Chapter 406: Lightless Death
"Get up! The Bright Star Officer's left hand was raised slightly, and a ribbon woven of starlight slowly lifted Zhuo Qing, who was kneeling on one knee, "You are the apprentice of the Flame Star Officer, and you can also be regarded as my junior." If you ask for anything, I will do my best to make it happen for you. As for the four words 'reluctant invitation', it is impossible to say. ”
"Thank you, senior!"
The attitude of the Bright Star Officer made Zhuo Qing very grateful, and also made Zhuo Qing secretly relieved in his heart.
"Tell me, what help do you want the Starlight Tower to provide you? If it's cultivation, I'm afraid I won't be able to help, and I'm not very familiar with the Law of Fire. The Bright Star Officer smiled.
"Please open the entrance to the 'Lightless Death Realm' for us!" Zhuo Qing looked directly into the eyes of the Bright Star Officer, and said solemnly.
"Oh?" a look of surprise flashed across the Bright Star Officer's face, "Has the Flame Star Officer informed you of the existence of the 'Lightless Death Realm'?" it seems that he has high expectations for you, and even hopes that you will one day be able to take over the position of Star Officer from him. But with your current strength, entering the 'Lightless Death Realm' will lead to the danger of nine deaths, or even ten deaths. Now is not the best time for you to enter the Lightless Death. ”
"But we don't have any time left. I also ask our predecessors to open the entrance to the 'Lightless Death Realm' for us, and all the consequences will be borne by ourselves. Zhuo Qing pleaded.
"Please!" Tu Lie also knelt down on one knee towards the Bright Star Officer!
Zhuo Qing looked at Tu Lie beside him in astonishment, Zhuo Qing knew very well that with Tu Lie's character, what an incredible thing it was to ask him to kneel down on one knee in front of someone!
"Get up!" the star ribbon lifted Tu Lie up, and the Bright Star Officer sighed slightly, "Can I know why you are so eager to enter the 'Lightless Death Realm'?"
"For Shenhuan!" replied Zhuo Qing without thinking. Next, Zhuo Qing told the Bright Star Officer about the grievances between Shenhuan and the Gongliang family and the ten-year covenant, so that the Bright Star Officer understood the cause and effect of the whole thing.
"The Gongliang family has gone too far in this matter. There was a hint of anger between the eyebrows of the Bright Star Official, "Shenhuan went to Gongliang's house to ask for help in order to save his father, but he was so troubled. I remember that we had publicly warned the Gongliang family not to be unfavorable to Shenhuan, but they turned a deaf ear. It seems that our Starlight Tower is indeed too useless, and a good family dares to ignore us at all. ”
Zhuo Qing saw that the Bright Star Officer intended to use the power of the Starlight Tower to intervene in this matter, and hurriedly said: "Senior Bright Star Officer, Shenhuan is determined to handle this matter by ourselves, and now that the frontline is deadlocked, the Starlight Tower does not need to be distracted by our affairs." ”
"Okay, then I'll open the 'Lightless Death Realm' for you!" The Bright Star Officer sighed, knowing that the Starlight Tower really couldn't be distracted to deal with this matter now, and opening the entrance to the 'Lightless Death Realm' for Zhuo Qing and Tu Lie was all he could do.
The Lightless Death Realm is the highest training place in the Starlight Tower!
As the name suggests, there is no light in it, and it is a completely dark space. There, there are countless dangerous creatures that roam freely in the dark, and these creatures have a myriad of strange but equally deadly methods of attack or hunting.
Once a person enters the realm of lightless death, he is in a fatal crisis all the time. In that environment, rest is a term of extreme luxury. Of course, that kind of environment is also the environment that stimulates growth and potential!
The Lightless Death Realm is in fact an independent alien space, which was accidentally discovered by the first batch of star officials in the early years. The first batch of star officials took advantage of the magic of the stars to play the heavenly array, and opened up a passage with stargazing twin peaks to connect the lightless death realm, making the lightless death realm a secret training place for the starlight tower!
This passage connecting the stargazing twin peaks and the lightless death realm is not a real spatial passage, so to open this passage, most of the power of the Stars Performing Heavenly Array will be used! This will make the Celestial Formation paralyzed for a long time, and it can only maintain basic functions such as sending people in and out of the Starlight Tower.
Also due to the limitations of this passage, the time between the two passages of each person cannot be too long, only eight years at most! In other words, the maximum time that each person can experience in the Lightless Death Realm is only eight years at most!
In the Starlight Tower, in addition to the star officials, only the elites of the Divine Martial Department who have reached the ninth order of the Doubtful Realm are eligible to enter the Lightless Death Realm for training. This time he agreed to send Zhuo Qing and Tu Lie in, which is a big exception!
A moment later, the sky above the stargazing twin peaks suddenly turned a magnificent purple and blue color. In this purple-blue sky, countless twinkling stars are lit up one after another, and the scenery is amazing!
