Chapter 874 Arrival (two-in-one super large chapter please vote for me)
"Are we going to find the space where Jie An is now?"
Li Cheng looked up at the empty darkness outside the boat, and wisps of lightning flashed from his eyes.
The long-term 'erosion' of angel-level power allowed him to vaguely feel the 'bubbles' existing in the void.
Although he could only feel a vague shadow, he could feel that the 'small boat' they were on was quickly traveling through the void.
"To be precise, we should have arrived near the space where Jie An is now."
He Ao turned his head and looked at a surging bubble next to him.
The shape of this bubble is similar to that of Goya's previous bubble, and the unstable aura that was just created spreads around it, but the structure seems to be much 'thicker' than Goya's bubble.
It is the farthest away from the bubble that Ho Ao was in before, and closest to the core area, and is hidden among a bunch of bubbles.
After leaving the vicinity of Li Cheng's bubble space, He Ao spent a lot of effort to find this bubble.
However, what is different from the previous bubbles of Goya and Li Cheng is that although this bubble has some tear marks on the surface, indicating that someone has fought inside, the overall situation is now stable and unusually quiet.
"Is there something wrong with Jian?"
Li Cheng also followed He Ao's gaze. In his field of vision, the shadow of the stable bubble could be vaguely seen. He also noticed the quietness of the bubble and said with some confusion,
"But according to his strength, he can't be easily defeated in such a short period of time."
"I'll go in and take a look."
He Ao opened his hand, and a wisp of ash was suspended in the air, floating towards Li Cheng, "This wisp of ashes can maintain the existence of this boat. After figuring out the situation, I will attack the core of this bubble from the inside. You will cooperate with us to attack from the outside.
Tear this bubble as quickly as possible."
This bubble is different from Li Cheng's bubble that had just been torn from the inside. It is a complete bubble. The outer wall of the bubble has a dense layer of extraordinary structure, so it cannot be rushed in directly with the boat.
However, according to He Ao's current understanding of the bubble structure, with the 'help' of the power of the Eye of Truth, although he cannot bring people with him, he can forcefully 'squeeze' into the bubble himself. He has just tried it with Goya's bubble.
Already.
"good!"
Li Cheng nodded and reached out to take the ashes.
He opened the wooden box and took out the spear of Andavir, an angel-level weapon in the box.
The shining electric light spread across the entire boat in an instant.
"Um."
Ge Ya on the side glanced at the spear in Li Cheng's hand and frowned slightly subconsciously, but she still looked in the direction of He Ao and nodded seriously.
He Ao nodded slightly to the two of them, then held the two remaining wisps of ashes in his hand, stepped on the side of the boat, jumped out of the boat with a slight jump.
In Li Cheng's field of vision, he saw a thin figure quickly approaching the huge 'bubble', and then disappeared into the bubble as if it were disappearing into flowing water.
At the moment when the figure was completely submerged in the bubble, with a violent tremor, the entire bubble began to tremble.
——
boom--
Lin Chichi carefully closed the car door, put away her umbrella, and looked out the car window at the pouring rain.
The sound of flowing water is like plucked strings, playing uneasy music.
"The rain is indeed a bit heavy today."
The middle-aged man sitting in the main driving seat reached out and fastened his seat belt, started the wipers, looked at the pouring rain outside, and started the vehicle.
"Dad, drive slower."
As the vehicle drove slowly and looked at the scene behind it that was continuously retreating, Lin Chichi warned carefully.
"Hahaha, it makes your dad look like a hot-blooded young man."
The middle-aged man drove the vehicle slowly, merged into the main road, and moved forward slowly.
Lin Chichi lowered his head and looked at his fingertips.
Dong-dong-dong-
It was the rapid beating of the heart in the chest.
——
Lava, flames, spitting magma.
With his feet on the exposed hot rocks, He Ao glanced at everything around him.
This is the bubble space he just squeezed into.
Theoretically, it should be the bubble space where Jian is located.
With the help of Li Cheng's previous analysis of the shell of this bubble space when he shredded the space, the time he spent entering this time was reduced by at least two-thirds compared to before.
He raised his head and glanced at the top of his head. Above his head was a pure black sky, and he could vaguely see the twinkling stars in the deep.
He Ao turned around and looked at a place not far behind him.
