Otherworldly Desert Dust-Chapter 424 379: Unable to Escape Through Own Strength

"Hey, countryman, I'm Chen Fanfan. Do you know who I am?" The girl's face brightened with joy, clearly indicating she was truly in trouble, otherwise she wouldn't have mentioned her real name immediately.

"It seems I've heard of you. You're quite famous in Silver Dome City; I often see major era advertisements about you. Aren't you a powerful Spirit Awakener? How did you end up in this situation?" Wu Hen said.

Once the other party mentioned her real name, Wu Hen recognized her.

After the Virtual Era began, many talented Spirit Awakeners emerged in the homeland. They adapted incredibly quickly and grew at a rapid pace. Their new minds were particularly effective, often surpassing their predecessors in astounding ways.

This Chen Fanfan, Wu Hen remembered Shen Wenhai mentioning her. She was a new Auditory Awakener he kept a close eye on, and she was also a Fourth Rank.

Generally, those who are blessed by Nuwa Yan have made significant contributions and show great potential. Chen Fanfan was also recognized by Nuwa Yan.

"I was extraditing someone, but unexpectedly, I encountered a plundering city. They possess super technology we can't yet comprehend. Seeing the situation was off, I surrendered decisively," Chen Fanfan explained.

"Isn't this just an Evil Town? With your strength, you should be able to handle it, unless you've just recently awakened?" Wu Hen asked, puzzled.

"No, I've been awake in this host body for a while, but the host has been severely affected by the Dark Radiation. Many of my abilities are unusable. Yet, her identity is quite special, and she could be a great help in Cang Chu Divine Realm. I want to extradite her," Chen Fanfan continued.

The path of extradition proved more difficult than finding the Pure Yuan You.

"There's still some time before Divine Realm reaches Cang Chu. Your haste in extraditing could easily lead to mishaps," Wu Hen remarked.

"Exactly, I've been nervously hiding among wanderers and travelers these days, trying to ensure this host survives, and then waiting for the arrival of Nuwa's Divine-end… But now you see my situation. I'm trapped here, and they even want me to entertain guests. I've secretly taken care of the past few days' guests violently, even got them to give me five-star reviews, but the problem was discovered. Today they sent people to watch me, and I was figuring out how to deal with it when I ran into a fellow townsman. If they really want me to entertain guests, I might have to abandon this host. Back in the homeland, I'm still a pure maiden, I can't dirty my heart and soul in Otherworld," Chen Fanfan explained.

Hearing her refer to herself as a pure maiden, Wu Hen couldn't help but laugh.

Awakening is a special Divine-end Principle. Although Mother Nuwa tries to have everyone awaken in a Lost One that matches their original temperament and age, most of the time, they end up playing different roles in Otherworld.

Moreover, nearly everyone encounters a difficult situation upon awakening and must use their intelligence to break through.

After all, if the hosts weren't facing dilemmas so dire that choices between advancement, retreat, life, and death are nearly impossible, how could they become lost?

Therefore, no matter what realm they attained, as long as they awakened, they would fall into predicament with their hosts where might alone couldn't always resolve the problem.

Chen Fanfan was evidently no exception.

In the homeland, she was a well-known newcomer in the Silver Dome, like a star of the era.

But in this Otherworld, she was a down-and-out streetwalker, seeing her clean soul about to be sullied, and she was desperate to escape...

"Don't panic just yet. I have the local currency here and can ensure you're fine for a few days, but helping you leave might be difficult since I also have a challenging mission here that might even need your help," Wu Hen said.

"This place is full of criminals. I've even made myself look hideous to try and protect myself. Your host body is clean and who knows, some brute might carry you off. Even though it's just the soul body, won't you feel disgusted when you return to the homeland?" Chen Fanfan said.

"..." Wu Hen hadn't considered that.

"Help me escape, and I'll give you the most advanced set of fighting clothes!" Chen Fanfan stated.

"I need to ask you something first—answer me," Wu Hen demanded, his tone growing serious.

"Why don't you trust me? This is a Dragon Pond and Tiger Cave; we can't handle our current situation," Chen Fanfan said anxiously.

"Has there been anything unusual recently in this Evil City, like, say, engines starting at night, or have you seen any huge entities beneath the ground?" Wu Hen asked.

"Every night, it's like there's an earthquake beneath our feet. I suspect there's an Underground Kingdom under this city, but there's a curfew in place, and we're not allowed out at night," Chen Fanfan explained.

Upon hearing this, Wu Hen was certain—Grand Canyon City was right beneath this Evil City!

Iron Eagle City possessed the Sky Light Concealment Ability, so even in a clear blue sky devoid of clouds, it's difficult for the towns on the ground to spot this massive city soaring high above.

