Chapter 309: Confrontation
Although the operation failed and almost buried his own life, Bi Lingxiao did not lose heart. Although it has not been able to get rid of the distorted state of the soul, it at least means that it is likely to succeed. It seems impossible to free the whole head at once, so in that case, let's do it little by little.
After resting for a while, Bi Lingxiao exerted his strength again. The distortion of the forehead slowly opened up with his efforts. This time he didn't want to do it overnight, and didn't continue to open the part below, but focused on his already liberated forehead, trying to maintain the status quo under the influence of the twisting force. It's like breaking a stiff spring, and this spring is itself. This is definitely not an easy job, the power of the vortex is not just ordinary and powerful, it has been tried to fight against this force, and there is no slackness. The soul is very fragile, and if it can't hold on and the spiral bounces back, that is quite dangerous.
Fortunately, the power of the vortex, although it came suddenly, did not continue to increase on top of it.
The spiral of the forehead has been stretched out, initially somewhat difficult to support under the force of rotation, and finally gradually stabilized over time. Just like a straightened spring, if it loses its elasticity, it will no longer revert to the shape of a spiral. At this time, although the forehead area could not completely ignore the power of the vortex, it finally had some spare strength. After only resting for a moment after getting a respite, Bi Lingxiao immediately focused his attention on the next part.
In another dimension, it is impossible to tell time. There was no sun or moon here, and in the darkness but not really unable to see his fingers, when Bi Lingxiao finally saved his entire head from the distortion, he had already rotated around the guard at least tens of thousands of times. It was quiet around him, and even Zi'an's wailing didn't know when it disappeared, Bi Lingxiao looked around in the fog, and there was still no one else.
"Hey, can anyone hear me-"
He shouted in a long voice, and soon an echo was heard from different directions.
"I can hear it. "The demon's voice sounded very distant.
"I'm really relieved to know you're still alive!" Purple Pine Forest's voice was still ethereal.
According to the voice, Bi Lingxiao knew that the distance between the two was not close. The wind blew everyone to different positions, and the voice of the demon spirit came from overhead, and the purple pine forest came from behind below. But it wasn't just the three of them who entered the cloud pillar.
"National teacher, can you hear the national teacher? Are you still there?"
Until the aftermath drifted through the whirlpool, no reply was received from an unknown direction. Zi'an's soul strength is a little different from the three of them, and it is not impossible to be blown away by a hurricane. After confirming the location of his own person, Bi Lingxiao felt a little relieved, and was not in a hurry to join the others. The power of the vortex was far from something he could match, and although his head was freed from his unremitting efforts, his body and tail were still in a twisted state. Even before solving its own problems, it is impossible to move freely in the whirlpool.
After resting for a while, Bi Lingxiao began the action of liberating his body. Although his head had returned to its normal state, the body itself in his soul form was very long, and it was stretched a lot under the power of the vortex, it was not easy to remove all the parts of his body from the spiral form, and Bi Lingxiao was also ready for a protracted battle. As long as the power of the vortex doesn't continue to grow, time is not an issue.
Quietly in the whirlpool, none of the three made a sound, putting all their strength into fighting their own warp. Zi'an still doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, but a few people can't protect themselves at this time, so they naturally have no time to take care of it. The pain and dead silence stretched out indefinitely, and when Bi Lingxiao finally restored his half of his body to its original state, it felt as if a century had passed. At this time, his upper body had returned to its normal form, although it was still a slender snake, but at least it was no longer twisted, and the pain was naturally reduced a lot.
Bi Lingxiao finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although it took a lot of time, at least the results were visible to the naked eye. At this point, his upper body was already able to resist the twisting force, and with experience, the rest of the body would be faster.
Grabbing the tail in his hand, he didn't plan to continue with the gentle way of opening one spiral at a time. I saw that he grabbed the part of the tail that was some distance from the tip with one hand, neither long nor short, and with the other hand, he pinched the untwisted tip part and rolled it around the palm, and then held it firmly. With his hands in front of him, Bi Lingxiao stared at the twist-shaped tail, took a deep breath, and then, pulled his hands violently!
"-Damn!"
A clear curse rang out from the swirl of silence, and the incomparably loud syllables immediately passed through the rolling white mist into the ears of the others.
"Young Master, what's wrong with you?"
Behind him came the ethereal condolences of the purple pine forest. Bi Lingxiao's facial features were distorted, hissing, and it took a while to squeeze out a few words from under the root of his teeth: "I'm fine!"
The rough movements achieved the corresponding results, and the pulled tail was now stretched in a straight line, and trembling with an amplitude visible to the naked eye.
It hurts, it hurts, it hurts to death. Bi Lingxiao bared his teeth and pounded his hands in the air several times, and the severe pain finally subsided.
"Why does it hurt so much?
Bi Lingxiao is simply incredible. The soul is very fragile, and self-distortion has caused a lot of pain, and the pull of external forces will naturally do the same. Bi Lingxiao also knew that doing this would definitely be accompanied by pain, but he never expected it to be so intense!
