Chapter 246: Collective Sleep

"Commander, Commander! Captains! ”

"Ahh Vaguely, Xue Ning heard someone calling him, and his scattered mind gradually gathered, and his originally empty eyes gradually regained focus.

Reconcentrating, Xue Ning found Xue Meng. Huo Sisi and the others were looking at him with a shocked expression, realizing that he must have frightened everyone in his state just now, Xue Ning hurriedly waved his hand, indicating that he was fine.

Regathering his mind, Xue Ning found that most of the survivors gathered on the Wushi Square before had left, the mysterious ghost had dissipated, and the black passage through which the ghost hunter ghost had passed over the sky had also been closed.

After mysteriously leaving, the eight Ugin Stone Giants faced the eight directions again and guarded the eight stone gates.

"Kong Gang, you stay, carefully investigate the situation here, Sisi, Mengmeng, let's go back first!" At the time of parting, Xue Ning gave Kong Gang a vague look, and glanced at the five-person group with the corner of his eye. Kong Gang immediately understood what Xue Ning meant.

"Yes! Captains. ”

Xue Ning had something on his mind, and after explaining Kong Gang, he seemed a little absent-minded, Huo Sisi and Xue Meng obviously saw that Xue Ning was not in a state, and they didn't say much, but quietly followed Xue Ning into the stone gate behind him.

After passing through a brief chaotic zone, accompanied by a dazzling light, Xue Ning returned across the border.

According to Huo Sisi, Xue Ning has been away from the Xue family realm for more than a month, and in a month, there has not been much change on the Xue family realm.

The black sun is at the head, the gray earth, the cold weather, and the blood vine forests all over the mountains, the afterglow of the apocalypse.

Returning from the cross-border, Xue Ning found that the void stone platform he had climbed had undergone earth-shaking changes at this time. A black stone pyramid that was extremely similar to the one when the Divine Chosen was opened before was already standing in the Xue family realm at this time.

The suspended stone platform was originally adjacent to a mountain cliff in the boundary of the Xue family, and then the black stone pyramid that was transformed actually occupied the area of that ridge. Xue Ning couldn't imagine how the black stone pyramid did it. This may involve a complex theory of spatial overlap.

Half of the entire black stone pyramid seems to be inlaid in the mountain.

Unlike the trouble of jumping on the stone platform before, at this time, Xue Ning and the others could walk down the huge stone steps of the Wushi Pyramid step by step.

"Huh? Odd! ”

Xue Ning and his entourage walked down the Wushi Pyramid, and for some reason, Xue Ning had a faint feeling in his heart that something was wrong.

What is the problem, Xue Ning was puzzled.

There was a suffocating silence in the air, and the only thing was the vague sound of the wind.

"That's right, that's right, it's quiet, it's too quiet!" Suddenly, Xue Ning finally figured out where the Xue family realm was at this time, and he didn't feel right about him.

It's quiet, extraordinary quiet!

Looking up at the sky, it was the black sun at this time, although the sky and the earth were dark, but in terms of time, it should be regarded as the day before the end of the world.

And Xue Jiajie, who is engaged in construction projects, cannot be so quiet during the day, not to mention that there is not a trace of sound coming from the direction of the construction site, even Xue Ning has not seen one.

Xue Ning's face immediately became nervous when he found this, and he thought that during the time when Huo Sisi and the others left the Xue family realm, something happened to the Xue family realm.

Regardless of his slow pace, Xue Ning's figure accelerated suddenly, and he galloped towards the nearest sentinel station to the Wushi Pyramid.

On the way, Xue Ning imagined all kinds of changes that might occur in the Xue family's realm, and also thought that the guard sentry at the sentry station was likely to have an accident.

Everything had been prepared for the worst, but in fact, the real situation was something that Xue Ning had not guessed anyway.

The three sentries in the sentry station actually fell asleep on the ground at this time, and their comfortable expressions looked like they had been drastically changed.

Huo Sisi followed Xue Ning to arrive. When he saw the three sentries lying on the ground and sleeping soundly, Huo Sisi's face immediately turned very ugly.

The next moment, Huo Sisi was about to step forward and kick a few people up.

Sleeping on duty, such a serious act of malfeasance is simply unforgivable.

"I'm sorry, Commander, but I was negligent in my work, and I will definitely give you ...... about this matter"

Huo Sisi originally wanted to say that she would definitely give Xue Ning an explanation. After all, although Huo Sisi herself was not in charge of military affairs, she was responsible for all the sentinel arrangements within the Xue family. Now that there is such a big malfeasance at the sentry station, she needs to be held primarily responsible.

Xue Ning waved his hand and motioned for Huo Sisi not to speak yet. Things are far from being as simple as they seem.

Xue Ning leaned down lightly and carefully looked at the three soldiers who fell asleep at this time, although the three of them were sleeping peacefully on the surface, but looking at their cheeks, the beards on the faces of the three had not been shaved for several days. There was a noticeable layer of dust on the faces of several people in the sentry station around the ground and on their bodies. And this level of dust obviously doesn't happen overnight.

A few people conservatively estimated that they had been sleeping here for days.

It is not difficult to conclude this from Xue Ning's use of soul power to probe the physical condition of several people.

Huo Sisi once tried to wake up a few people, but he didn't succeed, and it was at this time that Huo Sisi suddenly felt that things were definitely not as simple as he thought before.

By probing the souls of several people, Xue Ning found that although the souls of the three soldiers were unharmed, they had fallen into an extremely deep sleep. The faces of the three sleeping people were sometimes serene and quiet, sometimes frightened, and it was thought that several of them must have fallen into some kind of dream.

"Couldn't it be!" The special situation of the few people also made Xue Ning suddenly think of the Heavenly Dreamers who had inherited the fragments of the Divine Map mentioned by the black ghost at the end. Could it be that these three people are the prophesied Dreamers? Xue Ning couldn't help but guess in his heart.

"Let's go, let's go somewhere else and keep looking."

"What about the three of them," Xue Meng said suspiciously, pointing to the three sentries sleeping on the ground.

"The situation is unknown, don't move them for the time being," Xue Ning said lightly.

"But ......"

Xue Meng wanted to say something, but it was obvious that Xue Ning was more anxious to verify his conjecture at this time.

In the following time, Xue Ning and the others checked several sentry stations one after another, and the situation they saw was the same as the three sentries at the beginning.

Later, Xue Ning simply returned to the settlement area within the Xue family's boundary, and the situation remained unchanged. All the survivors in the entire Xue family realm seemed to fall into a deep sleep at the same time because of some kind of power.

In fact, not only the Xue Family Realm, but also the Evolutionaries who had crossed the border from the survivor base behind the other seven spatial stone gates had all encountered the same situation as the Xue Family Realm at this time.
