Chapter 165 Unstable Passages
Qianye stood still in place until the initial strengthening of the internal organs was completed, and then slowly walked towards the forest. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Along the way, he scanned the surroundings with the pupil of true sight, just in case.
The unusually high gravity alone makes this world dangerous enough. Moreover, it also brings an invisible threat, even if the Terran powerhouses are here, they need to protect their internal organs with the Force at all times, after all, their bodies are far less powerful than the Thousand Nights. This is quite disadvantageous for the Terrans, and the Force consumption will significantly exceed that of the Dark Race.
The outer edges of the forest are unusual, with bare soil and moss under the old trees, with only the occasional low grass visible. It looks like it's the Empire or the Forest of Eternal Night, except for one thing, almost all of the species here are unknown to Thousand Nights.
Entering the maelstrom, the most important thing is naturally to improve one's own strength, followed by finding rare resources. The first point is that Qianye is not worried, but the second point is a little difficult. There are countless rare resources in the maelstrom, but most of them are located near the entrance. In a high-gravity environment like the current one, where there is no information at all, how do you identify what is useful and what is not valuable?
After walking for a while, something suddenly jumped in Qianye's field of vision.
Qianye immediately turned her head to look, and the thing disappeared in an instant. But since it's already caught Chiya's attention, don't think about getting involved. Qianye walked forward slowly, carefully stepping, and after a while, he walked around an ancient tree and looked back.
In the intertwined roots of the tree, an inconspicuous stone is entwined. The stone is about half a meter in diameter, has a modest shape, and is covered with a layer of earth and moss, and looks like it has been here for an unknown number of years. If it weren't for the anomaly just now, or face to face, Qianye might have ignored the past.
Qianye's eyes turned blue, and the pupil of true vision urged with all his might, staring at the stone.
Soon, Chiya discovers that it wasn't the stone that caused the Force to change, but the moss attached to the stone. Qianye scraped off a small patch of moss with her fingernails, and her vision suddenly lit up, and there was a raging flame burning in the gap of the moss, which was particularly dazzling in this gloomy forest. Of course, it's not that it's actually burning, it's the Force that reacts so strongly that this phenomenon occurs.
It is unimaginable that a small patch of moss contains such a strong force. The Light of the Force in Thousand Nights' vision quickly faded, and the moss repaired itself to the gap and no longer leaked the Force.
Although the nature of the Force is unknown, this strange moss, and perhaps the stone itself, is clearly extraordinary. Chiya carefully dug the stone out of the roots of the ancient tree and put it into Andua's space. Unfortunately, Thousand Nights intentionally slipped open a tree root, but didn't find anything out of the ordinary, at least in the Force Domain.
However, Qianye has gained a lot of money, and through this stone, he has at least mastered a way to discover unknown and rare resources. In addition, these ancient trees are not all useless. Perhaps because of gravity, the wood of the ancient trees here is extremely hard, and it takes some effort to dig it in the east of Mt. Qianye. If transported to the Empire, the wood would be the finest ship-building material, far superior to the known wood, and on par with the finest alloys. However, top-of-the-line alloys are so expensive that even the Empire cannot afford to use them in large quantities, and often only use some of them in the most critical parts and on the most critical equipment. If a floating ship could be built entirely from the wood here, it would be less powerful than the old ships of the big names.
Unfortunately, the wood is too bulky, and Adua's space is limited, so it is impossible for Qianye to use the precious space for some wood.
Just as Qianye was about to continue exploring the forest, he suddenly felt a sense in his heart, and immediately climbed up an ancient tree, and in the blink of an eye, he stood on the top of the tree and looked at the sky.
The world inside the maelstrom is very strange, the sky is very high and deep, and there are clouds of clouds, but there is no sun, and there are no other stars, and I don't know where the light comes from.
At this moment, a dark ball of light appeared in the sky, surrounded by lightning. A figure suddenly flew out of the ball of light and froze in the air.
It wasn't actually a ball of light, but a gateway into the world. After seeing that it came from Qianye, now there is another person here, but I don't know if it belongs to the eternal night or the empire, and Qianye recognizes it or not.
As soon as the figure left, the ball of dark light slowly disappeared, and it was clear that this portal could only pass through one person.
Compared to the ignorant Qianye, this person was obviously prepared, with a Force shield around him, firmly protecting himself in it. However, although these methods can cope with most harsh environments, they have no effect on the current high gravity. The man didn't expect gravity to be so strong, and with an exclamation, it fell to the earth like a meteor.
It's just that Qianye fell into the lake, but this person didn't have such good luck and fell headlong into the hard stone bank. I only heard a muffled sound, and the man slapped it firmly on the ground, and his eyelids jumped when he saw Qianye, and instinctively felt pain for him.
Far away in the sky, there was a faint flash of light. Qianye's eyes were so strong that he could see that it was another portal, and a figure flew out of the gatehouse, and then also fell to the ground. It's just that this person is obviously more powerful, and when he fell to the ground, he adjusted himself, brushed the ground and flew again, and then disappeared into the distance.