There is a flaming red cliff. A group of collapsed buildings were built along the edge of the cliff and the part of the cliff that protrudes into the lava. At the front of the building is a stone plaque. Now only half of it remains, showing a blur.
Text.
He Ao stared at the characters that were obviously evolved from hieroglyphics, which were the characters in the first area.
Relying on the text library in his mind, he struggled to identify the meaning of those two words.
"····Research···?"
It looks like it's a research facility.
Is this somewhere in the ruins?
There is no content about this lava area in the ruins data in his memory.
He Ao glanced at the rocks exposed from the magma behind him, jumped out, stepped on the rocks and rushed towards the collapsed building.
His speed was very fast, and he reached the rock in front of the building almost in an instant.
call--
And just when he was about to jump into the building, a palm covered with flames and lava suddenly rushed out of the hot magma and slapped He Ao with his palm.
He Ao flipped sideways and jumped up, dodging the lava splashing in the space, raising his hand, and the Shadowless Sword in his hand came out.
puff--
With the sound of a sharp blade cutting into the rock, He Ao's figure fell on the platform in front of the collapsed building. He stood firm and looked above his head.
A lava giant with a height of tens of meters and a wide body climbed out of the magma. His right hand had been cut off at the wrist, and his thick palm fell into the magma, splashing with hot sparks.
"ah!!!"
He looked at He Ao, let out an angry roar, and raised his left hand to slap He Ao.
He Ao's eyes fell on the giant's chest. This giant seemed to have just experienced a fierce battle. Some kind of hard object penetrated his chest, leaving a huge gap, and flowing lava continued to overflow from this gap.
His right shoulder also seemed to be torn open by some huge force, leaving a huge opening almost connected to his right chest, from which gushing magma spurted out.
He Ao raised his hand and took the Shadowless Sword back into his hand.
This time, he did not attack the lava giant directly, but directly placed a mark on the lava giant, and then asked, "Where is the person just now?"
The lava giant was stunned for a moment. Confusing thoughts flashed through his mind. It seemed that he couldn't understand He Ao's words. He raised his fist and struck at He Ao's position.
He Ao jumped up and landed on the top of a collapsed low wall in front of the rear building as if floating. He looked at the giant and repeated the question in the language of the second area.
This time, the lava giant finally responded. He was stunned for a moment, seemingly confused, and then a lot of thoughts flashed through his mind.
After entering the building...disappeared?
no···
He Ao quickly sorted out the thoughts of the lava giant in his mind. This giant did not have complete reason. It looked more like some kind of extraordinary mechanism endowed with a certain thinking ability, so its thoughts were mostly messy.
After eliminating a large amount of invalid information, He Ao finally sorted out the valid thoughts in the giant's mind.
Was it 'tied' into the building by some kind of force?
He Ao raised his hand, took off the Shadowless Sword in his hand, and looked back at the collapsed building behind him.
In that silent and deep collapse place, it seemed as if there was a ferocious huge mouth crawling, waiting for prey to come.
He turned around, jumped off the low wall, and walked towards the open door of the building.
His vision, blessed by super memory and the Eye of Truth, clearly told him that there was no 'soul' in this research facility.
He picked up his steps and quickly walked towards the depths of the facility.
"ah!!!"
The lava giant behind him seemed to have received some kind of provocation. He roared violently, raised his hand, took a step forward, stepped on the land with one foot, stepped into the magma with the other, and struck at He Ao again.
At this moment, the invisible sword blade cut through the void and made a clanging sound.
Like a phantom dancing in the fiery red light, it flashed across the giant's neck in an instant, and the huge head fell from the body in an instant.
The boiling lava finally calmed down at this moment. The towering giant that was burning with flames cooled completely, turned into cold rock, fell backwards, and fell into the boiling magma, splashing with blazing flames.
He Ao's footsteps had passed through the ruins in front of the building and arrived at the 'gateway' where half of the building had collapsed.
The ruins he passed just now seemed to be some kind of 'derivative building' in front of this building, and this was the core of the entire building complex.
He stared at the deep hall behind the door, his eyes scanning the space inside the hall.
This building has long since collapsed, and there are ruins everywhere in the building. The only area that can be seen that can be moved is a barely spacious hall.
