In the sky,
Chu Chen and his group were flying quickly.
Of course, Ji Zi and the others couldn't fly.
But they couldn't resist Chu Chen using his Pull Technique to pull them along.
As the saying goes, magic is dead, but people are alive.
Since the Pull Technique can pull objects,
it can naturally be used to pull people as well.
At this moment, Chu Chen was treating Ji Zi and the others like puppets, using invisible strings to drag them through the air.
However, for Chu Chen now, this action was quite draining.
It caused his flight speed to decrease considerably.
But even if he flew slower, it was still much faster than running on the ground.
Therefore, after about five or six hours,
they arrived at their destination.
"We're here, this should be the area where the Star Core is located."
The group descended from the sky to the ground,
beginning to observe their surroundings.
"Uh... it seems like there's no difference compared to other places."
March 7th walked around the area, taking a look, but she found that it was just like the previous areas.
It was nothing but ice everywhere.
She didn't see anything else.
"Well... we've only reached the range where the Star Core is located."
"As for the more precise location, it's still unclear."
"This might just be the outer area, so there isn't much of a change."
Walther pondered for a moment before expressing his opinion.
"Dan Heng, is there any way to further narrow down the location of the Star Core?" Ji Zi walked up to Dan Heng and asked.
"... The energy interference here is very strong."
"It's very difficult to accurately pinpoint the location."
"However, I will try my best."
"But I don't think you should have too high hopes."
Dan Heng took out his phone, tapped on it a few times, and couldn't help but shake his head.
"It's okay, as long as we're sure it's within this range, we'll definitely be able to find clues."
"Alright, you guys rest here for a while."
"I'll go investigate the nearby area alone."
"If I find any clues, I'll come back and tell you."
At this time, Chu Chen pondered for a while before preparing to investigate on his own.
"Ah?"
"Chu Chen, you're going to investigate alone?"
"No! What if you encounter danger?"
March 7th immediately stopped Chu Chen upon hearing that he wanted to leave alone.
"March 7th is right, Chu Chen, you can't go into danger alone."
At this time, Ji Zi and the others came up to Chu Chen and started to dissuade him.
"Don't worry, I'll be much faster alone than if we move together."
"As for danger..."
"Don't you guys trust my strength?"
"If I really encounter any danger, even if I can't solve it, I can escape quickly."
"If you're really worried, then do this."
"If I haven't come back after an hour, you guys come and look for me."
"Will that do?"
Seeing everyone disagreeing with him going to investigate alone,
Chu Chen couldn't help but feel a little helpless.
Rather than sitting here idle, it would be better for him to take the initiative and, with his unmatched flight speed,
scan this entire area.
After all, his speed alone was naturally incomparable to when he was dragging everyone along.
Without the burden of others, he wouldn't need an hour to fly several laps around this area.
That would be called efficiency!
"This... okay!"
"That is indeed the most efficient approach."
"But Chu Chen, you must remember, no matter what you encounter, don't linger too long."
"You must return and face it with us."
Seeing that Chu Chen was adamant, Walther
knew he couldn't persuade him,
so he could only nod and agree to Chu Chen's actions.
"But... Uncle Yang!"
"March 7th, trust him!"
At this time, March 7th wanted to say something else,
but Ji Zi pulled her back.
"Ugh... alright."
"Then Chu Chen, you have to be careful!"
"Be careful!"
"Don't be reckless!"
March 7th gave Chu Chen countless warnings, reminding him to pay attention to his safety.
"Don't worry, I'll be back soon."
Chu Chen gave everyone a reassuring smile and prepared to leave.
"Dimodemode! (Buddy, I'm going too!)"
At this time, Dimode, who had been inseparable from Amy, came to Chu Chen's side,
wanting to go with him.
The Goddess is important, but his buddy is equally important!
To Dimode, both are of equal standing!
Therefore, now that Chu Chen was going to face danger,
as a buddy, he had to go along!
"You're going too?"
"It's better not."
"Once I leave, you're the pillar of support here!"
"I'm counting on you, my buddy, to protect everyone."
"You stay here."
