Volume II, Chapter 127
Chen Fan immediately walked to a nearby tree to check, but never found any marks left behind.
"Why is this happening?" Chen Fan whispered suspiciously, "Could it be that the mark engraved on the tree will be erased......?"
Chen Fan immediately pulled out the dagger he was carrying with him and carved a horizontal line on the tree.
Luo Qingyun and the three of them also walked over, watched his movements, and asked puzzledly, "Chen Fan, what are you doing?"
Chen Fan pointed to the body of the tree and said, "You look at the line I carved. ”
"Thread? Are you a sculptor? What's so good about the thread you carve...... Huh?" Luo Qingyun let out an exclamation, only to see that the line on the tree gradually closed, and finally returned to its original state.
"How so?" the three of them asked in unison.
Chen Fan smiled lightly and said, "It seems that the name of this crystal energy is called Giant Wood Crystal Energy." ”
"Giant Wood Crystal Energy?"
"That's right, it's the only one that has the ability to manipulate all plants, and the tree healing phenomenon you see is also due to the influence of this crystal, understand?"
"Understood!" the three nodded.
"Chen Fan is really powerful!" Luo Qingyun said, "Since we know the true face of Jing Neng, what should we do next?"
"It's very simple!" Chen Fan said, "We just need to find the location of the crystal energy." ”
"What's the difference between this and not saying it!" Luo Qingyun complained: "Who doesn't know how to find crystal energy?
"Who knows?" Chen Fan said lightly: "Let's continue walking, there may be some discoveries." ”
"Hey, Chen Fan, we're lost now, why don't we keep walking?"
Yue Wuya suddenly answered, "Wait a minute. Brother Chen, I seem to have thought of something. ”
Everyone asked in unison, "What do you think of?"
Yue Wuya touched his chin and said, "Don't you think it's strange, why is the power of crystal energy so uniform here?"
Luo Qingyun said: "Probably the power of crystal energy is very strong, so it is strong no matter where it is." ”
"Of course not!" Yue Wuya said, "No matter how powerful it is, there is always a source that is stronger than other places, right?"
Rose said, "Could it be that the crystal energy is buried deep underground?" So it acts equally on the ground?"
"Makes sense! I had doubts about Rose's idea, but when I thought about it, I rejected it. ”
"So what are you trying to say? Don't sell it. Luo Qingyun was already starting to lose his patience.
"All I want to say is ......"
"It's just that this is a virtual world created by the power of crystal energy. When Yue Wuya was about to uncover the mystery, Chen Fan took the lead and said, "That's why the amount of crystal power felt here will be equal everywhere, is that so?"
Yue Wuya nodded and said, "Not bad!"
"If you say that, aren't we trapped in a space that is disconnected from the outside world?" Luo Qingyun exclaimed, "Create a virtual space." Is there really such a thing in the world?"
"Of course there is, even if it is difficult, but it is not completely impossible. ”
Rose asked, "How can we get out?"
"Understand the principle, it's simple!" Yue Wuya said, "As long as there is a force greater than the power of this space, then this space can be broken." ”
Hear here. Everyone looked at Chen Fan together.
"......" Chen Fan looked at the expectation and hope in everyone's eyes, and said helplessly: "I understand, do you want me to go out again?"
Hearing Chen Fan say this, the three of them immediately nodded their heads.
"Really, stay away from me. ”
After receiving the instructions, everyone immediately walked to Chen Fan's place ten meters away.
After Chen Fan saw everyone leaving, he immediately shouted, "Thunder Fury!" With Chen Fan's order, a large number of auras immediately accumulated around Chen Fan. Chen Fan raised the Xuantian Ring Ruler and shouted while waving it downward, "Drink!"
In an instant, several huge auras immediately erupted from the Xuantian Ring Ruler. Then keep gliding forward.
The trees immediately burned, and a passage formed by flames immediately appeared along the path of the aura, and the flames immediately scorched the large forest in front of them, and suddenly, the surrounding smoke billowed and the flames soared into the sky.
"This is the power of Brother Chen Fan?" Rose said in amazement, "Compared to my brother's silver dragon spear, it seems to be several times stronger." ”
"I don't think this blow has been infused with all its strength!" Luo Qingyun said proudly, "I've seen this trick once. It was even more amazing than this one!"
"Boom!" A loud bang pierced through the sky, and the aura immediately exploded a huge explosion dozens of meters in front of Chen Fan. A large area of trees was immediately razed to the ground. It could be destroyed by a powerful force, in the place where the aura exploded. A large crack like a spider's web immediately appeared in the empty air, and then, only a loud "bang" was heard, the spider web shattered like glass, and a huge crack immediately appeared in front of the eyes of the four people, and then a fierce wind blew out of the crack, as if to say: I can't let you through!
"That's it! That's the exit of space!" Luo Qingyun shouted, pulling Rose and flying towards the rift quickly.
Chen Fan shouted loudly in front of the entrance of the cave: "Qingyun, Rose, hurry up! This crack will close soon!"
