Chapter 24: The Shadow of the Blood Swamp
In an extremely nervous mood, Qi Wanli extended a wisp of star divine power and probed into the extremely small spatial gap traces, but after a few minutes, there was no reaction at all.
"Dark Yuan, what's going on?" he asked, worried.
Dark Yuan: "Don't worry, I'm analyzing and tracking the traces in the spatial crevices little by little, and it will take a little time." You keep your mind, and once you find the source, you may see the sight on that side. ”
"Okay, then you take your time, I won't bother you. ”
So, Qi Wanli could only stand in place, holding a finger flat, and his fingertips hooked a touch of star divine power, waiting boredly.
After another twenty minutes, suddenly, as if he felt that a fish was biting the hook while fishing, the star divine power wrapped around his fingertips seemed to be pulled hard!
His eyes lit up, but Dark Yuan didn't give any instructions, and he didn't dare to act rashly, so he could only keep the state he had just made.
Then, the tugging sensation kept coming, as if something on the other side was trying to break free, as if it was trying to pull him through this trace of star power.
However, the power of this pull is not great, and this trace of divine power is connected to his Jin Dan, which is extremely stable, and Qi Wanli doesn't even feel that he has added much burden to himself, but it is more interesting than when he stood stupidly just now.
Suddenly, Dark Yuan's voice came with some urgency: "Quick, increase the output of the star's divine power!"
Qi Wanli's pupils condensed, and the Jin Dan in his lower abdomen spun rapidly, and the divine power between his fingers spurted thin!
In the next second, a feeling of the world spinning came.
It's not that my divine power is exhausted or I have been mentally attacked, but I really feel that I am in a whirling environment!
The stone platform and the small room in front of him disappeared, replaced by a cloudy sky, and a huge swirling force around him, pulling him to sink continuously.
"What's the situation? I'm space traveling?"
Qi Wanli was shocked and was about to react, but the voice of the dark yuan immediately sounded in his mind: "Don't move! What you see is the scene at the other end of the space gap!"
"It's just a visual difference, and it's so real?"
Qi Wanli was startled, Dark Yuan's words calmed him down a lot, and after calming down a little, he found that this was indeed the case, his body actually didn't move at all, but the rotating scene felt too strong, completely covering all his vision, which was equivalent to a VR vision with a high degree of realism, deceiving people's brains.
It's like when you play a VR game, you are obviously standing on a flat ground, but if you see the edge of a cliff standing on your feet in the VR vision, you will still subconsciously feel afraid of heights, panic, and even really think that there is a mountain wind blowing next to you.
It is a phenomenon in which the brain discharges itself and affects the senses.
Even though Qi Wanli knows that he is now in a false environment, his feelings are still very real, and he still subconsciously wants to have a mentality of escaping.
"Where is this? Why is this environment?"
However, just a few seconds after he began to think about the problem, the environment regenerated and changed.
It's as if pulled to the bottom by this swirling force.
Gone were the cloudy skies, the whirling and pulling forces gone, and in its place was a crimson world.
The sky looked like a huge cloud of red ink, and beneath his feet was a thick pool of blood...... Qi Wanli was shocked, he remembered here!
When he was in the royal hunting competition outside Yunjing City, he had faced the mutated Thousand Pupil Ape alone, and in the fight, he was carelessly hit, and he was hit by the extremely terrifying spiritual attack of the Thousand Pupil Ape, and his soul was almost crushed, and Dark Yuan put his consciousness into the deepest part in order to protect him, so he came to such a place at that time.
Moreover, he still remembered that he subconsciously shouted the name of this place at that time, Blood Swamp Hell.
"How...... Could it be that this place really exists?!"
Qi Wanli gasped and looked around, but he didn't find the walking dead that appeared in the depths of his consciousness at the beginning, other than that, everything here was exactly the same as the "Blood Swamp Hell" that he saw briefly at that time.
Boundless pools of blood.
Suddenly, his vision changed again, and he felt himself move uncontrollably through the pool of blood, at such speed that the scenery around him blurred.
But in a few seconds, it stopped again.
Dark Yuan's voice came a little tiredly: "This is it, this is the source of the spatial gap, I can hold on for less than ten seconds, you can collect as much information here as possible." ”
Its voice gradually faded, and Qi Wanli didn't have time to be shocked, and hurriedly looked around.
Then he saw a skeleton.
It was a remarkably complete skeleton, sitting in a pool of blood, its head drooping, its hands propped on its legs.