However, from the exquisite decorations covered with dust on the remaining building fragments, we can vaguely see the magnificence of this building in its heyday.
These bubble spaces are 're-enactments' of the past that people who enter the space are most afraid of. In other words, in reality, such a ruin also exists, and has Ji An ever been there?
He Ao thought, withdrew his gaze and looked in front of him.
The position he is in now is where the remaining power gathers deepest.
He lowered his head and looked at his feet.
Thick dust accumulated on the floor of the entire hall. At the same time, the collapsed broken bricks around it seemed to have not been touched, and the dust on the broken bricks was still retained.
This proves that either Jie An did not enter this hall, or he 'disappeared' without his feet touching the ground after entering the hall.
He Ao squatted down slightly and stared at the ashes around him.
According to the memories of the giant, Ji An was pulled into this building by some kind of force. At that time, he was fighting a fierce battle with the giant and was not at a disadvantage.
This proves that Jie An did not consciously want to 'protect himself' by hiding in the building, but was most likely forcibly pulled into the 'building' by some force.
But He Ao saw no trace of anyone moving in this building.
Jie An was forcibly taken away from this space by some kind of force?
He Ao stood up thinking.
But why Jie An?
Among the four people, Li Cheng holds an angel-level weapon and is the strongest on the surface, and is not easily 'disappeared'. This may be the reason why Li Cheng was not 'selected'.
However, the clone of 'Hao Yi' is only a C-level weapon holding a B-level weapon, and is the weakest. In theory, it should be the easiest to be 'taken away', but it was not taken away.
Similarly, 'Geya''s actual combat effectiveness is weaker than Ji'an, but she was not taken away either.
So strength may be an influencing factor, but it is most likely not the only factor.
What other factors are there?
At this moment, He Ao thought of the 'relics of the past' that he saw through the echoes of the past.
That seems to be the ‘body’ of the transparent planet.
The bubble space where the 'Hao Yi' clone is located is a replica of the 'main world' and has nothing to do with the ruins.
Although Goya recreated the ruins, the ruins in her memory were too advanced and were not recreated.
In a mystical sense, the more you understand and interact with, the more involved you are. Ordinary people who are exposed to extraordinary events will be more likely to be exposed to extraordinary events later on.
This situation is even more obvious for high-level entities.
He Ao raised his head and looked at the building in front of him.
The ruins of this building seem to have some kind of 'secret', but the personality is not strong enough, and it is a replica of the ruins, so it has some kind of high-level 'involvement' with the ruins of the past, so it has become the behind-the-scenes existence that can be passed on.
'Channels' of power?
Among the four people, it was easiest for the person behind the scenes to transfer power to Jie An, so he ‘taken’ Jie An away?
However, there seemed to be some kind of haste in the process of Jie An being taken away. Even the lava giant originally used to deal with Jie An looked confused.
Does this mean that this is not the original layout behind the scenes, but some kind of temporary 'countermeasure' after the angel doll appeared?
He Ao looked at the deep darkness ahead. In the endless darkness, there seemed to be a hazy figure sitting in front of him, and a chess piece fell in front of him.
It seems that this time the enemies are more difficult than before.
However, if it is really the opponent's countermeasures, Ji'an should still be of use now, which means that there is a high probability that he is still alive.
Anyone who can reach B level in the main world and establish a force is not a fool.
As long as the other party gives Jie An a chance, Jie An should be able to save his life.
While thinking, He Ao raised his eyes and tried his best to use the spreading power of the Eye of Truth in his body, and looked around carefully.
As he looked carefully, some extremely fine, black 'lines' appeared in his field of vision.
These lines are similar to the extraordinary power that constructs this hall. They are blended in and cannot be discovered unless you look carefully.
But unlike the stability of the energy that forms the space, these black lines are extremely dim and have completely dissipated.
This should be the 'traces' left by the power behind the scenes passing through this space.
He Ao locked his eyes on these black lines and found other black lines little by little. Then he followed this black line and moved forward.
He quickly arrived at the center of the hall.
At this point, the black lines have disappeared.
He Ao glanced around and found no other traces. Then he raised his head thoughtfully and looked above his head.
The top of this building has long been sealed by a collapsed wall. Looking from the bottom up, there is only darkness and the remaining walls that tilted to seal the top.
