Chapter 65 Sand Sea
Duanmujian lifted his drooping head and stared at the frightening sky.
She felt the cinnabar on her chest was slightly hot, like a cluster of flames rising in her heart.
The moment she raised her head, the spirits of the Sumuya ancestors who were scattered everywhere on the plain also turned around.The head that shone with dim silver light was lifted up, looking directly at the indescribable sky.
The soul fire in Lu Ran's pupils was flourishing, and Ruomu was under heavy pressure, soaring into the air with difficulty, and flew towards the high mountain covered by the huge hole in the sky.Yi Yao followed Ruomu without hesitation.Duanmujian took a deep breath, pulled Song Jun, turned his back to the exit of the dream, and took the first step towards the mountain.
The silver soul was like a split tide, making way for a few people.They silently followed the crowd and headed towards the mountains.
Every step closer to the majestic mountain in the center, the heavier the burden on the body.Ruomu, the leader, flapped his soft wings with difficulty, fighting against the coercion sinking on his body.
The black hole in the sky looks even bigger.
Lu Ran had a strange feeling that the distance between the sky and the earth seemed to be getting closer, and the bloody sky seemed to be sinking slowly from the moment they turned around.
He got rid of distracting thoughts and concentrated on controlling his eyes.
We are almost at the foot of the mountain.
Suddenly, the field of vision went dark, and the connection of Ruomu suddenly broke.In the dream, Yi Yao catches the falling Ruomu.The magic weapon the size of Hu Feng lay lifelessly in his palm, a deep crack pierced through the Lingshi at the core of Ruomu.
If the Mu is just a low-level magic weapon, among the five levels of the magic weapon "Xuantiandi Youfan", it can only be ranked lower than the You level.At this time, it was the first to be unable to bear the pressure and shattered.
There was a commotion in the mustard bag around Song Jun's waist, and a brand new Ruomu managed to get out of the bag, passed over the shoulders of several people as if nothing had happened, and flew to the front again to lead the way.
They had already reached the foot of the mountain, and the clothes on the backs of Duanmu Jian and Song Jun were soaked in cold sweat.Turning around and looking back, the quaint wooden houses and mud houses that I had seen before appeared in the open land again.Misty and illusory, like a mysterious mirage.
Some people saw their dwellings, went into the house and locked the door firmly.But more ghosts began to follow their footsteps, making their way to the top of the mountain with difficulty.
The green fireflies flutter lightly in the silvery soul, like a dream.
Only when walking in the mountains and forests can they truly realize how huge the black hole above their heads is, and they are simply heading towards the dead zone.Song Jun was terrified and walked up bravely, sweat blurring her vision.Duanmujian and Yi Yao in front of them stopped suddenly, Song Jun blinked and saw what Yi Yao was holding in his hand.
Another Ruomu shattered.
With a movement of Duanmujian's cuff, the third Ruomu flew out, and flew forward without looking sideways.
Lu Ran was very embarrassed.
He is an instrument repairer with professional ethics.This is a low-quality magic weapon that breaks easily like paper, and it is really not his true level.
If there was no one around, he continued to fly forward, and was covered by a cloud of soil rising from the ground.
While stopping Ruo present, Duanmujian asked Song Jun, "How many Ruomu do you have?"
Song Jun looked at the mustard bag.Before entering the dream, Lu Ran stuffed a lot of eyes for each of them, for fear that they would be scattered everywhere in the dream and not be able to find each other.But a lot was destroyed in the first few layers of dreams.Now, after doing the math, there was only one left beside her.
Duanmujian was even worse, except for the one that just flew out, there was no one left.There were three more around Yi Yao, and he generously distributed them to the two, leaving only the remains of a few damaged spiritual artifacts, which were carefully put away.
Duanmujian made a decision: "The all-field vision provided by Ruomu is very important, and we can no longer waste it recklessly. I will take the lead later."
Ruomu was released from the earth cage, and just about to flap his wings to fly forward, Yi Yao grabbed him and put him on his shoulder.
Duanmujian passed Yi Yao and walked to the front, squinting his eyes and looking upwards.
