Chapter 14: Circulation
He shook his head self-deprecatingly and sighed softly. There was just a flash of fire on his body, and the weird insects that inhabited Xiao Chao's body disappeared without a trace. I don't know if the bugs disappeared by the flames, or if they left because they already sensed that Xiao Chao was a living person.
Although there are many altars, there are many different types. The way to distinguish these altars is actually very simple, that is, the formation outlined in the altar. Judging from these formations, the role of these altars is also different. Some imprison the souls of human beings, while others imprison the souls of various living beings, because of the different formations, so the role of these altars is also different.
The only thing that is the same is that there are traces of that unknown creature in these altars, that is, no matter what creature is imprisoned on these altars, the same means and methods are used after all. Just, why? Why did the altar last for so many years, but this time it had to be operated by digging deep into the mountains?
Xiao Chao didn't understand, so Xiao Chao could only keep walking forward. Looking at the number of these altars, Shadow Island must have been doing this for countless times, and in these countless times, there must have been creatures like themselves breaking into this world, and then some people fled back to the real world again. Perhaps it is because of these people who fled back that the Shadow Island has left countless legends in the world. There is no way to verify these things, and Xiao Chao naturally will not bother to think about it.
I don't know how long I walked, but the blood moon in the sky never changed angles. Because I didn't carry any timekeeping tools. So Xiao Chao didn't know how long he had been walking here. Because he didn't know what this place was, Xiao Ran could only walk cautiously with his feet forward. There are several strong people in the entire Shadow Island, and these strong people are not sure of winning if they pick out a random Xiao Chao. Since you can't be arrogant. Then Xiao Chao can only keep moving forward with his own feet in a low-key manner.
A person's energy is limited, Xiao Chao has to pay attention to whether there will be creatures around him who will suddenly attack him, and on the other hand, he still has to identify the direction he is in, and Xiao Chao still has to check how many steps he has taken, so although Xiao Chao is full of energy, he can't stand it after all. Raising his head, Xiao Chao laughed helplessly at himself. I don't know if I didn't learn math well, why I forgot it after checking it and how many times I walked it.
Glancing around. If it is according to the normal time, it will be nearly two days at this time. For two days, Xiao Chao has been moving in one direction. Xiao Chao believes in his own strength, at least in this world, absolutely no one can pull himself into the illusion. I haven't noticed anything yet. And along the way, Xiao Chao has left marks on the road. After walking for such a long time, Xiao Ran did not encounter any marks, which can only show that Xiao Ran did not get lost.
I didn't get lost, and walked in one direction for nearly two days, and the vastness of this altar was really beyond Xiao Chao's imagination. What the hell is this place? The surroundings are still the drab to the extreme, the same color, the same environment. If it weren't for the ghost fire and snowflakes, there would be no such changes, then Xiao Chao would have doubted that he had really come to a world without end!
It doesn't matter who it is. After walking for so many days, I will feel tired, Xiao Lan sighed, and then sat gently on the ground against an altar, intending to rest. But at the moment when Xiao Chao's palm touched the ground, Xiao Chao's body suddenly jumped, and Xiao Chao's body that had just sat down suddenly bounced up!
It was only at this time that Xiao Chao discovered his carelessness, the ground here was not dirt, but a substance that Xiao Chao had never seen! It's hard, and perhaps because of the blood moon in the sky, it makes the ground look very different in color. And Xiao Chao walked all the way without any danger, so Xiao Chao subconsciously thought that there was no problem with this land.
But the land is not in danger, but the dirt is alive! The whole earth was as if it were a giant creature, breathing in an extremely slow way. It's like an ant crawling on an elephant's belly and not feeling the elephant's breath, just as humans can't feel the rotation of the earth on the earth! Because this continent is so big, if you don't look carefully, you won't be able to feel that this thing is actually alive!
Xiao Chao's palm was once again on the ground, because his mind was condensed with all his strength, Xiao Chao could feel an extremely slow way of breathing! This way of breathing is so slow, so slow that it almost feels still! With the breath of this continent, Xiao Chao could feel countless objects flowing slowly under the ground, and there was no doubt that this continent must be alive!
