399. The Land of the Unexpected
"Ready, the teleportation is about to begin!"
The voice of the scroll angel was not loud, but it could penetrate the vibration roar of the circle and reach Li Nuo's ears.
Li Nuo drew a gesture to the scroll angel from a distance of dozens of meters, signaling that he was ready.
As a more powerful soul energy poured into the circle, the light on the scene reached its peak, and Li Nuo's eyes were gray, as if he was in an endless sea of gray mist.
He felt his body lighter, and he had the illusion of being wrapped in warm water, suspended in the water.
His body began to sway from side to side with the inexplicable rhythm, and the lines on his body were twisted, straightened, extended, and contracted by invisible forces, as if he was no longer a person, but a mass of three-dimensional geometry composed of countless curves.
A cry of surprise came to mind:
"What? Why does the Star Palace Barrier react to our teleportation ritual? ”
“???” A string of question marks floated through Li Nuo's mind.
Did he hear him right?
Did the Star Palace Barrier react to the teleportation ritual?
Doesn't it mean that after the disappearance of the Star God, Gironz and Senati, the Star Palace Barrier became an ornament?
Without waiting for Li Nuo to shout and ask, another voice came from outside the gray mist:
"Attention! Li Nuo! An unknown being is using the Star Palace Barrier to track our rituals, trying to figure out where I'm going to teleport you. I'll have to increase my energy and speed up the teleportation, or I'll be detected by the other party to your destination!" I suspect it's probably the metal progenitor dragon behind it! It can actually control the Star Palace Barrier to a limited extent, it seems that it must have the treasures of Gironz or Senati in its hands, no wonder it dares to invest so many resources in the inner starry sky, it turns out that it still has this hand to prepare! ”
As the scroll angel spoke, the gray mist around Li Nuo became thicker and thicker, and even became a little sticky.
At the moment when the gray mist sealed him like cement, Li Nuo heard an extremely hazy exclamation.
"Oops!"
Li Nuo just wanted to ask what was going on, and in the next second, the gray mist that enveloped him dragged him upwards out of the Vortex Continent.
In an extremely short period of time, the clouds, the blue and deep sky, and the endless deep sea above the Flying Continent flashed past Li Nuo's eyes, and then he left him far behind him, turning into a tiny dot.
Looking around, Li Nuo only saw endless darkness, only a small area above his head with a few speckles.
"Am I still teleporting?"
Li Nuo raised his arm in confusion, wanting to subconsciously scratch his head, but found that his body limbs were in a state of inability to move, and only his head and eyes could turn in a small area.
Before the teleportation began, when the book angel operated the magic circle, he specially told Li Nuo about the precautions for teleportation.
It's nothing more than three points.
First, do not move, otherwise it will lead to deviations in the transmission trajectory.
The second is that he doesn't have to worry about dying unexpectedly, in fact, when the teleportation begins, his body is transformed into pure energy by the magic circle.
The third is to believe in the ability to shuttle through the core of the "escape" plane. Although this plane core has not joined the Supreme Star Palace, its deeds in shuttle are obvious to all, and Li Nuo does not have to worry about an accident in teleportation.
That... Don't you have to worry about accidents now?
Li Nuo frowned, raised his head slightly, and tried his best to look at the small starry sky above his head.
He felt like he might be stuck in the Star Palace barrier...
Normally, he should fly out of the black hole where the inner starry sky is located, and then fly towards a specific starry sky, but how does he feel stuck in place now?
Li Nuo took a deep breath and thought about it.
After a short while, he realized that he had no way to save himself now, and that he had nothing to do but wait for death or for teleportation to resume.
The darkness around him surrounded him like a quagmire, making Li Nuo feel cold and lonely for no reason.
Li Nuo felt that his body was rapidly hypothermia, and the bad premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger.
Fortunately, the situation quickly took a turn for the better.
A faint gray mist reappeared, starting from Li Nuo's feet and spreading in a circle upwards.
The feeling of warmth once again prevailed, suppressing the chill in the body and dispelling the bitter cold from the darkness.
The appearance of a gray mist seems to symbolize the return of teleportation to normal.
Li Nuo saw hope of escaping.
But before he could see himself flying into the starry sky above him, the gray fog suddenly dissipated, and the cold hit again.