Halfway up the mountain, near the top of the mountain, a prominent platform can be vaguely seen.When the silver-white light flowed from top to bottom before, it was blocked by the stones above, and it would divert to avoid the platform.If her guess is correct, the size of that platform should be enough to accommodate all existing souls.
She fixed her position and continued to walk upwards.
As soon as she took the first step, she immediately understood why the magic weapon made by Lu Ran suddenly shattered.
An unprecedented pressure gripped her heart, making her almost unable to breathe.Duanmujian regretted it almost immediately——
Why would she do such a stupid thing.Anyway, Ruomu still has something left, as long as he follows Lu Ran's guidance without thinking.Yi Yao is still there.Since this magic cultivator has been helping them before, maybe he is willing to help them this time.
Song Jun also followed behind her, and there were tens of thousands of Sumuya souls.What if this path is wrong.It's so stupid, the volcano is about to erupt, and she is actually leading the people to climb the mountain... What's the use of escaping to the mountain... What if this is also a volcano... What the hell is she doing...
Duanmujian's footsteps became slower and slower, and a calm voice sounded from behind:
"Don't hesitate, there is no retreat, only forward."
It was Yi Yao's voice, clear and sweet, like the sound of a phoenix.
The cinnabar on Duanmujian's chest was hot, like a burning flame.She no longer remembered the origin of the cinnabar, but had a vague feeling that it was some kind of covenant.
Duanmujian closed his eyes.
Nothing stands in the way on the open plain.Even if you run wildly, you can't run away from the surging magma.They can only go up, must go up, keep going up.In the monstrous anger of the mountain god, find the only calm and stable stone platform that extends outwards and is shaken by the earth.
Duanmujian didn't dare to turn his head, fearing that once he turned his head, he would never have the courage to turn around again.So she didn't see, following her, tens of thousands of souls emitting silver light.
In this world, there is no longer a mysterious light flowing down from the top of the mountain, only a rock silent in the darkness.The silver-white soul silently climbed up the stone path.The translucent body is like misty mountains reflecting the morning light in the forest.
Each one is so bleak and subtle.But the silver light of the dots and souls gathered together and headed towards the dim and gloomy mountaintop, like a brilliant galaxy going upstream.
Time begins to reverse, and the streamer will also start to go back.
When the light no longer shines on the land—
The Sumuya made themselves the light that illuminates the world.
The ground under her feet began to vibrate, and Yi Yao let out a magic breath in time to help Duanmujian, who was at the front, to prevent her from falling.
Duanmujian's expression was solemn, and she told her from the spiritual power of the underground detection that this was a precursor to a volcanic eruption.
The platform is just above the head, and there are cliffs on three sides.
According to the shape of the mountain that Duanmujian is familiar with, this protruding platform should have been difficult to reach.Even if there is a narrow path leading to the stone platform, it is often rugged and difficult to walk, and it is definitely not accessible to weaker women, children, old and young.
The road to the stone platform should have been cut off here——
However, something miraculous happened before her eyes.
Two bridges made of vine branches are firmly erected on one side of the cliff and on this protruding platform.The structural materials are extremely rough. It seems that their technology has not yet developed to find the best balance between maintaining the stability of the structure and reducing the weight of the structure.
However, this simple and simple bridge is erected here, erected on the edge of a steep cliff, leading directly to the wide stone platform on the high mountain.
The road was opened.
Duanmujian didn't dare to turn his head back without authorization, so he could only look to his side from the corner of his eye.
The high mountain in the middle of the basin plain is not extremely steep, but it is definitely not smooth and difficult to walk.But when they went up the mountain, they hardly felt the uneven terrain, and were never blocked by boulders and broken logs.
In the mountains and forests, almost no soul is left behind.Even young children and old people with short legs and weak strength can keep up with the pace of the team going up the mountain.This is absolutely abnormal, unless there is some kind of ghostly power that protects them along the way.
But the power of ghosts and gods does not exist.
Duanmujian looked down at his feet.
A roughly polished slab of stone.
There is a road on the mountain.
