181: Mother Mine
In order to prove his correctness to Wu Lan, and at the same time, to give himself an explanation. As soon as Wu Lan's words fell, Qiang Cuo condensed his aura into a thin silk thread and gently injected it into the stone in his hand.
Soon, the seemingly inconspicuous stone swelled rapidly, and soon changed from the size of a walnut to a hand that was difficult to hold.
Wu Lan's eyes widened as the stones grew, because she had never heard of any rock or metal that could exhibit such magical stretching abilities with the blessing of aura.
However, the excited Qiang Cuo was not satisfied with this, and while inducing the expansion ability of the Void Metal, he also sacrificed a sharp Heavenly Rank Phantom Weapon from his storage bag.
The long sword in his hand gently slammed towards the bulging stone, in everyone's common sense, the stone would definitely crack under the blow of the sharp blade, but when the sound of the two colliding sounded, the next second suddenly broke inch...... It's actually a heaven-level illusion weapon in Qiangcuo's hand!
"Oh my God! It's truly an incredible metal! It's no wonder that the Extreme Path Illusion Artifact made with it is huge, tenacious, and indestructible! ”
Under the proof of various facts, Wu Lan no longer doubted Qiang Cuo's judgment, only to see her cover her mouth and scream!
"It's not even Void Metal, Wu Lan."
With an excited smile, Qiang Cuo threw the stone in his hand behind him without hesitation, and the swollen stone lost the moisture of his aura, and immediately regained its inconspicuous appearance.
"It's just a slightly metallic rock from which it is impossible to extract material that can be used by us, but it at least proves that we are not ...... Not far away! ”
As he spoke, Qiang Cuo confidently set his eyes on the darker and unknown direction of the dark star, and strode forward.
Wu Lan reluctantly glanced back at the stone that was abandoned by Qiangcuo, and then lifted the corner of her skirt and quickly kept up with Qiangcuo's pace.
At this time, the enchanting had already jumped out of the only flame star in the small star field and roamed under this vast universe.
At this moment, all the secrets of this small star field were no longer hidden from her, because she had assimilated the void laws of this sea of stars, so she could see the internal structure of each star, and she could touch the spatial latitude and longitude of any place.
It's a really exhilarating feeling.
"It's strange, I could feel the fluctuations of life when I came to this star field before, and now after I get out of the level, the fluctuations of life seem to be even stronger...... And a few wisps of it seem to be the breath emitted by the strong man of the human race. ”
Soon, the divine consciousness that had spread in the small star field was faithfully transmitting such a message to her.
"Didn't anyone leave here with Satoru?"
Accompanied by Kenichi and Nadodo, Enchanting and curiously headed towards the dark star sky far away from the scorching sun.
"Maybe, after all, there are still people who have more vision than true enlightenment." Jian Yi lightly responded to the bewitching question.
Constantly searching on the dark star, Qiang Cuo relied on his sixth sense, which he didn't know how to describe the Dao, and brought Wu Lan into a strange landscape on the dark star.
The dark star in the eyes of the two of them before had always been gentle, with no plateaus and basins, and only small pebbles were carefully paved in the endless wilderness. But after walking to this strange landform, the earth suddenly sinked.
Moreover, the traces of rock collapse are not at all like the ups and downs caused by natural factors such as wind or water currents, but like a vertical section formed by some strange force that suddenly cut off from the surface.
And the section extending from the surface to the ground is extremely smooth, like a black mirror with no end, lying on the ground and looking down, Wu Lan can see that her cheeks are pulled into strange shapes on the cross-section.
Clouds of smoke emanated from beneath the bottomless cliffs, and when these veils of smoke rose from the heavens, they would condense into the disgusting air currents that Wu Lan had always felt sticky and unable to break free, like the tentacles of some kind of creature, constantly touching her bare skin.
"Are you sure you want to go down?"
Looking down at the fault on the ground, Wu Lan asked Qiang Cuo with some hesitation.
"Are you sure you want to stop here and not continue looking for Void Metal?"
Qiang Cuo's rhetorical question immediately dispelled the fear that rose from the bottom of Wu Lan's heart, and jumped under the fault line with Qiang Cuo with his eyes closed.
It's similar to committing suicide by jumping off a cliff from the top of a mountain, except that the two of them may have entered some kind of tunnel that leads to the depths of the dark star's heart.
What sounded in their ears was the whirring sound of the wind, and there was a certain rustling sound that made Wu Lan feel creepy, and in order to land to the bottom of the section as soon as possible, the two of them did not let the aura form a cyclone under their feet, but let the gravity of the dark star pull their bodies and dive into the depths as fast as possible.
After a while, Wu Lan, whose body began to tremble, still struggled to open her eyes, because she couldn't see anything, which would make her magnify the horror of the small whimpering sound mixed with the wind in her mind a hundred times.
