Chapter 13: Figures on the Horizon
Chu Ziheng opened his eyes in a daze, and the surroundings were still so dim that he couldn't see anything clearly.
He used the little divine sense he had just recovered to probe around, and only found Ji Ziyang and Tu Pao around, as for Fan Jianqiang and Jing Yao, they were obviously blown away from them in the violent wind just now.
He went over and woke them up, probing their surroundings together. They were swept away by the "razor wind" to an unknown place, and there was no longer the knife-like wind around them, but the temperature was biting cold, and there was chaos between heaven and earth.
"Do you know where this is?" Chu Ziheng asked Ji Ziyang, after all, he was more familiar with the mining area near the Taichu Ancient Mine.
"Here..."Ji Ziyang looked around with some horror. It's a bit like the death zone in the north of our Zifu mining area, and it is said that people who come here basically have no possibility of going out. ”
"The north side of the Purple Mansion Holy Land Mining Area?" Tu Bao created a small light source, which could only illuminate about a zhang beside him, and he glanced at Chu Ziheng with this faint light.
You must know that the mysterious source vein they are looking for is also in the north of the Zifu mining area, and Tu Tiange was also swept away by the razor wind back then to find this source vein.
Could it be that you are crooked? Or is it that the terrifying razor wind of the desert always sweeps people into this death zone, so that no one survives in the razorwind?
Chu Ziheng was a little surprised in his heart, but his inadvertent turn of his head made his whole person (a dog) freeze in place.
Under the dim sky, there was only a faint halo on the horizon that was out of reach, and through this clear light, you could vaguely see three figures standing there, although they were far away, they still had vague outlines.
Ji Ziyang and Tu Bao also followed his gaze, and they were both stunned in place.
"That's... What is that? Ji Ziyang's teeth were chattering, but no one could give him an accurate answer at this moment.
Those three figures, with a halo on the top of their heads, are slender, very hazy, and very ethereal, giving people the feeling of being mysterious and powerful.
"Is it an archaeological?" Tu Bao pursed his lips, and he was a little uneasy.
"Not necessarily, but they seem to have spotted us." Chu Ziheng saw the three figures stop and stand in the distance, seemingly in the direction they were in.
There was a deathly silence all around, but there was a biting chill in it. It wasn't due to the low temperature, but an atmosphere in the air, and the few unknown figures just looked in their direction, which made them feel creepy.
"They're going in our direction!" Tu Bao said in a low voice.
Sure enough, the three ethereal figures no longer stopped, but walked side by side towards it, and the black shadows on the horizon were slowly growing larger at a very slow pace.
"Withdraw!" Chu Ziheng let out a low roar, the ghost knows what the origin of these figures is, this place is already very close to the primordial ancient mine, even if a few god-like primeval creatures jump out, it is completely reasonable.
The two of them and a dog used their strength to feed, and each turned into a glimpse and fled into the distance.
After crawling forward for more than twenty miles, several people finally stopped, but when they turned their heads to look, they found that the three erratic figures were a little closer to them.
"Damn, what the hell." Chu Ziheng's face was full of shock, he never expected to encounter such a strange and extreme thing so soon.
"Don't think about it so much, keep running." Tu Bao pulled him and urged.
Several people rushed forward again, and the speed was not slow. Ji Ziyang and Tu Pao are monks of the Four Extremes Secret Realm, and Chu Ziheng is not inferior in speed with his strong physical strength.
Thirty miles away, Chu Ziheng suddenly remembered a sentence said by an artist on the earth, Trungpa Rinpoche, that the greatest courage is not to look back.
"Wait!" Chu Ziheng stopped. "From now on, none of us should look back and treat all the figures just now as false."
"But..."Tu Pao was about to speak, but was interrupted by Chu Ziheng.
"If they are really gods, our lives are already in their hands, and it is useless to run for our lives." After Chu Ziheng finished speaking, he sat down, closed his eyes and stopped talking.
Ji Ziyang and Tu Bao saw his actions, gritted their teeth and sat on the ground following his example.
In the dark desert, the three of them remained motionless like this, although they were extremely frightened in their hearts, they did not look back at what had just happened.
It wasn't until half an hour later that the chill from the rear finally disappeared, and the world truly regained its tranquility.
Chu Ziheng looked back again, and on the horizon behind him, there was no trace, there was nothing, and everything seemed to be real and illusory.
"From now on, don't talk about what just happened. In this area of the Taichu Ancient Mine, there will always be some taboo things, and we don't pay attention to so much when we go. Chu Ziheng felt a little creepy, remembering what happened to Ye Fanjin at the beginning, and reminded him.
The men stopped talking and walked side by side in the dark night.
After walking for two hours, I don't know how far I have advanced, the sky is gradually whitening, and the world is finally a little clearer. But this glimmer does not give people a feeling of warmth and comfort, but instead emerges an inexplicable weirdness.
Fog gradually began to rise around the area, and the fog became thicker and thicker, and the visibility was less than half a meter away from the naked eye.
The golden vertical eyes on Chu Ziheng's forehead collapsed, and with his divine sense, he could only detect about two meters, not to mention Tu Bao and Ji Ziyang, whose divine sense was far inferior to his.
"What the hell is this place?" He muttered quietly.
Suddenly, there was an exclamation next to him, which frightened him by jumping more than three feet high, and he hurriedly turned his head to find that there was a ten-zhang wide rift in front of Tu Bao's body.
Cautiously treading on the edge of the rift, looking down through the fog. Depression, fear, sorrow, mourning...... Fluctuating from the front, it was an emotion that got out of control.
"It's still far from the Taichu Ancient Mine here, why is there a primordial breath?" Ji Ziyang clasped his head tightly, he just glanced at the valley, and he felt as if his brain was about to explode, and his whole person's thoughts seemed to be distorted.
On Chu Ziheng's forehead, the golden light was shining, and his divine consciousness was condensed into a small sword with an inch long, and the momentum of the whole dog was like a demon god of the world, exuding terrifying might, trying to see the mystery of this rift.
