Chapter 654: Death Trial
Again, there is a sense of detachment, this time the surrounding scene fades away, and no new scenes appear.
"Is it finally over?"
The thick white clouds appeared, tumbling and slowly receding, revealing a huge hexagonal open-air platform and a deep corridor connecting with the platform.
Click!
Lin An looked left and right, and was about to walk forward, when the platform under his feet suddenly bumped, like a huge floating city shaking his shoulders slightly!
Fortunately, Lin An himself was suspended on the platform with his spiritual power, and at the moment when he felt the ups and downs, his spiritual power instinctively adjusted.
But without waiting for Lin An to react, a series of violent earthquakes came, and one after another shaking came, this time it was not limited to shaking shoulders, but as if the floating city was stumbling one after another, swinging forty-five degrees to the left at one time, and sixty degrees back at the same time, Lin An was like an ant on a big tree being lifted away.
Rumble!
Boom!
The huge stone smashed into the place where the platform and the main body of the Sky City were connected, and almost instantly, two or three cracks appeared on the ground.
The moment the feeling of weightlessness appeared, Lin An stimulated the flying technique.
Suddenly, a black shadow came, and when she looked up, she saw that almost a palace-sized spire broke and collapsed, and the rapidly expanding black shadow shrouded Lin An's head, Lin An didn't have time to make any reaction, as the tower spire pressed down by the black shadow had completely enveloped her, and thousands of miles in the sky were coming in an instant!
- Bang!
The fall of tens of thousands of miles was long and short, the high-altitude wind and spatial cracks peeled off the flesh, blood splashed, as if the soul shook for the last time, and when it touched the ground, he couldn't even feel the severe pain of his whole body being smashed into flesh and blood, and Lin An's whole person had disappeared into a huge pit full of broken walls.
The huge floating city is still crashing and collapsing, falling rocks are like rain, the shaking of the earth is constantly coming, and the wreckage of the crashed floating city has destroyed nearly 100 miles of mountains and forests. There were almost no creatures that could escape this sudden disaster, and all the beasts and monsters within a radius of hundreds of miles fled from the scene of this flying natural disaster.
Half a day later, the huge floating city completely disintegrated and disappeared into the sky, leaving only a sinkhole and the ruins at the bottom of the pit.
After a few days, some people came to the great pit to investigate.
Half a month later, a red-haired warrior with a long whip followed the mercenaries to the edge of the giant pit. Jumped off the rubble without saying a word. Blend in with the people who dig frantically in the pit.
Three months later, groups of people came and went on the ruins of the huge pit, and the height of the ruins in the huge pit had been reduced by six or seven zhang, and piles of limestone were piled up on the edge of those big pits. People even erected wooden and stone huts around it, making it a new adventure place.
A pair of siblings and a young knight who looked very different were belated.
They found the red-haired warrior in the ruins, and in the midst of the warrior's collapse, a silver-haired and silver-eyed male mage appeared in the air, expressionless and said something to the people below, and the group's expressions changed from disbelief to despair, and slowly accepted a certain reality.
The gang dug for a long time, but to no avail, and they stayed for about another month. Finally leave this sad place.
The traces of people on the ruins of the crater are still pouring in unaffected.
After that, it gradually decreased over time. The gathering place around the crater has also become deserted as the number of people has decreased, and the wild beasts have gradually returned to their homes, and vines and weeds have grown.
It has been several years of alternating cold and summer, and the bottom of the crater has been completely covered with green plants.
Wild beasts and birds thrive in it, and the traces of this crater are gradually forgotten as people's memories fade. Except for the slightly subsidency terrain, it has almost regained its original appearance.
Year after year passed, the vibrant mountains and forests easily erased this scar of the earth, and even the traces of the surface of the earth no longer existed.
Hundreds of years have passed, and no one remembers that the woman who disappeared has been reduced to pulp at the bottom of that huge pit, becoming one of the nutrients that nourish this mountain forest.
……
……
……
“……”
A breeze blew, and a consciousness that seemed to have fallen into complete silence suddenly moved.
I......
I...... Still alive......
The wild beasts that hunted, the birds that spread their wings, the wind that blew through the treetops, the clouds that flowed in the sky, the water that flowed under the earth, the whole land and the sky suddenly paused, as if a finger had pressed the pause button.
Then the picture regresses rapidly, and the regressive scene condenses hundreds of years of time into a few breaths, so fast that it seems that the light and shadow in it have completely turned into a mess of colored.
The huge floating city returned to the sky, the clouds swept in, and a purple-robed girl floated on the intact white platform, and the golden aura under her feet set off the stunning girl in the middle like a goddess who had walked from people's imagination to reality.
But in the girl's pair of delicate and cold phoenix eyes, there is no focus.
