Chapter 8: The Force Awakens
Darkness is confused with fog.
Endless coffins were densely arranged, stretching into the distance, all the way to disappear into the depths of the mist.
Wind β
The faint and cold wind passed through the air, whimpering violently, like many ghosts and gods hiding in the darkness, and they all let out urgent urgings.
Liu Ping looked at the dead silence in front of him, and he couldn't help but hear the cultivator's voice in his ears again:
"βthey will hunt down your soul and body until they enslave you completely!"
Liu Ping was deeply settled, and couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
Even that Jin Dan Sword Cultivator resisted for a moment, and then he was about to evacuate, as a Qi Refining Cultivator, without knowing anything about monsters, there was no way at all except to escape.
I have lost all my strength, and now I have to be hunted down and killed-
It's just infuriating.
As long as there is hope for a turnaround, he will never run away in such an embarrassment.
As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but say loudly:
"Hey, there's no one here, the spell you gave me can't be used at all, can you change it to a more powerful one?"
The sequence is unresponsive.
In the void, no new prompts appeared.
It doesn't care about itself.
Tsk β
What a hassle.
Liu Ping shook his head and put the broken knife into the storage bag.
What should I do?
A body injury, in a hurry, can not improve the strength.
He looked at the black talisman he was holding.
Actually, if you think about it carefully-
The two cultivators didn't mean to harm themselves, and gave the talisman back.
So, how can you activate this talisman?
He was pondering when he suddenly felt something in his heart and looked up.
In the rock wall above the head, fine dust gradually broke away from the rock wall and drifted into the empty cemetery.
Something faint and faint sounded from behind the rock face.
"This movement ......"
- There must be something coming.
Pursuers?
Liu Ping quickly looked around,
He found a corner, opened an empty coffin and lay down in it, and reached out to pinch it by the way.
The Breath Gathering Technique is the most basic technique in the cultivation world, which is used to conceal one's own strength so as not to be detected by others.
The Hunt β
This word came to Liu Ping's mind.
He couldn't help but stir up the spiritual power of his whole body and changed his hand.
- Ten thousand lonely breaths!
This is his unique skill, which has been improved on the basis of the general method, and can isolate all his fluctuations.
It's a pity that now he is only a cultivator in the Qi refining period, and he is the lowest-level existence in the entire cultivation system, and he can't fully exert the power of this spell at all.
But at the moment, there is no other way.
The other way......
Wait a minute.
Liu Ping was silent for a while, and suddenly remembered what happened just now, and quickly had a thought.
"Activate 'A Man Without a Role'!"
He whispered in his heart.
I saw lines of small words quickly floating in the darkness:
"You have activated the extraordinary ability of the acting department:"
"A man who has no role. β
"From now on, you won't get too much attention from anyone anymore. β
"Duration: a quarter of an hour. β
Does this thing work?
Liu Ping was still a little apprehensive in his heart, but now there is no other way but to use it as well, hoping that it can be used to some extent.
He lay in the coffin and waited.
Whoa-whoa-whoa
The sound of the earth being lifted came from the high rock face.
Soon.
The sound of falling rubble is getting louder and louder.
The rock wall has been opened!
Immediately after, an indifferent and merciless metallic voice rang out in the cavern:
"The S9005 battlefield robot has arrived at its destination. β
"No threatening targets were identified. β
"Report complete. β
Waited for a few breaths.
Several voices were heard, apparently from humans:
"Are you sure it's here?"
"Boss, that space-time fluctuation just now came from around here. β
"Yes, Chief, we're close to the goal. β
β...... Looks like this is it. β
"Everyone, prepare. β
"Yes!"
A cacophony of voices followed.
With his spiritual sense, Liu Ping gradually sensed several figures.
These people had flown down from the rock face and stood among the many coffins.
Boom!
One of them landed on the coffin where Liu Ping was.
Liu Ping closed his eyes, stopped breathing, and held the breath with both hands without moving.
The men watched for a while, and then the voice sounded again:
"There are no monsters here, right?"
"Do you want to search?"
"yes, search it, it's safer. β
Liu Ping gently moved his hand to his waist and pressed it on the storage bag.
Broken knives...... It can be used, too.
Suddenly.
A line of small words popped up in the void:
"Being too close to you, the presence of stepping on your coffin has been affected. β
"'A man without a role' comes into play. β
The next second.