Similarly, Grand Canyon City had the ability to burrow into the earth. In a very short time, they could hide underground, revealing only a corner of the city, disguised as a rich, easily plundered town. When stronger, larger towns or cities came to hunt, they would emerge from underground, like huge desert lizards.

Since Chen Fanfan was a Fourth Rank in Hearing, her depiction of the Underground Kingdom was undoubtedly accurate. Grand Canyon City was now right beneath their feet in this Water Fir Wetland, and unlike Steel Eagle City, which always had to fly in the sky, the energy expended after going underground would significantly reduce, allowing them to remain hidden for a very long time.

"This Wei Yan truly is a fearsome battle general," Wu Hen couldn't help but sigh, "compared to him, Chi Luo is like a rookie." The gap between the leaders of the two Living Cities was too large; probably only the crafty old fox, Levi, could wrestle with Wei Yan.

Even so, the hardware of Steel Eagle City seemed to be inferior to that of Grand Canyon City.

Though Grand Canyon City also required a lot of Dark Energy to power its nine-headed body, they possessed other technologies that could gather underground Fire Energy. Coupled with the terrifying technology of the Ten Thousand Melt Evil Cauldron, which incinerated everything, they were constantly developing and growing stronger.

"Their target is the biological battery technology of Steel Eagle City. Once they seize the biological battery technology, it's like adding an extremely powerful energy driver. With the biological battery technology, they are truly evolving toward a living state nation!" Wu Hen gasped involuntarily.

Grand Canyon City had a clear target, a well-defined strategy, and all the conditions to grow stronger.

In contrast, Steel Canyon City overly relied on hunting, its technology for energy gathering was outdated, and its energy needs were particularly singular. Should any issues arise, the entire city would immediately come to a halt, leading to a split state... it was baffling what Chi Luo was truly confident about!

"Bro, help me out," Chen Fanfan started using her Fierce Woman Coquetry Skill.

Her coquetry was stiff, almost dislocating Wu Hen's arm. Wu Hen, annoyed, pulled his arm out and said, "If you can't be sweet, being salty isn't bad either. I will help you, but I need to deal with some matters first."

"What big matter could you possibly have?" Chen Fanfan rolled her eyes.

As a grown man wandering this otherworldly pleasure town, he probably wasn't considered a model youth back in his homeland; Chen Fanfan naturally assumed that Wu Hen had no serious business to attend to.

"Has your Fourth Rank Hearing evolved in vain? Can't you use sonar to find out what's beneath us?" Wu Hen said irritably.

"There are restrictions below; I can't delve deep with my hearing," Chen Fanfan explained.

"Then do you know who's in charge of this Evil City, or can you tell me where the main control room is? My friend and I plan to hijack this Evil City. You can't possibly outrun the technology here just by running, and wandering outside is extremely unsafe. You might as well join us in seizing control of this city and escape with it," Wu Hen said.

"You're not just visiting the brothels??" Chen Fanfan asked, somewhat surprised.

"I'm here to gather information," Wu Hen declared, "I have a power backing me, and with your current view, you can't even comprehend the center of this vast battlefield you're in. Listen to me, tell me where the main control room is, and which group controls this city. I will ensure your successful escape."

"With my view??" Chen Fanfan bristled at the remark.

What was wrong with her view?

Her view was broad. She understood Cang Chu Divine Realm better than many who boasted of being top Evolvers back in her homeland. She had also adapted to the different rules of this place earlier than others; she had merely encountered a bit of trouble, and even without this Wu Sangui, she had other ways to resolve it.

"Why are you being so stubborn?" Wu Hen said, also irritated.

"I'm Chen Fanfan, well-known in my homeland, the future leader of Silver Dome City. Why should I listen to you? What if your plan is terrible?" Chen Fanfan retorted, annoyed.

"If it's like that, I'm going to talk in a big way to you." Wu Hen didn't want to waste any more time, deciding to reveal his true identity as the human leader.

"Then you should clearly explain your plan to me," Chen Fanfan said, "If I blindly follow you and something goes wrong, and you escape by invoking Yuan You, I'll suffer here."

"Do you know about Grand Canyon City?" Wu Hen asked.

Chen Fanfan shook her head.

"Do you know about Steel Eagle City?" Wu Hen continued.

Chen Fanfan still shook her head.

Wu Hen was tired of talking; clearly, Chen Fanfan was not aware of Da Xuan's major technologies. Explaining it for days and nights would not be as impactful as taking her to the Underground Kingdom right beneath their feet when night fell.

Moreover, Chen Fanfan's idea of escaping by herself was naive.

She didn't know that this Water Fir Wetland was not only constrained by Steel Eagle City's underground restrictions but also by Grand Canyon City's Eagle Capture Formation!

The dark currents of the two great cities had long filled this area, forming a vast vortex. Individuals were like bugs in the whirlpool of dark currents, utterly unable to escape by their own power!