Qianye groaned slightly, restrained his breath, jumped off the tree, and quietly sneaked towards the direction where the man fell to the ground. If someone from the Empire is coming, they may need to help. If it is the strong man of the eternal night, then of course he must be killed while he is weak, so as to get rid of the trouble.
The wind and clouds gradually surging in the maelstrom, and listening to the tide city is not calm.
The collapse of the sacred mountain has ended, and the originally majestic and upright sacred mountain has been flattened, and the dark ball of light suspended in the air is not only half the size of the beginning, but also looms, and from time to time dark lightning will shoot out from within. Some knowledgeable powerhouses know that this is a sign that the spatial passage is beginning to become unstable.
If the passage into the maelstrom is unstable, the risk of crossing the passage increases dramatically. The passage to the neutral land has always existed, but no one has cared about it for thousands of years, and it is so unstable that trying to cross it is tantamount to suicide.
At this moment, a strong man in his early thirties stood in front of the entrance of the passage, his forehead sweaty, and his face full of nervousness. He was covered in layers of armor and wore multiple defensive props, wrapped like a turtle shell.
An old man patted him on the shoulder and shouted in a deep voice: "Don't panic, remember to deal with it calmly after entering, this is an opportunity that the entire family has spent fifty years earning, don't miss it." ”
The man nodded, his face relieved a little, replaced by determination.
"Alright, go ahead, I'll help you!" the old man pushed him in the back, and the soft force wrapped around him and sent him into the passage.
But at the moment of entering the channel, the mouth of the channel suddenly fluctuated violently, and the dark thunder and lightning around it increased significantly. The man almost screamed, desperately urging the Force, activating almost all of the defensive accessories.
The old man hesitated for a moment, but finally gritted his teeth violently, added force to his hand, and completely sent the man into the passage. The passage fluctuated even more intensely, and dark thunder and lightning poured out like a tide, almost weaving a thunder net in the passage! The man crashed into the thunder net in despair, and then the image disappeared, and he could no longer see the situation inside the passage, only a scream full of despair came from the mouth of the passage.
The old man's face sank like water, and his hands trembled slightly. The image just now, everyone knows that it must be more than lucky. The people next to him were silent, and in this case, they couldn't even say words of comfort. Any kind of comfort is equivalent to sprinkling salt on the wounds of the old man.
The old man turned around abruptly and shouted, "Go, follow me to see Song Zining!"
A moment later, in the living room of Song Zining's flagship, the old man sat down angrily, his eyes as sharp as an eagle, staring at Song Zining deadly. There was not only him in the living room, but also seven or eight representatives of other parties, both the family, the imperial family, and even Yan Ding. But he sat in the corner, seemingly recognizing the reality that he was just a dispensable character.
It was not the elder of the family who took the lead, but an old man of the imperial family. He touched his bearded jaw and said in a soft and feminine voice: "Qishao, it's not just our family who came to you today, there are so many people, in fact, the things you want to ask are the same." Our family is lowly and low, so let's talk about it on everyone's behalf first, do you think it's okay?"
Song Zining smiled and said, "Father-in-law Zhang, but it's okay to talk about it." ”
Zhang Gonggong said: "Then our family will say it directly." The number and order of entering the maelstrom were agreed upon by each family in advance, and the seven young ones were also present. How do we remember that there is no Qianye in the list that entered? Even the second batch does not have him, right?"
Song Zining's smile remained unchanged, and he nodded: "That's true, Gonggong Zhang is not mistaken. ”
Gonggong Zhang's face sank slightly, and said: "Then our family doesn't understand, why did Qi Shao send Qianye the first to enter the passage? If the passage has not changed, it will be fine, but now it is clear that as the old prince expected, it will become a little dangerous for one person to enter this passage." Now the passage is extremely unstable, and it is impossible to enter again. Now there are still two people on our first batch of lists who have not entered, how can Qi Shao say about this matter?"
Before Song Zining could speak, the old man of the family slapped the table and shouted: "The old man's nephew has just entered the passage, and he is already very lucky! Not to mention that our Lu family has accumulated so many resources over the years, the old man's nephew is the first talent in the clan in the past fifty years! This matter, no matter what, we have to give an explanation, otherwise, our Lu family is not easy to bully!"
Song Zining shook the folding fan lightly and said unhurriedly: "Do you want me to give you an explanation?"
"Exactly!"
"Hmph, I'm afraid I can't say it if I don't explain, right?"
"Human lives are at stake, and this is not something that can be mixed up. ”
Song Zining said lightly: "I told you a long time ago that the passage is already unstable and you can't enter again." If you Lu family have to fight for that ray of life, who is to blame?"
Elder Lu was furious and said, "If you hadn't sent Qianye into the passage first and occupied a place, how could there be today!?"