Instead of letting your imagination control your brain, why don't you take a hard look at what the place you're going to look like?
When Wu Lan opened her eyes, she found that her attempts to see everything were in vain.
Because the speed of descent was too fast, and the section in front of her was as smooth as a mirror, all she could see was the straight glimpse of her figure when it passed over the "realm", and everything else that grew on the section could not be captured by her sight.
At this time, the only thing she could stare at was the Qiang Cuo that fell at the same speed as her. Seeing Qiang Cuo's eyes closed tightly and his face was a little blue, Wu Lan couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"It turns out that this kid is actually very nervous!"
Wu Lan's mood instantly improved because of Qiang Cuo's somewhat blue face, because Qiang Cuo had always been fighting her cowardice before, but now she was slow to discover that Qiang Cuo also hid uneasiness and anxiety in her heart, which soothed her overly frightened mood very well.
But just as Wu Lan's smile began to climb up her cheeks, she suddenly felt something moving on the broken wall on her left side flashing by in her spare light!
"That'...... What is that? ”
Wu Lan's breathing became rapid again, and she quickly turned her head to see the unusual object that had just passed the corner of her eye, but unfortunately it was only a breath after a hundred meters, and the place that made her care just now had exceeded the limit of her gaze!
"I read that right! What is that? ”
Wu Lan screamed in her heart, but the only thing that responded to her was the increasingly sharp chirp of wind pouring into her ear sockets, and the chill slowly crept up the tip of her heart along her toes.
"There must be something wrong with this place."
Thinking of her first feeling after stepping into the dark star, Wu Lan had only the choice of continuing to move forward recklessly at this time, because now, turn back...... It's too late!
The sky shrank and narrower above Wu Lan's head, and at the end there was only a faint trace of a fingernail. At this time, the light is provided by a luminescent colony growing on the cross-section.
Watching the sky disappear, Wu Lan even had a feeling that she had sunk to the bottom of the sea, slowly suffocating but not having a way out.
Just when she was in a daze, Qiang Cuo, who didn't know when she had opened her eyes, reached out and lifted her collar fiercely, and roared at her:
"Don't get distracted, Wu Lan! You're looking for death! ”
The collar around her neck almost made Wu Lan feel suffocating death, and she struggled desperately, Wu Lan hugged Qiang Cuo, and then smashed the solid rock.
It turned out that the section was not as deep as imagined, and it did not let the two fall for a few days and nights, but it was only a pillar of incense, Wu Lan and Qiang Cuo had already come to the bottom, if it wasn't for Qiang Cuo to remind her, Wu Lan was afraid that she would be directly smashed into a piece of mud by her own weight.
"Ahem! Ahem, ahem, ahem! ”
Tearing open her collar, Wu Lan finally came to her senses.
"You idiot, what are you doing!" Qiang Cuo yelled at Wu Lan, but this time Wu Lan was not angry at all.
"I see ......"
Wu Lan originally wanted to say that she saw an unusual moving black shadow, but when she saw Qiang Cuo's worried face again, she immediately swallowed back the words that slipped to her mouth.
"I'm sorry, I got distracted."
Anyway, at this point, it's good to worry about yourself, don't be suspicious anymore, and let Qiang Cuo lose his mind.
"Alright, let's go, let's see what's at the bottom of this valley."
Qiang Cuo knew that Wu Lan had not been in a state since she came to the Sub-Void, so he didn't bother to scold her anymore, and waved his hand to signal Wu Lan to get up from the ground and walk forward.
It's just that before getting up, Qiang Cuo quietly touched a stone on the ground and poured his aura into it. This stone is obviously more staggering than the expansion rate that was picked up on the ground before.
So Qiang Cuo smiled faintly, knowing that he was not far from the goal.
"Qiang Cuo, I just found out that you are actually a good friend."
As she walked, Wu Lan said to Qiang Cuo sincerely. For many years, the Qiang Cuo in her eyes was an arrogant, arrogant, and somewhat radical gentleman, but after this period of getting along in the Void, she suddenly felt that under the arrogant Qiang Cuo, there was another unknown side of the Qiang Cuo.
Maybe the careful and caring Qiang Cuo is only seen by himself.
"What do you say? Idiot. ”
Qiang Cuo rubbed his nose, as if he didn't understand what Wu Lan was saying, but walking in front of Wu Lan, he took care of Wu Lan's safety more carefully.
Step by step, the black rocks on the floor of the valley floor began to glow with a tiny halo, at first just a few dots, and then almost a glowing band of light could be seen. Like a giant serpent swallowed by phosphorus fire, it snaked motionless through the dark ground.
"I think this is the associated ore of the Void Metal."
Qiang Cuo pulled Wu Lan and walked forward more and more carefully, his eyes shining like some kind of feline in the dim light.
Such eyes are even brighter than the phosphorus fire on the ground, because the eyes reveal Qiangcuo's endless joy and desire for strength.