Li Nuo's heart jumped suddenly.
Is this a teleportation circle that failed to activate??
Just as the chill filled his body again, the gray mist reappeared.
This time, the concentration of gray fog was much thicker than the last time, forming a thick "down layer" on the surface of Li Nuo's body, completely blocking the cold from the darkness.
Seeing that the gray mist was about to become as viscous as the teleportation had just begun, Li Nuo's heart lifted, for fear that the gray mist would disappear out of thin air again.
It's okay, it's okay.
The angel of the scroll who presided over the teleportation ceremony was very reliable.
It may have cost him the cost to restart the disrupted teleportation ritual.
Wrapped in gray mist, Li Nuo passed through the "hole" above his head and entered a vast sea of stars.
The moment he stepped into the alien sky, the stars seemed to twinkle neatly because of his arrival, as if in the blink of an eye.
Countless celestial bodies passed by him in the form of white points of light, and it was difficult to distinguish the specific appearance and size of these celestial bodies with his eyes alone, and Li Nuo couldn't even stare at a celestial body that appeared directly in front of him and disappeared directly behind.
It's too fast, it's too fast, and it's in a straight line, and it doesn't bend at all.
Leno could often see a celestial object appear in the form of a star in the extreme distance ahead, and then it would turn into a huge gray planet, and the craters and mountains on the planet's surface would be clearly visible.
It is also thanks to this kind of teleportation across the inner and outer starry sky that there will be no physical collision, otherwise Li Nuo would have been smashed into pulp by countless planets on the way, or swallowed by dazzling stars.
After moving rapidly in the starry sky for an unknown amount of time, a planet with a reddish-brown earth appeared in front of Li Nuo's eyes.
When this planet appeared, the teleportation speed was significantly reduced, and Li Nuo probably guessed that this was his destination.
Leno compares the appearance of the planets with his impressions.
Both are reddish-brown in color, and both have a pitted surface.
However, there should not be a starship hovering in near-earth orbit on the planet image presented by the Book Angel before, right?
Li Nuo looked suspiciously at the starships that looked like catfish, flying smoothly around the planet in near-surface orbits, occasionally dropping dozens of black metal bumps towards the ground.
Li Nuo's gaze followed the metal bumps that fell from the sky, and he vaguely saw the appearance of the thing, as if it was some kind of landing capsule that had descended rapidly from a near-ground orbit to the surface.
Instead of spraying flames to gain counterthrust to slow down the descent before landing, these droppers smashed into the reddish-brown earth with loud noises and dust, leaving black holes in the ground.
A landing capsule that uses gravitational potential energy to drill into the ground? … Li Nuo muttered to himself in his heart.
Did he meet some starfleet on a mission in the planet's subterranean space?
Leno squinted at the closest starship to him.
He was still in a teleportation state at this time, and he was still a short distance from the planet's surface, at the same height as the starship.
Leno wasn't quite sure if these starships would find themselves.
If the crew of a ship saw a large living person or a UFO passing near their ship, they don't know what kind of thoughts they would have...
Leno noticed that on the outer armor plate of the ship, there was a bear head with a blood-dripping blade on its head, which should be the symbol of the fleet to which these starships belonged.
It's a pity.
The Angel of the Book instilled a lot of knowledge about the alien sky in Linuo, but it was all related to extraordinary factors.
Ordinary people like the starfleet in front of him, who were not directly related to the extraordinary factors, were not on the list of the angels of the book, and Li Nuo naturally couldn't recognize their origins.
"Forget it, let's land first."
Li Nuo's gaze moved to the reddish-brown ground that was gradually enlarged, and he was ready to use the "Veil of Separation from the World" to hide his figure as soon as he landed.
But...
But he passed through, straight through the reddish-brown ground.
Li Nuo was obviously stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but feel confused in his heart:
"Isn't the teleportation over yet? Isn't the destination coordinates set by the angel of the scroll on the ground? ”
In a state of energy, Li Nuo shuttled downward through the reddish-brown soil, all the way to a vertical distance of at least three kilometers, before stopping in a basement illuminated by a faint green light.
Now Li Nuo feels that he is in a very strange state.
He seemed to have regained control of his body, but it was not the flesh and blood of the time he left the starry sky, but a genuine skeleton of bones.
