang Chuan could speak, Cao Zhigang's urgent voice came again:
"Quick! Where is the fourth group?"

"Retrieve the intelligence brought out by the fourth group as soon as possible!"

Jiang Chuan and Fang Yi were stunned.

Immediately, Fang Yi said, "No need..."

"Our group leader told us the name of the person buried in the tomb, and he told us to leave as soon as possible."

Cao Zhigang's expression changed: "Gao Hong!? He's here too!?"

“He’s not…” Jiang Chuan sighed softly and explained the whole story.

After listening to Jiang Chuan's brief description, Cao Zhigang and Cao Zhiqiang sighed.

Then, Cao Zhiqiang said:

"Then let's hurry up and go..."

"Delay brings change."

Jiang Chuan and Fang Yi nodded together.

Zhong Huahua seemed to breathe a sigh of relief as well.

But Shi Changzai's face showed a different kind of surprise. His eyes, which were originally blank and even somewhat empty, finally became bright.

He murmured, "Great, I can finally go back..."

At this moment, Cao Zhigang picked up the communication equipment that he had left aside when he arrived.

The black cable connecting the equipment to the command camp will guide them back.

……

The four-person team has grown back to six. They swiftly traversed the jungle, racing towards the distant command center.

Cao Zhigang, Cao Zhiqiang, Jiang Chuan, and Fang Yi all slowed down, as Zhong Huahua and Shi Changzai couldn't match their speed. However, by this time, everyone's mood was no longer as tense as at the beginning, and they finally relaxed a bit.

As long as we can leave this eerie place...

Then they can take the intelligence back, and this operation will finally come to an end.

At this moment, Fang Yi's questioning voice came: "Boss Cao, how... how did you get here so fast?"

Cao Zhigang laughed and said, "We've already entered the forest!"

"We've been looking for you all around here!"

"Luckily you managed to produce the smoke, otherwise it might have been too late!"

Cao Zhiqiang added, "We have satellites and reconnaissance aircraft to help with positioning, but after all, we can't pinpoint the exact coordinates once we're inside."

"But at least I've always been near you."

Fortunately, the tomb owner couldn't unleash his full power at this distance.

"Otherwise, it will be troublesome."

Jiang Chuan nodded, glancing back at the green mountains that were receding into the distance, a chill still running through his heart.

This operation was extremely dangerous; I almost died here.

Fortunately, this time it seems like we're really lucky, and now we're only one step away from escaping the ghost realm.

Cao Zhiqiang said, "The command center is still speculating which emperor this tomb belongs to..."

"But I never expected it to be a princess..."

"No wonder those villagers were all royal guards..."

They raced along the black cables toward the command camp, the surrounding scenery rushing past them as they ran.

The scenery in the forest at the foot of the green mountain is beautiful. Jiang Chuan thinks that when Tang Songming and Li Yi return and the holiday comes again, they can come here to drink. By then, all these messy things should be over.

The group leader who died, whose name I had just learned was Gao Hong, is now laid to rest here, which is not a bad place.

He can now fully appreciate the scenery.

But at this moment...

"what--!!"

A cry of surprise rang out, and Jiang Chuan saw Zhong Huahua's figure suddenly stop, being "grabbed" by a rather domineering mental force!

In that instant, everyone stopped abruptly. Cao Zhigang and Cao Zhiqiang burst forth with unparalleled speed, heading straight for Zhong Huahua!

But at this moment, a very obvious ring of marks appeared around Zhong Huahua's neck!
A stiff voice came from in front of them: "Stop."

Cao Zhigang and Cao Zhiqiang froze, their brows furrowed, and they dared not move.

It was at the very end... Shi Changzai.

Jiang Chuan stared wide-eyed at Shi Changzai, at his gloomy and pale face, feeling somewhat at a loss.

Contrary to his earlier analysis, there was no two minutes needed to be controlled... Shi Changzai had clearly been following them back the whole time.

And he didn't become a faceless man!

what is the problem?

At this moment, Jiang Chuan noticed a look of disgust on Shi Changzai's face.

He looked at his body, seemingly filled with remorse, with an extremely feminine expression and gaze...

In an instant, Jiang Chuan suddenly understood...

Why didn't Shi Changzai transform into the Faceless Man? Why didn't she have those two minutes...?

It's Princess Anle herself!
She descended directly upon Shi Changzai, whose mental strength was the weakest!
