Chapter 199 Border Wall
Under the control of an unknown force, the flying boat slowly stopped in the sky above this strange world.
When everyone looked through the window, what they saw made people wonder if they had stepped into another dimension?
"This is... the north of the north?" Luo Hua murmured to himself, his eyes looking around unconsciously, trying to capture every detail.
The flying boat slowly landed on the snow, making a dull sound.
As the cabin door opened, a gust of cold wind mixed with an unknown fragrance hit his face. Qin Xiaosui couldn't help but shudder, but he was also attracted by the wonderful scene in front of him.
"Look over there!"
Shen Chengxian pointed to the distance. There were some strange plants growing on the snowfield there. Their leaves emitted a faint blue light, as if they were fluorescent themselves.
"Wait a minute, the rules here...are indeed still the rules of the original world, but they seem to have been slightly distorted." Jiang Qing sensed the surrounding environment. He found that even the most basic water and fire spells became elusive here. , the energy fluctuations when casting the spell are extremely weird.
"Whoosh!"
A cluster of flames lit up in Jiang Qing's palm.
But the next moment, the flames turned strangely green, like a midnight ghost, and then suddenly exploded.
"Brother Jiang, are you sure this wasn't controlled by your subconscious?" Bailiye said in deep thought with a solemn expression.
"I am very sure."
Jiang Qing then tried several more techniques. Most of them could maintain their original characteristics, but over time, unpredictable mutations would occur.
"Hiss—that's a problem."
Several people gathered around and discussed, "It seems that anything related to spiritual energy will be tainted with 'weirdness'. Is it possible that we will not use spiritual energy in the future?"
"impossible!"
Luo Hua retorted directly: "The world here is weird and weird, and maybe there are some native creatures living here that will pose a threat to us.
If you can't use Reiki.
I'm afraid it will be difficult to move forward. "
"I think Junior Brother Luo is right." Shen Chengxian agreed: "Actually, there is one more thing we need to pay attention to, that is, the spiritual energy will undergo unpredictable changes here.
But the use of Reiki is necessary, so don’t use Reiki lightly.
More importantly, don't absorb the spiritual energy of this place. The spiritual energy here may have mutated and problems may arise. "
Luo Hua looked at Shen Chengxian again with a strange look, "I'll go, Brother Shen, when did you become so wise?
It turns out you have more than just breast muscles!
By the way, when did you dye your hair? "
Hearing this, everyone looked at Shen Chengxian's head and saw that his hair had become extremely green at some point.
But it's not over yet.
Everyone was horrified to find that grass was growing on Shen Chengxian's head!
No, it was his green hair that sprouted! And it’s still growing!
"ah?"
After hearing what everyone said, Shen Chengxian took out a mirror and looked at it. Is it really sprouting?
"Whoosh whoosh-!"
A few flashes of silver light flashed, and Shen Chengxian's green sky was cut to the ground.
Some of them were still twisting and squirming on the ground, which made everyone feel numb.
Clean set a fire and burned it.
Now everyone looked at Shen Chengxian with unnatural eyes. Could there be something else mutated?
"Have you absorbed the spiritual energy of this world?" Jiang Qing asked in a deep voice.
The latter nodded.
He also said that this was also the reason why he found that the spiritual energy in this world could not be absorbed, but he did not feel anything strange so far.
"well."
Jiang Qing sighed, it was so troublesome. I thought I didn't need to be reminded about this kind of thing, but I didn't expect that Shen Chengxian started to absorb strange spiritual energy without knowing anything about it.
"Forget it, there shouldn't be any big problems if you absorb a little bit, but remember, you must not continue to absorb it." Jiang Qing warned everyone seriously and warned: "Everyone should cover their body with a layer of protective clothing. Shield, as long as it can isolate the internal and external breath.
I just tried it and it doesn't change.
We now have only one option, and that is to continue exploring North of the North.
because……
It seems we can't go back. "
"What do you mean you can't go back?" Everyone felt nervous.
"Look."
Jiang Qing put the astrolabe in front of everyone, and saw that the pointer kept spinning like crazy and couldn't stop at all.