"Besides, I'm just going to scout, not to take risks, so there's no need to make such a big deal about it."
Chu Chen looked at Dimode's resolute gaze and felt a little touched.
He was his closest buddy,
and he was deeply concerned for his safety.
However, as he said,
after he left, Dimode and Uncle Yang would be the ones with the highest combat strength in the group.
Uncle Yang wouldn't easily make a full-scale attack,
so the one they could rely on would be Dimode, who was no weaker than Chu Chen.
Therefore, leaving Dimode behind to guard was very necessary.
His trip wasn't to single-handedly subdue the Star Core, but only to scout, so there was really no need to team up with Dimode.
"Dimodemodemode! (Okay, don't worry, I'm here, no one can hurt them!)"
Dimode didn't insist, patted his little chest, then returned to Amy's side and continued to cuddle with her.
He understood his buddy's personality and knew that Chu Chen wouldn't put him in danger.
Therefore, he didn't worry too much that Chu Chen would actually be in danger.
"Everyone, I'll go ahead, wait for my good news."
Chu Chen smiled and waved to everyone, then flew off quickly towards the distance under everyone's gaze.
....
Alone and lightly equipped,
Chu Chen no longer had to worry about anything,
he went all out,
using his fastest speed to fly.
At this speed,
he quickly scanned most of this area.
However, to his surprise,
he didn't find any unusual places.
"How could this be?"
"I've flown almost the entire area, how could I not find even a single anomaly?"
"This is unreasonable!"
Chu Chen stopped in the air, gazing at the endless expanse of ice below, feeling a little suspicious in his heart.
He was sure that he hadn't missed anything.
But he hadn't even found a single trace.
And besides the Star Core,
he hadn't even seen a single crack in the world!
But the more there were no traces, the more it indicated that this place was unusual!
Therefore, Chu Chen decided to find a different way to search!
Since he couldn't find anything by just looking,
then he would try to attack this area,
to see if anything would be revealed!
So, Chu Chen picked up his staff, flew along the area again,
and wherever he passed, he threw a few Star Magic spells to test.
This time, Chu Chen really did test out some differences!
"The Star Magic landed in this area, but it disappeared directly?"
Chu Chen came to an empty place,
casually rubbed a star and threw it.
But he watched as his star disappeared right before his eyes.
This instantly made him understand,
this was clearly the unusual place!
"The space here is strange."
"If we enter rashly, we might get stuck."
"To be cautious, I'll bring everyone here to discuss it before making a decision."
Chu Chen wasn't arrogant enough to directly explore alone,
but planned to gather everyone and then make a plan.
His current strength wasn't yet to the point where he could be fearless, so it was better to be cautious.
So Chu Chen memorized the location of this place and turned to leave.
........
After another long journey,
Chu Chen brought everyone back to this strange place.
"Chu Chen, is this the place you found?"
"But I didn't find anything!"
March 7th arrived and couldn't help but look around.
However, she couldn't see anything.
The area was calm and peaceful, not at all like there was anything unusual.
"If it were that easy to find, I wouldn't have flown around several times and still found nothing."
"Try throwing some magic spells over there randomly."
Chu Chen pointed in a direction for March 7th, asking her to attack there.
"Okay, I'll try."
"Fireball, whoosh!"
March 7th rubbed a fireball in her hand, then threw it like a sandbag.
The fireball drew a beautiful arc, seemingly about to land on the ground, but suddenly disappeared.
"Oh?"
"This space... is strange!"
Walther saw the clue and couldn't help but come closer.
"Uncle Yang, what's going on with this space?"
Chu Chen stood next to Walther, puzzled.
"If I'm not mistaken."
"The space here should have been distorted by the energy of the Star Core!"
"The distorted space has folded, so we can't see its true appearance."
Walther pondered for a moment before explaining to Chu Chen.
"Then what should we do?" Chu Chen looked up at Walther, still puzzled.
"Since the inner space has folded, the only way to restore it..."
"... is to restore it from the inside!"
After saying this, Walther
took a few steps forward, and his figure disappeared on the spot.
