Chapter 687: The Traveler of the Long River of Time and Space (4,000 words!)
Cheng Lin's face was calm, he suppressed the bad metaphor in his mind, and tried to fire a few "Fire Meteor" shots, but only a few invisible waves were stirred up.
"go!"
He raised the He Jian again and slashed out a line of sword energy. He saw that the sea of white bones had a hole in it for an instant, but it healed again in a dozen breaths. There were only some shocked skeletons, looking up at him with scarlet eyes.
.
The ghost fires floating in the eyes of the undead were jumping and burning, staring at him almost with hatred.
"It's useless!" Cheng Lin quickly made a judgment.
There are too many of these undead. If...in that "global vacuum", the vast majority of humans had died due to suffocation, and had their bones mutated and awakened under some kind of force, then their number
Maybe a billion!
At this moment, the pale sea they formed was devouring lives from all sides of the three kingdoms. Even if Cheng Lin entered and held a stronghold, it would be meaningless. Other places would gradually be submerged, and eventually, all the people would be exterminated.
life.
"Huh?"
Looking at this scene with a sullen face, Cheng Lin suddenly saw something unusual.
It was a church in the territory, and it also projected a pale golden light. In a small area around the church, there seemed to be an invisible force shrouding it, and the undead did not dare to approach for a while.
The priests in the church and the few people around were hiding in that small space, either cowering in fear, crying numbly, or prostrating towards the church.
However, the area is limited after all. Even if they can temporarily avoid the attack, they will die of hunger sooner or later.
Cheng Lin held the sword in his hand and did not drop it in the end. He did not want to give those people hope and then throw it away.
He began to fly along the edge of the Sea of the Dead, flying continuously, overlooking everything happening on the earth.
Seeing those who have been devoured, or those who are being devoured, and those who are still resisting but gradually unable to do so, his frown deepens.
…
…
Extremely Southern Territory.
On top of the ancient Great Wall.
This ancient fortification that has lasted for thousands of years is now crowded with soldiers. Under Nolan's order, the troops at the "ruins" immediately moved over and lined up on the city wall to resist those who couldn't help climbing up.
skeleton.
The civilians were timid and were driven to carry nearby stones up the city wall and use saws to throw them down the city wall.
"Buzz!"
A huge stone rolled down from the edge of the city wall, breaking the wind, and fell straight down, knocking down the skeletons attached to the city wall, but more were added again.
"They're coming!" A soldier in the team shouted in panic. A section of the defense line was broken open by a skeleton wearing rotten metal armor and holding a spiritual weapon, hacking away at a space.
This undead soul was probably an extraordinary practitioner during his lifetime, but even after death, he was different from others.
"spread!"
Warrior Rune swung his heavy sword, and the three psychic emblems on his body all lit up, and he rushed like a chariot. With a heavy sword, he chopped the skeleton off the city wall, and his hand cracked due to the tremor.
Open a small gash and seep out blood:
"Top it again!"
He roared, and the soldiers beside him shrank and squeezed past slowly, holding trembling weapons.
Their performance has been excellent. After all, anyone fighting against these "evil ghosts" will inevitably be timid. If this army itself was not the main force carefully selected by Nolan for "exploitation", it would have been long ago.
Completely disintegrated and ran away.
However, even so, the situation in this battle quickly deteriorated.
Next, the defense line was breached in many places almost at the same time, and holes were torn open by the climbing skeletons. Even if the members of the exploration team went around to "put out fires", they still could not save the defeat.
"ah!!!"
Suddenly, somewhere on the city wall, the young man Qi Lin, who was holding a copper-tubed shotgun and couldn't stop firing, was cut off by a skeleton that didn't know how to get around behind him, and cut off one of his arms.
The red-hot, scalding barrel fell and made a clanging sound.
The two-headed dog with different heads that spit out "frost" and "fire" jumped up with a howl, gave up the enemy it was fighting with, and rushed over, but was struck by a rusty knife in mid-air.
Cut it in half!
"No!!"
When Rune rushed over, he only saw two corpses of a man and a dog that had been bitten to death by the skeletons. Then, he heard another exclamation!
In the distance, a slender figure in a robe was pulled violently and fell down the city wall. That was Shirley.
In almost just a few breaths, she disappeared, and only a faint noise could be heard at the bottom of the city wall.
Rune numbly and almost instinctively chopped down the charging enemy, turned his head, looked at the nearly collapsed defense line, and began to look for Nolan.
