Chapter 25: A Journey to the Void (I)
After a period of shaking, Bai Nian opened his eyes again, and found himself floating in a void, with some points of light lingering around.
The surroundings were extremely silent, there were some water-like things visible to the naked eye that flowed silently a hundred meters away, and many things floated like fragments emitting a faint blue light, but the light was still too dim, and the visibility was only a dozen meters.
He was holding Bai Fan in his arms, and Lin Qingyue was standing beside him, both of them were shocked by the scene in front of them.
"Qingyue, was it the same last time we entered the void?"
"I don't know, I seemed to faint last time, and I woke up and arrived in White Emperor City. Lin Qingyue said.
"Is this in the void?"
"Formless and insubstantial, impermanent and irrational. Lin Qingyue raised her eyebrows and muttered: "The turbulent current is surging, there is nothingness, this should be the void." ”
"The question is why did we enter the Void this time, instead of teleporting directly to our destination like we did last time?" the question came to his heart, and Bai Nian asked in confusion.
"How do I know. Lin Qingyue shook her head.
"I don't know what happened to Bai Fan?" Bai Nian looked at Bai Fan in his arms, with a serene smile on his chubby little face, and his slightly open mouth sucked his fingers.
"He's been caught in the Dream Illusion Technique, and he can't wake up so quickly, but it's fine. ”
"Yes, this kid must have dreamed that he was gnawing on chicken legs, and his saliva was saliva. ”
Bai Nian took out the piece of red jade, and a faint light emanated from the jade, and a ray of red light extended to the front like a silk thread. Bai Nian breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Lin Qingyue as if asking her what to do.
"Let's go, this red line should be the extension of that end, as long as you follow this red line, you should be able to find the exit. Lin Qingyue stepped out first, walking towards the other end of the red line, and Bai Nian followed up.
There was nothing in the void, but every step seemed to be steady on a flat ground. Bai Nian lowered his head, his feet were the same as the surrounding scenes, there was no concept of up and down, left and right at all, and there were points of light all around, as brilliant as a galaxy, giving people a sense of beauty that was so magnificent that his heart palpitated.
The distance between the two was only one step, but he always felt that if he couldn't keep up with Lin Qingyue in one step, he would be completely lost in this seemingly endless place.
There seems to be no concept of time here, I don't know how long I have walked, and a long silence envelops the surroundings. The two passed by many things that flowed slowly like water, and those "water flows" brought Bai Nian a chill.
"Pay attention to these water-like things, this is the void turbulence, the broken void is mixed together, and anything that touches it will be torn apart. ”
Bai Nian nodded, fortunately, the Void Turbulence would not move, they almost collided several times, the most dangerous one was only a few fingers apart, if it wasn't for Lin Qingyue pulling him, he would have already cut his neck by the Void Turbulence.
"Wait, there's someone up ahead. Bai Nian patted Lin Qingyue on the shoulder and motioned for her to stop. Although his mind had become very weak, in this void, he still felt a dark shadow ten meters in front of him.
The two cautiously approached, and finally saw clearly that the dark shadow was nothing but a corpse. He was draped in a black robe, without a head, because there was a void turbulence flowing through it, and the blood stained the robe in a shocking way.
"Tianxing Sect, why are they here?" Lin Qingyue recognized the black robe at a glance, and the walkers of the Tianxing Sect were all wearing this kind of black robe.
"Could it be that something is wrong with the altar from the outside?"
"Judging from the traces, it should be that the head hit the void turbulence," Bai Nian looked at the corpse in the past, after all, he was also a hunter, and he had a little experience in the death of his prey. He sniffled and said, "It should have been about a month since I died." ”
If he had been before, he would definitely be afraid of a human corpse, but after killing so many people in White Emperor City, his mentality gradually became indifferent.
"The Celestial Movement Sect has also entered the Void, and with what I know about them, they must have sent people to scatter and search. ”
"Hmm. Bai Nian nodded, thought in his heart for a while, and then said to himself: "Let's go! This void is so vast, we may not necessarily run into them." ”
Follow the red line until you come to a gate of light, which is surrounded by void turbulence, and there is only a path that allows the three of them to pass side by side. In front of the light gate sat three dark shadows, a middle-aged man with an obscene face, an old man with a wrinkled face, and a ghost-faced man with a mighty and upright posture.
Their black shirts were stained with blood, and their breath was somewhat floating.
"Damn, we've been here for more than a month, and I don't know if anyone else has found Lin Qingyue. The lewd man smacked his mouth and complained with great dissatisfaction.
I thought it would be easy to capture an injured woman, but I strayed into the void and was trapped here, and I didn't know when I would be able to get out. The rickety old man sighed.
