Chapter 271: Qianzhang Peak, Dark Red Realm
Chapter 271 Qianzhang Peak, Dark Red Realm
After a week-long preparation, Xue Ning himself personally led the leading team through the space stone gate, resisted the wasteland, and started the journey of the wasteland.
Xue Ning's departure also greatly excited some conspirators and careerists in the Xue family's realm, and these people felt that their opportunity to seize power had arrived. And the representative of these conspirators is naturally Xiao Feng.
Three days after Xue Ning crossed the border, a group of envoys claiming to be from central Kyoto broke the silence within the Xue family.
The appearance of the center of Kyoto can be said to have stirred up thousands of floors for a while, and the connection between the local government and the central government, which had been severed for a long time, was re-established because of a spatial stone gate.
In the eyes of many, this is both a crisis and an opportunity. Of course, everything on the Xue family realm has nothing to do with Xue Ning for the time being.
Due to the difference in the speed of time flow between the two realms, it brings great difficulties to the timely transmission of information.
At the beginning, Xue Ning thought that the time flow rate of the two was one day on the side of the wasteland and one month in the real world, but after a period of more than one month, Xue Ning found that this so-called time conversion ratio was not absolutely accurate.
Sometimes, the observers sent to the Wasteland Realm stayed for a day and then returned to the Xue Family Realm to find that only a week had passed, while other times, only a few minutes had passed in the real world.
The speed of time in the wasteland seems to be in a state of great flux, and conventional timekeeping methods do not work here. There was no way, Xue Ning could only send as many communication troops as possible to communicate between the two realms.
When he first arrived in the Wasteland, Xue Ning was alone, but when he returned here, Xue Ning was followed by an advance team of more than five hundred people.
Wushi Square was bustling with scouts who didn't know which base they belonged to. The arrival of Xue Ning's team obviously attracted the attention of these people, and immediately a part of these people was divided, and the news that a base had sent a large number of people to the wasteland was to be transmitted back to the real world.
Ignoring those people, Xue Ning led an advance team down the rugged mountain road as fast as possible.
Along the way, Xue Ning unexpectedly found that most of the three-eyed stone carvings on the mountain road last time were gone.
At first, Xue Ning thought that someone from another base had taken the stone carving to do research, but after some observation, Xue Ning concluded that it was not.
Because in the three-eyed stone carving group closer to the bottom of the mountain, Xue Ning found clues. Originally, the stone sculpture of the three-eyed man was still decayed and not so serious when I saw it last time, but this time it was extremely broken, and large cracks were all over the sculpture's body, and it felt like it was in the time when Xue Ning left, and these sculptures had gone through thousands of years of erosion.
"Is it the speed of time?" Xue Ning guessed in his heart.
There was nothing to say all the way, because they carried a lot of personal supplies, and the advance team did not move fast, and it took several hours to descend the mountain.
After resting at the foot of the mountain for half an hour, the advance team hit the road again.
Coming to the end of the valley, Xue Ning saw the spatial stone gate that directly sent him back to the Wushi Square on the top of the mountain last time. For some reason, this time, Xue Ning felt that after this stone gate was crossed, it was no longer Wushi Square, but the real wasteland land.
"Hoo ——!" Taking a deep breath and calming down his mood slightly, Xue Ning took a step forward and was the first to step into the space stone gate.
The advance party followed.
"Wow"
On the other side of the spatial stone door is a dark red world. Scarlet skies, blood-red clouds, dark red cracked earth.
The whole world is flooded with a single scarlet hue.
Turning back suddenly, behind the advance team stood a thousand zhang peak, the peak was completely black, and its outer edge was shrouded by an invisible light curtain.
Qianzhang Peak is probably the only region in this world that has a different color.
Within a radius of tens of miles of the black Qianzhang mountain peak, it is an absolute barren land.
This barren land seems to distinguish the Qianzhang Mountains from the entire wasteland. In the distance, dark red mountains surround the sky.
"And the plants, doesn't the wasteland seem to be as barren as imagined." Xue Ning said in his heart.
Choosing a direction, Xue Ning led the leading detachment into the wasteland.
"Da-da-da-da——!"
In a dead world, there is not even a trace of wind, and the air is filled with a panicked emptiness.
The only sound that could be heard by the advance party marching on the barren land was the sound of their own footsteps and the sound of their breathing gradually heavily.
Time ticked by, and gradually Xue Ning noticed the abnormality.
Sensoryly, Xue Ning felt that several hours had passed, but until now, the mountains and dense forests in the distance in the eyes of the advance team were not the slightest visual close.
He glanced down at the watch on his wrist.
"Shhh This! What's going on? ”
Xue Ning unexpectedly found that the watch on his wrist had stopped at some point.
"Du Yun, take a look at your watch, what time is it?" Xue Ning asked Du Yun, who was following him closely.
Du Yun immediately looked down when he heard this, and after a while, Du Yun replied, "My watch has stopped." ”
"Has your watch stopped too?" Regarding Du Yun's words, Xue Ning didn't seem to be much surprised. At this time, Xue Ning already had some kind of terrible conjecture in his heart. But Xue Ning didn't dare to judge blindly, and immediately asked other people in the advance team who had watches.
Upon asking, sure enough, everyone's watches stopped at some point.
The advance party fell into a brief collective silence, and gradually, a wave of unease began to grow in the crowd.
The watch came to an eerie collective halt, and the team seemed to be trapped in a wasteland that never ended.
The unknown breeds fear, and the depressive environment on this side of the wasteland, which is completely dominated by dark red tones, infinitely magnifies the negative emotions in people's hearts.
"Commander, what to do now, whether to advance or retreat, you must make a decision as soon as possible!"
Du Yun could feel the gradually anxious mood of everyone, although this emotion did not affect the overall situation at this time, but it was difficult to say if it continued to develop.
"From the moment we stepped out of the valley, there was no way back." After saying that, Xue Ning pointed in the direction where the advance team came, and followed the direction that Xue Ning pointed out, and Du Yun looked back.
"What! How could it be! Du Yun was shocked to find that he didn't know when, he and the others were already very far away from the Qianzhang Peak where they set off. The visual distance is no less than the dark red mountains in the direction of the advance team's target.
Unlike Du Yun's shock, Xue Ning was quite calm at this time......
