Chapter four hundred and thirty-ninth: Chasing traces and looking for shadows
There was no time to hesitate. Han Zhang followed without any hesitation, and Wenying also chased after him after a brief daze. Now only Jiao Mo and Ling Yu were left. Ling Yu was a little scared, which is of course normal.
Yes, after all, everyone will think that such a terrifying whirlpool is going to kill people, and no one knows what is more dangerous under the whirlpool.
"I think you don't have to force yourself."
Jiao Mo said this.
"Well..."
Ling Huan was indeed hesitating.
"First of all, the essence of the land of death and life is also the gap between the six realms. Although it is much wider than the spiritual veins, the barriers between the two realms are not so close to people, so the erosion on people is not so serious. But in essence, this kind of erosion still exists.
The risk of getting lost in the Six Paths also exists. You are an ordinary human being, and there is no need to take such risks."
"I know, but -" Ling Hu pointed at the whirlpool, "but they are there."
Jiao Mo probably didn't expect her to say that. She was startled for a moment and then laughed.
"I originally wanted to say that if you really don't have this awareness, no one will blame you when you go back to Jiyue Lord. But now it seems that you are actually so determined. Even if you are always troubled by self-doubt on the road,
I waver, but I will persevere in the end. Your answer lets me know that you are definitely going to go on this trip."
"I... think so too." Ling Huan swallowed, "But I'm still a little scared. Can you hold my hand?"
Jiao Mo pulled her up, and there was a cold touch on her hand. Jiao Mo's skin was not very delicate, not as good as those of young girls. But her hand holding her was so strong, which made Ling Huan inexplicably feel at ease.
The two of them closed their eyes at the same time, and slid along the sunken sand into the turbid crimson and dark blue.
Ling Yu felt like she was falling, from a high place, but it felt like she was sinking in water. There was no reference for her to determine the speed of her fall, and there was no wind blowing against her face, but she still felt it was difficult to breathe. She opened her eyes
When she opened her eyes, she could only see distorted lines of light flashing strangely, which made her dizzy. She felt a little nauseous in her stomach. She didn't know whether it was the weightlessness or the effect of vision. The bright foam and her hands were tightly grasped together. If it were normal, this would be
It's a force that makes them all feel pain.
The fall stopped, but it was not sudden, but it was like falling into some kind of gel, stagnant and sticky. Ling Huan finally dared to open his eyes again and found that the friends who had come first were waiting here. Han Shang and
Wen Ying cast a wind spell to cushion the two's fall. Not far away, Shi Wuqi's back could be seen, seemingly surveying the situation. But there was no Xie Zhe or Master Lin Tian nearby.
"Uh, thank you..." Ling Huan took Wenying's extended hand and asked, "They..."
"I haven't seen it yet." Han Chang said.
Ling Huan and Jiao Mo finally let go of their hands. Their hands turned a little white at first, and then immediately turned red. Ling Huan looked around and found that the sky was actually bright, with a slight warm red color, as if it had never changed.
Dusk. The ground is no longer sand, but solid earth, color
It is also an ordinary brown-yellow color - maybe a little redder, but far less than the color of the Cinnabar Desert. However, everything here is desolate, as barren as the Cinnabar Desert. Except for a few acquaintances, there is no life left. The earth is no longer
There are undulating sand dunes, which make the world seem more vast.
"This, this is hell?"
"Of course not."
Shi Wuqi, who was not far away, turned around and looked at them. He just grabbed a little soil from the ground and rubbed it in his hands. He didn't know what he was trying to identify. He went on to say:
"This place is far away from the real hell. If you go to that place, you basically can't expect to go back."
"I don't think you should come." Wenying said to her in a low voice.
Ling Huan just laughed and didn't say anything. Anyway, what she wanted to say to Yingying was very clear. They walked together on the flat road. But where is the road here? Or rather, there are roads everywhere, but they don't know which way is them.
The place it should lead to.
"Logically speaking, the internal structure of the barrier is related to the will of the creator. What shape and form are naturally defined by the person who created the barrier. What I am talking about is this special barrier, like the one in the real world.
Opening a net limits what and filters out. Although it is also a kind of barrier, it is only the simplest barrier. Nothing changes inside or outside it. But open (this chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 439: Chasing Traces and Looking for Shadows
The essence of opening up additional space is to occupy the existing space. What is injected into this is the matter of the barrier master himself. Here, the barrier follows the cognitive rules of its owner to a great extent.
It will change in different ways according to their thoughts, wishes, and emotions. There are also cases where the authority of the barrier is transferred to others, that is, creating a connection between the two, so that the other party has similar powers to a certain extent. But to what extent?
