Quick Transmigration: The Charismatic Woman Uses Her Stunning Beauty to Complete Missions

Chapter 173 Metaphysical True and False Bronze Inscriptions: False Gold 23

To the southwest of the oasis, there is a row of wooden houses, and smoke is rising from their chimneys, indicating that there are definitely people living there.

Shen Chumo walked cautiously toward the wooden house.

Tuanzi suddenly spoke up to warn, "Mo Mo, be careful, there might be someone behind you!"

Shen Chumo turned around abruptly and saw the eagle-eyed man from the special department standing behind her, looking at her in surprise, perhaps because he didn't expect Shen Chumo to be able to discover his whereabouts.

The eagle-eyed man put his index finger to his lips, signaling her to be quiet, and then gestured for Shen Chumo to follow him.

Shen Chumo nodded and carefully followed behind the eagle-eyed man. The two of them traversed the oasis and arrived at a relatively secluded place.

The eagle-eyed man stopped and turned to Shen Chumo, saying seriously, "I'm sorry about earlier. I didn't mean to scare you from behind, but the cabin was too dangerous, and I had to stop you from going there."

Shen Chumo's heart tightened, and she asked, "What did you discover?"

Speaking of this, the hawk-eyed man's expression turned serious, and his brows furrowed slightly. "I arrived earlier than you and happened to see a group of... monsters living in this oasis."

The eagle-eyed man's eyes widened with apprehension as he thought of the monsters.

"What monster?"

"They have lizard heads, are covered in scales, and have a tail full of barbs that can snap a tree in two with a flick of the wrist."

"Isn't that just like the lizardmen in comics...?"

The hawk-eyed man nodded: "You're right to call them lizardmen."

Shen Chumo frowned slightly, not expecting that there really were monsters on this oasis.

"Besides the lizardmen, did you see anyone else?"

The eagle-eyed man shook his head. "I was far away from them and didn't dare to get close, so I didn't see anyone else, but I felt that the lizardman was dangerous, and this oasis is probably not peaceful either."

Shen Chumo fell into deep thought. The interior of this labyrinthine space was intricate and complex, with bizarre creatures appearing one after another. Rescuing people from this place would be as difficult as climbing to the sky.

Moreover, if the entrance to this space continues to appear in real life, even if people are rescued this time, there will still be people trapped inside the space in the future.

The special forces' mission this time should include more than just rescuing people.

The goal is also to study this labyrinthine space in order to find a way to sever its connection with the real world.

They were oversimplifying things; it was absolutely impossible for them to do it with their current methods.

The eagle-eyed man looked at Shen Chumo, who was deep in thought, coughed lightly, and said in a low voice, "Are you worried about your master?"

Shen Chumo raised her eyes, then shook her head. "My master is very capable. I believe she will be alright."

"But may I ask you, since your special department has made preparations to enter this labyrinthine space, how do you plan to rescue people?"

The hawk-eyed man's profile was as sharp as a knife. He gazed into the distance and said...

“We are all equipped with spatial fluctuation detectors, so we can sense the exit as soon as it appears.”

Shen Chumo nodded. That was a method, but it still depended on luck.

She didn't ask any further questions. With Tuanzi around, she could sense the exit as soon as it appeared, so she wasn't worried about getting out.

"Okay, let's first determine if there are any humans living in this oasis. If not, we'll find a way to leave."

The man with eagle eyes suddenly said, "Since we're going to work together, let me introduce myself. My name is Gu Qing, and I'm the captain of the third team of the special department."

Shen Chumo smiled. "My name is Shen Chumo, and I am a disciple of Fairy Qianyu."

Shen Chumo... Gu Qing rolled those three words in his mouth, "A very nice name."

"Thank you, your name suits your personality very well."

Gu Qing has a cold and stern face. When he has a cold expression, he gives people an invisible sense of oppression. His sharp eyes seem to be able to see through people's hearts, just like a hunting eagle.

After the two introduced themselves, the atmosphere seemed to relax a bit.

Shen Chumo then took out some invisibility talismans and speed talismans and gave them to Gu Qing, "These invisibility talismans are the same ones Master gave you before. Anyway, I have many more here."

You should carry several with you. Another type of talisman is the Swiftness Talisman; its function is exactly as its name suggests. If you encounter danger, you can use it to escape.

Gu Qing looked at the talisman handed to him with some helplessness. In his eyes, Shen Chumo was the one who needed protection, but it seemed that in her eyes, he was the one who needed to be taken care of.

He shook his head slightly and said, "Keep them for yourself. These talismans are also very important to you. I have my own ability to deal with danger."

Shen Chumo insisted, "Take them. It's always good to have an extra layer of protection. In this labyrinthine space, no one knows what dangers we might encounter. Besides, I have many more of these talismans, so don't worry about me."

Looking into Shen Chumo's determined eyes, Gu Qing felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

He no longer refused, took the talisman, and said earnestly, "Okay, thank you."

Gu Qing took out a pistol and handed it to Shen Chumo, saying, "Since that's the case, you should also accept this gun. It might come in handy at a crucial moment."

"Thank you."

Shen Chumo did not refuse. Although guns were not very effective against ghosts and monsters, they were still somewhat useful against flesh-and-blood monsters like lizardmen.

Moreover, guns are hard to come by, so storing them in the space allows them to be used in other worlds.

After the two finished preparing, they affixed invisibility talismans, and the other person's figure gradually disappeared from sight. These invisibility talismans were truly magical.

However, once they become invisible, they cannot see each other, cannot communicate, and would not even know if they got separated.

In order to find out where the other was, the two decided to walk hand in hand.

When Gu Qing held Shen Chumo's hand, the man who was always known as ruthless by his teammates actually had a slight sweat on his palm.

How come he never knew before that girls' hands could be so soft?

Before it got completely dark, the two headed toward the cabin.

The closer they got to the cabin, the stronger the nauseating smell became. The two men looked grave and moved forward cautiously.

When they arrived at the front of the cabin, the scene before them sent chills down their spines.

Several lizardmen were busy in the open space in front of the wooden house. The smoke rising from the cooking fire was coming from several large stone pots, and there was bloodstains and blood-stained clothes around the pots.

The broth in the pot kept bubbling, and human remains could be vaguely seen inside.

Five other people were tied together nearby, staring at the pot of boiling water, covering their mouths and crying out in despair.

Shen Chumo clenched her fists; the scene was truly unsettling.

She desperately wanted to rush up and rescue those people.

Gu Qing stopped her, signaling her not to act impulsively; now was not the time.

Shen Chumo calmed down and continued to observe, discovering that there were more lizardmen than she had imagined. At a glance, there were more than a dozen lizardmen active outside, making this place look like a tribe.

There's a huge rock behind those five people. You can go over there and talk to them to see if there are any others.

Gu Qing and Shen Chumo went around from the side.

The two were very careful, not daring to make a sound.

Just as it passed by a lizardman, its nose suddenly started twitching in the air, as if it could smell the scent around them.
