Chapter 258: The Mountain Demon King's Palace
Before more demons could join him, Zhang Su ran down the hillside with Soraya on his shoulder, preparing to send her to a makeshift captive camp. She had a plump body, but she still couldn't feel the weight when she carried it.
The dim light of the old days falls on the burning battlefield, illuminating the scarred land.
Soraya hung her head and didn't resist. Zhang Su walked like a fly, he felt that he had walked more than 1,000 meters, but it didn't look like he could walk out of the mountains at all, there were still clumps of dead trees along the way, and there were temporary demon shacks.
He saw many stone buildings that resembled schools and dens, where the little devils read books and held classes, but they all fled when they noticed Zhang Su's arrival. Do Nazmi's men love to learn so much? Zhang Su thought.
Suddenly, Soraya began to struggle, and then shouted: "Alright! Put me down! How dare you capture the messenger of the stars! The Death Omen will blast you to slag! ”
"Don't worry, you won't get hurt if you're honest." Zhang Su remained patient, jumping on the steep rocks, trying to find the nearest path out of Kagura, he rushed too deep, and the human army had not yet approached, and it was very difficult to reunite with the friendly army.
"The death of the cub hit me hard! Maybe the cubs don't get enough gods...... I need more starlight......" Soraya raised her head, being carried by Zhang Su, her gaze looking at the hell gate of Mount Kagura behind her, "Maybe I shouldn't have done anything with the demons?" There's not a single star in sight! ”
"What kind of guy is Demon Legion Leader Nazmi?" Zhang Su tried to communicate with Soraya.
"Should I serve something more powerful, Devourer of Planets? Infinity Engine? Tianyun Niangniang? Aether Dragon, Grey Wind, Shroud or Circle God? The Scarlet King's research needs to continue, and every minute of my intelligence must be collected and not wasted! Soraya muttered to herself, as if she was completely unaware of her situation.
"Sober up, you're already a captive, under the control of others." Zhang Su said.
"The cubs were beaten into pulp, this is my fate, and I have long seen it. But that doesn't mean my magic has waned in the slightest. What? Make me pay! The cubs have been killed, what more do people want from me? Knowledge is priceless, Nazmi is well aware. "Soraya is completely immersed in her own world.
"Nazmi, the leader of the Demon Legion...... The Devil of Knowledge? Zhang Su pondered, he walked forward, and then stopped.
"It's not a demon of knowledge, that's not enough, but it did visit the palace of the demon god of knowledge and learned a lot of skills." Soraya spoke suddenly, as if she was also concerned about Nazmi's affairs.
"Xiao Su, the ranging scale shows that Ling has traveled 4,370 meters, but our true coordinates only seem to have been displaced by about 2,000 meters." Lydia studied, "It's really stuck in some huge field, and it seems that no matter how you go, it's only half efficient." ”
Zhang Su looked up at the sky and felt that everything had been stretched away, and the original mountain seemed to be widened to twice as long as before, which was disproportionate.
The ground is replicating itself. Zhang Su thought of what Edith had said. The distance here cannot be measured by common sense.
He saw Katie flying through the clouds, swinging her head to search for him, but she had grown so small that her vision was the size of a grain of white rice, and the distance seemed to be doubled, and even the communication signal was blocked out from reaching the other side.
"Here...... Is it still Kagurayama? Zhang Su took a deep breath and put down Soraya on his shoulder.
She didn't care about her surroundings, and once she was put down, she knelt on the ground and scratched her fingers across the dirt to form a series of calculations.
There were no clusters of demons to approach him, probably they were also trapped, Zhang Su sat down to adjust his breathing, recover his strength, and think carefully.
At present, he has about 29 heavy energy, close to 30 heavy, he is still stretched, and there is a long vacuum period after each outbreak, just like now, after a round of fierce battles, he must hurry up and recover, and there is still a long way to go to achieve a seamless and perfect breath circulation. Zhang Su thought to himself.
The Gates of Hell are hidden at the top of Mount Kagura, and Zhang Su is located on the mountainside near the foot of the mountain, twisted by anomalous power, completely desolate, without any sound or sign of life.
At some point, he found himself far away from the hustle and bustle of battle, accompanied by only cold rocks and silent wastelands, and a self-amusing Soraya, as if she had no idea what fear was.
There were bursts of energy supplies from the Guanshi Futu, and Zhang Su returned to his full strength, and then tried to leave the ghost of Kagura Mountain again.
"I'm going to explore, you don't walk around here." Zhang Su said something to Soraya, and then walked down the mountain.
Will the mountain itself keep stretching? How did the demons themselves get down the mountain? If there are such strange physical properties, how can humans go to the top of the mountain and seal the gates of hell, all by the delivery of the air relay?
While thinking, Zhang Su concentrated his mind, activated the power of the Zhibao Mingcha necklace, opened the spiritual vision, and surveyed the surroundings.
In the state of vision, everything seemed to enter a ghost state, covered with a layer of emerald green shadows, and he saw that the road under his feet was also empty, as if it had not existed in the first place.