It was true that when he first entered the realm, Purple Pine Forest only scratched a handful of painful teeth on his tail, but it was not the time for him to just enter. From the first lap, to the second, to the third, to the fourth...... Climbing step by step to the tenth lap, his soul can be said to have gone through thousands of hammers, and it is already very strong, not to mention that the tail is the main attack weapon along the way, and the endurance is even stronger. It was precisely because he knew that his tail was strong enough that Bi Lingxiao decided to use an overnight method to untie the spiral of his lower body, but he was caught off guard and suffered from a severe pain far beyond imagination, which made his eyes darken, and he couldn't help cursing.
The force in the vortex is constant, and although it does not increase, it does not disappear either. Bi Lingxiao couldn't pay attention to resisting other external forces for a while because of the sudden pain, and his soul suddenly twisted again. Not only the tail that was forcibly straightened, but also the upper body, which had long recovered, began to rotate. This frightened him a lot, if he let his soul roll back again, now that the aftermath of the pain had not passed, he really might not be able to withstand the impact of rebounding back!
It took a lot of effort to finally stabilize himself in the midst of the shaking, and at this time, most of the extreme pain that accompanied his rough actions finally disappeared, and Bi Lingxiao looked at himself still with a curly tail and was worried. Under the pull of the vortex, his tail was several meters long, and he only stretched a small part of the tip less than two feet in one fell swoop, and if he wanted to free the entire tail from the spiral form, he had to continue to pull violently at least ten times. Thinking of the severe pain he had just suffered, Bi Lingxiao couldn't help but feel dizzy. But instead of using this extreme approach, it is a spiral that slowly unravels one spiral after another, and it takes thousands of hours to know how much time. Don't look at the current vortex doesn't seem to have changed, but it doesn't mean that it will never change. Wouldn't it be dangerous if something happened before it was done?
After thinking for a moment, he made a decision.
"I'm ca-"
The silence was once again broken by a loud cry in the pillars of clouds.
"Master, is it okay?" Through the thick white mist, the demon spirit in the distance expressed concern.
"I think he's very good, how full of energy you hear this call is, he must be living a good life!" Zi Songlin said he didn't need to worry.
In the whirlpool, it took Bi Lingxiao a long time to finally recover from the sieve-like shaking, as for the brief conversation between the other two not long ago, he didn't notice it at all under the severe pain at that time. Gasping for breath, he gritted his teeth and moved his hands to the part below.
"Day—"
For a long time that followed, there would be various shouts and curses every once in a while, and the Purple Pine Forest and the Demon Spirit did not send condolences after the first few times. Although those screams sounded very miserable, their breath was calm and full of energy, and it was obviously not something that a dying person could say.
Recovering from the dizziness again, Bi Lingxiao let go of his hand tiredly. At this point, he finally freed his entire body from the spiral form, and in the process, especially from the end of his hand, he felt as if he had experienced countless apocalypse. The work of liberation exhausted him, but fortunately, his tail was only a few meters long, and if he really had a length of tens or hundreds of meters like a real large snake demon, then he could be sentenced to several death sentences without counting the power of the vortex, just self-twisting.
After experiencing this self-destruction, Bi Lingxiao felt sleepy for the first time since entering the gray area, and his body's instinctive reaction made him want to close his eyes and sleep well. But if he really did this, the power of the vortex in a moment of mental relaxation could make him disappear on the spot. Although it is only the disguised soul that enters this place that will disappear, it is absolutely impossible to continue the journey below.
Resisting wave after wave of sleepiness, he took a short break and began to try to swing his body. The power in the vortex was very strong, and it was very difficult to move under such force control, but this was not the first time they had encountered such a situation. At this time, the state is like the appearance of everyone when they first entered the realm. At that time, Bi Lingxiao relied on beating himself to improve the strength of his soul, so as to slowly adapt to the power of the environment. Now he has no other souls around him to act as a stake, and all actions are on his own.
The energy in the cloud pillar is obviously not comparable to the ten circles outside. For a long time, Bi Lingxiao could only barely move in a small area. Fortunately, the distortion on the body has been unraveled, and there is less restraint and more strength to fight against the tearing force of the vortex.
In the mist, he could not see anything but the towering mountain-like guards, and there was not a sound in his ears, and since he was not in the flesh, he could not even hear his own breathing. If you stay in such an environment for a long time, I am afraid that people who are not firm in their minds will go crazy because of this. The process of fighting the vortex was arduous, long, and extremely boring, and gradually, Bi Lingxiao even began to count the number of laps he had rotated around the guard.
One, two, three...... Every time you count to 10,000, you start from one again, after all, it's too much trouble to read numbers with more than five digits. After counting the dozens of thousands, Bi Lingxiao finally saw something other than the guards in the long white mist.
The purple pine forest floated in the whirlpool with his eyes closed, and there was a piece of hemp rope below his waist, and from a distance, the whole person looked like a balloon flying sideways.
