At this moment, a dazzling beam of light suddenly shot out from the ground, piercing the sky and rapidly approaching the depths of the vortex.
At the end of the light beam, there is a grid. The grid is square and square, like a giant net spread out on the ground, criss-crossing it, and looking majestic, as if it is a dragnet covering the ground.
But this grid was pushed away by the beam and was rapidly disintegrating at a speed visible to the naked eye.
When the beam of light blended with the vortex deep in the starry sky, the grid was completely shattered. In the bright light of the vortex in the starry sky, the remaining light from the broken grid was swallowed up in an instant.
Disappeared.
call out!
Phew!
Countless beams of light continued to erupt from the ground, just like worshiping, shooting in the direction of the starry sky vortex.
The vortex in the starry sky is like a black hole, with infinite attraction, causing light beams from the ground to rise and fall, and continue to shoot out.
This scene left everyone stunned.
what is happening?
Meteor? Meteor?
This is not right either.
If it were these things, shouldn't they be falling from the sky? How could they be shot from the ground?
How could this thick earth have such strange light beams?
The laser emitted from the ground?
laser weapon?
This idea is too big and obviously cannot withstand scrutiny.
The large and small light beams continued for a full minute. At least dozens of light beams shot into the starry sky like fireworks before the momentum slowly stopped.
Surprisingly, the trembling ground slowly returned to calm.
The shaking feeling was also slowly disappearing.
Finally, the ground returned to calm.
If you just look in the yard, everything is as usual, as if the earth-shattering changes had never happened before, at least in this yard, there is no clue.
Panshiling is deep in the mountains, and there is no human habitation anywhere within a few miles, so they have no way of knowing what is going on in the outside world.
After the ground completely returned to calm, Jiang Yue walked to the door of the courtyard, pushed the door open and walked out.
In the area around the Jiang Family Ancestral Hall, the road surface is intact, and even every plant and tree seems to have not been significantly affected. Including the houses near the Ancestral Hall, they do not seem to have been affected at all, even if there are a few mud houses that do not look strong.
Still standing firm.
Jiang Yue's small building was also safe and sound as far as the eye could see.
However--
Except for the several houses around Jiang's house that were safe and sound, none of the other houses were intact.
Especially those old mud houses, which were already in a precarious state, naturally collapsed completely.
Even if it is a newer house made of cement brick walls, many of them have collapsed. If you are lucky, the walls will only be torn and the house will be crooked.
In serious cases, the wall collapsed and fell crookedly.
But no matter what, it is obvious that these houses that did not completely collapse can no longer be inhabited and have become out-and-out dangerous buildings.
The roads are also very interesting. The dirt road on Jiang's side is intact and flat.
Outside the confines of the Jiang family, the road was full of potholes, with many big holes torn open, and many cracks like spider silk. The cracks were wide enough to accommodate a person.
This shows how terrible the intensity of this earthquake was.
However, when comparing the boundaries of the Jiang family with other places in Panshiling, the visual impact is undoubtedly much stronger.
The territory of the Jiang family was unscathed, but outside the Jiang family, it was devastated.
The facts have become obvious. The Jiang Family Ancestral Hall is definitely protected by unknown forces.
I took out my phone and checked, but there was still no signal.
Of course, Jiang Yue didn't expect a signal at this time.
There was no signal before, and now that there is an earthquake of such magnitude, it is even more impossible for communications to be restored in a short time.
Jiang Yue returned to his small building and checked inside and out. The main body of the house was intact, and not even a piece of window glass fell off. It was as if the earthquake had deliberately avoided this area.
The two cars they drove were parked in the yard and did not suffer any impact.
When Jiang Yue walked to the entrance of the village and looked out, he felt a little worried.
The main road leading to the outside world at the entrance of the village is now torn to pieces. It may be an exaggeration to say that it is riddled with holes, but the strong tearing force has torn the entire road into cracks, leaving the originally smooth road surface.
, it has become high, low, and uneven, making it difficult to walk on, let alone driving.
Jiang Yue frowned, looking at the strange vortex in the sky, and the beams of light from the ground that shot high into the sky slowly extinguished.
And the whirlpool in the starry sky seemed to be a little tired, and slowly dimmed little by little in the starry sky.
When the starry sky vortex completely disappeared, Jiang Yue found that the giant moon that was originally hanging in the sky seemed to be a little brighter.
Jiang Yue stood at the entrance of the village, feeling the fluctuations in the air.