A fine layer of dust has formed on these walls. It is not thick, but it almost covers the entire wall.
He Ao was thinking, and a lot of thoughts ran through his mind.
The lava giant that Ji An was originally afraid of has been killed. According to the previous rules, the "bottom monster" in this space will appear, leaving him little time to think.
After seeing the dust on the ground again, He Ao's eyes paused, and then he turned around, facing the door, half squatting down, simulating a sitting position with his head raised and dozing off.
This is Jian's favorite dozing position.
He opened his eyes and adjusted his posture slightly so that his head was closer to the position where Jian was doing this posture.
Looking along this posture, his eyes happened to fall on a sloping wall.
The wall was about ten meters high from the ground. It was still covered with fine dust, but above the dust, people used thin force to leave twisted traces. These traces were combined to form a central
Native characters.
'star'
This character was not finished, and the last stroke was only half written. Obviously, the person who wrote this character did not have much time.
The arcs of the strokes are too smooth and crooked, and they look like Chinese characters written by people from the Theia Empire who have not practiced calligraphy.
Obviously, this prompt is reserved for people from the main world who understand Chinese characters.
It seems that this is a 'hint' left by Ji'an, which may be related to the building in the ruins.
The people who know this building best are the people who have been to this building and have left a fear of this building.
‘Star’, what does it represent, starry sky? Stars? Starry night?
He Ao raised his eyes, walked slowly back to the door, and looked up at the sky. In the depths of the dark sky, dim starlight that was completely different from the normal starry sky was reflected.
Does such an area also exist in the place where Jie An was ‘taken away’?
While He Ao was staring at the starry sky, the magma in front of him suddenly boiled.
Bang-bang-bang-bang-
Countless lava monsters of about two to three meters climbed out of the flaming lake, and then rushed towards He Ao without hesitation.
He Ao glanced at these monsters and raised the Shadowless Sword in his hand.
The invisible sword light streaked across the sky, cutting apart these continuous lava monsters like mowing grass.
"call--"
As these lava monsters fell, thick limbs protruded from the magma.
The hot magma trembled violently, and the rocks suspended in the magma also trembled violently.
These boiling lava flowed to both sides like water, revealing the terrifying body under the lava.
It was a monster that looked like a louse, but was hundreds of meters long, covered in lava, and had hundreds of human legs.
The monster lowered its body and stared at He Ao. Its fiery red and slender eyes flickered for a moment, and suddenly spit out a burning red light.
This light hit the ruins of the building and instantly penetrated the entire building, leaving a molten hole.
Then the monster moved its head and swept the light towards He Ao below.
He Ao looked up at the monster, raised the shadowless sword in his hand, and advanced instead of retreating, rushing out like a stream of light.
His figure almost brushed against the glowing bottom of the lava, and his sword pierced the monster's head.
Then he raised the tip of his sword and instantly cut open the monster's right eye.
Only one of the two red rays of light remained.
The monster immediately stopped spewing out light, leaving one eye to look at He Ao. Hot lava flowed out from the gaps in its armor, covering his head and flowing towards the place where He Ao stood.
He Ao stood up and landed on the rocks on the monster's back like a swallow.
Then he raised the Shadowless Sword, and the flowing sword light instantly penetrated the monster's hard carapace. As He Ao moved backward, it split the monster's back.
The gushing lava suddenly erupts like a fountain, forming a magnificent scene.
The whole world flickered at this moment, and endless power began to pour into the monster's body.
"call--"
The monster roared violently and shook its body as if it wanted to throw He Ao off.
He Ao took advantage of the situation and pushed the Shadowless Sword violently, and the sword hilt came out of his hand, instantly cutting the monster's back armor horizontally.
At this moment, half of the hundreds of legs that the monster had originally inserted into the magma suddenly turned over and pointed at He Ao, spurting out strong flames.
He Ao lowered his body, jumped out against the edge of the flame, and reached the innermost side of the horizontal wound left by the Shadowless Sword. Then he suddenly raised the sword and pressed forward diagonally again.
Then he jumped up, passed through the gap between the flames, and jumped into the sky.
Those giant legs of lava that were spitting flames suddenly turned over, and the flames were sprayed diagonally into the sky.