In the brilliant starlight, the starlight of the stars showed its true form, and the starlight of the thirty-six main stars condensed together and projected onto a huge bluestone between the stargazing twin peaks! As the starlight became stronger and more dazzling, the entrance of a temporary spatial passage slowly took shape on that stone slab!
At the moment when the entrance took shape, two figures rushed down from the Starlight Tower, rushing into the temporary spatial passage. When the two figures disappear, the stars will be full of starlight, and then they will be invisible......
Entering the Lightless Death Realm, Zhuo Qing and Tu Lie truly experienced the meaning of the four words "Lightless Death Realm"!
Although the Flame Star Officer had mentioned to Zhuo Qing about the Lightless Death Realm, neither the Flame Star Officer nor the Bright Star Officer had revealed any information about the situation in the Lightless Death Realm. If they tell Zhuo Qing their experience and let Zhuo Qing and the two of them prepare in advance, then this experience will be meaningless.
If the darkness and darkness were barely enough to adapt, the strange undulations and erosion of the ground beneath their feet made both of them feel creepy.
"What's going on with this sense of ups and downs?" Zhuo Qing asked in a low voice, "Tu Lie, can you feel the traces of the laws of the earth in this sense of ups and downs of the earth?"
"No, you can't. Tu Lie shook his head, completely forgetting that Zhuo Qing couldn't see his movements clearly in this lightless environment, "This sense of ups and downs has nothing to do with the laws of the earth. It's like ......"
"It's like a living thing, right?" Zhuo Qing added for Tu Lie. Because he felt the same thing in his heart, because the heaving sensation under his feet was so regular, like the steady breath of some creature. And they, standing on the creature's chest, rise and fall with the creature's breath!
Thankfully, the ups and downs, while eerie, don't show any aggression for the time being. With a little adaptation, it is not difficult to stand and walk on such an undulating ground.
In contrast, the feeling of erosion in the land is what Tu Lie and Zhuoqing are most worried about at the moment.
The kind of cold miasma that eroded into the bones faintly from the ground under his feet made Tu Lie not want to stay in place for a moment, and as soon as he took a step, Tu Lie found that a new cold miasma came from the foot of the foot he had just stepped out. This made Tu Lie's sturdy body freeze in place, not moving, not moving.
Zhuo Qing also quickly discovered this problem, but he was proficient in the law of flames, and the fire qi in his body was vigorous, and this cold miasma could not help him.
"Don't move. Zhuo Qing walked to Tu Lie's side, put his right hand on Tu Lie's leg, and the fire flashed on his fingertips, injecting the power of flame into Tu Lie's body, resisting this cold miasma for Tu Lie.
At the moment when the firelight lit up, a sudden change occurred!
In the darkness, a small and agile figure rushed through the sky in the face of the firelight!
Before Zhuo Qing could react, he only saw the small black shadow flashing in front of him, and he felt a heart-rending pain in his fingers! The pain was so intense that Zhuo Qing almost fainted on the spot!
There was no light, and he couldn't see what that little shadow was, but Zhuo Qing knew what had just happened!
His right index finger had been bitten off by some creature!
Ten fingers are connected to the heart, not to mention the pain of broken fingers!
Zhuo Qing bit his left arm so that he didn't let out a miserable howl. Because Zhuo Qing knew very well that in such a dangerous environment, making too loud noises would bring death to the two of them!
"Zhuo Qing, what's wrong with you?" Tu Lie didn't know what had just happened, but he had a bad premonition in his heart, and hurriedly asked.
"It's fine. Zhuo Qing gritted his teeth and replied, cold sweat from the severe pain continued to flow down his cheeks, "Be quiet, don't invite any strange creatures." ”
"Yes. Tu Lie, who was thick and fine, already knew from Zhuo Qing's strange voice that Zhuo Qing's condition was not very good, but he didn't ask much. He just secretly clenched his grip on the giant hammer, vigilantly guarding against any possible attack around him.
"Lightless Death...... Sure enough, as the master said, any action may bring danger to oneself. If you want to save your life, staying still is the best way to do it. However, for the sake of experience, for the sake of divine rejuvenation, for the sake of our ten-year covenant, we cannot stop here. Zhuo Qing secretly used the power of flames to burn the wound of his severed finger from the inside, otherwise the blood would flow out.
Tu Lie seemed to know what Zhuo Qing was doing, and he didn't bother, carrying the giant hammer and standing quietly beside Zhuo Qing.
"Tu Lie ......" After a long while, Zhuo Qing finally recovered from the pain of his severed fingers, and his voice returned to normal, "In this place, we will survive for eight years, are we confident?"
"I'll fuck your uncle!" Tu Lie scolded in a low voice, "The most unconfident person is yourself, right? Come and ask me! Moreover, what is the meaning of 'survive for eight years'?
"That's right. Zhuo Qing smiled in the dark, "It should be that we are going to use these eight years to conquer the entire 'Lightless Death Realm'!" Although this is not very in line with my identity as an elegant and kind storyteller, it feels good. ”
After that, Zhuo Qing strode forward! This step was also the first step for the two of them to start their training!
