Chapter 29: The Rift
One step later is a bottomless cliff, behind which is a forest shrouded in red mist, and when you look up, you can only see the scene about five kilometers ahead, although it is a little vague, but you can also distinguish that it is also an endless forest.
Just walked out of the forest without any sense of direction, Wang Lung didn't want to go back, but if he didn't go back, he could only move forward, and the advance was a bottomless cliff, Wang Lung was a little depressed.
Chasing the rustling sound driven by the snake shadow, chasing all the way here, the snake shadow has long been gone, with Wang Lung's current strength, stepping through the deep ravine of five kilometers out of thin air, it is impossible, not to mention that the opposite side is also a forest, it is better not to go.
As for the sides around the body, there is no need to think about it at all, the direction in which the snake shadow disappeared is here, if the other party turns, there must be a sound that can be recognized, and now the sound is gone, and the snake shadow is gone, then there are only two possibilities, one is that the other party fell into the cliff, and the other is to fly over the rift valley and enter the forest opposite.
The last possibility Wang Lung did not recognize, after all, chasing all the way, even if there was some distance from the snake shadow, the distance was not too far, definitely not more than fifty zhang, after all, the voice could be heard clearly, but after leaving the misty forest, there was nothing that could block the line of sight, the five-kilometer-wide rift, the other party really wanted to fly to the opposite side, he would definitely be able to see it, but within Wang Lung's line of sight, there was no trace to be found, which means that the other party fell into the rift nine times out of ten.
Looking at the bottomless cliff below, you can see far away, like a knife-cut cliff, there are very few places to land, only a few protruding rocks, if you want to go down to the bottom of the cliff, you must be careful.
With his current cultivation, he can't fly in the sky. The physique is good, but it is not strong enough to fall freely, if you really do that, it is estimated that there is only one consequence, that is, to fall into a mess of minced meat.
If Wang Lung wants to leave this space, he must find the strange snake. He was introduced here by the other party, and the passage he entered had disappeared, and Wang Lung didn't know whether the passage could reappear, and he didn't know if the passage was still in place even if it reappeared, so he could only find the strange snake, either begging the other party to let him out, or coercing the other party by force, there was no other way.
In fact, Wang Lung didn't know. The space he was in was a place that was automatically derived from Firefly Birch's body, because when he came in, there were three flame crystals imprisoned on his body, and one flame crystal could represent a firefly birch's clone, which was three of the tens of millions of clones released after the formation of Firefly Birch's body divine power cultivation.
If Wang Lung does not enter this space, the strange snake will not be closed for a certain period of time through the entrance of the light curtain, and it can only close by itself after the firefly birch divine power is stabilized, and the three flame crystals on Wang Lung's body. That is, the crystal nucleus in Wang Long's eyes is the key to enclosing this space.
The birch magic power is in its infancy. released tens of millions of doppelgangers to travel inside the sun, and gave several orders to all the clones, including one of the hundred moons planted by Wang Long, and one was to return all the parts to the body, and then retreat for decades to stabilize the supernatural powers after the internal space was closed, these orders are all programmed orders. If one of the clones does not return, the spatial passage will not be closed, and even if it is not closed, it will not have any effect on the retreat of Firefly Birch.
It's a pity that Wang Lung entered the space inside the firefly birch with three flame crystals. Even if the three spars were included in the storage spirit weapon by Wang Lung, it still couldn't be hidden, it just took a little time, at that time Wang Lung just entered this space, and the curtain did not disappear at the beginning, and after sensing the three flame crystals hidden in Wang Lung's storage spirit weapon, the space channel was closed, and when it was closed, Wang Lung was already far away from the light curtain that entered this place, so he didn't see it.
When the passage was completely closed, and when Hotaru was about to retreat, he found that Wang Lung was in his body, and at that time he wanted to open the space in his body again and expel Wang Lung out, but he couldn't, because there were three Yan Crystals imprisoned by Wang Lung, which was equivalent to holding the key to open the door in Wang Lung's hands, locking himself, even the owner of the space, Hotaru had no choice but to ask Huang Yan for help.
