204. The Returnees

The blue transport pod constantly passes through a predetermined track between the rock formations underground.

It seems that because of the destruction of the core, this journey took nearly eight hours, although it took more than an hour when it was said to be descending, but such a long journey made this journey less unbearable.

Lin Ziyue hadn't thought that the abandoned sealing core on the Frozen Island was actually a remnant of Skebia.

The core of the seal is obviously also a backup measure for the demonic energy, once there is a large amount of demonic qi leakage, it will directly activate the transportation device, and then abandon the creatures inside to the underground unknown location of the captivity facility, so that Kamera will appear there, and he will be transported over.

In this way, a creature from the Demon Realm like Chimera actually did not appear in the Phantom World recently, but a crack in the Demon Realm appeared a long time ago, and the reason is probably difficult to trace, but Lin Ziyue remembered that the residents of Skabia called themselves "Sons of Heaven", as well as the worship of the "gods", and she guessed that they had arrived here through the spatial cracks in the Divine Realm.

Lin Ziyue remembered very well that there was indeed a crimson territory on the map, and since the whole place had fallen to the illusory world, it meant that there should have been very close contact between the illusory world and the demon world at the level of the small world, which would lead to the displacement of an entire island, or such an important island that was regarded as a place of life and death by the Camera clan.

But what exactly did Botisi stuff into his head? The thought of that black crystal-like fragment actually causing the divine power and magic power in his body to riot at the same time made Lin Ziyue feel puzzled, but Botisi didn't know why, so she could only ask Blue face to face later.

When the blue eggshell burrowed out of the seabed and entered the frozen iceberg again, Lin Ziyue came back to her senses from these thoughts and focused on more important things.

Her feet were on the ice, and the sealing core behind her should have been transported back, but it had been eaten up by Camera, so the sunken pit behind Lin Ziyue was empty, and the white sky light fell through the heavy ice, still becoming a little dim, casting a shadow on Lin Ziyue's face, as if kissing the tips of her hair.

Lin Ziyue took a deep breath, and then exhaled it again, because of the extreme cold around her, white smoke rose from between her lips, like some kind of signal.

Coming back to this frozen island, Lin Ziyue looked at the surface of the ice cube in front of him, and after feeling it for a while, he stepped out in the direction that Xuanyuan Yu left.

Maybe it's just a coincidence, or maybe the two people are used to each other's pace and always walk together, resulting in too much similarity, Lin Ziyue's every step is on the ice that Xuanyuan Yu once stepped on. It was as if she was following his trail and heading in his direction.

But in fact, Lin Ziyue just went to him at her own pace.

As Lin Ziyue's pace moved away, the frozen island gradually returned to calm.

She stepped on the water from the ice, still walking on the ground, as if she was walking in the garden, the waves sprayed white foam under the soles of her shoes, jumping up heavy waves, but only blowing the corners of Lin Ziyue's clothes, but not even her shoes were wet. She was dressed in the handsome white robe, with slightly curly black hair scattered behind her head, and wide sleeves fluttering in the wind from time to time.

First one step and a half meters, and then her figure swept quickly across the sea, ten meters to a hundred meters, as if constantly flickering above the sea, a step forward, between the changes of figure, her forward speed was only slower than the teleportation achieved by Xuanyuan Yu's spatial displacement.

The moon staff radiated light in Lin Ziyue's hand, causing heaven and earth to listen carefully, and then remain silent.

The wind is not in time, the sea is not in touch, and the clouds are different.

Lin Ziyue is like this, step by step, stepping on the waves.

In her direction, there was a medium-sized sea boat, swinging slowly on the sea.

Xuanyuan Yu sat on the bow of the boat, not caring that he might fall, after all, for him, falling down was also a blink of an eye to return to it, and there was no need to worry about such a problem.

Yan Crow was squatting on the fence next to him, his black eyes were like caves, he didn't show any brilliance, and he didn't have any expression, when he followed Lin Ziyue's side, the kind of mean expression that was ready to mock people all the time was very different, he who was originally complaining with a poisonous tongue, was now as quiet as a dark gray wood carving.