Hearing Chen Fan's words, Luo Qingyun immediately pulled up Rose and ran towards the crack against the strong wind, but at this moment, he saw that the trees that had just been destroyed by the aura quickly regrew from the ground, not only trees, but even weeds and flowers also grew rapidly with the trees, and the flames that originally burned the forest gradually retreated without water, and the path that the aura flew over was immediately covered with trees and grass again.
At the same time, something like shards of glass kept flying into the crack in the air, filling the gap, and the volume of the crack was compressing inward at a high speed.
At this time, Yue Wuya had already come to the mouth of the rift, and he shouted at Luo Qingyun and Rose: "Miss Luo, Rose, hurry up, the entrance of the cave is about to close!"
Luo Qingyun and Rose were at least fifty meters away from the entrance of the cave. Originally, if Luo Qingyun ran fifty meters alone, he would soon reach the finish line, but now that he was not only pulling Rose, but also having to withstand the strong wind, Luo Qingyun was a little struggling.
The entrance to the cave was about to be closed. But now it is only twenty meters shortened, and Luo Qingyun is more and more anxious: "Damn, I can't catch up at all if I go on like this!"
"Sister Qingyun, or you ...... me"
"What stupid things are you talking about!" Before Rose's words were finished, Luo Qingyun had already shouted loudly: "If you want to say, 'If I give up on you and I will run faster', I advise you not to say it." ”
"Boundless. You go to the crack first!" Chen Fan said loudly: "I'll go and pick up Luo Qingyun and the others." ”
"Understood!" Yue Wuya received Chen Fan's order and immediately did so.
So, Chen Fan hugged Luo Qingyun and Rose, and finally escaped from this virtual space formed by giant wood crystal energy before the crack closed.
"Ah...... Ah......h
"Fortunately, Chen Fan brought us over!" Luo Qingyun gasped and said, "If it weren't for me, I wouldn't know if I would have been able to get out of that space." ”
"Okay, there is no need to say the kind words again!" Chen Fan's words interrupted everyone's words: "I think we have returned to reality now." ”
"How can you be so sure?" Luo Qingyun looked around at the trees. He asked, "I don't think it's any different from anywhere, it's deep shade, and all the plants are big." ”
"No, look!" Chen Fan pointed to the trunk of a tree and said, "This is the mark I made on the tree after I came out, and it has not disappeared now, so I know that we have returned." ”
Everyone invariably looked at the body of the tree that Chen Fan pointed to, and sure enough, they found that the scratch showed no sign of disappearing, and everyone immediately calmed down.
Yue Wuya asked, "Brother Chen." What should we do now?"
"Don't think about what to do!" Luo Qingyun said suddenly, "Because I can already feel the location of the giant wood crystal energy." ”
Everyone asked in unison, "Really?"
"Of course!" Luo Qingyun stood up, waved his hand to everyone, and said, "Then let me lead the way." Let's move on!"
Everyone formed the team just now, and followed Luo Qingyun forward in the grass.
Walking on the grassy forest road, although this place is called the Mira Forest where monsters are entrenched, Luo Qingyun and his party walked in the forest for about five hours, but they couldn't even meet a monster, let alone a monster. I haven't even encountered any poisonous snakes, poisonous spiders, and other forest "specialties".
Yue Wuya began to wonder if he had entered the wrong forest, but looking at the enchantment just now and what Luo Qingyun said about the power that could detect crystal energy. I shouldn't have gone the wrong way, but why can't I meet a monster?
But the scenery here is really the same. They are all tall trees, overgrown with weeds, and there are many strange flowers, and Luo Qingyun is like a flower thief, he pulls one when he sees one, maybe because he has not seen it, so he has to take it back to study! This is the hobby of researchers, and everyone didn't pay too much attention to it, and what people care about is the backpack that Luo Qingyun is carrying, why Luo Qingyun stuffed those things into it, and the backpack won't burst?
After walking for more than two hours, it was already eight o'clock in the evening, and since the forest was sheltered from the sky, even at night, the scenery here had not changed much.
Luo Qingyun reminded, "We are already very close to the Giant Wood Crystal Energy. ”
Yue Wuya said, "How far is it? My feet are already very painful. ”
"It's about four kilometers away. ”
"Four kilometers!" Yue Wuya shouted, "Is this still called approaching?"
Luo Qingyun asked confidently: "When we first came out of the virtual world, we were eight kilometers apart, and now it's four kilometers, isn't it already close?"
"So we've come this far, no wonder my feet are ......"
"Shhhhh
Although they didn't know what was going on, seeing the nervous look on Chen Fan's face, everyone obediently followed Chen Fan's words and lay down in the grass.
"Chen Fan!" Luo Qingyun asked in a low voice, "What happened?"
"Something approaches, don't make a sound!"
"Rustling ......" At that moment, there was a sound of grass from the front, which told everyone that something was approaching. And there was more than one, although I don't know what it was, but just listening to the sound knew that the speed of this thing was very fast.
