The sky was faintly blood red, there was no sun, there was only a blood red fluttering cloud layer, the cloud layer was very low, like countless swollen cotton sheets that might fall down at any time.
There was no grass on the ground, just some sticky black soil.
In the middle of the black land, there is a gray road that leads straight to a tall, dilapidated black sentry tower in the distance.
Lin Xin walked slowly on the gray road. There was no one around. Not only people, but also bugs and small animals could not be seen at all. Looking around, there was an endless black wasteland on both sides.
There was nothing on the wasteland, only piles of densely raised graves. There were so many graves that Lin Xin originally planned to count them, but had no choice but to give up.
The wind whined, very loud, like some kind of weird human voice crying.
Lin Xin followed the method recorded on the jade slip and rushed here without any pause.
As early as three days ago, he had not seen any people around him. At that time, he still remembered that several farmers living on the roadside looked at him, as if they were dead. They were numb and showed no emotion.
Since five days ago, all the people Lin Xin saw were old people in their twilight years. They were lonely, old, sick, rotten, and lifeless. Even the monsters were too lazy to eat these lifeless guys.
When he came back to his senses, Lin Xin had already reached the abandoned sentry tower without realizing it.
The sentry tower is more than ten meters high, cylindrical in shape, with auxiliary towers on both sides. There are pits and gaps everywhere on the black stone wall, and the traces of some swords and claw marks are also clearly visible.
Walking forward, he gently touched the paw prints on the wall.
The wall was very hard. He pressed hard to activate the spiritual energy, but it was only slightly dented.
There is actually a creature that can leave claw marks on it. You can imagine how powerful it is.
"This is the Yangmo border. How to get out?"
Lin Xin crossed the guard tower and continued walking forward. However, he found that he could not go very far.
After walking for more than ten steps, he turned back and saw that the sentry tower was still a few meters behind him.
He stepped on his feet and flew into the air. He shot forward. After shooting a certain distance, he turned around and saw that the sentry tower still hadn't moved and was still only a few meters away from him.
"This is the edge of space"
Lin Xin stopped. No more wasted effort.
"I specially found an area between patrollers. No one will come here in a short time."
He recalled the contents of the jade slip.
'The methods of entering and exiting the yang membrane are: first, the alchemy master forcibly tears it, and the yang membrane can repair itself, and the crack will have little impact. Second, there are fixed entrance and exit buildings, which are controlled by the major sects and immortal sects. Third, enter the gap and jump
out.'
"It seems I can only choose the third option." Lin Xin took out the spiritual jade he had prepared in advance. Pieces of spiritual jade as thick as his thumb were arranged on the ground, forming a somewhat complicated pattern.
Entering the gap requires spending a lot of spiritual jade. Lin Xin is also very wealthy, so he harvested more than ten pieces of spiritual jade from the White Tiger Demon King. Generally, only one piece is enough for the formation, but now this formation actually requires ten pieces.
.
"Such a formation can only open for a few blinks of an eye at most, so we must seize the opportunity."
He set up the formation, and slowly drew link formation patterns between the spiritual jade with his fingers, as well as some twisted basic formation symbols.
The spiritual energy slowly flows like a thread, connecting the pieces of spiritual jade together.
Half squatting on the ground, Lin Xin drew the final strokes of the formation and slowly stood up.
"With the help of the power of the Lingyu Formation, we can only break through to somewhere in the gap. We still have to travel a long distance after that." He watched as the formation on the ground began to slowly light up with white light.
laugh!
The white light shot up more than two meters high and turned into a white line, standing in front of Lin Xin.
Lin Xin quickly stretched out his hand, dug in from the middle of the white line, and tore it to both sides.
A tearing sound.
Following the white line, a hole was torn open in the space, revealing another dark and gray space inside.
It's like an oil painting being peeled back to reveal the underlying frame.
A large amount of gray gas seeped in from the crack, and Lin Xin quickly dived in and released the white thread.
In the blink of an eye, the openings closed together again, the white light dimmed, the formation on the ground suddenly collapsed, and all the spiritual jade instantly turned into white ash and was blown away by the wind.
***************************
In the gray sky, a huge red moon like an eye pupil is slowly releasing a shimmering light like a red gauze.
Lin Xin stepped into the gap, and as soon as his feet touched the ground, his body suddenly tilted.
Looking down, the ground is actually slanted.
He seemed to be standing on a slope. The seventy-degree slope was covered with black soil. Some black dead trees and grass seemed to defy gravity, growing vertically at ninety degrees to the sloped ground.
At a glance, he saw that amid the hazy gray mist, there were endless black soil hills in the distance, and he could vaguely see a small square stone house standing not far away.
Like those dead trees and grass, the stone houses and hills were the same. It was as if he suddenly came into a tilted oil painting that had been placed crookedly. Only he was upright, and everything else was along a straight line.
