Chapter 80: A First Exploration of the Eternal Night
It was midday and the sun was fierce. Lin Xuan was in the room, and he didn't feel dim.
The black stone looks smooth and translucent under the strong light that shines through the window.
There was not a trace of wind in the room, but I could feel the strange air currents on the surface of the black stone. The air flow is extremely weak, and even cultivators with extremely high cultivation can perceive it in their minds.
But for Lin Xuan, who had cultivated the Wind God Decision, these abnormal air currents were like beacons. As early as when he was cultivating the First Realm Feihong, he was used to sensing the changes in the airflow around him all the time!
There must be something abnormal about this black stone!" Lin Xuan thought to himself.
He studied the blackstone thoroughly, and apart from the abnormal air currents, the blackstone was no different from ordinary stones. Lin Xuan's face was ugly, could it be that he used all his net worth to buy a useless waste stone?
Resisting the urge to smash the black stone, Lin Xuan took out the scroll.
Since the black stone is useless, I hope this scroll can bring some surprises!
As he slowly opened the somewhat old-looking scroll, his face gradually darkened.
What kind of treasure map is this? It's clearly just a landscape painting.
The painting depicts a towering mountain with a stream flowing at the foot of the mountain. A thatched house on the other side of the creek!
No matter how you look at it, this is a landscape painting that is no longer ordinary.
Lin Xuan lost interest in an instant, and now these fake drawings didn't even bother to mark the route! The landscape paintings were also directly taken out and sold as treasure maps.
Throwing the scroll aside, Lin Xuan's brain emptied, unconsciously in a daze. After all, I used all my savings to buy two useless scraps. Anyone can figure it out a little!
Suddenly, Lin Xuan's eyes focused on one point in the drawing. A boulder in the middle of the mountain and the creek looks like a turtle's head sticking out of the mountain.
Lin Xuan blinked, staring at the boulder motionlessly. The more he looked closely, the more frightened he became! This is a big mountain, and it is clear that a giant turtle is sleeping here.
He picked up the scroll and carefully put it away. The scroll wasn't completely useless, at least it was something he had never seen before. Lin Xuan planned to ask Xiao Lu, maybe she would know the origin of this giant tortoise!
After a day in the Sifang City, it's finally time to open the teleportation array to the Mayan Empire!
The Mayan Empire is also well-known in Sifang City. After all, it is the location of Longmen, the former hegemonic force in the south.
Although the Mayan Empire is not too strong, the Dragon Gate Ruins attract many strong people every year.
Stepping on the teleportation array with Lin Xuan, there were also two adventure teams.
The formation opened, and a burst of strong light made people unable to open their eyes. Soon, the strong light dissipated, and the figures of Lin Xuan and the others also disappeared into the array.
The capital of the Mayan Empire, Dragon City!
The city has been around since ancient times, and from destruction to reconstruction, Dragon City has always been the name. It hasn't changed!
Compared to Sifang City, Dragon City looks monotonous and deserted!
In Dragon City, Lin Xuan didn't see the crowds. There are mostly old people and children in the city, and he is a little puzzled when he walks in the market.
No matter how vast and sparsely populated the Maya is, it was the capital of a great empire. How could there be no one!
With doubts in his heart, Lin Xuan came to a hotel. There is no junior in the store, only an elderly shopkeeper.
"Shopkeeper, do you have anything to eat here?" Lin Xuan asked, because he was indeed a little hungry.
"What do you want to eat?" the shopkeeper's voice sounded older.
"Let's have a few side dishes!" Lin Xuan replied.
The shopkeeper should be.
The business in the store was not good, there was only one table of guests in Lin Xuan, and it seemed extremely quiet.
"Shopkeeper!" Lin Xuan was the first to break the silence.
"Hmm!" replied the shopkeeper.
"Why haven't I seen a few young people in this Dragon City!" Lin Xuan asked directly, this was indeed quite curious.
"The young people are gone, gone!" the old man's tone was a little low.
"Where are you going?" Lin Xuan then asked.
"I fled to the Empire, I don't know where I went, many people must have already left the Mayan Empire!" the old man said.
"Did something happen, why did you leave?" Lin Xuan was puzzled.
"You should know about the transformation of the Realm of Eternal Night!" the old man asked.
Lin Xuan nodded.
"News came from the Mayan border, and someone saw from afar that the people of an entire tribe of the Canglan Empire had turned into piles of white bones. ”
"This place is too close to the Eternal Night Domain, and the young and strong people in the Canglan Empire have left! Only those of us who can't run and don't want to run! We're old and don't want to toss!"
There was a calmness on the shopkeeper's face.
Only then did Lin Xuan realize that there were no young people in the city, but it was because of the influence of the Eternal Night Domain. Naturally, this is understandable, after all, the fear of the unknown is human nature.
It is foreseeable that there will be fewer and fewer people going to Canglan along the way.
After buying a substitute monster in the city, the two embarked on their return journey. Since Lin Xuan's magic cores were all exhausted, the cost of purchasing a substitute demonic beast was still Xiao Lu's sale of a herb in exchange.
They originally wanted to use the teleportation array to go to the nearest city to Canglan, so that they could get to Canglan faster.
But later I learned that due to the outbreak of the eternal night. The border cities have long been emptied, and it is useless to keep the teleportation array. No one knows what's in the night, and no one feels safe if they're too close.
The Canglan Empire was just around the corner, and Lin Xuan didn't care about the question of whose magic core it was.
The closer he got here, the more panicked Lin Xuan became, he was afraid that he wouldn't see a familiar face. I'm even more afraid of seeing familiar people again, but they (she) have become dry bones all over the ground!
After riding the third-order lightning marten for nearly ten days, there were only dozens of miles left from Canglan.
But the lightning marten didn't want to continue on its way, as if there was some flood beast in front of it!
In desperation, the two had to walk for the rest of the journey.
Fortunately, Lin Xuan was physically strong, and this distance was nothing to him. And in the eyes of Xiao Lu, who is a dragon, dozens of miles is just a matter of a moment!
Soon, the two of them could already see the sky from afar, shrouded in boundless black mist.
Depressing, dull!
There was not a sound around, dead silence!
It is Lin Xuan's obsession to return to Canglan, but it is not purely to go back to death. If it was too dangerous in the Realm of Eternal Night, he would take the initiative to retreat!
Feeling the oppressive atmosphere around him, Lin Xuan's vigilance had also been raised to the highest.
What is in the realm of eternal night? Lin Xuan was curious!
Approaching the border, a thick black fog was in front of you. You can reach out and touch it!
Closing his eyes, Lin Xuan silently recited the parchment roll formula. All the areas in front of him exuded an aura of evil darkness.
That aura was somewhat similar to that of the people in the Dark Temple, but it was more pure.
Lin Xuan stretched his hand into the black mist, a feeling of thousands of ants gnawing on his arm.