Xuanyuan Yu didn't care, he didn't think he could convince others just by virtue of his inexplicable personality charm like Lin Ziyue from beginning to end.

He wasn't sure what was wrong with him, it was clear that there was a wide sea in front of him, but Xuanyuan Yu always felt that his chest was clogged, and although the feeling that made him anxious had eased a lot after leaving the "dispute" on the frozen island, it was now constantly surging again, scraping his nerves like sandpaper.

The Raven suddenly turned his head back, his eyes clearly reproachful.

Meng Li's voice sounded behind Xuanyuan Yu: "Blue said that he can't help it, those little disciples who look at the sea are still rough-handed, and there are problems with several energy supply lines." He also told me that unless you let you go...... Let Xuanyuan Yan go down and let him go down and push directly with the waves, otherwise we can only continue to sail at this speed. ”

Meng Li bit the word "your brother" between his teeth and didn't say it.

Xuanyuan Yu didn't turn his head: "It's okay, anyway, the contract is there, he can delay it if he wants, and he can't really play any tricks." Dare to hurt the dominant party, and the fate of the soul being eaten by the contract is not unclear. ”

Meng Li touched his left eye, and there was a purple rose pattern hidden on his face below, but at this time, there was another keyhole-like pattern on it, and there was no way to hide it, so it was directly exposed under his eyes, like a scar, which made Meng Li extremely uncomfortable, so he condensed a pair of black-framed glasses to slightly cover up the "brand" that disgusted him.

Xuanyuan Yu suddenly spoke: "You ask Zhang Si to send some food and water to Su Jiujiu and that person, since we set off yesterday, they haven't moved at all, this is not appropriate." I sealed that man's ability to recover, but I didn't intend for him to starve himself to death with a hunger strike. ”

Meng Li sneered: "Heh, you can directly control them anyway......"

Before he finished his words, the mark of the keyhole suddenly produced a sharp pain, the pain came directly from the soul, as if his mind was constantly being cut, Meng Li reflexively shrunk up, covered his cheeks in pain, and tried not to let himself make the slightest sound.

After a few seconds, the pain dissipated, Meng Li was already in a cold sweat, and Yan Crow's eyes flashed with concern as he looked at him, but finally turned back to indifference and distantness.

Xuanyuan Yu's voice still didn't have many emotional fluctuations: "Go ahead, don't be stupid anymore." I have warned you many times, and I will not be relentless. ”

Yan Crow also chimed in: "Hurry up and get out, just do what you want to do honestly." ”

Meng Li wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and glared at Yan Crow fiercely, before turning around and calling Zhang Si.

Xuanyuan Yu suddenly turned his head to look at Yan Crow: "You should know, I actually hate you for welcoming me like this." Because I know that you still hate me from the bottom of your heart, you are not really obedient to me, but flattering me with malicious mockery. ”

Yan Crow bowed respectfully and spread his wings slightly: "Don't dare." You are my master, so it is my duty to obey your commands. ”

Xuanyuan Yupi pulled the corners of his mouth with a smile: "Look at it, when such words come out of your mouth, only full of ridicule remains." ”

Yan Crow shook his head again and again: "I have no such intention. ”

"Hah, 'me'...... You don't even dare to use the self-title of 'master' in front of me. Forget it, I see very well that you don't mean it after all, but it doesn't matter. Xuanyuan Yu's eyes were cold, and his originally agile eyes seemed to have an extra black hole, blocking the starry sky that originally existed under his eyes: "Anyway, as far as I'm concerned, it's enough for you not to interfere with me......"

Yan Crow's eyes flashed: "If you don't like me talking, you can order me not to speak." ”

Xuanyuan Yu's eyes were a little sloppy, although he was still looking at Yan Crow, but he seemed to be staring at somewhere in the void: "No, I really want to talk to you more, sometimes I think that you are alive Su Jiujiu, and even Meng Li, know Lin Ziyue better than me...... You say, what would she think of me if she knew what I was doing?"