"Hmph, if we hadn't encountered the Void Behemoth, we wouldn't have retreated here. More than a dozen transcendent realms were like ants in front of it, and now there were only three of us left, but fortunately, the road here was relatively narrow, and the void beast couldn't enter. The lewd man shuddered at the thought of the Void Beast, he paused and looked at the rickety old man and continued, "Elder Wang, did you say that the Void Beast left?"
"It's also the first time I've seen a Void Beast, and legend has it that this creature is very vindictive, and I don't know if it's gone. Elder Wang stroked his chin, he didn't have a beard, but he looked like he was brushing his beard.
The lewd man looked at the ghost-faced man who had not spoken, plucked up the courage and asked cautiously, "Left, the protector ......?"
"Shut your mouth, don't let me leave you speechless forever!" Before he could finish speaking, the ghost-faced man's cold voice made him retract the words he was about to squeeze out.
And not far away, Bai Nian and Lin Qingyue were quietly watching this scene from afar. The red line connected by the letter is very strange, it seems that it can only be seen from one end of the letter and cannot be seen from the side of the light gate.
The white light emitted by the light gate allowed both of them to see the three of them, and the place where they were dimly lit was impossible for the other to spot them. Bai Nian listened attentively, and the void here seemed to be a medium that could transmit sound far and wide.
"What is the Void Beast?" Bai Nian asked in a whisper leaning into Lin Qingyue's ear, he looked around and found no other creatures.
The hot breath blown from his mouth hit his ears and neck, causing a layer of pimples to grow on Lin Qingyue's snow-white skin.
"It is rumored to be a creature that lives in the void, feeds on the void, and can manipulate the laws of space, which is very powerful. Lin Qingyue poured out in her mouth, and she used her spiritual power to slightly control her voice and force the sound into a line.
"What is the strength of these three people?"
"That ghost-faced man is an existence above the transcendental, it is the left protector of the Tianxing Sect, and the other two are transcendental realms. There were more than a dozen transcendents in their group, and they didn't know where the others had gone. ”
"Transcendental?" Bai Nian asked a little timidly, "Then what are we going to do?"
Lin Qingyue glanced at him, pointed her finger at the light gate, and said, "Do you see that light gate? It should be the exit from the outside world, but they can't open it without a letter talisman, so they are trapped here, as long as we get there, we can get out." ”
"It seems that we need to spread them apart. Bai Nian calculated, and he said, "After a while, I will show up and lure them away, and then we will flank and kill them." ”
Lin Qingyue looked at him like a fool, and said with mockery: "Can the two of us beat the three people opposite?"
"As soon as I appeared, they would definitely let their guard down when they saw that I was just a person in the early stage of the elixir and send one of those two transcendents to chase me, and then you can see the right time to sneak attack, not to be fatal, just let him crash into the void turbulence. Bai Nian's eyes showed a gleam, and he was complacent about his plan.
"Oh. Lin Qingyue's faint words made the sense of self-sufficiency that rose in his heart collapse instantly.
This was a dangerous plan, but Lin Qingyue couldn't think of any good way to do it other than that.
Hiding Bai Fan in a safe place, the two investigated the surrounding environment and worked out a route.
Then the plan was implemented, Bai Nian appeared in the sight of the three people under the light gate, he showed a hint of horror and then pulled his legs and ran, as if he had inadvertently stepped into this place.
The three of them were also shocked by what had happened in front of them, and they met a stranger in this empty place, and perhaps this person had the secret to escape from here.
"You can't let him run away, you go after him!" the ghost-faced man commanded the lewd man.
"But, Zuo Protector...," the lewd man hesitated.
"What are you afraid of if you don't chase after it, I'll let you die here now!"
The lewd man was frightened by this sentence and immediately chased after Bai Nian.
Sure enough, only one person was sent by this group of idiots. Bai Nian was pleasantly surprised.
The lewd man followed behind him, and Bai Nian just ran according to the route planned in his mind.
After a while, the two of them ran out for a long distance, and the sound that happened here could no longer be heard at the light gate.
"Huh. Bai Nian stopped and turned to look at the lewd man.
"Little rabbit, you are running, look at the uncle, I will not pull out your skin. The lewd man said breathlessly.
Suddenly, a sword stabbed from the right, and the cold sword intent made the lewd man feel dangerous, only to see him leap to the left.
But to his left there was a dim void turbulence flowing slowly, and the lewd man fell into it. The void turbulence ran through his body, shattering everything, and he looked at the sword-wielding figure in front of him with wide eyes, and faintly spat out two words in his mouth: "Yes...... You..."
"Haha!" Bai Nian let out a breath and laughed, "Qingyue, my plan is perfect, right?"
"Carving insect skills!" Lin Qingyue said indifferently, but there was a hint of joy in her eyebrows.
"Now it's next!" Bai Nian's face suddenly fell, he clenched his fists, and there was resentment in his eyes.
"Grandpa the village chief, uncles and aunts, it was these executioners who killed you. Watch from the heavens, and I will avenge you!" Bai Nian turned and walked the way he came.