Someone paved a road on the mountain.
In the original land where a sufficient and balanced diet cannot be completely guaranteed, the first group of people who arrived here, like a flock of frightened birds, were worried about how to enter the mountains and forests to defend and counterattack if their homes were invaded.
So they tried their best to overcome all opinions and built a road in the mountains.
Remove all broken logs, bypass all boulders, and connect all ravines and sky moats.Straight to the safe mountain platform.
The road has not waited for the invading enemy army, it has only been trampled by the hunters, sinking into the dirt year after year.Almost everyone has forgotten why those people gathered the strength of the whole family to build a seemingly useless mountain road.
Until that day a hundred years later, a catastrophe suddenly struck.They went all the way up this rough mountain road.No need to detour to avoid obstacles, no need to risk flying over ravines, no need to struggle to climb with bare hands, no need to reluctantly abandon a sick relative.
A group of people paved a road for them to easily evacuate to the top of the mountain a hundred years ago.
The earthquake was even more severe. Several people lost their grip and slipped and fell down.Song Jun subconsciously wanted to throw out the whip to hook their ankles, but the long whip passed through the ghost's body and caught nothing.Her eyes widened, realizing that the world didn't allow what she had just done.
The earthquake became more severe, and more than half of the people successfully boarded the platform.The young and strong youth knelt on the edge of the platform, stretched his arms, and pulled the rest of them.
At this moment, the mountain swayed violently, and the earth bridge with an imperfect and reasonable structure was already crumbling, and at this time it was directly disconnected from the middle.Dozens of people who were still on the bridge were caught off guard and fell down.Without even wailing, he disappeared at the bottom of the deep mountain in an instant.
Duanmujian watched the sudden tragedy with his eyes helplessly, he grabbed the lapel of his heart and breathed heavily, the bright red cinnabar imprint on his chest was hot like a blazing fire.
It was she who brought them up.It was she who asked them to follow her up the mountain.It was she who assured them that the mountain was safe.
But now, those dozens of people died in the mountainside because of their trust in him.
It was she who killed them.
It was she who pushed them to a dead end with her own hands.
Yi Yao silently watched the young nun who was in pain.The deep eyes were covered with a hazy mist, as if there were countless clouds and smoke from the past flowing indistinctly, fleeting.
This kind of pain and suffering of ruining other people's lives because of her own decision can only be experienced by herself.He can only do nothing, and must be indifferent.
Duanmujian watched silently the soul that disappeared between the cliffs.
They die by themselves.
But there was nothing wrong with her choice.
She firmly believes that this is the only correct path.
Accompanied by a bang, the doomsday-like scene reappeared.Fiery red magma spewed out from the top of the mountain, and the tumbling magma rushed down with the force of thunder and electricity.Duanmujian calmed down and said in a hoarse voice, "We should go up too."
Song Jun nodded.The earth bridge on this side is broken.She threw out her long whip to hook the protruding stones, turned over to the protruding platform first, lowered the whip, and was about to pull others up.
Just as Duanmujian was about to hold the long whip, a drooping blue bird with messy feathers landed feebly on the branch in front of Duanmujian.One didn't stand still, fell to the ground with a smack, and dropped several bird feathers, making his already sparsely feathered body even more bald.
Jade Bird, who had endured the workplace pressure that its petite body shouldn't have to bear, glanced at Ruomu resentfully, and shouted at Duanmujian:
"Don't go! Don't go! There's no future!"
Duanmujian: "..."
Then I go?
Inside the temple, Lu Ran, who knew what happened from Yi Yao's description, buried his flushed face in his palm, roaring silently in his heart.
Zhou Qingluan is a big waste!The warning message sent out half an hour ago, why did it only arrive now!
The author has something to say:
So there is a reason why the soul is set to be the same white as the streamer from the beginning~
Time begins to reverse, and the streamer will also start to go back √
Regarding the pavement for road construction in the original land, in Sand Sea 25 and Sand Sea 28√
The ending "Don't go forward" is inspired by the classic three-body sentence "Don't return, this is not home"√