The hatred and viciousness in Yan Crow's eyes flashed away, and he buried his head lower: "I don't know, your will is above all else, your opinion is my opinion. ”

The corners of Xuanyuan Yu's mouth gradually rose, but the words he said were very cruel: "Then do you think she will kill me?"

Yan Crow raised his head and met Xuanyuan Yu's gaze, still repeating the sentence: "I don't know...... After all, no matter what you ...... right now, You are her lover after all, and she is a very soft-hearted person. ”

However, Yan Crow's eyes when he looked at Xuanyuan Yu were full of surging killing intent, turned into a dagger, and slashed at Xuanyuan Yu's face.

Xuanyuan Yu burst out laughing, but there was a chill in the laughter that made the crows almost burst.

After a moment, he stopped smiling and looked silently at the distant sea, the speed of the ship slowing down, but the wind still made people's faces ache. Although this had no effect on him, Xuanyuan Yu found that he could not calm down, which was completely different from the peaceful mood he had used to have when he sat on the bow of the boat and looked at the sea.

Ah, maybe it's because she used to be next to her.

After a long time, Xuanyuan Yu suddenly asked, "Yan Crow, if you can defeat me, will you kill me?"

Yan Crow closed his mouth tightly and said nothing, and Xuanyuan Yu gently closed his eyes, trying to feel a sense of solace from the sea breeze.

Xuanyuan Yu's voice was very low, broken by the waves of spray: "I asked a stupid question." ”

The crow still didn't speak, and even simply closed his eyes and squatted quietly on the railing on the side, like a dark gray crow statue.

Suddenly, Xuanyuan Yu's spiritual power that landed on this sea area was touched, and something that he couldn't detect was approaching, although the moment it touched his spiritual power, the speed of that thing's progress became extremely slow, but the distance from the ship was less than three kilometers, and it was still shrinking.

Is it some kind of living organism that can cover up what you scan...... Xuanyuan Yu's body shook violently, the black hole in his eyes dimmed for a moment, and the starlight behind him seemed to be lit up by this thought that suddenly appeared to him.

Then the darkness spread, obscuring the light that lit up under Xuanyuan Yu's eyes, covering the hopeful mood.

Is it her? Is it her!

The question echoed in his mind like a bell, and then he was overwhelmed by another question.

Those small hopes and excitement faded, and the fear took its place, holding Xuanyuan Yu's heart, making him feel a suffocating sense of heavy oppression.

He seemed to be able to see her face, her black hair hanging down her shoulders, her clear, gentle eyes filled with rage, looking straight at him through the illusion of imagination.

Xuanyuan Yu felt a chill on his body.

Will she hate me? She will hate me.

Xuanyuan Yu stood up from the bow of the boat, and Yan Crow noticed that his fingers were trembling, and the existence that blocked Xuanyuan Yu's spiritual probing was close enough, close enough that Yan Yan could clearly sense it because of his connection with that being.

Yan Crow's body also began to tremble, and all kinds of complex emotions suddenly poured out from the originally silent and dark eyes, as if there were constantly flames rushing out from his eyes, igniting the vitality of Yan Crow's original dead silence.

He also desperately shouted that question in his heart.

Is it her?

In the cockpit of the ship, or rather in the main control room, Blue sat lazily in front of the dashboard, watching a strange little dot full of chaotic power, mixed black and white, approaching the range of the scanning center, because the energy transmitted was so strange that it was constantly distorting the monitoring data on the side of the dashboard.

Blue raised his hand and tapped on the transparent glass cover of the instrument panel, and then quickly pulled down the stop mechanism on the side, and the power values instantly returned to zero, red characters jumped out on all interfaces, and the boat, which was still moving slowly, quickly stopped.

The orange code that represents distance is constantly changing, slowing down, but always getting closer.

His smile was very kind: "It's coming so fast...... Welcome back, Lord Lin. ”

After bringing all the ship's drive systems to an emergency stop, Blue got up and walked down to the bottom of the cabin, where he stopped in front of the two cabins and knocked on the door of one of them.

