Chapter 109: Underground (11)
Walking on the soft, slippery tongue coating...... Self is not a pleasant experience.
Prunella, whose scalp was numb, resisted the discomfort and forced herself to move her legs across her tongue to the other side of the gums.
As he stepped down the 'steps', he repeated a deep exhalation that he had done for an unknown number of times, and then looked ahead.
And there's nothing ahead of you -
Except for those rays of light...... Seems to be a little brighter?
Xia Kucao knew very well that his actions were no different from a moth fighting a fire—he didn't know what the light source was, nor how far away that light source was, so he couldn't tell whether what he was actively moving towards was Wen Yan's hope...... Will it be a cold death?
But he's still moving forward -
Because it's not his style to sit back and wait, he's more willing to take a risk than stay in place and wait for help.
And since he had not been directly sucked into the belly by this giant whale and died, now he ...... Maybe we can look forward to the so-called 'great calamity'...... And the subsequent 'there will be a blessing'?
......
......
The first thing that caught his eye was the indiscriminate growth of polyps and sticky mucus - Prunella recognized these things, and he knew very well that the whale's mouth was not in good condition - Perhaps the food in this underground freshwater lake is not to its liking, this giant whale is obviously a little angry, the so-called ulcers of humans can be seen everywhere, these wounds that are often half a human or even a person high often have a layer of mucus on the surface, and Prunella does not dare to touch it, because in his own experience, he knows very well the pain of these small wounds, so even for the sake of his own small life, he should bypass it far away, instead of rashly taking some unnecessary risks.
It's just that now he ...... Seems like you have to do something risky?
A stone tablet glowing with a faint white light lingered in his sight, as if the ivory stone tablet was half submerged in flesh at one end, and the reddish blood and yellowish mucus firmly wrapped it, but this somewhat stomach-upsetting sight could not hide the light that bloomed from the stone tablet and the sacred smell that followed.
Prunella's breath couldn't help but increase slightly.
Because he knows such things.
"Cornerstone of Glory?"
He couldn't laugh or cry for a while—he didn't know much about this Holy See relic, but based on Bai Li's reaction, he could more or less deduce the importance of this thing to the Holy See, and it was really hard for him to imagine that he could see the other at this time before he had obtained one of them in the previous fate.
And he couldn't help but be a little disappointed-
Although the blooming light of this cornerstone of glory undoubtedly reminded him that he also had a cornerstone of glory, so if he manifested it, he could have this light from this walking in the ground or from the mouth of a giant whale, but the source of the light source was only this cornerstone of glory that he already had, and the little hope in his heart was dashed—although he did not know what he was expecting.
Thinking like this, Xia Kucao still subconsciously stretched out his hand to the stone tablet - he hadn't forgotten that the foundation stone of glory on his body was not right, and he would need to return it to the little saintess one day, and if he had a second one in his hand at that time, then whether it was to make up for his own strength or to negotiate some conditions with the Holy See as a price - such as keeping Su Hexiang, there would always be some additional use.
But he only scratched the corner - he had just stretched out his hand when he found that he no longer seemed to be in the mouth of the whale.
- He came to an infinite void.
The light in front of him, the indiscriminate growth of polyps and the squirming and flowing slime, and everything that should have existed, disappeared abruptly, leaving only a vast void that he had never seen before—no, Xia Wither suddenly remembered that she had seen this infinite darkness—when he lifted the ban.
He couldn't help but be shocked.
What is this situation?
You must know that when he sealed the glorious foundation of the little saint before, there was no such situation as now.
Xia Kucao couldn't help but look around, but there was only a void around him, so after a little look, he immediately remembered something, and suddenly looked up-
I saw stars dotting the sky, what a boundless starry sky!
He was momentarily stunned—and then remembered that he had seen such a sight, and that it wasn't long ago—
"Isn't it beautiful?"
Xia Kucao suddenly looked back when she heard this, and then she was greatly stunned-
What a beautiful man he is!
He saw a smiling man standing tall, with long silver hair tied behind the other party's head, his facial features were as perfect as if they were painted, his face was like a crown of jade, and his sword eyebrows and starry eyes were not enough to describe the other party's appearance.
Xia Kucao looked at this man who appeared out of nowhere, and was shocked and speechless for a while, although he was young, he had really seen a lot of beautiful men - those stars who may have some traces of artificiality before crossing needless to say, the white quartz that is as beautiful as a woman and the indifferent Haijinsha who is like a plum are among the best, and they are his friends, so his appearance can only be said to be calm and simple, and he has some tolerance for the beautiful faces born by men.
But at this time, he still couldn't suppress the shock and appreciation in his heart.
So beautiful...... Is it really human?
Prunella quickly remembered the environment in which she lived, and in a trance came to a conclusion that was not far from the truth.
Seeing that Xia Kucao's eyes regained their brightness, the man smiled slightly, his slender fingers gently brushing the silver robe he was wearing, and then said with a smile: "Holy Contractor, come to see me, what questions do you have?"
The Divine Contractor?
What is that?
Prunella frowned slightly.
The man seemed to be able to see the doubts in Xia Kucao's heart, and explained with a smile: "You have the foundation stone of glory, and you have embarked on the path of divine kingdom, and you have been recognized as a divine contractor. ”
"The cornerstone of my glory is not mine. Xia Kucao replied honestly, in the face of this mysterious man with an extremely beautiful appearance and a kind attitude, he somehow couldn't raise much of a guard, and even forgot his own situation for a while.
"It doesn't matter. The man smiled again and replied, "The important thing is that the Cornerstone of Glory has acknowledged you, and then you are his master." ”
"But I don't understand, why did you come to see me again, when you are already a divine contractor?"
He paused and smiled, "And, what about your contractor?"
Xia Wither scratched his head with a headache, he was not stupid, he knew that he was in the mouth of the whale and the cornerstone of glory. This extremely handsome man and this special space are definitely a whole, and he is probably caught in some kind of adventure, but unfortunately, as usual, he is very interested in sitting down and talking to each other, but now he is in the mouth of a whale under the lake, and there are two friends on the lake who must be trying to rescue him, and in the distance, I don't know how far, there is a little girl waiting for him, so he really does not have the energy and time to talk to each other about anything.
The man with his hands in his sleeves floated in the dark void - in fact, it was the same with Prunella, he seemed to see Prunella's irritability again, and couldn't help but smile slightly, and said, "It seems that you have a lot of questions, so you come to ask me." ”
"Good. Prunella calmed down a little, and then immediately asked, "Where is this, and how do I get out of here?"
Coming and leaving?
The handsome man was obviously extremely surprised, although he never showed it to the outside, but he knew that his identity and status were not trivial, and ordinary people were afraid that they should be moved to cry when they saw him, and the young man in front of him ...... But that's how you react?
Where is this place?
He raised his eyebrows, and also realized that things seemed to be completely contrary to what he was thinking, and he couldn't help but speak quietly: "This is the realm of reflections, the projection of your inner thoughts, you are a sealer, you should always know how to leave your own small world." ”
"But I'm afraid it's not this ...... you're asking," the man paused slightly, and then said tentatively, "Here...... Isn't it a temple of meditation?"
A temple of meditation?
Your meditation hall is in the mouth of a whale?
Prunella shook her head, disappointed.