Using a stone directly in front of him as a benchmark, Zhang Su walked forward, trying to find cracks or discords in the spatial structure.
After taking a hundred steps, he felt that he had not significantly shortened the distance between himself and the stone in front of him, and he could not get to the edge of the stone anyway.
The more he walked, the more the road stretched, and an unnatural feeling rolled in like a haze.
"Soraya?" He turned.
"What does the astrological sign of the Big Dipper mean? It's time to remember and remember. Soraya's voice muttering to herself was very close.
He realized that Soraya was still beside him, as if he had been spinning around in the same place just now.
"She's here to learn, learn, learn." An unfamiliar voice came from Soraya's body.
"Soraya? That's ......," Zhang Su frowned.
"Nazmi." Soraya drew formulas on the ground, and only when she mentioned demons did she get a little more energy, "like a parasite." ”
"You're the one who trapped me here." Zhang Su put his hand on Soraya's shoulder, ready to disperse Nazmi.
"Trapped? Didn't you call it yourself? I haven't had time to criticize you for your rashness! You still have a lot to learn. Nazmi said.
"I have slain many demons. Next up is you. Zhang Su said.
"Indeed, it was a sad day for us, many heroes died on the front lines. This is probably an indispensable sacrifice for great things. But want to touch my being? It's impossible. Nazmi regretted.
"What do you want to do?" Zhang Su asked.
"I don't have any special ideas, I just watch, I arrange my troops, I focus on playing chess, and playing chess is a king's sport. The attack of the human forces will soon be exhausted, and the road up the mountain will be exhausted. And you, as a sharp spear, are also stuck here, unable to reach the top. Nazmi said.
"We'll beat you." Zhang Su handed Guanshi Futu to Soraya.
She raised her head, shook the big stick, and a strong positive air swirled out, destroying the evil thoughts and demonic dregs in her soul. Thus cut off Nazmi's existence.
"It feels like my mind is cleared a little...... "Soraya touched her head, "No! I can't stop observing Paradox-XI, the star that is closest to the answer to the puzzle, and it has such a strong attraction to so many people, as long as I learn a little from it......"
"No, it's still crazy." Zhang Su said to Soraya, "We are all trapped on this mountain, do you have any clue?" Just do me a favor, and it's easy to talk about raising a new cub. Have you ever heard how Nazmi describes its abilities? Why can't I leave? ”
"Use your brain." Soraya pressed her temples with both hands.
She used her fingers to draw a neat line of new formulas in the dirt on the ground, which looked like a ruler, with marks at half, quarter, eighth, and sixteenth, followed by more denser marks.
"Zeno's paradox?" Zhang Su saw the scene described by Soraya.
He recalled. Zeno the Sage of Elia once mentioned a paradox:
If a person is going to walk from A to B, then one always has to walk half of the way, then walk the remaining half, and then go through the remaining half......
If this cycle continues, one will never reach the "end" of reality.
The philosopher Hui Shi also said, "One foot of air, half of it in a day, inexhaustible." Similar thoughts. Zhang Su closed his eyes and pondered.
If Nazmi used this technique, it would mean that the distance under his feet would be false, and even if he spent his whole life, he would only be able to reach the extreme edge of Kagurayama.
With each step, it seemed like a constant trek in his field of vision, but in fact it only moved a few nanometers on a real scale! The efficiency of displacement is eventually reduced to the extreme.
"How?" Soraya and Zhang Su spread their hands.
"It would be nice if there was an infinite amount of time." Zhang Su pondered, "It is possible to cultivate superior mathematical literacy, the sum of infinite geometric series can converge to a finite result, and if the half-number distance is fully studied, the mathematical convergence point of this series of journeys can be determined, and then a breakthrough can be made from there." ”
"No, you and I are stuck here, and there is nothing else to do for the rest of our lives except to raise a new cub together, so let's start working hard now, right? Come with me to the teachings of the winged octopus head. Soraya was in high spirits.
"No, I'm going to the top of the mountain." Zhang Su said.
"To the top? In that case...... Soraya was surprised.
"Yes, Nazmi has turned the entire Kagura Yama into a labyrinth. Since I couldn't get out of the labyrinth, I walked to the center of the labyrinth, and in front of all the demons, I found it and killed him. Zhang Su picked up Guanshi Futu and turned around and walked towards the gate of hell on Kagura Mountain.
"There are too many demons along the way!" Soraya wondered, "You won't get tired?" Don't get tired! ”
"I'm not afraid. Just be careful yourself. Zhang Su said.
"You're so friendly." Soraya followed Zhang Su, "Do you have a favorite?" Where is she? ”
"Lately...... Zhang Su thought of Edith, "there is a woman who I care about a lot, and I don't know what she will do. If only she were willing to help me, she could do a lot of incredible things. ”
"So powerful, will she turn to you?" Soraya gradually became interested in Zhang Su.
"If she hates me, she'll abandon me, deal with me, elusive." Zhang Su said.
"I'll just go here, the stars teach me to find a place to hide." Soraya paused and looked at the Gates of Hell, "I know that behind those Gates of Hell, there seems to be some more terrible monster coming. ”