The wonderful power between heaven and earth already exists, but the fluctuations are not as active as before, but they appear more stable, as if they have become a part of heaven and earth, and will become a norm from now on.
Returning to the ancestral hall, Jiang Yue gave an overview of what he saw.
Everyone was surprised when they heard that none of the houses around the Jiang family ancestral hall had collapsed, and they were even more convinced of the magic of the old Jiang family.
Despite such a strong earthquake, the house still stood firm, which made my sister-in-law even more determined to live there for a long time.
"Yue'er, you said that the roads in the village are cracked, and you probably won't be able to get out. Why don't you just stay and live in Panshiling as a family? I think that's fine?"
Sangou was the first to object: "No, no, I can take two days off at most. I want to go back to Star City."
He now frequently claims that he has an organization, and he has a strong sense of identification with the Star City Operations Bureau. What if he doesn't go back, what if he is fired?
Jiang Ying also felt something was wrong: "We still have to go back to Star City, but now the communication has been interrupted again. If I don't go back, I won't feel at ease. I have to report to the military in two days."
Jiang Yue did not express his position for the time being, but said: "We will decide these later. While the great power of heaven and earth is still relatively active now, let's continue to consolidate the first level of mental skills."
This proposal was approved by everyone.
Although the aftermath of the earthquake still tests everyone's nerves from time to time, everyone has gotten used to it and their concentration remains unchanged.
That night, except for my sister-in-law's little cub, who still slept soundly without any care, no one else could sleep for a second.
In the second half of the night, the giant moon slowly set.
In the early morning of the next day, the morning sun rose again, and the hearts of Jiang Yue and others fell back into their stomachs.
Sunshine can always dispel the haze and always give people hope.
Especially after a turbulent and disturbing night, the power and psychological comfort brought by the sun are even more inestimable.
The entire Panshiling mountain village, except for the torn roads and the collapse of some houses, was generally peaceful. At least there were no obvious crises or disasters.
Although the earthquake can be regarded as a natural disaster, Panshiling has long been a deserted village. The family hid in the Jiang Family Ancestral Hall, and apart from feeling obvious shaking, there was no other abnormality.
As morning dawns and the sun rises, everyone's depression is relieved a little.
"I wonder what's going on outside now?" Jiang Ying was worried.
Although she is in Panshiling, her heart still cares about Star City. Unlike Jiang Yue, she has not lived in Panshiling as long as Jiang Yue, and her sense of belonging to Panshiling is not as strong as that of Star City.
"I guess the situation outside won't be much better." Jiang Yue was not optimistic at all.
"If the Panshi Ridge area is the epicenter of the earthquake, then Star City is so far away. Even if it is affected, the earthquake should not be particularly strong." Jiang Ying seemed to comfort herself.
It has to be more than a hundred kilometers from Star City to Panshiling. But this is just a distance, and the distance between the two places must be shorter.
But it’s hard to say whether the Panshiling area was the epicenter of the earthquake.
At least Jiang Yue felt that although the earthquake was felt strongly in the Panshiling area, it was not necessarily the epicenter.
Through his observations last night, he even felt that this earthquake was very strange. Maybe it was not just an earthquake, but something else strange happened.
The beams of light that shot towards the starry sky one after another, some far away and some near, obviously came from all over the world.
It's hard to say that those light beams have nothing to do with this earthquake.
If there is any connection, this is not an earthquake in one place, but a common phenomenon across the entire Gaia planet.
Arriving at the entrance of the village, Jiang Ying looked at the uneven road with cracks everywhere, a sad look on his handsome face.
With the road conditions like this, how can we leave Panshiling and return to Star City?
It’s difficult to leave the village!
What's more, after leaving the village road, how good will the mountain road outside be? Although I haven't seen what the condition of the road outside is like with my own eyes, it's not optimistic just thinking about it.
The car will definitely not be able to drive out.
"Xiao Yue, what should I do?" Jiang Ying was at a loss.
Jiang Yue smiled bitterly: "With this road condition, the car will definitely not be able to drive."
Even though the Ranger is an off-road vehicle with excellent performance, it is still just a four-wheeled vehicle, and the crack is wide enough to accommodate one person.
The wheel passed by and fell directly.
What's more, this kind of cracks are not just in one or two places, but everywhere.
Of course, after this night, they were not without gains. Everyone's physical functions were significantly improved.
Those potholes can be crossed by just lifting your feet.