It stands to reason that it has no support or leaning, and a skeleton can't sit cross-legged like this, but it sits like that, its spine straight.
At the same time, the sharp-eyed Qi Wanli found that the surface of this corpse seemed to glow with a faint golden light, but in this rich blood-colored environment, it was not so conspicuous.
"Who is this person?!"
As soon as the thought crossed his mind, his eyes were drawn to the bone's right hand.
There is something under the right hand that is propped up on the leg bone!
However, even though the palm of the hand had turned into white bones, it still firmly clasped the thing in the palm of the hand, covering most of it, and it was impossible to see what it was, and it could only be judged by its size, it was an object smaller than a fist.
"This is the source of the spatial gap, could it be that this corpse is the person who opened the spatial gap at that time and stole the mysterious divine stone?
Qi Wanli had a flash of inspiration and immediately had a guess.
However, he had no chance to continue his exploration, and when the time had come, the environment around him was far away from the boundless pool of blood in an instant, and his mind swelled, and he found himself back in that small room.
The black and white line vision constructed by the dark element is gone, and the star divine power at the fingertips has also been disconnected.
Now, he couldn't see the blue flame on the stone platform, let alone the gap in the space.
At the same time, a feeling of weakness came to his face, and the rotation speed of Jin Dan became much slower.
Moreover, no matter how he called, the dark element would no longer appear, and the outer half had just consumed a lot, and the dark element also needed to rest for a while.
"It's so weird, it's so informative, I need to sort it out......"
Qi Wanli covered his dizzy head and slowly walked out of the room.
The old pope had already explained before, and when he finished investigating, he could leave directly, and the temple had already arranged a residence for him, and he only needed to find a random person in the temple and ask.
As soon as he walked out of the room, the door closed by itself, and the two iron plates attached to the door fell at the same time, the one in the middle of which flew into his hand on its own, and the round one flew away with a whoosh, and the outer half went to look for the old Pope.
"Is there any charm or something else in this iron brand, so intelligent?"
Qi Wanli laughed tiredly and put the sign away.
......
Lying in the room arranged for him by the temple, Qi Wanli looked at the ceiling, and his mind could not be calm for a long time.
He began to suspect that the inexplicable journey that the Star Bearer had arranged for him might have something to do with him, and not just to help the Abyss Emissaries lift the curse.
That Blood Swamp Hell, when his soul was shattered, why did he see it?
Where is the real Bloody Hell?
Is that corpse really the one who stole the Mystic Divine Stone? If so, then he is a ninth-level power that can tear through space? If he is really that powerful, why did he fall into the Blood Swamp Prison and turn into a corpse?
If there really is such a place and such a corpse, what does it have to do with yourself?
The more he thought about it, the more he wondered, and one question was always followed by more questions, endless and unanswerable.
"Dark Yuan, do you know what I'm seeing?" Qi Wanli asked.
However, the dark element did not answer, and it was still resting.
Qi Wanli shook his head, frowned, and thought of a possibility.
"Maelstrom...... Is it the maelstrom that Yubo has mentioned many times?"
"That's where they're going to have their next battle for the new pope, and the star bearer thought I'd be there. In the illusion just now, I also arrived at a place where the world was spinning, and finally sank into the blood swamp hell. ”
"So, if I follow the clues to find the Mystery Divine Stone, it is possible to find the Maelstrom, and then find the Blood Swamp Hell from the bottom of the Matrolpool? ”
"That's right, that's probably the closest conjecture to the truth. ”
Qi Wanli sat up from the bed and rubbed his sore temples, a little distressed.
He had warned himself before not to get too deep into this matter, because his purpose was not to be deeply involved in the various major events of the Abyss Temple, but only to complete the mission of the Star Speaker as soon as possible and save Bai Qiyu through their face......
But it's clear that now he's starting to sink in.
When he first saw that place in the depths of his consciousness, he thought it was just a projection of some of his subconscious or thoughts, and he didn't take it seriously, but now it seems that it is indeed here.
Why does a place that you have never been to, a place that you could not have known, appear in the depths of your consciousness, and you still recognize its name?
This thing has gradually become weird.
For Qi Wanli, it is also a very important thing to find the mysterious divine stone of the Abyss Temple, because this is not only a task given by the star, but also can help the dark element, if he really finds the mysterious divine stone, at least hold it in his hand and let the dark yuan see enough, it will not be a problem, right?
But more importantly, he cared so much about the Blood Swamp Prison and the bones.