The influence... depends on each person's abilities. These are indeed mysterious and mysterious things."
They followed Shi Wuqi and listened to him talking about these things along the way. Ling Huan listened with half understanding, and asked Ying how much she didn't understand. However, Han Sheng seemed to be very interested, and he continued what Shi Wuqi said:
"This is indeed a science. My master has taught us, but it is not as profound as you said. For monsters with a slightly stronger race, this is considered an innate ability, even if it requires some training.
There is also an opportunity for self-realization. It is an instinct of self-preservation.”
"Some things... rules, regulations, spells, actually always exist. Monsters use them directly, and humans should first recognize them before they can use them. This is why humans need talismans, spell tools, and magic tools as carriers and tokens
Or a medium. Isn’t it the same with Mahulaka’s magic circle? The power of monsters can
To form the patterns and runes themselves, humans need to interpret them, and the same is true for Wuyonglan. No matter how much human beings develop and improve these things, it is not a true creation. Even if there is something that breaks away from existing cognition
, it’s just... I happened to discover some undiscovered rules.”
"So, human power is really limited." Jiao Mo said.
"But there are many."
Ling Huan looked at Shi Wuqi's back and felt strange for some reason. But she should be able to understand that after all, he was one of many monsters, not a human being. The kind and easy-going people he usually showed were like a
It's a high degree of simulation of humans, rather than something that comes from his true intentions. If humans do it, he will do it - she feels this way. But in any case, he is a monster with no hostility towards humans, and even occasionally helps humans.
, this is really great.
No one knows the direction here, they can only follow Shi Wuqi. Ling Huan still couldn't help but ask:
"How long...do we have to go?"
"Well, it's not difficult to find Wuyonglan. Even Mrs. Jiaomo can do this."
Shi Wuqi glanced at Jiao Mo's face, and she vaguely felt that her previous wound was burning. No traces could be seen there, but precisely because of this brief gaze, Jiao Mo knew that it still existed, but it had just transformed into something different.
Visible form. This is what happens when you are hurt by resentment. This is something that can never be truly erased.
However... what will happen if the Resentment itself is completely destroyed?
"We'd better make peace with Lintian Master and the others first. The lies are so cunning that they may have deliberately changed the way in from the entrance to separate us. But it's also possible that they left first. In a place like this, it's hard to say to keep moving.
Which one is safer, or staying where you are? There are always variables everywhere here. Even if the barrier is large and he cannot directly interfere, it may change according to his will...ah."
Shi Wuqi suddenly stopped. He bent down and picked up something from the ground. It was a broken piece of talisman paper. Different from the common yellow talisman, it was black with white patterns drawn on it.
That kind of white was very unnatural, and Ling Huan felt it was a bit dazzling when he looked at it. Perhaps it was because the color of the talisman paper was too dark. However, it seemed too much like the color scheme used in funerals.
Shi Wuqi squeezed it gently, and half of the talisman was broken into pieces as if it had been burned.
"This is the rune they left behind, but it shouldn't be like this originally." Shi Wuqi said, "If they left any other traces, I'm afraid it can't be used as a reference. These things should have been tampered with.
Here, Wuyonglan can interfere with many things just by relying on his word spirit."
"What, what should we do?" Ling Huan panicked, "How can we find them? How can we..."
Can they still be found?
Before getting the answer to the question, trouble appeared first. On the endless plain, some dark shadows suddenly appeared one after another, and they were slowly gathering here. Several people came closer, and they were more or less panicked. Those things looked far away
It's almost humanoid (this chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 439: Chasing Traces and Looking for Shadows
Well, when you get closer, it doesn't look like it, but something human-like. They don't have complete facial features, and the clearest thing on their body is only a mouth, which makes it look as weird as if it is attached to it.
And even with only this mouth, it was still sliding and swimming on their faces and bodies. It was really nauseating, and Ling Huan couldn't help but started to chatter her teeth. She repeatedly told herself in her heart that she came here voluntarily.
, and nothing will happen if you are with your friends...
"Master Zhongli, can you test it with Shiranui?"
"Yes, yes, but why?"
"The use of hellfire here is not stable...it is too close to hell, and once it gets out of control, it will become a prairie fire. And the foxfire may not be strong enough to detect anything."
"I see."
Han Zhang was a little unsure, but since Master Bai Skeleton said so, he decided to give it a try first. Without Xie Zhe, he was the only one who could make his sister and Ling Hu feel at ease. He has been his brother since he was a child.
I have had the determination to protect you since I was a child.