The sunlight was scattered on the white platform like gold, and after a while, the pair of lacquer-like pupils moved, and Lin An completely digested the experience of hundreds of years of depression in the illusion, and finally came back to his senses.
“…… It's a terrible, terrifying illusion...... When I saw Angelia and Andrea, I almost believed that I was really dead. The nightmare of the next few hundred years is even more desperate, if it were not for the fact that I always believed that I was not dead, and there was the last bit of clarity left, I am afraid that my soul would really be fused with this illusion and really die in it. ”
Lin An subconsciously moved his hands and feet, feeling the feeling of the blood in his heart beating smoothly in his body:
In that illusion, her body turned into flesh and mud, ** melted into the soil and disappeared, and she had been trying to maintain the existence of consciousness for hundreds of years, watching the vicissitudes of her burial change, the loneliness gradually eroded in, and in a trance she almost really thought that she was dead, and the feeling that even her soul was slowly sinking down was more terrifying than despair.
"It's so insidious, deliberately creating a false impression to make people misunderstand, and suddenly creating a death when you think you have passed the trial and are the most defenseless! I don't know if I knew the content of the trial in the Sobik era and before those sacrifices went to trials, otherwise they would all enter the illusion unprepared like me, and the mortality rate would be very high - this illusion is actually mixed with soul attacks, it's crazy! ”
After breathing a sigh of relief and slowly getting used to it, Lin An let out a long breath, "Fortunately, the purpose of the trial, after all, is not to let the trialist die, there are still quite a lot of flaws in the illusion, for example, the unprepared collapse of the floating city is too abrupt, when I encounter this kind of sudden disaster, I won't be like in the illusion I can't react at all, and there are puppet beads here, so I won't even hang up a little without struggling......"
In addition, Lin An's spiritual power level itself is higher than the illusion, even if this illusion is almost real and she is taking advantage of the void, she can vaguely catch these flaws, otherwise even if the time in consciousness passes, no matter how tenacious the will is, it may not always be able to retain the last clarity.
It wasn't until after getting through this illusion that Lin An understood that this illusion test was death, not fear, although the two were inseparable partners, but there was no doubt that the latter was the core, and it was also the most difficult thing in people's hearts to face and test.
"It's just a promotion to the Yellow Robe Sacrifice, and the content of the trial is actually death, and it's getting harder and harder."
Even if he was mentally prepared in advance, Lin An found that this preparation was still far less than reality, "I really don't know what the next trial will be, think about what I thought before entering the trial, I am really fearless and ignorant, and now just guessing the content of the next trial, this kind of unknown is about to make me have the urge to retreat......"
Because of the illusion, Lin An's soul was not damaged in the illusion, but his mind was consumed a lot, and his mind repeatedly recalled the process of his death in the illusion, his thoughts gradually became dull, and his soul slowly died......
An indescribable feeling of love clashing in her thoughts, a negative and tired feeling from body to mind, propositions such as why I live, what life is, death and eternity lingering in her mind, and the previous desire to find Titi seemed to be gone.
Lin An knew very well that this was the aftermath of the trial, and the sense of retreat from the next unknown level was not only caused by affection, but also a warning from her intuition - there was no doubt that she could not continue to enter the trial in this state, and it was not even suitable to continue exploring the ruins.
In fact, it is completely normal for Lin An to have this situation.
Even the clergy who had an extremely firm faith in the Sobik era had never been promoted like her in two or three days, and every time the trialist passed the trial, he needed a transition and a process of eliminating the sequelae, Lin An continued to try to this level, there was almost no transition time, and it was actually very terrifying.
But at this time, Lin An couldn't think of this, she stood on the platform for a while, and then slowly floated down in a posture that was so slow and tired that she seemed to be an old man, and laughed at herself:
"It won't be a fantasy again!"
She didn't realize that as she walked into the deep corridor, some power was awakened underground, and in the corner of the deep corridor, a white shadow stood there, flashing away.
"You'll regret it......"
The voice floated in his ears, it was a whispered Sobik language, Lin An looked up consciously, and there was only the sound of air flowing in his ears.
At her feet, her hazy shadow was reflected on the white ground covered with thin dust, and there was a musty smell with a hint of dryness at the end of her nose, and there were many traces of knives and axes on the dusty wall, which carved the passage of time in this ruin for a long time, and the whisper just now seemed to be an illusion.
"Find a room to rest and explore urgently......"
Lin An didn't bother to think about whether it was the strangeness of the shadow, so he opened a door nearby.
After cleaning up the ground, he tore some scrolls and arranged the enchantment, and drew a magic circle in the enchantment, the pale golden light shrouded the entire room, and then released the triple guardian ring, Lin An fell asleep with a light stone on his pillow.