At this moment, the monster's head also stretched out from the carapace, turned around, and looked at the sky. Fiery light once again spurted out from the monster's remaining single eye.
boom--
But in this one, accompanied by a violent roar, magnificent thunder filled the sky in an instant.
Dense electric lights covered the entire sky like a giant net covering the sky and the earth.
He Ao raised his hand, and the Shadowless Sword appeared in his hand.
At this moment, the marks left by his three attacks have been connected together, forming a triangular scar.
The lava gushing out of the monster's body directly pushed open the cut-off triangular carapace, revealing the red, gushing interior underneath.
The huge monster seemed to sense some danger.
The brilliance that was originally bred in the eyes gradually shrank, and the radiance on the separated wound became more and more intense, like a charging plasma cannon, accumulating blazing flames.
He Ao in the sky watched all this with a calm face, and the thunderous brilliance from the sky gathered above his head.
He exerted force violently and stabbed the Shadowless Sword downwards in his hand.
boom--
The scattered thunder surged out simultaneously like clouds following the sword light.
"call--"
At the same time, the monster roared, and a huge red light spurted out from the triangular wound, hitting the sword light and thunder falling from the sky head on.
The three rays of light collided together, shooting out a surging and trembling air current.
The howling wind blew the hem of He Ao's clothes in the sky, which was still rising upward, and the blazing light was reflected in his deep, dark pupils.
The sharp sword light cut through the red light like cutting through blades of grass, carrying the surging electric light downwards and piercing the body of the giant beast in an instant.
boom--
With a violent explosion, the huge monster's body suddenly shattered, and the entire world was instantly covered with countless cracks.
The terrifying thunder instantly spurted out with even greater momentum, tearing the space apart.
At this moment, He Ao's upward momentum finally stopped. He was suspended at the highest point in the void, standing between the thunder that destroyed everything, looking up at the twinkling stars above his head.
Then he stretched out his hand and grasped the starlight in front of him.
boom--
The whole world shattered, and dark ashes condensed in the palm of his hand.
The invisible boat emerged from the void. He Ao glanced at the broken and disappearing space and fell into the boat.
"How about it?"
Li Cheng raised his head, let go of his hand, and handed the ashes in his hand to He Ao.
"Jie'an is not inside. He is most likely taken to a deeper world by the beings behind the scenes."
He Ao stretched out his hand to catch the ashes.
Then he briefly described the situation in the space just now and his guesses.
"That guy is cunning and lucky, so he should be fine."
Li Cheng sighed slightly.
Among everyone, he and Jie An socialized the most, although they spent far more time as enemies than as friends.
Goya on the side nodded slightly.
Then Li Cheng raised his head and looked at 'Hao Yi', "But how did you think that Jie An would leave a 'tip' from the perspective of dozing off?"
Ge Ya also raised her head, her silver pupils looking at 'Hao Yi' expectantly.
She was also curious about why 'Hao Yi' could think of this.
"Guess,"
He Ao replied softly, "There are no footprints on the floor of the hall, which proves that Jie An was dragged away in the air, so he doesn't have to stand. If his posture is adjustable, I guess he will choose the most distinctive posture.
"And his sitting and lying posture happens to be the most visible to us, and it can be used as one of the 'conditions' for him to verify his identity.
"In fact, he did a lot of tricks to verify his identity, such as deliberately using Chinese characters, but using the strokes of the Tia Empire for writing and gestures."
Ji An is obviously a man of both subtlety and subtlety.
At the end, He Ao looked at the two people's expressions of "Can you guess this?" and paused.
"But if I guess wrong, I can only use the exhaustive method to find them one by one as soon as possible."
Goya:······
Just listen to the truth.
She lowered her head, looked at the black ashes in the palm of 'Hao Yi', and asked, "How much is left...?"
He Ao lowered his head and glanced at the palm of his hand, "It's still a little bit worse, but there shouldn't be so many ordinary bubbles. It should be enough to find a 'bubble' near the core area."
"But we don't seem to know the location of the core area,"
Li Cheng raised his head and looked at the illusory shadows around him, "The distribution of bubbles around here seems to be completely random, and we don't have a location."
"Positioned,"
He Ao raised his gaze and looked forward. The swaying boat was still moving forward. "In fact, we have been heading towards the core area and will be there soon."