"Everything here is very strange, even the starfinder disk is out of order." Jiang Qing raised his head and pointed at the snowy field in front of him, "Everywhere here is a vast expanse of white, as far as the eye can see.
There isn't even a reference.
When I looked up, the sky was vast and there was no way to use the sun or stars to determine the direction.
even.
The ice crystal trees that still existed in Jubei City no longer grew here, only endless white. "
"its not right!"
Shen Chengxian said, "When we first got off the flying boat, we saw some fluorescent plants right there..."
As he spoke, Shen Chengxian suddenly choked up, because the place where plants used to grow was completely blank now.
"Hey, what's going on?"
Shen Chengxian rubbed his eyes and couldn't believe it. Everyone saw it at that time. It must be right? !
"Should be similar to a mirage."
"What does this leak mean?" Shen Chengxian scratched the back of his head and asked.
"Mirage, also known as mirage.
It is a natural phenomenon, and its formation principle mainly involves the refraction and total reflection of light. In short, this phenomenon usually only occurs under specific atmospheric conditions." Jiang Qing explained briefly.
"Then now..."
"Keep going forward." Jiang Qing made a decision, "Since we are here, how can we not take a good look?"
Jiang Qing took out a few spirit stones from the storage bag, all of which were top-grade, enough for a Yuanying cultivator whose spiritual power was completely exhausted to recover to the peak state.
"Next, fly forward on the sword, and the spirit stones are used to replenish the spiritual energy in the body. Remember, you must not absorb the spiritual energy here unless it is extremely dangerous.
Do you understand?"
"Understood!" Everyone responded.
"Well, let's go."
Although Jiang Qing and others were full of vigilance, they could not hide their excitement of exploring the unknown.
They knew that there might be a key to a deeper secret here, perhaps the truth about the boundary of the world, or perhaps a new understanding of the law of cultivation.
However, the deeper they went into the world, the more they felt an invisible sense of oppression. Not only physically, but more from the depths of their souls.
It was as if a force was telling them that the secrets here were not accessible to just anyone.
Just as they were exploring carefully, a huge shadow fell from the sky, shrouding them all in darkness. Looking up, a huge creature was looking down at them, its eyes were like two deep black holes, as if to devour all the light.
"This..." Luo Hua swallowed, "Is this the real resident of the North of the North?"
"Humph."
Jiang Qing said nothing, and a sword light swung into the air, instantly cutting the huge creature in half, and then dissipated in the air.
He looked at the stunned Shen Chengxian and Luo Hua, "Don't be dazed, it's still a mirage."
"Keep moving forward. "
"Oh oh..."
...
On the vast snowfield, a city wall stands between heaven and earth. It seems to be the dividing line between heaven and earth, dividing everything into two.
The existence of the city wall seems to block all cause and effect, making everything unable to cross the boundary.
The wall is covered with thick snow, like a long silver dragon winding on the snowfield. Its height is daunting, as if it is an insurmountable mountain. On both sides of the city wall, there is endless white snow on one side and an unknown world on the other.
If you stand in front of the city wall, you will feel an invisible pressure, as if there is a force blocking their progress. This city wall seems to carry some mysterious power.
Like the loneliest warrior, it quietly guards this land and prevents anything from crossing its defense line. It is an indestructible barrier and an insurmountable gap.
And above this city wall, there is still a There are quite a few people sitting there.
The three-foot air wall in front of them seems to be an invisible barrier, blocking the invasion of wind and snow. It is unknown how long they have been sitting in the void.
There are a total of 128 such people, forming an array in the manner of 128 constellations.
Half of them face the outside world, their eyes penetrate the void and look at the unknown world.
The other half look at the inside world, they are guarding this land and not letting anything cross the boundary of the city wall.
The same point is that their aura is strong and mysterious, which makes people feel insurmountable.
These people sitting in the void seem to be the guardians of this city wall, and their figures look particularly lonely in the wind and snow.
"This is..."
Among the people facing the inside world, one of them squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, only to see a few small black dots flying from the flying snow and approaching here.