Wang Lung doesn't know the cause and effect, and during this time in the space, every time he kills a demon beast, the Yan Crystal left behind after the death of the other party must be put away by him, if Wang Lung doesn't collect the Yan Crystal, and releases all the Yan Crystals collected on his body, Firefly Hua doesn't need to ask Huang Yan for help at all, he can open the space in his body and release Wang Lung by himself.
The supernatural power of the body of the flame crystal is very complicated, and it is also an independent space in the body before it is cultivated, but at that time, there are no these flame crystals in the body, let alone the so-called demon beasts and forests and other terrain, it is like a space formed by chaotic qi, lifeless, after his supernatural power is cultivated, with the help of those chaotic qi in the body space, it is condensed into countless flame crystals, and then the internal space is opened, it can be opened through the fire crystal, when the fire crystal is not used, the yan crystal evolves on its own in the body space, or becomes a demon beast, or forms a mountain lake, and it can continue to improve the strength of the fire crystal, this is a process of slow evolution, it takes a long timeใ
Since the body of Yan Jing has just been cultivated, Firefly Birch's control over Yan Jing can not be as he wants, at first he released tens of millions of Yan Crystal incarnations, which is only one millionth of what he can control in his body, and it is also the sum of the number of Yan Crystals he can control at this stage, these Yan Crystals are needed to open the space channel, and these Yan Crystals are also needed to stabilize the supernatural powers, and all the Yan Crystals that can be controlled are not needed to stabilize the supernatural powers, but all the Yan Crystals must be used to open the channel, but unfortunately, three Yan Crystals were imprisoned by Wang Long, and Firefly Hua was powerless.
The passage is closed, and the space in Firefly Birch's body is self-contained, before his Yan Jing's body is not stable, he can't communicate with Wang Long in his body, if he doesn't care about it, then Wang Long will only wait until Firefly Birch's divine power is stable, that is, thousands of years, but how can Wang Long have such a long lifespan to consume, so it is imminent to rescue Wang Long.
Wang Lung didn't know all of this, if he was smarter, he would release all the confiscated Yan Crystals, even if he threw them on the ground, it didn't matter, as long as Yan Jing returned to this space as a free body, Firefly Birch could sense it immediately, and he didn't have to risk devouring the Black Yan Stone to rescue Wang Long.
At this time, Wang Lung was faced with a choice, and the same was true of Firefly Birch, after Firefly Hua left Huangyan's cave, he came to Tianyang Spring without any hesitation, lying flat in the spring water, his mind was constantly tumbling, praying for good luck, and praying for Wang Lung's head to open up instantly, and the picture in his mind was changing rapidly. I can't calm my mind at all.
Looking at the cliff wall about a hundred feet away from him, there was a protruding rock, from a distance, the rock was not too big, but it was the only place to stay.
Wang Lung had already figured it out, no matter how deep this cliff was. The snake must be pursued, or he won't be able to get out.
With a long sigh of relief, his eyes stared closely at the protruding rock below, and as soon as he held his breath, his body jumped up slightly, and he slowly fell to the rock.
It fell slowly, and its speed was not much different from descending by elevator, not as rapid as Wang Lung imagined, and after he found that the descent speed was wrong. His expression was stunned and then showed a faint smile, he was also worried that he was descending too fast, and under the acceleration of gravity, the rock could not withstand the pressure of his descent at all, and now he could not worry about it.
With such a descent, there is no need to use rocks as a springboard, and even if the cliff is bottomless, Wang Lung is not worried that he will fall into the flesh. His initial fears were not unreasonable, because within this space. He could feel that the gravity here was basically the same as that of Earth, and the first time he killed the strange bird, although the distance it fell from was not high, the speed of descent was indeed the same as that of Earth, but it was completely different here.
In the same space, is there a difference in gravity? Wang Lung couldn't figure it out, but he didn't care, since there was no danger, its descent speed naturally increased a lot, even so. He didn't plan to jump down, after all, the space he was in was full of weirdness, and if he fell halfway through, gravity suddenly returned to its original state, it would be troublesome.
After about half an hour, Wang Lung finally saw the bottom of the cliff, although he had not gone down, but the landform was very clear, directly below him was a not-so-large pool, a radius of about five kilometers, just connected to the cliffs on both sides, the red water surface was like a pool of blood, there were no demon beasts next to the pool, only some sparse weeds.