There was no response, Blue pushed the door in, and in the room that had long been emptied, he saw Su Jiujiu sitting in the corner with her knees crossed, and the keyhole shape on her forehead was the same as Meng Li's, her face was gloomy and pale, and she hadn't eaten for more than a day, even if she was a demon clan who was more hungry, she looked very unenergetic at this time, and she was wrapping herself tightly with her tail.

There was a large tray by the door, on which was all the food brought by Zhang Si, and although the water cup was empty, there was no trace of the fruit salad, bread, and vegetable soup at all.

"I think you'd better eat something. ”

Su Jiujiu buried his head in his lap and didn't seem to hear Blue's words.

"Because of your state, it's going to be very sad for someone to come back and see it. ”

"Someone...... Come back?" Su Jiujiu read these two words, and her eyes suddenly lit up with a warm light, as if a window facing the morning sun suddenly opened, she suddenly stood up from the corner, broke a small half of the dry bread indiscriminately, and stuffed the cold soup into her mouth. Then Su Jiujiu covered it with her hand, the crumbs of the bread and the soup that had just been stained disappeared, she straightened her clothes and strode out of the room.

At the same time that Su Jiujiu stepped out of the house, the door next door also opened, Xuanyuan Yan gnawed the bread in his hand, while biting hard, because it was difficult to swallow, so he kept frowning: "That stinky boy doesn't know how to bake this broken bread hotter, he has been a crappy assassin for so many years, and he has no ...... life skills."

His mental state was not very good, his hair and clothes were messy, and there were marks of lacerations everywhere on his body, but the wounds had healed, but at each end of Xuanyuanyan's temples, there were two black keyhole-like seals.

Now Xuanyuan Yan can't sleep, can't recover through meditation, his body is weak and reflected on the appearance, there are dark circles under his eyes, although Xuanyuan Yan's eyes are bloodshot, but at this time there is a flame-like fiery emotion inside.

Xuanyuan Yan looked at Su Jiujiu and showed a lazy smile, Su Jiujiu suddenly felt that such a smile had not been seen for such a long time, it seemed that since the estrangement with Xuanyuan Yu, Xuanyuan Yan had not shown such a relaxed side.

And now, his expression seems to have returned to his former casual appearance.

"Let's go!"

Blue shouted at the end of the hallway, and Meng Li stood up from the corner with a chuckle and walked over to the three of them, but his laughter was no longer mocking, but full of pleasure. Zhang Si also walked out of the shadows, and after nodding at Su Jiujiu, he followed behind several people in silence, feeling uneasy about this sudden change in his heart.

The group walked to the deck.

Go and meet the man's return.

Xuanyuan Yu felt the approaching person, but because of his hesitation, he could not make up his mind to leave the bow of the ship to meet the other party. Of course, he also felt the change in the people on the ship, and knew that they had stepped out of the room and onto the deck.

But this matter will only be resolved between two people, and their position does not matter...... Xuanyuan Yu thought so.

Someone stepped on the sea, and the waves seemed to surround her footsteps, and she stepped on the surface of the sea as if she landed on the flat ground, but did not leave the slightest ripple on those bubbles.

Independent of heaven and earth, the corners of her white robe swayed gently, as if to soothe the hustle and bustle of the sea.

The moon scepter in his hand swirled around black and white points of light, which were small and tiny, and disappeared into the surrounding world in a flicker, as if illusory, but carrying the power of destruction.

The black and white points of light under Lin Ziyue's eyes were also chasing each other, like a galaxy far away from the nine heavens, separated by a curtain of water, falling on Xuanyuan Yu's face.

Xuanyuan Yu looked at her, his eyes flashing, but he didn't say a word. The sea of stars under his eyes was eroded and covered by the black whirlpool.

Lin Ziyue's eyes were unexpected, very calm, even as gentle as usual.

It's just that as the two looked at each other across the sea, they gradually overflowed with pain, which made Xuanyuan Yu's heart pinch up.

Even through the blue waves, he was reflected in her eyes.