The sound of "rustle!" gradually grew closer and closer, and although they knew that encountering monsters was inevitable, everyone was actually mentally prepared. But in this dark environment, hearing this "rustling" sound can also make people shudder, so everyone's heart rate keeps increasing.
The sound of "rustling ......" had arrived, but soon, it had receded. Then kept moving away, it seemed that these things did not stop because of Chen Fan and them, but seemed to be running towards one place.
Hearing the "rustling" sound behind him gradually disappearing, Luo Qingyun asked in a low voice, "Chen Fan, they seem to be gone." Can we get up?"
Chen Fan said cautiously: "In case they will come back, let's wait a little longer." ”
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, the sound of "rustling" had long since disappeared, and the surrounding area had returned to its original silence.
Luo Qingyun asked again, "Chen Fan, how is it now?"
Chen Fan half-squatted, looked around from the gap in the grass, and said, "I think they have gone far, let's get up." ”
Received instructions from Chen Fan. Everyone stood up one after another, and Luo Qingyun said, "What is that thing? I heard the sound of grass just now, and the speed seems to be quite fast." ”
"Brother Chen Fan!" Rose said, "Could it be those dinosaur-like monsters last time?" ”
"It's possible!" Chen Fan said, "You can run at that speed in this grass." I think it's only the monster from last time. ”
"They seem to be in a hurry, where are they going?"
Luo Qingyun said, "They shouldn't find out that we broke through their barrier, right?"
"It's possible!" Chen Fan said, "After all, that direction seems to be where we just came out of the virtual world." ”
"But it doesn't seem to make sense to say that!" Luo Qingyun said, "It's been several hours since we came out, why have they only found out now?"
"You have a point!" Yue Wuya said, "Besides, they just passed us, and they didn't know that there were people here, so they didn't know that we had come in." ”
"I hope so!" Chen Fan said, "Okay, let's move on." It's night, and it looks like the monsters are starting to move. We have to be careful. ”
"Understood," the crowd replied in unison.
"So let's move on!"
The four of them followed Luo Qingyun's instructions and kept moving forward, originally feeling that the big trees and grass around them had not changed much. And the surroundings are still pitch black at all times, I don't know if it's a psychological relationship, the four of them feel that every time they take a step forward, this darkness is deeper.
This feeling is like being surrounded by a dark miasma in a dark environment, so the visual appearance is no different, but the physical feeling is very different, although everyone does not say it, but the dark depression in the heart is coincidental.
The four of them did not speak, not because they had no topic, but because they did not dare to speak out, they had the illusion that there were many ears around them, as long as their mouths made the slightest sound, even if it was a faint breathing sound, their whereabouts would be discovered, which may be the depression brought by the darkness!
However, no matter how much this kind of depression is, they still walked half a kilometer "all the way safely", and now they are still about half an hour away from the distance from crystal energy that Luo Qingyun said.
"Stop!" Luo Qingyun suddenly whispered.
Although Luo Qingyun's word "stop" was very soft, because everyone was on high alert, and they were full of thoughts about danger and didn't know when it would come, they suddenly heard Luo Qingyun's voice without warning, and everyone couldn't help but be startled.
Yue Wuya scolded in a low voice: "I'm scared to death, can you give some hints before you speak next time?"
Luo Qingyun said sarcastically: "This also scares you? Your courage is not ordinary!"
"How can this be ......?"
"Okay, don't make any noise!" Chen Fan said: "Qingyun, have you found something?
"It seems to be...... There are a large number of enemies!" Luo Qingyun pointed to the front and said in surprise: "Look at it!"
The three of them immediately walked up, and when they saw the scenery in front of them, they couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
"This is ......," Luo Qingyun was speechless.
Yue Wuya exclaimed, "A castle?"
Rose also felt incredible: "How can there be such a place in the Mira Forest?"
I saw a tower building about twenty meters high standing outside the grass, although it was pitch black around, but with the help of "night vision goggles", Luo Qingyun could see the whole picture of the tower.
The tower is about 50 meters high and has a floor area of at least 5,000 square meters, and although it looks like a tower, the size of the building is so large that it is more appropriate to call it a castle than a tower.
The castle is architecturally a bit like a Mayan pyramid, with a large triangular pyramid on all four sides of the wall about six meters high, with a long staircase on each of the four sides leading up to the spire.
The tower table is neither carved with any exquisite patterns, nor embedded with any luxurious gemstones, from a distance, it is just a pyramid made of stone, a little simple, and the most shocking thing for Chen Fan and them is that there are actually some strange people patrolling on the wall, of course, Chen Fan is shocked because it is not these strange people who will hinder his actions to save people, but to be precise, Chen Fan has not thought of this at all.
Chen Fan saw the strange people patrolling, and realized in his mind that there are definitely more than one or two strange people, since a few can be dispatched to patrol the city, there must be many more, and the number of strange people is not the point, what Chen Fan really cares about is that if a strange person needs a human base to be born, then so many strange people, how many humans do you need to be satisfied?
Ten, a hundred, or even a thousand? (To be continued)