Xiao Chao raised his head blankly, looked coldly at the full moon above the sky, and the cold sweat soaked Xiao Chao's body in an instant! If there are mountain gods in this world, immortals in the sky, and beast gods among the beast clans, then will the earth, which has bred countless life forms, also have its own life?
As long as he thought about it, Xiao Chao felt that his whole body trembled rapidly. If this earth really has its own life, then what does this life depend on to survive? No matter what kind of creature it is, it needs to survive the nutrients, if there is no nutrient supply, then no matter what the creature is, it will not survive! And what does the huge creature of the earth eat?
Xiao Lan swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and suddenly felt that he was beginning to understand the origin of this world! Why does it happen that every once in a while, there are abnormal changes on the earth, no matter what kind of creature it is, it can only be the overlord of the earth for a period of time, and cannot become eternal? Why is it that in every battle, countless creatures die, and then leave countless corpses behind to hide in the rest of the world?
Xiao Chao shook his head suddenly, trying not to think about it. This is a puzzle with no answers, if the earth is really a living body, then Xiao Chao is just a small cell in this living body, and it is impossible to resist at all! No matter how strong Xiao Chao is, can he still break through the space and open up a new world by himself? If Xiao Chao can't, then Xiao Chao can only be trapped in this game and can never be freed. That being the case, some things are better than not knowing.
Suddenly, Xiao Chao's brows widened and he looked into the distance. Any object in this world has the ability to transmit sound, and because of the vibration of the object, there will be sound. Xiao Chao's mind was all attached to the ground, and under such induction, Xiao Chao finally felt a vibration, as if countless ants were gnawing on something, and it seemed that there were countless people constantly moving around far away. In short, if there is sound, it means that there are living beings, and Xiao Chao has had enough of this environment without any sound. At the beginning, in the lost city, Xiao Chao was still able to be accompanied by a huge zombie giant bird, but here, there was nothing. Now, at last, there is a breath of biological existence.
It was a cliff, and Xiao stood on the edge of the cliff in a daze, looking down like a god. Underneath Xiao Chao is a continent, boundless. The color of the main body of the continent was only a gloomy green, and Xiao Chao could see unnamed birds flying through the sky, and he could see creatures whose names did not know the name running across the continent. But no matter how you look at it, Xiao Chao can't feel the breath of life on these animals, but these are obviously dead things, why can they still soar above the sky and gallop above the ground?
At the foot of Xiao Chao, there is a big pit, which is tens of thousands of meters wide, like a barrier that separates the place where Xiao Chao is located from the continent. Xiao Chao looked to the left and right, and only then did he realize that the place where he had been walking was actually above this big pit! Xiao Chao looked down at the bottom of the cliff and saw only the white bones in the big pit, and the place where Xiao Chao was located was a hanging attic, and under this attic, there was a big pit with no edge in sight.
This pit was filled with black liquid, but Xiao Chao knew that this was not a liquid at all, but an innumerable number of unknown creatures! Just above this sea of insects, the white islands are constantly floating and sinking, and with my chaotic eyesight, I can see lightly, these white islands are huge bones! In this pit, huge unknown creatures often jump out of the pit, usually when they jump out, their bodies are already extremely badly injured, and then after a while, these huge creatures will die, and then accumulate into the bones.
Countless bugs fight in the pit, because they devour each other and make these bugs grow. But even if they grow bigger, these bugs will be killed by the rest of the bugs, and then form on the island of bones. And there are countless insects gnawing on the island of bones, and those dead bones will be decomposed into countless ghost fires. Ghost fire rises into the air and floats above the sky. Xiao Chao saw that the suspended attic he was in was like a funnel constantly pouring larvae into it!
It's an endless cycle in which the larvae fall from the hanging islands, fight and grow in the pits, and then the corpses are decomposed and turned into ghost fires and ascend to the sky. Later, in the human world, these ghost fires and cold fires fused through the altar, turned into larvae again, and then fell from the island into this pit. It's like a vessel that tirelessly creates ghost fire, creating ghost fire for this unknown continent day after day. (To be continued......)