Looking up along the cliff wall, the place where it came down was long gone, but Wang Lung estimated that this cliff was ten kilometers deep, if it weren't for the gravity of the rift valley here was a little weird, with the way he descended, I am afraid it would be difficult to fall on the current rock, because there were many and long distances in the middle of the road There were no protruding rocks to settle on, and without knowing the depth of the waterhole below, or not knowing the existence of a waterhole, he didn't dare to jump down at all.
He looked down at the waterhole below, and looked at the distance he was in, about seven or eight hundred meters, and there was no rock to settle on on the rock wall below, so he could only jump directly into the waterhole.
Jumping directly is nothing to Wang Lung, the gravity here is very small, and the descent speed is negligible to him, Wang Lung did not hesitate at all, kicked his feet, and his body fell into the air diagonally forward.
What Wang Lung didn't expect happened, his body was only one or two meters into the air, only about a zhang away from the cliff, and its descent speed was instantly increased several times, such a change made Wang Lung unprepared, and after a startle, he could only grit his teeth and fall into the waterhole.
Leaving the range of the cliff, the gravity recovered as before, which Wang Lung did not expect, seven or eight hundred meters away from the waterhole, its descent speed can be imagined, Wang Lung knew that such a height would not kill him, but it would also fall into serious injury, after the shock, Wang Lung could only pray that the waterhole below was very deep, enough to buffer the speed of the descent.
With a bang, a few seconds passed quickly, and Wang Lung smashed directly into the waterhole without any protection.
Or maybe it's time to run, or maybe Lady Luck opened her eyes, and the pool below was so deep that even if Wang Lung fell into it from a height of seven or eight hundred meters, it didn't sink to the bottom, not to mention that he would suffer any injuries.
There is a bottomless pool as a buffer, such a height is very dangerous for ordinary people, but it is not worth mentioning at all for Wang Lung, who has rough skin and thick flesh, Wang Lung only felt a little numb on his body, and quickly recovered, while sinking underwater, his head turned around to see if there were any monsters in the water, fortunately there was no danger.
Out of the waterhole, Wang Lung carried the law of fire, dried the clothes on his body, raised his eyes and looked around, where he was in the rift, he didn't know where it was at all, the left and right sides were rifts that didn't know where to extend, the waterhole only occupied a small area, and where the strange snake fled, he didn't know at all.
There are no monsters within sight, and there are no strange birds flying overhead, but Wang Lung is not worried about losing the other party's traces, after all, there are some weeds growing around the pool, with the huge body of the strange snake, falling from above will definitely fall into the pool, there must be water stains left on the edge of the pool during this time, even if there are no water stains, the direction of the other party's escape can be distinguished from those overwhelmed weeds.
After about a cup of tea, Wang Lung finally found the weeds that were crushed, and there were even some weeds with traces of crushing, and there were many broken weeds, and a trace could be vaguely seen extending into the distance, Wang Lung saw this, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he got up and chased in the direction of the strange snake's escape.
What Wang Lung didn't expect was that he chased for more than half a month, not only did he not see any trace of the strange snake, but he also didn't encounter a single demon beast, and he didn't even have any clue where the end of the rift was, as if this rift ran through the entire space, and there was no end at all.
Wang Lung stood next to the cliff on one side, looked back behind him, and continued to look ahead, he had been in this strange space for more than a month, I am afraid that it would not work if it continued like this, in ten days, Arlinn's deadline was about to arrive, he had to find the strange snake within a week, and hurry back to the Pure Land to plant the last Baiyue Shame, otherwise his experience would end in failure.
It takes seven or eight days to plant Baiyue Sha, which is an indispensable period, after all, you have to wait for Baiyue Sha to bloom, otherwise it will not be considered to complete the experience at all, but at the moment Wang Lung doesn't know if he still has the possibility of success, after all, he has been deep in the rift for more than half a month, and the trace of the strange snake has not been found at all.
The delay was unacceptable to Wang Lung now, he had no other way but to continue to run, in his opinion, since the strange snake escaped along the rift, there would always be a day when it caught up with the other party.
I wanted to continue the pursuit, but Wang Lung didn't know that a huge figure was slowly approaching him, not in front or behind, but above his head, for the danger, Wang Lung didn't know at all, let alone that it was the snake shadow he had been chasing for more than half a month.