"Attention, someone is approaching!" The man warned his companions, "Arrange the formation immediately and be prepared for defense."
"Received."
"I'll notify Gu Lao. "
The scene changed, and there was an old attic on the city wall. The windows of the attic were open, and one could see the snowfield inside the boundary and the chaos outside the boundary outside the window.
In the attic, an old man was cooking rice wine around the stove.
The rice wine was heated by the fire, and it was bubbling with hot steam, exuding a strong aroma of wine.
The old man sat by the stove, holding a wine glass in his hand, taking a sip from time to time, and his eyes revealed a deep contemplation and recollection.
He was like an ordinary old farmer, with dark skin. Black, his face was covered with wrinkles left by the years, his hair was gray and slightly sparse.
He was wearing an ordinary gray cotton robe without any gorgeous decoration.
Although his appearance was ordinary, his eyes revealed a deep and calm temperament, as if he had experienced countless ups and downs.
He drank a sip of rice wine.
The wind outside the window blew, blowing away the heat from the fire and the old man's thoughts. He put down the wine glass, stood up, and looked out the window, as if waiting for something to come.
"Report!"
"There are several unidentified people in the border, flying swords, flying mops, and some people fanning their chest muscles, approaching the border at a high speed, and their intentions are unknown.
Please give instructions, old bone."
"Hehehehe..."
The old man walked out of the attic with a smile, "It has been many years since there has been no uninvited visitor to this border.
Look, who is it."
...
"Junior Brother Luo, although I have accepted the fact that you regard the mop as your life weapon, what we are saying is that flying with a sword is a cool thing...
Could you please stop using the mop?
Drop our grade!
How can I get a wife from now on? "
Luo Hua rolled her eyes at Shen Chengxian with disdain and said, "What's wrong with the mop? It's just a way to control the spirit in the sky. As long as you are handsome, you can make the fairy scream even if you step on a reed to control the sky."
And Senior Brother Shen, are you embarrassed to accuse me?
Forget about my mop, what's going on with your two pectoralis major muscles being so crazy?
It's not wings! "
"What do you know? I learned this in the training camp before. Haha, people without discernment will not be able to appreciate it."
…
"Haha, it seems that they are a group of little guys with good cultivation." The old man on the city wall had seen everything clearly.
"Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers...but there are some taboos that no one can touch."
"Old Bones, do you need to kill me?"
A man wearing general armor asked next to him.
"No."
The old man waved his hand, "The other party doesn't seem to be an unknown person, he is probably the heir of someone, although we have the right to kill anyone who approaches the border at will without notification.
But after all, he is a descendant of my human race and is young and ignorant, so it is understandable.
Let me teach them the rules of the world. "As soon as the old man finished speaking, the border wall that stretched for who knows how many miles started to rise from the ground!
The huge stone slowly rises, as if pushed by invisible force.
Until it covers the sky and breaks through the clouds! !
At this moment, the color of heaven and earth changed.
The sun and moon have no light.
The originally clear sky was instantly obscured by the border wall, and the entire land fell into shadow, with only the light of the border wall flickering.
The border wall was engraved with strange runes, shining with mysterious light. These runes seemed to come alive, exuding powerful power and shrouding the entire border wall.
As the border wall goes up, an invisible sense of oppression spreads.
Everyone felt an extremely heavy pressure, as if there was a huge mountain pressing on their hearts, making people breathless.
The rise of the border wall seemed to have triggered some kind of taboo. There were roars from the sky and the earth, as if ancient beasts were roaring, and the whole world was shaking, as if it would collapse at any time.
"Eh? Hey, hey, hey! Damn it!"
"This is?"
Jiang Qing and others had already discovered the border wall and were getting closer, but the wall suddenly rose from the ground.
"Whoa whoa whoa!"
Qin Xiaosui exclaimed excitedly: "Jiang Qing, look, this wall is still growing taller!"
"No way?" Shen Chengxian shook his head, "I have never seen myself return to the taller city wall."
"This city wall is a magic weapon. I'm afraid someone is casting a spell!" Jiang Qing responded with squinted eyes.