Finally, he found it. Under the protection of the middle-aged man in gray robe, Nolan was not injured, but his face was ashen and crumbling.
He ran and found "Deep Blue", who seemed to be shouting something, probably asking for a reply from the Royal Capital and the Holy Church.
After seeing "Dark Blue" and shaking his head, Nolan staggered again, almost falling, and then was pulled backward by the middle-aged man in gray robe, but he resisted instinctively and did not move, and was finally knocked unconscious by him.
Then, with the strength on his shoulders, he broke out of the siege with the strength of a mid-level monk and fled to the northern mountains and forests.
"Your Highness has escaped!"
"The lord is gone!"
"Run!"
This scene was seen, and then the defense line, which was already on the verge of collapse, completely collapsed. Countless soldiers and civilians threw down their weapons, cried and fled back, covering the mountains and plains, with collapse like a disintegrating dam.
The cold wind blew, and the mountain was silent. Lu En stood in a daze, watching this scene, no longer resisting, like a wooden man being submerged by the sea of skeletons, and then, like a collapsed reef, he disappeared.
Similar scenes occurred in various directions in the three kingdoms.
…
The sky became even darker, and the world seemed to have fallen into the most oppressive darkness.
Cheng Lin flew in the sky silently, watching one village after another being submerged, one city after another falling, and one life after another being harvested... His heart became heavier and heavier. At this moment, he heard a sound in his ears.
Narrator's voice:
[You silently overlook the earth and witness the pale disaster. On the dark earth, except for the light golden beams, there is nothing else. You can't help but ponder, doubt, anxiety, loss, and then bewilderment. You feel that you should
Do something, but don’t know what to do]
[Alcott obviously has more powerful power, but he chose to wait for death. So, what can you do? 】
[You think, think, and finally raise your head and look at the "black spot"]
[Congratulations on completing the task (3)]
[Mission (Part 4): You decide to fly towards Black Spot and try to block him. This is not difficult, you just need to make clever use of the "spiritual world"]
…
"Using the spirit world?..."
Cheng Lin was startled, and then a bright light flashed in his eyes, yes! The spiritual world!
He understood the meaning of this sentence almost instantly. The gate to the spirit world can be expanded to a greater extent after upgrading. Although it is not clear whether the "black spots" can be filled, he can at least give it a try and remove those "black spots".
The incoming power is channeled into the spiritual world.
As for whether this will be dangerous, don't worry. After all, this is just a deduction, and the spirit world has rich experience in facing the impact of spiritual energy.
After making up his mind, Cheng Lin immediately raised his head and looked at the "black spot" in the sky. He immediately raised the He Sword, adjusted the direction, and flew upward!
His movements were extremely fast and he activated the He Sword to the extreme.
However, just when he flew to a certain height, he was keenly aware that he seemed to have passed through an invisible boundary, and the hair on his body stood up briefly, and then returned to normal.
This is……
Cheng Lin suddenly had a bad idea. He looked behind him while flying and saw only the earth as usual. He continued flying a little uneasily, looking back from time to time. Finally, after flying for a while, he saw something abnormal.
.
The continent beneath him began to "flicker" like a slide.
The old image is frozen, and then after a while, it suddenly changes into another scene.
With the help of his extraordinary eyesight, Cheng Lin keenly saw that the area covered by the pale sea on the earth was getting larger and larger.
Each time it "flickers", a piece will become larger, just like a complete puzzle is slowly being pieced together.
"This is...time!"
Cheng Lin woke up and it was time again!
He has experienced a similar scene before, which means that the force field that distorts time also means that when he is flying, time on the earth is accelerating exponentially...
This made Cheng Lin more and more uneasy, and all he could do was keep flying, and he began to doubt whether he could fly to the "end".
I don't know how long it took, maybe a minute or two, or maybe dozens of minutes. Finally, when Cheng Lin looked back again, he found that the entire continent had disappeared and turned completely white. This meant that the entire continent had disappeared.
All have fallen.
In the three kingdoms, all human beings have not escaped. There may be a very small number of people hiding in the "church", but this can be ignored.
"Is he dead..."
Cheng Lin looked down at the earth blankly, feeling a little unfamiliar with this feeling. At this time, he finally understood why this deduction always felt different, because in the past times, he had saved the world, but this time... he failed.
Already...
High Priest Alcott was right…
I can't save anyone...
