"I can't remember how long I've been here, but it's like I've been here since I was born."

Xu Yi heard the old man say such a sentence, the moment he heard this sentence, he was very shocked in his heart, if the old man can give an agreement, a very accurate time, an accurate answer, then Xu Yi may not be so surprised in his heart, so shocked.

But to be honest, when asking this question, Xu Yi also thought in his heart that it is very difficult to get an accurate time, because in this dark world, the existence of time has actually become very blurred.

Because in fact, if it is in the outside world, then people's concept of time is usually simply predicted through clocks or the sun, but in this dark world, there is nothing that can calculate time.

There was no sun in it, it was all darkness in the sky, not even the new city, it was completely dark, without any color or embellishment.

If you look up at the sky, you will feel as if you are in the middle of endless darkness and you can't see your fingers, but in fact it is only because the sky is completely black, and you can still see your body when you reach out your hand.

In this world, the source of light comes from the stones on the ground.

These stones are capable of emitting a very faint light, and this faint light gathered together is enough to provide a certain level of sight.

However, because there is no sun, it is impossible to calculate the time of the day by sunrise and sunset, and clocks and watches cannot exist at all in this world, even if they really exist, even if there are some great martial artists who wear watches when they come in, then for such a long time, because there is no power supply at all, so clocks and watches cannot be used at all.

When Xu Yi heard the old man say this, he only felt a little numb on his scalp, after all, it was as if he had been here since he was born, how desperate was this feeling, how long did he stay to have such a feeling?

If you stay here for a year or two or even longer, then you will definitely not feel like this, you will only feel like you have been here for a long, long time, and you will not have the feeling of staying here all the time, since you were born.

Generally speaking, when this happens, if you have such a poor memory, it must be because you have been here for a very long time, causing you to have forgotten a little about the outside world.

Little by little, people's memories are forgotten.

"Are you saying you've been here for a long, long time? In the midst of this, haven't you tried to find another exit? Isn't there any other way out of this world than that door in the sky? ”

In fact, when I came to this world, now that I have figured out the basic situation of this world, the next thing is actually the direction that needs to be found the most, and naturally how to get out of here.

But it certainly won't be so fast, after all, it's just now that I'm just coming to this world, and there are still a lot of places to explore in this world.

It's just that now I met this old man and started communicating with this old man, so Xue Xu Yi naturally talked about these problems.

"Everyone who goes out here wants to get out, and after everyone comes here, they will walk around the world, trying to find a way to get out, but a long, long time has passed, and no one can find out, and there is no such exit at all."

The old man sat here quietly, he was like a statue.

If this is in the outside world, then an old man like this may sit in it, maybe he will have a cigarette in his mouth, he may look at the plants or animals in the yard, and his mood may be more leisurely and happy.

But now in the face of boundless darkness, the old man was like a statue, lifeless.

It's not so much a living old man as a statue long dead, but the statue is still alive, able to talk to itself, to answer its own questions, and that's it.

"Before you came, everyone here thought that a door in the sky could be the last hope, but you came, you tried, and the final result you knew best, you succeeded in dashing everyone's last hope."

There is actually no sense of blame in the old man's words, although when he said it, Xu Yi had a feeling that he seemed to be blaming himself, as if his appearance had destroyed the hope of all of them, but in the old man's words, there was indeed no sense of blame.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to."

But Xu Yi still said sorry.

In Xu Yi's heart, it is actually very understandable, because the people in it live hopelessly here, facing the boundless darkness, and there is no color in their daily life, in this case, the last hope is the door in the sky, which may be used as their own exit, in fact, the meaning of all people's lives.

But now this hope of survival has been completely declared lost.

"You don't need to apologize, in fact, we people need to thank you in comparison, because if there really is another exit in this world, then we have to shift our goals to find him."

The old man looked at Xu Yi blankly.

"Because now, at least for a long time, everyone has been like the door in the sky as the last hope, and if we keep working towards this false hope, it will be too long and too long."

In this world, time is actually the most precious, but it is also the least precious.

Because in this world, everyone's lives are frozen, just like the normal life of the world here, but time has always stayed at the same point in time, at least for so long, their lives have not ended.

Even if they are all great sect-level martial artists, under normal circumstances, the life of a large-level martial artist is actually only about a thousand years, but some of them may have been here for more than a thousand years.

And their current appearance is the same as when they came in, although it may be said that their faces will become very haggard, but this haggard is only caused by the lack of hope, the lack of hope, and the darkness of facing despair every day, not because of aging.

