2615 A Massive Tragedy (1/2)

In conclusion, the situation was very much like the Japanese invasion in China. The invaders brazened into the land and acted brutally with the help of their advanced weapons.

Gu Xijiu's heart sank at the realization. Her two-year absence from the Starry Crescent Land had caused such a massive tragedy.

The Starry Crescent Land had been around for so many years but was never visited by any foreign troops from the future. What brought them here this time? How did it happen?

Gu Xijiu once read about a sci-fi novel about the possibility of inventing a time-traveling machine that allowed travelers to venture from one time period to another. She did not quite believe the theory at first, but she did not doubt it now. Seeing was believing.

The technological advancement in the year 2348 was beyond amazing. Occupied in her thoughts, she did not notice something that came from above.

”My Lord, look out!” One of the mermaids warned.

Gu Xijiu looked up and saw a round spiral vortex above her. The vortex sucked up all the armed men from the deck. Once it was done, the place was peaceful again for a second before a large green net fell on Gu Xijiu and the mermaids.

The net was made with a special material that was rather dense and firm, like a layer of soft metal. Gu Xijiu tried to break the net with her bare hands but did not manage to damage it. Instead, she could feel a steady flow of electricity on her fingertips as soon as she touched the metal.

Without any spiritual power to protect her, she would pass out upon touching the electrified net. Fortunately for her, the sensation faded away as soon as she used her spiritual power to suppress it.

With nowhere to go, the three mermaids were frightened out of their wits and immediately regretted that they did not seize the opportunity to run away when Gu Xijiu was dealing with the bad men.

”My Lord, what should we do?”