I only heard the man who stepped on his coffin say in a loud voice:
"A bunch of timid guys, the battlefield robots have already investigated, and if there is anything here, it's just worthless garbage. β
As soon as he spoke, the other voices stopped talking.
Just listen to him continue:
"Don't waste time with Lao Tzu, cheer up, immediately find the source of space-time fluctuations, and use tokens to open space-time channels-"
"Get moving!"
Everyone replied in unison, "Yes, chief." β
The sound of breaking the air sounded.
The surroundings were quiet.
It is clear that these people have gone far away.
Liu Ping breathed a long sigh of relief, and waited for a few more breaths before opening the coffin board.
Not a single one.
Looking in the direction where the people had left, I saw that the fog had become thicker in the caves far away.
An inexplicable feeling of depression came to my heart.
"It's ......"
Liu Ping muttered.
With his psychic sense, he could sense that something was swirling in the distant mist, like a myriad of wriggling unknowns glued together, writhing restlessly, emitting a suffocating omen.
Liu Ping's heart jumped.
- That direction is the direction you came from.
Could it be that the fluctuations that those people noticed just now...... Did the monster in the graveyard send it out?
That monster has locked itself!
A sense of crisis arose spontaneously, lingering in Liu Ping's heart.
"Let's go......"
He muttered, looking up.
I saw that on the right rock wall dozens of meters away, there was indeed a dark hole.
This is the hole that those people just made.
- Maybe this hole will help you get out of here?
Liu Ping jumped hard, and the whole person rose into the air, stuck to the rock wall and swam like a gecko, and quickly came to the entrance of the cave.
A cold wind blew from the mouth of the cave.
Liu Ping pinched the uneven rock with both hands and did not move, and gently inhaled the wings of his nose.
The wind came long and fast, with a fresh and moist scent.
There must be a way to the outside world!
He was about to burrow into the cave when suddenly there was a seeping sound in his ears, and when he turned his head to look, he found that there was a new change in the depths of the cemetery.
In that mistβ
"Save ...... Fate!"
A panicked voice suddenly sounded.
The voice was somewhat familiar, as if it were one of those people just now.
Two or three figures cut through the fog, smashed the coffins that stood in the way from a distance, and rushed towards this direction regardless of it.
"Run!"
The leader shouted.
Sudden change -
At the end of the distant cavern, long tentacles covered with slime swept like afterimages.
Burst!
In just one moment, the three of them were strung into tentacles.
The three of them immediately let out hysterical screams.
The tentacles didn't care about this, wrapped the three of them and flew away, and once again disappeared into the fog.
A roar of anger rang out:
"A bunch of guys getting in the way...... I was about to ......"
Hearing this, Liu Ping did not hesitate any longer, and immediately drilled into the entrance of the cave and ran towards the passage with all his strength.
Unexpectedly, this passage was quite short, and in about three or five minutes, Liu Ping jumped out.
He looked around.
- It's another underground cavern full of coffins!
On the surrounding rock walls, deep caves are arranged irregularly, and I don't know where they lead.
Those people probably arrived from a cave somewhere, and they noticed an unusual fluctuation in the vicinity, so they continued to dig downwards and eventually opened the burial ground!
But there were so many caves that I didn't know where to start.
What to do?
He was thinking about it, but a strange vibration came from his arms.
- The Black Talisman!
It broke free from Ryuhei's arms and floated gently in midair.
Liu Ping stared at the black talisman closely.
- According to the previous practitioner, this talisman can help him.
The talisman fluttered and drifted towards a coffin dozens of feet away.
Eventually, it stopped above the coffin.
It's here!
Liu Ping jumped to the coffin, and suddenly heard the faint sound of wind and water coming from the coffin.
He lifted the lid of the coffin.
The coffin was empty, but there was a large hole in it that was digging downward.
The sound of water came from this hole.
Suddenly, lines of burning small words appeared in the void:
"The specific environment has been matched. β
"Space-time flow anchoring. β
"The Spirit Sigil activated. β
"With the power of the Spirit Talisman, you can instantly enter the corresponding hidden time and space. β
I see!
Your own escape is here!
Liu Ping grabbed the black talisman, walked into the coffin, and carefully closed the coffin from the inside.
After doing all this, he jumped down the holeβ
One breath.
Two breaths.
Suddenly, a misty light appeared in the darkness.
A world of infinite light and shadow sped from an extremely distant and unknowable land, crashing head-on into Liu Ping and enveloping him completely.