So in this case, everyone says that there is infinite time, and it is really not so precious for everyone, and they have a lot of time to make a search, but the reason why time is particularly precious is because under this condition, everyone has been here for too long, too long, and no one wants to stay here anymore, even if it is only for a second or a minute, no one wants to stay here.

In the face of this boundless darkness, when I wake up every day and see the same scene, I really have the urge to go crazy and want to commit suicide.

So if you can go out early, then it is really the most desirable thing for everyone.

So in this case, of course, time is very precious, and everyone is eager to make full use of all the time, find the exit as quickly as possible, and leave here.

But after so many years and such a long time, there is still no way.

So today's arrival has eliminated one for them, and everyone thinks it is the most promising answer, this thing is actually for many people with fragile minds, or for those warriors who have been here for a long, long time and are already on the verge of collapse, it may indeed make them collapse and lose all hope.

But for the other part of the people who are still full of fighting spirit, full of hope, and have extremely high expectations of going out, Xu Yi's appearance helps them eliminate an option, so that they don't need to continue to waste time in this wrong direction.

But where the new direction is no one knows.

"How many people are trapped here in this world?"

Xu Yi asked this question, he looked around, and saw that all the surroundings were black stones, and at the same time there was a kind of black vegetation, which actually didn't look much different from the vegetation outside, the only difference was that their color was black.

There are quite a few black houses around here.

This world seems to be big or small, but how big it is Xu Yi is not particularly clear now, because the whole world looks black, which makes it impossible to judge how big this world is by the naked eye.

"If I'm not mistaken, there are a total of one hundred and sixty-seven people, including one hundred and forty Great Venerable-level martial artists, and twenty-seven high-level martial king-level martial artists."

The old man didn't think too much, and when he said this, he said it almost instantly, although he said that there was such a sentence in his previous sentence, if he didn't remember such a thing by mistake, but in fact, Xu Yi could hear that he said it in a very certain tone.

Such details show that he already knows the world very well, and it is very likely that all the people in it already know each other.

And that's exactly what it is.

After all, there are so many people, all of whom are staying in this dark world, and people need to communicate, so for such a long time, even if you know a person a day, more than a hundred days are enough to know all of them, and even if you know a person in a year, then you will know all of them for more than a hundred years.

And from the words of this old man, it is very likely that these people have been here for more than a hundred years.

Because it had been two hundred years since the last time that a Great Venerable-level martial artist entered this world, it was enough for all of them to know each other.

Xu Yi sighed.

If Xu Yi came to this world by himself now, then he might really be very disappointed and regret it very much, but now Xu Yi feels good in his heart.

Because after all, you have the existence of the system space, even if you are in this world, you can't get out in a short period of time, but if you need something, then at least you can get it directly through the system space.

In other words, even if you have to be trapped here for a long time, then your life can be very nourishing.

As for the side of the family, in fact, if it is true that he needs to stay here for many years and needs to think of a lot of ways, then Xu Yi can completely split out a split body with the same appearance as himself outside.

In fact, Xu Yi had already done it at the very beginning.

So anyway, if you want to worry about things here, if you don't want to worry about it at home, you can completely let the split body replace you, stabilize the mood over there first, and have enough time to crack the secret here.

Since this place exists, it is certainly not so simple, and learning does not feel that the world exists in a cage way, because there is no need.

And all the people here weren't exiled here because they had made any mistakes, they just came here out of curiosity.

There's definitely something wrong with that.

Xu Yi casually found a place to sit down first, looking at the surrounding situation while also paying attention to the current situation in the spiritual network, on the Earl grassland outside the door.

The situation on the Earl Prairie has become very obvious now.

Although the strange beasts were all rushing towards this position of the gate in the center of the Earl Grassland, when they were about to arrive here, they immediately stopped, they just surrounded the surrounding directions like a circle, and did not rush forward to continue the attack.

In this case, there is no direct measure to destroy them.

on the ground.

Li Meihong saw that all the strange beasts around him had stopped, knowing that this strange beast would not rush over again, at least the crisis he was facing was temporarily lifted, so he set his eyes on this mysterious door again.

"What did Xu Yi say?"

Just now, the split continued, and people like Li Meihong and others said the following situation.

But just now, because she was engrossed in looking at the strange beasts rushing around her, after all, the shock brought by these strange beasts was actually very, very large, so this caused Li Meihong not to hear it very clearly just now.

"Our boss said that the situation below is very complicated, let's not go down any further, and the secret below has nothing to do with becoming a great honorable level, so it's best not to go in."