The skeletal body sat on a throne made of stone bricks, and the throne stood on a high rock platform, and the ground below the high platform was covered with gold and silver treasures, mixed with bones protruding from beneath the jewels.
The faint green light that barely illuminates this underground space emanates from the lampstand on the stone pillar.
Leno turned his head to see what was glowing green.
There was a crunch of clattering where his head joined his spine, and Leno was suspicious that his head would fall off his fragile spine, forcing him to stop his somewhat reckless movements.
There's still something wrong with the teleportation...
Li Nuo sighed silently in his heart.
The appearance of this planet is similar to that described by the angel of the scroll, but the things on the planet do not match the intelligence.
It is highly likely that he landed on a planet that also has reddish-brown ground.
But where exactly this planet is and what its name is, Li Nuo has no way of knowing for the time being.
Li Nuo pondered for a moment and said silently in his heart:
"Activate the detection spell, the target is myself."
[You are currently in a state of immobility, it is recommended to use the spell blueprint with the nasal voice to cast the sonic detection spell "Sound Searching".] 】
The system text condensed in his mind, and Li Nuo quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
He glanced at the spell blueprints that came to mind, and tried to snuff out a soft grunt from the tip of his nose.
The faint and almost incomprehensible nasal voice turned into sound waves, which quickly swept up and down Li Nuo's body, and then reflected back into Li Nuo's mind, helping Li Nuo complete a simple self-detection.
[The Power of Senati locks on your body, and you can't use most of your abilities for the time being.] 】
[This effect lasts for 13 minutes and 22 seconds.] When the countdown ends, the Power of Senati disappears and you will regain your mobility. 】
[At the same time, under the influence of [Cenati Power], you are temporarily in the form of an ancient skeleton.] At the end of the countdown, you can use magic to restore your original form. 】
It seems that the problem with the transmission process is quite ordinary.
During the last few days of his stay in the starry sky, the Angel of the Book said that the chanting ritual he had arranged in collaboration with the core of the "escaped" plane would protect Leno from the influence of the "Power of Gironz" and "The Power of Senati".
The "Gironz Power" will be trapped in the inner starry sky by the creatures of the inner starry sky, while the "Cenati Power" will allow the things in the inner starry sky to quickly undergo space-time evolution and evolve into a specific image when they enter the outer starry sky.
The dark scene encountered during the teleportation process is supposed to be the result of the "Gironz Power" acting on him.
Now, he has left the inner starry sky, and the "Gironz Power" has not left him behind, but the "Senati Power" has caused a lot of trouble.
Fortunately, the "Power of Senati" will fade on its own, and Li Nuo will not have to worry about maintaining his immovable skeleton image forever.
Then just wait.
By the time the countdown is over, I'll be a living human again.
"Boom..."
The tremors came from above, and sand and gravel fell between the cracks in the stone of the ceiling.
"Oh, by the way, how did I forget about those landing pods that can burrow into the ground."
Li Nuo's heart sank slightly, realizing that the basement he was in was full of treasures, and it was likely to attract uninvited guests.
Li Nuo silently recited in his heart:
"Look for Control, Defense, Detection, and Attack spells that can be cast in their current state."
The "Heart of Magic" is not in Li Nuo's skeletal body, but in his soul, so there is no need to worry about outsiders seeing a glittering heart of magic in this skeleton.
As long as Li Nuo needs it, the "Heart of Magic" can give accurate answers at any time.
[The current control spells that can be cast are "Filthy Whispering", "Upside Down", and "Dirt Technique.] 】
[The current defensive spells that can be cast are "Mind Bone Shield" and "Golden Wall and Silver Wall.] 】
[The currently available detection spell is "Sound Search.] 】
[The offensive spells that can be cast are "Mind Bone Sword" and "Treasure Shot.] 】
Li Nuo nodded slightly.
Although there was no panel information, he could still see some doorways from these spells.
The "Zenati Power" only fixed his body, and his consciousness, spirit, and telekinesis were still available.
Li Nuo puffed out his chest with all his might, snorted heavily, and squeezed a large cloud of air out of his nasal cavity, casting a dull sound wave.
The "Sound Search" was cast again, this time targeting the area outside of the chamber. (End of chapter)