"Sister, why don't we go outside the village and have a look?"
The people around me were idle, and my aunt and her family were already preparing breakfast.
The three siblings were originally out of the village to explore.
The road out of the village becomes more and more damaged as you go further out.
The widest crack is even three to four meters wide and seven to eight meters deep.
The entire road seemed to have been deeply split by some powerful force, creating a ravine seven or eight meters deep.
Seeing this gully, Jiang Ying completely gave up the idea of driving back to Star City.
Fortunately, the three of them are all awakened ones. In addition, they absorbed the power of heaven and earth that night. This first wave of power of heaven and earth had a significant effect on shaping their bodies.
It is three to four meters wide, and according to their normal strength, it would be impossible for them to jump over it even to death.
But now, they can easily cross it with just one scurry.
It originally took half an hour to walk to the platform on the west side of Dajin Mountain, but now they jogged all the way and arrived in seven or eight minutes.
This mountain road is winding and can lead directly to the outside world and to Star City.
As Jiang Yue and the others expected, the damage to the mountain road was equally serious, and there were a lot of falling rocks on the ground. Before they even got close, they heard gravel falling from the mountain from time to time.
"Don't go there." Jiang Ying stared blankly at the devastated mountain road, knowing that the road back to Star City was completely blocked.
Of course there are other ways, such as going to Yunxi Town where my sister-in-law lives.
To go to Yunxi Town, you also have to walk through the mountain road. In the current situation, rocks are falling constantly, and it is not safe to walk on any mountain road.
What's more, when we get to Yunxi Town, who can guarantee that the road conditions there will be intact and that it can be opened to traffic?
The key is that there is no phone signal, so the family is completely isolated from the outside world.
After returning to Panshiling in a depressed mood, my sister-in-law advised: "Ying, don't worry. If something like this happens, the military will forgive you even if you don't report in time."
"Gu, I'm not just worried about the registration. I'm also worried about the situation in Star City, Crescent Harbor, and Daozi Lane Villa."
Jiang Ying is a girl with a strong sense of family. After her parents disappeared one after another, she took it as her own responsibility to support the family.
Therefore, she attaches great importance to her home in Xingcheng.
When he went out just now and saw the roads on the ground in such ruins, Jiang Ying was undoubtedly filled with a huge shadow. If Star City also felt such a strong earthquake, could the high-rise buildings in Crescent Harbor be able to withstand it?
Even if it survives, will it become a dilapidated building?
"Sister, Daozi Lane Villa should be very earthquake-resistant. A high-rise building like Crescent Harbor should be able to withstand ordinary earthquakes."
"I hope so." Jiang Ying sighed, there was no use just worrying now.
After hastily dealing with it at breakfast, Jiang Ying took Jiang Yue to study a plan to return to Star City.
In fact, there are not many options. The only option is to walk.
It's more than a hundred kilometers long, so walking is not completely impossible.
After all, their current physical conditions are all awakened people far beyond ordinary people. If it is more than 100 kilometers, Jiang Yue's calculation should be able to reach Star City in one day.
But the premise is that there are no emergencies and the road conditions are normal.
"Sister, it's easy for the three of us to handle it, but in this situation, my sister-in-law and the others..."
Jiang Ying said: "My sister-in-law's intention is very clear. She still wants to stay in Panshiling."
My sister-in-law came to live in Panshiling, obviously because she wanted to experience an opportunity, an opportunity for awakening.
Therefore, it is basically impossible to persuade her to return to Star City.
If she could be persuaded so easily, there would be no need to go all out and go back to Panshiling.
Besides, the road conditions along the way obviously made it impossible for my sister-in-law and her family to make the trek.
After the first wave of the majestic power of heaven and earth last night, although my sister-in-law did not have an obvious opportunity to trigger her awakening, the shaping of heaven and earth as an example has obviously transformed her body. Although she is not an official awakener now, her strength may be the opposite.
Better than some awakened ones.
After all, there are not many people in this world who can actively absorb the power of heaven and earth from the first wave.
My sister-in-law guided the power of heaven and earth to shape her physical body through the Jiang family's secret method. In terms of this creation alone, it actually far surpassed most awakened people.
My uncle has gained more or less, and he should have reached the level of an ordinary awakened person.
But since their power is not self-awakening, it does not come from the inside out, but from the outside in, so strictly speaking, they are not yet awakened.
In other words, they still have opportunities to awaken.