Of course, the schisms are clear about the real situation in the world, but they can't say it in particular detail, because the words that come out of this matter are too terrifying and too spiritual.

Think about it, after all, Li Meihong's people all live in a world of high-level martial arts kings, that is, the strongest combat power, and in this case, they suddenly discovered that in this world, there is a door to the underground world, and behind this door is actually a cage and there are more than a hundred martial artists of the Great Venerable level.

It's a little too scary.

And on the other hand, it is also because the strength of all the martial artists in this underground world is very strong, and even if Li Meihong's people come in, their strength is very weak, and they can't help anything, but will bring some trouble.

After all, even the Great Venerable-level martial artists are trapped here, not to mention the Martial King-level people like Li Meihong.

Although Xu Yi said that he was confident that he would be able to get out of here, if Li Meihong's people also came in, then with these people, if there was any situation at that time, they would definitely need the strength of the Great Venerable level to be able to get out, and then things would become very troublesome.

"What's going on next? Why can't we go down? ”

Li Meihong was very puzzled.

Because he really couldn't imagine what the situation below was, what it was, Xu Yi would say that the situation below was very complicated, so let them not go down.

"Doesn't this have anything to do with the secrets of the Great Venerable level?"

Qian Lao's attention was on the latter sentence, and when he heard that the situation below had nothing to do with the secret of becoming a great venerable, he was also a little disappointed.

Because to be honest, he has come all the way, all the motivation, all the sources are to become a great Zun level martial artist, but he has already found this level, and he has already discovered another world, and he was originally very excited in his heart at this level, because in his opinion, this may be the closest to becoming a great sect-level martial artist.

But it doesn't matter if you don't think about it.

Everyone believed in Xu Yi's words very much.

Because whether it is Xu Yi's strength or the usual times, Xu Yi can feel very clearly that Xu Yi is indeed a very reliable and very trustworthy person.

"No, I have to go down."

Li Meihong shook her head, no matter what, he wanted to go down and take a look.

Because what he actually wants to do most in his life is to help his master fulfill his last wish, and now this wish has actually been completed, so he has no regrets in this life, and now the door of this underground world is open, if he doesn't go in now, then this will become his regret again.

"Otherwise, Qian Lao and you don't want to go down, I'll go down and take a look."

Li Meihong glanced at her team members, her team members had the best relationship with him, and in this uncertain situation, and Xu Yi also said very clearly, the following situation is very complicated, in this case, in fact, there is no need for everyone to go down.

"No, if you want to go down, let's go down together, don't forget that we are a team, like family, how can you let you go by yourself and we will leave you behind!"

Li Weihong's team members immediately rejected his idea, because everyone stayed together all the time, and the relationship was so good, there was no such thing as giving up one person or leaving one behind.

"Old man, I have been pursuing the hope of becoming a Dazun level all my life, and now even if Mr. Xu says that this has nothing to do with becoming a Dazun level martial artist, then before I die, I can take a look at this underground world, and take a look at another world, and I will die without regrets."

Qian Lao also shook his head.

For Qian Lao, his only hope in this life is to become a martial artist at the level of Dazun, and it can't be said that it is a dream, but now that this dream has become unattainable, then at least, he hopes to be able to see something different again.

For example, this underworld.

Along the way, I came to the Earl grassland, and I have been moving forward and encountered all kinds of dangers, although this danger is not in any critical situation under the protection of Xu Yi and others, but it is true that everyone has made efforts.

And now that the results of this effort are in front of me, it is indeed more difficult to say that it is indeed difficult to give up directly.

"Don't let them come down."

Xu Yi closed his eyes below, in fact, he had been paying attention to the situation above, and when he heard Li Meihong and the others say these words, he was suddenly a little speechless in his heart.

If they do come down, it will be a very big problem for themselves, because they can't get out of here now, and in any case, this place is clearly like a trap, and it is a trap and a cage until they find the exit.

I've all come in, I've all understood the situation, so there's no need to let them in.

Besides, even if he wants to continue to look for an exit in the future, then having these people with uneven strength will be a burden to Xu Yi himself.

"Mr. Xu said that you are not allowed to go down."

After receiving Xu Yi's order, the splinter stood at the four corners of this door without any hesitation, and the four great venerable level splinters stood around this door, as long as they did not agree, then no one could go down from here.

"What are you doing here?"

Li Meihong didn't quite understand something.

Whatever the situation may be, please let me go down, it's my willingness."

"yes, we've all been here for so long, even if we die below, it doesn't matter."

Qian Lao said the same.