Placed at an oblique angle.
Lin Xin stepped hard on the ground with his shoes, stood up straight, and the cracks opened by the formation behind him were instantly closed and repaired.
He looked around and saw that there was gray mist everywhere and the sky was dark, with only a little red light from the moon shining down.
"Is this the gap?"
He concentrated his vision, scanned his surroundings, and saw in the darkness on the far right, something like a four-legged animal crawling slowly on the ground.
When he first came to the Outland, Lin Xin wanted to try to get in touch with the creatures in the gap first. The Gap was a place that was polluted by the Outland, but it was not very serious. It was a buffer zone, and the creatures should not be too strong and suitable for adapting to the environment.
He walked gently towards the creature.
The gravity of the sloping ground was also skewed, so he was careful not to let himself slide down the other side of the slant. Fortunately, he had excellent qinggong and his aura was under his feet. Once he got used to it, he could easily absorb the ground.
As the distance got closer, the creature seemed to be aware of Lin Xin.
It suddenly made a move, turned sideways, and suddenly started running, running directly towards Lin Xin.
Ho ho ho
Waves of sounds like violent breathing came.
Lin Xin held the hilt of the villa's standard Soul Heart Sword. When the creature came closer and saw its full appearance, he was also shocked.
The creature was not an animal at all, but a human lying on the ground on all fours.
The man was covered in blue-grey, only wearing a pair of tattered gray leather pants. As soon as he saw Lin Xin, his bald head suddenly laughed strangely. His neck stretched like a noodle, and his whole head flew up and opened wide.
The mouth bit Lin Xin's face.
Lin Xin was faced with a stench that assaulted his nostrils. Without even looking, he flashed his sword.
The weird man's head was split in half with a sword and fell to the ground. After struggling for a few times, it turned into white smoke and flew away, and his body also turned into white smoke and disappeared.
"The speed is not bad. If it is ordinary innate, even those at the sixth or seventh level may not be able to react." Lin Xin made a comprehensive judgment. "When the blade is cut, it is equivalent to an eighth-level aura shield and is stronger. It is indeed powerful, and overall it is equivalent to
A monk at the seventh level of Xiantian."
This was the first creature I encountered, and it was so tricky.
Lin Xin finally understood why the sect did not pay much attention to the disciples below the innate level. Even an ordinary creature could not be defeated in the gap, and being sent to the outer realm would only lead to death.
After carefully examining the traces left by the creature, Lin Xin got a small piece of white stuff that seemed to be a bone fragment. He put it away and carefully moved along the sloping ground.
When we came to the black stone house we just saw, the door was open and there was nothing but some hay.
Continuing to move forward, Lin Xin recalled the direction of the landmark mentioned on the jade slip and walked straight to the northeast.
Soon, another crawling monster appeared in front of him. Before he could react, Lin Xin swept past him and pierced his forehead with a sword.
The weirdo turned into white smoke and disappeared again, harvesting a piece of white bone.
Lin Xin was getting used to the sloping ground here and continued walking in one direction.
Surrounded by endless black hills, the strange thing was that he would often see sparse small stone houses, some of which were empty, while others still had remaining pots and pans.
Living utensils.
After about a few hours of driving, the fog gradually thinned in front of us.
Lin Xin stopped, found a stone house and went in. He also found some dry firewood from around and took out flints to start a fire.
The red fire light suddenly lit up in the gray gap. Just after the fire was lit, Lin Xin vaguely heard bursts of crackling sounds coming from outside, as if something was jumping.
is approaching.
He stood up and looked out from the door of the stone house. He saw a few vague figures in the distance outside the door, jumping towards this side.
"This is"
He looked carefully and immediately discovered that these figures were male and female, old and young, but they all had one characteristic, that is, they only had one leg in their lower body.
A pair of legs that are much thicker and longer than ordinary people. These people are not wearing clothes, and their skin is in tatters, hanging on their bodies like rags, exposing the white muscles underneath. The way they walk is to move forward step by step.
Jump like a flea.
"Humans cannot have white muscles. It seems that these are not human beings." Lin Xin slowly drew out his long sword.
The sword energy shot out from the tip of the sword with a hiss, making a small hole in the ground.
laugh!
Lin Xin raised his sword with one hand and slashed out an arc-shaped sword energy that flew out, slashing towards these one-legged men like an arc.
Bang!
The sword energy did not cut off the opponent as Lin Xin imagined, but turned into huge force and knocked the two one-legged men in front of them to the ground, and then automatically collapsed.
The one-legged man who was knocked over got up again and jumped towards this side. Surprisingly, there were only a few scratches on his body.
"Even the ninth-level sword energy is not good enough." Lin Xin slightly frowned. (To be continued.)