Cheng Lin was thinking in a daze, wondering, does this count as a mission failure?
He was thinking while flying, and then, at a certain moment, it was probably because he flew high enough that he could have a panoramic view of the three kingdoms.
Therefore, he suddenly felt that the beams of light emitted from the church that were still shining brightly in the pale ocean all over the earth were somewhat familiar.
familiar……
Yes, it's inexplicably familiar... so many churches, so many light golden beams, combined together, like... a pattern... a magic circle...
At this time, those light beams suddenly began to dim rapidly. If Cheng Lin realized it, he turned around and saw that he had arrived in front of the "black spot". The huge black "hole" was shrinking rapidly...
Cheng Lin was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously ran into the "black hole", turned around and opened his right hand to open the door to the spirit world!
And zoom it in...and zoom it in...
Until the expanding light gate completely overlaps with the shrinking "black hole", they fit perfectly...
"Is this... considered a success?"
Cheng Lin thought, and then he was shocked to find that he had passed through this "black hole" and came to another universe.
In the cold universe, there is no sound, only stars as many as the sands of the Ganges River emit faint light.
Cheng Lin looked at the universe with some curiosity.
Wanting to know what caused all this, he saw a planet.
A huge, blue, slowly rotating planet... just "sticked" to his face.
In the distance, the brilliance of the "sun" shines on this galaxy, countless colorful planets follow their own trajectories, and a "moon" full of "pits" moves silently in front and side.
For some reason, Cheng Lin's eyes suddenly became so good that he could see almost everything clearly.
He saw continents on the huge aqua-blue planet in front of him.
On the continent, there are mountains, rivers, and trees.
Time seemed to be turning from midsummer to autumn, because he could clearly see that the green continent was rapidly turning yellow starting from the north and going south.
Countless trees turned from green to yellow, as if they were withering and lifeless.
Cheng Lin saw a long trace on the mainland, heading straight south.
What is that?
He thought and looked carefully, so his field of vision narrowed. Finally, he saw clearly that they were countless giant dragons lined up in a straight line.
Some of them are fiery red, some are blue... they are all equally huge. In their queue, there are more strange human-like creatures with thick limbs and strange tails, carrying luggage on their backs.
They are migrating.
The dragons are migrating.
They were running southward almost in a hurry, and behind them was the "withered line", as if they were chasing.
Cheng Lin looked at the front of the dragon team and saw three familiar dragons. One had silver-gray phosphorus armor, each piece of which was like shining with starlight. There was one whose body was fiery red. He looked at the sun from time to time in an irritable manner, and one was flying.
Standing, covered in ice blue, with an elegance that does not belong to a giant dragon, dragging a smaller human figure in its huge right claw.
Suddenly, a meteor flew from the north, crossed the mainland, and crashed to the island in the south.
Cheng Lin realized what it was, so he turned his gaze to the north, to where the meteors were rising. Suddenly, his pupils shrank, and he saw a person!
one person!
A person walking on the withered land, walking behind the "withered line"!
He walked slowly and leisurely, as if to drive away the dissipation of spiritual energy. He was of medium height, and his left hand hanging by his side held a small black sword. The sword was unremarkable, except for a scarlet blood groove, which was eye-catching.
He was wearing an old-style Chinese tunic suit, navy blue, simple and decent, but a little too out of date after all.
The four square pockets in front of the body are carefully fastened with black buttons. There is a dark blue round-belly pen in the heart pocket on the chest. The exposed bright silver pen cap is engraved with printed and blurred two characters.
words.
The lower body is the same plain trousers and a pair of shoes. The clothes are ironed very smoothly. It can be seen that they are worn very carefully. There are almost no wrinkles even after traveling all the way.
On his fair face, he wore dull, square glasses. His hair... was parted in the middle and combed very carefully.
He seemed to feel Cheng Lin's prying eyes, so he raised his head and looked over, revealing a kind, ordinary and friendly face.
Then, he paused slightly, raised his right hand, and gently pushed the frame on the bridge of his nose, a bright smile spread across his face, and his lips moved.
Cheng Lin instantly understood his "lip language":
"Hello, Cheng Lin."
he said.
At the junction of the two universes, Cheng Lin was instantly chilled! It was like falling into an Arctic ice cave!
He only had to say the three words "Shi Shengcun", and then...
The world collapsed into countless fragments, and his consciousness sank into boundless darkness...
