The boundary here is not a straight upward cliff, nor is it a thick fog, nor is it a gate of time and space where energy surges.
It looks like an ordinary stone.
It's just that these stones are too similar. No, it should be said that they are all the same without any difference. They are covered with the same perfect circular pits, which are very regular, just like the trumpets of trombones.
The artificial traces at this boundary are too obvious!
Ye Zhongming couldn't imagine that it was the artificial border that trapped the people of the Bourbon Free Territory here?
Didn't those people try to break the shackles here and see what is outside the border?
Yes, Ye Zhongming would never believe it, as if the boundaries of the octopus claws were naturally formed.
He observed it carefully for a long time, and finally determined that there would be no problem before he put his hand on it and explored it, hoping to find clues.
Hard and rough, but not cold.
Ye Zhongming stood under the border, frowning.
There are strange things about such stone things, such as it must have been dug manually, it does not have the coolness of stone but is a little warm, and it is so high that it cannot see the end.
However, these places are obviously very strange, but I can't find any reason why they are like this.
Ye Zhongming could only walk forward along the border, hoping to find something that would be helpful to him, or at least a reminder, from this unchanging wall.
The further he walked, the more surprised he became.
This boundary wall seems to have no end in length and height, and even the bottom that borders the ground is so smooth and clean, without a trace of moss or other creatures.
This is completely inconsistent with the principle of biological chain.
It's like...every day, someone cleans and wipes this place.
But obviously no one would do this, and it is estimated that there would not be enough people in the entire Bourbon Free Territory to do this job.
After walking for half an hour, Ye Zhongming still saw the same almost unchanged appearance.
He stopped and sat down.
Continuing to go on seems to have no other effect besides gaining despair.
I took out the Insect King Honey and forced myself to practice to calm my mind. I also released the two ice birds and let them fly upward to see if there was really no end as visible to the naked eye.
After a whole day, Ice Bird came back, a little tired, and conveyed the message to Ye Zhongming that he had not found the end.
Ye Zhongming's last bit of luck was gone.
He stood up, took out the Wind and Thunder Twins, and slashed them towards the stone wall.
Sparks flew everywhere, and this weapon was so sharp that it could cut even the crystal pillars supporting the city, but it had no effect on these stones.
Ye Zhongming sat down slumped.
To be honest, after his rebirth, he has never had such a desperate moment. On earth or in the secret realm, although it will be difficult and dangerous, he may die at any time.
But he has a sense of energy and confidence in his heart that he can overcome obstacles and fight hard in dangerous situations.
But now, he has completely lost his direction.
The border can't be crossed. This is the only way he can think of to get back from this inexplicable space. If it can't be crossed, how can he go back?
Is it really like those outsiders before who will spend their entire lives here?
He was in a very bad mood, but fortunately Ye Zhongming was a man who had lived two lives after all. He adjusted his mood and took out the notebook to read.
On it, there are many marks that he recorded when Rankin was translating. These marks allowed him to know the approximate meaning of what was written even if he did not understand the words above.
Before, he only paid attention to the above information about outsiders. This time, he read it carefully.
Not to mention, Ye Zhongming really found some other records.
A word was occasionally mentioned above.
Dang season!
Ye Zhongming didn't know what this word meant, but guessing from the sentences and context, it should mean that every once in a while in the Bourbon Free Territory, the entire space would be turbulent, and this turbulence manifested itself as a suction force
, each person's body strength will be sucked away by a mysterious force within a few seconds, and then he will fall into weakness. The recovery time will vary from person to person.
The Season of Dang only affects the humanoid life here, and has no effect on other life here.
This special and weird 'season' has become an inescapable nightmare for the humanoid life here. At this time, the explorers will huddle in the city, waiting for the period of weakness to pass. And many other life forms will hide in the city.
Attacks on human cities also mostly occur during the swing season.
In history, it seems that many times human cities were attacked at this time.
There is not much information about Dang Ji recorded in the diary. Most of it is the doubts and emotions of the person who wrote the diary. Of course, there is also information asymmetry or even omissions when Rankin translated Ye Zhongming's mark.
The swing season is very regular. Although it is not very precise, it has a time interval.
Ye Zhongming did some calculations, and he found that the next swing season seemed to be coming, and converted to earth's timekeeping method, it should be within a period of about half a month from two days to twenty days.
No wonder, some of the explorers I met before were heading towards the interior of the valley. So should I also find a place to take shelter?
Ye Zhongming calculated it and finally gave up, because at his speed, it was too late to go to the next city before the coming of the season. In this case, he might as well stay here, anyway, the season is against the two ices.
The birds have no influence. Even if I become weak, my safety will be guaranteed by them.
Unable to find a way to go back for the time being, Ye Zhongming could only stay here and practice, hoping that at some point an inspiration would come to him and he would think of something useful.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and on the fourth day, the swing season came.
Ye Zhongming was almost defenseless and was controlled by this suction force.
A mysterious force is absorbing the energy in his body, and this suction force... actually comes from the boundary wall behind him!
This kind of suction force made Ye Zhongming very uncomfortable, and his body felt like it was about to burst. However, he was not unwilling or angry at all. Instead, he showed a kind of excitement that could not be concealed even in shock!
He felt that he might find a way back!
Because he found that when the swing season came, the boundary wall behind him suddenly became much softer, as if it suddenly came to life. A kind of power was being released from those trumpet mouths, and it was that suction!
The suction force of Dangji turns out to be emanating from the boundary wall!
Ye Zhongming guessed that perhaps the people in the Bourbon Free Territory had known about this matter for a long time, but it was just not in the diary, so he didn't know.
But no matter what, now, the boundary that was so hard that he was helpless seems to be... able to be broken!
